Vice-President E EL N CHAR PIE Secretary BLANCHE BURGE Treasurer Page Faiirtecn Levi Bowman “ Either don’t attempt it or go through with it.” Levi Bowman we have with us here, he joined us in our Senior year ; his pranks are few, his intentions sincere, now Levi, we ' re certainly proud of you. Lyall Bowman ‘‘To live long it is necessary to live slozvly.” Lyall ' s a lad so very meek, and to the girls he seldom speaks. With his smiling blue eyes and most pleasing ways, success will likely brighten his days. Donaed Burge “Do not wait for an opportunity, but work for it.” Now Donald is a shy young lad; if he makes his mark some day we ' ll he glad. He passes each test and works with a zest and we never have heard him complain. Blanche Burge “I’d rather be thought true than be thought a genius.” The best of work is the work well done ; this is her motto, this tune she hums ; she’s one of the stars in our Senior, class and her manners are those which none can surpass. Page Fifteen Irvin Burkman This is really a great time to live in. if any of us can catch the cue of it.’’ Irvin is seen but not heard, for we hardly know he ' s around. His walk is easy, his manner slow ; in the commer- cial room he’s usually found. Altadena Carpenter How sweet her looks on them To whom her favors fall.” Oh, Altadena is a pretty girl ; she wears such lovely clothes. Her cheery smile wins many friends, no matter where she goes. Evelyn Charpie A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute.” Now Evelyn is a dark haired lass, who adds much pep to our Senior class. She always makes the best of grades and is one of our very popular maids. Vincent Chester “IVc grant, although he had much toil. He teas very shy of using it.” He ' s always ready to help our class, in easy or difficult tasks. Though small in stature, he’s mighty in mind ; a boy like Vincent you’ll seldom find. Page Sixteen James Hawke An athlete who derives great pleasure In being some girl ' s greatest treasure.” Behold our honored President, our guide for two whole years. A backer of clean sports is he, let’s give three rous- ing cheers. Laura Fiester He who laughs can commit no deadly sin.” Now Laura we could not do without, a friend to all is she; she rags the scale in a friendly way, and knows what she’s about. Emma Friedrich “ Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build.” She doesn’t care for the frivolous stuff, for this thing she is noted ; for her beliefs she’ll ever fight, to her studies she ' s devoted. Kathryn Grinn “To see her is to love her. And love but her forever.” Through thick and thin we’ve always a Grinn, to cheer us on our way. She gets her lessons every day, and after that finds time to play. Page Seventeen Clarence Harney There is no difficulty to him who wills.” Another of our group of whom we are proud, you generally find him near an admiring crowd ; but Clarence is sen- sible, he’s an energy germ, he doesn ' t like girls, he’s a regular bookworm.” They also serve who only stand and wait.” This girl has quite a business air, and of the work she does her share ; a fine person to meet she’s tall and sedate, we ' re glad we can say she’s a Senior classmate. Common sense is genius in its working dress.” People who know Arthur will agree, his appearance is that of a judge. If you’re about to get caught for some mischief wrought, he’ll always give you a nudge.” “Impossibility! Never let me hear that foolish zvord again.” He ' s calm and sedate, a most hand- some young man, with an air of “go slow, take it easy, you can.” He’s there with the goods, and always looks happy ; his speeches are short and they surely are snappy. Emma Jackson Arthur Johnson Edward Mellon Page Eighteen Leona Nikscii “A heart unspotted is not easily daunted. Leona’s very quiet, and if we’re prone to guess. She ' s doomed to make a school- marm, to instruct the primer class. Robert Nitchman Enjoy the present, whatsoever it be, and be not solieitious about the fu- ture.” Ladies and gentlemen, behold our Bob, a happy and gay young man. He edits our sports, H. H. S. he supports, in every way he can. Helen O’Keefe Don ' t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” We have a genius in our class; none other but Helen O’Keefe. That as a poet, some day she ' ll win fame, we hold no other belief. Elna Paxton ‘‘Refinement is superior to beauty. Elna Paxton is her name, and we know some day she ' ll bring us fame. Her efforts in class are not all in vain ; of her patience and humor, partake we would feign. Page Nineteen Josephine Peer A good cause makes a stout heart and a strong arm.” She has little to say, in her own quiet way, for sure, she ' s a studious lass. She works very hard in every class, and if we were prophets, we ' d say she’ll pass. Stephen Ripley Wisdom is the principal thing. There- fore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understanding.” A more versatile lad we could not find, lie ' s slow but always sure ; he lent a very helping hand, as we our annual trials endured. Vera Rowe Think all you speak, hut do not speak all you think.” Vera ' s a most independent maid, the captain of the Basketball team. She works quite enough, because she can ' t bluff, and wants all her credits to glean. Clarence Schnabel “ livery day is the best day in the year.” His cheeks are so red, his eyes arc so bright, we’re surprised that he isn ' t some girl’s delight. He always looks pleasant, indeed very prudent. One might almost think him a ministerial student. Page Twenty I Farriette Shoemaker “I protest, for one; love is sacred. Now Harriette left us in January, more learning to pursue. But she ' s com- ing back to sit with her class. To us she’s always been true. Thelma Tolle To yet a few flowers, one must sow plenty of seed.” Now ' here, clear friends, is Thelma Tolle, so dignified is she; she studies some and talks with ease, in fact w ' e ' ll agree she’s quite carefree. Dorothy Travers Pier modest and graceful air Shows her wise and good as she is fair.” Now Dorothy is most loving and sweet, to have her in class is a treat ; much work she has done for our school, and has never yet broken a rule. William Watkins The only way to have a friend is to be one. William is one of our Basketball men and doesn ' t care for girls we are told. His grades run high, a fine record he’s made, in helping win victories for the purple and gold. Glee Wilson “ hear, yet say not much, but think the more. Glee is our commercial shark, type- writing, her favorite pastime. She has to learn sonnets because she comes late, but about it she is never heard to pine. Page Twenty-one Class History As Freshmen, we longed and worked for the time when we would be Seniors. At last we have reached our goal and like all things we strive for, there is joy in the striving and discontent with the attainment. Now we wish for all those happy days to be lived over again. Hobart High has done much for us; it has given us knowledge of various subjects, has taught us to respect our fellow-beings, and how to be “good sports.” Through the years we have worked with the motto, “1925 Efficiency,” and we have usually gained success by doing so. We entered in 1921 with an enrollment of 61. Miss Hartman and Mr. Warne, as our sponsors, worked enthusiastically to make this year the best ever. As “Greenhorns” we were socially active, having a weiner roast in the second month, a Christmas party and also gave the movie “Black Beauty.” We thought our- selves so clever, when we found that school life was not so hard as the upperclass- men had de picted. What inner self pride when we “got away” with anything with the teachers, like the prank of putting cheese on the radiator and thus scenting the room. As a grand ending of this year Miss Hartman gave us a party. The big event of the Sophomore year was the Hallowe’en party. We came into the limelight by winning first place for putting on the best stunt. Ah ! did we swell with pride? You see we haven’t forgotten it yet. This year we lost three of our members, “Mac, Les and Wes.” Mac went to see what that much talked of cruel world is like — but he came back though not to rejoin our class. Our Junior year proved difficult considering our studies. And again we show our ability as actors by giving the play, “Fun In a Photograph Gallery. We had reached a position where we could hold our heads up and look with disdain upon the Freshmen. We planned and worked for that great event, the Junior- Senior reception, with eagerness, and what a good time we had. Under the able direction of “Steve” as toast-master, the evening was merrily spent. Then came the beach party given us by the Seniors, in lieu of the tabooed “hunt,” where pickles and weiners disappeared with surprising rapidity. At last as Seniors we have finished the years once dreaded, now prized. This Annual records our activities and work of the past year. With the aid of our able sponsors, Missi Wimborough and Mr. Orr, we have done our best to make this year one to he long remembered. At times we have had to endure dissensions and set-backs, but always to rise and carry on. We do not look forward to a “cruel world” but to one for which we have prepared ourselves. There will be disillus- ions, sorrows, troubles, joy and fun, but that is the stuff life is made of. Mornings are mysteries : the first world’s youth, Man’s resurrection, and the future’s bud, Shroud in their births; the crown of light, life and truth Is stil’d their starre, the stone, and hidden food. Three blessings wait upon them, two of which Should move : then make us holy, happy, rich. Page Twenty-two Class IDill Board, of Education, Superintendent, Teachers and Friends: Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1925, of Hobart High School, 1 here- with present to you her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life, and finding so many things of gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should call upon her, realizing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did collectively and individually, deem it best to bequeath these virtues in this manner. We, the class of 1925, in individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost super-human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or carelessly spoken, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all-wise and ever-competent faculty, and that the funeral be carried on with all the pomp that our position as Seniors of “grave and reverend mien,” must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us we do dispose of the same as follows : Item : We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. Item : We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent, Prof. R. C. Allen, our sincere affection, our deepest reverences, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. Item: We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all such boys and girls who were not able to to keep pace with us. Item : The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuabl e assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal: First : I, Levi Bowman, bequeath my beautiful brown eyes to Donald Lee. Second: I, Lyall Bowman, bequeath my blond complexion to Raymond Walters. Third : I, Donald Burge, bequeath my position at Phillips Byall’s Drug Emporium to Clarence Hancock. Fourth : I, Blanche Burge, bequeath my literary ability to Reuben Anderson. Fifth : I, Irvin Burkman, bequeath my stately manner to Warren Boyd. Sixth : I, Altadena Carpenter, bequeath my basketball ability to Eunice Werner. Seventh : I, Evelyn Charpie, bequeath my permanent waves to William Bach. Page Twenty-three :« 19 Eighth: I, Vincent Chester, bequeath my powers as a physicist to William Messick. Ninth : I, Laura Fiester, bequeat my ability to play the piano to Edmund Bartos. Tenth : I, Emma Friedrich, bequeath my powers to “toot” the cornet to Grace Rossow. Eleventh : I, Kathryn Grinn, bequeath my beautiful eyes to Nick Havrilla. Twelfth: I, Clarence Harney, bequeath my ability as an orator to Edwin Scharbach. Thirteenth : I, James Hawke, bequeath my eye for “baskets” to Stanley Glenn. Fourteenth: I, Emma Jackson, bequeath my fifty words “per” to Byron Mellon. Fifteenth: I, Arthur Johnson, bequeath my good common sense to Alma Belle Mattix. Sixteenth : I, Edward Mellon, bequeath my “stand-in” with the librarian to Johnny Stewart. Seventeenth: To the Freshman Class that is to be — any over-looked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the underside of desks, banisters, assembly seats or any other likely or unlikely places. Eighteenth : I, Leona Niksch, bequeath my good looks to Isabel Roper. Nineteenth: I, Robert Nitchman, bequeath my “shiek” ways to Eli Price. Twentieth : I, Helen O’Keefe, bequeath my German nationality to William McAffee. Twenty-first: I, Elna Paxton, bequeath my flaming red hair and the temper that accom- panies it to Mr. Lawler. Twenty-second: I, Josephine Peer, bequeath my ability to shoot baskets to Madalyn Campbell. Twenty-third: I, Stephen Ripley, bequeath niy ability to put the students to sleep by my orations, to Mr. Orr. Twenty- fourth : I, Vera Rowe, bequeath my power to charm Mr. Orr to Vance Reed. Twenty-fifth: I, Clarence Schnabel, bequeath my obesity to Gordon Argo. Twenty-sixth : I, Harriett E. Shoemaker, bequeath my love affairs to Ethel Mulligan.

And we do hereby constitute and appoint the Principal sole executor of this, our last will and testament. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we, the class of 1925, the testators, have to this, our will, set our hands and seal this twenty-second day of May, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five.

Class History One fresh and balmy morning in the autumn of 1922, the High School was surprised to see thirty- five new pupils enter. But as all of them enrolled as Fresh- men, they calculated it was an entirely new class. Mr. Orr kindly watched over them and kept them from harm until they became used to the daily routine of their school life. Fun ! I should say so ! First there was a big High School Hallowe’en party in which all the High School participated. Many were the parties, and great was the enjoyment received from them. Six weeks and final exams were a thing to he dreaded by all the Freshies, but of course, they had to go through with them. A few “flunked,” but a greater number passed, leaving behind them their tearful classmates. In their Sophomore year a few others joined the class, making up for those who had strayed away. Now, the Sophies brought sunshine wherever they went, where before they had been too timid to look at anyone. Winter passed and Spring came, bringing with it the term examinations. They entered into the Junior year where they were trudging cheerfully along to reach the goal of success, yet always cheering for dear old 11. II. S. LUCILF PETERSON.

Sophomore Class History From the beginning of our school life we all did our best. Some taking rapid strides, while others progressed more slowly. We entered our freshman year in ' 23 — green and ignorant — struggling with algebra and our amos, amas, amats. But we advanced, leaving some be- hind and some forging ahead, till here we are in our Sophomore year! A number entered in the mid-year, making forty members in all. Everyone jolly and full of pep. Some of them are “sharks”, others just the opposite, but we all do our best and follow in the footsteps of fate. rC y Of our basket ball stars (both boys and girls) we may well be proud. Our officers, too, we think well chosen. We selected for president Edwin Scharbach, and Eli Price as vice president, Marcella Kruse and Walfred Nelson, respectively, secretary and treasurer. Our colors, which we gaily flaunt, are blue and silver. Sponsors? Indeed, we wouldn ' t forget them. We have Miss Whitfield and Miss Hunter, and would not part with them for anything. All our teachers we love, not a little, especially at examination times. We all think and many agree that the sophomore year is the hardest of all. We are now all prepared to venture ahead, the next port being the Junior Class and during that time making a name of the Seniors of ’28. — Tuberia Ruchti.

The work is hard, but work we must. We’ll reach our goal, just watch our dust! To consultation we go each day, Because of the dreaded Algebra.

Freshmen Class FListory We entered High School last September in fear and trembling for we had heard of the initiations inflicted on preceding classes. But we soon found out that we were to undergo no physical torture although we did receive much “kid- ding.” We have the honor of occupying that part of the assembly hall nearest the door, so we can see everyone who enters, and it is our duty to warn the frivolous upperclassmen whenever any teacher approaches. Those who enter can also see us first and we believe this was arranged to make a good impression on all those who enter the assembly. We were introduced into the “terrors of Latin and Algebra and also that famous custom of being obliged to learn a sonnet after being tardy three times and some of our members seem to have a fine appreciation of Shakespeare for they love to sit in the halls and memorize his delightful verse. Another thing which seemed strange to us was. that we had no two classes in the same room and at the end of the first week we were rather stiff from ciimb- ing the steps to the assembly hall, but on the other hand our getting in on all the programs, pep sessions, and the like, quite recompensed us for this slight weari- ness. One of our greatest joys is the assembly hall. We are not forced to study any specified subject and nearly all of our time is spent in reading library books and shooting paper wads. However these pastimes are not confined to our section only for we often catch upperclassmen in the act, but their long practice has made them more proficient in the art. When the new Freshmen came at Christmas we felt quite superior and at- tempted to wreak all our vengeance on them — Oh well next year we’ll all be stuck up Sophies and hand the “new Freshmen torture” — a plenty, — revenge is sweet ! ! !

They’re model hoys and girls. 2. Always address the teachers by their first names. 3. Take all your books home every night, it makes an impression upon the teachers. 4. Take candy and peanuts to classes. 5. Send the teachers flowers. 6. Never lift your eyes from your hooks. 7. Slide down the bannisters, if you’re in a hurry. 8. Write notes, don’t ask to whisper, it’s a waste of time. 9. Bring your dogs to school with you — Mr. Orr likes them. 10. Feel free to play with the department telephones, that ' s what they’re for. 11. Cut consultation periods. The teachers will think you clever. 12. If you wish to make high grades, — ask the teachers a lot of questions. 13. Show your pep, and start a class scrap. The Long and Short of the Freshman Class is Harry Coons and Edna Friedrich. Lives of Seniors all remind us We’re to make our lives like theirs And departing leave behind us Our names carved upon the chairs. Behold the sonnet singers A-sitting all around The rooms and halls a-cooin’ The belated runey rounds. We wonder if they’ll ever learn The sufferin’ fourteen lines Or will they come to some bad end. Or gradually lose their minds. We wish some new ’uns would qualify For scenery new there’d be, We’re tired a seein’ the same old mugs And hearin’ ’em “tra la le.” Page Forty-nine CHILDREN ETMEL- FRE.SH fv ' A ' v officer MARI E Page Fifty Page Fifty-one Redding In this day and age almost everyone reads. In the large cities the newspapers are printed in many languages to meet the needs of the people. It is through this channel that we know what the world has done, is doing, and looks like. Any high school pupil could give a fairly good description of the Panama Canal, or the grave of King Tut, and would know who lives in the White House, and why gold wouldn ' t be worth anything, if every man, woman and child had a barrel of it. In reading we are constantly coming in contact with characters, that we find ourselves saying: “There. I want to be like him! If I could only be as selfless. Another book we read is particularly imbued with a delightful atmosphere, full of harmony and purity, or perhaps much life and gayetv. I, too, must do something worthwhile, must create such an atmosphere as this about me! is the de sire that wells up in us. Perhaps this aspiring state of mind is not especially obvious to those about us. Perhaps our lives run on as far as they can see in much the same ruts as before. But born in us, there is real ' y a change, if none but we ourselves are aware of it. Now I know what the poem means which I used to recite glibly and senselessly at school : The thing we long for, that we are, For that transcendent moment.” Some people read because they have to, some because they enjoy it, and some for the effect. Many try to give the effect without reading at all, which might cause such blunders as these: A man once said he had read Romeo, and intended to read Juliet and he hoped it would be as interesting as the former. Or the woman who saw the Bible in the home of on e of her friends, and noting how large and important it looked thought that the reading of it would leave a lasting impression on her friends. She asked permission to take it home and read it. On returning it a few days later, the owner of the book asked her if she had enjoyed the Bible. “Oh, yes, but these books, you know, always end the same, they always get married in the end,” she answered. These blunders give the attitude of many people, who realize that in social life it is neces- sary to be able to talk as if one had knowledge about books. No one can discuss a subject intel- ligently if they know very little about it. So reading has become a requisite in all walks of life. People usually read the scandal, sports or society pages in the paper. Others only what is necessary to get the plot of the play at the movies, and even come late to the movies, so that they may not see the International News. While others read everything from “Snappy Stories” to the Encyclopedia Britannica, memorize half the Bible, and go blind at the age of thirty, not knowing the color of the house they live in (however, these cases are very rare). Reading is a talent that very few are deprived of today. How few make use of it. de- velop it and make it useful to them! It is the most neglected and abused of all. If one had a beautiful home, one would not splash mud on it. That would mar its beauty. That is what one does daily to his reading talent. — DALIA MESSICK. Page I ' ifty-two Rain and Sunshine Oh, what’s the use of rainy days Of rain and rain and rain And dashing, slashing, thunder showers Upon the window pane? It only makes us drear and gloomy. And lays our spirits low — We see no good and so we think Rain has no good to show. It makes us cold, and crampv feelings Run up and down our spines. When we look out, all we can see Are rainy, muddy lines. We shrivel up in s ' ome far corner And groan and moan and shiver And watch the rain as it converges To form a tiny river. It rains and rains and rains all day And we look on, despairing, And wish it never thought to rain, It seems to us impairing. We wish that we had naught but sun And sunny clouds of gladness, And never see a bit of rain — Or rainy clouds of sadness. And yet, if all were sun and joy And dark clouds never came We ' d have less joy than we would, if — This world were made of rain ! The rain has been the best of things That we have ever known. For, from the good, it teaches us, There’s also bad in what we’ve sown. For when the sun of joy looms out Above the rain of sorrow We ' re glad that it has passed, and then We’re eager for the morrow. It teaches us to love the good — And hate the bad as sin ; To make this world, a world of joy And a world for living in ! —HELEN O’KEEFE. ’.( (■ Fifty-three His Pal Jim Hasley primed his gun and listened to the distant howl of a coyote and the loud roar of the Arctic winds. There was a storm coming down from the north. Nip, his dog and companion, and he had faced many snowbound winters in that awful waste of glassy white solitude. “Well, Nip, old chap, twenty more miles to the first post. How will it seem to get back to civilization again after twenty years an outcast? But we can’t stay for the Redcoats will be on our trail. Remember, we are doing it for her. Could I do it again? I sometimes won- der, Nip, if I could take the blame for a crime I never committed even to save her brother!” As Jim Hasley finished speaking the cabin door blew open letting in a staggering, snow- covered figure. The man reeled toward him. “Help ! Quick, the Redcoats are after me ! Don ' t let them get me ! Please for God’s sake, I didn’t steal it 1” The man looked at Hasley and stopped as if dazed. Jim — is — is that really you?” he asked. ' . Yes, Howard, I’m real, although 1 have been buried twenty years to cover your devilish- ness. Now what kind of a mess have you got yourself into?” “Please help me once more.” Howard whined, ‘i’ll make good. Honest I will. I didn’t do nothing. Just had a little fight. “No, I’m through. You face the music this time.” “Quick, they may be near now,” whined the other and then even as he turned away in despair a cunning look flashed across his face. “What will Mary do when the Coats get me?” he whimpered. “I know I ' m a coward, Hasley, but please give me another chance to make good for her sake.” The blow struck home. “You dog,” roared Hasley, “you should be ashamed to even utter your sister ' s name. Yes, again I will protect you for her sake and then clear out and never let me see your face again.” Already the blizzard had covered the footprints of the fugitive. Jim blew out the candle and barring the door motioned Howard to the bunk in the corner, saying, “Stay there till morn- ing, then I’ll give some grub to you and you can beat it farther north. There’s a cabin about fifty miles upstream.” Howard obeyed and was soon sleeping soundly as a child. Hasley looked at the weaker man with contempt and pity. Whenever he tried to drive the feeling away the sad, sweet face of Mary floated before him begging him to save her brother. At last in order to stay awake he brought out the leather belt containing his diggings of gold dust and a few nuggets. But even in spite of these his weary head at last fell forward and he slept. It was almost dawn when he awoke with a start. At first everything appeared to be just the same as when he had fallen asleep. But looking around he became aware that the cabin door was wide open letting in the wind and driving snow. In an instant he turned toward the bunk. It was empty and so was the leather belt containing the gold. He grabbed his gun and rushed out into the gray dawn. Page Fifty-four Howard had just hitched the dogs to the sled and was preparing to strike for the north. Although a coward, he knew when he was heaten. “You win this time, Hasley,” he muttered, handing him the gold dust, “but my time ' s coming. Guess I might as well hit the trail.” Before he had taken a dozen steps he felt Jim’s hand drop on his shoulder. “Glad you got the sled ready, my friend,” sneered Hasley. “Guess we ' d better be going. Sorry you didn’t call me sooner.” “Ah lemme go, I didn ' t do nothing !” grunted Howard. “No, I reckon you was going to leave me without grub, money, dogs, or anything a man has to protect himself with. Do you know the law of the north and what ought to happen to you ?” “Don’t kill me. I’ll give you everything I got and clear out for good. Honest, I will.” Hasley pondered a few minutes and then said : “Howard, I ' m going to take you with me and make a man of you. Do you understand? If I can’t make a man out of you, I can put you to good use. You can work my claim for me for a year or so, and maybe by that time you’ll want to stay.” Day by day they ploughed steadily forward until at last they stopped at a little cabin two hundred miles from the post. Jim never referred to the past. Gradually Howard changed. In the evenings after supper Hasley brought forth the Bible and read long chapters from it. At first Howard sneered; then accepted it as a part of his life. A year, two, three passed and the same program continued, and the two men seemed to be drawn together in the deep solitude of that frozen land. One day Jim and Howard were working near a large boulder. In some manner it was moved and started rolling rapidly toward the unconscious workers below. Howard, looking up from his work, saw it heading for Jim. He shouted but Jim did not hear. Then he started to run. He pushed the bewildered Jim back and attempted to jump aside, but too late. The rock fell, pinning him beneath. Dreary days and nights followed as Jim sat by his bedside. But the black spectre of death daily hovered nearer the bleak little cabin. One morning Howard called Jim to his bedside. “Well, old chap, I guess I’m going over the border and I’d like to hear you call me Pal” just once. I know I don’t deserve even the name or place you give your dog. But, old chap, I tried to make up — Oh ! so hard.” He reached out and grabbed Jim’s arm, “Give me a piece of paper and a pencil, Jim.” “Here, Jim, take this and clear yourself. I’ve been a beast not to do it sooner but the yellow streak in me wouldn’t let me. Take my money back to Mary and if you can, make up to her for what I should have done. And if she asks about me, if you can, say a good word.” Tears burned in Jim’s eyes as he stooped and kissed the fever and pain-stricken face of the man on the bed. “Old Pal,” he whispered huskily, I’ll tell her you died a genuine man, thinking only of her welfare to the last; the man who gave his life for mine!” The man on the bed smiled faintly and slept serenely. A few nights later Jim, with bowed head, lowered the body of his comrade to its last resting place, deep beneath the Arctic snow. Page Fifty -ft- A Senior ' s Study Period I have only a period to get my history, but it surely won’t take that long, so I’ll answer Bob’s letter first and then, — history! Shall 1 write more than two pages? He thought I was peeved at him because I only wrote two the last time. Well, if 1 don’t write any more than two, he’ll have to be satisfied. Where did 1 put his last letter? It’s not here in my history. Maybe it’s in my physics hook, — no. Where on earth can it he? My gracious! I’ve looked through all my books and I can’t find it. Say, Elna, did you see a letter in a blue envelope any place? No? Oh heavens ! Where is it ? What, it’s in that book I loaned you? Isn’t that terrible? I thought I’d lost it. At last, I can write. Let me think, how shall I begin? Look! Katy has some new socks, I wonder where she bought them. Katy ! — Katy ! Oh, she can’t hear me ! Laura, will you ask Katy where she bought her socks ? — at Gordon’s. I thought so, for I saw some there, just like them, last week. Now I can write that letter — Elna wants to give me a note and Mr. Lawler is looking right at us. There, at last, I’ve got it. She wants to know if I’m going to the party, Friday night. No, of course not, just because I’ve a crush with a guy out of town, the boys think they daren’t ask me to go. When all the others couple off, you can bet on it that I won’t go alone. Only fifteen more minutes and I must read this lesson because he always gives us a test — Adolph! will you stop pulling my collar? Stop! I’ve got to study this! A note? For me? Oh, Bill wants me to go to that party with him Gee, I’m sorry but Bob’s coming home that evening and I can’t possibly break my date with him when he gets to come home so seldom. Heavens, Mr. Lawler’s telling me to get to work. He says I haven’t been doing a thing this period. Why I’ve been working all the time. I’ve written a letter and read most of my history. Teachers never give one any credit for what one does. Just because I’ve whispered once or twice he says I haven’t done a thing. Besides, I don’t think teachers should speak to pupils right before the whole assembly. It is so mortifying ! Here’s a big word. I guess I’ll go up to the dictionary and then everybody will see my new dress. Oh, there’s the bell and I haven’t my history at all. Gee, whiz, what’ll I do? Thank goodness this life will soon he over with. I think teachers might grant Seniors a few more privileges and not make them take every test they give. Oh, I’ll have to hurry or I’ll be late.

The amusing comedy, “The Colonel’s Maid.” was chosen for the play for the English department of Hobart High School. The setting was modern, the action lively, the speeches clever. Colonel Rudd and Colonel Byrd are deadly enemies, having in their youth fought a duel, but their children, Bob and Marjorie, meet at college and fall in love with each other. Bob,, under an assumed name, wins the regard of Colonel Byrd but is afraid to reveal his identity. Besides, Marjorie refuses to marry him until they have gained the consent of both their fathers. Since Colonel Rudd has determined that Bob shall marry his rich cousin, Julia Carrol, who comes with her mother to visit the Rudds, the young people resort to strategy. Marjorie comes to the Rudd household, as a maid and wins Colonel Rudd ' s heart ; Julia elopes with Ned, a former lover; Mrs. Carrol and Colonel Byrd renew a youthful love affair; the Colonels are reconciled and Bob and Marjorie win the approval of both. The success of their scheming as well as the fun of the play is largely dependent upon the quick wit of Ching, the Chinese cook.

Act III. “The Consequences of Suddenness” “All-of -a- Sudden” Peggy, by Ernest Denny, is a light comedy in three acts, originally produced in London and New York, as late as 1907. As the title suggests, all elements of the plot take place “All of a Sudden.” Lord Crackenthorpe, the money power of the family, who is very much interested in spiders, is very much attracted by “Peggy,” the daughter of the late Professor O’Mara, F. R. S. This concerns his family greatly, owing to their English dignity being lowered by the introduction of the Irish element, but mainly because it will mean that the “retired” Archie and Lady Crackenthorpe will have to seek other means of support. The plot leads to Jimmy, as likely “bait” for Peggy. He was to “play up” to her and win her from Lord Crackenthorpe, which he did, but falls in love and eventually marries her, “All-of-a Sudden.” Lord Crackenthorpe and Mrs. O ' Mara, having a common interest in spiders, seem mutually attracted, and finally become engaged. All the “sudden” episodes and mix-ups, are cleared away, and as usual the play ends as we think it should, “All-of-a-Sudden.” Page Fifty eight Page Fifty-nine J he Orchestra was organized under Miss Braddock’s supervision four years ago. It was small — only thirteen members, but under her direction it flourished. The next year her good work was carried on by Miss Barnes and last Miss Whitfield “picked up the torch and carried on.” Under her supervision much new talent has been discovered, not only in the High School but in the grade school as well. The people who have had the good fortune to be in the Orchestra during their school years will find this training a valuable asset in the big world, both socially and com- mercially. The personnel of the Orchestra is : First Violins — Max Brand Frank Brown Helen Grasa Ebba Sandstrom Raymond Walters Alice Van Loon Clarinets — Nicholas Havrilla Marjorie Lutz Harold Sandstrom Second Violins — Madeline Campbell, Miriam Shoemaker Virgil Wilson Isabel Chandler Saxophones Nicholas Havrilla Gordon Shore Harry Coons Drums — Edward Dooling Accompanist — Drusilla Belford Director Dorothy Whitfield Page Sixty Program On the night of January thirtieth a musical program was given in the audi- torium of Hobart High School under the direction of Miss Whitfield. The first part of the program was given by the orchestra both in ensemble and solo work.

Some of the girls have arrived, and as they have only one maid, are eager to find another. A newspaper item tells of Lady Frances, who in her desire to study the American girl is disguised as a maid, some- where in the college city. A girl of this name answers their “ad,” and the mixup follows. Bridget, who is not Lady Francis, arrives, receives so much attention, that she thinks she is in a mad-house, and hastily (lees.

Their chief duty was to liven up our home basketball games. Due to the loss of one of their players we have not heard from them this last semester of school, hut we feel sure that everyone who followed the basketball activities the first half of school appreciated their music. The members of this organization are : Clarinet — Marjorie Lutz Violin — Raymond Walters Drums — Edward Dooling Cornet — Emma Friedrich Saxophone — Harry Coons Nicholas Havrilla Accompanist — Miss Whitfield Page Sixty-livo Page Sixty-three Society Inasmuch as the number of girls in our class so greatly outnumbered that of the boys, one might have imagined that our social life to have deviated from the usual trend of social activities and instead of the dance and other co-ed frolics to have consisted of “sewing bees,” but such was not the case. When we entered High School we were a large class of interesting “chaps,” but many of our members have fallen by the wayside. In our Junior year we economized on the parties, saving our pennies for those fes- tivities at the end of the year. But this, our Senior year, has been a busy one. Hallowe ' en Party There was a grand turnout at the Roosevelt Gym. Saturday, October 31. Old fash- ioned ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, Spanish cavaliers and cheir smiling senoritas, Dutch girls, clowns and every type of human species imaginable were assembled. “Oh, wad some power the giftie g’ie us To see oursels as ithers see us!” The gym was decorated very effectively in Hallowe ' en colors and there were four booths decorated in the colors of the different classes. Members of the classes entertained with a stunt. The Freshmen acted out several well kno ' yn Mother Goose Rhymes. The Sophomores had a musical revue under the competent leadership of the rather bedraggled looking German general, Max Brand. He certainly looked like he had won all the medals he displayed. Then came the Juniors — a short vodvil sketch, with Bill Messick, as the constable of Grasshopper Center, Bill McAfee, the crack cough drop salesman, and Marjorie Lutz, the woman in the case. We certainly envy Marjorie and her ability to giggle — we think she should commercialize it. Last the dignified Seniors gave a radio program ; stock reports, world crier, musical program; just like KYW, even to the bedtime story for the Freshmen, which was told by their own “Uncle Clarence” Schnabel. To our relief refreshments were announced, but to our grief we had to pay for them, so we weren ' t quite so greedy as usual. Each class was eager to have its booth sell the most and soon the hall rang with cries of the official barkers: Pumpkin pic. five cents a cut.” “Right this way for ice cream sandwiches. “Right here, hot dogs, one nickel.” Soon everyone was munching on pop-corn balls, taffy apples, or the like; it took a very short time for the booths to be stripped of all the edibles. Everyone chatted sociably, and loyally saying that his class had the best stunt. Some people said this was the very best Hallowe’en party ever, and- — well, we thought so, too. Christmas Party at the Qym. For the first time in the history of the local schools, the grades of both buildings, the high school and the West Hobart School participated in a most pleasing and interesting program. The enrollment this year is more than 950, and we were informed about all of the pupils were present, besides the teachers, twenty-five in number, and perhaps as many patrons of the school, making more than a thousand present and seated. Nearly a thou- sand children is quite a sight, we can assure you, and the children, too, enjoyed every minute of it. The program was a mixed one. each teacher being free to have her pupils put on any appropriate stunt they cared to. Most of the participants were in costume. The music was furnished by Miss Whitfield, music director, the High School Orchestra, and the Page Sixty-four - High School Chorus. Max Brand acted the part of Santa Claus. The presents for each room were in a separate parcel, placed under the Christmas tree, they were delivered to the several teachers who returned with the pupils to their several rooms for distribution of the presents. The program was as follows: 1. An Old-Fashioned Christmas H. S. Quartette 2. Cantique de Noel H. S. Quartette 3. Christmas Story Thelma Tolle 4. Christmas Bells First Grade 5. Happy Days Second and Third Grades 6. “Giving and Getting” West Hobart 7. Christmas Shoppers Third and Fourth Grades 8. Ye Olden Christmas Carolers, Fifth and Sixth 9. The Night Before Christmas Junior H. S. 10. Pantomime High School Silent Night and Little Town of Bethlehem. 11. Under the Christmas Tree High School Lincoln Day Program We eiroyed a very good program the first period of the morning February 12th, in honor of Lincoln. The program was as follows: America School Life of Lincoln Charles Ekstedt Gettysburg Address Alice Van Loon Second Inaugural Address Ted Kacizak Star Spangled Banner School Oh, Captain! My Captain! Louise Sohn Emancipation Proclamation Nicholas Havrilla Tribute to Lincoln Dalia Messick America, the Beautiful School Typewriting Party The party was given to the “Gold side of a typewriting contest by the “Purple” at the library February. 27. The students were entertained during the evening with bunco. About ten-thirty dainty refreshments were served. Shortly after eleven o’clock all jour- neyed homeward. Humorous Program The Public Speaking Class entertained us with a splendid “Humorous Program in the assembly March 17, the second period in the morning. The program was as follows: Sockery Setting a Hen Ted Kacizak Arathusa’s Beau Marie Zobjeck Jap Miller Charles Ekstedt A Literary Shadow Dorothy Dunning The Broken Hearted Dutchman Marie Zobjeck Where Men Propose Dalia Messick The Swell Alice Van Loon „ Kid Marie Zobjeck Leedle Yawcob Strauss 1 cd Kacizak Page Sixty- five Sophomore Party The Sophomores held a very peppy party in the community hall March 20. The greatest part of this party is that they were kind enough to ask the Juniors. The evening was spent in dancing, {slaving bunco, and other games were provided for, by the able committee. The hall was decorated in the sophomore colors, blue and silver. The light hangings were very beautiful, and we know that the decorators had a very keen eye for art. “We Will” is the sophomores’ motto and those who were there said they certainly lived up to it. And we hope they always will live up to it. This party was one of the largest social events of the year. Senior Party The Seniors assembled with their guests on March 27, at eight o’clock at the Community hall, which was gaily decorated in the class colors, green and white. Each one sought one of the small tables grouped about the hall and had an uproarious time playing bunco. There was continual calling of scores between tables to determine who was ahead. Finally, the four at the first table all yelled together that they had buncoed. There was great excitement when the winners sought a higher place at the next table. At ten o’clock two lovely prizes were awarded to the winning boy and girl, and two comical ones were awarded. After the prizes had been awarded everyone chose a partner and glided gracefully to the syncopated music of the orchestra. Those seeking refreshment visited the punch bowl, presided over by Madalyn and Helen. At a late hour all departed regretting that this would be the last senior party. Junior ' -Senior Party As Lincoln said, We will little note, nor long remember what we say here but we can never forget what we did here,” so might the seniors say, “We will little note nor long re- member what we say here but we can never forget what we ate here.” The Juniors felt that their banquet had indeed been a success from every point of view Just ask those who peeked in the windows, and saw lovely lilies of the valley, in all their glory, and incense adorning the tables; green and white paper hanging from the ceiling; and lights, illuminating the happy faces, young and old, teachers and pupils, the school board and dear Uncle Bill, all smiling on this grand occasion. They heard sweet music, and ardent and instructive speeches, and the hearty laughter from all, made those hearty onlookers have a great desire to some day be one at a Junior and Senior banquet, like the one of 1925. Freshman Party A Freshman party was given at the library March 30. Under the sponsorship of Miss Tichnor and Mr. Johnson. The evening was spent in playing games such as — Dumb Crambe, Three Deep, Charades, and Feathers. At an early hour the refreshment committee served a dainty lunch.

I ' age Seventy Page Seventy-one Rooseuelt Gymnasium Last year we were living with anticipatory ideas, as to all the enjoyment our new gymnasium would afford us when it was finished. Then it was only dreams, but this year has brought us reality. It serves us in many capacities, and is a means of promoting many social activities. We can now have joint school programs, such as the Christmas party, and it’s seating capacity will accommodate the enrollment of the entire school. We look upon it as a structure of artistic worth to our campus, and it’s modernness in every respect is an item deserving of men- tion. We no longer feel the handicap of being a small school with none of the modern conveniences which the larger schools, with whom we must compete, have, but rather we are small, with all the facilities, making for success in our athletic- activities. We are indeed proud to entertain our athletic guests in such a beautiful new home. For it has promoted coed athletics, and makes possible a chance for each girl in our High School to have the benefits of a physical education. As has been shown this year, it can plainly he seen that athletics will no longer be confined to basketball for the boys. In this manner we wish to extend a vote of thanks to our parents and all others who have made possible this magnificent structure, and hope our records in the future will show our sincere thanks in a more concrete manner. I ‘age Sevenly-tivo Coach Lau;ler To Mr. Lawler is clue all honor, for his commendable work in athletics the past year. The students of the school and members of the basketball team appreciates his efforts. He is a popular teacher and “sport” in and out of school and has secured the good-will and admiration of all pupils and patrons. At all times he endeavored to display the best ethics of basketball. He was an excellent host to visiting teams, and through all his splendid qualities has thoroughly permeated interest in all athletic activities. Leader brand A word of appreciation from the pupils and basketball fans is due our yell leader. Max Brand. Under his direction, the school and other rooters have kept the spirit of the team at its highest point. His excellent appearance on the floor, attired in his purple and white suit, presents the form of a graceful and “snappy” yell leader. basketball Schedule Date Teams.

Basketball The season of 1925 marked one of the most successful years of basketball in Hobart High since athletics was given a firmer stand, several years ago. The team with Coach Lawler directing, started the season with five successive victories, the boys being in excellent form and their training unsurpassable. Such teams as Lowell, Knox, Wanatah and Hebron being humbled by their sudden onrush. The victories were not to con- tinue, as iGeorge Murray, one of our forwards left us, and six straight losses were chalked up against us. The team was not playing the right defensive and it seemed that the net was not snapped with much vigor during that particular phase of the season. Games were lost in small gymnasiums to our opponents by very small margins, so it showed that we were still in the running. After an unsuccessful trip of three out-of-town games, the team again hit its stride and defeated their opponents on the floor of Roosevelt Gym. The team as well as Coach Lawler deserve great credit for their many hours of strenuous practices, only to keep Hobart represented in the line of basketball. At till times the boys fought, and though they did lose, the better was always hoped for the next time. A thing of importance that is to be remembered, is, that during the entire season the team ' s progress was never stunted by ineligibility. The boys worked hard to keep their grades up, and due recognition was given them. The support given them by the patrons of the school was greatly appreciated, and it is hoped that their enthusiasm for basketball will continue, and that next season will be as suc- cessful as this.

A drawing was taken by the presidents of the respective classes, and the games proceeded as follows : The Seniors defeated the Freshmen 6 to 5 in the first game of the tourna- ment. Both teams played well considering the material that each class had to pick from. The Juniors put up a game fight but the Sophomores defeated them 9 to 8 in a very exciting game, that belonged to either team until the whistle blew. The final game resulted in defeat for the Seniors, 15 to 4, and the Sophomores were crowned champions. Here’s lots of luck for another championship in the future, Sophomores ! ! ! Qirl’s Tournament The Sophomores took the tourneys both boys’s and girl’s, though we think if the Seniors had played the final game, such a catastrophe would not have hap- pened. In the beginning the Sophomores, with Dorothy Dunning as captain de- feated the Freshmen 15 to 1, the latter being overwhelmed with an avalanche of field goals. They next proceeded to beat the Seniors 8 to 4 in a very hectic battle, and then swamping our Juniors 4 to 0. As the final game of the tourney, the Seniors were slated to meet the Sophomores for honors, but due to lack of players on the Senior team, the game was forfeited to the Sophomores 2 to 0, and our “Second Year Children” were crowned victors. Page Seventy-five JAMES HAWKE— Jim was the backbone of the team this season by his consistent scoring, and “fight to the end” spirit. He specialized in shots from the side of the floor and making the first basket in the game. We lose him, he is a graduate. GORDON ARGO — Gord was not given a good chance until the season was well under way. He was a good scorer, making his debut in the Ches- terton game. He always did his best and fought hard. One more year for him, and lots of good luck. DONALD LEE — “Smoky” worked at center most of the time and displayed his ability to hold down the pivotal po- sition. He always made a hit with girls at out-of-town games and was presented with many charming nicknames. “Smoky” has two more years. ELI PRICE — “Sheik, the ladies ' man ! Eli had many chances to get in the game. He always succeeded in getting his man, and keeping him. He was not a steady scorer but his floor work was fast. We can watch Eli two more vears. WILLIAM McAFEE — Mac, our agile floor guard, was a very fast man on the team, and by his fighting spirit shown, he could stop anything that con- fronted him. “The bigger they are, the harder they fall,” is Bill’s motto. Here’s watching him next year. EDWIN SCHARBACH -- “Duke,” our smiling hack guard, picked them off the bank, high or low, it made no dif- ference. When he got the hall he usually kept it. and many times he would drib- ble to the center of the floor and take a crack at the net. Eddie is only a Sopho- more. WILLIAM WATKINS— Bill, one of our dependable subs, could play the floor guard position or as a forward. He was only in a few games, but while in, he displayed his way of playing clean as well as snappy “basketball.” Bill grad- uates this year. JOHN STEWART — Johnnie subbed at back guard several times during the season. He could fool ' em right and left and you ought to see that man leave the floor and pick them off the bank. John is only a Freshman and we will be able to see him play for three years more. HERBERT SCHARBACH— I lerbie was in the game several times and work- ed the center and forward positions. Herb has a good eye for the basket and several times while playing, he managed to do his part in the scoring. Herb is only a Sophomore and here’s three vears more of good luck. Page Seventy-seven Coach Hunter Through the fruitful efforts of Miss Hunter, the girls of the school have been introduced to the interesting and difficult methods of physical exercise. It was through her influence that a Physical Train- ing class was started and success achieved in the line of basketball. Her efforts were demonstrated several times before the pub- lic, and performed at the Whiting game. By all her excellent coaching methods, she has placed girls’ athletics on a firmer basis in Hobart High School. Leader Carpenter As a representative of the fair sex of the High School, Altadena has assisted Max in his duties as yell leader. She has all the requisite qualities of a leader, and with her everlasting pep and pleasing personality, enables the two to work to- gether in perfect harmony.

The games in the semi-finals and finals were very exciting, Froebel of Gary winning the tournament by defeating Emerson in the final game Saturday night. Following are the scores of the games : Froebel, 29; Whiting, 17. Hammond, 22 ; Lowell, 18. Saturday : Emerson, 40; Hobart, 4. East Chicago, 4; Griffity, 5. Semi-finals : Froebel, 41 ; Hammond, 16. Emerson, 23 ; East Chicago, 20. Finals : Froebel, 31 ; Emerson, 18. In the Hobart-Emerson game, our boys who had proved so successful in the past season did not fare so well against the Emersonians. Our team was over- whelmed by long field goals which were dropped in from every angle of the floor. The boys did fight hard throughout the game, hut the results showed that Emerson was a hard team to buck up against. ..Here ..Here There ..Here ..Here ..Here Page Seventy-eight Top row from left to right: Dunning.

Qirl ' s Basketball W hen you reckon the number of games won and lost, a showing of great importance was not made by the Girls team this year, but with their way of pre- senting a basketball game in girl s fashion, the showing that they made on the floor was of the best. Coach Hunter drilled the girls, and like the results obtained in her Physical 1 raining class, they displayed an improvement in basketball over that of previous years. The games that were lost, were not on account of neglecting to fight at all times, because the girls exhibited a class of ball on tbe border between that style played by the boys and then the strict rules that place a more of a limit on them. They fought in a sportsmanlike manner and still held to the word, “we are of the fairer sex.” It is hoped that girls’ athletics be placed on a firmer basis in the future and let the season of 1925 be one to look back upon. Page Seventy-nine Physical Training A new phase of athletics, a girl’s physical training class, was introduced into High School this year. A group of would-be athletes entered the class, and it was only through the patience and drilling of their supervisor, Miss Hunter, that they finally learned to carry out her commands when they were given. With such coaching and drilling, the girls were able to invite the High School in the early part of December to watch their regular class work. Marching tac- tics, exercises, folk-dances and a game of Captain Ball between the Freshmen- Senior, and Junior-Sophomore teams were the attractions of the day. The Junior- Sophomore team won the game. A hearty applause accompanied the close of the exhibit, and thus encouraged, the girls worked hard until January 31st when their second appearance as a preliminary to the Whiting game was made before the public. The community basketball fans enjoyed a snappy drill consisting of much the same program as the former exhibit with the exception of several new exercises and dances. Since the second semester, “consultation has been the cause of a great decrease in the number of the class, hut it must he said that the “would-be athletes” of the first semester have gained their goal.

Then we who have gone shall be happy ; We shall pass through life’s higher grade; We shall face the world ' s difficult problems With countenance unafraid; We shall pass through each test as we meet it, At the sounding of duty’s stern call ; We shall work every day — when we have to And never be tired at all. And only the big world shall praise us, And only the big world shall blame, Though we work for the joy of the winning And climb up the pathway of fame ; For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express, As he follows the gleam as he sees it To the goal that to him means success. We hope we may always bring honor To our dear Alma Mater H. H. S. That we’ll live again for new victories, And our tests will show us the best, So were saying goodbye to our teachers, Goodbye to the Purple and Gold ; We shall always cherish the memories That our four years in High School unfold. 1924 Elmer Scharbach Edna (Schlobohm) Kleine Leona T raeger Elizabeth Watkins Marcia Roper Clifton Nygren Evelyn Stark Virginia Butler Grace Stoeckert Jeanette Ca vender Robert Gresser Mary Harris Myrtle Krueger Mildred Lindborg Mabel Lutz August Schlobohm Margaret Maclver Emily Rohwedder Helen Peterson Helen Ferren William Stark Florence Ewigleben Ruth Van Loon Renetta Schnabel Charles Pierson Leslie Foreman Betty Rossow Faye (Fleming) Stalbaum Irvin Benson Page Highly -fi The Editor ' s Note Your name may appear in the previous pages or it may not.

If you have won distinction enough to entitle you to a place, you are to he congratulated ; i f not, it is to he hoped that by another year you may have that pleasure. We have attempted to give a birdseye view of one year in Hobart High School. Naturally we have hoped from the first to make this the best hook of its kind ever pub- lished here. Our aims have been high. That our re- sults have fallen far short we know. However, it has given us many joyous moments as well as thoughtful ones and we hope our efforts have not been entirely in vain. We thank all who have helped to make it a success, particularly our advertisers. Goodbye, may you see us in your dreams. We thank you.

Brick are prehistoric. Archaeological borings in Egypt uncovered bricks deposited there over ten thousand years ago. The earliest recorded date in history, 3800 B. C., is found on a brick tablet in the time of Sargon of Akkad. Nebuchad- nezzar erected a brick palace; some of the pyra- mids are made of brick. Today brick buildings are the best known to builders. Brick are strong, reliable, last forever. Bricks can be used anywhere for any kind of building. KULAGE BRICKS ARE SHIPPED INTO TEN DIFFERENT STATES This wide demand is an indication of their quality.
