|Adieu To Hardin
High School

We, the class of Al, entered
Hardin high as freshmen four
years ago. To us it seemed a
very long time before we would
attain that cherished place of
seniors. Now we look upon those
four years as the shortest and
most pleasant of our school life.
Needless to say, now we regret
the lessons we shirked and the
times we diSpleaSed our teach
ers. But though we look back
upon these now with regret,
they are too late to remedy.
However. we have come up
from the ranks of freshman,
sophomore, and junior with a
bit more knowledge gained each
year. We wish to thank you,
Hardin high school. for the les
sons you have taught us, which
We can say were both easy and
difficult. We sincerely thank our
teachers for their helpful guild
ance throughout these years.
And now, as we go out of
school life into LIES school, we,
the class of 1941, bid you the
fondest farewell, and once again
we thank you for everything.

Seniors TGke A
Holiday April rs

Sneak Day is an annual cele-
bration of the seniors of Har-
din high school. It occurs, as a
general rule, during the month
of April. The object of the thing
is to sneak, literally, so that
no one is aware of what is hap
pening until some morning,
bright and early, it is discovered
that the entire senior class Is
absent.
This year the quaint old GUS
tome again took place. On the
morning of April IS, at 4 o'clock
the class of Al, together with
Mrs. Sibley, Mrs. Ross, Mrs. Bair,
Mr.. Thompson, Reverend Bent
ley, and Bud Harris, departed
for Tongue River canyon. After
their arrival, they climbed,
rolled, crawled, and jumped
through the much renowned
cave. Through some surprising
miracle, every senior came out
without acquiring anything
more serious than various black
-and-blue spots for souvenirs.
After this pleasure (O tour,
lunch was eaten with, naturally,
much relish, and the party then
set out for Sheridan, where the
afternoon was spent in various
ways.
Finally, a little worse for wear
and tear, they arrived again in
dear old Hardin = on = the = Big
Horn.
P. S. A good time was had by
all.

Mary Lou FruileY And
Betsy Ross Chosen
As Attendants

In a most unique setting in
the junior high gymnasium Fri
day night, May 2, the junior
class of Hardin high school hon.
ored the seniors at the annual
Junior Senior prom.
The theme was a night club
on a penthouse roof, with a
ceiling of dark blue streamers to
simulate the night sky and a
beautiful skyline Silhouetted
against the glow of distant city
lights. The night club was COM
plete with powder room, check
room, bar and elevator. The pro-
grams for the evening were Gle
yer little black and white top
hats.
Dancing to the music of Lar
ny Woods orchestra started at
9 o'clock after the grand march
led by the honorary junior
president, Clarence and his
partner, followed by the senior
president, Everett Bulls, and
his partner. At 10 O'Clock dane
ing was stopped for the crown
ing of the prom queen, who with
her two attendants had been
chosen by secret ballot of the
junior and senior classes on
Thursday morning, and whose
identity was known only to the
class sponsors up until the mo-
ment she appeared through an
orange hat box which was ad-
orned with champagne glasses
and bubbles of black.
The Prom Queen, Eleanor
Garvey, accompanied by her
two lovely attendants, Mary Lou
Frailey and Betsy Ross, was pre-
scented with a beautiful crown
of organdy orchids by Clarence
Jones, with little Miss Beverly
Terpening acting as crown bear
er. Immediately after the crown
ing, dancing was resumed, and
two great bags of balloons of ev-
cry color were released from the
ceiling and floated down over
the dancers.
During the intermission Bev-
erly Terpening and Rose Mary
Lewis presented a clever spec
ialty tap dance.
