THE 19 2 7 lllllllll•llllllllll BIG HORN To the Builders of This Book—Greetings: The young men and women of the world have always been the greatest factor in the cause of human progress. Through them human thought is being enfranchised and human conscience is being freed. The work of the world is largely in the hands of the younger people. They are virtually alchemists who are taking the materials round about them and changing them into creations of beauty, significance, and value. Architects and engineers transmute cave shelters into palaces, and energy into power; merchants change need into satisfaction; poets and composers weave sounds into harmonies; scientists resolve facts into laws; statesmen and warriors make danger and chaos into peace and order; philosophers and prophets turn wonder and desire into understanding and purpose. Only as one is engaged in this process does he really live, “All else is being flung away. It is gratifying to know that you who have made this book have affiliated yourselves with the workers of the world; that you have joined, with high purpose, the youthful alchemists whose later work and accomplishments will bring joy and peace and happiness to the whole world. Very sincerely yours, George M. Harris I {1 i i i II | i i! 1!

THE 19 2 7 % BIG HORN IMItlllllMHIMI SENIOR CLASS POEM, 1927 There is a sacred story of the East How once, when kingdoms were still young, a prince was born to India’s throne; The king, with fond heart, hoped his son would know the power he had known. And wear the crown when his own reign had ceased. But as the little prince to manhood grew, His thoughts were not on kingdoms distant lure or marshalled armies’ might; Instead he looked upon the sad and poor, and wondered at the sight Of so much suffering ’neath heaven’s blue. The old King mocked his anxious questioning And built a palace, fair with sandal wood and walls of pearl and gold. And brought within delights and treasures that would his affections hold, And left without all trace of suffering. For all about the palace, walls were run IVith gates of triple brass which no one might undo by night or day: And guards were set with orders from the King that none should pass that way. Not even should it be the king’s own son. So for a time the prince lived happily And in his wealth of love and peace forgot the zvorld outside the gate: Till subtly hints of death, of pain, of toilers fainting 'neath their weight Stole in to make him ponder wistfully. Thus in his prison palace year by year The young prince thought and dreamed and felt within his being spring A strange new power, a wondrous god-like gift to help the suffering, A high command, that bade him go, nor fear. At last he knew he must no longer wait— ’Twas night when he set forth, and all the palace lay in sleep secure; He sought his noble, snow-white steed, whereon his flight was sure, And rode with eager heart up to the gate. And lo, the guards were sleeping heavily; The gates which ne’er gave way save with the clang of grating hinge and bar; Swung softly open, touched by spirits of the air whose duties are To give willing souls their liberty. And all the lilies for his sake unfurled. And every star in heaven sent down streams of new, hope giving light; To guide the young prince as he passed beyond the gates into the night, To bring new joy and gladness to the world. H e stand today before the world’s great gate, For childhood's happy morning path has led nearly to the noon. Behind us carefree voices sound from flowery fields passed over soon, Beyond, the workers of the world await. Our hearts beat fast with the strong hope of Youth; The saner thoughts of age not yet have dimmed ambition’s first bright fire And best of all, on a more sacred altar burns the fair desire. To learn through service of the Greater Truth. IS 1! I! I z ’ I l! 1 ■ i i What may not youth with his high purpose dare? Id'hat bound is set, what straining limit placed to that he might achieve: If only in his burning dreams he will with steadfast heart believe And act his purposes, and live his prayer? For hearken what the dreams of youth have done i i They've pierced the clouds and heard the voices of the seven thunders speak; 111 They’ve delved the depths and brought up pearls, smoothed out the mountain’s tow- ||f ering peak, I. | And raised the valley treasures to the sun. And more, they’ve met the giant Suffering, And wrested from him half his old time power and set the prisoners free, And joined with pulsing threads those separated far as sea from sea, And made the deserts yield their blossoming. Yet there are those who would have us restrained: These dreams are old as life, as young as youth,” with scornful lips they say. These gates have opened many times for such as you to go thiir way Who vainly hope to reach the unattained. We heed them not, already we have caught The throbbing notes of that great symphony which rises up to heaven From worker’s hearts—their worship but their service freely given. Their psalm, a melody which is toil-wrought. We are the strong; it is to us they plead. 'Tis the world’s youth must sing the notes of strength, of glad, triumphant power. Breathe vital harmony upon the deadly discords of the hour, And look on places time had rendered dear. This is our mission, and the time is near When we go forth, yet as the young prince paused ivitli tearful gaze, (Although his purpose wavered not) to think again on sweet, past days. And look on places time had rendere ddear. So we pause now, the bright dreams half forgot The present with its pain of parting shutting out the future quite, To say farewell to those old halls, and every dear familiar sight, Each bringing its own sadness with its thought. And now for us the gate is opening fast. And each to each must say the last farewell before the ways divide,— Each pledge to each, that love and loyalty will in our hearts abide, Before the waiting portals have been passed. We’ve known the comradeship of work and play With common aim, we’ve shared each other’s disappointments and success; And now this happy fellowship which has been wont each day to bless Is laid with other memories away. � • When twilight lengthens into gladsome dawn. May we pass through with hearts as young as on this day and hopes as fair, May we pass through with love increased and Faith unshaken by life’s care, To meet and work together farther on. 19 ; : i V Thompson Larkin H.

In 1923 was come to that Hardin High School some three and forty in a company, in fellowship and pilgrims were they alle, that toward the land of knowledge would ride. A president there was and that a worthy knight, Sir Robert Miller, who loved chivalrye and evermore we had a yell leader, Earl Watts whose smile was full simple and coy. With them there was a nice young squire, Harry Huffman who won second place in the state contest because he played his clarinet like a young nightingale. A young declaimer was cleped Gladys Ping. Full well she spoke the piece divine and represented Hardin at Missoula. So ended the first lap of the pilgrimage. In 1924 four and forty pilgrims were on this journey. Dotty Schneider was the fair priestess who ruled; Miss Jordan the prioress, her small houndes fed with inspirations and knowledge. And when the sunny days had passed the Big Horn subscription contest was won by the worthy and devout pilgrims in honour of which an all-hi party was given by the bigger company. Earl Watts of the coy and simple smile again was yell leader with Eddie Larkin him to help support Squire Huffman as sub on the basketball team. With their great spirit the class team conquered heathens by winning interclass basketball championship. Alberta Thompson with mouth there to soft and rede was princess in Yanki San. Dorothy Herman, Ed. Bullis and Sir Oliver with their line of chatter were placed on the debate team of the school. The cows at Bozeman full fair were judged by Edward Larkin and John Brennan. A better envied group was no where known than when this pilgrimage staged the kid party. Again the one cleped Gladys Ping well sat her hoars and fair rode to Missoula as a declaimer. There was full many a marriage of youngwomen at this next stop half way to destination Knowledge. After drinking at the well of Bath the Company again moved on four and forty strong with Asbury and Jordan of great strength as delivers and Vilo Lewis riding ahead to lead them on. After steady traveling the pilgrimage stopped to amuse the unfortunate ones- with grand opera “Frost” which was again repeated at the party of the professional guides of the shire. The pilgrimage recognizing their stability again choose Earl Watts and Eddie Larkin as yell leaders. J. J. Sullivan so well could pictures make that he was chosen as school cartoonist. Clerks there were in Student’s store also, and those were Sullivan and Lewis. There were four companions, prioresses fair, chosen to go to Girls’ Vocational Congress, Ferguson, Herman, Schneider, and McQueen. At the services divine of Junior class play was given “All-of-a-Sudden Peggy.” Overcoming slight opposition the pilgrims again traveled on with interclass basketball championship. Weary travelers held amusement high and noble in a Hicks’ fair. Sir Oliver, Frere Bullis, Erlise Ferguson, the nun so fair; Alberta Thompson, ful plesant; Eleanor Sawyer that slepen all the night with opene eye; and Dorothy Herman who in fellowship well could laugh and carpe placed on debate league. Squire Huffman with his nightingale clarinet won first place in state, and with his stature of even length and grete strength played on Hi team and made all-state guard. Naomi played the gat-toothed dame; and Erlise Ferguson, wroth was she in the all-hi play “Icebound.” To show their progress in pursuit of knowledge Weir, Sullivan and Ferguson, captured first, second, and third in typing in scholarship contest, and Bullis with 28 THE BIG HORN IHIIIIMIMMIIinillllllllllllMIIIHIMIIIIMIIIIHIIIIIIMMIMIIMIIIMMIIMIMIMHMHIIIIIIIIIIIiailllllllllll SENIOR HISTORY (Continued) brain so quick won second in bookkeeping. And not unlike Brennan and Larkin, Benson won a trip to Bozeman. Dorothy Herman, the gabbing star represented Hardin and ’27 at Billings in extemporaneous speaking contest. Dot Schneider a good woman of religion there was, who won the Big Horn subscription contest. Knowles a good felawe; Naomi a parish pride; Weir, the love lorn maiden; she who was cleped Gladys Ping; Elizabeth McQueen of the diocevse; spoke full loud and were in declam finals. The men of great strength proved their prowess over common folk by pulling thru the muck and mire of tug-of-war the class of ’26. Before stopping their last stop before Knowlege Center, they who had that art of the old Dauge entertained the girls with taffeta and with sandal, and the boys with hose of scarlet rede of the ones who had reached their goal at a promenade in an old fashioned garden on the moor on the way of Knowledge. After the hours of patient labor the company was glad to rest until the morning of the day which was to bring them home. And smale fowles maken meldoye and wake thirty-four to goone on with the pilgrimage, with Lord Larkin as leader. Of the great body who desired to reach the holy place, Earl Watts was chosen master, Weir was overseer, Helen Ferguson was chosen clerk, and Erlise Ferguson elected mauniciplc. A tall knight there was, wanton and a merry one played well the role of Cinderella at the High School autumn mixer. To test their learning gained on the road to knowledge these honest knights and ladies decided to stage a teacher’s convention, where chickens were served in such exquisite style that ne’er a drop fell upon their breasts, and their overlipped wiped they so clene, that in their eoppe nor ferthering of grece was sene. Worthy pilgrims rich in holy thought and work were chosen to represent their company at the Vocational Congresses. Those were Thompson and Ferguson ever honored for their worthinesse, and Bullis, Lewis, Roush, and Kephart the very parfit gentil knights. 'Flic lovyre and lusty bachelors, Huffman, Larkin, Maus, Watts, Miller, Peterson were of the solemn and greet basketball fraternittcc with Huffman clothed in livery of Captain. Without this company there could have been no all high play “TTie Whole Town’s Talking.” A pen hanging on her hand had she, and of writing had she such a haunt Patricia Knowles passed them of Yellowstone District and went to Bozeman in the Essay Contest. In all this world there was noon lyk the play given by the pilgrims just before their giol was reached, “Her Husband’s Wife.” Then wolde he speak so well Sir Oliver won declam and well afle was Bullis’s tongue that he won the only boy’s part in the play Mansions and was sent to Missoula. They made the persons and the people their apes as a band at the state contest, and half of which hand was composed of pilgrims who had almost reached their goal. In robes long and solemn, y-wimpled well, and on their hcades an hat were the girls of this long pilgrimage at the end of the journey gathered for baccalaureate with boys in, but of array I telle no lenger tele. No better fellows could one find than the four and thirty pilgrims at their journey’s end, arrayed in costumes old and new gathered to show that they were ay biforn and in good state on Class Day, June 1. Thus we telle most our tale, as we resoun, by forward and by composicion as he aveherd, what words medeth more, so the gode says it so that wys and obedient we must leave the road on which we made our pilgrimage. 29 AFTERWHILE He are the Juniors in the Afterwhiles, Scattered out in the never-ending aisles Of the future.

During their successful period of the year of ’24 they won many honors, for Raymond Buzzetti became Chief Makes the Basket; Don Huffman, Beater of the Tom-Tom; and Harvey Wilcutt, Shrill Squealer. Nellie Benson was known as Talking Woman for winning third place in Declamation. The ordeals, or exams were passed by the majority of the tribe, and they were again disbanded to roam about the plains and mountains until the Medicine Men would call them back to their work three moons later. Again the tribe of ’28 were called together by Medicine Men Russell and Winslow, for the purpose of choosing their Big Chief. Raymond Buzzetti was chosen Big Chief; Eunice Campbell, Chief Holds the Sack; and Jack Clifford, Chief Keeps the Cash. Among the honors of the tribe Raymond Buzzetti kept his name as Chief Makes the Basket, Don Huffman and Harvey Wilcutt were still classed among the Music Makers, while Marian Brekke, an added member, was given the name of Pounds the Ivory. Nellie Benson and Hernia Logan were named Pushes the Pen for their creditable work in essay Writing. Herma also won first place in declamation. The affirmative side of the debate to which the tribe of '29 challenged them was won by them. The subject was “Resloved, that semester examinations should be abolished.” The tribal maidens’ basketball team won the championship in the all-tribal tournament, and a similar honor on the race track. The examinations were again well passed by the majority of the tribe and they were again disbanded to roam about the plains and mountains. 34 BIG HORN THE h IIHIflllllllNIM JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY (Continued) In the year of '26 the tribe of '28 were again called together by Medicine Men Tuttle and Russell, and for Big Chief, Don Huffman was selected; Chief Holds the Sack, Helen Lawson; Chief Keeps the Cash, Evan Gustafson; Chief Spills the Ink. Marian Brckke. The tribe held their annual festival at which the losers of the Big Horn Subscription Contest provided the beef. The tribe were very much grieved because Medicine Man Tuttle had to leave the sunny camping grounds for the beaches of Tacoma. From the plains of Minnesota came our new' Medicine Man, Stver. Among the great honors conferred upon the tribe Raymond Buzzetti kept his name of Makes the Basket in addition to winning great honors at the district contest. Don Huffman shone among the Music Makers. Marian Brekke, Pounds the Ivory, participated in the Music Meet at Livingston. The tribal play was staged with great success. The leading characters were Don Huffman, Thora Nelson, Frances Ewing, Jack Clifford, Ada Naylor, Maurice Colbcrg, Lela Johnson, Evan Gustafson and Marian Brekke. Of the all-tribal play staged by the all tribes, Don Huffman and Thora Nelson played the leading parts. In the tribal contest for parts in the tribal play to lie staged at Missoula, Thora Nelson, and Lela Johnson were chosen. Nellie Benson represented her school in Declamation. Earlier in the season she was awarded the Lincoln essay medal. Winnifred Sibley became Pushes a Good Pen for her excellent work in essay writing, and for receiving fifth place in the State for her tribe. In the basketball tournament the braves won first place and the maidens second in their respective contest. The annual festival, the promenade and banquet given for the tribe called “Seniors” was a great success. The examinations were again successfully passed by the majority of the tribe and they were released for their vacation of three moons. When the Medicine Men again call them to their work, they will be called “Seniors” and they will begin that year with the hope that they will soon start on a steep trail up the mountain of life.

I I I Sophomore History September, 1925, fifty-five tourists started through the land of Knowledge in the bus of learning, “Freshman.” They elected Dorr Huffman, chauffeur, Louis Funston, mechanic, Ruth Roberts, bookkeeper, and Doris Vickers, financier. Their guides were Miss Marian Tuttle and Mr. W. J. Denman. The first detour was when they came to a sign—“Stop! Campaign for Big Horn.” The detour was long and rough but they came out victorious and were honored at the first mixer of the school year. Margaret Sullivan, one of the party, distinguished herself by winning the Lincoln Essay medal. Wayne Linthacum represented them in “Ice Bound,” the all-high school play. Their first serious accident was in June when the bus “Freshman,” broke down. They decided to wait until the following September to resume their travels through the land of Knowledge. September. 1926, found thirty-six of the tourists in a new bus, “Sophomore.” This year Louis Funston was elected chauffeur, Dorr Huffman, mechanic, Evelyn Lewis, bookkeeper, and Doris Vickers, financier. Miss Esther Freese and Mr. E. S. Ostergren were guides. They journeyed for some distance before they stopped to take part in the Interclass Basketball Tournament. Here the girls’ team won first of the five competing teams. This season Dorr Huffman, Garold Fish, and Doris Vickers represented them in “The Whole Town’s Talking.” Their mechanic, Dorr Huffman was absent to attend the music meet at Livingston. They enjoyed a picnic given in honor of the Seniors in May. June found the tourists ready to abandon the journey for the summer. • I I I I ....................................................................................................................................................................................... .

IMIllltllllUIIIIIIIMIMIIIHI m THE 19 2 7 iiiiimiiiiniii % BIG HORN Freshmen History J On September seventh, nineteen hundred twenty-six nearly forty-eight raw recruits marched into the H. H. S. Camp to enlist for four years of training, under the supervision of General G. Harris and Captains H. Ferris and C. Johnson. The trumpet sounded at nine o’clock, the new recruits were eager to start their training. They were then assigned to their different camps, under the various lieutenants. Their first lesson was to march into their camps and into their stations in proper form. Every man had his equipment and was ready to start at eight-thirty, when the last trumpet sounded the next morning. The head officer was chosen at the first Mass meeting, and Ruthie Miller received the honor. William Johnson was elected vice-president, while Tom Ferguson was elected treasurer, and Treva Rhinehart, secretary. They all attended the mixer given for the whole army and the officers. The raw recruits put on a very funny and clever act of a young girl and her many lovers for their share of the entertainment, and everyone seemed to enjoy himself immensely. At the Christmas party all the privates had a good time, and a jolly Santa Claus distributed the gifts. Quite a few of the privates signed up for the extemporaneous writing contest, and Harriet McAllister braved the scorn of the higher ranks to try to bring glory to her troop in the extemporaneous speaking contest. In the Commissary Department a contest was held by giving salesmanship talks, and Harriet McAllister received first, Treva Rhinehart, second, and Max Thompson, third. Quite a few of the privates joined the Glee Club and made their Halls of Training abound with song and cheer. Helen Corkins and Harriet McAllister were the two who entered the lists of those who registered for declamation. In the play “The Whole Town’s Talking,” Ruth Miller and Cecelia Larkin were chosen out of the troop, an honor which seldom comes to one in their first year of training. On March nineteenth the raw recruits held a class party. They all came dressed up as little boys and girls. A few enjoyable games were played, and then the eats were served in real army style—tin cups and paper plates. The pleasure hours were spent in track-work and basketball. Many went out for both, and received high praise for the splendid work that was done. In the inter-privates basketball tournament, the raw recruits received fourth and fifth places. On Thursday, March thirty-first, a few of the young officers embarked on the train with their musical instruments and helped bring back second place, for the Band, in the State. So perfectly had some obeyed orders that they were exempt from having to pass in review before the General the first semester. In the next three years of training some hope to go home with medals on their uniforms. Even if they have won no medals they have all done their best with a will and there is not one spy among them. 43 11 •••IMIIIMIIMIIMIIIIMIMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIII MM IIMIMII Mil 11 (Ml MIMI Hill (Ml I MM t III IIMMIIIIMMMIM 1111(1 llllll Mill MM IM11 IMIlltlll II!

Mill 19 2 7 Eighth Grade History In September of ’26 a group of forty-four bums, seeking knowledge, boarded the train headed for high school. With Virginia Kelly as chief guide, Arnold Corkins as assistant guide, Marjorie Ellen Graham, watchman of the faculty, Robert Strand, chief of the cash, and Miss O’Hara and Mr. Denman interpreting the signals for approaching danger, we began our journey. After citing the danger signals given by our sponsors, we decided to quiet down as the signs of approaching danger were close ahead. Our first “kick-off” was at the mixer, where our stunt was a mock-wedding and where we enjoyed watching the lordly seniors with their fine airs and manners. Our next exploit was in company with the rest of the high school students at a Christmas party, where we received five, ten, and fifteen cent gifts. Our part in this was an original play featuring an old fashioned school. With Kenneth Campbell and Clem Owen as our star basketball players, and Arnold Corkins, Lewis Wilcox, John Mielke and Jack Newell, other members of the team, we captured second place in the “Inter-class Tournament.” We were seldom gloomy until Kenneth Campbell, Kenneth Skrukrud, John Plummer, and Arnold Corkins, journeyed ahead to Livingston, as the musical lights of our group. Hitting the “high spots,” is not always pleasant as we found out when we hit the semester exams. In March, depending upon ourselves for enjoyment, we decided to have a party, where the lady members of the faculty assisted in teaching the timid girls and boys how to dance. The dancers also had the pleasure of dancing to the tune of “Hi-Diddle-Diddle,” which was played by the fiddler, Arlington Bunston. The orange ice and wafers added the finishing touches. We hope to be transferred without the loss of one man to the next train leading further into the depths of knowledge. 4 ORGANIZATIONS Little Horn Canyon I love to see the look ivitli which it braves,— The lightning, the fierce wind, and trampling waves.

The Student Council of Hardin High School is an organization with the promotion of student self-government as its purpose. The student body elects the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and auditor. There is also a representative from each high school organization chosen to be a member of the student council. The meetings of this organization are held twice a month on a stated day. The president of the student body presides at the meetings. This year the council has done much in the way of promoting good fellowship and self-government among the students. A great deal has been accomplished toward the writing of a new constitution, and many problems have been discussed. The persons who have been honored by the student presidency are: Verne Robinson, Arthur Gladden, Neil Janney, John Rankin' Dwight Ferguson and Earl Watts.

The officers of the club manage and operate the Students’ Store. Besides being a great accommodation and benefit to the entire student body, the Students’ Store is a project that is more than self-supporting, its net earnings each year being turned into the Students’ Association. It is the duty of the Board of Directors to supervise the policies of the store. There is also a branch store at the grade building, which is sponsored by the high school department, but is managed by the students of the grade school. This year has been very successful and each year this department becomes more efficient. 1 THE 1927 MUSIC Hardin schools have been honored by having one of the largest and best music departments in the state. Up to the present time instrumental music has been the foundation of all the other musical organizations of the school. In the lower grades instrumentation is encouraged as a preparation for their future years in high school. As an outside activity music cannot be surpassed. It develops the social functions of the students as well as mentally. The opportunities in music are open to all high school and grade school students. If this opportunity is seized it will cost you only your instrument as the rest is free. Nowhere in the state can a musical education be obtained at less expense. If the student cannot afford an instrument, he may rent one at a very small rental fee. Many students have done this and found it to be quite advantageous and profitable. Hardin high school for the last four or five years has been distinguished by many of its outside activities. Music has proven to be one of these details. Not only band work has been noticed, but much solo work has been appreciated by the community. Music in the Hardin schools is bettering itself each year. The progress has been very rapid and more than one hundred pupils are receiving instruction in instrumental music. I he band and orchestra in the school at Hardin are supplied with musicians through instrumental class instruction on all the different instruments of the band and orchestra. They are first assembled in a junior organization, after they become proficient enough on their instruments they are taken into the senior band and orchestra. Through our method of class instruction, an unlimited number of students may be accommodated in a relatively short time. We go down as far as the third and fourth grades to select material for the instrumental classes. We always aim to induce children to study the instruments that are needed in the band or orchestra, whereby proper balance of instrumentation is maintained. Children that start to study an instrument while in the third or fourth grade make much progress by the time they reach high school. If he stays with us during the entire four years, by the time he leaves he has developed himself into a splendid musician. % BIG HORN IIIIMMIIHIMIIMIMMIMMI 56 BAM) The Hardin School Band was organized in the fall of 1920 by Mr. E. H. Mentzer who directed the band for two years. The new organization made rapid progress. In the fall of 1923, Mr. Charles W. Disbrow took charge and directed the Hardin music department for one year. Mr. W. J. Denman, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music chose the supervision of the music department as his future work. Mr. Denman has remained with us for three years and his earnest endeavor in music has been greatly appreciated. During the year 1926-27, the band played at the State Farmer’s Convention at Billings in October, and placed second at the State music meet at Livingston, March 2. The band members arc: Trumpets: Eddie Larkin, Kenneth Kephart, Russell Peterson, Ellsworth Huffman, Arnold Corkins, Gordon Brekke; Clarinet: Harry Huffman, George Sullivan, Kenneth Campbell; Piccolo: Evan Gustafson; Horns: Robert Roush, John Plummer; Saxophone: Max Thompson, John Buzzetti; Baritone Saxophone: Edwin Bullis; Thombones: Dorr Huffman, Patricia Knowles; Drums: William Johnson, Don Huffman. Harry Pattison; Bass Horns: Cecil Gray, Tom Ferguson; Baritone: Maurice Colberg, Lawrence Labbitt. Alumni members—Trumpets: Harold Larkin, Melvin Cook; Trombone: Vincent Fischbach. as JUNIOR BAND The Junior Band has proved itself a very interesting organization in the last year. This organization serves the purpose of preparing the younger musicians for a career in the Senior Band. They have been recommended very' highly under the direction of Mr. W. J. Denman as a junior organization. The members are: Cecil Taylor, Gordon Brekke, James Torske, Ellsworth Huffman, Lawrence Labbitt, Gilbert Thompson, Edmond Kelley, Tom Ferguson, Harry Pattison, Wayne Linthaeum, James Medicine Tail, Cornelius Roush, Cecil Gray, Henry Jensen, Evan Gustafson, Frank Ewing, Kenneth Ford, Shirm Beall, Berkley Dyvig, Bill Johnson, Leo Ferguson, John Buzzetti, Horace Bunston, Orval Ross, and Luvern Bullis. JUNIOR ORCHESTRA The Junior Orchestra is improving itself very rapidly, as yet it is young, and cannot be relied upon as a senior organization. The orchestra has much talent of very promising effect and it is expected to be one of the leading organizations of the school in the near future. The following students are members of the Junior Orchestra: Edmund Powers, George Marquisce, James Medicine Tail, John Kuzzetti, Pauline Kleinhesslinck, Mildred Trussell, Evan Gustafson, Erlise Ferguson, Cecil Gray, Cornelius Roush, Lucille Colberg, Alpha Jones, Cecelia Fischbach, La Verna Tanner, Helen Corkins, Viola Reno and Margaret Kurzhals. GIRLS GLEE CLUB The girls Glee Club was founded nine years ago by Miss Olive Cory. During her time as instructor she accomplished very much. Miss Lura Prest, now Mrs. H. M. Strand, who followed Miss Cory, did a great deal for the improvement of vocal music in the High School. In the fall of 1924 Mr. W. J. Denman took charge of the Glee Club and has very successfully directed it in the last three years. This year the Glee Club sang at the Armistice program at the Harriet Theater. The Operetta “Ghosts of Hilo,” was the major project. They also sang in conjunction with the music contestant recital at the Harriet Theater March 25. Members are Pianist, Marian Brekke; Evelyn Lewis, Nancy Smith, Francis Ewing, Alberta Thompson, Lela Johnson, Edna Gilbert, Margaret Kurshals, VVinni-fred Sibley, Gladys Ping, Margaret Sullivan, Margaret Ping, Sadie Ping, Florence Beall, Patricia Knowles, Harriet McAllister, Blanche Smith, Ruby Graf, Katherine Reno, Mildred Trussel, Dorothy Conner, Harriette Weir, Natalie Turner, Helen Corkins, Evelyn Dyvig, LuVerne Ford, Helen Ferguson, Doris Vickers, Alpha Jones, Marian Plummer, Iola Moore, Josephine Ebcling, and Marie Owens.

Between acts dances were given by Lois Barrows and Mary, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mason Daniels. Four of the ushers, Helen Bullis, Marjorie-Ellen Graham, Lucille Colberg, and Virginia Kelley, dressed in white and wearing the traditional Hawaiian leis, played ukuleles and sang.

E. Thomas gave Helen an opportunity to weep on the comfortable and comforting shoulders of each of the three men in the cast, allowed Eugene to blossom forth as a horse-racing, automobile-wrecking young millionaire ,and demanded of Bob some difficult acting which he did pretty realistically. Earl and Gladys shared honors in acting up to a clever climax, and Erlise could “read print, not print print.” April 8 was the date of the senior play. 65 IIIIIMIIIHIII STATE CONTEST PLAY With eager interest Hardin High School play-lovers heard the announcement of the Little Theater tournament, an innovation of the Twenty-fourth Interscholastic Meet at the State University. After our entry, “Mansions” by Hildegarde Flanner, had been telegraphed to Professor Glick, eleven students, juniors and seniors, tried out.

Basketball For the basket hall season of 1926-27 we can claim success in every way. At the first call for practice about forty boys responded, one of the best turnouts in the history of the school. Only two of the 1925-26 state runner-up were available for the team, namely Huffman, captain-elect and all state guard, and Buzzetti at forward. But with these men as nucleus another of Hardin’s traditional strong teams was molded. During the scheduled game season ten games were won and five lost and all games were of high standard. At the district tournament we won three games but lost to Billings and Big Timber, who represented the district at the state tournament. Of this year’s team we lose through graduation, Huffman, Maus, Watts, Miller, Peterson and Larkin, but Ray Buzzetti and Jack Riggs will form a good nucleus for next vear. SECOND TEAM The Second Team made an enviable record this year winning all their games. Most of the members will be back next year and will make strong bids for the 1927-28 squad. To the second team must be given much of the credit of the success of the first team as our this year second team has been an unusually strong one.

The first game was with Hysham. Our girls lost but they enjoyed the game, and afterwards the boys’ and girls’ teams had a very pleasant time at a feed in the Home Economics Department. The next game was at Worden, where the girls were again defeated. The long trip was taken in one of the school busses. Later the team journeyed to Custer. The game was a very fast one and ended with a close score. 'File return game with Custer was cancelled much to our disappointment. Worden came here for the last game of the season and defeated the Hardin girls by a decisive score. Although there are no victories to the credit of the team this year, still they have played very good basketball. We believe in giving a large number of the girls the training, and in playing for the sake of the game.

With the first call for track about 30 men answered and began to work. Due to bad weather the track team was unable to get as many out-door “work-outs” as is generally necessary for the shaping of a good track team. This year Hardin participated in the Tri-county Track Meet held at Hysham, Montana. Three counties were represented; the different schools that attended the meet were: Miles City, Custer, Rosebud, Hysham, and Hardin. Miles City was victorious with 64 points and Hardin winning second with 34 points. Eleven men took the trip to Hysham. They were: Eugene Maus, Jimmie Medicine Tail, Earl Watts, Kenneth Kephart, Bob Miller, Eddie Larkin. Jack Clifford, Ray Buzzetti, Myron McAllister, Gerald Fish, and Jack Riggs. 'ITtose placing in the Tri-County Track Meet were: Eugene Maus second in shot put, second in javelin, second in broad jump, third in discus; Myron McAllister, first in pole vault; Earl Watts, second in half mile run; second in 440 yard dash; Eddie Larkin, second in 50 yard dash, second in 100 yard dash, second in 220 yard dash; Ray Buzzetti, third in discus. 111 {11 i ■! .

The games were all played in the afternoon, except the final game. The assembly was allowed to attend, and a great deal of enthusiasm was shown. The captains of the class teams were: Seniors, Erlise Ferguson; Juniors, Helen Lawson; Sophomores, Dorothy Fischbach; Freshmen, Ruth Miller; and Eighth Grade, Marjorie Ellen Graham. The tournament was arranged so that each team would have a chance to play each other team. The results of the tournament were in the following order: first for the Sophomores; then the Juniors; Seniors; Freshmen; and Eighth Grade. The inter-class games are of more interest and of more importance than the out-of-town games because the pleasure and advantages are for a larger group of girls. After the basket-ball season closed, the girls devoted their gymnasium periods to folk dancing and games for a time. Then the girls started baseball for a spring sport. In unpleasant weather the girls practice in the gymnasium, and play outside on nice days. The year’s work finished with an inter-class baseball tournament. The girls have proven themselves very capable on the diamond. BOYS’ INTER-CLASS TOURNAMENT Much interest centered about the inter-class tournament which was won by the Juniors. But the Juniors were hard pressed by the eighth grade team, a team small in stature but a fighting team which held the Juniors to a 16 to 17 score. All the other classes put out good teams, making a creditable showing.

The schools that took part in the contest were: Custer, Lodge Grass, Worden and Hardin. The Polytechnic contestants were unable to compete on account of spinal meningitis. The subjects open to competition were: Literature, Algebra, American History, World History, Physics, Chemistry, General Science, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typewriting I and II, Geometry, English I, Current History, Latin I and II. Carl Moore was high point student, having won a total of thirteen points for our school. Marie Williams and Lillian Schotz of Worden also showed superior ability in more than one subject. i I'! THE 1 9 2 7 BIG HORN STATE EXTEMPORANEOUS WRITING CONTEST The preliminary writing contest was held February 21, 1927. From the twenty 1 entrants a committee of faculty members chose the following persons to write in the | local finals: Patricia Knowles, Winnifred Sibley, Louise Benson, Viola Reno, and I Dorothy Herman. We were very pleased when word came from the State College I at Bozeman that, the essays submitted by two Hardin entries, Winnifred Sibley and 1 Patricia Knowles were included among the nine best papers in the state. Patricia and Winnifred competed in the contest at Bozeman tournament week. They placed ' fourth and fifth, and secured for our school a letter of commendation from Pro-1 fessor Brewer of the State College. 1 1 1 1 STATE INTERSCHOLASTIC ESSAY CONTEST i 1 The seniors enrolled in English IV entered the State University Interscholastic ■ Essay Contest again this year.

BIG HORN THE 1927 Grade School Department Graduation in our school system means completion, not of the high school, not of the elementary school, but of the twelve-year school. The whole district is the educational unit, the various departments and schools being parts. A wholesome pride of workers in every grade for achievements in all grades of the twelve-year school, and of workers in every school and department, for good work in every department, school, and locality is evident. Pupils, teachers, and neighborhoods share in this pride. It is the result of the large-scale co-operation which characterizes this district, and at the same time, it is assurance of further accomplishment through improved co-operation. 8 Student Council Grade School Department Original methods of adjustment to individual differences in pupils are employed in the elementary grades and are gradually becoming established with modifications, in the high school grades. These methods involve directed study with problem-project motivation; four or five groups in each grade working on weekly assignments graduated according to demonstrated ability, with no upper limit upon any pupil; continuous promotion and demotion throughout the year; emphasis upon freedom, loyalty, and co-operation. This plan is heartily supported by all teachers, pupils and trustees. Results of standard tests indicate its effectiveness in the common branches of study. Its best fruitage seems to be a steady growth in initiative and in membership responsibility and capacity. THE CROW AGENCY PUBLIC SCHOOLS .....................................

Most of this territory is too remote from either Hardin or Crow Agency to benefit by the transportation enjoyed by the pupils in the neighborhood of these centers. To take care of the needs of these pupils eleven schools have been established. Some of these schools are a great distance from Hardin, the school at Fort Smith being 45 miles south, Sarpy 42 miles east and Muddy Creek 67 miles southeast of Hardin.

Regular Scout meetings have been held weekly. The work has kept the boys interested in athletics, such as basketball and baseball, hikes, and the one large project of establishing a permanent local Bov Scout Camp. A well has been dug, a pump established, an outdoor stove built, and immediate plans are to build a cabin from railroad ties. Temporary plans are to include a summer camp. Troop Committee: J. J.

THE 1927 h BIG HORN JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET AND PROM At last the long anticipated evening had arrived, and the merry and slightly awed crowd entered the gymnasium to be warmly welcomed by the Snowman who was the figurative presiding officer. Arrayed in their newest finery, about eighty people seated themselves around the hollow square, which was to be the scene of a joyous repast for the next few hours. The table was decorated in the Senior colors, with candles and favors which were especially complimentary to them. Between courses numerous musical selections were given by students and when the dishes were cleared away, warm toasts on cold subjects were greatly enjoyed by the non-speakers, and heartily responded to by various students and members of the faculty. The gathering was then adjourned to meet again the following evening. The plan of decoration for this year was a snow scene. The sky was of pale blue and the pure white snow drifting down from the sky made a cool and delightful atmosphere for the dancers. The walls were of blue and white, blending with the sky and the green of the fragrant fir branches, which were bright and sparkling with new fallen snow. High up in one corner a large yellow moon smiled down upon the scene below, and this shining orb seemed to take in every detail of the festive occasion. In the center of the floor, and surrounded by a wall of shrubbery and snow, was the orchestra, which rendered music that was truly beautiful and quite fitting for the occasion. From a pale blue sky millions of snowflakes drifted down to mingle with the sweet scent of the fir trees, the murmurs of the dancers, and the soft strains of music. This was the Promenade held in honor of the class of nineteen hundred twenty-seven. At eight o’clock on the evening of the twentieth of May, a happy throng had gathered in the hall of the high school. At one end of the hall the alumni was gathered, and one could tell by the low hum of their voices that they were fondly recalling somewhat clandestinely, their days in the old high school. In another corner stood a group of sweet young things, twittering, and laughing, while the juniors who were hosts of the occasion were running hither and thither, busily engaged in seeing that everything was all right. At eight-thirty faintly the first notes of the orchestra drifted softly up from the gymnasium to the ears of the throng and touched off the pent up excitement of the waiting assembly. 'Hie doors were swung open and as of old, a company from some far country entering the hall of the king did this gathering enter the gymnasium that night. The first few minutes were occupied by filling programs and getting the place in which they wished to be seated. Suddenly the first notes of the grand march were struck, and each of the gentlemen with his lady formed in line. After this was over and programs were filled, an hour was spent in joyous dancing and conversation. Then ballots were passed out and everyone was requested to vote for his or her choice for the Prom queen, an honor which was bestowed upon one of the fair sex who was present, and as this is purely a descriptive article we shall leave her name from print. When the votes were counted and the winner announced, she was led to a beautifully decorated throne at one end of the gym, and she was crowned with a wreath of fir which was a symbol of the occasion. Dancing was then resumed and the lively music was alternated with the numbers of dreamy moonlight waltzes. When the last notes of the sweet old song, “Home Sweet Home” sounded, the happy evening was ended, the mellow moon ceased to smile, there was happiness in the hearts of the students, and so passed another page in the history of old Hardin High. 92 ..............................................................................................................................MMIIIIIMMMINMIMIIMIIIinMMIIIMMMIIIMIMMMMMmMIII ...mm....mm....... him....................................................................ihmimm..ihmimimm...uni. .......

BIG HORN ill CHRISTMAS PARTY On the afternoon of December 22, the annual Christmas Ball was held in the high school gym. It was opened by a program, following which the refreshments were served by the Home Economics class. Later dancing was enjoyed by all until the world outside darkened and whispered that it was time to go. MIXER The Seniors were entertained by the faculty and the four other classes as a reward for winning “The Big Horn Subscription Contest” previously held. This was the first “get acquainted” affair of the year. The clever stunts given by the various classes featured extensively throughout the evening. Later refreshments were furnished and rapidly devoured with all the jovial laughing characteristic of the event. 111 i ■ i l : : Gladys Ping—I’ve got an Idea.
