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

These last lines are perhaps the most meaningful for those of us who are seniors. They seem to suggest carrying the memory of Hoban in one's mind and heart long after having graduated. That day of pomp and circumstance seemed so distant to us as freshmen, and even as juniors we may have found it difficult to realize. Yet the time has arrived with an amazing alacrity. We now find ourselves embarking upon a whole new phase of our lives, and wherever our pathways lead us, the impression left upon us by our four years at Hoban will remain indisguisable. We will carry with us a certain spirit, a spirit that may prompt us to say, till our time on earth is done, we shall be true to you. The theme of the 1976-77 yearbook is the alma mater. lt is an appropriate theme for a yearbook because it sums up in a few proud, assertive phrases, all the characteristics that make up the quality and spirit of Hoban High School. lt is a spirit that takes in its hands the tradition of the past and the reality of the present, and forms them into a promise for the future. i 1
