CLASS HISTORY

On september, D, 1891, ~
green Freshmen enrolled in
Hardin high school to embark
upon their High School Educa-
ton. They were the future Sen
ior of AS.
AS Freshmen the class of AS
were exceedingly green. The
first day of school they came
timidly through the portals Of
Hardin High, wondering if a di-
ploma could really be worth it.
At that time. being called to
the office was the most terrify-
ing event of all. With Miss
Kurtz and Miss Barlow as
sponsors, the class of As" be-
gan their journey with Roy
James as president. Those chos-
en- to assist him were Bill
Scally, vice president and Lola
bert Nelson, secretary treasurer.
Living up to the traditions OF
the school, they painted the H,
and without opposition. Next
came the mixer at which they
were thoroughly initiated and
after much suffering duly be-
came official members of H. H.
S. Time moved swiftly and af-
ter the months of hard work
were over the class journeyed
to Crow dam where they had
a picnic. Then came the end of
a busy year with tests and all
the books to be turned in, thus
the Freshmen welcomed sum-
mer vacation.
Again September came and
the class of as" trekked back
to school, now wise, worldly
sophomores. Sponsors were Mr..
Salyer and Mr.. Hegre. Those
elected to lead the class af-
fairs were Jack Warren, presi-
dent; Bill Scally, vice presi-
dent; Eunice Torske, secretary
treasurer and Mary Powers,
historian. The sophomores gave
the juniors, who won the bond
buying contest, a party at
which both classes had an en-
joyable time. The SophomoreS
were noted for their industry
and their grades. In fact. their
ambition at times lead them to
copying from the answer book.
Anxious to get to class Why,
they got there in nothin flat!
After the winter snow had
come and gone away spring was
again in the air, inspiring them
to 60 on a class picnic to Black
Lodge Falls, where they went
swimming, gorged themselves
on food and had a very merry
time.
As usual, vacation came and
went and again it was time to
return to school. The class of
rs" were now juniors, and
were the most carefree ever to
dash through the hall of Har-
din high. You could often see
them lounging about, Utter
bugging and showing that they
hadn't a care in the world.
Their goal-that of graduating
was not far off. The class was
competently led by Jack War
rem, president; Lois Cass, vice
president; Lena Young, secre-
tary-treasurer and Eugene Deb
merit, historian. Sponsors were
Mr.. Salyer and Mrs. Preston.
That portion of the junior
year which was constantly look
ed forward to, rapidly ap-
preached. The class was priv
iledged to entertain the SEN
iors with the annual Junior
Senior banquet and prom held
May IL, 1914. Stars glittered
through a sky of deep blue
crepe paper, carrying out their
theme of "Stardust''.
In September of 1914 the 80
members of the class of as"
returned for the last time to
H. H. S. They were now the
mighty and sophisticated SEN
Tors. In four years they had
changed from green freshmen
to men and women of the ut
most poiSe and ability. Francis
GustafSon was chosen to lead
the class Through this victorious
year, with Lois Cass as vice
president, Clara Pitsch as Sec
retary-treasurer and LIE size
Dumler, historian. Able spon-
Sors were Mr.. Salyer and Miss
Helen Chisholm.
The seniors put on a mixer
a nd reigned supreme, and
there they duly inflated the
sophomores. The class of as"
was well represented in sports
and extra curricular activities,
and presented their Senior class
play, a comedy in three acts,
on April. The experienced SEN
Tor football team encountered
Coach Cottam's next year team
defeating them 300. On May 81
the day which had been eagerly
awaited by the seniors, came
sneak day. At 4:30 am. they
betook themselves to the great
outdoors for a day of eating,
climbing, exploring and gener-
al activity. Events followed
quickly. They were guests of |
honor at the Junior senior ban
zuet and prom on May IL. On
