Students Attend
Patriotic Movie

The students of Hardin high
school had the opportunity of
seeing, 1.-The Flag Speaks" which
was shown at the Harriet thea
tire, Wednesday, October 80.
The story of the national en-
blem of the American people
begins with the Revolutionary
war.
After the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence, in
1776, it was felt that a national
emblem should be chosen. In
1776 q resolution was adopted in
Congress that the flag of the
thirteen United States shall be
thirteen stripes, alternating red
and white, and that the union
be thirteen white stars on a blue
field.
The first flag, which was
made from a white shirt and
an old blue coat, and some
strips of red cloth from the pet
ticoat of a soldiers wife, was
raised i'm TIT.
All the grade pupils also had
the opportunity of seeing this
picture. Many high school stu
dents remarked that they found
the picture to be both interest
ing and worthwhile.

Absences & Tdrdies

A survey was made of the
absences and tardies during the
first six weeks, and it was
learned that the seniors taken
as a class, and in their home
rooms. have the most tardies.
During the first six weeks %
seniors were tardy. The senior
home room, No. 81, led the list
with IA tardies. The sopohomre
class had only 6 tardies. The
freshman home room, No. II,
deserves special mention. Not a
person and they're all boys,
were tardy.
Among the worst school skip
pers, is the sophomore class.
1874 absences were noted. The
sophomore home room, 103 had
Gil absences, which was more
than any other home room had.
The seniors may have had the
greatest number of tardies but
they nearly always got there.
Only IS absences were recorded
for the class. Senior home room
No. IA had only IL absences.

Club Has Hay Ride

The Glee club, under the sup
ervision of Mr.. Hegre, sponsored
a very modern hay ride Satur-
day, october 10. The modern
note was struck with a tractor
instead of horses pulling the
hay rack.
The members of the Carmen
chorus, and their guests left
early in the evening for the
Gress ranch, three miles north
of Hardin. At the ranch, a bon
fire was lighted and lunches
were eaten. Bert Salverson sang
a few songs to the accompani-
ment of his guitar.
After the hay ride an infor-
NAL dance was given at the high
school gymnasium.

New Report Card
System Indugurdted

It was decided that students
of Hardin high school would
have less trouble with lost re-
port cards if only one for each
student were used, rather than
the four or five as in 1939-4O.
AS a result. new cards are be-
ing >,iven out. All of the stu
dents grades appear on this
card. Besides being rated for the
subject itself, the person is gra-
ded for citizenship.
The system will be similar to
that used last year. A is from
95 to 100; B. from 80 to "a; c,
from 80 to 80; D. from rs to 70;
and F is below u.s. 1t is hoped
that these new report cards will
fle satisfactory.

Changes In School

Due to the confusion every
time Hardin high has an assem-
bly,, a new seating system has
been worked out.
The balcony is limited to the
seventh and eighth grades. The
seventh grade section is the far
thereSt from the balcony door.
The eighth graders have their
section next to the door. There
will be a space between the two
classes.
On the main floor of the gym
nasium there will be four sec
tons. The freshmen will be in
the far end of the gym, the jun
iors next DO them, while the
seniors will occupy the second
section with the sophomores as
the door keepers.
This seating arrangement is
to be followed for every event
taking place in the gymnasium
LOCKERS ASSIGNEE:
Lockers were assigned to the
different classes last week by
Mr.. Thompson.
The seniors were given indi-
vidual lockers of their own
choice and were the first to
receive them this year.
The juniors were given second
choice of lockers not used in
either building.
The sophomores, freshmen
and Junior high students re-
ceived their choice of lockers
respectively. in the junior high

journalism Class
Has New Speller

The journalism class is using
Meyers Vocabulary building
speller this year. This book is
exactly what the name implies
a vocabulary builder. The edi-
ton contains nearly 5000 words
above the sixth grade. The
words have been selected and
arranged according to common
ness of use.
ut is hoped that students in
the journalism class will i'm
prove their spelling and enlarge
their vocabularies," stated Miss
Pathmann, instructor of the
class.
However, in order to secure
the greatest number of advan-
tages from the text, students
must study the meaning and
use of the words, as well as the
spelling, she advised.
Meyers vocabulary building
plan has never before been used
in any speller. 1t gives the stu
dent an opportunity to see each
word from one to five times. No
intelligent student can study
this book without, in the end
understanding each word in it
The words in this speller were
selected by experts, and those
encountered in the daily work
of the majority of educated
people.
Through the cooperation OF
experts on the National Broad
casting company, the Columbia
Broadcasting system, it has been
possible to include many words
that have given contestants the
most trouble in the spelling
bees conducted over their ma
tion-wide hook-ups.
Members of the journalism
class have already expressed
their liking for this speller, and
feel that it will be of intrinsic
value to them.

HOLD THAT LINE

We all know that the yards
gained in a football game mean
nothing if the payers are I'M
able to hold them, and those
that have played football know
that the line cannot be held il
the tackling technique is lmper-
feet. Perfection in technique can
best be accomplished by I'M
ceasi1g practice in the correct
and most efficient methods as
shown by the coach.
The same thing holds true OF
ones education. 1t is up to each
and every student to hold that
line" The best way to do this
is to learn the essential facts
as thy are put before US by
our instructors and the text
books. We must strive earnestly
to learn our lessons. Perfection
will not be attained unless we
show interest in our work and
make every attempt to gain
perfection.
If students will get their les
sons day by day and follow in
structionS, they will be able to
face those quizzes and eXamina-
tons without fear. The know
ledge acquired now will help ev-
eryone to face the problems of
life with more courage and self
assurance after school days are
over. The overnight cram
ming" method has no lasting
qualities. Get your lessons every
day and you will find to your
satisfaction, that you will be
better able to 'hold that line"

Thru My Goggles

Ho hum, tests are over. AS
usual, lots of kids are saying
they should have studied hard
er. Many who aren't saying it
are, no doubt, wishing the same
thing, we betcha.
Kind of nice having a day off
while the teachers go a-roo-ta-
tee-toot to the institute. Bet the
faculty kinda likes it too, don't
cha?
Why must some people be so
noisy about turning the leaves
of magazines? It's quite annoy
ing for those who wish to study.
And speaking OF MAGAZINES, try
reading some Of II" 0}ticl"S
some time. Pictures trl be- and
are edurati1n2'. we Il adm but
after all. why spend a whole
study period treating a good
magazine as if it were only a
funny paper!
Why copy from your neigh
boris paper instead of figuring
it out for yourself? Chances are
you know just as much about
it as he does, and if he should
be wrong, see what a mistake
you've made. Which reminds us
of the teacher who reprimanded
Johnny for copying by remark
ing, Johnny, this is the fourth
time I've seen you looking at
Georges paper" To which
Johnny replied, Eyes, I know,
but he doesn't write very plain
ly."
Queer, but some folks have to
laugh so boisterously just to let
the whole world know that
something is tickling them! A
famous man once remarked that
the loud laugh bespeaks a va
cant mind. There's a lotta truth
in them thar wards, pal.
Every student should have
plenty to do in study halls, but
if you don't at least you can be
quiet for the sake of those who
have. Consideration for others
is another sign of good citizen
ship.
We don't think much of the
way some of the sophomore
boys have been going around
ION their own" to initiate the
freshmen. Fun is fun, and is
relished by all of us, but too
far is too far.
A lot of kids weren't satisfied
with their report cards. That
could be taken as a healthy
sign provided they resolve to
make up for their past short,
comings. This going to school
business works exactly like put
ting your money in the bank.
The more you put in, the more
you'll take out in interest. So
it is with school work. The more
you put into it, the greater div
idends you can expect. Simple,
isn't it? Trv it.
Mighty good to see the foot
ball boys out every evening.
Such faithfulness should sure
ly be rewarded by some more
winning games. Here's wishing
them luck!
Let's hope the students of HH
S will sprinkle grains Of com
mon sense and decency into
their fun when they start out
on their Halloween pranks.
Don't forget the golden rule.
Vandalism is not a characteris-
tic of good citizen.

Former Student
Writes Teacher


letter received by Miss Path
mann, from Lois Wolcott, a
members of the class of al"
who is taking her senior year
at Minneapolis. Miss Pathmann
has kindly given us this letter
for publication. We quote parts
of it:
II just received the Hardin
Tribune Herald and have read
the Big Horn section.
NOV I'll try to give you a
few points on the Central high
school. 1t covers a whole block
and is five stories high. There
are 2,186 pupils and 76 teach
ers, 10 janitors, and a janitress.
The grades are divided into AS
and BIS. You are a B until jan
uary then advance to the A and
usually change your course of
studies. I go to school at 800
and get out at 800 pm. We
have a half-hour off for lunch
so I have to stay at the Cafe
terra.
I'm taking botany, civics,
English, and tipping II. The
subjects aren't hard and my En-
glish is exactly like last years
English. Three weeks before ev-
cry six weeks period, the teach
ers hand out fail slips. This is
merely to warn you that you're
failing and you have q chance
to improve before the six weeks
tests. Luckily, I didn't get any
but was sure worried. The kids
here are rather slow in their
school work and most of the
seniors seem to be so lot. I
guess a lot of them have
flunked out.
We have assembly once every
week. They are really swell,
consisting of tap dancing, pop
ular singing, piano solos, pep
talks and pep yells and sing
ing. This school has wonderful
school spirit, one of the first
things I noticed. ALI of the pep
songs are led by an orchestra
leader who is 70 years old. But
ne is as Spry as a chicken and
the kids here just worship him.
The five cheer leaders are all
girls and dress in red velvet
blouses with blue pleated skirts.
On the day that there is to be
a game, all the kids wear some
thing blue and red to represent
the school. Don't you think that
is "a clever idea?
There isn't any possible way
of skipping out of school. In
the halls are 200 hall monitors
stationed at different places.
When you have to 60 to another
class room your teacher gives
you a pink slip with your name,
time, where you're going and
from what room. Then each
monitor signs this. So you see
you can't be ornery even if
you wanted to.
