Bono, McLennan Preside Over Homecoming Festivities The sky was the limit for school and class spirit as the Brickies ral- lied round their team for the bas- ketball homecoming game played against Valparaiso. On the eve of the game juniors and sophomores draped the lobby and corridors with posters bearing victory calls and class slogans. On game day the Seniors decked them- selves in class colors and added their own contributions to the hall- ways. Hobart Spirit reached its peak at the last hour pep session on Se- nior Spirit Day. During the session the winner of the cutest legs contest held between the basketball players was announced. Voted player with the “loveliest” legs was Senior Mike McLennan. Paula Freeville crowned the ’69 basketball Homecoming queen Tina Bono to reign over the game’s fes- tivities. Members of the queen’s court were Ellen Pope, Senior, es- corted by Giampi Gallarante, and Sandy Longacre, sophomore, es- corted by Don Erickson. The Senior candidate’s escort was Hobart’s AFS student from Italy. Tina appeared with her court and escort Harry Kneifel at the after- game dance held in the gym. The entertainment was provided by the Haints from 10 to 11 p.m. Far left — Tears of joy overtake junior Tina Bono as she is crowned basketball Homecoming queen. She is escorted by Harry Kneifel.

Pep Sessions, Convocations Spark Interests “At this time, Seniors are dis- missed,” echoed from the P. A. sys- tem. Following this announcement, students flocked to the gym to at- tend the various pep sessions and convocations. Students cheered on the sports teams as they followed the cheer- leaders in familiar chants. In keeping with the holiday spir- its, special convocations, were held at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. At the various religious con- vos, ministers from local churches came to talk to the students. Members of the Ball State Uni- versity Wind Ensemble visited Ho- bart High while on tour. During Patrioticism Week, a spe- cial convocation was held at which Principal Mr. Moody spoke on Americanism and the threat of communism. To conclude the year, the annual Honor Convocation was held to honor worthy students. Above left — Members of the band pay close attention to their music sheets as they play at the music convo.
