II I Had A Million!

The staff of the Big Horn
were the receivers of a bright
idea. We got to wondering what
people would do if they sudden
" received a million dollars. A
curious reporter went out and
interviewed a goodly number OF
students with a few teachers
mixed in for good luck, and the
following answers were re-
ceived:
Marguerite Plummer said, II
would get everything I want
and put the rest in the bank"
Bill Frazer answered, Gosh!

ey in an airplane factory"
Bonnie Warren would, BUY a
new wardrobe, a Mercury, and
take a trip over the United
States" J. N. Thompson quickly
replied, IT would quit working
and live the life of Riley"
Kay Lind's reply was that she
would, Really raise the DEVIL
Bus Hammer said, I'D marry
somebody, go around the world
and have a real good time"
Eunice Simpson said, I'D &c

Roy Knodle would Just faint
Mr.. Cowley would buy a new
jacknife. Betty 10 Trenholme
would buy a new wardrobe, see
the world, and put five thous-
and dollars in the bank for COL
lege.
Gabby Green remarked, "I'c
buy an airplane of my very
own" Vera Louk thought thai
she would get everything she
wanted, and go around thu
world.
Hugh Linn reported that HI
would faint and then recover
quickly and go to an aeronaut'

GIVE A LITTLE WHISTLE"

MANY and varied are the
types of whistlers. And just as
numerous are the various whis-
ties.
We've all heard of the boy
who whistles when he bravely
confrontS the graveyard. But
perhaps the most used whistle
is the one for sheer enjoyment
Many a song has been "dewin-
ded" through the puckered lips,
We whistle when we walk
alone, when we become involved
in deep meditation, and even
when a beautiful girl passes.
At times the blaring horn of
a car is replaced by a timid
whistle when the young Romeo
calls for his date.
But by far the most annoying
is the one you hear in study
hall when some student is vio-
lently conquering his algebra or
geometry.
This whistle comes through
the teeth and causes a missing
sound which can be heard
throughout the room. This var
ietv is expulsed unconsciously
and is more than unpleasant to
the listener.
Indeed, the hiss" of a snake
would be every bit as welcome to
one who is trying to get a les
son. If you study, don't whistle
If you whistle, we can't study

THE HOME

It is not too late to make
this school year pay you valu'
able dividends. There is still
time for a student who is be-
hind to make a fresh start
What if you did wait until the
eleventh hour? The last LAP
still remains.
To a runner the final kick
or the home stretch is the most
important factor in a race.
without it the race would be
an utter failure. The same
thing applies to the student.
But on the other hand. do
not leave everything until the
last minute.
So let's make the home
stretch a real success and win
the race to a successful school
year.

A Hot Weather Song
I feel so exceedingly lazy,
I neglect what I oughtn't to
should!
My notion of work is so hazy
That I couldn't toll if I would.
I feel so exceedingly silly,
That say all I shouldn't to
ought!
And my mind ds as frail as a
lily;
It would break with the weight
of thought!

Feast:
Reflections on a mythic beast,
Who's quite remarkable at least.
I never saw a purple COW
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you, anyhow
I'd rather see than be one.

fable:
Please understand it, if you're
able.
I'd never dare to walk across

Class Visits
Tribune Office

The journalism class had the
privilege, Friday, March 20, OF
visiting the Hardin Tribune
Herald office. They were shown
all the machinery and how it is
operated. All operations, from
the melting of metal to the
printed paper received every
Thursday, were explained.
The machines of special IN
terest were the ones that set
the type and the one that
prints the paper.
The class thoroughly enjoyed
going through the printing Of
flee. This gives them a better
understanding of what happens
to their written material.
The journalists appreciated
Mrs. Johnson's patience in the
explaining and showing of the
shop from top to bottom.

SHALL WE DANCE?

Everybody seems to want to
dance these days, even the
seventh and eighth graders.
Miss Seamans started the
idea, with the help of Mrs. Gene
Garner. They began by giving
the girls some pointers on ball
room etiquette which some of
us need badly. The different
dances they were taught were
the waltz and the foX-trot.
The girl students, after hav-
ing been taught to waltz and
f~ox-trot, are now permitted to
dance as they wish to the mu-
sic of the nickelodian, only to
be corrected at times.
MIR. Salyer's physical educa-
ton boys rebelled. They wanted
to be taught how to dance, al
so. So, MI Salyer rugged up"
an idea of having, to his esti-
nation, some of the best dane
ers (girls) come over on Fri
days and teach the boys a few
simple steps.
Everything seems to be work.

girls are apparently enjoying
themselves as much as the sew
