THE STAFF
OBSERVES
WE'RE IN IT TOO!

Hardin high school has gone
to war! Now, if you've taken a
too liberal Interpretation of this
statement, you're probably pic
turing all of us in actual COM
bat fighting, but, regardless OF
how it compares with the grand
job of fighting that our boys
are doing on the battlefronts
all over the world, our school IS
ding its share in Winning the
war. Patriotism and a thorough
knowledge and understanding
of the present world conflict
are being stressed in many of
the classes, while other classes,
such as aeronautics, elementary
electricity, and the physical fit
ness program for the junior and
senior boys are not only teach
ing the students the fundamen-
tails of courses which they will
soon be called upon to study but
are also giving them valuable
experience in actual practice.
And, of course, no synopsis on
the work that we are doing
would be complete without a
statement concerning the sale OF
war bonds and stamps that has
met with such enthusiastic re-
Spouse from the students during
the last few months in par
ticular. The purchase of a jeep
and the privilege of naming it
seem to hold more than unusual
fascination for the students,
and it somehow makes the i'm
portance of buying war stamps
and bonds seem an even greater
reality. And would it not make
anyone proud to be a part of a
group which purchases such an
important instrument of var
fare as a jeep? Thus, it is no
small wonder that we are justly
proud of the part that we are
privileged to play in the VIM
ming of the war. Hardin high
school is but one of the many
cogs in the national machine
which composes our homefront,
and we have and will continue
to do our part in backing up our
boys who are so bravely fighting
for the better world of tomrrow
that is sure to come.

TO AN OVERSEAS ALUMNUS

Corporal June Swaby, who
was a graduate from Hardin
high school in 1889, has arrived
in North Africa with his COM
pany, after embarking from
New York.
After entering the armed for
ces, he received his primary
training at Gaeger field, Wash
ington. After completing his
training there, he was trans
ferred to Peoria, Illinois where
he attended a Diesel school.
Principal J. N. Thompson re-
calls that while June was in
school his father passed away,
and he continued to manage the
farm and do his school work,
both very successfully, and he
didn't miss much school to do it.
Dean" Salyer remembers him
as a student much interested in
manual training, and as being a
good student in this type of
work.
He was also active in FLA.
work, and it was through his
activities in this organization
that he attended a meeting OF
the state FLA. organization in
Bozeman.

STUDENTS RAISE
MONEY FOR JEEP
Reach Goal With Sl.038
In Bonds And Stumps

The goal to purchase enough
war stamps and bonds to buy q
jeep was reached this week
when the high school students
invested $1038.6 in government
securities. This jeep which costs
5000 will be named by the stu
dents and this name and who
purchased the jeep will be
stamped upon the machine be-
fore it is put into action.
The juniors have helped to in
crease these stamp sales by an
nouncing that the 1943 Prom
Queen will be elected by allow
ing the juniors and seniors to
cast a vote for the queen with
every ten cent stamp they buy,
and three votes for every twen-
ty-five cent stamps they buy.
Gayle hammers has been at
tributed with the honor of being
the person who has bought the
largest amount of bonds since
we started selling them in jan
uary, when last week he pur-
chased two 500 bonds. The pur-
chase of these bonds and pur-
chase of stamps and bonds from
other students have allowed us
to pay for one jeep.

Youth Urged To
Aid Form Labor

1.-The raising of Food and
Overcoming the Shortage OF
Farm Labor" was the topic dis
cussed by Mr.. Ralph F. Mowery,
representative of the Montana
Education Department through
the vocational department at
Bozeman, at an assembly on
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Mowery
stated that his purpose in Wis
iting our and other schools in
the state was to foster and pro-
mote the idea of recruiting
labor from among the ranks OF
high school students throughout
the state. We've got to raise the
food if we're going to eat, and 1
honestly believe that food will
be the thing that will win this
war" he said.
After the assembly, students
who were willing to lend their
services to this project talked
with Mr.. MoWery, and left their
names with Mr.. BordSon, men,
Der of the local County Labor
Board. 1t is imperative that all
students who sign up give their
name, age, weight, and the time
that they will be available for
work, so that this information
may be given to the local en-
ployment bureau or the county
agent who will be responsible
for the placement and the su-
pervision of these young people.

HURT TILL YOU BUY THEM

Recently a senior boy was OBJ
served repairing his watch. At
least he took it apart to see
how its parts worked. After a
lengthy period of time he fin
ally succeeded in locating the
position of each part.
To his sorrow, however, he
discovered that although he
knew where each part was loo
ated, it was practically impos-
sible to reassemble the watch.
Most of the parts were wheels
whose aXles had to fit into their
respective positions at the same
time. II the gears on one side of
the watch were in place the ones
on the opposite side would be
out of line. The watch could not
run because of only one part
which was not working.
Similarly, the cooperation OF
everyone in the war effort can
be compared to the parts of the
watch. If we are to win this war,
everyone must do his share 20
the coordination OF
effort so vital to the war pro-
gram. The students of Hardin
high school are an i~nseparable
link in the chain that prevents
this watch from falling. They
are as important to the war ef-
fort as the fighting man

with their study of different
cuts of meat, the class witnessed
the cutting of a beef at the Big

Browsing Around

Perky hammers Is going to be
the most popular boy in Big
Horn County from now on until
the prom queen is selected. The
juniors put on the prom every
year and they passed a motion
that for every twenty-five cent
war stamp bought the student
gets three votes on the queen he
wants. Porky hammers now has
nine thousand votes coming, for
he bought two five hundred dol
lar war bonds just recently. Well
girls, it is up to you; all you
have to do is make over Porky,
be seen with him a lot, and you
might get a big reward for it.
Porky, don't take all the girls
affections away, for some of the
other fellows want their share
of the admiration from the fe-
males, too.
CLASS FORMS DATE BUREAU
The drafting class has organ
lied a date bureau for the prom
and as a good example of a
good offer, the committee sub
mits the IDEAL" made with Doo-
ley Pauley, for whom it found a
"long-lost" date. A car is also
furnished. One of the boys bet
Dooley five dollars that he was
afraid to take them up on this
deal. The date bureau can't
furnish a car for everyone but
it will find a date TO you.
AERONAUTICS CALCULATOR
When the aeronautics class
was given a problem to find how
fast a person would fall to the
ground in a parachute Gayle
Lammers, after several minutes
of figuring, raised his hand and
said it would take twenty-five
minutes. After several minutes
elaboration Mr.. Collier said, Il
wouldn't want to be in that par
achute, if I were in the army,
for by the time I reached the
ground the raid would be over"
Not everybody realizes that ev-
cry parachute is issued in rela-
ton to the mans size in the ar
my paratroopers in order to
have complete coordination and
timing. The answer to the prob
lem was six minutes and several
seconds. You miscalculated some
place Porky.

On Parade

" Is he a glant?' might be the
thought that comes to your
mind as you meet six feet and
three inches of man, or Dooley
Pauley. During his whole high
school career, Dooley was es-
pecially interested in all sports
and he has played both football
and basketball. He has also
played the sousaphone in the
high school band for the past
six years. A~eronautics and
drafting are the subjects you'll
probably see him spending most
of his time on, for those are the
subjects that he's most interest
ed in. When asked what he
planned to do when school is
out, he stated that he wants to
join the Air Corps, and, with
the help of us all, will keep
En- Flying" for Uncle Sam!
Who'll make the posters?"
why, Ben, of course" The lat
ter is what you usually hear ar
ound school whenever there is
any art work to be done to ad-
Vertise any school activity, for
Ben PeaSe has become we'll
known not only for his ability
to play basketball but also for
his artistic talent. You'll usually
find Ben indulging in his hobby,
Sketcning. Ben has played foot
ball and basketball throughout
his four years of high school,
and he has excelled in both OF
them. Il plan to join some part
of the armed forces and after
that-well, let's get the war won
before we think of that was
the reply he gave to What are
your pOSt-graduatiOn planS?'
A typical Montana cowgirl is
Margaret Quest, Peg. She
plans to work on the Quest
ranch near Custer after school
is out, but her pet ambition is
to attend a nurses school in
Chicago. Peg likes to ride horse
back, but dancing is her favor
lite hobby. She said she had ev-
cry letter she had received since
she was in the first grade. She
liked MY Friend Flicka" better
than any other book she has
read. Pegs greatest thrill was,
in her own words, when my
dad gave me my first saddle
horse.
Are you kidding?" is the re-
Spouse Donald Mike Randall
gave to the inquiry as to what
his favorite subject is. He said he
does like aeronautics best
though. He is one of the best
liked boys of HIS, and his
manner reflects his happy-go-
lucky personality. Mike likes to
ride horseback, and this sum-
mer he plans to work at his
home near Kirby. He said his
pet ambition was to---raise pigs.
A sudden appearance, a
CHEEKY "hi-lo", and a gay smile
typify Colleen Ransier, whose
pet ambition is to be a dress de-
signer. Her future plans are
rather vague; she said, "Oh, I'm
going to go away" but she did
MT reveal her destination. Her
favorite sport is ice skating, and
sociology Is her favorite subject.
Colleen said her hobby is sort Oh
hard on restaurants it's COL
Letting restaurant butter plates.

at the front. Each students
job is to buy bonds and stamps
to help furnish the equipment
for our boys. The lack of one
tank at an advantageous spot
might cause the deaths of hun
dreds of our soldiers even if it
delayed the end of the war for
only a few hours.
Let us, therefore, keep in nina
that we should not only buy
bonds and stamps until it hurts,
but we should hurt until we buy
them!
