20 Years Ago May 24, 2001 S-B Top Ten Announced: Anne Dirkes; Amy Johnson; Anna Larson; Misty Leech; Nicole Lisecki; Jennifer Ambramczak; Debra Dawson; Ashley Lingen; Kristin Chwala; Tanya Kmieciak Miss Boyd candidates Laura Backhaus; Leslie Bourget; Julie Schuebel A Bee in the Hornet’s Nest Dave Boyea quoting Wilbur Bridgman on Memorial Day, from 1931: The day had its origin in recognition of the sacrifice

of the soldiers of the Union Army in the Civil War. The heritage that they gave us in return for their sacrifice is a

united country. Without the

sacrifice, this country would

have eventually been divided into two nations. One by one, the veterans of that war have passed until only a scattering few remain. They are symbols of a glorious national history. The soldiers of a later war have assumed the task of leading in a proper tribute to the surviving and the dead of the older generation. They do well to do this for they keep alive the estimate that a grateful nation should place on its soldiers. All too soon will come the day when others must keep alive the memories of the deeds of the World War. Who shall do it if the boys and girls of this generation (in 1931) are allowed to forget or are never taught that their fathers once held the honor of their country dearer than life.

100 Years Ago May 27, 1921 46 young people graduate;

Rev. Geo E. Griffiths of the

Presbyterian Church gives baccalaureate address on Sunday evening at eight o’clock, at the Lutheran Church.

Culbertson to Speak and Cavalry Troop to Parade; All Churches and Schools Participate The people of Boyd will formally observe Memorial Day on Sunday afternoon under the auspices of Walter Nelson Post No. 326, American Legion.

110 Years Ago May 27, 1911 INTER-CLASS TRACK AND FIELD MEET The boys of the High School have exerted their athletic interest this spring in track and field sports. The boys have

selected this work rather than

attempt to handle the financial

end of the management of a Base Ball team. A further thought in introducing the field athletics is that the few

weeks of school in the spring offers such a short career for a base ball team, while the participants in the track athletics may train, and then hold an inter-class contest for the various records at the end of the school year.

With this in view the boys in the several class of the H.S. have organized teams and will hold a meet Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at the Fair Grounds. A first in any one of the contest

counts 5 points , a second 3 points and a third place 1 point.

The class whose representatives win the most points, wins the meet. There is, furthermore, a prize up for the individual who wins the most points. The prize consists of a large Stanley Banner being offered by Mr. A. M. Berg. An admission fee of 25c will be charged.

The list of events in as follows: 100yd. dash; 220 yd. dash; 440 yd. dash; ½ mile run; 1 mile run; Relay races; High jump; Pole vault; Broad jump; Shot put; Discus throw; Hammer throw.
