Inexperience has caused much delay and many mistakes, and for that reason the book falls short of some of our fondest hopes. But we hope that the book, even with its faults, will serve to bring to the minds of its readers, pleasant memories of happy days spent in Old Hardin High. Schoolmates, the book is now yours. We hope that it measures up to your expectations and will be the most cherished memorial of this High School year. In its pages we have tried to embalm the friendships, the humor, the struggles, the pleasantries, and the spirit of your high school days. In that dim future when “twilight’s guise of gray” shall have settled down over us all, we hope that this Annual will be of even greater interest to you then than it is today. 5 THE STAFF Supt. S. R. Logan X ir e GREETINGS I congratulate the members of the Senior Class upon their enterprise in the publication of this book. 1 hey have gone far since they undertook preparation of their first little booklets twelve years ago. I am sure this book will be valued as a sort of autograph of the school in 1925; as a reflection of many and various personalities; as an index of happy, nurturing, associations. It records progress from illiteracy to literacy during the years when the class of 1925 has been trying to find out in the schools what the world is about. We trust that the lesson of searching thoroughly, weighing honestly, and serving telligently has been well learned. May this work be esteemed by others as it is treasured by myself. S. R. LOGAN 7 THE George M. Harris Principal, Hardin High School 8 DEDICATION It is the wish of the Class of 1925 of the Hardin High School, to dedicate this Annual to one who has kept the interest of the Class at heart and who, by infinite patience, foresight and careful planning, has guided the Class through its four years of high school work. In choosing Principal George M. Harris the entire Class, and especially the members of the Annual Staff, feel that they have chosen one who has unselfishly given the best of his time, of his ability and of himself to the students of our high school. Knowing Air. Harris, has been an inspiration which each student will carry with him long after he has left Hardin High. It is in view of these things that the Class of 1925 respectfully dedicates this Annual to Mr. Harris as a token of their sincere regard.

And lo! this gathering was remarkable for two reasons. It marked the second year of the reign of the great, and supreme ruler, Harris, and the entrance of a noble group, called Freshmen. Yes, this noteworthy group had surmounted the obstacles of the grades for eight years. Great they now were, sixty-eight in number and with the aspirations of all Freshmen. And in this great temple of learning, the ruler spake these words, saying, “Thou shalt not break my commandments lest ye seek punishment.” Many things came to pass the Freshmen year under the guidance of Hansen and Kelhofer. The pupils were gathered together for both feasts of weiners and icecream, Hansen distributing the food amongst the ravenous. And the year thus ended after a procession through Hardin, led by Owen, the president. And before the passing of many months, again did they assemble to take up their second year of education, and were piloted by those called Ostergren and Lackey. In that year, did they make great names for themselves both in track and basket-ball. Yea, did Squire, also, with the aid of a noble Senior, win a pennant at the Great Falls Music Meet. And Cook, the president of that class, saith, “Let us have a party in the gym.” And they did so, and did play games and eat, and there was gathered up in fragments a half freezer of ice-cream. When it was come spring, there was planned a weiner roast, but on that day the clouds came, the rain descended, the winds blew, and great was the disappointment of the Sophomores. Hut the advisors saith unto them, “Let ye, who will, come to the gym and make merry.” And they did and great was the enjoyment of all. In the year One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty and Four did this same temple open wide its doors to the forty Juniors seeking knowledge. Now they were guided through paths of darkness by noble Ostergren, and verily, much was accomplished in that year. Many and wonderful were the honors bestowed upon the athletes of the group, namely, Rankin, Miller, Gilliland, and Graf, chiefly in basketball. But forget ye not the girls’ team. Hard was the work, and long were the hours spent in training that team which consisted mainly of Juniors. And it came to pass that “Dulcy” one great play was rendered at the Theatre. And amongst those who came to view it there was much joy. May the class honor those eleven students and the noble Jordan, their instructor. Kurzhals, Owen and Ransier did prove themselves worthy and were therefore sent to represent us at Bozeman. Also was the class represented at Butte city, there to enjoy and give music, whilst Roush didst debate at Big Timber. Even as this class labored and studied it found time for much joy and much pleasure in the form of candy-sales, dances and parties, directed by Ferguson, the president.

We believed in starting the year out properly, so we immediately elected Bob Miller, the most impish member of the class, President. The weighty office of Vice-President fell to Vilo Lewis. Money was scarce so we concluded that a very efficient person should handle the position of Secretary and Treasurer. James Sullivan carried this responsibility throughout the year. The class colors were blue and gold. A motto was a more difficult problem with which to cope, but the ingenious class turned out an appropriate one. “Green but Growing.” Mr. Disbrow and Miss Belknap were chosen class sponsors. The season was opened by a Hallowe’en Masquerade party which was very unique. Earl Watts acted as assistant Yell Leader throughout the basket hall season. Declamation time came and, needing the credit, the Freshmen turned out strong. Three managed to get into the final contest. Harriette Weir won second place and Gladys Ping won the trip to Missoula where she made the finals. When the school musicians went to the State Music Meet at Great Falls, Harry Huffman carried his clarinet under his arm and after serenading the judges for a few days came home with second place in the state. When we became Sophomores we dropped our childish ways and under the supervision of Miss Rachael Jordan have acquitted ourselves creditably. We have retained our motto and colors, but elected new officers. Dorothy Schneider was elected to act as president and Harry Huffman was chosen to act in her absence. Helen Ferguson was acclaimed Secretary-Treasurer and judging from the circles under her eyes, her duties are many. 'Flic Sophomores won the Big Horn Subscription contest. Earl Watts won the highest individual honors by selling twenty seven subscriptions, and was given a season ticket to the basket ball games as a reward. At the costume party given in our honor, Dorothy Schneider won a luscious lollipop for having the prettiest costume. At the opening of the basket ball season Sir Oliver Watts was chosen yell leader, with Eddie Larkin as assistant. In the realm of basket ball the Sophomore class has been represented by Jo St. John, Gladys Terrell, and Viola Miller on the girls’ team, and by Harry Huffman, who is a sub, on the boys’ team. The Sophomores also won first place in the Interclass Basket Ball Tournament. This year Hardin sent two Sophomores, Ed. Bullis and Harry Huffman, to the music meet. When the Glee Clubs made their debut this season Alberta Thompson acted the part of Yanki San. the heroine of the Operetta, and other Sophomores were given important parts.

Miss Russell and Miss Tuttle undertook the hazardous task of wrangling this lively delegation. The first thing accomplished was the branding of each with the H. H. S. spirit. Then they were turned into new but interesting pastures to browse among the rich traditions and become accustomed to the ways of the school. On September 17, the first class meeting was held. Winifred Sibley was chosen President. Hernia Logan, Vice-President and Thora Nelson, Secretary-Treasurer. Feeling that the range of learning was a bit too dry without a dessert of fun and frolic, the Freshmen decided to attend the High School Mixer held in the gym. As each band was required to put on a stunt for the entertainment and elevation of the other classes the Freshmen chose a circus parade as their stunt. This was both clever and original and proved to the upper classes that this latest addition to their band was certainly alive. Having been accustomed to the great outdoors, the spirits of the bunch drooped during the dreamy days of Indian summer, so on one of October’s brighest days they wandered into the Valley called “Thompson’s Grove” and to the music of the flowing Big Horn partook of weiners roasted by a glowing camp fire. Here they could live again the carefree hours they had known before entering the H. H. S. range. Later in the fall the Sophomores won in the subscription contest for the Big Horn and were given a costume party. The Freshmen carried out the idea usually associated with Freshmen by wearing and acting green. Various members of the class have distinguished themselves in the activities of the school. Ray Buzzetti made first Basket Ball team which is an honor not usually won by first year men. Herma Logan won first prize in the American Flag essay contest. A number of Freshmen enrolled in the Current History class wrote in the Abraham Lincoln essay contest. Don Huffman and Harvey Wilcutt represent the Freshmen in the band, while Richard Walker, Francis Crosby, Howard Baker and Evan Gustafson carry the Freshmen Colors in the Boys Glee Club. Ruth Walker, Winifred Sibley, Eunice Campbell, Marion Brekke. Frances Ewing, Lela Johnson, Herma Logan, Mary Reichel, Rubie Barnes, Nellie Benson, Josephine Ebeling and Margaret Kurzhals are very valuable additions to the Girls’ Glee Club. The class showed its fighting spirit in the inter-class Basket Ball tournament winning third place.

The nursery of Hardin High School was never more prosperous. Several inmates, during the past year, have cut their teeth and donned long pants. One boy, only, has felt the thrill of a sprouting lip thatch. The future of Hardin High lies with this department and it is perfectly proper that we be well provided for. The watchful eye of the principal is constantly upon us; for if he can start the “Kids” in the straight and narrow path he will not have the sad experience which he has had with the higher “class-men.” We have a good start and are slowly propelling our organization up curriculum hill. Margaret Ping, Ruth Gillette, Stanley Herman, Louis Funston, Louise Benson and Doris Vickers are high joint students of the class. Violet Mayo won third place in the American Legion Essay Contest. John Helwick is the tallest member of the class and Frank Ewing the shortest. Garold Fish holds the avoirdupois record, and Dorr Huffman holds the record for silence. 40 TT PI E 1Q2 3 Grade School Department DISTRICT 17-H—SOME SIDELIGHTS District 17-H, with its population of mixed origin, race, and occupation, with its pioneering spirit and zeal for well-made future, is regarded as being in a real sense itself a great 12 year common school, made up of a variety of school units. By virtue of its being one big administrative and tax unit it offers extraordinary equality in school opportunity and tax burden throughout a section larger than the state of Rhode Island; provides supervision such as cities enjoy; stimulates breadth of vision and cooperativeness in pupils, teachers, and patrons; and promotes a high level of social and economic development. The District Meet is the great event of the school year to children. I hen pupils and patrons assemble from all parts of the district and make new friendships while they are cultivating old friendships. The contests, which include nearly every subject of study as well as athletics, help to keep pupils and teachers on their toes during the whole year. The high school students and teachers participate as hosts and officials. The school papers, the school bands and orchestras, the Smith-Hughes agriculture work, the circulating library, the district commencement and track meet are regarded as essential activities of the district as a whole. One of the most interesting recent developments of District 17-H is a somewhat experimental unit called the “Middle School,” comprising the fifth, sixth and seventh grades of Hardin through which certain methods of education are demonstrated and various benefits made available to other parts of the district system. Tlu Middle School Directed study, mutual aid, homogeneous grouping, individual variation, pupil responsibility, and the library-laboratory method are featured in Hardin’s Middle School. There arc five subject rooms, each equipped with grouped desks or tables and with books and other material appropriate to the subject. Each grade is divided into five sub-groups, classified according to standard tests and the estimates of the five teachers. As extremes do best in small groups, the number of children in a sub-group varies from five to twelve. All classification is tentative and fluid, children passing readily at any time from one group to another. These are study gangs, largely self-directed, not social or intellectual stratifications at all. In such gangs, or teams, the children attack their studies in periods of about forty-five minutes daily, 235 in the aggregate. During the remaining 125 minutes they work in larger divisions in which the sub-group lines are disregarded, at activities which call for a variety of leadership and initiative, as follows: play and gymnastics under elected pupil leaders, 30 minutes; citizenship period with home teacher, 15; a free period in home room, 20; a program period, 45; vocal music, 15. Occasionally part or all of the classes are combined for assembly. 41 T' T-I E Student Council—Twelve members elected by the children to serve three months, six terms expire every six weeks. The following- have served as officers this year: Chairman: Foster Oliver, Cece'.ia Larkin. Fllene Long. Vice Chairman: John Plummer. Secretary: Byron Duncan. Catherine Reno. In the directed study periods outlines are followed which are furnished every pupil in mineographed form. Individual pupils arc given the help they need as they need it. Co-operative projects are featured. All must do the minimum required by the course of study but the stronger groups do progressively more. Thus every child has a full load. In a small group of similar abilities any child can “star,” relatively, at times, thus being assured of that indispensable stimulation which comes from con-ciousness of ability to excel. The weekly program period in each subject is usually a culmination of the week’s work in that subject. At that time pupils present for the consideration of their peers their findings in the project upon which they have been engaged the preceding week. Superficial thinking is thus discouraged and careful deliberation is encouraged. Good English clubs, Geographic societies, and the like, plan and carry out a good part of these programs. 42 nr 14 e Rnglish Composition Room, showing Junior Tribune Staff at two tables to the right, and sections of the sixtli grade.

I bus does the pupil daily grow in citizenship in the American democracy. 43 THE Self-DireCted Athletic Squads The playground is one of the most fertile fields for the physical and moral growth essential to democratic citizenship. For five years a grouping plan in athletics, similar to the grouping for study, which assures all children an equal chance for athletic development and distinction, has been in operation. Children are classified for athletics in ten divisions, or squads, according to physical prowess as indicated by a combination of ratings in age, height, and weight. Each squad elects a squad leader and an assistant. These officials direct their members in running, jumping, rope climbing, wrestling, chinning, combination dip and bod)’ lifting and keep their records. The best performers in each squad are entered in the appropriate events in the district meet. Both in daily practice and in annual meets the pupils carry this work through with remarkable orderliness and efficiency. The present squad leaders are: Squ ad Leader Girls Assistant Jr. A.

The main part of the Association’s business is carried on by the Student Council, a representative body of students chosen by the different organizations of the school. The Council meets twice a month to further their citizenship program by discussing ways and means for getting students interested in school and school activities. All problems of general interest are put before the entire student body to be voted on. Much constructive work has been done by the Association and its Council. The following students have been honored by the presidency of the Association: Verne Robinson, Arthur Gladden, Neil Janney and John Rankin. 48 The Big Horn Staff Mr. Harris Wort Miller Rankin Funston Miss Jordan Ast’e Rankin Strand Spoolstra Jordan THE BIG HORN What’s a high school without a paper? Someone in the not very long ago had a happy thought and called the Hardin High School paper “The Big Horn.” This was six years ago when Superintendent Logan came to Hardin to put the schools of District 17H. on the map. The paper ran fcr three years with many ups and downs. At the end of that time it was thought too expensive to continue the project. For a period of a year and a half “The Big Horn’’ was silent. Then an opportunity came for the Student’s Association to buy a printing outfit. They were not slow to close the deal. 'Fhe school paper is now being printed regularly on the school press. This is a real project from which a number of students acquire much valuable experience. A regular staff elected by the student body has complete control. 49 'THE 1025 Boys at work in Students' Print Shop THE SCHOOL STORE This department of the high school was established at the beginning of the 1923 school year. It has for its purpose, primarily, the furthering of actual business practices of the students of the Commercial Department, who elect the officers to manage the store. A board of directors, consisting of eight students, is appointed by the president of the organization to direct the students working in the store and to purchase supplies. Mr. Ostergren is the only one of the school who is displeased with the store. He makes the statement that Hardin’s superiority in track has been due to the fact that the students were forced to walk half a mile every time they wanted to purchase a lead pencil or a pen point. Since the advent of the store they do not get this much needed exercise, for they have to go only to the west end of the lower hall. This may be bad for the track men but it is a great time and money saver for all the students. (Continued on page 70) 50 MUSIC DEPARTMENT W. J. Denman, Director 51 TTI-IE Music in Education M usic has been taught in the public schools for more than a half century, during which time much progress has been made. In the early stages of music teaching, many very crude and indistinct methods were used, and only to the extent of vocal teaching. Today, music is being taught in the public schools in every form, namely: vocal, instrumental, theoretical, orchestra and band. Each year it is growing more and more difficult to find an unmusical child in the public schools. It is only a matter of time when every child will be a musical child. Practically everybody looks upon music as an absolute essential. It is a language even greater than that with which we speak— a language of self-expression. It is used in the home, on the street, in the church, theatre, concert hall—in fact everywhere that people congregate. If we are to learn to enjoy the good things in music, we must learn music. In everyday life it is the purpose of music to aid us to express in sound our fee ings of joy and sorrow with the satisfaction that is not found in other forms of expression. This satisfaction is received through singing or the playing of an instrument, or by listening to music performed bv others which brings forth our own feelings. Nearly all arc capable of some expression and enjoyment in singing, and all are capable of much enjoyment from listening. In this new era of educational service, music is indeed worthy of foremost rank. It is absolutely a fundamental basis in the scheme of public education that aims to make each child an intelligent, useful, and law-abiding citizen. Intelligent, that he may think and act wisely both in private and in public matter; useful, that he may serve his fellow-men; and law-abiding that he may receive the greatest good and happiness through living. As a mind trainer and trainer of discipline, there is not a more valuable subject in the curriculum. Music develops hand, head and heart—body, mind and soul, and is done more effectively than through any other kind of activity. With minds elevated to higher thoughts, the wonderful inspiring force of music will lead to a regeneration of the race along greater and nobler lines. The mind that is saturated with the best music has but little space for unworthy, degrading thoughts. It naturally turns toward higher things and that is perhaps the great advantage of the best music, whether it comes to you through the great symphony concert, from the point of a phonograph needle, from the voice of prima donna, or from the audion of the radio—it is Music. Let us study and learn to enjoy and appreciate the greater things of life that are conveyed to us through this great and noble art, MUSIC. 52 'THE THE BAND The Hardin School Band was organized in the fall of 1920. It is open to all students of the high school and grades and the alumni of the high school. It offers a splendid opportunity for boys who are musically inclined as no expense is incurred by the students and even some of the instruments are furnished. Playing in the band means much wholesome enjoyment to the student during his high school career and may prove of great value as a financial aid in college as musicians are always in demand. The band is looking forward to a trip to the Midland Empire Fair next fall, New uniforms, consisting of blue coats with white trousers and caps have been purchased. Many concerts have been given in Hardin and the nearby communities. The band is looking forward to atrip to the Midland Empire Fair next fall, and is hoping to be able to represent Hardin Hi at the State Music Meet. The personnel of the band is as follows: cornet, Edward Larkin, Kenneth Kephart, Melvin Cook, William Corkins, Russell Peterson, Leslie Fischbach; clarinet, Harry Huffman, James Sullivan, Everett Dunham; piccolo, Harvey Wilcutt; horns, Arthur Strand, Edwin Astle, Robert Roush; saxaphones, Melvin Gay, Robert Ross, Edwin Bullis, Howard Wham; trombones, Edwin Sullivan, Vincent Fischbach; basses, Dwight Ferguson, Paul Gilliland; drum, John Brennan, Don Huffman.

Miss Lura Prest followed Miss Cory as instructor. The organization worked hard and accomplished much during this year. Lula Clark entered the State Music Meet as soloist; Burdette Squire and Vivian Lewis in the piano duet, and Dorothy Kelley, Burdette Squire and Lula Clark in the vocal trio. The year 1924-25 opened under the direction of Mr. Denman with about fifty girls enrolled. New books were purchased and the work continued with renewed vigor. 'Pile girls have made several public appearances during the present school year, the most notable occasions being the Armistice Day celebration conducted by the American Legion at the Harriet Theatre, and the Operetta, “Yanki San.” Several of the individual members have distinguished themselves in solo and quartet work. 54 Crosby Baker Kephart Wham Gay Watts Mil'.er Huffman Kewls Corkins Rankin Gustafson Walker Jordan Ross Wilson Meeke Miller Miller Mans Buzzetti Denman Bullis Ferguson Sullivan Larkin BOYS’ GLEE CLUB “I Wonder What’s Become of That Old Gang of Mine” that met “In the Gloaming” of ‘‘Long, Long Ago” “On the High School Steps” under the “Stars of a Summer Night” and sang “Southern Melodies.” “When Shall We Meet Again?” On Glee Club days, from the south-east corner of the buliding, sweet strains of harmony, coming from twenty male throats, float softly to listening ears. Professor W. J. Denman is coaching his Boys’ Glee Club, aided by Miss Burdette Squire at the piano. The Glee Club received a poor start this year, only twelve boys having signed up at the third meeting. Later, more boys hearing of the excellent music, the number was swelled to its present size. During the course of the winter the Club appeared before the Assembly several times, but because of the study of harmony instead of regular Glee Club singing, no further public singing has been done. Several of the boys from the Club were prominent in the High School Operetta “Yanki San.” Those taking the more important parts were Edward Sullivan, Earl Watts, Melvin Gay and Howard Wham. 55 YANKIfSAN Cast of Characters Yanki San, the Princess - - Alberta Thompson San Fan, Maid of Yanki San - - Irene Buzzetti Six other Maids:—Dorothy Kelley, Jessie Wolfe, Grace Spool-stra, Winifred Sibley, Eleanor Ransicr, Gladys Ping Sisters of Yanki San:—Alice Earsley, Clara Johnson, Juanita Fish, Geneva McGiboney, Charlotte Janncy, Winifred Campbell, Jennie Meeke - - Edward Larkin - Annabellc Johnson Melvin Gay Earl Watts, Howard Baker Prince Toto Princess, Mother of Yanki San High Chancellor Ambassadors:—Edwin Bullis, Evan Gustafson Prince Oto Prince Ton Ton Howard Wham Edward Sullivan Frances Ewing Helen Melville Margaret Kurzhals Marion Brekke Ruth Walker Frances Scanlan Lois Crosby Chorus Inza McDowell Eunice Campbell Mildred Gustafson Anna Heller Hazel Terrell Josephine Ebeling Gladys Terrell Herma Logan Florence Beall Luceille Meilke Elizabeth McQueen Nellie Benson Lela Johnson Ninnie Longacre 56 •More than a hundred pupils In the Hardin public schools arc receiving instruction in instrumental music. The most elaborate production ever given by the Hardin High School was the operetta, Yanki San, given by the combined girls’ and boys’ Glee Clubs under the direction of Mr. Denman and Miss Taber. The setting of the operetta was a Japanese cherry garden in full bloom, lighted by many Jananese lanterns. The scenery was made by the girls, who made thousands of wisteria and cherry blossoms, and the Manual training department, who furnished the lattice work. The color harmony was carefully worked out in the beautiful Japanese costumes made and worn by the girls and the elaborate costumes rented for the boys. The production was a success in evert' way and reflects much credit on our splendid Music Department. 57 Back Row—Edwin Bui is. Edward Sullivan, Burdette Squire, Herman Miller.

Hardin High sent a talented delegation under the direction of Mr. Denman. All reported a splendid trip having found much enjoyment in the hospitality afforded them and much inspiration in the musical programs. Herman Miller and Edwin Bullis entered in piano duet, Burdette Squire in piano solo, Harry Huffman in clarinet solo, Edward Sullivan in trombone solo, and Annabelle Johnson. Irene Buzzetti, Jessie Wolfe and Dorothy Kelley in girls quartette. Our contestants won in two events, Harry Huffman taking second place in the clarinet solo and Edward Sullivan second in the trombone solo. 58 tthiz: DEBATE The debate season opened with twenty-four signed up. Half of these dropped out before the real business began. The question was: “Resolved, that the United States become a member of the Permanent International Court of Justice.” This question is much discussed and debated at the present time by Congress and by people who are interested in International affairs. After two months’ work, aided by Miss Jordan, we had preliminary debates ready. This work consisted of reading about the question and making notes and outlines. The preliminaries were held before the assembly. From this emerged six to continue the work: Earl Watts, Jark Jordan, Edwin Bullis, Fred Roush, Edwin Astle and Dorothy Herman. The members of this squad made practice speeches before the Men’s Forum Club of the Congregational Church, and the Hardin Woman’s Club. Billings sent Frank Mann, Henry Hough and Harriet Thompson down to meet us but they were defeated. Dr. J. H. Underwood was the judge. Although we were defeated in our next debate, with Big Timber, it was the more enjoyable and the better debate of the two. We were greatly disappointed in the result because we hoped to be able to go to Missoula. The Big Timber people gave us a fine entertainment which greatly increased the enjoyment of the trip. Two of the three debators on the first team will be in school next year and with hard work ought to produce one of the best teams in the state. 59 'THE BIG DECLAMATION One of the events of the school year which is growing very rapidly is the Declamatory contest. Each year the number of contestants increases and the interest on the part of the citizens grows. I he number of entrants this year was twenty-one, which is the largest number ever taking part. A preliminary contest was held in the High School Gym and ten of the best speakers were chosen to take part in the final contest. The finals were held in the H. S. auditorium and open to the public, the judges were members of the Worden H. S. faculty. The contestants were: Fred Roush, Dorothy Kelley, Alberta Thompson, Elizabeth McQueen, Thora Nelson, Erlise Ferguson, Gladys Ping, Earl Watts, Nellie Henson, Patricia Knowles. The three persons who were awarded places are as follows: Nellie Henson, third; Patricia Knowles, second; and Gladys Ping, first. Gladys won first last year also, and will again take part in the contest at Missoula. 60 '‘Adam and Eva James King, a rich man Corinthia, his parlor maid Clinton DeWitt, his son-in-law Julie DeWitt, his eldest daughter Eva King, his youngest daughter Aunt Abby Rocker, his sister-in-law Dr. Jack Delamater, his neighbor Horace Pilgrim, his uncle -Adam Smith, his business manager Lord Andrew Gordon, his would-be son-in-law The members of the class of ’25, under the direction of Miss Jordan, again demonstrated their dramatic ability by producing, on May first, “Adam and Eva. Each member of the cast was especially well suited to his part, and the play was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience. Hardin High School greatly appreciates the spirit shown by the Hardin people in the way they boost all school enterprises, especially the dramatic productions.

All of the members of the cast played their parts well and much credit is due them. The following people are also greatly responsible for the success of the play: Burdette Squire, Eleanor Ransier, costume managers, and Howard Wham, Paul Gilliland, property managers. 62 63 Coach Ostkrgren 64 Grar Buzzetti Coach Ostergren Miller Buzzetti Huffman Gilliland Ross Rankin Rankin BASKETBALL The call of Basket Ball echoed through the halls of our High School on November First. This was a great moment for every one. It sent thrills of expectation and excitement through all of us for we wondered who would be chosen to uphold the honor and the standard of H. H. S. A large number answered the Coach’s call for men. The men who were eventually to make a winning team were put into squads according to their ability and previous training. The personnel of these squads was changed as the men improved in skill. Each was given his chance to prove his ability and a chance to win a place on the first team, as the first team was not definitely chosen until after the third game of the season. 65 THE The work was slow, as the coach trained his men thoroughly right from the start in all of the rudiments of the game. Then came the study of the finer points of the game and the perfection in fast playing and team form. The work became harder and the training more and more strict as the team developed. Their wonderful accuracy and team work was readily shown in the way they defeated one after another of their opponents on the way to a championship. The members of the team were all good, clean sportsmen, and whether winning or losing always kept their spirits high. The team is indebted to the “subs” and second team for their strong, hard, and steady support. The second squad contributed much to the making of the strong first team of which we are so proud. This year’s team has developed into the fastest, strongest, and most successful team ever put out by Hardin High. This is Coach Ostergrcn’s fourth year at Hardin and through this period he has developed each year a stronger, faster and more successful team. Much honor and credit is due him for his efforts. Hardin went to the tournament after two defeats but with the fighting spirit that is a characteristic of the school. The spirit has won us the high esteem of every school we have played. We went to win the first place cup, but through the defeat by Billings we were forced to be satisfied with the second banner. However, we won one honor that is of great value to every member of the team and also the school, and that is the Sportsmanship medal won by Robert Ross. “Bobbie” has been a real sportsman all through his four years of High School Basket Ball, and is known all over the state as such. Our team went to Bozeman to play for the State Championship, but was eliminated early in the Tournament. Through the entire season we out-played our opponents with an average of 23 1 7 points against 13 1 23 points per game. Class Basket Ball also created a great deal of interest this year. The interclass tournament has, every year, been won by the Seniors, but this year so many of the Senior boys were on the first team that it was impossible to organize a class team. The Sophomores took the school honors.

They had no coach and only two of last year’s team were again in school. After much persuasion Mr. Winslow consented to undertake the difficult task of coaching and Miss Taber the task of advisor. The girls were put through a series of strenuous workouts; each was given a chance to prove her ability and thereby make the first team. Carlyle St. John was chosen captain and a team was selected. Both coach and girls worked hard and derived much wholesome enjoyment from the sport as we'l as a great deal of good physical training. Although the girls team was not in the championship class as far as the winning of games was concerned, it ranked very high in the realm of clean hard playing and good sportsmanship.

Boys living on farms near town furnish teams and wagons and the cinders arc hauled from the railroad yards. Cleaning up the sturdy growth of weeds on the straight-away course furnished good development of muscles for those who expect to work on farms during the summer. Interest in Track work in Hardin High has been increasing veat by year and in the turnout for 1925 the highest point was reached. Thirty-five boys have reported and it is expected that nearly all of the school records will be broken before the end of the season. Plans are being forwarded to make the meet with Sheridan an annual event. This helps to foster the feeling of good fellowship that exists between the two schools, and such an event should produce a keener interest in track work as Sheridan have proved themselves worthy ooponents. The increasing interest in this branch of sport in Hardin is due largely to the efforts of Coach Ostergren, who has worked hard to produce a first class team and who has helped the boys by his interest in them as well as in the sport. 'ITe meet with Sheridan has been arranged through his effort. In the inter-class meet, held Thursday, April 30, the Juniors were victorious, scoring 64% points, the Sophomores second with 32 points, the Seniors third with 29% and the Freshmen fourth with 5. Paul Gilliland was high point man with 20 points to his credit; John Rankin second with 15 and Edwin Miller, third with 14. The 440-yard dash record was broken by John Rankin and the high jump by Edwin Miller. Winners of the events in the inter-class meet were: 50-vard dash, Eddie Larkin; 120-yard high hurdles, Edwin Miller; 100-yard dash.

You who have seen kings rise and fall, And cities built to decay with time. Oh, that the things which you may know Might here he told in simple rhyme! Years upon years you have watched Over that silver stream below, And long have you heard the music Of its rushing, bubbling flow, Which is ever so much more beautiful Than that of the skill of art; That song which shall never be sung, Except in the cords of the heart. The murmuring slender spruce trees That reflect the light of the stream, That equal the stars in their brightness, That steal from the moon its beam, Have long to you whispered their secrets, And you remember them all; Will you ever tell us their story Ere down to earth they shall fall? Will you tell us of life the beginning, Of the time when man first had begun Those never ceasing struggles Which you have seen, every one ? Oh, that you could break your silence, And to the world might tell, Of the secrets of life eternal And of unceasing Hell. Howard Wham—Class of 1925 69 T WE [ YE JUXIOR CLASS IIISTORY (Continued from rage 29) And after the winter had passed there was gathered together a multitude for the Junior-Senior Banquet, and great was the appreciation bestowed upon the Juniors. Verily this period of instruction had proven beneficial. Before the passing of many months again will these worthy ones gather to begin their great Senior Journey. Watch ye therefore the results. CLASS OF ’27 (Continued from page 33) Out of the six debaters who won places in the final contest three, Earl Watts, Edwin Bullis and Dorothy Herman, were Sophomores. Dorothy Herman received a letter for debating against Billings and Big Timber. Two of the three boys who went to Bozeman on the stock judging team, Eddie Larkin and Johnnie Brennan, were Sophomores. On March twentieth the Sophomores staged a “kid’s party” which will go down in history. For who will every forget that much cake and many sandwiches were stolen by the upper classmen that eventful night. Watch us next year and we’ll show you what we can do. We may have a good record as Sophomores, but just imagine if you can what we may do in another year. FRESHMAX CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Pape 27) After a winter of dry feed, the coming of spring with its green grass brought a new thrill of excitement to the herd and in order to give expression to this excess energy they decided that a party in th old H. H. S. corral was the proper thing, so during the first week in March the whole herd stampeded to the gym and enjoyed many games and much frolic, while another herd from a nearby plain wandered in and devoured the greater part of the good grub. 1 he girls of this crowd had for some time been wandering in the rich fields of Home Economics and demonstrated this newly acquired ability in cooking by preparing and serving the Junior-Senior Banquet. Now at last after nine and one-half months in and about old H. H. S. they are once more turned out to roam the great out-of-doors for three long months. THE SCHOOL STORE (Continued from Page 50) The store at the high school was such a success that in the fall of 1924 a branch was established at the grade school. Grade school students were placed in charge. I hey manage the store in cooperation with the high school store officers and are taught a simple method of bookkeeping. Phis gives them an idea of commercial studies and a foundation for high school. The store is a valuable addition to the commercial department as it teaches both by experience and bv books. Also it gives the pupil the spirit of cooperation and of cooperative management, one of the new fields now open to forward-looking students. 70 H. H. S.

Vague whispers were heard; not a culprit was seen; Wild chaos was rampant; it recked no ideal For minions of Hades seemed reeking their spleen. There was fear in the breasts of the gallant young Sophomores, As they fastened each window and bolted each door Of the Home Ec. Department where they stored the refreshments, Ere they joined in the mirth on the gymnasium floor. They had heard on the streets that a raid was impending. They had heard a tall junior make mention of keys— Yet they entered the hall with glad faces, pretending. That their minds were all free from such rumors as these. The Freshmen they argued would be in their blankets. The Juniors, they feared, might prowl about now; The Seniors they “knew” would be home grimly toiling; Their culture enriching by contracting their brow. There's a noise in the hall-w'ay; How ghost like—how awful! An umbrage unnatural darkens the hall. They have entered the school house, (such things are unlawful) While the direst of echoes resound over all. A Satanic influence broods o’er the actors. Impelling them on to their impish design. The eats are discovered, ’Tis the prize which they covet. Like a flash they have vanished; they have recrossed the line. To the Sophs all is quiet. Nay! what dire agression Has wrested the Morpheon Scepter from night! Tis a throng of the Juniors, in mob like procession. With the cakes, pies, and “goodies” they are making their flight. In assembly a silence, a word calmly spoken. A blush on the face of a Junior or two. The principal’s office, the dread silence broken: The rest is a secret, we can’t tell to you— —By (One who was there.) 79 102 3 Junior Banquet and Prom The ninth annual banquet given by the juniors in honor of the graduating class was given in the gymnasium on Thursday evening, May seventh, at seven o’clock. The decoration and table committees had done their work well, for seldom is so attractive a banquet hall seen. The ceiling and walls were covered with festoons of green and white, the Senior class colors, fragrant branches of blossoming choke-cherry, service berry and wild plum were placed along the wainscoating molding above the bleachers, and tHe bleachers themselves were covered with gay-colored Indian blankets. I he snowy lengths of the banquet tables, which were arranged in a square, were brightened by nut cups made in the shape and colors of tulips. Streamers of green and white led from the banquet tables to a center table within the square upon which a great bowl of bright red tulips was placed. The program and menu cards were decorated with a typical Holland scene, a windmill and a Dutch boy and girl. The waitresses, members of the first year cooking class, wore Dutch costumes of white and green. The dinner was delicious. The fruit cocktail was followed by creamed chicken in timbals, mashed potatoes with peas, Parker House rolls and strawberry jam, and combination salad. Dessert consisted of green and white brick ice cream, angel cake, coffee, salted almonds and mints. Mr. Harris, who acted as Toastmaster, did much to create an air of happy informality. He introduced as first speaker. Dwight Ferguson, the Junior class president. who welcomed the guests of the evening in behalf of his class; Arthur Strand, the Senior class president, replied to the address of welcome. The remaining part of the banquet program contained a saxaphone solo by Melven Gay accompanied on the piano by Velda Yocst; toast, “Spring Fever by Miss Jordan; “May Dreams” by Kathaleen Owen; “Wooden Shoes” by Ada Wort; “Would Be’s” by Mr. Logan; “Noise versus Music” by Mr. Denman; “The Goal” by Bobbie Ross; and a harp solo by Burdette Squire. The banquet was characterized by a spirit of jollity and friendly witticisms at the expense of several amiable persons present. At the close of the program each person was presented with a red tulip as a favor. And every one departed after congratulating all of those to whom credit was due for the pleasure of the evening but especially, Miss Taber, who planned and directed the dinner. Mr. Harris, who made an excellent toastmaster, Mr. Ostergrcn, the Junior sponsor, and Dwight Ferguson, the hard working Junior president. The next evening the Juniors again entertained the Seniors, this time at another of the most important social functions of the year, the Prom. Punch was served by the Freshman girls and a program of twenty-two dances was enjoyed. The Juniors may well be proud of their success as hosts and the Seniors happy at being so honored. 80 our cMnnual is our Annual It is with pardonable pride we call attention to the fact this book is from our press.

However we must admit that it is never in war but always in peace. We are deeply indebted to this little letter since it is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there would be no meat, no life, and no heaven.
