Developing an Ideal The words of the alma mater are signifi- cant. They express the true meaning and spirit of the Hoban community. Hoban High, your students proud sing and loudly praise These words give testimony to the pride that students, faculty, and alumni feel towards this school. Pride is seen in the large numbers of students involved in Hoban activities. lt is seen at poster parties, club meetings, or sports events. This pride erupts into a deafening cheer on the first H at the St. V assembly. The walls of Hoban alone cannot contain this pride. It spills out into the community through such projects as the concert for the Hattie Larlham Foundation, the Children's Home Christmas project, and the canned food drive. Each student also expresses his pride in Hoban when he sets goals for himself, academic or otherwise. The word sing in the second line connotes another important aspect of Hoban, fun. lt is our friends and the times we share with them, going to games or parties, enjoying different pastimes, that often remain the most memorable part of our years at Hoban. Loyal, true, amid the crowd our voices loudly raise, The real test of our loyalty to Hoban came this past year with the announcement that our school would close. We could have quietly resigned ourselves to that fact, but we did not. With our voices loudly raised to the chant, We won't close, the Save Hoban Committee, aided by parents, students, faculty and alumni, raised enough money to promise the continuation of Hoban for at least another five years, and, hopefully, indefinitely.

Building upon our history Which never is complete? Our history has left us its traditions and its standard of academic exceIlence.Those who have graudated before us have also handed down to us their spirit, the spirit which is heard in the singing of the alma mater today Just as this past is effecting us in the present, what we are doing now is building upon our history, which will influence the future of our school.We can also say now, with belief, that our history never is complete lt shall continue while the doors of Hoban stay open to serve the community, and forever in our memories. Our depth of pride no mystery Each challenge we will meet. One of the greatest challenges we have ever had to meet occured this year, the continuation of Hoban High School was in jeopardy.lt required much effort to resolve this situation and yet this was not the only challenge that occupied our attention.There were many times when each of us came upon some sort of obstacle, whether it be a difficult test or tough competition in that day's athletic event. But whatever the challenge, no doubt we met it admirably.The percentage of students on the honor roll, the number of those involved in extracurriculars, and our records and efforts in sports attests this fact. Upon these rocks we stand as one All Christians strong and true We at Hoban are a Community of learners joined in the development of Christian faith and service. The important word is Christian lt is this word that sets Hoban apart and above from many of the other schools in the area. Religious instruction is a unique and important part of the curriculum. Our education is furthered beyond strict academ- ics to include concepts that will continue to be utilized throughout life. 8
