Was anyone else impressed with the number of twins in the Havre High School Class of 1970? Maybe it was because they were such genuine people, such individuals.

As I recall, the five sets were: Gary and Tary Richardson, Mary and Martha Clancy, Daryl and Darla Smith, Sharon and Sharlotte Dorcheus and...

The 109-year-old Faber School at the Hill County Fairgrounds is a treasure trove of area history. It is full of turn-of-the century books, old-fashioned school desks and maps and a furnace that kept students in the 1920s warm from the Bear Paw Mountain winters. The one-room school was disassembled, moved to the fairgrounds and reassembled many years ago, and has been an attraction for history buffs. But it has been closed for some time because the roof is in disrepair. The H....

And work on the Sunnyside Intermediate School addition will begin early next week. That’s the word from Havre School Superintendent Andy Carlson.

That was the case Sunday at Legion Field in Havre when the North Stars hosted the Knights for a Northern District doubleheader. The Knights took game one with a final score of 5-4. But the North Stars bounced back nicely in game two, and took the nightcap 5-4. The...
