miss Bishop, by Bess Sire
eter Aldrich, is the story of a
woman who devoted her entire
life to teaching at MidWestern
College, and to helping students
enrolled there. Her life would
have been most unhappy if she
had not had strength of char
acter to make herself a sue
cess in spite of almost endless
troubles.
The book tells of three gener-
atlons of college students at
MidWestern, from Miss Bishop
to her adopted daughters child.
Although it does not take
place during modern times, the
book is not dry or old fashioned
because it is well written.
There is a motion picture
called CHEERS for Miss Bishop,
which is adapted from this book
1t is best described as a story
Of feminine Mr. Chips, and
is supposed to be very good.

Government Token
Over By Students

Last Friday afternoon hist
DRY repeated itself. A great
empire fell.
Ed BearsS. noted radical, aid
ed by the students of H. H. S.,
overthrow the school govern
ment in one great coup d. etat
During fifth period, Friday, a
bell rang.
Grover Dunlap stopped talk
ing to Pauline, the shorthand
class stopped suffering, and
every freshman swallowed his
gum in excitement. 1t was the
signal for the raid.
The weather was ideal. A
cloud burst occurred as the bell
rang; so the students floated
the teachers out ON RATS, and
took over the building.
Walking on the ceiling to
keep from getting wet, Ed Bea-
rss directed the whole procedure
while his faithful abettor, Pam
ella Lane, crawled behind him
taking notes for an article in
the Big Horn.
The students waded around
throwing books at each other
until finally Barney Sibley wa.
sent home to get his tricycle.
and rescue everybody.
The o. P. o. provided suckers
for freshmen who were crying
for their mamas.
In one corner of the school
was heard moaning and groan-
ing. Upon closer inspection it
proved TO be Bill Wilson whose
permanent had gone kinky.
When the flood subsidized this
morning, the new leader took
over his duties. He appointed
Pamela Lane, prime minister,
and created a Child Welfare
Bureau.
"We have so many seniors
to take care Of, said the prime
minister when explaining about
the newly created agency.
When asked what would be
his next ruling, MI. BearSs said,
I'm going to impose an inter-
nal revenue tax. I have to have
a car"
It's all in fun, folks.
April fool.

It was eight o'clock. The
mice were asleep; so were the
freshmen. The sophomores were
at home studying; the juniors
we're out, and the seniors were
scattered all over the country.
Only one living person was in
school, Miss Leikvold, the Home
&c. teacher, was going over
seams, buttonholes, biscuits, sal
ads, etc. that her students had
made.
It was quite eerie. The vene-
tian blinds moved, the table got
jumpy, and shadows walked a
round. After a while so did
Miss Leikvold.
Her soul was in her shoes, and
her heart was in her mouth.
In fact her whole system, in
Guiding her stomach was slig-
htly disarranged.
A sudden thirst came upon
her. She walked to the door
slowly, cautiously. Her black
hair stood on end, but she era
we'd a drink.
She went on.
She looked under the tables,
half expecting to find Sonny
Heckenlively or Sammy Haver-
field being BURGERS. She found
nothing.
She went to the cupboard,
took a glass, and went to a sink.
She dropped the glass, fell under
the sink and tainted.
There in the sink lay the
corpse of Mary Lind. She was
attired in a bib on which was
written in lipstick;
I made some food,
I ate some food,
Now I am food
For worms!
Well, not really. It's April
fool you know.

Student Corresponds
With Western Poet

It was through a project in
public speaking in western
poets, writer's and music lovers,
that Waunetta Eckroy came to
correspond with Montana Bill,
a western poet froom Miles City.
Waunetta wrote to him to see
if he was a writer of western
songs. In his return letter he
said that he is not a writer OF
songs, but at one time was a
singer of them. He added that
he has made a collection of song
in book form (not yet publiShed)
called. 1.-THE Saga of the Sad
dle," and THE West as it Was,
Ia true history of the West and
its cowboys.
Montana Bill remarks. IF
you ever see it in print or book
form it will pay you to read 1T,
for it gives a true history of the
West, my actual experiences
from Texas to Montana. 1t in
cludes dates, and names of those
who were actually there. and
rode with me-"
This book contains the true
history of the x I T cow-outfit
the largest COW ranch in the
world. It's western fence line
along the New Mexico border
was 265 miles long. They owned
$500, 900 acres of land, covering
ten counties in west Texas.
It was of interest to note that
it was Waunetta's mother, the
former Goldie Lewis of Fallon,
who taught Montana Bill to
dance in the good old days,
as Montana Bill relates it.
It is indeed fortunate to have
such a friend, and we are sure
Waunetta will enjoy the privi-
lege of corresponding with. him.

APRIL FOOLS DAY

L ktAA4
AL Fools Day, commonly kno-
wn as April Fools Day In this
country because it is observed
on the first day of April. has
been for many centuries the
day when it is considered right
to make fools of all people by
sending them on pointleSs er-
rands or by making them the
victim of other practical jokes.
There are several theories "a
bout the origin, the most pro-
bable being that it came from
some Pagan festival. 1t has
been traced back to early France
where the unlucky one was cal
led an April fish, probably from
the reopening of the fisheries
at this season, and to antique
Scotland where he was called a
gowk or cuckoo. 1t seems to
have been unknown in Germany
in ancient times, and according
to Grimm, was introduced from
France in comparatively mod
ern times.
But in the present day it Is
quite generally observed in Eur
ope and America and is endured
with varying degrees of appreci-
alton by a long suffering adult
population.

The most startling fact at

students enrolled in Hardin Hi,
1873 are getting DIS, incompletes,

their grades for the coming six

The MeadoWlark

The merry little meadowlark
With his voice so Shriu
Hovers over plains and valleys
HoverS on the hill
And in the dawn of springtime
When everything is still
Just to hear his CHEEKY voice
Gives your heart a thrill.
Then all through the summers
heat
You hear his voice resounding
With every note so clear and
sweet
He sets your heart to- pounding
And in the golden autumn,
When leaves are failing to the
ground,
The lark sings out his last $50
long"
Before his journey southwark
bound.

SIDE CHANCES

There comes a time when even
some teachers attitudes need
shaking up. There are some
teachers who classify a student
as an A., B, C, D, or F student
at the beginning of the year.
and no matter how hard a stu
dent tries he cannot get out OF
the rut. More credit should be
given for effort.
Speaking of attitudes----when
the majority of the student body
feels that a school organization
is not what it should be, then
it's time for a hoW-down.
A pain in the neck are those
students who are continually
complaining about no school
activities; "everything'S deader
than dead, and then when there
is a school dance, they don't
come.
More pains in. the neck are
those babies and budding artists
who scribble all over the bulle-
tin board. This has made it nee
essary to put the board under
lock and key. .
The mystery of the year is
the vanishing of silence of the
student council. It's wanted
dead or alive, preferably alive,
THRU MY GOGGLES
Don't get impatient-spring is
rushing toward us at the ter
rifle speed of "a hours a day.
Too many people in this world
are content with doing only
their duty. Do more than your
duty. Remember, it's the horse
that finishes a neck ahead that
wins the race. .
It is evident that we must
work if we hope TO accomplish
anything. But we must have
courage and initiative. Run
ming 10 others for suggestions
means weakening our own abb
lily to see what should be done.
Yes, the world is full of people
who can use their hands, but
mot their heads.
Your best is none too good to
put into your work every day.
Don't be a knocker. You are
part of this institution so don't
condemn it. Not that your con-
domination will injure the in
Stitution, but when you knock
that which you belong you are
disparging yourself.
We've noticed that there are
some folks who will quit if they
think their friends aren't get
ting a square deal. This is
foolish, for the chances are you
don't know both sides of the
story. Besides, everyone has
plenty of troubles of his own
without borrowing some from
others. A bit of good advice to
follow is to tend to your own
business and let the other fell
low do the same.
Oh, how we do appreciate per-
sons who are always on time!
How quickly we learn to depend
on them, and how soon we find
ourselves entrusting them with
more important matters. Peo-
pie who have acquired a rep
utation for being on time have
the first contribution to that
which makes success after years
a certainty.
