1931 AURORA Aviation Edition Published by the SENIOR CLASS of HOBART HIGH SCHOOL Hobart, Indiana FOREWORD The idea with which we start in life is to progress; to attain a high standard of thought and efficiency. The goal of youth and the goal of the student pilot is to raise himself to the top-most rank. In this hook we attempt to portray a part of the progress of the student toward the accomplishment of his ideals. CONTENTS 1. Introduction to the Aviation Edition Pages 1-8 2.

The Hobart High Hangar William Foreman Mechanical Engineer INSTRUCTORS INSTRUCTORS Probably the most important factor of student flying is the instructor. If he is not a seasoned, competent flyer himself, his charges may be seriously hindered in their later work because of a lack of proper guidance in the early training. Hobart, we feel, is fortunate in having supervisors and instructors who constantly strive to improve the product of the high school. The Board of Education L. 1). Roper President Mrs. Clara E.

Byrd Most men, it seems, are born to be followers, but occasionally one appears who is not content to follow, but seems to find his natural place at the front—leading. Rear-Admiral Byrd is one of the latter. Somehow, when he takes charge of a thing, failure seems impossible. It is this ability of making men willing to endure hardship and privation, coupled with painstaking thoroughness, which has enabled Byrd to conquer both ends of the world. Nor is their confidence misplaced, for Byrd’s first thought and consideration are always for his men. Perhaps, no finer tribute could be made than this note taken from the diary of one of his men during his recent expedition. It concerns the loss of a plane during a blizzard: He did not say a word about the loss of the plane. No one who has not experienced it can appreciate his sense of fairness and justice, his magnanimous and generous consideration of others. It has attached all the men to him with a loyalty which is beyond words to express, but it shows itself in the way men work in this desolate place”. 16 FRESHMEN The Grease Monkeys Officers President...... Robert Ramsey Vice-President............Donna Boyd Secretary............ Carmen Whisler Treasurer ....____ Harriet Livingston This class falls under the name of grease monkeys. When translated in the vernacular of the day, this implies the underdog—the hireling—the one who does the dirty work”. Too, the grease monkey is usually the beginner who has high hopes of advancing from this lowly station in life. However, this corps of individuals is very necessary in order to have a smoothrunning plane which is to be desired above all things. Following co-operation and co-ordination of the machine, comes success and the position of Ace. These grease monkeys have had an auspicious beginning. This last semester on the honor roll they had the greatest percentage of any class. In athletics they have displayed no little skill for novices and showed up surprisingly well as recruits. Too, they have not lacked representation in the music section. In general, they have showed varied talent with three years in which to develop it. This is, indeed, a bright start on the road to success. 17 June Armstrong Evcritt Baker Ella Barr Eleanor Bodin Paul Bowles Clara Born Lena Boy Mary Boyd Robert Bradley Lester Brcitsprcchcr Jesse Brooks Ethel Bryant Isabel Butler Ramah Bvall Delos Caldwell Esther Carbine Robin Cliff Leslie Conovay Dora Craven Bliss Crisman Frank Davis Loretta Dukes Elwood Dunning Betty Ekstedt Alfred Erickson Charles Erwin Dorothy Easel Everett Easel Frank Elorck Ralph Eifield Peter Eiorantin William Gant 18 William Glynn Mary Gielarowski Harvey Granzow Dorothy Grasa Louis Greenspan Robert Griffiths Carolyn Grinn Helen Gruel Lois Harms George Hawke Genevieve Hcdstrom Shercn Hill Clare Holzmcr Alex Howatt Irving Johnson Mike Johnson Ralph Johnson Emily Jones Marjorie Jones Frank Kccvcr Gilbert Kellberg Walter Keller Kenneth Kcilman Ruth King Mary Kisola Stanley Klim Bertha Knoke Charles Kolczak Stanley Koziol Chris Kramer Kenneth Kramer Adeline Kubiak 19 Faye Lefllcr Bernice Lcstikow I.ucilc Lowry Edna Lute Raymond Lutz Isabel Malone Lois Martinson Jack Mason Dorothy Matich George Matich Robert Maybaum William MeGirr Homer MeOmber John Mellon John Mcssick Gust Metaxas Paul Mokol Myrtle Moll John Mueller James Mundcll Virginia Myers Harold Ols Clara Ockcrlin Richard Ockcrlin William Ondrovich Harold Perry Anna Poparad Eugene Poparad Bernice Raschka Ernest Ray Emery Redar Verne Robinson 20 Janet Roper Miles Rowe Theodore Sam Warren Samuelson Julia Satmary Luther Scharbach Jessie Schnabel Ed Scroggins Bessie Self Harry Sears Russell Shirey Edith Sicwert Martha Simpson Monfred Smith Kenneth Sothman Jane Squire Rhoda Stewart Clarence Struble J.

Arthur Cooper Vice-President.............Leona Self Secretary ........ Dorothy Woodworth Treasurer ........... Dale Wright As Mechanics, the Sophomores have a great deal of the unpleasant work to do, even though they have raised themselves above the stage of grease monkeys. If the work of the grease monkey is not done well, it overburdens the mechanic, whose responsibility it is to see that the plane is always in good running condition. When the heights of pilots and aces are reached everything should operate smoothly so that the trip through graduation can be made without mishaps. If a mechanic neglects a single bolt, an airplane may be wrecked, thus spoiling his dream of becoming an ace. So it is in school work. When a task is not properly prepared, it will retard the pupil’s progress. These Sophomores have cultivated sincerity and honesty in toil in order that the flight can be made in safety. There are many pupils in this group who have a high scholastic record. This class will be one of the largest ever to be graduated from Hobart High School. 22 Edna Allen Violctte Allison Harold Anderson Leonard Bowgren Carl Carlson Joseph Chudzicki Ruth Cobb Kenneth Cooper Isabel Dcppc Conrad Dewcll Frank Duffy Franklin Farnan Darrell Fificld John Frazer Clara Gill Josephine Goff Raymond Granzow Mike Grasa Doris Greko Wilma Grove Wayne Guernsey Joe Hamilton LaFern Haywood Josephine Hillan Grover Hofmann June Johnson Vivian Johnson Anna Katunich Edward Klauscn Emma Knoke Elden McClaren James McColly Francis McGirr George Meyer Clarence Newman Charles O’Keefe 2) Herbert Ols Josephine Parker Harvey Parkhurst Everett Parry Winifred Parsons Betty Pavel Mike Peer Anna Petrovich Stanley Prusinski Florence Reichert Helen Reuter Robert Rhoades John Roper William Rosdil Ruth Schavey Cecil Schroeder Carl Schwuchow Mildred Sicwert Edward Small Carol Smith Dwight Smith June Smith Edythe Szwcdo Vada Thompson Ursula Thyen June Traeger James Wanamaker Winston Wcgmct Helen Wells Paul Wesley Edith Westbay Arnim Whisler Thelma White Berne Wright Robert Young 24 JUNIORS The Pilots Officers President..................Harvey Shults Vice President........... Robert Green Secretary..........................Vesta Kraft Treasurer June Melin Looking back over the past the Juniors reflect on the many unpleasant hours spent as grease monkeys, the days of toil as mechanics, all the work and study, time and effort, spent to attain this present classification—the Pilots of Hobart High School. The long, hard, dreary hours working on the plane—greasing, oiling, repairing, polishing, tuning—that now is behind them. Before them lie the gates to a greater task,—the task of planning their course, guiding their machine through or over the obstacles they know are ahead; reaching their goal—the goal of graduation— the day when they become the pilots of the world, with a larger ship at their command, with a greater burden of responsibility on their shoulders. 25 Kenneth Adams Fred Ahrens William Armstrong Joe Bartos Irene Bolton Lawrence Bryant Kenneth Carlson Thelma Cook Arlene Davis Lucille Erwin Russell Erwin Douglas Fleming Henry Fleming Sanford Flood Warren Greiger Violet Haas Glen Harms Barbara Harris Royal Hitson Hildegarde Hoffmann Lorraine Hoos Henry It tel Walter Jackson William Jamison Anna Janowsky Raymond Klauck Arthur King 26 Margaret King Bernice Kostbadc Denise Kruse Robert I.ee Gene Lefflcr Max Lefflcr Lester Lcstikow Ralph Lcstikow Erwalt Majorowicz John Malmquist Stewart Mattix Harriet McClarcn Dorothy McOmber Robert McRoberts Ellsworth Melat Leona Mellon Walter Messick Darrel Miller Sarah Mundcll Raymond Nelson Ruth Nelson Cora Nichols Helen Parker Edward Pavlakovich Mildred Peyton Joe Picch John Pratt 27 Earl Ramsey Myrtle Reichert Leland Rockstraw Marion Rogers Charlotte Roper Phyllis Roper Fred Ruchti Elsie Sandstrom Lillian Savant Arthur Scharbach George Schnabel Alvin Schwan Calvin Shearer Robert Sherwood Kenneth Seigesmund Sylvia Stangebye Gertrude Stubblefield Florence Thiel Richard Trester Kathryn Urcmovich Harry Van Loon Bernice Vincent William Weigus l.ouretta Witt I.ouberta Witt James Witty Virginia Wright 2S SENIORS—THE ACES Officers President........................ Robert Hawke Vice-President..................... John Gant Secretary......................Edith Brown Treasurer.................... Charles McManus At last, after several years of hard work, diligent study, and patient practice, we have reached that coveted position, that long sought-after standard of rating—the Ace. We have come to the time when we will embark on our great adventure, when we, alone, will be at the controls of our ship and the success or failure of our flight—our first big solo—depends exclusively upon our own skill. Will the training we have received in the past years be sufficient to carry us through the various perplexing problems ahead? Will we arrive safely at our goal or will we be forced out of the race before it is fully run? Will we reach greater heights or will we drop out of the struggle? Will we attain that greater honor or will our aspirations turn to utter despair? I hese and many other similar puzzles are the problems that confront us, for which we must seek our own solution. And upon these solutions depend the success of our enterprise, our great adventure, our right to the classification of Ace”. 29 Robert A. Hawke Claw President (4); News Staff (4); Quill and Scroll (4); Traffic Squad (2, 3, 4); Aurora Staff (4); Cheer Leader (2, 3); Academic Courses. True to the practice in the family, he is our class president, and very capably docs he fill the chair. Active, alert, and on the job—this means Hob. His life is variety itself, including the one girl, literary societies, and holding down a job. He has an abiding interest in all school activities and the height of his ambition is to become six feet tall. John Gant Class Vice-President (4); Football (4); Track (3, 4); Aurora Staff (4); News Staff (4); Traffic Squad (4); Quill and Scroll (4); Applesauce” (3); Cheer Leader (4); “Crocodile Island (4). “Personality plus” is our unique way of describing Johnnie. He likes to have a good time all the time, either in school or at one of the many parties. Entering Hobart High in his sophomore year, Johnnie has made a place for himself among the students. As a yell leader, he has inspired Hobart’s basket ball team to greater heights. We all sing in unison, He’s a jolly good fellow.” 30 Edith Brown CImj President (2); Aurora Staff (4); Orchestra (3, 4); Honor Roll (1, 2. ), 4); News Staff (4); H. H. S. Club (3, 4); Thank You” (2); Chorus (I, 2, 3); Operettas (I, 2, 3); Quill and Scroll (2). This light-haired girl has proved herself a valuable asset to our class. She is well known in this school for her ability as a pianist. Although active in social affairs, she docs not neglect her school work, for her name is always found on the honor roll. We think that Edith is well qualified to enter any field of the world’s activities. Matthew Charles McManus Sales Manager of Aurora (4); Football (2, 3. 4); Class Officer (2, 3, 4); Business Manager of Band (2. 3); Quill and Scroll (4); Traffic-Squad (I. 2, 3, 4); News Staff (4); Track (1, 2); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3); Basket Ball (2. 3, 4). Bud” is the go-getter of the senior class. He not only goes after things, but he gets what he goes after. Besides being an earnest student, he excels in athletics, and other school activities. His duties are varied and show—to an extent—his proficiency and leadership. Truly a master of all trades! 31 Helen Scholler Crimson Star” (2); Swami of Bagdad” (3); Crocodile Island” (4); H.H.S. Club (2. 3. 4); Chorus (I, 2, 3, 4); Glee Club (I. 2). The name Helen is always associated with Troy; and likewise, this Helen of our High School is in danger of being carried away by a freshman. She possesses a ready wit and high spirit which have won her many friend and good times. Helen accomplished her high school career in three and one half years. As a student she attains a high average, and also, willingly adds her bit to activities. Lawrence Gresser Football (I, 3, 4); Basket Ball (1, 3, 4); Track (3. 4); Traffic Squad (I, 4); General Course. Jud”, as he is called by all who know him, is an incomparable athlete. Active in both football and basket ball, he is a three-letter man. In his sophomore year he deserted Hobart High for Hammond Central High, but he returned in his junior year to take up his old position as a leader. Gladys Esther Peterson Girls’ Club (2, 3); General and Commercial Courses. Gladys is jolly, full of fun, and an ardent supporter of all activities—especially basket ball. Her studies arc never neglected for she is in school to acquire all the knowledge she can, and she has made a success of this ambition. She is blonde, blue-eyed and always smiling. 32 Eleanor Rhoades M. H. S. Club (3, 4); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3); Girls’ Glee Club (I, 2); Chorus (I, 2); Aurora StafT (4); News Staff (4); Quill and Scroll (4); Librarian (3); Commercial and Academic Courses. This dark-eyed mischief-lover has few serious moments, because life is one gay whirl to her. She has a cheerful word and a smile for all; yet, her heart, it seems, is given to one. Seldom do you find a more willing and earnest worker; she is certain to succeed no matter what her jwsition. Wilson Tolle bditor-in-Chief of Aurora (4); Football (I. .4); Quill and Scroll (2. 3. 4); News StafT (I. 2, 3. 4); llo Hi Drams (2, 3, 4); Operettas (I, 2. 3, 4); Literary Society (I); The patsy (I); Thank You” (2); Oratorical Contest (I, 2, 3). Every class seems to have its leader and we find leadership in Wilson. He has been dependable on the gridiron, spectacular before the footlights, and has outstanding literary talent. With Tolley” at the controls as Editor-in-Chief of the Aurora, we hope to make a successful flight. Elizabeth Jane Erickson Aurora Staff (4); Quill and Scroll (4); Ho Hi Drams (2. 3); H. H. S. Club (I, 2. 3,4); School librarian (I. 2. 3. 4); Operettas (I. 2. 3); Orchestra (1, 2, 3); Chorus (1, 2. 3); (dec Club (I. 2, 3); Commercial and Academic Courses. Elizabeth is the songbird of Hobart High. She is always singing a gay little tune to cheer us throughout the day. Her ability with a pen won her admittance to the organization of Quill and Scroll. One so widely gifted should achieve a great success. 33 Devere Caldwell Traffic Squad (1, 2, )); General and Commercial Courses. Dinty”, as he is familiarly known, is an all around fellow. Not a particularly active participant in outside activities,—rather, he is an enthusiastic barker of everything. His most outstanding feat has been his introduction of the convict style haircut in the high school. Lillian F. King Basket Ball (1. 2. 3. 4); Class Secretary (2); Class Treasurer (3); H. H. S. Club (4); Operetta (4); Chorus (4); Glee Club (4); General and Commercial Courses. When you see a proverbial blonde dashing after some one, you know it’s the perplexing Lillian. She’s a close guard in basket ball and a fast player. Lillian is also a diligent worker in her extra-curricula activities. Harry Thurber Basket Ball (1, 2); General and Commercial Courses. A tall, rather slow moving chap, is Harry. He comes to his classes, and attends to his own affairs, but outside of school we find that he has quite a bit of vitality. He doesn’t participate in high school athletics, but seems to be very active in such sports as trapping, hunting, fishing, and hockey. 34 Henrietta Ragon Operettas (2, 3, 4); Basket Ball (2); Yell Leader (2. 3. 4); H. H. S. Club (2. 3, 4); Chorus (1. 2, 3, 4); Girls’ Glee Club (1,2); General and Academic Courses. A quick movement, a flashing form, a gurgling laugh,—Henrietta. She’s here, she’s there, spreading laughter and happiness as she goes—never out of place, never out of tunc with the proceedings. As a pep starter, she has few peers. She takes an active part in various school functions, and loyally supports her man”. Russell James Wkttengel Operettas (I, 2, 3); Band (I, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (|, 2, 3. 4); Mixed Chorus (2, 3); Traffic Squad (2); General and Academic Courses. Practice makes perfect, thinks Russell and so saying he practices day and night on his flute; the result—an accomplished musician. ' Rusty”—medium, blonde, and blue-eved— has won many friends by his ready smile. He tries to take part in everything he can and is an ardent sport enthusiast. Claire L. Crisman Chorus (I, 2, 3); Glee Club (I, 2. 3); Ho Hi Drams (2); Librarian (3); Choral Contest (3); Typing Honors (2, 3); Commercial and Academic Courses. Very unassuming is Claire. She belongs to that class of people who always have a pleasant smile, and a cheerful word for all. Her best is never too good for the task assigned. She is very sincere and conscientious in her work. JliAN TRESTI K Aurora Staff (4); Band Sponsor (2, 3, 4); Quill and Scroll (3, 4); H. H. S. Club (2, 3); News Staff (4). Jean has, through literature, traveled into far countries and made the acquaintance of many famous people. She capably assumes the many responsibilities which result from her active part in many organizations. She is a strong, dependable character, in whom teachers and classmates place trust and confidence. Steve Koziol Football (2, 3, 4); Track (I, 2, 3, 4); General and Academic Courses. Steve is one of our subdued chaps who excels highly as a guard in football. Steve is very quiet except when in action on the football field. He is always on the right side of everything when it comes to voicing his opinion, and we know he uses his idle moments to advantage. Dorothy L. Smith Declamatory Contest (1, 2); H. H. S. Club (2, 3, 4); The Valiant” (2); Applesauce” (3); News Staff (3); Aurora Staff (4); Junior High Office (4); Crocodile Isle (4). In the history of this school there always have been all kinds of Dorothys, but never one so short and unique as our little Dot”. For all this shortness she is very talented. Her ability to speak before a large group of people has won her many friends and just as many rewards. Her cheery greetings and sunny smiles are well known in and out of school. 36 Dorothy M. Smith General and Academic Courses. To know her is to love her, and to be her friend is a privilege. She has a personality all her own and one to be envied by many. Her thoughts arc centered out of school but that doesn’t bother Dot’s” studies, because her grades are always more than satisfactory. Her ambition is to be a stenographer, and, we surmise, she’ll make a good one. Courtney Surber Business Manager of Aurora (4); Class Treasurer (3); Honor Roll (I. 2. 3. 4); Quill and Scroll (2, 3); Applesauce (3); Traffic Squad (1, 2); Honors in Typing; Ho Hi Drams (3); Academic Course. Courtney is the handy man of the annual staff, the mathematician of the class, and one who is ever ready to devote his time to help you. Tall and dark, with a sincere manner, this young man is very trustworthy. Another trait of his character which is so commendable is his ability to be responsible. Helen Westbay H. H. S. Club (2. 3. 4); Ho Hi Drams (2. 3); Glee Club (I, 2); Commercial and Academic C-ourses. The only red-headed girl in our class is Helen. She runs contrary to form, for she seldom displays her temper. Her pleasing personality has made her a friend of many. She has had experience in office work and probably will continue in this field of endeavor. 37 Louise M. Bach Honor Roll (I, 2, 3, 4); Vice President of H. H. S. Club (2); Treasurer of H. H. S. Club (4); Treasurer of Quill and Scroll (3); Librarian (2, 3, 4); Aurora Stalf (4); Commercial and Academic Courses. The name Louise immediately reminds one of intelligence, and she is classified as an A-l student. She has been on the honor roll for four consecutive years. Louise is the type who makes a success of everything attempted —a faithful worker to the end. A I.BERT St A NGEBYE Track (3, 4); Cross Country (4); Aurora Staff (4); General and Academic Courses. ''Al”, Art Editor of the Aurora, is one of our most promising seniors. Entering the Art Class last fall, he displayed a natural gift to create; to find expression for unexpressed ideas and emotions. He spent tireless and endless hours in perfecting a single idea. In spite of all praises, he remains the modest, unassuming Al”. Vivian Temple Miller H. H. S. Club (2, 3. 4); Crocodile Island” (4); Glee Club (2. 3. 4); Chorus (2, 3. 4); Choral Contest (3); Librarian (3); Ho Hi Drams (3); Commercial and Academic Courses. Vivian is always cheerful and is known because of her smile for everyone. She is an earnest worker and will go out of her way to help anyone she can. When she has a task to do, she calls forth her best ability and you can be sure the task will be well done. 38 Franklin Rhoades Football (I, 2, 3, 4); Advertising Manager of Aurora (4); Junior Representative of Aurora (3); Traffic Squad (I, 2); Track (I, 2); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3, 4); News Staff (2); The Valiant” (2); Thank You” (2); Sauce for the Goslings” (2). Dusty” is small, but very active, not only in school but in other organizations as well. His cordial smile and pleasant greeting are reserved for no one, but arc equally divided among his friends and co-workers. His varied talents have brought him before the public eye. He has proved his dramatic ability in several productions and has shown his athletic skill on the gridiron. Edith C. Dunning Operettas (I, 3, 4); Quill and Scroll (3. 4); H. H. S. Club (3, 4); News Staff (3, 4); Chorus (1, 2. 4); Glee Club (I, 2, 4); Librarian (4); Ho Hi Drains (3); Literary Editor of Aurora (4); Senior Play (4). If we hear someone chattering, we know it is only Edith talking to Marian about her lessons”. The incessantly moving tongue must be an asset for she has participated in chorus, glee club, and their respective contests. She always has an idea for everything, and proves herself very helpful. William H. MacPherson Basket Ball Manager (4); Honor Roll (I, 3, 4); Operettas (2. 3, 4); Aurora Staff (2, 3, 4); News Staff (2, 3, 4); Quill and Scroll 2. 3. 4); Chorus (2, 3. 4); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3, 4); Traffic Squad (2); Academic and Commercial Courses. billy is a short, perky little chap, who keeps us wondering what he’ll do or say next. He’s a true and loyal sport fanatic and would bet his last dollar, could he muster the courage to part with it, on Hobart. He is always using his pen, if not on school work, in tabulating the proceedings of a basket ball or football game. 39 William K. Brown Traffic Squad (I, 2); Football (I); Basket Ball (I); Track (3, 4); General and Academic Courses. A tall, lank, and loosely built fellow is Billy. Because he confides in no one, we think he is mysterious. Very seldom is he noticed speaking to any member of the fair sex; and, even then, he blushes if questioned. He loyally supports all school activities. Evelyn M. Bell H. H. S. Club (3, 4); Quill and Scroll (3, 4); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3); News Staff (4); Chorus and Glee Club (1, 2, 3. 4); Librarian (2. 3, 4) ; Tulip Time ( 1); Crimson Star (2); Swami of Bagdad (3); Crocodile Island” (4). If asked to describe Evelyn, we would say, Efficient, cheerful, and quiet”. She is a skilled typist and would make a competent office worker. Her charming visage is seen daily at her post in the library. Harold Hamilton General Course. There’s a time for work and a time for play, but we’re led to believe that Harold much prefers the latter. Despite this characteristic he is always alert and very courteous. His jovial spirit and occasional pranks have brought many a laugh in the classroom and assembly. But he can always be depended on when asked to perform a duty—that’s why we’re going to miss him. 40 Charles Dewell Basket Ball (1, 2. , 4); Football (2, J); Traffic Squad (I, 2); General and Academic Courses. Bud” is one of our unusually quiet boys— blond, curly-haired, blue-eyed. He is on the first squad in basket ball. He will be missed by his many under-classmen friends and those Lake-Streetors whom he brings to school in his variegated “Struggle-Buggy”. Virginia Vlrplanke General and Commercial Courses. Her faithful attitude and interest shown toward high school affairs is well appreciated. Virginia is often seen scurrying around school in a jolly manner, willing to help anyone who is in need of a friend. Although she does not participate in many activities, Virginia is a loyal supporter and has never been known to fail. Frank Kraft Jr. Football (I, 2, J); Basket Ball (I, 2, }); Track (1, 2); Traffic Squad (1, 2, J, 4); Crocodile Island (4); General and Commercial Courses. Frank Kraft, the future basket ball referee, is a husky fellow with a cheery, Howdy”. When you see him trying to study in the assembly, you know something exciting is going to happen. He also has dramatic ability which has brought him before the footlights. If you wish any information on sports, ask Krafty. 41 Elizabeth Davis Orchestra (I, 2, 3. 4); Band (3. 4); The Patsy (1); Declamatory Contest (3); Thank Yon (2); Operettas (1, 2, 3); Glee Club (I. 2); H. H. S. Club (4); Commercial and Academic Courses. The sweet strains of the violin, or a loud blast from a horn marks the entrance of Elizabeth. She can make her fiddle” speak in orchestra and produce from her horn the exact notes the director of the band wishes. Her responsibilities seem to be many, but she has always found time to perform every task well. Herbert Niksch Football (3. 4); Basket Ball (I, 2, 3, 4); Traffic Squad (I, 2. 4); General and Commercial Courses. Herbie” is one of the big boys of our class. He played end on the football team and is pivot man on the 1930-31 basket ball squad. His good-natured manner has won many friends for him, and, when the gang” is up to anything, you can expect to find Herb” in their midst. He will be a good man at any position he attempts to occupy. Magdalen Kulage Commercial and Academic Courses. Student and housewife is the two-fold responsibility of this young matron. After having been absent for a few years, and being lured into the field of journalism, she has returned to resume her high school work. Entering whole-heartedly into all activities, she has won her place in the hearts of the students. 42 Mabel Clara Lute General and Commercial Courses. Whenever Mabel is needed you will probably find her in the assembly studying, for she is a very earnest person and ranks high in her school work. She is a lover of literature and spends her leisure time in reading books. Mabel is quite timid—never aggressive—but she staunchly clings to her own opinions. Robert Scholler Football (3, 4); Track (3, 4); Traffic Squad (}); General and Commercial Courses. Bob is a tall lad, having little to say unless necessity demands words and then he can be quite talkative. We cannot term him bashful, although his smile would indicate such a characteristic. Bob upholds the school, attending and helping in school affairs. We arc not quite sure which he favors most, football or dancing, for he has displayed a keen interest in both. Jean M. Peer H. H. S. Club (4); News Staff (4); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3); Who's the Boss” (2); Choral Contest (I, 2); Chorus and Glee Club (1,2, 3); Crimson Star (2); “Swami of Bagdad (3); Commercial and Academic Courses. Quietly but observantly, Jean passes from class to class. She is short and slim with a peculiar pallor that sets off a pair of rich dark eyes. Her favorite pastime is dancing. It seems to have a lure that sweeps her whole-heartedly into the rhythmic strains of the music. 43 Belva Jeffrey H. H. S. Club (2); Commercial and Academic Course . Here is a shy miss, with a sweet smile. Her eyes have a faraway look and she seems to be dreaming of future days. Always an earnest and sincere student, she is little given to idle chatter. So often with her is seen another senior girl that they are called inseparable”. Phillip Keilman Basket Ball (2, 3, 4); Track (2, 3); Football (2. 3, 4); Traffic Squad (I, 2, 4); Aviation Club (2, 3); General and Commercial Courses. Phillip Keilman, better known as Dodo”, is a lover of sports—but girls? Not Dodo”. He is a quiet, good natured fellow. He played a hard clean game in football and basket ball, being rated one of the outstanding athletes during his four years of competition. Elizabeth Christopher Commercial and Academic Courses. We see her smile from time to time as she walks to and from classes in a slow and dignified manner. Many of her friends and interests seem to be outside of school. She never neglects her classroom responsibilities, and she has proved to be strong and dependable. 44 Mae Shearer Claw President (1); Chorus (I, 2, 4); Glee Club (I, 2. 4); H. H. S. Club (2. , 4); Secretary of H. H. S. Club (2); News Staff (I. 2); Aurora Staff (4); Commercial and Academic Courses. Mac, always willing to cooperate in the school activities, has proved herself capable of attaining a high standard in classroom scholarship. She has a demure personality and often appears timid in voicing her opinions. It seems that Mac will find success in the world. Willard Heyer Track (', 4); Traffic Squad (1. 2); General ami Academic Courses. Dark, active, ever-present, but not too conspicuous, a good student—all these are typical of Willard. Though he plays some basket ball, he is more interested in ice-skating, hunting and trapping. Willard is, also, one of our big business men, being connected with the A P Company. Marguerite Eileen Jones H. H. S. Club (3); Commercial and Academic Courses. A vivid sense of humor, a gleam of brightness in her eyes, and a quietness of manner— these characterize Marguerite. A willing member of the Girls’ Club—she scorns other societies—and, we believe, she is more interested in the home than in the business world. 45 Isabelle Gear Entered from Emerson (3); H. H. S. Club (3, 4); News Staff (4); Librarian (4); Declamatory Contest (3); Commercial and Academic Courses. Because she reminds us of a quaint figure stepped from a portrait of other days, we are amazed to find her modern and exceedingly straight-forward. She is an avid reader of good works, and is alert for all news topics of the day. Von Sigler Chorus (I, 2); Glee Club (1, 2); Operettas (I, 2); Track (1. 2); Ho Hi Drams (1, 2); General and Academic Courses. When a whisper or a disturbance is located in the assembly or class room, it is usually attributed to Von. His busy life is full of mischief and hooking” watermelons is his specialty. At times he’s rather studious and surprises everyone—teachers included—by a brilliant answer. His ambition is not known to himself, but he claims it won’t be long until he finds out. As a source of merriment, Von will be missed. Sophia Price Class Treasurer (I): Class Secretary (2); Honor Roll (2. 3); H. H. S. Club (2); Operettas (2. 3); Chorus (1. 2. 3); Glee Club (1, 2); (icncral and Academic Courses. To outsiders Sophia appears to be shy and quiet, but her friends can readily read the twinkle in her dark brown eyes. Lively and vivacious, intellectual and ambitious, that’s our Sophia. She tells us little about her ambitions, or other personal matters; rather, she seems to get a lot of fun out of keeping others guessing. We know she has the ability, and should become successful with a little drive to back up her qualities of intelligence and perseverance. xsu jm 46 Helen M. Shirey Filtered from Lew Wallace in her sophomore year; Mo Hi Drams (3); H. H. S. Club (4); Chorus (2, 3, 4); Glee Club (2. 3, 4); Swami of Bagdad (3); Crocodile Island (4); Commercial and Academic Courses. W'ith her cheery manner and catchy smile, she has won her way into our hearts. Typifying the friendly spirit attributed to seniors, she proves herself a true and reliable friend to all. Her curly black hair and twinkling eves add to her personal charm. Charles Frame Entered from Horace Mann in his junior year; Band (3, 4); President of the Band (4); Quill and Scroll (3, 4); Ho Hi Drams (3, 4); Aurora Staff (4); Applesauce” (3); Senior Play (3); General and Academic Courses. Among our newcomers is Charles Frame, who entered Hobart High from Horace Mann in his junior year. This handsome blond is admired by both sexes because of his willing personality. He is inclined to blush from embarrassment at the most unexpected times. Charles has been a faithful member of our music organizations, and much credit is due him for his work on the year-book. Evelyn Brovett Commercial and Academic Courses. Evelyn entered from Horace Mann in her senior year. She is, as we might say, a new-old triend for her grammar school days were spent in Hobart. Although quiet and reserved, Evelyn appreciates everything that is worthwhile. She believes that school is a place for work and spends most of her time studying and improving her general knowledge. 47 Albert C. Rose Football (2. 3. 4); Basket Ball (I, 2. 3. 4); Track (I, 2, 3, 4); Traffic Squad (I, 2); General Course. Here’s to do or die—that’s the impression one receives of Bum” as he goes racing down the field for another touchdown. We never know whether Bum” is happy or merely trying to be. Occasionally he cuts classes, and at times seems to be rather sleepy in assemblies, but this does not interfere with his studies. A good athlete and sportsman arc Bum’s” chief merits. Eleanore A. E. Flood Chorus (I, 2. 3); Glee Club (1. 2. 3); Operetta (3); II. II. S. Club (4); Ho Hi Drams (3); News Staff (4); Choral Contests (1, 2, 3); Commercial and Academic Courses. With a friendly smile Eleanore accepts her daily encounters making the most of whatever it is that she must do. She is an ardent worker and has been active in all enterprises throughout her high school career. She will be remembered for her pleasant countenance and willing nature. Lee A. Wanamaker Jr. looluall (I, 3, 4); Basket Ball (I, 2); Track (I, 2); Traffic Squad (2); Ho Hi Drams (I, 2); Aurora Staff (4); General and Academic Courses. Lee is a tall, husky fellow. His straightforwardness wins him many friends. We often hear the exhaust of Lee’s motorcycle long before we see him going for his daily ride. He is a strong man on the gridiron and an enthusiastic basket ball fan. 48 John Hancock Honor Roll (I, 2, 3, 4); Literary Society (I); Traffic Squad (I, 2, 3); Class Officers (I, 2); Quill and Scroll (2); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3. 4); Basket Ball Editor, Aurora (4); News Staff (2, 3, 4); Academic and Commercial Courses. The quiet and serious mien of this lad is betrayed by the fun-loving twinkle in his eyes. He simply can not resist mischief, and a little practical joking now and then. However, lie works earnestly when once enrolled, and is one of our most active sport writers. Hi:lyn M. Kostbade Operettas (2. 4); Quill and Scroll (3. 4); Honor Roll (I, 2, 3. 4); H. H. S. Club (2. ). 4); Aurora Staff (4); News Staff (2, 3, 4); Ho Hi Drams (3); Librarian (4); Chorus (2. 3. 4); Glee Club (2, 3). Hclyn Kostbade is an excellent student. There’s always a jolly atmosphere prevailing when Helyn is near with her light-hearted and friendly manner. She is an ardent devotee of her class and of all school activities. Dancing is her hobby. Jack Killigrew Chorus (I, 2, 3, 4); ‘Tulip Time (I); Crimson Star (2); Swami of Bagdad” (3); Crocodile Island (4); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3. 4); Quill and Scroll (2. 3, 4); Editor-in-C.hicf of News Staff (4); Typing Honors (3. 4); Honor Roll (3). Whenever he speaks we laugh—not at him but with him. Smiling and ready, he is never amiss to a bit of fun; nevertheless, he is capable of accomplishing an enormous amount of work. A good sport, willing worker,—these combined with a light heart make Jack the success he is. 49 Wilma Baker H. H. S. Club (J); Ho Hi Drams (I, 2. )); Operettas (I, 2, 4); Librarian (I, 2, J, 4); Chorus and Glee Club (I, 2, ), 4); General and Academic Courses. Dark? Yes, very much so. She has black hair, an olive skin, and liquid brown eyes that always sparkle. Very talkative, yet for all her talking one senses an air of mystery hovering about her. Maybe some day someone will solve this mystery, but we arc content to have Wilma just as she is. Carl Sapper Commercial and General Courses. Carl is a jolly, carefree boy, who always seems to be having a good time. He does not take an active part in the school activities, but he loyally supports them. Occasionally we see Carl wearing an original color combination and dashing across the assembly with something funny to tell someone. He likes to dance and he has nothing against girls. Juanita Goff Commercial and Academic Courses. Shy, quiet, and reserved Juanita is quick to smile when spoken to and always has a ready answer for some inquiry. She is an ardent student and ranks high in her studies. Her hobby of reading has aided her greatly in expressing her ideas clearly and concisely. She is gifted with blonde hair and blue eyes. 50 Marjorie I Roper II. H. S. Club (2. 3. 4); New Staff (3. 4); Quill and Scroll (4); Aurora Staff (4); President of H. II. S. Club (3). During her high school career, Marjorie has shown great leadership and executive ability. Regardless of the task assigned, you can count on Marj to accomplish it. Her winning way and friendly smile have won her many friends. She is dependable, reliable, and sociable; and we can expect great things of her in later years. Donald Fowble Operettas (I, 2, 3, 4); Chorus (1, 2, 3. 4); Glee (dub (4); Aurora Staff (4). “There—just a little to the left.” Oh, how the under-classmen remember that familiar phrase. ’Joe” was the class photographer. We will always recall the way he entered a classroom and the business-like air he used as lie adjusted the lights. Donald is using his natural ability to the best advantage and we wonder what life holds for him. Marian C. Bonath Operettas (1. 3, 4); H. H. S. Club (4); News Staff (2, 3, 4); Chorus (I. 2. 4); Glee Club (1, 2, 4); Librarian (3); Ho Hi Drams (3); Aurora Staff (4); Academic and Commercial Courses. One never knows whether she is happy or blue, because she always veils her feelings. Her studies are sometimes neglected, for she would rather see herself pass by the breadth of a hair, than burn nightly the midnight oil. Marian is an ardent devotee to her class and to all school activities, especially when it comes to dancing. Mae L. Kramer Aurora Staff (4); H. H. S. Club (2, 3, 4); Librarian (2, 3); Operettas (1, 2, 4); Glee Club (I, 2, 4); Commercial and Academic Courses. Mac seems to be a patient and happy-go-lucky girl with lots of merriment and a catchy smile. At times, however, she is sedate and quiet. Those twinkling blue eyes of hers seem to hold the interest of a certain junior. Arthur Nelson Rand (I, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (3, 4); Chorus (1, 4); Operetta (4); General and Commercial Courses. A mere glance at his name tells half the story about this small, musically inclined senior. To be sure, he’s a blonde, blue-eyed Swede— and one mustn’t overlook that natural lisp of his. We are assured that there arc few idle moments in the routine of Arthur’s daily life for he seems to always have plenty to do; and, what’s more, an intention to do it. Olive Lee Girls’ Basket Ball (2, 3, 4); Aurora Staff (4); H. H. S. Club (4); Ho Hi Drams (3); Academic and Commercial Courses. Olive Lee represents one of the best jump-centers in the history of Hobart girls’ basket ball, and she is an all around good sport. She has a tendency to be very quiet but when on the basket ball floor she shows her pep and vigor. Olive also has ability as a stenographer, which she practices as her Dad’s assistant. 32 ORGANIZATION MR. REVELLI When this twinkling-eyed member of our faculty arrived five years ago, one could merely guess at his talent. At present, however, there is no need for guessing. In this short time, he has popularized the yearly operetta, and has formed and developed a band which rated National Champs for 1930. We have unfaltering faith in him and sincerely hope he will not stray to some other field to exercise his ability. TROPHY The winning of the trophy shown here is the result of many things: the whole- hearted community support, the faithfulness of the members through long hours of practice, the patient effort of Mr. Rcvelli, and the co-operation of all interested in the band’s welfare. The cooperation of all these secured for us the National Trophy in Class B for 1930. Happy are we in its possession, and may it find a permanent place in our trophy case! 5 J Hack Row: Carl Schwuchow, Charolette Wilson, Edward Perry, Robert Griffith, Ray- mond Klauck, Robert Ramsey, Edward Klausen, Lorraine Hoos, Edna Allen.

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Many beautiful melodious strains of music and close harmony entertain us through happy hours of enjoyment.

MIXED CHORUS The members of this group have had many happy hours working together. And because of these happy hours, we are the gainers. The annual operetta produced by these students gives pleasure to us by carrying us away from the ordinary phases of life. Each year its popularity grows, and the number of this organization increases. 58 CROCODILE ISLAND” Cast of Characters Thomas Brooks (an American college student) Jefferson Pcnficld (a fellow traveler) Dr. Amos McSnoozer (a gem collector) King Bongazoola (monarch of Crocodile Island) Nitwit (the royal chamberlain) Coco Orinoco (a uily old wizard) Hopalong Simpson (a gentleman of color) Pearl (daughter of the king) Petal (her younger sister) Sarah Crisp (a trained nurse) Abigail Brewster (who knows her own mind) Mammy Lu (a royal heirloom) ... ...

The brilliant chorus of tourists, natives, sailors, attendants, and the cast, enchanted the audience for the evening with its rendition of this splendid musical comedy. 59 Back Row: Cora Nichols, Wilma Baker, Harriet McClaran, Marian Bonath, Violet Haas, Horence Reichert, Bernice Kostbade, Winifred Parsons, Helen Shirey, Florence Thiel, Evelyn Bell.

The high clear soprano mingled with the mellow alto notes rings like a duet of melodious harmony. Under the direction of Miss Mary L. Robinson, the group studies patiently to enjoy expression in song. Each year the girls work earnestly for honors in the choral contest; but, due to strong competition, they have been unable to attain more than honorable mention. We arc proud of them. 60 DRAMATIC and LITERARY In addition to sports and music, Hobart High School boasts of a highly talented dramatic and literary department Through these extracurricula activities students have been trained in the art of self-expression, self-control, and self-reliance.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB For three years the pupils of Hobart High School have loyally supported this club. The application for membership has always exceeded the limit of enrollment. The club enjoys not only the thrill of acting dramatic scenes before an appreciative audience, but also the reading of many plays, and the study of the technique of production. Miss Thelma Fcttcrcr has capably sponsored the dramatic movement in Hobart High School. 64 TIGER HOUSE” Cast of Characters Erma Lowrie lone Wood Yami, a Hindu ................ ....Harry Ciszck Sophia Broderick Lucille Greko Murdock, a servant Ettabell Reed Macintosh Easterling Allen Arthur Hale David Dunning Oswald Kerens.... .....Paul Jackson pcggy Van Ess Betty Thiel Thompson Venice Moss Mystery W oman Edna Mundell Tiger Man.................................... ????????

The boys have recently been equipped with Sam Brown belts which add an air of authority to their appearance. At the end of each year, the city of Hobart rewards these representatives of safety with a banquet and theater party which is attended by the Mayor, Members of the City Council, Chief of Police, Superintendent of Schools, and other dignitaries of Hobart. 67 Back Row: Winifred Parsons, Betty Pavel, Helen Reuter, Elizabeth Erickson, Irene Bolton, Marjorie Roper, Louise Bach, Edith Dunning, Isabelle Gear, Lillian King.

LIBRARIANS These faithful lassies are responsible for that corner of the assembly we call our library”. Their unfailing vigil is kept morning, noon, and night—thus enabling our industrious and pleasure-seeking students to find what they want, without the aid of a Sherlock Holmes or Dr. Watson. Our library has been enlarged considerably, but these student librarians are not daunted by their new responsibility. Their orderliness and quietness set an example to the rest of the students. 68 ANNUAL STAFF To add atmosphere to their work on the Aviation Edition of the Aurora, the Staff motored to the Gary Airport one winter afternoon.

Lindbergh A few handshakes, the creak of a heavily laden plane, the scraping of wheels as the ship maneuvered for the takeoff, and a defiant roar from the sturdy motor as the ship leveled off for Paris marked the beginning of Lindbergh’s bid for fame. Begun in comparative obscurity, it ended in a smashing acclaim in the French capital that made the entire world take notice. Although besieged with hundreds of theatrical offers and opportunities to commercialize his fame, Lindbergh never lost sight of the purpose of his flight—to convince the world that aviation was fast becoming as safe as any other mode of travel. Returning to the United States, he engaged in a scries of long distance non-stop flights, again and again driving home that first lesson. Now, when his flights are beginning to bear fruit, Lindbergh is still working to further his chosen work. Through his courage, modesty, and ability to overcome obstacles, the Lone Eagle has earned a leading place in the world’s fraternity of Air Heroes. 70 OBSERVATION 71 AIRPLANE VIEWS— lint to tlte experienced eye, it may lh• discerned t xit tlfey u ere taken from t! e city’s water tou er.

THE SOCIAL LOG Charity Drive Everyone brought his out-grown garments for the H. H. S. Club. Many, having no old clothes, brought food. Baskets of the latter were distributed to the needy families of Hobart the day before Thanksgiving. 'Twas an odd feeling we had, when we saw our gonc-but-not-forgottcn clothes on some of the little children. junior Benefit Show ’ The Big Pond”, alias the Junior Benefit show, arrived on the fourth night of November. l or weeks the Juniors had been selling tickets and advertising their show by speeches and posters. Now at last the results of the r labor were revealed. At seven o'clock every seat had been taken for the first show and a line of people, eagerly waiting for the second show, began to form. News Staff Party Marjorie Roper was hostess to the News Staff, November nineteenth. Evidently the members expected a gala time as they all arrived sooner or later. After being divided into groups according to birthdays, each group presented a variety number. After this the evening was spent in dancing until a late hour when the refreshments were served. Johnny Hancock asked for a second serving of date pudding. We wonder if the name had anything to do with the request. Aurora Staff Party All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Acting upon this ancient proverb, Edith Brown gave a party in honor of the Aurora Staff on the night of February seventh. I he house was attractively decorated in keeping with the Valentine season. Games and dancing comprised the evening’s entertainment and at a late hour delicious refreshments were served. Senior Valentine Dance The date was February fourteenth and the social room of The Mundell School had been transformed into a ballroom of hearts. Streamers of red and white were to be seen everywhere. The programs were heart-shaped affairs, very much in keeping with the decorations. Many couples were dancing to the snappy strains of Sonny’s Syncopators, seemingly having the time of their lives. Balloons were given as favors and soon everywhere one could hear the sound of balloons bursting, and the wails of their once-proud possessors. At one o’clock the foot-sore and weary crowd dispersed after a happy evening. Quill ami Scroll Party The much anticipated annual social meeting of the Quill and Scroll was held at the Library, February tenth. The guests listened patiently to the literary efforts of the club members. After the last theme was read the best was chosen. I he business meeting being over, many games and stunts were enjoyed. The boys created merriment when they gave their interpretation of the Spirit of Youth! Delicious refreshments were served. Dancing Class One, two, three, hop, and glide. Such were the echoes heard weekly at the dancing classes. These classes, sponsored by the Juniors, were held in The Mundell School every Wednesday evening from seven-thirty till ten-thirty. Many students attended them and learned to dance under the able instruction of Mr. Gallagher and to the snappy strains of Sonny Ramsey’s orchestra. 73 Christ was Couvo Everyone rushed through with his dinner and hurried back to school; it was December nineteenth—the day of the Christmas convo. Everyone was ready for the program by the time the twelve forty-five bell rang. After an endless wait, it was one o’clock. Mr. Lawler, as the genial master of ceremonies, introduced Mr. Rcvelli, who led the singing of Christmas carols. Having finished with this pleasing diversion, a play was announced. John Gant, Irene Bolton, Bill Jamison, Harvey Parkhurst, and Emily Jones presented a short script entitled Sam’s Christmas”. This was favorably received by a very enthusiastic audience. Next on the program was a group of readings by Dorothy Smith, who never fails to please. Evelyn Bell rendered a charming vocal selection. Soon the Presides started to cheer, for Santa Claus had just walked in. This was a strange Santa, however, for instead of bringing presents, he took presents from us to the poor.

Juniors were scurrying about as if the success of their prom depended upon the last minute rush. The social room had been transformed into a veritable fairy-land. Palms, blue and gold streamers, and tea roses were all about. Here, there, and everywhere, couples were assembled waiting for the appointed hour of the banquet. Finally, the long looked-for array of food was served. Much laughter and chattering prevailed. Harvey Shults, toastmaster, opened the avalanche of speeches. Harvey Shults and Bob Hawke spoke for their respective classes. Mr. Dickey’s little reminiscences of our many foolish acts closed the program. The guests received favors before going to the ball-room. After the grand march, headed by the officers of the two classes, the couples drifted into a dreamy waltz. At a late hour the orchestra played Home Sweet Home”. The prom given by the Seniors of ‘32 in honor of the Seniors of ’3 1 had come to a close. 74 T - ‘Xjyjoq pup XiuiiPtpwitt sHuuq uospm fo jbuM j V 'J!fP I HPfl fP iim i ;p tfJfX Mfi I (]noj : r yur � j ontofa l� IO . • ; • ‘hpuk sjj-i r fo Sni n mi xp ju.tufo . ux p. pjrX. jsip jjp .� Pj J pur •• « 'uoyp.

CALL Not many schools arc fortunate enough to have a coach such as Mr. Call. He is a real pal to his players and his treatment of them brings a harvest of hard work. When it is necessary to drive home his teaching. Coach Call is always prompt to jump into a pair of moleskins and take the bumps of the game with his team. During the three years he has coached at Hobart, his teams have constantly improved in calibre. Here’s wishing him luck for a bigger and better football season. CAPTAIN GRESSER Captain Gresser led his team from the fullback position and was in the game” from start to finish. He has earned the respect of his team mates in three years of service, and as captain he has been able to help his men to a great advantage. Jud” has played his last high school football game and his absence from the lineup will be felt greatly. 89 Fifth Row: Sanford Mood, Harvey Shults, Stanley Koziol, Frank Kraft, John Mellon, Coach Call, Dwight Smith, Harold Perry, William Armstrong.

FOOTBALL SQUAD The 1930 Football Squad has played through what is, perhaps, Hobart’s most successful football season. Although our team did not win the conference title, the opposition was much stiflfer, and it was met by the team in better fashion than ever before. Graduation will take eleven members of the squad, but enough others are coming up to build a team of championship rating.

As the game got under way, Captain Grosser was forced to leave the fray with an injury which he acquired in a bad pile-up. A change in the lineup caused the signals to become crossed, and as a result, Hobart’s offense was rendered useless. Along with other injuries, Bum” Rose’s absence from the game made victory an almost hopeless task for the Brickies. 91 Kalman's Victory Plunge HOBART—LEW WALLACE Lew Wallace launched into the 1930 season as the conference dark horse and came to Hobart keyed for a great battle. The game attracted many rooters from both schools and was played under ideal weather conditions. Hobart, after blowing two chances, finally scored late in the second quarter to win by a margin of one touchdown. This was quite a feat, due to the fact that four regulars, three of them backfield men, were out of the game because of injuries. In the above picture, Keilman, substitute fullback, who did most of the ground gaining for Hobart, is seen plunging over from Wallace’s 11-yard line. In all, the game was an inspiring comeback from the defeat of the week before. c. McManus I). FLEMING S. MATTIX D. B RIGHT 92 Grcsscr Gains on a lake End Run HOBART—HAMMOND TECH Up to the date of this game most of the conference opposition had been pointing for Hobart in a vain attempt to dethrone the king. A capacity crowd was present at Turner Field, Hammond, to see the leading contenders for the Little Seven leadership tangle in an attempt to settle for once and all, the question of conference supremacy. The first half contained no real excitement, the teams playing to a 0-0 deadlock. The first score of the game was registered when Tech took a bad Hobart punt on Hobart’s 19-yard line. A real battle ensued, and Hammond Tech again managed to score in the last minute of play to win 12-0. V.JACKSON L. LESTIKOW W. TOLLE R. LEE 9J Rose Skirts Central's lx t End HOBART—HAMMOND CENTRAL The Hobart griddcrs won their last football game of the 1930 campaign from the strong Catholic Central outfit from Hammond. Each team, playing at Turner Field, Hammond, was weakly supported by rooters from its high school. The day furnished favorable football weather and thus the stage was set for a 13-0 win in favor of Hobart. Central appeared on the field with a squad of big men, but Hobart turned in the first score when Bum” Rose showed a pair of flying heels to his pursuers in an attack on Central’s right end. Hobart was largely able to gain at will from here on and cinched victory when Dodo Kcilman intercepted a short pass and ran 65 yards to a score. 94 COACH EASTON X'e stand in tribute to a son of Indiana —one whose high sporting ideals, patience and winning teams have brought him to the front. Coach F.aston is a natural born leader and a moulder of clean, hard fighting teams. A man whose very words instill fresh enthusiasm into his teams and make them rise to greater heights. We are, indeed fortunate in having such a capable man to guide our team on the right course. 7 TROPHY The trophy is given as evidence of a team’s highest achievement—superiority in a given field. A prize with little intrinsic value but for which men have conquered the seemingly unconquerable. A symbol of a champion moulded for a champion. This trophy, won by the Lawlcrman last year and again by Coach Easton’s proteges the current year, is evidence of a Little Seven Championship in basketball. Hobart, striving for perfection, guided by masterly hands, has been rewarded this emblem and title, Little Seven” Champions twice in succession, in the 1929-30 season, again the season of 1930-3 1. 9 Back Row: Albert Rose, Lawrence Grosser, Kenneth Seigesmund, Kenneth Carlson, Herbert Niksch, Stewart Mattix, Charles Dewell, John Roper.

BRICKIES We introduce the Brickies and incidentally Little Seven” Champions of 193 1. A fine squad of boys, who are interested in basketball and love to play it, both for themselves and for their Coach. Out of this squad, containing only three letter-men of last year. Coach Easton has moulded a team which ranks as one of the best in the Calumet District. These lads, by their hard work and fighting spirit, coupled with able instruction by Coach Easton, have captured their second Little Seven” basketball title in as many years. They have experienced defeats, but as a rule only by a few points, and they have had several of the foremost quintets of this region as their victims.

Their teams, no matter what their past records, always play as only rivals can with the to do or die spirit. This year the Brickies proved themselves just a little strong for the county scaters and treated them to the short end of a 28-20 defeat. The final score belies the differences in the strength of the two teams; for although the Hubbers managed to gather twenty points, almost half of these were made against the Reserves who relieved the regulars in the last half, for just twenty-three minutes, or one minute short of three quarters, the Hub offense was held to a lone field goal. K. SEIGESMUND F. FAR NAN J. ROPFR A. ROSE 97 A Brickie Rally in Action HOBART—ROOSEVELT Roosevelt stands out as one of Hobart’s bitterest opponents, and a game between these two teams always means a battle to the finish. Each year that Hobart has played the East Chicago quintet the outcome of the game has been doubtful until the final gun. The Brickies, after being held scoreless for the first two quarters, came back strong in the last half to overcome a heavy lead; but, even after tying the score, they were unable to provide the extra punch necessary for the win. A couple of long baskets by the Ruff Riders in the last minute gave them a 25-21 win. c. McManus S. MATT1X L. LFSTIKOVf W. JACKSON 98 Who Got the Tip-Off? HOBART—FROEBEL Handicapped by the loss of the regular center, Hobart suffered its most severe cage setback of the season at the hands of the Froebel Blue Devils. The Brickies had an off night and were unable to present any organized attack. The Kylemcn jumped into a big lead at the start of the game and meanwhile kept Hobart beyond the vicinity of the foul circle, where they were unable to get many good scoring chances. I his was the Brickies only reverse in which the margin of defeat was more than four points. H. NIKSCH K. CARI.SON L. GRESSF.R 99 A Tense Moment for the Reserves HOBART RESERVES—WHEELER A few weeks prior to this win the Seconds had whipped Wheeler in an overtime affair by a lone point. This game was also a nip and tuck affair, but the Reserves rallied in the last minutes to win. The young Brickbats” trailed at the end of the first quarter but came back strong to battle on even terms with the Green and White and in the final minutes put on a drive that swept them to a four point win. Roper, Hobart guard, was on the scoring end of the last two field goals, that brought home the bacon. The Freshman St nad 100 MR. LAWLER Mr. Lawler coached track and basket ball in Hobart High School from 1923 till 1930. During this time, his boys progressed from rough and tumble, hit or miss teams, to their present state of organization. Under his supervision, our teams have always been better than average; and, although Hobart claims no state championships, such leadership deserves the praise of every fan in Hobart. CAPTAIN ROSE Some schools arc gifted with athletes who can do anything well. Hobart happens to be one of them, for Captain Bum” Rose runs the 100, 220, and 440-yard dashes, and when he is the best physically he will get off a broad jump of twenty feet to end a perfect day. Those twenty points, along with a few others, go a long way toward winning a big meet where mediocre athletes have a hard time in placing. Bum” came through the Little Seven” Conference Meet with high scoring honors, took second in the 220 at the sectional, and also participated in the Stagg National Inter-Scholastic Meet at Chicago.

TRACK AND FIELD Coach Lawler started the 19J0 track season with a number of prospects for a great campaign. Four or five reliable men had practically cinched places in seven events, and with this display of power in full view. Crown Point stepped in with a well-balanced squad, upset the dope-bucket and ruined Hobart’s hopes for three conference titles in one year. Such is the way of sports. SCHEDULE April 7.

Captain Bum” Rose won the 440-yard dash in 5 5.6 seconds and broke the meet record for the 220 by traveling the distance in 23.8 seconds. Bob Lee earned the other 1 4 5 points of Hobart’s total when he tied with four other high jumpers at five feet four and one-half inches. There were so many on the field that only a brilliant performer was able to score. Crown Point won the meet with 27 4 5 points. 103 Rose Winning the Quarter Mile CONFERENCE MEET Hobart went to Crown Point with high hopes of winning her third athletic title of the school year. Crown Point also had hopes, and by taking an eight point lead in the first event and placing in seven of the nine remaining, left the outcome undisputed. Captain Rose of Hobart, individual high scorer of the meet, won two firsts and two seconds for an aggregate of 16 points. He set new meet records in the 220 and 440 yard dashes by winning them in 23.1 and 52.8 seconds respectively. I.cc and Matrix added five points to make a total of 2 1 points. S. MATTIX S. KOZIOE K.

In addition to this personality she is skillful in training girls in Physical Culture. BABE” GILL Clara, better known as Babe”, captains the sextet from her position as foward.

THE HOBART SEXTET Athetically speaking, we arc sure the Hobart Sextet has done its best. It has suffered from the hands of fate, but yet maintained its grip on that fighting spirit. Where good, clean sportsmanship is concerned, its members have never been known to fall below the highest standard set by previous Hobart teams.

CROSS COUNTRY A class in basket ball and cross country for the younger boys was organized by Coach Easton last fall for the purpose of preparing them for work with the varsity during the campaign of 1930-31. A number of boys came out and entered into the work with a spirit which won varsity positions for several of them. Besides their regular basket ball routine, Coach Easton scheduled two meets with Froebcl for the boys. Although Froebel won both meets, the definite purpose of the class physical development—was established and results thus far have been very satisfactory. 107 THE PEPPY THREE Our “Peppy Three —Hennie, Johnnie, June—are always on the spot when it comes to making noise. They bravely attempt to make our efforts in the art of yelling co-ordinate. Their costumes of purple and gold, as well as their smiles, brighten the atmosphere at all our basket ball games. Perhaps, our enthusiasm isn’t as high, or our yells as loud as you would like them to be, but we appreciate your efforts, our own Peppy Three”. Zigitty boom! Zigitty boom! Mu—rrah! Hobart High! Rah!
