Perhaps not with the same level of released anticipation as that experienced by students (or maybe it is), the teachers and staff of Chinook School District celebrated their last day of school on Friday, May 24 with cake and punch in the Lloyd D. Sweet Auditorium at noon. The low-key gathering was meant to serve not only as a send-off for two long-time Chinook School District employees but also as a presentation of recognition from Montana's Office of Public Instruction.

Our Sweet Mother, Who Was Such a Blessing! My mom, Gladys (Rambo) Burkhartsmeyer was born with a smile on her face according to her older sister. She never lost her smile even though she wore many hats simultaneously. Mom played organ at the Catholic Church, sewed a lot of dresses for my sisters and me, taught piano out of our home, was on the road between Chinook and our ranch out south and was raising nine children. Whenever anyone asked her, “Why so many children?”, Mom would always smile and say, “What would I do without any one of them?...

Following the clean-up, hot dogs, nachos and bars were furnished by the Civic group. Soon the Harlem Main Street light poles will b...
