10 years ago (1995)"After sorting through the bids for the four-plex apartment building, the Hills Economic Development Authority gave tentative approval for the project in a special session Saturday morning. The price tag on the project is $214,221. That figure does not include the cost of the land." 25 years ago (1980)"James Theis, a law student at the University of Minnesota, came home Saturday, March 22, to spend the spring quarter break at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Theis." 50 years ago (1955)"Two students from Hills High School have been honored by South Dakota State College for scholastic achievement and invited to attend Scholarship Recognition Day at State College Saturday, April 23. Receiving invitations for the event are Carolyn Scholten of Steen and Vermayne Sundem."75 years ago (1930)"Mr. and Mrs. T.T. Sundal, Misses Cynthia and Clarice, and Frederick Nuffer and Orly Nash autoed to Mankato last Sunday where Cynthia, Frederick and Orly Nash took a bus to the Twin Cities to resume studies at the Minnesota U. Mr. Sundal and family returned home the same evening." 100 years ago (1905)"The recent term of court was the first in which C.H. Christopherson appeared as county attorney and the net results are very satisfactory. Charles Benson of Ash Creek was indicted for running a gambling den; plead guilty to the charge and was fined $75. Aug. H. Reichman, who was indicted for running a blind pig at Kanaranzi, skipped out and his bondsmen contributed $200 to the county’s ‘cash on hand.’ As a whole it was a very satisfactory beginning to all lovers of law and order. If C.H. keeps up the good work so well begun, he cannot be pried out of the office of County Attorney with a crowbar, two years hence."
