t S! Seniors Spend Sneak Day At Dunes Almost 386 Seniors sneaked away early May 4, to the Indiana State Dunes. They wore everything from ber- mudas to cut-offs, and carried any- thing from food to footballs. Sneak Day ' s objective is to have the day come as a complete surprise to teachers and underclassmen, however, this rarely ever happens, and this year was no exception. When the buses landed, Seniors went flying in all directions. Some went to the beach area and others rwent to scale the sandy heights of the big blow- outs. Girls could be seen wringing the icicles from their clothing after being thrown in Lake Michigan by some thoughtful Senior boys. Old Man Weather wasn ' t very kind to the class of ' 65. Seniors boarded the buses at 2:30 p.m., tired and wet. The buses were strangely quiet on the way back to the high school. This was the last time that Seniors would be together as a class.

Seniors Participate In Government Day Seniors filled the varied government positions of Hobart City officials, May 1 1. Once again an exciting senior event was also educational to the participat- ing seniors. Seniors learned the jobs of a public servant, such as the Mayor or Police Chief and those of a civil ser- vice occupation such as the Post- master. Participants in the Government Day program received instruction in their duties for the day from the official whose shoes they were filling. Seniors didn ' t just look idly on while government proceedings went on. Stu- dent policemen gave out parking tickets and the city judge heard cases. Student council selected a commit- tee to choose the students who would participate in Government Day. Stu- dents were chosen on the basis of citi- zenship, and scholastic achievement in Government class. Seniors who participated in this senior activity learned more about the workings of our local government. Ken Black was Mayor and Cynthia Stefan- chik was Clerk-Treasurer for the day.
