Tempers and wit bung home District trophs Interpreting the thoughts and words of man Research cards provide impetus to clear thinking. Sports in the past history of H.H.S. have been physically inclined for the most part, but now the im- mortal Hawkeyes has a sport that is mentally inclined for the most part except the vocal bands. These strong minded larynx people have a Varsity and a J.V. team, also. To start off the vocal brawl there are two affirma- tive speakers and two negative speakers. Both teams have coaches and the winning side is decided by a judge. Each person speaks twice. The first time for ten minutes called ' Constructives ' and then a second time speaking for five minutes called Rebuttals ' . Each person can get up to thirty points. The Hawkeyes were placed second in the OK Blue Division League overall. The new team went to State Districts and won 5-1 overall. Then to Regionals but were defeated, losing two in the best-of-three tourna- ment. Among the Varsity are Rudy Broekhuis, Tom Hall- quist, Pat Sternberg, and Judy Geerts— Most N ' aluable. The Varsity scored 10-4 in their league season, J.V. ' s team are all Sr. High Bandsmen, they are Tom Johnson, Dan Grondin, Carl Meyer, Rick Barrett, and Louise Grondin— substitute. The J.V. ' s scored 6-8 in their first league season. Oh, I almost forgot The Name of the Game ' is DEB. TE.

' i ' mm ' Deciphering the languages of others Miss Velthuizen demonstrates the German pronunciation. The past drones unceasingly; the present screams out. And it is a deaf man to whom the past is silent and the present dumb. The heritage that molds us is recorded and retained in words. As our Foreign Language Department attempts to in estigate the past and present world cultures, it works through language, the key to both. Students and teacher stri e to lay a basic understanding of Spanish and German through oral and written instruction in the classroom and language lab.
