Each senior must have the examination form with him when he reports for the 'examination. Ar-
from about 5;Q- microns to a few centimeters in length, Knowledge of the growth of metal fibers on non-metals extends over more than four centuries. Historically, interest in metal fiber growth originated in, or was stimulated by, an examination for possible relationships between the vegetable and mineral kingdoms'. Any fibrous growth of a solid may be regarded as a form of whisker growth. Typical exampIes are asbe~tos, which occurs naturally, .and. hair silver,. whpse natural .occurrerice and .procedures- for artificial production have been khown for centuries.' However, the knowledge of whisker growth of metals on rnetals is largely confined to the last twenty years. Impetus to this field of study resulted somewhat acciden~ally. About 191415, trouble was experienc~d with the inter~al short circuiting of electroplated condensers used in radio and telephone service. ~he trouble' was traced to the presence of microscopic filaments which had bridged the critical spac~ngs in the condenser.

Proqress Report ofThe 161 Magma By Henry~Thompson basic' aim this year is to' produce a yearbook that the students of Montana School of Mines will be proud of, a book that is representative of our way of life at MSM and: portrayed in good yearbook style. We have tried to incorporate many new ideas, ineluding a different -method of printing, larger sized pages, inc~ease in number of pages, a different type of paper, a theme, symbolic sketches" a different style of layout, and the use ,of collor-tinted division pages. This yea~s y~rbook will be a turning point in the stature of the Magma. We will either produce a yearbook that will surpass! the quality of the previous years or we will miserably fail. If we succeed we will set a standard on (Continued on page 4) OUT
