After a little thought Janice

but when I got up to sing I
was not frightened for more
than one reason"
1T was about the most fun
and the biggest thrill I have
ever experienced. None of the
girls experienced mike fright,

Leap Years Here
BY JACK BUZZETTI

Here we go, gals" "Yipee!
Show me to EN- These some
what startling EXPLANATIONS
can be heard quite frequently
in the corridors these days.
Therefore, it seems only right
to give the boys fair warning
in the matter. It's like this fell
lows:
Once again leap year has
rolled our wav. You know what
that means. Well, the girls are
pretty happy about the whole
thing.
Yes. sir, this is the year for
the girls to shine. And accord
ing to a few of the rumored
plans, they ought to do all
right.
We'll show those scoundrels
how to act" Pm going to treat
him lust like he's been treating
me lately!"
However, not all the girls are
out for revenge. Some are go
ing to show the boys some real
fun. They have a good many
brilliant ideas, too.
Whatever the outcome of the
idea is, the boys are due for
some surprises-both pleasant
and unpleasant.
When the girls start planning
leap year parties. everyone
knows there's a good time COM
ing up. They know that this Is
their" year and are they ever
going to show it.

J%dnudrY's Name
BY Mary S~tarkweather-

New Years Day, the first day
of January, comes in a month
whose name has an interesting
story back of it.
Have you ever wondered how
January got its name? Accord
ing to mythology, January is
named after Janus, a god Of
good beginning. This name
seems to be very fitting, as
everyone desires to make a good
beginning, and frequently re-
solves to dc so although these
resolutions are often broken.
Janus had two faces, one
young and looking forward, the
other old and looking back.
Janus was thought to control
every undertaking. He is rep
resented as having a key in his
left hand with which he opens
the gate at the beginning OF
the new year and shuts it al
the end,

STUDENTS ASKED
ABOUT COURSE
Majority Would
Not Take Three
Years OF English

And I still say make English
in high school OPTIONAL. THIS
statement is the beginning OF
an article by Nora Nolan Ruff
of the Larned. Kansas High
School. and was published in
the November issue OF the NIoll-
tana Education magazine.
Miss Rose Pathmann, head NJ
Hardin nigh schools English
department, states that she still
believes three years of English
should be required. although
the arguments set forth in Nora
Nolan Rufus article favor max
ing the subject an elective one.
AS a matter of fact. the ar
gumentS were so good that MISS
Pathmann was prompted to call
for a little Investigation, the
results of which should prove
interesting to our readers.
Several students from the
Journalism class were assigned
the task CT interviewing every
student in the senior high
school who is taking English,
and put before him the ques-
ton as to whether or not he
would take this subject if it
were not a required one.
Public speaking and journal
ism were not included as these
are elective and it was assumed
that students taking these two
courses are doing so because
they want to. English I. II and
III however. are required ana
it is from students answers IN
these classes that the following
statistics we're compiled.
The total number asked was
232. of which ia were girls and
119 were boys. Forty-two boys
said. yes" and "a girls said
yes" Seventy-siX boys SAID,
no and so girls no" making
a total of 106 who said yes
and 1876 who said mo TWO
students were absent and their
answers were not available.

Miss Kurtz, who Is in charge
of the Hardin high school IL
brary, stated recently that they
have a fairly large selection 81
MAGAZINES this year.
Much valuable and interest,"
ing information can be OBJ
tanned from the pages of maya
zines. Then. too, reading maya
zine articles is ar excellent way
to spend those few leisure min
utes of which most high school
students have to spare, she
stated.
The available reading mater
ial includes the Great Falls
Tribune. a daily, and the Har-
din Tribune-Herald, a weekly.
The monthly magazines taken
are National Geographic, Amer

The Popular Educator, a
magazine publisher weekly oy

ance, is just as the name
sounds-a magazine to broaden
the minds of not only the
teachers but also the students.
The excellent little booklets
which are bound and placed
on the shelves with the books,
are composed of lectures by
some of the intelligent and
well-known professors of diff
ferent colleges and universities

Interests In Dress

Lately we've heard many ex-
CARNATIONS from members OF
both sexes concerning the knee
length stockings the girls have
started wearing. They are only
an example of other ideas that
students carry out. THESE IDEAS
usually start from large unlver-
stiles or colleges and are quick
lv taken up by students all over
the country.
sweaters, are being worn IN
us" now and supposedly will
reach us soon.
Regarding the shoes now
worn, it could be said that the
majority have the new Dutcn
toe idea. The wooden Bolf
doesn't seem so popular this
wear and as a result they are
practically never seen. HOW.
ever, the crepe soles are still
in full swing. In girls styles
the noisy flat heeled brown
oxford has excelled all others
for school wear. The boys have
taken to antique, a new color
in shoes, and they seem also
quite popular for school and
parties. e..
Loud, colored stockings for
boys seem to have taken the
place completely of the more
quiet ones seen before.
Shirts, skirts, and sweaters
are still almost the only mode
of dress for the girls; Cords
shirts, sweaters, gabardine
shirts, and Stacks for the male
students.
Although they'll deny it, the
J boys are just as particular

WE COULD DO Fl

We could do without the
smart alex that saSSeS the
teacher; the guy that doesn't
want to spend his money On
pencils and paper so just steals
it out of somebody's locker that
doesn't happen to be locked At
the time.
I think the teachers would
mention first of all the fellow
that's never on time. They
would probably also mention
the person with all the excuses.
He has an excuse for every
thing. There's also tie fellow
that's never wrong but always
right.
Don't we all hate the person
who cheats to get his place.
Play fair or not at all. Let that
be your motto. And Oh. the
bossy person - we'd give any
thing to get rid of him. We all
deteSt to be bOSSed for we all
feel that we should nave some
thing to say about certain
things. Don't all Americans
hate dictatorship?
Then there are the people
that are too good for anyone
else. The conceited fool, We
could say. It will never get you
anywhere except to get people
to dislike you.
We also don't like the person
who has TO hit you for no rea-
son at all. This fault shows
only ill-breeding. Break TINS
habit now!
All people hate poor sports:
Never boo the visiting team:
this not only shows poor sports
manship but also hurts your
school.
And then there's the teacher
who gives long assignments out
never discusses the lesson IN
class. He leaves it all to you.
Most students hate the teach
er's pet. They do get by with
a lot the rest would get kicked
out of class for.
Let's tell the truth fellow
men, no matter what situation
you are in. You'll get farther
in this world.
The CAB is the one that real
ly gets on our nerves. Say what
is worth while and then keep
still. Do not say unnecessary
things.
Neither you nor I like the
Jealous person. He criticizeS you
on anything you do. Do not ne

MINIATURES
PERSONALITY
James Louk, president

Everyone knows Jimmie, SO
we'll just enumerate his quail
ties.
First, James is a star athlete,
playing football, basketball, and
baseball very we'll. He also en-
tiers in track meets and COM
petes for the high honors.
Second, he has a frlendy,
ready smile for everyone. The
personality belongs with the
smile. .,
Jimmie came to Hardin high
from the Crow Agency grades
and has struggled with the
best of them for four long
wears. He has become so well
liked that the school will hate
to see him graduate, although
they give him their best wishes
for his success.
Esther Wolcott, vice presi-
dent
Our girl athlete is Esther. Our
friend is Esther. Our joybird
is Esther. Ours. She's just an
d1l-dlOu1lu A1llC4 1IdA1 gu.
Eddie participated in all the
sports so strenuously so it be-
came necessary to cut down a
bit: She's the type that would
laugh at a stale joke so your
feelings wouldn't be hurt, and
we love her for it.
Esther started the first grade
with the class of 40. So you
see, she came right up the line
in Hardin schools.
Folks! she wears glasses much
to her disgust but we like them
cause to us they're Esther.
She's got luck so we can't
give it to her but we're in luck
to have her.
Bette Mann, secretary
treasurer
Energetic is the name for
Bette. She is ready to 60 when
ever needed around the school.
Her pleasant personality and
her energy go quite well to-
gether and as a result she has
become a Jolly well-liked" sea-
