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.
