Description
Montana’s Big Timber Pioneer newspaper reported in 1938 that a new high school and attendant gymnasium were being constructed in the town of Harlowton:
“This structure is being financed by a $45,000 PWA grant and a $55,000 bond issue which was carried by a large majority at an election last September.”
The WPA also contributed to the project: “The gymnasium connected with the present high school building is being razed by WPA workers at a cost of $2,100.”
