THE BIG HORN ANNUM attending a Lyceum number, a thot came to me that here was a clue I had overlooked. Miss Jewell. 1 knew, had a special talent for speaking, so 1 got off wires at once to all the ly-ceum bureaus in the country. I finally found on with which she had been connected, but she had left them and had gone to Brazil. I at once got into communication with the head-quarters of our firm in that country and folowed at once by airplane. At our office at Rio de Janerio I was informed that a Miss Jewel. who fitted my description, had married a rich coffee planter some years ago and now was living on their plantation near Benavia, a small inland town. I immediately chartered a plane for the trip and went into the interior. I found Miss Jewell to have the same charming personality as back in the years that I had known her in school. 1 told her of the reunion to be held now in r. few weeks On my return to Rio de Janerio I found a cablegram ordering me to report to the commanding officer at San Francisco. That trip I made by boat. I found the general to be none other than our class sponser, Mr. Nelson. The work he had for me carried me up into Alaska from w’hich I have just returned. Tonight is the night of the reunion, but as I was unable to get pack in time for it, I decided to stop off and spend the 28th in my old school town, Hardin. I 920 Class Will KNOW ALL MEN BY THESF. PRESENTS, That I. Ellen M. Stearns, being in unusual mind, and knowing nothing of the secrets of the Senior Class, acting under their influence, and also under the influence of all sorts, sizes, shapes and forms of fraud, bribery, conspiracy, strategy, and menace of those persons as shall be herein and hereafter named, in order that these said persons shall benefit and become notorious by receiving honorable men- tion in connection with the respected success of the class of 1920, of the famous High school of the County of Big Horn, State of Montana, do declare this to be the last Will and Testament of the said class and therefore to take precedence over any other Will said class may make at any future date, or which may have been drawn up at any former date; and I do also, in the name of the respected class ot 1920,cede, devise, and bequeath all our unworthy qualities, true or untrue, real or unreal. mixed or otherwise; TOWIT AS FOLLOWS:--------- 1st—We, as a class, in our Rarest Moment ol Supreme Meditation, decided to will one of our most treasured possessions, Miss Albertson, tc the Juniors, to love, honor and obey as we have done before them. 2d—To George Tipton, who has learned ot Senior Dignity and Obedience from being in two senior classes this year, we hand down the responsibility of showing next year’s Seniors how to become dignified and obedient men and women. 3rd—The Sophomores, l eing direct heirs, will find it their duty to torment next year’s Seniors,as they have done before.

A successful one, too! The Big Horn started off full blast the first of the year to mould the character ol our pupils and to mould public opinion Was its purpose accomplished? Listen while we tell you about it. There are several benefits derived from a school paper. The benefit is received by the school, the reader, the adver- tiser and last, but most important of all, the student himself. The school receives a benefit because the paper is sent all over the state. It is a good paper, a good advertiser. People locate where school facilities are good. It proves to those who read it that our school is alive. Thus our paper brings many good citizens to Hardin and good citizens mean a good school. The advertiser is l enefitecl in practically the same way. What man who places an advertisement in our paper does not want Hardin to “boom”? It is doubtful if the advertiser realizes how extensively his business is advertised. Results will tell. During the year every student has been given an opportunity to write for the paper as a part of his English work. The student has at times been asked to write on subjects that he knew very little about. But undaunted he has been brave, professed his ignorance “to those far wiser than lie” and returned to class with a well written theme and a valuable fund of information. The best theme or the best from several themes was published. How proud we felt when we saw in the next paper our own editorial. These papers have been read by outsiders and because of this a closer relation has been established between the people and the people’s children. For this successful year the students extend their thanks to the teachers for their assistance, to the readers for their interest and to the business men for their advertisements. We are glad to see that the people know that it pays to advertise 1920 has been a big year, let’s make ’21 a bigger one, and ’22 a “whopping” big one. Let the good work “carry on.” THE DEBATING TEAM mi: Di.15 it. For the first time in its history the Hardin High School joined the state debating league. As there were so many aspirants for places on the team, it was necessary tc have a course of elimination. The first contest was one in which all those wishing to enter prepared a six minute talk on the debate subject, — “Resolved, That the manage form ol city government should be adopted by the towns and cities of Montana.” In this contest six speakers, Ilarok1 Lindstrom, Phebo Jewell, Edgar Reeder, Bessie Cook, Randall Cartel and Buchanan Foley, with two alternates, Thomas Cook and George Tipton, were selected. These six later met and debated the same subject, at which time, Phebe Jewell, Buchanan Foley and Harold Lindstrom with Bessie Cook as alternate, were selected to represent the high school in the league debate. The Hardin High was placed with four other high schools in the sixth debating district and on February 27 at Hardin, a debate with Joliet was held. The judges, Rev. Anshutz, Miss AVood and Rev. Shaw, of Billings, gave the decision to Joliet. The Hardin High will join the league again next fall and with the experience of this year, it expects to give any school in its district a good run and to send its representatives to the state meet at Missoula in May. — Twelve —
