FRESHMEN We entered high school with the hurry and flurry that only freshmen can make. After many thrilling experiences, we found ourselves distributed all over the building A few weeks after entering we had our first class meeting which, indeed, was a howling success. Kenneth Rieck was elected President; Chuck Greenspan, Vice-President; Paul Zander, Secretary; and Jacqueline Quinn, Treasurer. We decided to be true freshmen and so, chose as our class colors, green and white . On the evening of March 17, 1938, we had our first class party, a St. Patrick Day Party. Some of our talented classmates present ed a one-act play; others were contest- ants in an amateur show. Everyone enjoyed this first and last party of our first year in Hobart High. This year ended, leaving us happy sophomores. CT OP HO MORE S Here beginneth the trials and tribulations of our sophomore year! We met for our election of officers and returns were as follows: President, Marlynn Fleck; Vice- President, Victoria Pflughoeft; Secretary, Anna Michich; and Treasurer, Myrtle Eens- chel. With this capable quartet as our leaders we started upon another year. On October 13, we had a roller-skating party at Hammond. Aside from the many collisions and tumbles, this party was a great success. At our next meeting, we nominated Marlynn Fleck to go to Indianapolis on an edu- cational trip through the Legislature and Senate. The trip proved worthwhile and interesting. And thus ends another year. iVUM OPE How jolly juniors and upper classmen. We chose as class officers for the year: President, John Routes; Vice-President, Jane Ferguson; Secretary, Betty Jane Greene; and Treasurer, Marian Ledyard. Our matinee dances, with music by Kaleck ' s band, proved to be a big success and just loads of fun The first order of class rings arrived just in time for Christmas Orange sales made a nice profit to pay for our big affair: The 1940 Prom On the evening of May 3, upon arriving at Marquette Park Pavillion, we checked our wraps and with our knees knocking to the tune, Hawaii Calls, went upstairs into the ballroom. Then we engaged ourselves in filling out our dance programs for the evening. Swaying palm trees, Hawaiian huts and leis formed the lulling scene in which we glided to the strains of Babe Roth ' s orchestra. A lovely evening of waltzes, rhumbas and polkas was concluded with the playing of the tune Aloha. The Picnic A grand and glorious time was had by all at the picnic held at Marquette Fark. Baseball games were the big events of this evening. In both the girls ' and boys ' games, we juniors politely bowed to our superiors. A few of the braver went swimming or wading, but most of us were content to walk along the beach. After romping around the woods, come and get it, was music to our earsT Thanks goes to the seniors of ' 40 for another swell time.

IV BD TOR AL It is the ‘general opinion of students that after graduation day the hard work of life is over; on the contrary, it has just begun. For those who are going to college the problem of finding employment will be put off for some ti e , but eventually, just like those who will face the problem of finding a job as soon as graduation is over, they will have to find their place in life. That place should be one where you are best fitted — the place where you can benefit the welfare of society as a whole. It is true each of you will not find the job you enjoy the most, but no matter what field of life you explore, try to do your best. Work should be honorable and well done. After graduation, education shouldn ' t end. Continue your studying as it will help make you a success. Whether you work with your hands or not, always keep this in mind: Manual training is essential to brain training and brain training depends on manual training. looking backward you can see many mistakes and wish that they had never been made, but it is too late to look back. Keep your eyes on the future l Your ' training in school will have a great effect on the life which you lead later. If you were courteous, friendly, prompt, dependable, ambitious and trust- worthy, you w ' ill easily adjust yourself society. Then graduation is over, go out onto the highway of life and make something of yourself. Climb the ladder of life and don ' t be content until the ton step of success is reached. THB ROAD AHEA£ Upon taking our leave of Hobart Higtv we seniors pause for a moment. Just long enough for a few mental ramblings — some memories, some forethought. We have come to a parting of the ways — what shall our course be? Behind us is a smooth highway, which in regard to the one before us, was com- paratively easy. Our former care and the attention we showed to training will be a telling factor in this new life. The road in front of us is full of bumps, holes and detours. The going will be tough and perhaps our endurance will be insufficient to warrant continuing. The road side and even the ditch will be dot- ted with many who couldn ' t make the grades some of then will urge us to join them. If we keep our eyes to the front and, heedless of the difficulties, march for- ward, our efforts will be rewarded. For on this road, which is like a muddy, country lane, there is much happiness, too, that can be likened unto a bright spring day with the birds singing and the sun shining. At the end of the journey no one knows what is waiting for us — we only know that it is s reward worth winning and a resting place. While we are on this road let us play the role of 3ood Samaritan showing happiness, good will, truth and honesty and creating a good influence for others to follow. If we do this and work in cooperation with those around us the way cannot prove too difficult.
