10 years ago (1994)"Five H-BC Patriots were named to the 1994 Buffalo Ridge All-Conference team.

Maureen, a graduate of Moorhead State College has a degree in physical education and a coaching certificate.

They said the walleyes weren’t biting. They came home the day before the season opened as the cabins were taken for by hunters." 75 years ago (1929)"Kermit Kvien, who has been employed in the Stendal’s Shoe Co. store in Minneapolis, was laid off together with several others in that department. Kermit says the recent crash in the stock market is keenly felt in Minneapolis. The Foshay Co. laid off 600 employees, and the Heat Regulating Co. cut out 1,500 employees, likewise dozens of other big concerns. The going wage is around $15 per week, and hundreds are clamoring for jobs at this low salary. Kermit will visit his mother and brother here for a while." 100 years ago (1904)"In accordance with proclamations of the president of the United States and the governor of the commonwealth of Minnesota, today is Thanksgiving Day, and all who have anything to be thankful for are supposed to give thanks, which The Crescent hopes includes every individual in Hills and Rock County, and especially the people of Martin Township, who have been privileged to garner a good harvest, in fact, far superior to that harvested in other parts of the northwest. The people of Hills also have ample reason to give thanks. Our town has prospered as no town in this part of the state has prospered. Every working man who so desired has had steady employment; and if there are any who failed to keep busy it was not for the lack of opportunity to work. However, we cannot help but admit that Thanksgiving Day has been transferred from a day of thanksgiving and prayer to a gala day, in which the gridiron enthusiasts make a final bid for some sort of a championship. But everyone must scramble to keep up with the spirit of the time, and this afternoon will no doubt find The Crescent force down in Ole’s cow pasture with the Hills Giants."
