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 —

THE BIG HORN ANNUAL Modern and Medievel History Medieval and Modern history has been enjoyable and interesting thru out the entire year. The aim has been to make it valuable, enjoyable and interesting to every member of the class. Our history has taken up modern times much more extensively than medieval l egin-ning in the sixteenth century with the struggle in England between the King and Parliament up to the World war in 1914. We have found our text book very good and interesting but oui study has not been confined to it only, we have read out side topics. Each week one mem-I er ol the class gives a report on some historical man or event. The value ol this has been to get more details connected with the event than is given in the text book, to make it easiei foi the pupil to talk be-fore numbei of people, and to give practice in gathering ma-etrial and deli ering a speech. Besides this we have read outside books such as Ivanhoe and the Talisman in which we were able to get a view of the customs and conditions as really existed during the medieval and modem times. With the exception of a few the class was composed of lower classmen. Under our helpful and capable instructor Genevieve Albertson, we are sure that every pupil has derived full benefit from his year’s work in this class. remarkable Rem .rks from the M M History Class Carl Hoerr—Oh, death! where is thy sting!

Jennette Randall—A man in coveralls has always been my here. Harold Lindstrom—1 believe in asking questions. American Government What are the greatest benefits which we have derived from our work in civil government? We learned, first, to l e independent thinkers and, second, we have been taught to view a question from all sides; that is, to listen to the opinion of other people and to attempt to sec the question from their view point. This has tended to make us broad minded and has enabled us to gather the good points from a general discusion. What two qualities are greater assets to good citizenship? We have not confined our study to the text book only, but have studied current topics to a great extent. In each day’s discussion some new thot is brot out by a member of the class. Sometimes the arguments become very heated; in lact we feel that the American Government class is the liveliest class and most interesting in school. When all the members ot our class Ijecome voters we will find that we have learned more in this work about our duties as citizens than we could possibly have learned otherwise. In many cases our work has been accompanied by practical demonstrations. We have studied national, state, county and city government very carefully; not only the theory ol each; bt the present day problems with which they are confronted . A very extensive survey has been made recently concerning social legislation. Child labor and rural problems have been eespecially interesting subjects underthis head. We know, however, that no one could make this work quite so interesting as Miss Albertson nad perhaps it is thru her effort and interest that our work has been so beneficial.
