JANITOR AND JANITORESS
(Picture of Phyllis and Butch missing)
These are our faithful cleaner-uppers who because of our many
Moments of cheerful carelessness have had to toil many long hours, sweeping dust
covered floors, picking up wee pieces of paper, candy wrappers, orange peelings,
and remnants of what was once pencils and ink spattered floors. Then there were
those pet mice that had to be herded and corralled. We sincerely hope
that the above will find it within their power to forgive us
for our thoughtlessness and taking-things-for-granted.

TEACHER, CAN I BE EXCUSED? 12
SENIOR CLASS WILL
Ladies and gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendents, Teachers and friends.Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1941 of Hartland High School of the City of Hartland, State of North Dakota, USA, I have called you together upon this solemn andserious occasion to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dyinghand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. We have tried to be verygenerous and impartial, so everyone will receive a small gift.
Listen then, one and all, while I read the document as duly drawn up and sworn to:
8/6/2019 Hartland HiLites 40-41 1997-2003
15/100
We the class of 1941, in six individual and distinct parts, being of about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of crammed mind, well trained memory, andalmost super human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will andtestament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises made by us.
There are certain debts which our class owes. First of all we owe our teachers a greatdeal of thanks for cramming our minds with foolish ideas, and next we owe thanks toour parents who have sent us to school.
Article I -- To the juniors we leave our desks and request that they share with their tacksthe honor of filling them; also, to this unworthy herd, we leave our position by thewindows so that they will take more panes with their work, our orderly class meetingsand our unique individuality.
Article II -- In addition to these generous gifts, we give to the other students our individual offerings. Marlowe Erickson wills to Roy Assels the ability to keep quiet; healso wills his ability in basketball to Selmer Norgard (He needs IT). Yvonne McKenziegives her good looks and pleasing personality to Gail Solem and Violet Vedvig. GraceNorgard leaves to Mae Johnson her many giggles, hoping she will take care of them.Grace would also like to will the position of valedictorian to Mabel Vangsness. InezSkinningsrud gives to Richard Norgard her big, beautiful, blue eyes and her position of being the shortest on in the class. Glenn Vangsness wills to Floyd Stockdill and Ralph

Kolloen and to Selmer Norgard he gives his pleasing personality. Lloyd Peterson willsto Gerald Norgard his extra sense which enables him to get by with all his mischief. Healso gives to Loren Kolloen his ability to get along with the girls without getting his faceslapped.
Having given away all these treasures which we will no longer need, we affix the seal onthis twenty-ninth day of May in the year of 1941.
Signed, SENIOR CLASS
SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
In the early part of September in the 1937, seven young enthusiastic and excitedfreshmen entered this institution to receive knowledge and wisdom. And as they didenter this institution of learning they were received with much welcoming with which thesophomores were very generous. This class together with the others and long-sufferingteachers lead them through the first slippery way along the by-ways of.
In the fall of 1938, we entered school with a brighter outlook and with the sincereintentions of studying. The boys as well as the girls took part in extra-curricular activities and go well grounded in the rules and regulations of the school. The junior year rolled around --- and of course we must give a play. After we had the books, andthe first act learned, we decided on a basket social instead. The proceeds from thishighly successful venture were used in playing hosts to the seniors on a trip toBismarck. Nuf said!
At the beginning of the fourth and last year, they found that they had been finallyhonored with the title Seniors. They again found a change in teachers, and lost one of their classmates, Lorraine Buttedahl, who moved to Seattle, Washington. This year wedid present the play, Look Out, Lizzie, which people who saw it said was good. At thebasketball tournament, two of our class brought honors to us Lloyd

Peterson winning the free-throw contest, and Marlowe Erickson being chosen as an All-Star player. We went to Bismarck again this year for our Skip Day trip, but we did havesome new experiences over last year; such as, going up for our first airplane ride,talking over the radio, visiting the Truax-Traer coal mine at Velva, the old Ft. Lincoln,and the Bad Lands on our return.
All in all Hartland High School is losing a wonderful class when they graduate the Senior Class of 1941, and no one realizes it quite as much as we. Besides the manyaccomplishments of the members so far, we all have latent talents which we hope willbe developed in the near future.
SENIOR CLASS PHOPHECYAs I resting from my days work on a park bench I was surprised to see lying on theground the Hartland Daily News, dated July 30,1951. To my surprise and amazementthe headlines were: Nuts from the Nuthouse voted the most popular radioprogram.This headline puzzled me until I read the rest of it. Lloyd Peterson and GlennVangsness, my inseparable classmates of Hartland High School, had developed their friendship into a business proposition, a radio program. Glenn pilots his own plane andLloyd is his mechanic. Glenns hobbies are taking candid pictures of Lloyd and hismany girl friends.
As I glanced on page two of the Hartland News, I noticed my boat friend, Inez
Skinningsrud, had fulfilled her wish of owning a cattle ranch in New Mexico. She enjoyscooking for the cowboys and her hobbies are collecting rattles from Rattle snakes andbreaking wild horses. I was surprised to see that Marlowe Erickson had won theOscar award for being the best actor in Hollywood. I never would have thought thatbashful Marlowe would win such an honor. His hobbies are sailing in his yacht andvisiting the zoo.
Grace Norgard lives in a penthouse in New York City on Fifth Avenue. She enjoysgiving parties and balls for charity. In private life she is the script writer for the Amos nAndy program. Her hobbies are visiting the night clubs and raising frog legs for her society friends.

Yvonne McKenzie is an air stewardess on the Northwest Airlines. She makes a roundtrip to Liverpool, England to San Francisco in twenty-four hours. She has quite aprofitable hobby, collecting gold from old false teeth. She spends her vacations on
Inezs cattle ranch.I really am thankful I happened to see that newspaper, because now I know the futureof my classmates of 1941.

The handsome city slicker, Mr. Biltmore, almost disrupted an altogether peaceful ruralfamily group. But as all good mellodramers end, he turned up to prove himself thehero instead of the villain, making possible two happy marriages and a comfortableexistence for the old folks, who might live happily ever after on the homesteadmortgage-free.

SOPHOMORE HISTORYA group of seven green freshies entered Hartland High School in the year of 1930,consisting of five boys and two girls. Although having to endure many hardships anddifficult study, the class enjoyed its first year immensely. At the beginning of the year we elected our class officers and held meetings regularly throughout the year. Whenthe school year was well under way and we were becoming better acquainted with our
upper-classmen, the sappy sophomores got the bright idea of initiating us. We pulledthrough initiation better than our superiors expected, and then we were full-fledged highschool students.
As sophomores we feel as though were as important as any of our upper classmen.One of our beloved class members has left us, however, the ever-smiling chap, RalphHagen. At the present time he is enrolled in a CCC camp in Minnesota.
The sophomores play an active part in the school activities. They are popular membersof the glee club, pep squad, basketball and kittenball teams. Little by Little theyremaking themselves indispensable

HAPPINESS
Who seeks afar for happiness will find it not.
It stands a guest unheeded at the very door today.
Open thine eyes to see, thine ears to hear
Thy heart to feel

FRESHMAN HISTORYIn September the freshman class went from a class of seven to six jolly fellows. Beforeinitiation class membership dwindled down to three girls, Eveline Rostad moved toCarpio where she enrolled, Clarence Struckness moved to Berthold, quit school and
joined the Gs, was Loren Thompson frightened by being the only boy left among threefemales, he dropped out and is now helping at home.
Initiation week the freshman came to school just as happy and full of mischief as ever.Everyone laughed at their overalls worn back-to-front and accessories to match. Itbecame quite a temptation to the juicy potato tied around their neck, and by the time theweek was over, the potato had been previously devoured. We have never quiterecovered from the wearing gobs of paint the wrong way.
The three freshmen girls have maintained their exuberant reputation all through the ninemonths of school as the most quiet and obedient class in Hartland history this has beencopied word for word from history without complementary distance.

One of the nicest projects carried on by the room, that is; the first and second graders, was themaking of the American flag out of small squares of paper folded so as to give a waffly effect.
During the course of the year we lost two students and gained one. Adele Mae Lawson moved awayand Herbert Norgard returned to his home in South Dakota, while Delores Ann Erickson moved intoHartland from the school west of town. The total number in the room the greater part of the year wasthirteen.

This year a basketball session was marked by definite success, even though our teamplaced third in the tournaments. All games were well fought, with a fine display of basketball knowledge throughout. Regardless of gains or losses, the team worked withfine spirit through out the year, and a great deal of credit is due the coach, Mr.Anderson. Marlowe Erickson, one of the outstanding players on the team, was unableto play in a greater share of the games because of an attack of pneumonia early in theyear which left him in a weakened condition for about two months. However, he wasable to play in the tournament, and together with Loren Kolloen, was chosen as analStar player. Lloyd Peterson won the free-throw contest at the tournament, sinking 20out of 26 throws.

the games were over. They obtained money for transportation by selling lunch at thehome games and this year sponsoring, with the boys, a basket social. Their presidentwas Yvonne McKenzie and their treasurer, Violet Vedvig. Grace Norgard served assecretary. Violet and Gail were cheer leaders the first half of the season, Yvonne andInez the last half. The girls had a bit of trouble deciding on uniforms but they finallyagreed on blue corduroy skirts, red crew-necked sweater, white shirts, and red campussocks. Outside of their regular yelling activities, the girls performed at one of the homegames by a flashlight drill, which was really colorful. Everyone was proud of this fineorganization and the girls themselves had a lot of fun belonging.

SCHOOL CARNIVAL
This attraction for the purpose of raising funds for school activities and equipment was agreat success. A program consisting of an orchestra number, a few short skits, therhythm band and the girls Glee Club was first presented. Then the annual carnivalattractions such as booths, popcorn and candy, funny hats, bingo, hot dogs, pie andcoffee followed. Proceeds were used for purchasing the duplicator which made this
annual possible, and for paying part of the cost of a new set of Comptonsencyclopedias.
BASKET SOCIAL
This social sponsored by the girls Pep Squad and the boys basketball team was wellattended. After the short program came something of interest to all the basketauction, with our indispensable Kenneth Johnson as auctioneer. The triple basketbelonging to Gail, Grace, and Violet won first prize as being the nicest decorated. Theproceeds helped transport the girls to the games and to buy warming jackets for theteam.
INITIATION
Almost fruitless was the long search carried on by the blood thirsty sophs for thetimorous freshie girls the night of initiation. Not able to hold out against the threatsscreamed into the darkness by their superiors they finally consented to go through withthe ordeal. After a fast ride down the stairs culminating on the gym floor with a plungebare feet first into an icy pan of water, the girls were led on the delicacies createdaccording to the wild recipes of the sophomore boys. When led into the center of acircle of spectators they nobly put on a little program of their own. When the sophsdecided to grant mercy they brought on some really fine vittles and everyone wenthome tired from games and full from overeating. (By the way, the freshies had a bit of
company in their misery, because this also happened to b the night of Kenny andEmmas chivari and they were brought in to partake of the punishment with the girls).

AMATEUR HOUR
The Amateur Hour was sponsored by the juniors to raise money to play hosts to theseniors on Skip Day. Unfortunately, the weather man decided that this was the day for rain with the result that the roads were muddy and kept many people away. Therewere eight numbers on the program, six of which were vocal solos. First prize went toRichard Norgard for his song, Soldier Boy. Second and third prizes went to theCarpio Baton Twirlers and Arlene Larson, respectively. Participation in games and
lunch followed. And last of allsomething all enjoyedthe Grand March, led by Supt.Riebs and Mrs. Rieb of Carpio.
PTA
The Parent Teachers Association met regularly every month in the school building,with Mrs. Selmer Hovland presiding as president. This year this group affiliated withthemselves with the national organization. The objects of the association are: topromote the welfare of children and youth, to raise the standards of home life, tosecure adequate laws for the protection and care of youth, and to bring into closer relation the home and the school. As a project of material benefit to the school, thePTA this year helped pay for the new set of encyclopedias. The final formal meeting
of the year resulted in a re-election of Mrs. Hovland as president, Mrs. ArchieThompson vice-president, and Lois Young secretary-treasurer. The picnic whichconcludes the school year is under the auspices of the local PTA, also.
SKIP DAY
Six senior, five juniors, three teachers, and a wife went skipping to Bismarck May 9and 10. The first stop was the Truax-Traer mine at Velva, where the party was shownaround the entire mine by a most gracious guide. Covered with coal dust, they arrivedat the Capitol City in time to eat lunch at the Capitol Cafeteria. The other events of theday included a thorough sight-seeing tour of the capitol, museum, penitentiary, and Ft.Lincoln. The seniors treated themselves to their first airplane ride, while everyoneenjoyed inspecting the big bomber, and the passenger planes which landed while theywere at the field. Supper outdoors at the cabins and a show ended Friday. Saturdaythey visited the bakery, old Ft. Lincoln, and the Training School, coming home viaRichardson, Elbowwoods and north. Oh, I forgotseveral of the students talked over the radio thrilling the home folks with their wit. All in all it was a plenty grandexperience for every participant.

We sincerely hope that this annual even though it is the schools first will accomplish itspurpose which is that it shall serve as a reminder of the year 1940-1941 to the students,present and past.
The project of publishing was a novel undertaking and at first, even after tasks wereassigned and the staff thoroughly organized, we had only a hazy idea of the workinvolved.
Any success that may be due this annual is to be credited to the tolerant advisors,cooperative staff, and the people outside of school who have helped in any way.

SPORTSMANSHIP
Sportsmanship is something that every person should strive for, especially high schoolstudents. One can be a good sportsman in the following ways; by always doing as told;being polite to fellow-students and teachers; by being honest at all times; by alwaysdoing ones best; by being friendly to everyone; by trying to work all the harder after afailure has been suffered.
Some students are good sportsman while others are not. It usually follows that thestudents with good sportsmanship receive the high marks, while the poor sportsmanreceive the low marks.
I believe that some persons are born with certain sportsman like qualities, while othersare not. The ones with the poorer sportsmanship should not be forced to do somethingthat seems almost impossible for them to do as they will then become so aware of their inferiority along that certain line that they will develop an intense hatred for that thing.Of course, they should try to overcome their inferiorities, if possible.
We can all try to be polite and attain some success. Above all, whether in work or play,the student should be honest. From childhood to old age this principle is stressed. If everyone were honest, we would not have any need for many reform institutions. Weshould all try to do our best, especially in school work. We can always try to have our lessons prepared and to be courteous while in class, so as to benefit ourselves bylearning more. After we have worked very hard and realize that it is all ended in failure,we should strive all the harder and not give up as many do.
8/6/2019 Hartland HiLites 40-41 1997-2003
64/100
By practicing sportsmanship now, we influence our future careers. In almost everyoccupation, much good sportsmanship is required. Unless one is willing to do his bestand to sacrifice much for the general public, he will not satisfy the people around him,whether in the home or serving as the President of the United States.

DINNERTIME
The noon bell rings. Students throw books into their desks and slam the drawers shut.When the teacher says, youre dismissed theres a mad rush for dinner pails followedby a dash down the stairs to the lunch room. (Do you wonder why everyone is in such ahurry: Ill give you the main reason. For at least a half hour the aroma of vegetablesoup has been floating through the air.) Everyone grabs a cup and tries to be the first toget his. Then you hear shouts such as these: Wheres the salt? Pass the pepper,please, and I havent got a spoon! With everyone taken care of temporarily, the roomquiets down. The girls usually eat more slowly and quietly, because they haventbasketball on their minds as do the boys. Twenty minutes after twelve you hear murmurs of, Oh, Im sooo full! and Gee, that was swell soup. Can I have somemore? Such is the everyday occurrence in our school with Alice Mehus as chief disher-upper and bottle (?) washer.

We, the citizens of the United States, should support our country and be loyal to it.Some of the many ways we can show our loyalty and good citizenship are: be patriotic,know the laws of our country, take part in the voting, uphold our American ideals.
We, American citizens, should be patriotic. We should know the national patrioticsongs and the pledge to the flag. But, if is not enough to know these things. We mustform the habit of doing these things by practice. Do not be afraid or ashamed to salutethe flag or stand when the national anthem is being played. We should be proud thatwe live in a free country. Why not let everyone know it?
We cannot expect to be loyal American citizens if we do not know the laws of our country. We cannot enforce or abide by the laws when we have not heard of them. Weshould study books and pamphlets that contain them. We cannot take an active part atthe polls if we do not understand the laws. Many people who do not vote kick at thegovernment. These kids of people do not have a right to give their opinions of our government.
If everyone tried to improve and uphold our American ideals, just think of what a better America we would have! But many of the citizens have not heard of our ideals. Somany of these kinds of people who indulge in crime and low forms of work are loweringour American standards. Let us, the true Americans, try to rid our America of theseevils.
Come on Americans! Let us try to make our country a better land in which to live: a
true American, land of OPPORTUNITY!

WHY DID THE CROWD CHEER?
This question is asked first by a person who understands the game, but had not been
paying attention. It is answered:
Oh, what a wonderful play! The center forward passed the ball to the left forwardand he passed it to the right forward. John made a left-handed shot while he was over-guarded by his opponents. It was perfect teamwork!

The question is asked by a 1 year old child who doesnt know much about the game butis very interested. It is answered thus:
The man in the green shirt passed the ball to No.5 and he passed it to No.3, who madea basket while the two men in white shirts were watching him so closely that it wasalmost impossible for him to shoot. Good teamwork is one of the things one shouldwork for, Tommy. One must also be able to think quickly, because much of the successof your playing depends on how quickly one moves.
The same question is asked by one of the mothers who does not understand the game,but came to watch her son play. It is answered:
You see, Mrs. Johnson, the player with No.7 on his suit threw the ball to No.5 and hepassed it to your son, who made a basket while the Foxholm players were overguardinghim.

THE AUTOBIOGRPHY OF A FLYI was born in a garbage can along with my brothers and sisters. It is lucky for
me that the garbage man was lazy that day, because if he werent I wouldnt be here totell my story.
My childhood stages were uninteresting. In fact, my life didnt really begin until Ibecame a winged fly as you see me now. My daylight activities were mainly hunting for food, which was very difficult because I had to crawl. Now I am able to see the world

very easily. Most of my time is spent flitting about the house. My greatest worry is thefly executor, the swatter.
The biggest amusement I have is riding around on Mr. Jones bald head. Itmakes me laugh to see him waste so much time and energy trying to shoo me off. Of course, I am always too quick for him. Ive been teasing him for three weeks now andhe hasnt caught me yet. Mr. Jones is taking a nap so I am able to rest my weary wingswithout fear of being disturbed. He is beginning to wake up now and it is time for me toscram. Oh-oh! I didnt move fast enough, and now I am laying crushed and broken, avictim of the swatter.

The last meeting of the admirable club opened by a report of the standingrefreshment committee, who afraid of the $1 fine, handed out suckers to the members.A motion was made that because of the fine quality of the art belonging to Mr. FloydStockdill, he be sent to the art exhibition in Philadelphia to represent our club. Everyoneagreed, even to the amendment to the motion that Ralph be sent also to look after our eccentric artist and be sure that he got to his destination. However, a hitch occurred inthis admirable proposal when after a report of the treasurer, we found that the treasurywas quite dry. Several suggestions for raising money were offered; such as, teaching aclass of appreciation of art to our less fortunate underclassmen, and charging a rather high fee for the instruction; Holding an exhibition of the art of the members with anadmission charge; selling works of art to the school for decorative purposes. However,nothing came of all the discussion so someone moved that the original motion be laidon the table. The motion was moved, seconded, discussed and carried unanimously,that our club receive recognition in the school yearbook. The meeting was adjourned bythe chairman who felt the necessity of along drink of water to wash down the stickinessadhering to the inside of his throat, an after effect of the report of the refreshmentcommittee.
Respectfully submitted,
An interested bystander.

MAYBE
Mr. Fossum: Which is the most useful, the sun or the moon?
Roy: The moon, of course.
Mr. P: Why do you say that:
Roy: Well, the moon shines at night when we need the light, and the sun shines in thedaytime when we dont need it.

Elaine: Did they find you?
Alta: Who?

Says the hat to the hatrack, You stay here. Im going on a head.
EO SUCKER
Mr. Fossum: Last week while I was fishing at Lake Darling, I felt a jerk on my line, andwhen I pulled it out---there was a bass three feet long.
Mr. Anderson: Thats nothing. I was fishing in the river and pulled out a lantern thatwas still burning.
Mr. P: Do expect me to believe that one?
Mr. Alt: You two back off your fish stories and blow my lantern out.

CURRENT ETTIQUETE
In the sophomore English class, Miss Young was discussing etiquette. After the
lecture she asked Loren how he would ask a girl for a dance. Loren re plied, Come onworm, squirm.
Socks give way at heel and toe,
Shirts fray at the cuff,
Pants grow shiny in the seat,
Shoes go soon enough.

Underwear disintegrates,
Coats cant stand the tests,
Yet in twenty winters you
Cant wear out a vest.
UNNATURAL HISTORY
Floyd: Mr. Fossum, did you ever hear a rabbit bark?
Mr. F: Rabbits dont bark.
Floyd: Then this biology book is wrong. It sassy that rabbits eat cabbage and bark.
MAYBE ITS FUN
Yvonne: Do like Kipling?
Dolores: I dunno. How do you kipple?
Miss Young: Selmer, explain what a hypocrite is.
Selmer: A hypocrite is a kid who comes to school with a smile on his face.
SURPRISED
The Speech class was having exercises in coordinating gestures with the spoken word.Yvonne, who had been rather preoccupied, was taken aback when Miss Young dictatedthis one to her: You get out of here, and I dont care if you never come back.Whereupon Yvonne meekly said, Should I go right now?

Some men smile in the face of death
While others only frown;
But the man worthwhile is the man
With a smile
When his garters coming down.
Miss Young: Why is it, Floyd, that you always chew gum in school?

Lloyd, muttering in his beard while browsing around for a suitable poem to recite for Speech. Broke out with a bit of verse:
Some people are poets, but dont know it,
And they dont show it, except by their feet---
Theyre Longfellows!

THIS REALLY HAPPENED
Mr. Fossum was discussing in hygiene class the fact that tricycles and bicycleswere not allowed on the sidewalks in some towns because of the danger to pedestrians.To illustrate he related a tragedy about which he had heard saying, I once read of alittle boy who was riding down the sidewalk on his tricycle and stripped his mother. If this was a tragedy, it didnt have the effect of one on his class for they greeted thestatement with peels of laughter. When he recovered from his embarrassment and wasable to make himself heard over the din, he explained that his tongue slipped andadded an s to the front of the word that he actually intended to say.

LIFE
Babies are born without any hair,
Old mens heads are just as bare,
twixt the cradle and the grave,
Lies but a haircut and a shave.

I sneezed into the air:
It fell to earth, I know not where,
But hard and cold were the looks of those
In whose vicinity it snoze.

Let poets sing their lilting song,
And gaily smite their lyre;
Give me the man who whistles when
Hes putting on a tire.
The columns done, my brains are dead
Ill wind the clock and go to bed.

The busy little bees they buzz,
Bulls bellow and cows moo,
Watchdogs bark, ganders quack,
And doves and pigeons coo.
The peacock spreads his tail and squacks,
Pigs squeal and robins sing,
And even serpents know enough
To hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
That Nature could devise,Will often stop and hesitate
Before hell advertise.
