Rhyme About Town Twas just a little village Hard times and tribulations That had grown upon the plain Stopped at every door. It slumbered in the sunshine But sturdy souls just cried It shivered in the rain We’ll give up no more. But it lived and played a part Progress came but so did pain When the early settlers came. Its roster repeats many a name. Then the railroad passed it by Now the car’s replaced the carriage But the village did not die Jet streams float overhead It just moved across the prairie By the crops that grow around it And took another name. Much of the world is fed. It never grew to world wide fame 100 years filled full of living But it filled the needs of people Has built a town worth our thanksgiving. Just the same. — Olive C. Sanborn

Town Grown And Changes In 100 Year History Change is something every town, big or small, experiences and cannot do without. Hurley has used these changes for the betterment of the community and those who live here. This commitment has made it possible for our town to progress toward the future and yet retain its unique individuality. We would like to dedicate this 1983 Centennial edition of the Hurkota Yearbook to the members of the Hurley community, and to the alumni of Hurley High. For each and every one has contributed to the growth of our community. 2 1 Bus drivers today would agree that they are more fortunate than their counterparts of years gone by These men in the pic ture often shoveled blocked roads and snowbound buses by hand. 2 Built in 1920, the third school burned down in 1942. 3- Pktured is the Home Ec. class in 1913 when modern conve niences such as electric ranges were but a dream. 4- Shown a year after completion, the new schoolhouse was con- sidered quite modern for the time. 5 Surrounded by prairie on all sides.

4 Changes Can Be Nostalgic Remember waiting for the first day of school? Learning how to count, Trying to follow every rule. Now grade school seems so simple. Remember those silly parties we threw? Entering junior high was a little scarey, But, through our experiences, we grew. High school made us feel important. We made every year better than the last. All the ball games and prom dates. Wishing they would all forever last. But our ultimate goal was always graduation. So now in front of my parents and friends, I stand, Proud, knowing it was all worthwhile, With that diploma in my hand. — Deb Nelson 1 Nan, one of the few students who comes to school smiling, is ready for another busy day at H.H.S. 2- What was in that soup girls?!! 3- Armed with only her fingernails and teeth. Karin demonstrates the art of Danish self-defense. 4- Lora poses with ‘‘Cuddles” the bear. Which one do you think is more cuddly?
