IMPROVED FACILITIEES ADDED TO SCHOOLS REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS, NEW EQUIPMENT WILL HELP THIS YEAR’S STAFF ' The old order changeth, yield- ing place to new. . . ” Responding to the dynamic trend of today, the physical aspect of the Hebert public school system has undergone several changes since school closed last spring. Many replacements, repairs, and hew materials have been added to the schools this fall. The biology department now has wat r facilities and a new seascope. A portable saw, drill press, planer, and grinder have been purchased for the building trades classes. Mr. Martin has remodeled the wood- shop, converting it into a general shop in which are included wood- work, metal work, and electrical work. The commercial classes have four new typewriters, and th ' e printing upp has new type and a new type cabinet. Several new lockers were purchased i n order to eliminate the necessity of crowding three persons into one locker, as was done last year. The High School library now is in Room 321, the former music room, and the music room now is in Room 313. Maple floors and new tread on the stairs have improved the cen- frol portion of the main High School building. The door leading from the High School hall into the girls’ locker room has been widened. Two fireproof filing cabinets will be installed in the office for stud- ents records. Desk-chairs have been purchased for one room in the High School. (Continued on page 4) BRICKIE PINS GO OVER BIG! .Approximately three hundred Brickie pins” were sold last week under the sponsorship of the Junior c ass. Miss Horne, class sponsor in charge, reoorted that the project was so successful that the entire supply has been exhausted. “The student body cooperated splendid- ly, she said. The opportunity through the pag es of this publication to convey ai expression of gratitude to the stud ents, teachers, and citizens of th community is greatly appreciated it there were any misgivings anc doubt upon my part regarding ; new and strange situation, thej w f re Quickly and permanently dis- solved by the genuine courtesy anc friendliness of all with whom J have come in contact. This com- munity has come to be home in a miraculously short time. Such rap- id orientation on my part has left me with a firm conviction that the students, parents, and citizens want and intend to have the finest school n northwestern Indiana. Likewise he teachers share that determina- tion. There remains nothing but the cooperative action and the achievement that follows that act- ion for the community to realize that very desirable goal. I am privileged to pledge the energies and talents of the teaching staff to such an attainment. There is no finer student body than that of Hobart High. There is no more efficient teach- ing staff than the one you have. There is no more cooperative and interested community than our own. The existence of such a combin- ation presages the finest year in the history of the public schools of our city. It is a genuine privilege to be a part of and to participate in the program that will lead to such a goal. WILLIAM F KENDALL PRINCIPAL HOBART SCHOOLS HIRE TEN NEW TEACHERS WILLIAM A.

If you haven t, then here is your chance to read of one. In Jane Scudder’s book, ‘•Modelling My Life”, she tells her life story, beginning with her debut at the Chicago World s Fair in 1893.

Among them are Frederick MacMonnies and Stanford White. The story is told with gaiety and charm, it depicts a life of courage and hu- mor, crowned by success.

HINTS FOR HEALTH BROkEM HEART CORNER (Contributed by the Girls’ Health Class) I Do you want to spend the rest of your life fating applesauce? If you do. just follow these few simple rules: Don’t — 1. Brush our teeth twice daily — it’s too much bother. 2. See your dentist at least twice a year — all he learned in six years of college was how to de- velop x-rays. 3. Remove tartar from your teeth — save it and use it wit! ' fi’h. 4. Eat any raw food — you re no cannibal. 5. Chew your food thoroughly— you’ve got a cast iron stomach. Do — | l. Use dental flo-s to catch fish — makes a good line. 2 Eat foods with p ' enty of sugar —you might be able to develop diabetes too. 3. Eat soft foods— then you won t have to chew so hard. 4. Use plenty of toothpicks — they’re especially good for jab- bing gums. . 5. If anv of these don t work just run into a brick wall, teeth first, every now’ and then. Did you know that the romance be- tween Frances Fleming and John- ny Sapper, ‘41 grad, is still ranging high? Girls, have you seen Cathern Woods’s beau? His name is Merrill Sorrick, and he’s a ‘40 grad of Hor- ace Mann. Watch out, Cathy! % Jean Zander has been seeing quite a bit of Charles King lately. . . . could this be a budding rom- ance? We wonder why Shirley Lank- ford is so happy? Could it be be- cause Warren is back in school? (Or is he?) A certain tall, dark, and hand- some Horace Mann grad of ‘39 -is tops with Mary McRitchie. Name? . . . James Marler. A1 Alliss, who is a new fellow at Hobart High, certainly is making a hit with the girls. ... Or at least he’s trying hard, for he stands in the girls’ locker room from 7:45 until 8 a. m. and from 12 until 1:10 p. m., just waiting and watching. Beware, you girls! G. Rowley still is looking to Mil- dred L. for action and romance. ■ What has happened to the once- budding romance between Fred Gordon and Grace Dommer? Mildred Kegebein has left her heart in Hammond, where it is safe in the hands of Tummy Conley. Cleo Mock and Joe Ronska have severed connections after going to- gether for eight whole months. Is : n because of a third party? Geneva Gaflord must have found the right one, for it’s been heard : that she is getting a ring for her j birthday. Nice going, Geneva. Vacation didn’t seem to have any_ effect on Helen Walter and A1 Ril- : ter. Looks like the Real McCoy. Louie Rose and Betty Gulledge | seem to- be on the verge of a merge Here’s to that. WATCH FOR THESE! Hobart High School’s Band will make its 1941 concert debut in new uniforms. The Band Mothers are working diligently to raise $2,100 with which to purchase seventy- five new garments for the band members. Measurements were tak- en on Friday, September 19. New uniforms will be worn for the first time at the fall concert on Novem- ber 12. The new uniforms are navy blue with gold trimming. The coats are double breasted, and the girls will have trousers instead of skirts. For the first time, each band member, will have a hat. HO-HI LIFE Page Three More Noise!” Urges Mr. Kendall “Come on now, students. . . you can yell louder than that!” Imagine students having to be encouraged to make more noise. . . and by their principal, of all per- sons! Of course the occasion for all this was Hobart High’s first pep session of the current school year, held Tuesday morning, September 23, on the football field during the activi- ties period. At this first assembly of the stud- ent body of Hobart Junior and Sen- ior High School, Mr. Kendall ex- tended a sincere welcome to all new teachers and students of Ho- Hi. Students were complimented on their splendid cooperation with the administration in regard to the new 50-minute periods, new regu- lations, and new teachers. Ho-Hi’s fighting Brickies were introduced to the student body by Mr. Kendall. These gridiron men have had two tough assignments to start off the football season. They made a very favorable showing in the Horace Mann-Hobart game, and, as Mr. Kendall stated, “In the last half of the Benton Harbor game, our boys looked as good as the oth- er team.” This is regarded as a feather in the Brickies’ caps, as only four of the boys have ever participated in interscholastic foot- ball before. Tryouts for yell leaders were held, with a foursome composed of Patty Moon, Shirley Haxton, Bob Sizemore, and Junior Lautzenhiser leading off, followed by individual tryouts on the part of Grace Dom- mer, Betty Gulledge, Marilyn Burk- man, and Gerald Rowley.

This contest marked the first of a series of home games to be staged under the floodlights of the Brickie football field. Starting Lineup HOBART LOWELL Roper RE Hayden Truett RT Brownell Kazlauski RG Peterson Shearer C McClellan Anderson LG Sark Murray LT Lehman Ciszek LE Combs Stephehs QB Randolph Howell RH Novak Rose LH Kalvaites Taylor FB Carlson Officials: Bergstrom, referee; H. Mantz, umpire; C. M cManus, lines- man; Bruce Mitchell, seorekeeper. Lowell’s halfback Novak scored both touchdowns and one of the extra points. Novak scored in the first and third quarters and added the winning point on a plunge fol- lowing his second touchdown. Rose scored for Hobart on a 35- yard off-tackle run in the second quarter and place-kicked the extra point for a 7-7 tie at the half. In the third quarter Hobart drove 50 yards on short plunges with Howell going over from 5 yards out and Rose missing the kick for the extra point to give Hobart a 13-7 lead. Stephens, speedy quarter- back for the Brickies, who suffered a slight injury, was replaced in the third quarter by “Bunker” Hill. Hobart’s excellent and stubborn defense kept the Red Devils on their toes. Lowell drove 35 yards late in the third period with Novak carrying the ball over from the 1- yard line. Brickies will journey to Griffith tonight for another tough battle. Coach Tommy Moore sounded op- timistic after the game, despite the loss. “We showed a great deal of improvement”, he said, “and we’re not going to lose many more games this year.” Coach Moore in his practice this week has stressed de- fensive work, particularly tackling.

Star halfback Lewis Rose staged a terrific running and passing per- formance, scoring two touchdowns and thunderbolting to Stephens a pass which led to the third marker. In the first quarter Rose carried the ball off-tackle for a gain of 4 yards. Incomplete passes were made from Stephens to Ciszek and from Rose to Stephens. Early in the second quarter, af- ter Crown Point was stopped 20 yards from the goal line, Rose got off to a 44-yard trek down to Crown Point’s 13 yard line, to make the first incision on the Brickies’ mar- gin of victory. After three more plays Rose was over from three yards out on a drive around right end. Crown Point received a 5 yard penalty for off-side. Rose tossed a beautiful pass to Stephens who in turn sprinted 20 yards behind two block- ers to score the second Hobart touchdown. , , Crown Point struck back stub- bornly at the Brickie firing squad during the third quarter. A drive from their 26 yard line and 11 plays brought them their solitary touchdown. The Bulldogs’ Horst twins highlighted the drive to Shultz, who scored the touchdown. On the first down play after touchdown, Rose evaded half a dozen tacklers and broke clear for a 67-yard touchdown.

Students Get Out of the Dog-House! “Walk the plank, walk the plank.” That is one form of punishment for failure to know the right ans- wers. And Mr. Kendall and Mr. Garver were ready to make the entire stu- dent body do just that on Monday morning because that body obvi- ously had not known the answer as to what form of behavior should follow the first football victory Ho- bart has seen for ... . too long! No, it wasn’t a green carpet ses- sion occasioned by rowdiness. Rath- er, it was a shame session for ap- athy! Hobart Brickies defeated Griffith 19-0 Friday night, and no one would have been able to tell from the students’ behavior wheth- er the team had won or lost. Well, if no one else would act, the administrators would! Therefore, an impromptu pep session was held in the Roosevelt Gym Monday dur- ing the last morning period, and the students were jarred into some lusty yelling. School spirit at last became evident. But ft took speeches from Mr. Kendall and Mr. Garver, urging by the yell leaders, and the back- ground of the Hobart Band to ac- complish that feat. After the next- Hobart victory, there had better be at least a bonfire, a snake dance, or some form of celebration to let tne coach and players know that the students appreciate the exertion and sacrifices they put forth for the school. Orchids to our principal and sup- erintendent for their staunch school spirit, for proving themselves to be admirable examples of the right sort of STUDENT behavior! Mr. Miller: “Cecil, you have filled in this card incorrectly. Where it asks whether you eat lunch at home, school, or town, you have indicated all three. Now where do you eat. . . at home, school, or town?” Cecil Hamilton: “Yes.” HOME ROOM NEWS “Citizenship” was the theme of a program prepared by members of Miss McKenna’s home room, 212, when they entertained Miss Mar- tindale’s home room, 211, recently. Lowell Enslen welcomed the vis- itors and asked them to join in group singing of “America the Beautiful,” led by Guileen Lind- say. Bettie O’Donnell read the 121st Psalm. The principal speech was made by Dick Lankford, whose top- ic was “Citizenship Begins at School.” Following a vocal selection by Jenny Mazepa and a citizenship poem read by Harry Kneifel, Patty Roper spoke on “How To Look at Yourself.” A humorous reading was Annette Peterson’s contribution to the program. Grouo singing of the school song was followed by school yells, led by Gordon Macy, to close the program. CHORUS CAPERS The second hour chorus class now is getting into the “swing” of things. Plans for a skating party are in progress, under the supervision of John Fleck, chairman. BOOK NOOK Here is a book you boys will like, particularly those of you who are interested in football. “Tinker of Stone Bluff,” by Mason H. Arnold, is a very interesting story of school life at Stone Bluff. Toby “Tinker” Prudy, a farmer boy who had never before attend- ed a school as large as Stone Bluff and who had never before seen nor played in a football game, made one of the best tackles ever witnessed at Stone Bluff. Cub Lansing, Al, and Pedie were Tinker’s roommates. Al was the football manager, and the other two boys played on the team. Tin- ker had gone to college aeainst his own wishes in order to please his uncle, who had higher ambitions for Tobv than for him to be a far- mer. However, after Tinker dis- covered football, he was more than happv at Stone Bluff. He played regularly on the team, along with his roommates, and he developed some spectacular ability on the gridiron. Tobv received his nickname on the first day of school, when Al and Pedie dubbed him “Tinker” after he had tinkered with Al’s broken camera until he succeeded in fixing it. Use of a super-suspense element in the book makes for fast and en- joyable reading. —Alma Jackson Mr. Prather: Now just what wou ' d vou suggest as a solution to “isms?” Evelvn Adams: Why not make them “wasms?” Al Alliss and Murial Negal are “that ‘a way” for each other. Clarabelle Loggie seems to find upperclassmen quite interesting, huh, G. T.? Did you hear that Bill Truett broke two fingers? How did it hap- pen? Too bad, Floyd D., but Janet J.’s heart interest lies in East Gary. Have you noticed the lanyard George Zupko wears? Ask him who made it! “Boob’s” theme song could be “Betty Lou, I Love You.” What’s this about Violet and June owing each other pennies? Why, kids? We never knew before that such “brotherly and sisterly” love as that of Rose Lee and Jackie Adams could exist. Ques ' ion: Virginia, what does the Lew Wallace football team have that Hobart hasn’t? Answer: Jack Lake! Violet R. seems to think that Michigan is okeh. . . maybe it’s be- cause of Bob K.? Have you noticed that “content- ed” look in Neal Hahn’s eye as he receives a note from Marjorie Lar- son? Tuesday, September 30, Bulletin: Rita Hughes ill. Loved one sends telegram. Thoughtful Willie! ■Does Jean Zander have a fond- ness for Pontiacs, or is it just Ed Ritter? Have you noticed the blue Ply- mouth that has been bringing June Jansen to school? It could have been Jerry. The Sub Debs had a “cutting” session, we guess. . . . anyway, they’ve all been sheared of their long locks. We wonder if Robert Balitz still memorizes his music so that he can look at Jackie Stech all through re- hearsals. And speaking of the Bailitzes — we understand that Ruth had a simply “Rippey-ing” time at the Petrie Band Camp at Winona Lake this summer. And to think that he would have to come from Goshen. We were thinking of the baritone section the other day. Three girls and one boy. Those gals certainly keep “Francesco” Papke in line. Page Three HO-HI LIFE STUDENT COUNCIL Under the leadership of their new sponsor, Mr.. Blue, Student Council members have proposed that the wards of the city be the basis for electing council members. From the group a mayor will be elected and boards will be chosen to learn about functions of such boards and to assume responsibili- ties in the school. The primary aim of the council is to teach members how the city government operates. Mapping dist- ricts of the city, visits to city coun- cil meetings, and other similar pro- jects will contribute to this know- ledge. DRAMATICS CLUB Miss Winn called to order the first meeting of the Senior High Dramatics Club on Tuesday, Sept- ember 20.

And with that slogan the Brickies broke the ice of a three-game los- ing streak on Friday night, Octo- ber 3, by running rough shod over Panthers of Griffith in the latter’s home lair, winning by the score of 19 to 0. Missing by a point, 13 to 14, to tie Red Devils of Lowell in their Little Four conference opener, the Brickies wasted no time starting against Panthers of Griffith in their second conference game. Rose Opens Scoring Five plays after the opening kickoff, Lewis Rose, powerful hard- running Brickie halfback, slashed off right tackle, found himself in the clear, cut back to his left and out-raced the remaining Griffith backs to score, standing up, a beautiful run of 60 yards. Jack “Speed” Taylor added the extra point by cracking over center on a plunge play.

(Inciden- tally, there’s nothing wrong with our coaching, either!) Stealing the heavyweight title from Jack Bell this year we have James Alexander, import from Emerson of Gary. He tips the scales at a mere 235 pounds, has his trousers made special. . . . and is only a freshman. There’s a lot of man there, girls!

Cross-country running, organized last year for the first time in the school’s history by Coach Kurth, track mentor, is proving a popular falltime sport on the athletic cal- endar, with a large number of can- didates out for the “A” and “B” squads. Coach Kurth, athletic director, stated that the Ho Hi harrier squad this year would be under the sup- ervision of genial Mr. Prather, for- merly a coach of athletics i n south- ern Indiana. Brickie runners Alfred “Ace” Ritter and Robert McDonald, have been holding the spotlight so far this season, capturing first and sec- ond places respectively in both meets. Leszczynski, Luellman, Wel- ton and Hamilton also have been in on the team scoring. Willmoth and Price, both fresh- men, appear as best in the “B’ group at present. Coaches Prather and Kurth are optimistic as to the team’s chances to make a good showing in its re- maining meets with Horace Mann, Lew Wallace, Hammond Clark and Wirt High Schools. The school physician, Dr. R. W. Kraft, and the school nurse, Mrs. E. Vinzant, announce that the an- nual physical examinations of boys and girls participating in physical education in the Hobart schools are nearing completion. These examinations are conduct- ed for the purpose of appraismg the status of the individual as far as physical examination alone can det ermine; the purpose is not to try to find something wrong with the child. Efforts are being made in health education to establish desir- able attitudes on the part of the child and of his parents in regard to health and sanitation and to pro- vide a motivating force for health- ful living.

HO-HI PUTS INTO EFFECT NEW HONOR ROLL RULES Changed honor roll requirements now are in effect in the Hobart schools, together with a change in the failure grade from E to F. This To qualify for the honor roll, a student must have an average grade of B in citizenship, together with eight grade points. Grade points will be awarded on the following basis: As a guest speaker at the convo- cation held Thursday morning, Oct- ober 9, in the Roosevelt Gymnas- ium, Mr. Fred Hardenbrook, young nomad who claims Roch ester, N. Y., as his home, described many excit- ing experiences which he has con- fronted in his travels. His traveling career began im- mediately after his graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, when he accepted the invitation of a Japanese classmate to visit the latter’s homeland. Since that time he has visited thirty-seven differ- ent countries within the continents of Europe. South America, and the dark, mysterious depths of Asia and Africa. Incidentally, while Hardenbrook managed to meet several of the “famous four hundred million,” he declares that he must have net most of the “still more famous four hundred billion” in China fleas! No one can escape them, he says, so everyone scratches to- gether. One of the most effective methods yet discovered for getting rid of fleas that insist upon getting on and in one’s clothing is to tie the clothes to a horse and drive the animal out of the village into the snow. As the clothing becomes cold, the fleas automatically move into the warm hair of tne horse. Now here’s the sixty-four dollar question: How does the horse get rid of them? Chinese bandits and cotnmunists still terrorize the towns, seeking to CAUGHT IN THE DRAFT! It seems that Mr. Kastner has re- ceived a cordial invitation from Uncle Sam to serve in the U. S. Army. In reply to the invitation, Mr. Kastner will go to Fort Benjamin Harrison on Friday, October 24, to receive his physical examination. If he doesn’t pass the examination, he’ll be back to good old H. H. S.; and if he does pass. ... he will be known thereafter as “Private Kast- ner!” widen the empire, Mr. Harden- brook said. The people look for- ward to an execution as a great ev- ent. The executioner is always a most thoughtful gentleman, for he takes especial care not to injure the victims’ pigtails during the head-cutting process. Mr. Hardenbrook at this poinj: in his talk wielded a ferocious-look- ing knife of the type used by an executioner. In order that the ex- planation might be quite clear, Floyd Trumbo generously offered his personal services for purposes of demonstration. The perform- ance was convincing. . . . but Floyd still has his head, unscathed. After draping the garb of the Tibetan on Bob Sizemore, Mr. Har- denbrook explained Buddhism, the most prevalent religion in Tibet. Tibetans worship four principal gods, and according to their belief a person after death goes first to a hot hell, from which he is promo- ted to a cold one, followed by a post-graduate course in several thousand other varieties. Finally his soul is reincarnated and comes back to earth for a fresh start. For five weeks Mr. Hardenbrook went through the ordeals required of one desiring to become a Llama priest. With the assistance of Floyd Demmon, the speaker dem- onstrated parts of the ritual. Mr. Hardenbrook is a member of the National Georgraphical So- ciety, and of the Rochester Museum j of Arts and Sciences. HO-HI BAND TO PLAY CLINIC ENGAGEMENT NATIONAL CHAMPIONS GET INVITATION TO GO TO MICHIGAN CITY Additional honors have been re- cently awarded Hobart’s National Championship High School Band in the form of an invitation to be the official clinic band for the Nor- thern Indiana School Band and Or- chestra Clinic to be held in Mich- igan City on November 21 during Thanksgiving vacation. The clinic conductor will be Russell Harvey, nationally known director and com- poser from De LaSalle High School in Chicago. Several of the mem- bers of the Hobart band have work- ed under Mr. Harvey at summer camps. In order to play this clinic, the organization will have to perform twenty different compositions or five numbers each from the Class A. B, C and D contest lists. This is a difficult task, since very few high school bands are capable of playing all of these numbers so early in the school year. Some of the numbers include the difficult “Queen of Hearts” Overture, Fin- ale to Dvorak’s “New World Sym- phony,” and Thomas’ “Raymond” Overture. The band will leave Hobart early Friday morning (say — you musi- cians had better not eat too much Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday) so that they will be ready to play at Michigan City at 9 o’clock. There will be a three hour morning ses- sion featuring Class A and B music and a three hour afternoon session for the C and D list. Owing to the detailed prepara- tion necessary for this clmic, the band will probably be unable to march and play at the last few home football games. This will be a big disappointment to band mem- bers, since they had planned to dis- play their new uniforms, which very likely will be here by the end of this month. Results of the triangular cross- country meet held at Gleason Field Friday, October 17, are as follows: Hammond Clark 33 Hobart 34 Lew Wallace — 65 A 3 points B 2 points C 1 point D 0 points F -1 point “Cum Laude” rating will be given for straight A grades. NOTICE Because of the school recess from October 23 until October 27, Ho-Hi Life will not be pub- lished next week. The next issue will be distributed on Monday November 2.

BOOK NOOK “APRILLY WEATHER” Girls of high school age who read this book will remark that it expresses in the beginning just the way they felt when they first en- tered high school as freshmen. Apr illy Weather by Margaret Thomsen Raymond describes Shar- on Cole’s difficulties and growing pains as she approached and em- barked upon her high school car- eer. Some of her old friends of grade school days had entered high school as freshmen, too, and some of the teachers were old acquain- tances. Others, however, were strangers to her. Above all, there was one teacher who aroused in her a mixed feeling of admiration and dislike. Sharon had difficulties at home, too, as well as in school. Her older brother, Joe, was more dependable than Sharon, but she was quicker and more brilliant. One year Joe failed to pass in school, and Shar- on caught up with him. In. order that he should not be embarrassed, Joe was sent to a private school. Sharon became jealous and wanted to attend a private school also; but her parents turned a deaf ear to her supplications. The election of class officers, hopes and plans for college, and the success of Sharon’s keenest rival are among the many other problems with which Sharon had to cope. As always, Margaret Raymond writes beautifully, capitalizing on her gift for remembering ciearly and for interpreting vividly. — Ruth Schiess KINDERGARTEN KIDDIES A tip on how to hold your man: Janice Shults, with her arms around John Gant’s neck, was accosted by Miss Yackee.

INQUIRING REPORTER WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE WAY THE STUDENT BODY OF H. H. S. IS SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL AND ITS TEAM? Here are some answers which our inquiring reporter, George Tatalovich, received to the above query. “In mv opinion the student body should show more enthusiasm in its support of the school and team. We need more Ho-Hi students in at- tendance at games that are played away from school as well as at those played here.” — Dorothv Oakley “I think that the cheerleaders are doing a fine job; but they need more cooperation from the aud- ience. Keep up the good work, team. You’re doing fine!” — Anne Nehring “I think more Ho-Hi students should go to the out-of-town games and show more enthusiasm for the team.” — Lorraine Swanson “The student body are not sup- porting the school enough. There are not enough students at the games, and those who are there are not showing enough school spirit. We need more enthusiasm and school spirit.” — Lorraine Trager “I think that even at our home games the students don’t show enough enthusiasm. They wait for the cheer leaders to lead them in- stead of yelling when the team is near our goal line. In school they cooperate pretty well this year. But, students, attend ouur games and yell for our team!” — Betty Gulledge “I a ree that the cheer leaders are doing an excellent job, but I think there should also be a Boost- ers’ Club. Such a club could spon- sor victory dances and other after- the-game activities. I remember when we used to have snake dances on Main Street and when we had other harmless but gay celebrations and nep sessions in which students could really show their support of the teams and of the band. I say we should bring back the Boost- ers’ Club.” — Kenneth Jordan “It seems to me that more stud- ents are going to football games this year than in previous years. However, not enough support is given in the yells and not so much j after-fhe-game enthusiasm is shown as after basketball games. As for the school, the students are not so proud of their school as they ought to be, particularly when they are away from home.” — Grayson Moss Old man: So you’ve met my son j at high school? Sunshine: Sure. . . we slept in the j fourth hour assembly together, ev- [ cry day. JOTS BY DOT Hi-Ho to Ho-Hi! Boost your team by attending the games. .... Learn both school songs and all the school yells.-. . . Keep your eyes looking upward in 1985, for Halley’s comet is scheduled to re- turn then. . . . The Assembly would be a queer place if the girls didn’t comb their hair or powder their faces during the period. ... In 1933 there were 3,000,000 persons taught riding the rails in India without having paid their fares. . . . Ho- bart’s cross-country team is . eally swell (thanks to the boys and Coaches Prather and Kurth) . . . Why does the chemistry class al- ways raise such a stink? Did you know that football yells originated at Princeton soon after the Civil War? While engaged in a tough game, the players began to yell during a play, hoping thus to outwit their opponents. The plan was successful, and Prince- ton won the game. Since that time, the spectators have done the yelling, led by cheer leaders. . . . Speaking of cheer leaders, ours need still more lung support from the student body. . . . Eight oi he signatories of the Declaration of Independence were farmers. . .Aut- umn really is in the air now. Had you noticed? .... Cheer the band on. It surely is doing a wonder- ful job. . . .

HO-HI LIFE Page Four GRIDIRON GANROLS The winning streak of the Ho-Hi gridders was brought to an abrupt stop Friday night, October 17, when the Brickies failed to overpower the Valpo Vikings on Boucher Field. The first touchdown of the game was scored as Hobart recovered a fumble on Valpo’s 30-yard line. Younce, Viking halfback, fumbled on the first play of the ball game. After two successive first downs, which put the ball on Valpo’s 1-yard line, Rose crashed over tackle for the opening score. Speed Taylor plunged over for the extra point, and the quarter ended at Hobart 7, Valparaiso 0. Midway in the second quarter Valparaiso put on a drive which took the ball to the Brickie 30-yard line, from where Walter Woycik raced 30 yards around right end to score. A place kick for the extra point was missed, and the half end- ed with Hobart still in front, 7-6. In the third period a fumble on the 30-yard line by halfback Louie Rose as he attempted to return a Valpo kick set up the second score for Valpo. Several first downs put the ball on the Hobart 1-yard line, from where Ralph Doeling took it over on a plunge for a score. He drop-kicked to add another point, bringing the score to 13-7, Valpo. Late in the last quarter a Brickie touchdown drive which took the ball to the Valpo 12-yard line was snuffed out by a 15-yard penalty, and the loss could not be made up in the time required before the game ended. Brickies were still in possession of the ball when the final gun went off. Backed by one of the largest crowds which has followed the Brickies out of town this year, the playing of the locals failed to match the stirring play which the Brickies exhibited in winning from Griffith and Crown Point. The only conso- lation that is afforded the players and home crowd is that the Brickies will have an opportunity for re- venge on the local gridiron when the two teams will be rematched on Friday night, November 7. “I am highly disappointed with the showing of our team In the Valpo game,” said Coach Tommy Moore. ‘“It was a case of being out- fought by a team that was not sup- erior.

Different students use different methods of showing appreciation to their favorite teacher. It seems that some of the seventh grade girls find that bringing a shining red apple to Mr. Kurth has its effects. The expression which Mr. Kurth’s face registers when he is handed one of these crimson, vitamin- packed fruits is a surprising com- bination of amazement and amuse- ment, with just a tinge of pride.

Boys and girls in the 8B Science class, who now hold forth daily in the Physics Room, are performing experiments on such problems as density of liquids and solids, grav- ity, water pressure, atmospheric pressure, suction, partial vacuums, air resistance, and centrifugal force. Each student in the class has per- formed at least one experiment so far. Plans are under way for a class trip to the Museum of Scien- ces and Industry in Chicago. HO-HI LIFE Page Five MAY WE PRESENT RITA HUGHES The fact that Rita Hughes is the first girl-president the Hobart High School Concert Band has had is important enough to merit a little personal information about this young senior. While in the fifth grade at Mun- dell School, where she began her schooling, Rita began her course in clarinet playing. In 1935 she occupied the second chair in the Junior Band and held the office of secretary-treasurer of that band. This was the year the Junior Band played in the contests in Crawfords- ville and LaPorte. In 1938 and 1939 the young lady occupied the president’s chair in the Latin Class. Rita won Divis- ion 1 in the State Contest with her clarinet solo while in the eighth grade. Last year she was made presi- dent of the Junior Class, and this fall she was elected president of the band, to hold this office for the school year of 1941 and 1942. As a student, Rita holds top honors in her studies. As a person, she is one of the most popular and best liked girls in the school. The band is proud to have her as its president, and band members are only too willing to cooperate with her in every way to make this year a pleasant and outstanding one for her to remember after she has been graduated next spring.

Play- ing in almost a sea of mud and a constant drizzle of rain, the Brickie grid machine looked impressive again before a crowd of several hundred fans who braved the ad- verse weather conditions to watch their favorites in action. Rose Sets Up Score Galloping “Louie” Rose set up the first touchdown on a pretty sweep around left end, good for 35 yards to the 9-yard line, where he was knocked out of bounds. Three plays were good to the 4-yard line, and a fourth down offside penalty on Griffith put the ball on the one- yard line, from where Rose crashed over for the score. “Speed” Taylor added the extra point on a plunge. Howell Adds Points After an exchange of kicks, with Howell kicking to an advantage, Albert Kazlauski, rugged Brickie guard who played bang-up ball all the way, recovered a Griffith fum- ble on the Panther’s 25-yard line. On the first play, halfback Wilbur Howell, playing his best game of the season, ripped off tackle for 25 yards to score standing up. He also added the .point on a dive over cen- ter to close the first quarter score at 14 to 0. Left end “Cy” Ciszek missed an opportunity to crash the scoring circle when Stephens’s pass in the end zone slipped over the ends of his fingers. Taylor Hits Pay Dirt The last of the Brickie score came as a result of an 80-yard drive in the final period after three first downs. Rose passed to Stephens on a flat pass, Stephens being downed on the 15-yard line. Howell added another first down to the 4-yard line, from where fullback Taylor hit pay dirt, running the score to 20 to 6. A pass, Rose to Stephens, failed to score the extra point. Hobart made twelve first downs to six for Griffith.

There follows the description of an incident which occurred during the triangular cross-country meet between Lew Wallace, Hammond Clark, and Hobart High Schools on Friday, October 17. The harriers were well on their way when one of the Hobart men, Eugene Truitt, became exhausted and fell by the wayside. A Lew Wallace boy, coming up behind Eugene, stopped and helped Truitt to his feet and ran along with him for the remainder of the distance. At the finish the two of them sprint- ed for approximately 100 yards, with the Lew Wallace boy beating Truitt by about a foot. There were five or six Lew Wal- lace men ahead of the one mention- ed above, so that the latter had no possible chance of coming in among the winners. Nevertheless, a true sport would have stopped, regard- less of how far in front he may have been. As it was,, the Gary boy sac- rificed some position to help a mem- ber of the opposing team, and he came in in the twenty-third place, with Truiitt in the twenty-fourth. Such sportsmanship as this is re- freshing to any sports fan. This phase of athletics definitely can de- termine character!

Joan Julian, our inquiring repor- ter of the week, received the follow- ing replies to the above query: TRENT KOSTBADE : “There should be fewer but bigger and more active clubs.” ALMA JACKSON: “I think ' there should be many clubs and social activities. They serve better to ac- quaint students with other students and teachers with students, and they are a great help in developing personality.” RUTH BALITZ: “I think social activities are an important part of any school system. They help to create a better understanding be- tween students and teachers.” MARILYN BURKMAN: “I think life would be very dull without some sort of social activities. Not only do they help us while we are in school, but they also help us to mingle with people after gradua- tion.” SOPHIE MARCHETTI: “Social life is a helpful part of modern school systems, but any trend to- ward social distinction would be harmful.” MARCELLA JOHNSON: “If there were no social activities in school, there would be nothing for ‘us kids’ to look forward to.” NADINE EATON: “Social activi- ties clay an important part in the world of todav. Persons who take part in a lot of social activities seem to get farther in the world than do persons who do not take part in activities.” HINTS FOR HEALTH “HUNCH BACK JOE” Joe hasn’t always been hunched like a camel . .

BOOK NOOK WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE In “When Doctors Disagree,” Franken Meloney tells the story of a young woman who at first seems to be like any average society girl or perhaps like a young wife. How- ever, Margaret Ferris happened to be an unusual person. ... a good woman surgeon. When a vacancv occurred for the post of assistant surgeon, Dr. Hauss- mann, superintendent of the hospi- tal, nominated Margaret Ferris for the position. It was he who later had to break the news to Margaret that the hospital board , had not ac- cepted his recommendation because she was a woman. This, plus the knowledge that it was Bill Kirkland who had preven- ted her appointment, would not have been so hard for her to hear had not the incompetent Dr. Bates been the successful appointee. Beneath the imnersonal and cold life of a large city hospital there may run emotions as deep as those in the outside world. All the effic- iency, the precision of its surgeons held in the grip of a rigid code of ethics cannot prevent doctors, nur- ses, and their patients from being merely men and women. “When Doctors Disagree” is a story of this life .... of daily dra- ma and humor, of a love that had more than its share of pain, frustra- tion, and despair before happiness was attained.

The house is construc- ted from brown blocks of wood, with hinges on the wood in order that the pieces may be fastened to- gether until the children find the form which best suits them. Some of the children who didnt care for the construction work turn- ed to more artistic occupations and painted morernistic - looking de- signs. Still others chose to make i pumpkins on drawing paper, color- ing them orange with black eyes. HO-HI LIFE Page Threti Initiation services for new Lib- rarians’ Club members was held Monday, October 13. After the fro- lic party that evening, the new girls were asked to wear no hair pins the next day, and makeup was to be worn on one side of the face only. At the regular meeting of the club, held Monday, October 20, Miss Fi-iedrich asked for suggestions as to how to improve the library’s ap- pearance. It was decided that each member should make one poster for the room. All money collected from fines will go to further the improvements of both the Junior and Senior High School libraries. Committees were selected to plan the November skat- ing party, and Jean Zanders and Mary McRitchie were elected to fill two recently-created vacancies in officers’ posts, those of vice-pres- ident and secretary, respectively. STUDENT COUNCIL Fridav. October 17, the members of the former Student Council met as a steering committee for th£ Student Government Body which is to be organized this year. The first step in the organization of this group is to establish political parties. After the formation of these parties, campaigns and elec- tions for the mayor and school council of Hobart High will be held. Every student is urged to take an active interest in the governing of the school and thus to gain a prac- tical knowledge of city politics. G. A. A. With elections and initiations in full swing, G. A. A. has climbed on the band wagon. Election returns for the organization show Ruth An- derson to be the new president; Helen Reinhold, vice-president; Ev- elyn Adams, secretary; Lois Rowe, treasurer, and Betty Mae Sapka, point keeper. On Tuesday, October 21, many Senior High girls seemed to be re- uming to childhood and grade school days. Being obedient child- ren, they came to school sans make- up, carrying “mamma dolls,” and wearing enormous hair bows. Be- ing playful little girls, they jumped the rope, played hop-scotch and O’Leary at noon. . . . All these antics were mild, however, compared with the things that happened to them that night: They were branded (with ice cubes), made to walk barefoot in cooked rice and egg shells, and, after undergoing other similar tests of patience and endur- ance, were welcomed as official new members of G. A. A. DRAMATICS CLUB At the second meeting of the Dram atics Club, the following of- ficers were elected: Elsie Matovich, president; Walter Moll, vice-presi- dent, and Patty Moon, secretary- treasurer. Following the election, Robert Sizemore and A1 Alliss presented pantomimes. GIRLS’ CLUB In discussing the year’s calendar of the Girls’ Club at the last meet- ing, Miss McKenna, elhb sponsor, announced plans for several educa- tional tours being planned for mem- bers. One tour will be to Chicago, she said. Other functions which the club will sponsor include a Holly Hop, the Annual Banquet, a tea for eighth grade girls, and a Mothers ' Tea. New members in addition to those announced in the last issue are Al- lison Watson, Beulah Salter, Thel- ma Mirodeas, and Juanita Hents- chel. H CLUB Recently-elected officers of the H Club are Robert Hill, president; Louis Rose, vice-president, and Rob- ert Balitz, secretary-treasurer. Activities suggested for the year include a homecoming, an after- the-game dance, and the selling of pencils and basketball pins. The committee in charge is making plans for these various projects. Louis Rose, Junior Lautbenniser, Robert Hill, Jack Taylor, and Al- bert Kazlauski comprise the initi- ation committee. Regular meetings of the club will be held on the even Thursdays of each month. 4-H CLUB Lamson’s party room in Crown Point was the scene of an achieve- ment banquet held Saturday even- ing. October 18, by members of the 4-H Club. Junior leaders of the organiza- tion received their club pins, and the remainder of the evening was devoted to the dinner and program Bettv Blakeman is the president of the Baking Club for the ensuing year. Other officers elected recent- ly are Joan Nelson, vice-president; Jean Shults, secretary-treasurer; Joan Turner, news reporter; Aud- rey Lamb, song leader; Mary Belle Mcl-ead, recreation leader; Naomi Grabill, nianist; and Lorraine Ow- ens, health director.

HEARS LIEUT. WILSON Lieutenant Wilson of the Gary Fire Department discussed the sub- ject of “Fire Prevention” when he came as guest speaker to the reg- ular business meeting of the Cen- tral Parent Teachers’ Association Monday, October 13. Ninety per cent of all fires, said Lieut. Wilson, are caused by care- lessness in such things as chimney fires, faulty wiring, spontaneous combustion, disposal of rubbish, use of matches, disposal of hot ashes, etc. For every minute of the day, the speaker stated, a home is burned to the ground. Five schools and five churches per day are destroyed by fire. Twenty-three per cent of all factories and forty-three per cent of all mercantile establishments that catch fire never reopen for bus- iness. These figures are appalling, he said, when it is remembered that ninety per cent of all this damage and loss is preventable. Lieut. Wilson compared fire loss statistics of the United States with those of other countries, and he cit- ed also figures regarding the loss of lives through fire as compared with the loss of lives through war. At the close of the talk, the speaker mentioned several rules to follow in everyday living that will help to prevent fire destruction and loss A cornet quartet composed of Jack Howey, James Grinn, George Vossberg, and Jack Worthington, under the direction of Mr. Ebbs, en- tertained with two selections at the beginnmg i of i hej3rogram ; ____ Al’s Restaurant MEET YOUR FRIENDS AT AL’S Greeting Cards Lending Library Daily Paper Magazines School Supplies Rogers News Depot 336 Main St. Hobart, Ind.

Jr. Hi social studies classes have been shown movies dealing with the Pueblo Indians and “Interde- pendence.” The 8B science classes seem to have gone in for star-gazing in a big way. During the home room periods, Mr. Garver has shown and explained to the students movies dealing with the stars and particu- larly with planets. The classes have been divided in- to groups which are sent out to Mr. Garver’s residence in the evening about 9:30 or 10 o’clock. Here they may witness the stars and planets through Mr. Garver’s telescope. Recently the students have been observing an unusual phenomenon which occurs annually, that of Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter, appearing with moons around them. Also they have seen the constellation known as the “Seven Sisters,” the excep- tionally blue star, Vega, and the star Persus The tentative date set for a visit by both classes to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is Tuesday, October 28.

Two and one-half hours of army life .... and then it was all over! Mr. Kastner went into Fort Ben- I jamin Harrison at about 2 o’clock Friday afternoon, October 24, and by 4:30 o’clock he was on the high- way, hitch-hiking to Muncie .... a free man, but financially embar- rassed. Army medicoes, after a due amount of thumping and jabbing, informed Mr. Kastner that his heart beats with such rapidity that even the army can’t use him. Ho- bart High School still can use him, however; so Mr. Kastner is ahead by a radio, shaving kit, etc., and Mr. Garver needn’t find a new teacher, the students will not have to make new adjustments . . . and everybody’s happy. Army officials instructed exam- inees not to bring much money with them. Mr. Kastner was obedient. As a result, he had to choose be- tween waiting until Monday for his free return ride, or hitch-hiking. After one Army meal, in which he ate something pink that was report- ed to be a relative of the turnip, he decided to hitch-hike. Random impressions reported by Mr. Kastner included: “Army boys seemed to be on WPA duty .... leaning on shovels and rakes .... .... Physical exams were conduct- ed in such a machine-like fashion, with approximately seventy men being examined within the course of about two and one-half hours, that I was neither impressed nor unimpressed by the Army doctors. ....

A skating party is in the offing, and all chorus members are looking forward to the event. Since only chorus students will participate, it is felt that no one should end up flat. Several of the band members are extending their music education by joining other musical organizations. During the summer Donald Mc- Cathern and Robert Baile played with the Gary Carillco Band, which won first place in Class “A” at the Chicago Music Festival and also at the contest at Riverview Park. A new organization is being form- ed in Gary at this time to be known as the Gary Civic Symphony Orch- estra. Arthur Zack, a noted cellist and composer-conductor, will con- duct the orchestra. Try-outs for those desiring to join the organization was held Tuesday night, October 14, in Gary, and two Hobart cornet players, Floyd Dem- mon and Robert Baile, passed the tests to become members of the group.

That Freedom Might Live NO 5 HOBART TO OBSERVE EDUCATION WEEK WEDNESDAY NIGHT PROGRAM TO INCLUDE ATTRACTIVE V ARIET Y As a part of the National Educa- tion Week activities, the Hobart High School Concert Band will present its fifteenth annual fall con- cert. The program is scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, at 8:00 p. m. at Roosevelt Gym and prom- ises to be a worthwhile evening of entertainment. First of all, it is supposed to be the first appearance of the band in the new uniforms which the Band Mother’s Club is purchasing for them. We say “supposed” because the delivery date is long past, and the uniforms have not appeared as yet. According to Mr. Ebbs, the defense program is slowing up this work, and the Band will just have to wait until the order comes through. Members hope that it will be very soon. Secondly, the band is featuring as soloists its two senior clarinet- ists, Robert Balitz and Don McCath- ren. These two boys will play a clever duct called “The Two Little Bullfinches.” And if you like that, they might be induced into playing that popular hit, “Clarinet Polka.” And let us tell you, .... they don’t poke around on either of these numbers. Since this is more or less a “Pop” Concert, the “Three Little Pigs” will perform for the audience to the tune of “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?” This number feat- ures various soloists and sections of the band in variations on the theme of the well known Disney hit-tune. Besides all this, you will hear Dvorak’s “Finale from the New World Symphony,” selections from “The Student Prince,” “Youth Triumphant Overture,” and many other familiar band numbers. Mr. Ebbs said that he expected several high school bands to attend this concert and that patrons will .have to come early to get a good seat. And don’t forget that Student Tickets are only 15c for the Fall Concert. JJrcciunu- JSofo (Hart HUc J§ mtre Jit? American Education Week is set apart as a time when Americans may visit their schools, examine them, and make suggestions for their betterment. We in America look upon our free system of pub- lic schools as the one guarantee of freedom from ignorance, freedom from oppression, and freedom from intolerance. In America we have come to real- ize that in order to hold fast to the heritage of freedom handed down to us, we must make every person aware of the dangers to which our country is exposed. Having done this, we must then train ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually to withstand these dangers. They may come from without in the form of actual physical force against us, or from within. In our own country today are those who would have us believe that we are too weak to govern ourselves, that it is useless to fight against the forces of tyran- ny. Some are even employed by foreign groups to so influence us that we will be unable- to resist if invasion comes from without. Our schools still remain as free institutions wherein our children can learn facts and skills unhinder - I ed by pressure groups, radicals, or intolerant self-seekers who would 1 array free Americans against each other. Bv visiting our schools and keeping abreast of modern educa- tional thought we can do our part to keep the schools, and through them the nation, free. NATION WILL HONOR SCHOOLS DURING WEEK OF NOVEM- BER -! 6 American ‘Education Week will be observed in the Hobart Schools in many ways. Tuesday is Armistice Day. It will be suitably observed with a program under the direction of Mr. Howard Yunker and Principal Wil- liam R. Kendall. At 8 o’clock on Tuesday even- ing Mr. Harlie Garver, superintend- ent of schools, will speak to the Central Parent-Teachers Associa- tion on “The Financial Problems of the Hobart Schools.” Very few cit- izens have a true picture of the manner in which funds to maintain our schools are raised and expend- ed. Mr. Garver will attempt to ans- wer these questions b£ giving school costs, sources of revenue, and com- parisons with nearby school sys- tems. Our school building problem will also be discussed. Mr. Garver will use several charts to illustrate his talk. The general public is especially invited to be present and learn the true condition of our schools from the financial stand- point. Wednesday marks the date of the first band concert of the winter sea- son. Hobart takes just pride in her outstanding musical organization, and an evening spent in this way will bring an appreciation of the high standard maintained and of the great effort required to reach such ' perfection. Thursday will be “visit your schools” day. On that day all pa- trons are urged to visit the schools, confer with teachers and officials, and make constructive suggestions. Teachers will also be in their rooms for consultation with parents prior ' to the P. T. A. meeting on Tuesday evening. The hour set for this per- iod is 7:30 to 8:00. Emphasis on the physical side of our development will come with the closing football game next Monday evening. Hobart is to be congrat- ulated upon the fine development of her physical education, health, and athletic departments, working un- der decided handicans of housing and space. The enthusiastic and loyal supoort of citizens has done much to further this effort.

BOOK NOOK “MEET THE WARRENS” If you, like many others, enjoy reading about typical American characters, you won’t need a sec- ond invitation to read a truly en- tertaining story, “Meet the War- rens.” The author, Lucy Hancock, writes here with the same skill and insight that characterized her re- cent popular “North Side Nurse.” “Meet the Warrens” is a story of the family life of John, the father; of Margaret, his capable wife; of Stephen, the banker whose wife Harriet (not a Warren) makes him toe the mark; of Melissa, who has been disappointed in love and is blindly endeavoring to reshape her life along strictly unemotional lines. . . . . and who would have succeed- ed except for a certain young phy- sician, Dr. Reed; of Ted, a vision- ary who wants very much to be a faimer; of Sally, Ted’s gay and ir- responsible wife; and of popular, headstrong Laura, who defies the entire family by marrying young Tom Kennedy, whom her father and brothers hate because of a long- standing family feud. Miss Hancock has presented these character-, with their ups and downs, their ins and outs, their love affairs and their qaurrels— all interwoven in admirable fashion into a story of typical American family life. If you’re interested, why not come along and ‘Meet the War- rens?” PET PEEVES Dorothy Oakley — Damp weather . . . “It takes all the curl out of my hair.” Nora Laurie — “Trying to keep my shoes clean.” June Jansen — Being rushed. Helen Mae Lennertz — “My little niece.” Bill Jordan: “He went blind from drinking coffee.” Joe: ‘Who ever heard of such a thing? How did it happen?” Bdl J.: “He left his spoon in the cup.” Have you ever tried word build- ing? What? You’ve never tried it? Well, here’s how it goes: Take S; add one letter to make a common exclamation; add two more letters to make something you find in the chimney; add four more let- ters to get a word meaning calm- ing. The word is S-O-O-T-HING. Now, try it with the letter A. Add one letter to get a boy’s nick- name; add two more to get some- thing that puckers up your lips; add four more letters to get a very fine metal. If you can’t figure it out, look at the bottom of this art- icle. Try now the letter E. Add two letters to form a girl ' s name: add one more to get an adverb: and add five letters to make a fir tree. Want to try it with B? Add one letter to form a verb: and two more now to get a vegetable; add still two more to get a bug. Begin with the letter T. Add a letter to get a preposition; add an- other letter to form a boy’s name; now add five more letters to form a common vegetable. Did you get stuck on any of them? Here are the answers: For the letter A A-L-UM-INUM. For the letter E E-VE-R-GREEN. For the letter B B-E-ET-LE. For the letter T _ T-O-M-ATOES. HINTS FOR HEALTH “An eye for an eye” is not a good motto, for if once you lose your sight, it can ' seldom be regained or restored. If you abuse your eyes or have trouble with them, they will warn you in some way. Heed the warn- ings you hear to watch out for headaches, eyeaches, watery eyes, blurred vision, inflammation of the eyelids, dizziness, a tired feeling when using the eyes, and swollen eyelids. Continual scowling and a tendency to hold work too far from or too near the eyes indicate that the eyes need attention. The wise thing to do upon notice of any of these symptoms is to con- sult your physician for advice. A periodic checkup of the eyes is a good thing to have regardless of whether or not you wear glasses, for even well-fitted glasses need adjustments rather often.

SENIOR HIGH STUDENTS HOLD MASS MEETING Senior High students were called together in the gym Wednesday, October 29, during the activities period for the second of a series ot convocations. The purpose of these assemblies is to acquaint students with problems and regulations aris- ing in and about school. Mr Kendall announced that faul- ty locker keys are being repaired and hereafter it is required that all lockers be locked at all times. Mr. Kendall explained that sev- eral students made excellent grades in their academic work but were kept off the honor roll because of their citizenship grades. This is all recorded and will reflect back on you after graduation when you are being recommended for a job, he said. Students were reminded that an invalid excuse will give them a grade of zero for the day missed. Following these announcements, Mr. Kendall explained in brief the new student governing body which is being organized by former Stud- ent Council members with the aid and guidance of their new sponsors, Mr. Blue. „ “And let’s not forget, students said Mr. Kendall in closing, that we have a football team.

It was merely a portion of the Hallowe’en festival which had been originally scheduled for Friday night, October 31. Highlight of the evening was the lineup of grotesque marchers par- ading through the business district and then down to the athletic field, where they passed the judges’ re- viewing stand, each and everyone of them vieing for one of the many prizes offered. The variety in awards presented a challenge for masqueraders to test their imagin- ations — and what an imagination some of those kids have! Amidst a bevy of clowns, mam- mies, scarecrows, skeletons, Uncle Sams, Red Cross Nurses— yes, and even red flannels, the judges named the following prizewinners: Most Original — Gillian Daven- port and Geneva Gafford. Most Weird — Charles Southard. Most Patriotic— John Walter. Most Beautiful — Jackie Wright. Most Appropriate — Robert Fasel. Most Comic— Allen Dale Blanch- ard. „ . Most Grotesque — Carl Spring- man. . , Best Animal Costume — Richard Ehrhardt. Best Clown Band— Girls. Grand prize was awarded to Gil- lian Davenport and Geneva Gafford. Theirs was a clever arrangement with Gillian atop Geneva’s should- ers, the skirt of Gillian’s dress con- cealing Geneva entirely. Gillian was more or less at ease, but your reporter kept wondering about Geneva. Contests for the younger children included cracker eating, skipping races, one-leg races, an Eskimo jumping race, and a wheelbarrow race. First, second, and third place awards were given for winners in the various groups. Following the contests the field was darkened for a striking display of fireworks, both beautiful and noisy in kind. B. Unexcused absence — 3 C Talking in rank or rehearsal 1 D.

Seeking sweet revenge from Val- paraiso, Hobart Br ; ckies attained their goal Monday night on the local gridiron by downing the Vikings 7-0 in a battle so one-sided that Valpo passed the 50-yard line only once during the evening. Although the score does not lean heavily toward either side, still it definitely was Hobart’s ball through and through. The end of the third quarter was near before the Vikings exhibited any manifestations even of being in the fracas. In the first quarter a pass to “Cy” Ciszek took the ball to the Vikings’ 20-yard line. After a fumble, Valpo recovered the ball, which again was fumbled, this time to be recovered by Hobart on their 12-yard line. Rose passed to Stephens, who car- ried the ball to score the single touchdown of the game. Rose made good the kick, with Stephens hold- ing the baH. The Brickies’ line ex- hibited perfect blocking on the extra ■ point, with every Valpo man being rendered harmless. During the second period an in- compl ted pass in the end ' zone de- prived the Bricki s of an opportu- ' nity to score in that quarter. With ; one minute and 45 seconds remain- j ing in the first half, the ball was on the Valpo 8-yard line, first and 10. Rose attempted an end run, but was thrown for a loss. A plunge took the ball to the 3-yard line, where it rested, still in the Brickies’ posse- sion, as the half ended. Near the end of the third quarter the Vikings started to click, and for a while it looked as though they were to score. However, the Brickie defense tightened up and forced Valpo to punt, and the remainder of the ball game consisted mostly of an exchange of the ball from one end to the other. Valpo attempted a touchdown march during the last period, pass- ing three times to get to about the 30-yard line. An attempted forward pass on the fourth down was fumbl- ed, with Kazlauski recovering for Hobart, who then carried the ball back down into home territory. The defensive work of the entire Brickie team was probably the best j it Tias been this season. The only time the Hobart line allowed any- i one even to come close was when ! Valpo blocked one punt in the third | quarter. Although it seemed as 1 EDISON WINS HARRIER MEET Gary Edison’s brilliant team co- operation netted its boys the win- ning place in the first annual Hobart Invitational Cross-Country Meet held over the two-mile Gleason Park course Tuesday, November 4. Edison harriers finished 3rd, 6th, 9th, 11th and 13th for a total of 42 points. Hobart Brickies placed second with 60 points; Hammond Clark amassed 67 points for third place; Lowell was fourth with 93 points, and Lew Wallace finished last with 110 points. The race was a duel all the wav, with harriers from all five schools exchanging the lead. Pukaeh of Clark stepped out in front by a few steps at the finish, followed closely by Herlitz of Lowell, Guernsey of Edison, and Ritter and McDonald of Hobart, in the order named. though no one in particular was get- ting tackles, yet each player seemed to be in on every play. “Speed” Taylor, Brickie fullback, did a beautiful job of plunging throughout the game, picking up from 3 to 18 yards on almost every attempt.

The following officers have been elected: Edith Shearer, judge; Her- bert Guthrie, bailiff; Mary Lossa, clerk; Betty Johnston, Tom Farlow, Bill Wilson, and Dolores Bodomer, jury members. As yet no one has been brought to trial, but things look very prom- ising, according to some quite auth- oritative reports. Miss Anderson’s home room, 314, had a 100% rating n return of re- port cards. Each member of the group brought his signed card back to school the day after he had re- ceived it.

H-MENS CLUB H-Men are launching the first E art of their year’s financial fracas y selling Brickie emblem transfers for windshields, windows, note- books, or practically any kind of surface that looks as though it might be in a receptive mood for a bit of decorative advertising. Proceeds from the sales will go toward a get-together for students and alumna in the Roosevelt Gym- nasium after the Hobart-Froebel game Friday night, November 14. There will be a Dutch lunch, and H-men and their sponsors. Coaches Kurth and Moore, are planning to show pictures of some outstanding football game of last season. Any- one who ever has received a major letter in sports at Hobart High School is urged to come to the get- together. (“No women!” said T. Moore). In a meeting of the club on Thursday, October 30, plans for the get-together were discussed, and Albert Kazlauski was elected to serve as secretary of the organiza- tion to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Robert Balitz. Page Six HO-HI LIFE VOGUISH VAGARIES ARMISTICE DAY CONVO As we watch Ho-Hi’s girls pass- ing up and down the corridors, we can’t resist a moment’s reflection anent the whimsy of that frivolous Dame Fashion as portrayed by Miss High School of ’41. Sloppy Joes, Sloppy Sallies, and the Constantly Correct Cardigan are much in evidence in gay colors or pastels in the Sweater Sweep- stakes. Skirts and blouses still are heavy favorites, particularly if the skirts are of gay plaids and if the blouses are casually tailored. What’s this we see? ? ? Did some- one dress before she was quite awake, grabbing the wrong anklet? Oh, you say that Madame Smart sanctions unmatched socks this year? Is that part of the defense program’s results? Saddle shoes are far out in front as we near the finish line, although they seem to be kept a bit cleaner than they were last year. Running an interesting, even though not challenging second, are white rub- ber boots and cowboy boots. Hair bows are perched here and there throughout the hair, and oc- casionally pigtails lend their amus- ing but ... • may we say it? . . . un- flattering touch. Charm and iden- tification bracelets and .... oh yes! .... those colorful macaroni neck- laces make jaunty jewelry. On the way to and from school we see heads bedraped with large and gay kerchiefs, and bodies be- bundled in the ever popular rever- sibles Whacky? Some of it; still it ' s a beguiling Fantasia by that Fascin- ating Friend Fashion. In recognition of Armistice Day there will be a special convocation Tuesday morning, November 11, shortly before 11 A. M. Following the presentation of colors and the invocation, Mr. Fred Baumer will present the guest speaker of the morning, Mr. Edward Paine of Michigan City.

GROUP Are you acquainted with the many needs and problems of your school city? Has it ever occurred to you to wonder what needs are uppermost? To cite the most glar- ing examples, they are proper light- ing and rest room facilities, more guidance work, visual aids, more building and playground space, and a cylinder press for the print shop. These are the things which, accord- ing to Superintendent Harlie Gar- ver, the Hobart Public School sys- tem needs most. Presenting vivid illustrations and comparisons, Superintendent Gar- ver spoke to members of Central Parent-Teachers’ Association Tues- day night, November 11, on “The Financial Problems of the Hobart Schools.” The talk followed an hour of open house in Central and Roosevelt Buildings, during which time all teachers were in their rooms to talk with visiting parents and friends. Mr. Garver pointed out various peculiar characteristics of the city of Hobart, mentioning its “mush- room growth,” its abnormally ex- tensive geographical area, its nat- ural division into somewhat distinct neighborhood groups, its unusually predominant residential nature, its homogeneity, its quiet and beauty. As a preview to his discussion of financial problems, Mr. Garver de- scribed in some detail the improve- ments which Hobart has made in her schools during the last year and a half and toward which she still is working. He reviewed a long list of physical improvements, and he stressed the faculty improvements and the betterment of staff and student morale. (Continued on page 6) WHY BE THANKFUL Last year I felt a vague sensation Of gratitude for several blessings: A welcome pause for a school vaca- tion, (This thought was foremost, I’m confessing) ; A festive board ’round which were gathered Those near to me through family ties; A big, fat turkey, now de-feathered; And cranberry sauce, and hot mince pies. Another year is now behind me, A year in which I’ve learned a les- son: I’ve learned that life is not all friendly — Sometimes an enemy makes trans- gression. Then, it seems, all the world must suffer, Trying to right the heartless wrong Caused by a few who think they’re tougher Than those who stay where they belong. There’s war, and hunger, and priva- tion — To relieve these things we all must give; We must so direct our education That our ideals can do naught but live. Let us be thankful for our heritage; Give thanks that Mars has not touched this sod; And though we face a trying chal- lenge — Even for this, give thanks to God! FROEBEL ELEVEN UPSETS BRICKIES 80- YARD RUN FOR GOAL GIVES BLUE DEVILS 12- 6 WIN After two quarters of playing Froebel practically off its feet, the Brickies showed almost complete reversal of form during the second half Tuesday night on the home field, becoming so dazed with a spectacular 80-yard touchdown run made by the Gary thunderbolt Glenn in the opening seconds of play during the third quarter leaving the Brickies too much dazed ever to re- gain a lead. At the beginning of the ball game Froebel kicked off to “Speed” Tay- lor, who returned to the 34-yard line. Several nice runs with Rose, Taylor, and Howell lugging the ball carried the pigskin to the 7-yard stripe. On second down Rose’s pass was intercepted by Froebel on the 5-yard line. After Froebel had reel- ed off a first down they kicked to Rose on the 50-yard line. A long forward pass from Rose to Howell was good to the Froebel 27-yard line A beautiful run by Howell put the ball on the 8-yard marker, and two plays by Rose and Taylor placed it on the 3-yard line, from where “Speed” Taylor cracked over for the touchdown on third down. Rose’s place kick for the extra point was low. | Shearer’s kickoff to Froebel on the 30-yard stripe ended the quarter. During the second period the ball changed hands several times via the fumble route. Highlights of the second quarter were several kicks by Wilbur Howell, one going out on the 20-yard marker and one on the 3-yard line, keeping Froebel on the defensive during most of the quarter. The highlight of the entire game from the Froebel standpoint was the opening kickoff of the third period, (Continued on page 6) Page Two HO-HI LIFE Hobart High School, Hobart, Indiana Edited, Published, and Printed By the Journalism Class Subscription Rates Per Year: Local 60 c; by mail 80 c.

VOICE IN VERSE TURKEY DINNER— NEXT YEAR A proud little turkey one November morn Decided to take a walk. He met Whiskers, the old gray goat, Who seemed to want to talk. “Oscar,” he said, “you must run and hide quick. Tomorrow’s Thanksgiving, you know!” But Oscar had other ideas for that — He’d planned it out just so! He strutted across the barnyard, head high. There he met Rusty, the pup, Who barked, then advised, “Oscar, go quick!” But he still kept his head right up. The ducks and chickens, the cows and the horse, Each warned him of the day. They called him a foolish turkey For not trying to run away. Then the farmer came with the hat- chet and block. The animals held their breath — At last poor Oscar’s time had come — At last he was taken to death! But now his head began to droop, And tears came into his eyes. He let out a little touching cry And a couple of long-drawn sighs. The farmer set the hatchet down; Then he shooed Oscar away. He decided to have chicken Thanks- giving And turkey some other day! — Lila Spoor, 8B2 Mr. Blue: What is the future of “He drinks”? Ruth Titus: He is drunk! CHATTER MATTER Ruth Titus seems to be in the groove with Rudy Krall of Lew Wallace. Nice going, Ruthie! Jim Henderson says Joen Niksch is THE girl. Bud Hamilton was in dreamland when he danced with Marcella Johnson at the matinee dance. Does she really affect you that much, Bud? Lost: Billie Lee Nelson’s heart to Bob Kostbade. Ethel Govert and Nic Holzmer have been going pretty steady late- ly. Ask Paul Stephens what gives him the “laughing cramps.” We wonder when we see that “far-away look” in the eyes of Lewis Roper whether it could be that he is pining for Betty Foster of East Gary??? Lloyd Trumbo confesses that “Life Ain’t Worth While” unless Rosemary says she’ll be his “Sweetie Pie.” Right, Mr. Trumbo? We have reasons to believe that Jack Worthington has located a heart interest — Name?— Martha Jo Sullens. Have you noticed that Eileen Smythe’s heart has moved from the cornet section to the baritone sec- tion of the band? Oh, Francesco!! We wonder why Jenny Mazepa had fire in her eyes the night of the parade? Could it be that she sight- ' ed Bob Pester with Annette Peter- son?— Better get out those boxing gloves!! Have you heard the nickname which Jack Stiles has given to Jean Gordon? It’s “Squeedunk!” It seems that little Tootsie Reed has fallen for H-Man Rogers in a big way, serving him dinner and everything. Trent Kostbade is always getting scoldings from Miss McKenna in the assembly— We wonder why, Rose Lee? Did you all smile sweetly for your pictures? Cleo Mock thinks Zupka is plenty nice. Be careful there, girl, for he belongs to someone else. Right, Shirley? Why do June and Violet wait for Tuesdays and Thursdays — some- thing special, huh? Jack Bell declares he’s a woman- hater— sa ys he’s going to join the Foreign Legion and all. Wow!

KENDALL ATTENDS PRINCIPALS’ CONCLAVE Pincipal William R. Kendall at- tended a meeting of the North Central Association of Secondary School Principals held Monday, November 10, at Indiana Univer- sity in Bloomington, Indiana. Following registration Monday morning, each principal held con- ferences with University freshmen who had come from that principal’s high school. Mr. Kendall conferred with only one former Hobart High School student, Jarvis Roper, who is a freshman in the Indiana Uni- versity School of Business. Jarvis requested that Mr. Kendall tell the boys and girls that they should learn to study in high school, “for it’s much easier than as freshmen!” At a noon luncheon meeting of the group Dr. Carl G. F. Franzen, chairman of the State Committee of the North Central Association, spoke to the principals on the topic of extracurricular activities, except- ing athletics. Rudolph Lindquist, headmaster of the Cranwood School for Boys in Bloomfield Hills, Michi- gan, was the principal speaker in the afternoon meeting. His topic was “Guidance.” KINDERGARTEN KIDDIES With the defense program creat- ing deplorable shortages and cut- ting down on the manufacture of transportation facilities for domes- tic use, the far-sighted and resource- ful kindergarten children decided to utilize materials on hand and to construct an airplane and a bus for their own use. Working hard by fastening to- gether pieces of brown-colored wood, the boys and girls now have completed a plane and a bus in which many already have had the privilege to ride. (Test runs all are made in the kindergarten rooms, which offers freedom from traffic problems, pedestrians, and other bothersome details encountered in the city streets.) The plane has a seating capacity of five, the bus of eight. Mr. Gar- ver as yet has assigned no new routes for either vehicle. Mr. Yunker: “Can you give me Lincoln ' s Gettysburg Address?” Bob McDonald: “No, but he used to live at the White House.” Governor Henry F. Schricker of the State of Indiana sent to Super- intendent Harlie Garver of the Hobart City Schools an invitation to be present at the launching of the Battleship U.S.S. Indiana, for which the Governor’s daughter, Mrs. Margaret Schricker Robbins, is the sponsor. The ceremony will take place on Friday morning, November 21, at Newport News, Virginia. Although Mr. Garver found it necessary to decline the invitation, he expressed pleasure at being in- cluded in the invited guest list. NOTICE! Football boys are urged to return jerseys which have disappeared re- cently. Boys should show their appreciation of the new equipment by taking proper care of it.

PAINE ADDRESSES ARMISTICE DAY CONVO To impress upon the minds of the student body the significance and purpose of celebrating Armistice Day, a convocation was held Tues- day morning, November 11, in the Roosevelt Gym. After the colors were posted by the American Legion, the High School Band played “The Star Spangled Banner”. Mrs. Wilma Reynolds Abel, a guest, sang “Amer- ica”. Mr. Garver commended the Le- gion members on their willingness to assist the school whenever need- ed, and he then introduced Com- mander Fred Baumer of the Hobart Post. Mr. Eward Paine, guest speaker, related to the student body some of the reactions and emotional changes brought on by war. His speech reached its climax, re- ceived with a round of applause, when he declared, “We here in America have a wonderful heritage handed down from our forefathers. For our youth today there should be a greater glorification of this heritage”. The speaker emphasized the fact that liberty is useless un- less we strive to guard it and keep it forever. “To be a good American citizen and to live in these United States is a privilege to which there is no comparison,” Mr. Paine continued. “I have traveled all over America, have talked to and with the people, and we are a grand lot, we Ameri- cans. We are a free people, and we shall, at all costs, retain this sacred heritage of ours.” A benediction and “Taps,” play- ed by Floyd Demmon, brought the service to a close. REPUBLICANS ELECT ROBERT SIZEMORE Ho-Hi’s young Republicans held an organization meeting Tuesday, November 4, which resulted in the election of Robert Sizemore, chair- man: Evelyn Adams, assistant; and Alice Greenlee, secretary-treasurer. The group chose also the precinct chairmen and their assistants. A committee is formulating the party platform, and campaign plans are under way. Page Four HO-H1 LIFE DRIBBLE DRIVEL “With six lettermen returning from last year’s tournament team and the boys rarin’ to go places on the hardwood this season, chanc- es are that the Brickies will develop into a fine aggregation of basket- ball hoopers. We don’t expect to win all our games, as we have plenty of spots to iron out before we become a contender for top hon- ors. With plenty of spirit and the sureness that comes only with com- petition, we should be one of the better teams around tournament time.” That is the way Coach Frank Kurth, Brickie basketball mentor, summed up his hopes for the season. Lost through graduation last year were Captain Raymond Dommer, sensational forward for three years, and Ben Pavalakovic, husky guard. Veteran lettermen whom Coach Kurth hopes to use as a nucleus from which to build a top-flight team are co-captains Lewis “Louie” Rose and Alfred “Ace” Ritter, Ray- mond “Cy” Ciszek, Floyd “Foozy” Wineinger, George Zupko, and Rob- ert Balitz.

Prospects for additional members to the team are bright, many candi- dates moving up from last year’s reserve, freshman, and Junior High teams. Last year Coach Kurth in his first season came through with a record of 12 victories and 10 defeats including tournament games, many of the defeats being by close mar- gins. From the official close of the foot- ball season on November 14, Coach Kurth could count but ten days in which to whip the squad into play- ing form for the inaugural contest against a tough Chesterton Maroon five on the Brickie home floor, November 28. Stiffest competition is expected from East Gary, Griffith, Crown Point, Portage and Chesterton. These five rank as a class of non- conference teams all having veteran squads returning.

The play is a fast-moving comedy involving a lady critic and an actor — their meeting and the subsequent development of the time-old love theme — but with a different and amusing twist. LIBRARIANS’ CLUB Monday, November 17, was the date chosen for the Librarians’ Club skating party at the rink on U. S. Road 6, near the viaduct. School busses transported the students to the x-ink. Members decided upon the poppy as the club flower because its colors, red, black, and white, are the same as those of the club.

DEMOCRATS ELECT LOIS KUPKEE Lois Kupkee was elected chair- man of the Hobart High School Democratic Central Committee at an organization meeting of the party members Thursday, November 6. Other officers elected were Jean Fiester, vice-chairman and Stanley Leszczynski. Chosen as committee- men of their respective precincts were (1.) Genevieve Murray; (2.) Stanley Leszczynski; (3.) Edward Wells; (4.) Marlin Pope; and (5.) Jean Szewzyk. Plans are being formulated rap- idly for a primary election to be held in the near future in this new student government project which is intended to teach the students how cities are governed in this democracy. H0-H1 LIFE Page Six (Continued from page 1) teamed on a reverse play with Shaffer taking the ball deep to his left and with Glenn getting the ball from Shaffer on a reverse, running it back to his deep right, streaking 80 yards down the sideline for a touchdown. A pass into the end zone for the extra point was in- complete, tieing up the score at 6-6. After this run the Brickies’ spirit seemed to lag as Froebel put them on the defensive during the re- mainder of the period, finally scor- ing again on a plunge over center from the 1-yard line, after a long pass had put the ball deep into the Brickie territory. The try for extra point was wide. In the final period the Brickies tried desperately to knot the count, once taking the ball as far as the Froebel 20-yard stripe on a long pass from Rose to Hutchens. Sev- eral passes into the end zone fell incomplete, snuffing out the Brick- ies’ last chance for victory. The game ended with Froebel in posses- sion of the ball on their own 40- yard line. The defeat brought the Brickie season to a close with four wins against five defeats. The Brickies will begin next season’s play right where they left off this year, for they will open with Froebel in Gleason Park on September 11, and they hope to gain revenge as they inaugurate the 1942 campaign-.

DECEMBER 2. 1941 NOJ BRICKIES MOW DOWN MAROONS, 37 TO 28 HO-HI ' S OPENING HARDWOOD TILT INDICATES GOOD SEASON Hobart High’s fighting cagemen let loose with a commendable dis- play of basket sniping in their opening game Friday night, No- vember 28, to score a 37-28 vic- tory over Chesterton’s Maroon five on the Brickie hardwood. Chesterton opened the scoring early in the first period, followed by alternate shots into the draped rim by both teams. The quarter end- ed at 8-7, with Chesterton ahead. During the second period Hobart outscored the Maroons 9 points to 7, regaining the lead at half time, 16 to 15. The Brickie quintet, led by Bill Shearer, who sparked a blistering attack late in the third period, pour- ed three fielders into the hoop in rapid succession. Chesterton staged a brave comeback, scoring two free throws and two field goals, only to find the Brickies with an auspic- ious 27-22 lead at the three-quarter mark. Hobart gave their opponents a hot battle during the entire fourth quar- ter, scoring 10 points while Ches- terton could garner but six points. The final gun found Hobart on the heavy end of a 37-28 margin. Top scoring honors for the Brick- ies went to A1 Ritter, center, who had 6 field goals and 4 free throws to his credit. Pacing the attack for the Maroons was Smith, who scored 4 fielders _. (Continued on page 4) NOTICE !

POUND CONDUCTS GRADUATE SURVEY SCHOOL IS STRIVING FOR BETTER COORDINATION WITH INDUSTRY In order to be of more service to the community, Hobart High School has sent a questionnaire to every- one graduated from this school within the last five years. Results of these questionnaires should provide information regard- ing where Ho-Hi graduates are lo- cated, in what occupations they are engaged, and who their employers are. Also, an attempt is being made to find out the amount of training required for each job. The primary purpose of the sur- vey is to obtain information which will be of value in planning the high school curriculum so as to co- ordinate it most effectively with the demands of the industrial and business world. Graduates are asked to offer any suggestions which they may have pertinent to such curricu- lum organization. With this assist- ance to school administrators will be able to evaluate past training and to devise an efficient guidance program for present • and future high school students. At the head of the survey is Don- ald L. Pound, acting in his capa- city as industrial and trades coord- inator. The school wishes to be of service to adults as well as to stu- dents, and is plans to offer further adult training if there is a demand for such. STUDENTS BUY STAMPS FOR DEFENSE BONDS A total of 341 pupils of the Hobart City Schools have already begun to use defense stamp books, according to a count made at the end of the second week of sales.

BOOK NOOK THE CHUCKLING FINGERS Are you a mystery or murder story fiend? If you are, be sure to read Mabel Seeley’s THE CHUCK- LING FINGERS. With only three books to her credit, Mabel Seeley has risen to the top as far as both readers and critics are concerned. In THE CHUCKLING FINGERS she presents the story of the weird and strange events which beset the Heaton family, Minnesota lumber tycoons, at their remote, pine- grown estate on Lake Superior. Who was the murderer of Bill Heaton and his uncle Phillip? Was it Ann Gay, a cousin to Mrs. Bill Heaton, or was it Mrs. Bill Heaton? Could it have been Mrya, Bill Hea- ton’s aunt? The murderer was one of thirteen different suspects. What was the motive? Why did all the evidence seem to point to Jacque- line, Bill Heaton’s wife? Was she the murderess? What was the significance of the acid in Jacqueline’s toilet kit, the burned matchsticks under a bed, the word MONARCH scrawled with a child’s blue chalk on a rock? How did the black evening wrap figure in the story? Read THE CHUCK- LING FINGERS to solve the mys- tery. Find out how the book got its name, and enjoy reading one of the best mystery and murder stories of the year. KINDERGARTEN KIDDIES No one will be seeing the kind- ergarten students around the school, for Miss Yackee and hea students moved Monday, December 1, to the Masonic Temple. In addition to pasting pictures of Santas and oth er Christmas decor- ations on the walls and to cutting out pretty green Christmas trees, the students have recently organ- ized a band in which there are bells, drums, cymbals, and many other instruments. The students are quite busy working out rhythm pieces for the band to play at Christmas time. JUNIOR AUXILIARY PLANS COOKIE BAKE, CAROLING Seven members of the American Legion Junior Auxiliary met at 6:30 o’clock Tuesday night, November 25, in the Legion Hall, with the new president, Geraldine Grey, presiding.

Gleefully colored sweaters, breath-taking bright plaid skirts iand socks that shriek from loud- ness seem to symbolize the gaiety of young moderns. Cardigans have become a classic to the high school and college stud- ents. The masculine fashion pace-set- ters find themselves bedecked in brilliant flannel shirts, but remain loyal to soft tweed trousers — (but Oh! those socks that are unmerciful to the eyes!) Camel’s hair coats are struggling against the new boy-coat. The boy- coat is typical of the girls’ fondness of adopting masculine fashions. These fashions are dominating the teen-age world now, but won’t they seem quaint in 1960? Good Sport: One who will always let you have your own way. UP ON THE HOUSETOPS” THEY’RE SANTA’S HELPERS In case you have seen boys run- ning over the tops of some of the buildings in the business district of Hobart and have wondered what was going on, just remember that “Santa Claus is coming to town.” The boys atop roofs are students from the Building Trades classes, and they are assisting the Junior Chamber of Commerce by erecting a public address system to be used in connection with Christmas carol- ing this year.

I They are under the supervision of Mr. Golden, a former coach at Spice- land, Indiana, assisted by Mr. Kurth. A program of junior high bas- ketball has been successfully de- veloped in many large schools thru- out the State. It is hoped that, with this early basketball exper- ience in Junior High, by the time the boys reach the freshmen and varsity teams they will have had sufficient fundamental and practical game experience to become more polished players than a senior high school program could develop with- out the aid of earlier training. Practice got underway Tuesday, November 17, with the prospects of a pretty good team in view, accord- ing to Coach Kurth. Shirley Haxton was driving along a country road when she noticed a couple of repair men climbing tele- phone poles. “Fools,” she exclaimed to her companion. “They must think I never drove a car before.” Home Service Station Texaco Products MAIN ST. at the BRIDGE HOBART, INDIANA Bowl for Your Health Hobart Bowling Alley Let Us Help You With Your Xmas Shopping Now Use Our LAY AWAY Plan Watches - Billfolds - Rings Clocks - Tie Sets • Crosses Lockets - Key Chains - Pen Sets Bracelets - Brush Sets - Pins Martin Binder leweler 216 Main Hobart, Ind. and 2 extra points.

Wirth, author of the American history textbook used in the Hobart High School, told the 1,000 members of the National Social Studies Council, of which he is president, at the organization’s national convention in Indianapolis November 21-22, ac- cording to Mr. Merle Blue of the social studies department of Hobart High School, who attended this two- day meeting of social studies teach- ers and university leaders. On the program were many nation- ally prominent teachers and lead- ers, including Howard E. Wildon of Harvard University, Lloyd Cook, president of Ohio State University, and Dr. Guy Stanton Ford, presi- dent of the American Historical As- sociation. Mr. Blue participated in a seminar, discussing the subject “What Shall We Teach About Europe During the War?” He re- ported that the highlights of the convention were the addresses made by Dr. Ford and Dr. Henry Johns- ton, formerly of Columbia Univers- ity Teachers’ College.

EastGary Game Tonight Will Begin At 7:15 Tonight the Brickies will travel to East Gary to risk their undefeat- ed record against their rivals. The Eagles have been flying high so far this season, with five wins against one loss. Crown Point’s Bulldogs, undefeated in four contests, have been the only team able to clip the Eagles’ wings to date this year. Last year Edison bested Hobart in the East Gary gymnasium 3 3 to 29, while Hobart was returned the victory, 40 to 36, in the Brickie gymnasium. All indications point to a “red hot” battle tonight. Hobart’s Brickies racked up their second successive victory of the season by downing the “Red Devils” of Lowell Friday evening, December 5, in the Roosevelt Gym before an overflow crowd by a score of 36 to 26. Th e Hobart second team also came through with a win over the Lowell “B” team, 31 to 25. The varsity game was especially hard fought during the first half as Lowell gained a 7-0 lead in the first two minutes of play. Hall and Fish of Lowell led the early offen- sive attack on the Brickies, scoring three field goals and a free toss between them. ' After a time out the local team resumed play with a more spirited determination as they found the hoop for seven points in the re- maining time of the first quarter. Lowell, however, continued to add to their early lead and finished out in front as the period ended, 12 points to 7 points. Things began to shape up better for the Brickies in the second quar- ter as Zupko, Ciszek and Rose hit from the field in rapid succession to bring the locals up on a parr with the Lowell five at 18 to 18. Shearer’s free throw put the Brick- ies out in front, 19 to 18, as the half closed. They kept the lead for the remainder of the ball game. Hobart’s Ritter, who had been held to four points in the first half, made his bid for scoring honors as he outclassed his center oppon- ent to toss in eight additional points during the last half. Some fine defensive work by the Brickie five held Lowell to a single field goal during the final half, this one coming against the reserve combination in the last 30 seconds of play. At the three-quarter mark Ho- bart led 28 to 20. Shearer, Wineinger, Ciszek and Rose added nine points to Ritter’s second-half total to clinch the Continued on Page 6 JAPAN’S TREACHERY BRINGS 470-1 VOTE FOR WAR MONDAY Since Decemer 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States of America and the Japanese Empire. Thus Congress decreed Monday, December 8, in answer to a request from President Roosevelt that war be declared. The Senate was un- animously in favor of declaration, while Representative Jeannette Rankin of Montana cast the single dissenting vote in the House of Rep- resentatives, making the count 470 to 1 in favor of the President’s stand. On Sunday Japanese planes at - tacked both the Philippines and Hawaii, even during the very time when the Japanese ambassador to this country sat in Washington dis- cussing the maintenance of peace- ful relationships in the Pacific be- tween the two nations. Government officials and radio news commentators repeatedly re- ferred to the attack as “dastardly and cowardly,” declaring that the Japanse government’s statement to this country was filled with “in- famous falsehoods and treachery.” The treachery of the Japanese in attacking at the moment they did apparently has served to solidify public opinion and sentiment in the United States so that barriers have been forgotten between op- posing political forces, between isolationists and interventionists, between pro- and anti-administra- tion newspapers, and between long-battling labor groups. Even the most radical opponents of war have realized the futility of at- tempts at isolation, and all have pledged to fight until “the inev- itable triumph.” Monday afternoon Great Britain joined the United States by declar- Continued on Page 6 Page Two HO-HI LIFE Hobart High School, Hobart, Indiana Edited, Published, and Printed By the Journalism Class Subscription Rates Per Year: Local 50c; by mail 80c.

Jimmy Clausen, a fifth grade pu- pil of Miss Scott, is proud of the fact that he is an American with the privilege of attending an Amer- ican school. To demonstrate his just pride Jimmy TAKES IT UP- ON HIMSELF to pick up papers, both his own and those strewn so carelessly about the school by other students. These papers and other bits of debris Jimmy deposits in waste baskets. He has been ob- served going along the halls, pick- ing up unsightly bits, and deposit- ing them in their proper receptacl- es. Such actions should put us older students to shame, for so many of us just toss our scraps of paper any- where and say or think to our- selves, “Let the janitors clean it up . . . they get paid for it.” It’s true, the janitors do get paid for keeping our school clean; but little do we realize how much other work they have to do, without pick- ing up the scraps we drop. You can expect a two-year-old to tear up paper and throw it around, but we high school students are old enough to know better. Jimmy likes to see the halls of Hobart High neat and free from paper, so he does his part to keep them that way. Are we going to let this young lad, who has the right school pa- triotism and cooperative spirit, show us how to be “good schoolkeepers?” Come on, students . . . let’s take a tip from this smart young fellow and follow his e xample. Mr. Yunker: John, who had the longest beard in the United States. John Havrilla: Santa Claus. It seems as if Cleo H.’s heart is all in a flutter over Betty Sopko’s new hair-do. He quotes, “I love her just the way she is now.” What’s this? Jack Stiles taking Jean Gordon home after the game Friday has caused some talk. Have they begun all over again? Lucy Tzitz seems to think that Billy Graffet is just “Ok.” It seems as if Lowell E. and Jack B. are left out in the cold. Guess why? Esqueline Burton Jias finally succeeded in getting G. Moss. Lloyd Trombo also has a broken heart. Is that an engagement ring Sophie K. is wearing? Could it be from a Gary boy named “Jimmy?” What is this about Lloyd Trombo frightening his ideal, Ruth Balitz, with a snake?

Participating in the debate were Elsie Matovich, Evelyn Adams, and Lawrence Surman. On Friday, December 5, “The Out- cast of Poker Flat” .was presented by a cast including Lawrence Sur- man, Lawrence Riley, Donald Ho- worth, Charles Ray, Cecil Hamil- ton, Jack Julian, Anne Nehring, Peggylou Baile and Mary Smith, with Thelma Mirodeas as cast direc- tor. The play was an adaptation written by members of the organ- ization from the original short story by the same name. Helen Mae Lennertz, Sophie Mar- chetti, and Joan Julian are plan- ning for the presentation of another play, “Potato Soup,” in the near future. FRENCH CLUB At the regular meeting of the French Club Friday, November 28, Joen Niksch translated from French to English an article on “Tanger.” Joen is the newly-elected vice-pres- ident of the organization. Plans are under way for a play to be presented soon by the club. GIRLS’ CLUB Lorraine Trager is the riewlv- elected secretary of the Girls’ Club, filling a vacancy caused by the recent resignation of Grace D mer. Lorraine was chosen at the Club’s regular meeting, Monday. November 24. The discussion was devoted to plans for the Holly Hop to be held Thursday, December 11, and the Kitchen Kookie Tea to be held Thursday, December 18. Club members are planning scrapbooks to be made and sent to small child- ren in institutions to brighten their Christmas. In order to eliminate waiting and confusion in the library, the girl who regularly worked in the assem- bly will be placed in the main library. This new system, which went into effect December 1, is also effective in the Junior High library. The skating party, held December 1 at the New Chicago Skating rink, was reported to be a success. G.

Members soon will begin selling small emblems made of purple felt and bearing on them a small gold felt basketball. Money for the skating party must be given to Miss Risk or to Blanche Wilson before the Christmas vaca- tion begins. FRESHMEN CAPER AT CLASS PARTY As the first class function of the year the Class of ’45 staged a party in the Recreation Room Thursday, November 27. “The Farmers’ Chorus,” a rollick- ing ten-minute skit presented by members of Miss McKenna’s home room members, was judged the best stunt in the contest among fresh- man home rooms. In the waltz competition which followed the stunt contest Edith Bigsby was named the most grace- ful girl and Bob Nelson the most graceful boy. “Dusty Rhodes and his “Drifters” provided music for the dancing. Lottery dance prizes were presented. A service of re- freshments brought the party to a WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN HO-HI CLASSES? On Tuesday, December 2, Mr. Miller’s freshman social studies class visited the newly-erected city jail. Chief of Police Frank Traeger pointed out to the students the modern construction of the cells, which are so built that it is almost impossible for a prisoner to escape. He demonstrated for them the pro- cess of fingerprinting and showed them some fingerprint samples. He explained, too, the signal system used locally to notify men on duty that they are wanted at the station. After describing the working or- ganization of the local Police De- partment, Chief Traeger then pre- sented some statistics regarding the number of arrests here last year and also the number during Novem- ber of this year. He cited the var- ious violations charged. Chief Traeger explained for the students the Dyer Act regarding interstate traffic in stolen cars and answered questions which the boys and girls offered. Busily preparing for Christmas, the Senior High art class has been making gi’eeting cards, hand-paint- ed handkerchiefs, and table cloths. For the cloths and kerchiefs the students are using new textile paints recently purchased for the class. When the articles are finish- ed they will be presented to friends as Christmas gifts. The second hour chorus class has been following faithfully these days the old saying that “practice mak- es perfect,” with hopes of getting a result soon. Maybe Miss Warner will let the class sing “Happy Birth- day” for her on December 5. The chorus classes’ skating party is now gone but not forgotten. A large crowd attended the event at the Palace Roller Rink in Ham- mond. Wednesday night, November 24. The party was open to anyone who wished to go, and several graduates of former years attend- ed.

Page Four HO-H1 LIFE SEASON TICKET SALES BREAK ALL RECORDS Ho-Hi’s season basketball ticket sales sparked a new high this year, exceeding all records set in prev- ious years. This is taken as evi- dence that the school spirit and team enthusiasm that had been lax for some time is really coming to the fore to make this the most suc- cessful basketball season Ho-Hi has ever witnessed. A wide margin exists between the 40 student tickets sold last year and the 215 student tickets of this season’s tabulation. Adult ticket sales have also shown an increase from one single sale last year to 40 purchasers this year. Twenty-two per cent ot the Sen- ior High School students have season tickets as have thirty-three per cent of the students in Junior High.

Morris, nationally recognized scientist, en- tertained Ho-Hi members at a con- vocation Monday morning, Decem- ber 1. Despite the fact that the majority of the members of his audience knew little about science, Mr. Morris presented his lecture-dem- onstration in such a non-technical manner and with such unusual ef- fects that the students were kept at a high pitch throughout the pro- gram. In discussing the creativeness of science, the speaker declared, “The finest tools of all are the instru- ments of science.” He went on to exp lain something of the part that science plays in the creative field as well as in the destructive realm of warfare. With his curious devices and the assistance of Bob and Junior Laut- zenhiser and George Andros, Mr. Morris demonstrated a few of the many wonders of electricity and of the radio. Many of his tricky effects appeared to be magic, al- though they were purely the re- sult of scientific knowledge rather than of any knowledge of the “Black Art.” The Station That Gives Complete Service A1 Verplank Center Main 3 DONUTS for 5c with any order The Dairy Maid Compliments of Thompson ' s Beauty and Barber Shop JUNIOR HIGH HONOR ROLL Points Henderson, Charles 15 Beerbower, Doris 12 Grabill, Naomi 12 Hamann, Donald 12 Shaw, Billy n Stonebraker, Sue 12 Greene, Jay n Foreman, Dallas li Otto, Judith 11 Stewart, Thais H Pyatt, Nancy li Hellstrom, Alice H Johnston, Betty 10 Kneifel, Ralph 10 Griffin, Robert 10 Hughes, Peter 10 Brush, Jimmy 10 Veres, La Verne 10 Greenspan, Norma 10 Spoor, Lila 10 Crites, Bill 10 Henschel, Ruth 10 Kostbade, Carol 10 Lossa, Mary 9 Mattix, Joan 9 King, Shirley 9 Klauck, Lorraine 9 Tiffany, Jerry 8 Guthrie, Dorothy 8 Shearer, Edith 8 Mehalic, Doretta 8 Watson, Mary 8 Kates, Patricia 8 Eugene Truitt: “Say, my dog and I went hunting the other day.” Dean Stark: “Get anything?” Eugene: “I don’t know — my dog hasn’t come back yet.” Think for yourself and let oth- 3rs enjoy the privilege to do so too.” — Voltaire.

MILLER TAKES GROUP TO PURDUE CONFERENCE Mr. Miller, Richard Hamilton, Albert. Kazlauski, Robert Sizemore, and Frank Rowen attended the Stu- dents’ Legislative Assembly and Debate Tournament at Purdue Uni- versity Saturday, December 6. They heard Captain Keesling of the War Department at Washington discuss military training for young men from eighteen to twenty-one years of age. He said he believed it to be desirable for every boy to take one year of training upon gradua- tion from high school, before be- ginning college. In the afternoon the group heard outstanding teams from Hammond, Fort Wayne, and Lane Tech debate the question, “Resolved: All young men should receive military train- ing before reaching the age of twenty-one.” Albert Kazlauski and Richard Hamilton received a short examin- ation in the Purdue University Speech Clinic.

In downing the Griffith five the Ho-Hi basketeers also gained their second “Little Four” conference win. Only Crown Point’s Bulldogs, also undefeated to date, stand in the way of a Hobart Conference championship. On Tuesday night, December 9, the Brickies took the measure of perhaps their bitterest rival, East Gary Edison, winning in a thrilling contest, 24 to 23. This victory for the Brickies gave them possession of the Gary Post-Tribune “Victory Ball.” It also marked the first time in six years that Hobart has defeat- ed the Eagles in their home gymna- sium. All Brickies Score Balanced scoring and teamwork was the keynote of the Griffith vic- tory, as all seven Brickies partici- scoring column for two or more points, at the same time holding Griffith to 14 points. The Brickies led by quarter scores 6-5, 11-9, and 16-12, with a 21-14 final tabulation. Keeping con- trol of the ball during most of the game, the Ho-Hi boys attempted but 35 shots, connecting on 9 of them.

SCOOPS FROM OUR SUPER SNOOPER Enters a new villain, children. The SNOOPER. I sit across from you in English, Jack. I’ve also got that broken seat in the Assembly that squeaks. Don’t squeal on me, though. Move over, Dick Tracy, Charlie Chan and Superman. I’ve got a job in Hobart High. Although there have been no official communiques from Head- quarters at the east end of main hall, from the appearance of cash- laden teachers surrounding Elaine’s desk in the principal’s office, there must be a lot of vain people who are planning to give photographs for Christmas. Too, there has been a lot of trading sight unseen. Several kids have a yeritable rogues’ gal- lery in their collection. The gym was so full for the Ches- terton and Lowell games that the crowds bulged out of the windows. They had to lock the door before eight o’clock for the last game. And did we yell! Did you notice that there was very little booing after that calling down we got for our behavior at the Chesterton game? A few scattered outbursts from grandstand experts, but quite an improvement. Too much yelling when opponents are shooting fouls, though. Ought to be ashamed of ourselves, eh, Mr. Kendall? We need more fire drills. There isn’t enough diversion during the average day to break the monotony. Nothing like a hike and a chance to exchange war news (?). What with all the air raid warnings and drills on both coasts, we need to get in shape for things to come. There is a rumor that a paper saving campaign is being plansed. Naomi S.: Why is that ant run- ning so fast around that box? Peggy B. He’s smooth. He can read. It says on the box, ”To open, tear around edges.” All a part of the program to con- serve materials that are apt to be very scarce as the war progresses. So don’t wad up that paper and throw it in the halls. Put it un- wrinkled in the waste basket. It’ll be hard on Mr. Kendall. He’s been keeping his waistline down by picking up paper in the halls. We gotta win this war, though, waist- line or no waistline. A lot of rules come from here and there. Most often we don’t know where. If the teachers ex- pect us to act like adults, they should treat us like adults and ex- plain where rules originate and why they are necessary. Without such explanation it’s another case of taxation without representation. Rules are necessary, but knowing Why makes us WANT to obey them. ’Nuf sed! DAY DREAMING — Love knows no season, what with all the pairs we see in the halls these days when the snow flies ....

They are also planning a gift exchange for that same day. Mr. Bagshaw’s social studies classes recently witnessed movies entitled “The New South.” The students are making maps showing the growth of the United States. Miss Anderson’s literature classes have been studying a unit in their book dealing with finding enjoy- ment. Griffith’s Junior cagemen edged out a close 16-15 victory over Coach Nelson Golden’s Brickie Juniors in a whirlwind battle Wednesday, Dec- ember 10, on the local hardwood, marking the first of a series of scheduled games to be played by the newly organized Junior High team. With the regulation game tied at 15-15, Griffith’s Juniors downed the Brickies in a brilliant overtime. Brickies came out from behind after Griffith’s cagers led by a score of 7-1 at the first quarter, 10-5 at half-time, and 12-9 at the three- quarter mark. Marler proved high point man for the Brickies, scoring four field goals and one charity toss, while Miller led Griffith with eight points to his credit. Marler, Nuzum, Ritter, Conley, Johnson, and Keller saw action in the Hobart lineup. TRUTHS BY RUTH Congratulations, basketball team, for your good work Keep it up all through the season. . . .

HO-HI LIFE FROM OUR CUB AT THE CLUB HUB INDUSTRIAL CLUB Mr. Martin and his group of In- dustrial Club boys are planning to make this Christmas a happy one for unfortunate children in Hobart. On Thursday evenings the group have been devoting several hours in the workshop to repair and re- paint old toys and to make new ones. The club would welcome sugges- tions as to children who might wel- come some of these toys in their Christmas stockings. Anyone who knows of such children is asked to give their names to Mr. Garver or to Mr. Martin as soon as possible. Also, any students who have in their homes some broken or dis- carded toys are asked to bring them to the workshop or to inform Mr. Martin where the toys could be E icked up in order that they might e repaired by Industrial Club members. HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club, under the direc- tion of its president, John Havrilla, has consented to aid in the estab- lishment of a toy-loan center for the children of Hobart. A local girls’ club has selected this project as a public service to the citizens of Hobart, while the Hi-Y members will have charge of the collecting, repairing, and dist- ribution of the toys. The principle of the toy loan- center is similar to that of a lend- ing library except that toys are to be lent rather than books. The cooperation of the student body in this worthy project will be greatly appreciated by both organ- izations. CINEMA-RADIO CLUB Cinema-Radio Club members en- joyed a Christmas party on Thurs- day, December 18, during the acti- vities period, pencil and paper games and musical selections ser- ving as entertainment. Program chairman was Billie Ann Huey with the following on her committee: Elaine Reisinger, Robert Luke, and Bob Rosenbaum. ART CLUB Jim Needham, a new student in Hobart High School who came from Tolleston, became a member ber of the Art Club at the group’s meeting Thursday, December 11. Most of the meeting was devoted to making plans for the Christmas party to be held Thursday, Decem- ber 18. Members are working “full steam ahead” on their puppets and play, “Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp.” GIRLS’ CLUB With decorations and theme in keeping with the Christmas season, members of the Girls’ Club held their annual boys’ and girls’ party Thursday night, December 11, in the Recreation Room. Following work shop demonstra- tions, the remainder of the evening was devoted to a scavenger hunt and dancing. Dorothy Foreman was in charge of the service of re- freshments at the close of the eve- ning’s entertainment. ' G. A. A. “Play the front line!” “Get in your position!” “Hit that ball!” These and other similar yells is- sued from Roosevelt Gym while the G. A. A. girls were busy getting in shape for the volleyball tourna- ment which began Monday night, December 15. The club is divided into four teams, the Hornets, Wildcats, Vol- leybelles, and the Comets. Finals will be played Friday, December ' 19. Monday, January 12, is the date set for the boy-’bnd-girl skating party which the club will sponsor. The party will be held in the New Chicago roller rink, and members are requested to hand in their guests’ names before Christmas va- cation. II CLUB Although outnumbered five to one, full-fledged members of the H-Men’s Club are plotting rough initiation activities for uninitiated members. The initiation party on January 14, 1942, will be the lirst the organization has held since 1939. The five fujl fledged members of the club are Lewis Rose, Bob Hill, Jack “Speed” Taylor, Junior Laulz- enhiser, and Albert Kazlauski. These boys comprise the initiation committee. Newest major letter earners in the club are Jack Anderson, Wal- lace Drummond, Paul Stephens, and Jack Murray, who earned their honors in football; Eugene Truitt, Harvey Fermen, and Charles Ham- ilton, cross-country men; and Bob Lautzenliiser, senior football man- ager.

Sergeant Davis spoke briefly to members of the sophomore, junior and senior classes in the Assembly, and he then showed sound movies which revealed various phases of marine life. “We are not encouraging boys to drop out of school to enlist in either the Army or Marines,” said Serg- eant Davis, “because you as stud- ents are the future rulers of this country; and if we are to maintain an efficient, well-governed democ- racy, we must have educated lead- ers.” SYMPATHY On behalf of the students and faculty of the schools of Hobart, Ho- Hi Life offers sincerest sympathy to Miss Scott, whose father passed away Wednesday, December 10, at his home in Bloomfield, Indiana. BOOK NOOK WINNING OUT” ' Are you planning to become a nurse after graduation from high school” If you are, you will want to read an interesting storv of a nurse’s life at a hospital. Origin- ality cf plot with vivid and real characters are qualities of this book, “Winning Out,” by Marian Hurd McNeely. Again she has writ- ten a story that is alive with char- acters who talk and act like real boys and girls. Two strands of story run side by side in alternating chapters. Both are veil written and interesting throughout the book. Winifred Allen’s life at home on the farm finds Jerry Marks to be wielding a quiet but marked influence upon Winifred’s pampered younger sis- ter, Rene, and her young cousin, Bill, whom her Aunt Emily has spoiled not only by letting him have his own way but also by permitting him to bully little boys. Winifred’s life at Bindlast Hospital, where she was especially intimate with Jan Rowan, a senior nurse whom all the doctors, nurses, and especially the patients liked, is full of action. Miss Osborne, a reserved woman and Superintendent of Nurses plays an important part in the story.. December 5. Due to the absence of several cast members, the play originally scheduled for this meeting was postponed until a later date. Future reading assignments went to Mary Smith, Charles Ray, Walter Zander, Page Four HO-HI LIFE WHAT HAPPENS IN HO-HI CLASSES? As a class project the printing class recently selected the design- ing and making of individual Christmas greeting cards. Each member has designed and printed his own cards. A variety of cuts and ink colors were used. Cuts in- cluded Santa designs, holly sprigs, wreaths, and other original pat- terns. Mr. Martin, class instructor, directed the project.

SALESMEN CONVENE AT MUNDELL HOTEL” Mundell School was the scene of a gala “salesmen’s convention” on Tuesday night, December 2, for that was the theme of the faculty party given by the Mundell teach- ers for all teachers of the Hobart Schools. Upon entering “Mundell Hotel,” appropriately decorated with ad- vertising posters, guests registered with their individual products. With Mr. Moss as master of cer- emonies, a regular convention pro- cedure was followed with each salesman giving a “high-pressure” sales talk to put over his product. Proving most proficient at this were Miss Martindale, who presen- ted a speech in the most business- like manner; Miss Horne, most hu- morous; and Miss Murray, who had the most authentic information about her product. Mr. Humes, Mr. Prather, and Miss McKenna received honorable mention.

Joan Julian is “free lancing” these days. ... or had you heard? .... Yes, she and Johnnie have called it a day. We wonder whether Earle N. could get along without Lilly Al- ley? Mr.. Yunker is reported to be wearying of seeing Dolores B. and Paul Stephens passing notes in civ- ics class. What’s this brewing between Ray Ciszek and B. L. Ele? Let’s ask Earl U. whether or not he’s particularly interested in a girl with initials of L. A. who mov- ed to Hobart just this year. Did someone say, “Ain’t love grand?” Well, anyway, Larry Find- ley and Patty Moon seem to think so. Is this the real thing or mere in- fatuation between Emil Kasonovich and Juanita Hentschel? John Cicillian and Bette O’Don- nell are hitting it off nicely since the Traffic Squad skating party, according to our reliable grapevine. Nice going, John! Cleo Hineline has beerr ' bbserved paying a great deal of special at- tention to Betty M. Sopko. Likewise, B. Fritz and M. Shultz are devoting a great deal of time and attention to each other. Would you believe that Bobby Harris keeps those lovely waves in place by wearing a “stocking cap?” Elmer wants to keep Edith to himself by keeping their romance secret. It seems as if Bob Sizemore and Helen Maae Lennertz have found the “real thing.” Will wond- ers never cease? Jimmy Hitson has his eyes on a perky little Freshie. . . . namely, Vlaynee Granger. Bill and June just can’t remember that they’re “Big Kids” now. . they still act like babies in health class.

The artistic touches of Miss Has- pel’s students have made the Art Room’s decorations quite effective. On the windows facing the hall are designs in stained glass effect, achieved through the use of differ- ent colors of cellophane. In front of a shredded cellophane back- ground covering part of the black- board are the words “MERRY CHRISTMAS” in glitter letters. A scene of Bethlehem has angels hov- ering above singing “Joy to the World.” Most of the rooms have red and green crepe paper streamers or rough paper ropes strung from cor- ner to corner on or around the walls. Room 206 has cellophane rope extended from the ceiling to tire center of the room, where three tiny red cellophane wreaths meet. There are silver bells in the win- dows, evergreen boughs along the wall, and a lighted Chirstmas tree in the corner. Room 207 has red wreaths on the windows and in the center of the room. In the back is a lovely tree covered with angel hair, colored lights and gay ornaments. Crepe paper of red and green gathered in the middle encircle the world (globe). . . .

H. S. is to be installed. According to an announcement made last week, the P. A. system has been ordered, and the master panel now is under construction. The system consists of forty indiv- idual keys and one master key that can control all individual keys at once, or one singly, or any number desired. Thirty-two outlets are planned, with facilities for adding eight in- dividual keys later if desired. The master will be in Mr. Kendall’s of- fice, which can contact any room. Any room can reply to the master call simply by facing the speaker on the wall of each room and speak- ing into it. The power unit . . . i. e., the am- plifier and automatic record chang- er. .. . alreaety are the property of the school. The Board of Educa- tion has agreed to purchase an outlet for the Superintendent’s of- fice, and clubs ana classes are sub- scribing funds for the installation of individual outlets, the funds to cover the cost of the speaker and the wiring. Two organizations are considering paying for the master key. There will be outlets in the New Addition, Basement, Band Portable, •Gymnasium, Assembly, and in all rooms of the Central Building.

WAR THOUGHTS By Jack Stiles As we sit in our darkened classroom And discuss the problems of War, We wonder if Freedom and Liberty Will rule the U. S. any more. No doubt you and your family, As well as my friends and I, Have some loved relatives on Land, or Sea, or even in the sky. As you sit here and wonder if ever Your friends again you’ll see, You feel sure whatever haonens They are giving their happiness and lives For the love of their own country — You — and Me. GOOD OLE U. S. A.! I love the flag that flies so high As we see the soldiers marching by; Oh, I love the Red, White and Blue! And to it I’ll always be true. I don ' t give a darn If I have to live in a bam. . . There still won’t be a day When I won’t love the U. S. A. It’ll always be the same story About me loving Old Glory. Oh, the Japs think they’re smart, But we’ll tear them all apart. All Hitler wants to do is fight, And he always thinks he’s right; But you can give me the U. S. A. With the Red, White and Blue any- way! — By a 9-A Student Grace: I wonder why there are so many more auto wrecks than railway accidents? Jack: That’s easy. . . did you ever hear of the fireman hugging the en- gineer? Why did you break your engage- ment with that school teacher? I didn’t show up one night, and she wanted me to bring a written excuse signed by my mother. Boy, oh boy! We haven’t quite recovered from that close call and the resulting high blood pressure last Wednesday night at Merrill- ville. A double overtime. First of the year and we hope the last. All the boys and especially Ray Ciszek (catch this bouquet) finally woke up in time to salvage the game. A vacation looks mighty good to us from where we stand now. But we will probably be homesick for textbooks and dear teacher by the first of the year. If Santa is good to us and the lake freezes over so we can skate, we will try to bear up under the situation. Did you vote or did you vote? El- ection officials state that about sixty-five per cent of the student body cast ballots at the primary el- ections last Wednesday. Not bad, considering that such a percentage is higher than that during munici- pal elections in our city. It’s Trent Kostbade versus Gerald Rowley for mayor. Now for some highpowered campaign speeches before the gen- eral election some time in January. Study hall teachers have tighten- ed down on our pleasurable diver- sions so long enjoyed, but we did get more math problems solved than ever before in history. There has been a little letup after the first barrage of discipline. Takes a lot of work for dear teacher to check up on all of us in a big hall. Sometimes I think the teachers don’t like to work any more than we do. But I don’t mean that of any of my four teachers this sem- ester. They’re perfect. (Tact.) If all this hubub over elections of student officials and the initiation of some student government doesn’t result in some real participation of students in decisions regarding our school, we are going to lose our faith in teachers, administration and humanity in general. Or have we got sense enough to make wise decisions about our school: or, may- be, their school? Or is this anar- chy?

NEW TEACHER HIRED FOR REMEDIAL WORK At a meeting of the School Boar Monday night, December 15, th members decided to hire, in con junction with the Whiting school: Mr. N. A. Wickman to examin school children and to give ther remedial work in hearing an speech. This procedure is in ac cordance with a State law whic requires schools to conduct period ical speech and hearing tests fo students. The school is buying an audio meter to test pupils’ hearing. Thi machine gives off sounds at variou pitches. First tests are grou tests, followed by individual mach ine tests for those students whos hearing appears to be subnormal.

Alternate shots into the hoop found the score tied 7-7 at the end of the first period. Lightning speed and hard fight- ing brought the Brickies out in front with a sixteen-point attack on Edi- son, for a 23-14 count at halftime. Edison’s cagers were unable to check the brilliant display of of- fensive strategy shown by the Brickie quintet throughout the en- tire game. At the end of the three- quarter period, the score board showed a 33-17 lead for Hobart. Hobart opened the fourth quar- ter’s scoring, sinking two fielders in the- hoop in rapid succession, followed by a beautiful long shot right into the basket by Edison. Brickies, however, maintained their control of the game to find them- selves on the heavy end of a 43-23 margin at the final gun. Ritter, versatile center, was high point man for the Brickies, chalk- ing up four fielders and three chari- ty tosses, with Balitz and Rose as close runners-up, each sinking four field goals and one free throw. Pacing the Edison attack was Castaldi, with three baskets to his credit. This contest ended the Brickie competition until after the holidays, when they will again meet Gary Edison as their - first opponent in the Crown Point tourney, Friday night, January 2, at eight o’clock.

The Brickies played far below their usual performance and kept their undefeated record by only a two-point margin over the Pirates. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way, with Hobart holding an 11- 8 edge at the first quarter and a 12- 10 lead at the half. The third quarter saw much heated action, with Merrillville closing in on the Brickies to gain a 20-17 advantage in the final quar- ter. With but two minutes to play Zupko dropped in one of his famous long shots Wineinger made a char- ity toss in the last few seconds, ty- ing the score and sending the game into a second overtime. According to rules, the first team to gain two points during the sec- ond overtime is the victor. Sev- eral close shots by both sides sent the growing tension of the crowd into high pitch. Rose dribbled to- ward the basket, faked a shot and then passed to Ciszek, who put the ball through the hoop. Thus Ho- bart kept its undefeated season’s record, making it five wins and no losses.

Bob Nuzum, with three field goals to his credit, was high point man for the Brickies. Chesterton’s team might easily have been mistaken for a varsity outfit, boasting several six-footers. The Brickie Juniors came out from behind with some sharp-shoot- ing into the hoop during the last period, after Chesterton’s cagers had led most of the game. At the end of the first quarter Chesterton was leading 6-4, bring- ing the score to 9-4 at the half time, and to 12-10 aat the end of the third quarter. Then the Brick- ies got tough enough to close the last stanza at the 18-17 score. Taubert led the opposing team’s scoring list, collecting five field goals and two charity tosses.

VII HOBART, INDIANA, JANUARY 14, 1942 NO, 11 PRINCIPAL ADVISES PUPILS ON COURSES URGES JUNIORS, SENIORS TO STRESS PHYSICS, MATHEMATICS Mr. Kendall addressed in separate groups last week, members of the junior and senior classes, urging that they prepare themselves now to qualify for commissions and for other desirable phases of military service, into which most of the boys probably will be called before long. The high school curriculum is be- ing revised somewhat, placing new emphasis upon mathematics, the physical sciences, and physical edu- cation, Mr. Kendall explained. Ex- tensive and intensive training will be offered in these fields in Hobart High School, beginning next sem- ester. A full year’s course in phy- sics will be available during the next semester, with two hours de- voted daily to the class and with two credits offered instead of one at the end of the semester. Both boys and girls should in- clude in their course of study more mathematics and science than in ordinary peace times, Mr. Kendall (Continued on page 6) WHAT PART SHOULD 0 IN THE NATION In order that the schools of the city of Hobart might better serve the needs of the nation today, the School Board met with a faculty committee Monday night, December 5, to discuss defense measures that the school might adopt. Curriculum modifications under consideration might necessitate en- larging the high school teaching staff by one member in order to care for and to speed up the train- ing of citizens both for military activity and for civilian occupa- tions. High schools and colleges throughout the nation are revising their curricula toward increased technical, practical, and mathemat- ical training. In the face of the probabil ity that at least the boys of present junior or senior standing in the high school will see action in the war, it is the desire of educational administra- tors to improve the physical condi- tion of young citizens to the great- est extent possible. The group at Monday night’s meeting discussed raising the present two years’ phy- sical education requirements to four years for boys. More conditioning work in this field will be emphas- UR SCHOOL PLAY S DEFENSE PROGRAM? ized, with calisthenics replacing part of the directed play program now m effect. In regard to actual civilian de- fense activities in the school, the group discussed plans for black- outs and for air raid drills. Super- intendent Garver gave suggestions recommended by the United States Office of Civilian Defense and by John W. Studebaker, Commissioner Feder al Security Agency in Washington. These suggestions per- tained to incendiary precautions, planning for drills and air raids, preventive instructions, and first aid training. The school is plan- ning to follow these suggestions to the very best of its ability and to devise a defense program for the Hobart city schools which will op- erate at a maximum of effiiciency. To the question “Are we in dan- ger?” Superintendent Garver call- ed attention to the reply made to this query by the United States Of- nee of Civilian Defense: “We are not going to be caught napping again. . .... anywhere or anytime. We are not going to say again, ‘It can’t hap- pen here’.” HO-HI TEACHER HELPS DURING HOLIDAYS AT ARMY FORT; SAYS “MEN SEEM HAPPY” As a member of a women’s relief corps in the recreational depart- ment at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis during the recent school vacation, Miss Lola Stewart of the High School faculty obser- ved what she thinks is a remarkably high morale existent among the sol- diers there. “There seems to be a good under- standing of the soldiers on the part of the officers,” explained Miss Stewart, “and there is excellent re- sponse from the soldiers them- selves. During the time I was there I heard absolutely no mention of the war from the men stationed at the Fort. The Army men and boys teemed genuinely happy.” A friend of Miss Stewart has charge of the recreational work at the Fort during the evenings, and it was through this connection that she got the opportunity to do the work. Explaining the working arrange- ment, Miss Stewart said the work of the recreation department con- sists of information service to vis- itors, organizing games, helping the soldiers to select books, and helping with music and dances. A commis- sioned captain and lieutenant are in charge of the work during the day, and at night from six until nine o’clock a corps of voluntary women relief workers assumes the duties, still under the guidance of the two officers. Because of the unusually heavy visiting at the Fort, occasioned by the holiday season, Miss Stewart had little opportunity to assist in actual recreational planning. Her duties consisted almost entirely of working at an information desk, serving as a contact between the soldiers and their visiting parents and friends. HO HI BAND FOUNDER RETURNS FOR CONCERT William D. Revelli, founder of the Hobart High School Band and now a professor of wind instruments at the University of Michigan, visited in Hobart the weekend of December 20 and 21. He attended on Satur- day night the band’s annual Christ- mas party, which honored alumni in particular. At the party he showed several moving picture reels of the University of Michigan band as it performed during the re- cently-ended football season. Bob Sohn and Richard Worthington were among Ho-Hi alumni recog- nized in the pictures. On Sunday afternoon Mr. Revelli attended the Christmas Concert presented by the band. He acted, as guest conductor of one number, and he addressed to the audience a few words of appreciation for their cooperation in past years and for their warm receptions of him each time he returns to Hobart.

One of the things about school that deserves to be given more at- tention is motion pictures. Some teachers use these very desirable devices for supplementing their teaching. They are not only edu- cational but entertaining. They sugar coat a somewhat bitter pill once in a while. It is true that they are not sound pictures, so they com- pare very well with horse and bug- gy standards. Someone should start a crusade for a sound motion pic- ture machine. A little agitation might produce some . results. But on the way, a bouquet to teachers who already use the flickers. A red-hot Griffith five put the chill on a stone-cold Brickie quin- tet at Crown Point during the holi- day tourney. Some cheered and some didn’t after the Brickies were far behind and the cause was lost. It takes a “real” booster to cheer his team in winning AND losing. Anyone will cheer a winner. A true fan cheers a loser (and a good loser.) There is a rumor that a group of the stronger (?) sex of the FACUL- TY are practicing secretly for their game with the second team at the big Homecoming game on the night of January 21. Most of them have been turned out to pasture for so long that their wind is gone. No one should miss the parade of the ha«- beens on that night. A local “dirt thrower in the face” has donated his hearse for a “one way ride” for any or all who go to pieces like the famous one-hoss shay. Some peo- ple don’t know enough to lie down when they are dead. The school should do something to recognize the faithful attendance of those who never miss school. We are told that Hobart High has one of the poorest attendance records of any school in this area. School attendance is more important than one first realizes. It is an indica- tion of the attitude of a boy or girl to the most important job at hand Let ' s All Buy Defense Stamps! — that of getting a good education. It takes courage, purpose, and en- ergy to be in regular attendance. Not to be in attendance means one lacks those virtues. Thus he is cowardly, spineless, and weak. Take your choice! � Truth Telling — (Reflections that are honest, even if they hurt) — I like a teacher who gets discipline gracefully. The guy who invented final exams ranks with Dillinger, Hitler, and other pubilc enemies of that ilk. We should hear our band more often to really appreciate it as we should. How about ' some form of directed activity at the noon hour on these cold days? Idle hands and minds are the tools of Satan. Psst. Have you heard? A new matrimonial agency is operating in our midst. Mr. Kendall and Mr. Kurth are trying to marry off our dear coach and teacher with the curly hair and dimples. They are accepting applications now. Spin- ster teachers and senior girls need apply only if they can cook and we mean “cook.” POME A danca A data Rrnmnca Out lata; A classa A quizza No passa Gee whizza!

HO-HI LIFE Pag e Five pleasure of pedagogues Your inquiring reporter went on an “Information Please” tour in an effort to find out how the various faculty members spent their holi- day vacations. The results obtain- ed make up a nice variety. Relaxation apparently dominated over all other activities. Mr. Mor- land indulged in this favorite in- door sport at his home in Valpar- aiso, while Miss McMurfry went to Spurgeon, Mr. Kastner to Kendall- ville and Muncie, and Miss Winn to Lucerne. Miss Anderson chose He- bron, Miss Haspel favored Wash- ington, Illinois, and Indianapolis, and Miss Todd spent most of her time at home in Gary. Mr. Prather spent some time in Kokomo and also attended sessions of the American Historical Associa- tion at the Stevens Hotel in Chicago. On December 29 to 31 Miss Fried- rich attended sessions of the Am- erican Lirbarians’ Association at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Bell divided their time between Bluffton and Orleans, visiting relatives. Mr. Garver, Mr. Kendall, Mr. Bagshaw, and Mr. Martin spent their vacations right here in Hobart. Coach Moore returned early to Ho- bart, after visiting briefly in Ind- ianapolis and Westfield. Mr. and Mrs. Kurth enjoyed a visit with re- latives in Springfield, Ohio, after which they returned to Hobart in time for the holiday basketball tourney. Miss Fraling divided her time be- tween Indianapolis and Kokomo, while Miss Holman visited in the home of her aunt in Freelandville, and Miss Risk spent the vacation in Muncie.

MacArthur,” stated Mr. Elward, “our best sold- iers are those coming from high school and college athletic ranks.” Mr. Earl LeClair, toastmaster, in- troduced Coach Frank Kurth, who in turn introduced the following speakers: Mayor Rose, Supt. Gar- ver, Mr. Kendall, Coach Moore, Mr. Prather, and Martin Binder, presi- dent of the Jaycees. Coach Moore and Mi. Prather awarded major, minor, and mono- gram letters to members of their respective squads. Five special football awards, made possible by the Junior Cham- ber of Commerce through the Ath- letic Department, were presented to the following boys by Coach Kurth: Bill Truett — best defensive player, Jack Taylor — best blocker, Albert Kazlauski — recovered most fumbles, Ray Ciszek — best team spirit, and Lewis Rose — most valu- able player. The first four receiv- ed gold miniature footballs and Rose received the trophy. These selections were made by the team. The American Legion Auxiliary served dinner to approximately 150 people, who were seated at long tables appropriately decorated with miniature footballs. Music i during the evening was furnished by “Louie’s Hungry Seven.” Major letter winners in football were Jack Anderson, Ray Ciszek, Wiillard Drummond, Larry Find- ley, Bob Hill, Wilbur Howell, Al- bert Kazlauski, Jack Murray, Lewis Rose, Bill Shearer, Paul Stephens, Jack Taylor, and Bill Truett.

ROOMS OF CENTRAL HAVE NEW NUMBERS Tn order that room numbers throughout the Central Building will conform to those on the main floor, basement and upstairs rooms now have new numbers. There have been no changes on the main floor. All even-numbered rooms now are on the south side of the build- ing, while the odd-numbered rooms are on the north. Rooms in the New Addition have been numbered along with the others. The Recreation Room now is 101-103; the Commerce Room is 102; the Art Room is 104; Home Econ- omics, 105; Building Trades, 106; Check Room, 107; Print Shop, 108; Mechanical Drawing Room, 109, and General Shop, 110. Upstairs rooms are numbered correspondingly, be- ginning with 301, 302, etc. Miss Wagoner and her fifth grade pupils will move from the Roose- velt Building to Room 201. There appears on the door of each room now the room number and the daily schedule for that room for the new semester. FACULTY TO WELCOME NEW STAFF MEMBER ADDITION MAKES POSSIBLE MAJOR ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES To help the secondary school sys- tem of Hobart in taking care of the increased demands placed upon it by nation-wide defense and war- preparation measures, the School Board of Hobart has secured the services of an additional faculty member, Miss Gladys Ripley, for its high school teaching staff. fiss Ripley, who will come to Hobart from the Hartsburg (111.) Community High School, will teach mathematics and commerce. She received the bachelor of education degree from Illinois State Normal University. She has attended also Gregg College in Chicago and has practically completed work for an M. A. degree at the Colorado State College of Education at Greeley, Colorado. This staff increase makes possi- ble some major administrative changes in the high school, changes which have been under considera- tion for quite some while. Miss Mildred McKenna will be- come Dean of Girls and Director of Guidance. Although she will be relieved of a portion of her class- room instructional duties, she will continue to teach Latin. Her office will be established in the old typ- ing room, now numbered Room 308. where the school nurse and Mr. Wickham, who recently was added to the faculty for auditory testing, will have their headquarters. The addition of the new teacher will make possible the expansion of the Commerce Department, and Mr. Kastner will return to the Junior High faculty, where he will have full-time standing. The chairmanship of the freshman guidance program will go from Miss McKenna to Mr. Bell. Mr. Blue will transfer from the freshman to the senior guidance committee and will have direct charge of the seni- or home room. Miss Anderson will relinquish her Junior High School classes and will have full-time Senior High School faculty stand- ing.

Few people in this section of the country realize the danger that we all are in. We are inclined to be- lieve that we are thousands of miles from an ocean and therefore are out of danger of air raids. This, of course, is not true; with modern air- plane carriers it is not at all incon- ceivable that the enemy might in- vade this section. If enemy forces ever should es- tablish a fueling base, say, on a fro- zen lake in a desolated region of Canada, it would be comparatively simple for planes to reach Chicago and the Calumet District. Not only is this possible, but because of the situation here of the largest steel manufacturing plant in the world, such an event might be quite prob- able. We have been warned and in- structed on what to do in case of an air raid; it is up to us, now, to re- member to DO as we have been in- structed, and to see that others Five Reasons Why I Like My Girl By John Teschel 1.

However, we need not wait until we are attacked before doing our part for our country. There are various opportunities open for ev- eryone. Just recently this school opened a class for girls who are willing to do work in defense enter- prises. Since we are in school, we cannot go directly to the scene of fighting to help; but we can stay right here at school and help by making bandages for the wounded, by saving paper and bundling it up for the government, by studying subjects which will enable us to be fit for defense jobs after we are graduated, by avoiding spreading false propaganda, by buying defense stamps and bonds, and by keeping up the good morale of our friends or relatives in the Army, Navy, or Marines by sending them frequent- ly good books and magazines and cheerful letters to read. Let’s all do something to help! Caller: I’d like to see the judge, please. Maid: I’m sorry, sir, but he’s at dinner. Caller: But my mission is impor- tant. M°id: It can’t be helped, sir. His Honor is at steak. „ When you are now called on the green carpet” it is just that, for when we got back to school after vacation the first thing we spotted in our snooping was that new green floor in the principal’s office. It won’t bother me nor anyone else like me if the New Year’s resolu- tion we made about keeping our nose clean, ie., “staying out of trou- ble ’ to you dim wits, is religiously adhered to. Time will tell. That well-fed look was on the proud faces of about seventy-five boys who bent an elbow over well- filled plates at Legion Hall last week as guests of the Junior Cham- ber of Commerce. The occasion was the First Annual Gridiron Ban- quet. Leaning back in their chairs, they heard their praises sung by coaches and boosters; then they marched up to receive trophies, letters and awards earned in foot- ball and cross-country last fall. The final course was a swell talk by football coach Mai El ward of Pur- due University. � Social activities at the school have been at a low ebb for some time due to the fact that the Recre- ation Room in the new addition has been without heat.

HO-HI LIFE Page Three LIBRARIANS’ CLUB Further plans for a January party provided the chief topic of discus- sion at the regular meeting of the Librarians’ Club Monday, January 12, in Room 205. It was decided that, weather per- mitting, there will be an ice-skating party Thursday, January 22. If the weather is bad, a party teaching various kinds of card games will be held in the Roosevelt Gym. Miss Friedrich spoke to the group on etiquette for school functions and parties. The club recently donated ten dollars toward the cost of installing the new public address system. G. A. A. Committees for a party to be held in February were appointed at a G. A. A. meeting Thursday, Janu- ary 8. Betty Sopko gave a report on the number of points each girl has received for participating in various sports. At present the girls are engaged in basketball as their current activity. The season for this sport opened for them Monday, January 12. Due to the fact that the H-Men’s banquet was held Monday, Janu- ary 12, G. A. A. members postponed their skating party until Monday, January 26, when it will be held at the New Chicago rink. ART CLUB Since Jeannette Cronch, former president of the Art Club, is a Jan- uary graduate, members of the or- ganization met Thursday morning, January 15, and elected as her suc- cessor Marjorie Huff. Further business of the morning included discussions of plans for patterns and stage for the puppet show, which the group will present soon, and also plans for a trip to the Art Museum in Chicago. 4-H CLUB Every year the 4-H Club gives seals to each division that has com- pleted eighty-five percent or more of its work and has exhibited it at the county fair. This year the local 4-H Club has received three gold seals, which were awarded to the baking divi- sion, the food preparation division, and the Willing Workers. Each of these divisions completed the re- quired work and had exhibitions at the county fair last August. “THERE’S LIFE IN THE OLD BOYS YET” Coach Donald Pound sent his Faculty All-Stars through their fi- nal scrimmage last Saturday, Janu- ary 17, in preparation for their big contest of the season tonight a- gainst the Brickie “B” team-men. Opposition in Saturday’s scrim- mage was furnished by a bunch of “high class scrubs” managed by Johnson and Sears. The Johnson and Sears team, although they are “tops” in their league, proved just another basketball team to the All- Stars as they romped over the neo- phytes by a 53 to 40 score. Kurth, Kendall and Prather proved to be the offensive stars of the scrimmage, while Pound, Bell, McClelland and Blue gave the Fa- culty a strong defensive stand. Golden, a star forward of the Facul- ty team, was ill and therefore un- able to play. Gail Sears led his team’s scoring with 15 points. P. S. — The Faculty All-Stars are asking the students to support them tonight in quest of their Tenth Championship and their 199th con- secutive victory. COLDS— AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM 1. Stay away from others when you have a cold. 2. Cover mouth when sneezing or coughing. 3. Report to parents the first sign of a cold. 4. Secure doctor’s advice rather than taking drugs and medicines suggested by friends. 5. Remain at home until fully re- covered from cold. 6. Blow nose gently to avoid for- cing infectious discharge into sin- uses. 7. Wash hands before handling food. 8. Have individual drinking glass- es. 9. Sleep alone.

The Squad, which still will be on Taftic duty, will take training in first aid, safety, and physical edu- cation. A soldier boy, upon being releas- ed from the draft, went immediate- ly to the home of his girl friend. Soldier: Hello, darling! Girl: Why, Cookie-e-e-e-e.

Have you seen Don Seymore walking hand in hand with Betty Sopko? Guess he put the snatch on her from Cleo Hineline. Watch out for Cleo, tho, Don. He’s burning plenty about this. Who has Ralph Spoor been es- corting consistently to a popular hangout lately? Is it Larson we saw there with him? “Dutch” Jordan has been missing his watch recently. He has to look for the time on the school clocks. Do you know anything about this, Peggy? Could it be Edith Bixby that Bud Baile is sighing for currently? . . . . Could be! FORMER JANITOR VISITS, SEES GREAT IMPROVEMENT John Hooseline, who was a jani- tor at Hobart High School for four- teen years until he received an in- jury almost two years ago, visited the school Tuesday, January 13. Mr. Hooseline said he noticed a great improvement has taken place n the school in the last year and a h lf. He was interested especially in the new inter-office communica- tion system. When he heard his voice called over this system, he could not imagine where the sound was coming from nor how.

Hobart lost no time in grabbing a 10-7 lead at the end of the first period and maintained control of the enure tilt, with a 17-9 lead at the half, a 25-17 margin at the three-quarter mark, and a final score board reading of 31-26, mak- ing this the ninth Brickie win out of eleven starts. The combined performances of Wineinger, Ciszek, and Zupko gave the Brickie quintet 27 of their mar- kers. Wineinger was high point man for Hobart, with nine points to his credit, with Ciszek and Zupko toss- ing in eight points each. Lowell’s honors were equally distributed among J. Carroll, Hall, and Fish, who scored six points each. Lowell’s reserves topped the Brickie “B” team. 34-29, in a whirl- wind battle which brought Lowell out in front in the last two stanzas of the tilt after Hobart had led 19-16 at the half. Bob Hayden of Lowell walked off with high honors, scoring 19 points, while Howell chalked up 8 points for the losers. Hobart (31) LoweU (36) - — Pg- Pt Pf Ciszek Ritter . Zupko Rose . .

The Brickies controlled the game from start to finish, while Medary- ville could toss in only six field goals and two free throws through- out the entire tilt, the fielders be- ing made mostly through long shots. After leading 6-2 at the quarter and 14-5 at the half, the Brickie squad gained considerable momen- tum to bolster a 15-4 attack in the third period, which in the final analysis found the Brickies holding the long end of a 32-14 margin.

Heretofore eight home rooms have contained some sophomores and some juniors. Now those classes will be divided among four rooms each, with the sopho- mores in Miss McMurtry’s room, 105; Miss Winn’s room, 205; Miss Risk’s room, 204, and Mr. Miller’s room, 307. Juniors will go to Miss Horne in Room 102; Mr. Moore, 104; Miss Fraling, 206, and Miss Holman, 310. This new system was devised for the purpose of making class acti- vities and meetings more conven- ient and more effective. JUNIORS DISPLAY NEW CLASS RINGS OF ' 43 Have you noticed the way the juniors have been carrying their hands around? Those hands really are not brok- en; their owners merely want peo- ple to notice their new class rings. As you probably have gathered by now, the juniors are quite proud of these rings, which are somewhat smaller and more ornate than were the class rings last year. Everyone was in a panic before Christmas because the rings had not yet arrived. However, on the last day of last year (1941, yes), many juniors received calls saying that the order was here. Many oth- er juniors heard the news via the grapevine system, so that most of the class members had their rings before returning to school from vacation. There are four different settings for the rings: ruby, onyx, blue spi- nel and all gold. An Englishman was visiting this country for the first time, and as he was driving along a highway he saw a sign “Drive Slow. This means you!” The Englishman stopped in sur- prise and exclaimed, “My word!

VII HOBART, INDIANA, FEBRUARY 3, 1942 GUIDANCE DIRECTOR OUTLINES PROGRAMS HOME ROOTPERIOD TO STRESS STUDENTS PARTICIPATION To launch an intensified student guidance program for the ensuing semester, Miss Mildred McKenna, newly-selected Director of Guid- ance, has outlined a daily program to be followed in each of the home rooms. Miss McKenna emphasized student participation and planning “A good home room program is one in which the leadership and activity are carried on by the pupil . . . . not the teacher.” she said Mondays are to be devoted to patriotic programs during the home room period or activities period from 8:35 until 9:15 in the morning. Tuesdays will be set aside for in- dividual guidance and counseling by home room teachers. Wednes- days and Fridays are days set aside for group guidance, while Thurs- day’s activities will consist of sale of defense stamps and committee meetings. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays Miss McKenna will visit various home rooms in order to be- come better acquainted with the students and to coordinate the gen- eral program. On Thursdays she will hold conferences in Room 308 with home room committees, and on Tuesdays of odd weeks she will talk to girls’ groups during the home room period. During the third and sixth per- iods daily Miss McKenna will be in the Junior High office for counsel- ing with Junior High students. SUPERINTENDENTS MEET, DISCUSS WAR PROBLEMS Mr. Garver attended a luncheon meeting, Tuesday, January 27, of the city school superintendents of t Lake County with County Superin- tendent Cecil Grayson.

REMEMBER- PURL HARDER! Ho-Hi’s daughters are discarding new modes of entertainment for good old-fashioned knitting needles. The objective? Helping the Red Cross. Mrs. Robert Henderson instruct- ed the class which met at 3:50 Thursday, January 29. Members of the class are beginning to knit six- inch squares to be used in making babv blankets for refugees. When the knitted square merits it, it is taken to the Red Cross rooms and examined for flaws or dropped stitches. If the square passes in- spection, yarn is furnished by the Red Cross for knitting sweaters. NOTICE There are 12 students in Hobart High who persist in their determin- ation to ruin our lawn by taking short cuts across it. Are we going to let 12 out of 890 students force Mr. Humes to build an ugly barbed wire fence, thereby forcing the public to believe that we are a bunch of cattle? Come on, you 12, have a little pride in your schoool and break this habit. Page Two HO-HI LIFE He Who Destroys A Good Book Kills Reason Itself” AREOPAGIT1CA Boom! Crash! Bang! — go the books in the lockers when the bell rings to go home for lunch and at night after school. Why do it? What can we do to prevent this? How can we take care of these books? Would you mark in your own books at home? And would you destroy the coverings of your own? Of course not! All these questions can be answered merely by discussing the question “How to take care of books.” In the first place, a book should be handled like a small child; that is, handled with care. Here are some “DO NOTS.” 1. Do not put pencils in the pock- ets of books or in between the cov- erings. 2. Do not mark books with ink or pencils. 3. Do not stuff books with paper. 4. Do not throw books in the lock- er or across the assembly floor. Throwing a book in the lockers destroys the bindings. The cover of a book is like the use of our skin; that is, it should be kept clean and not all scratched up. To make a book more attractive to the person reading it, the cover would be the first thing in view. If a book has been lost and you find it, do not pass it around through the assem- bly — hand it to the teacher in the same condition you received it, so if anything goes wrong you’re not to blame. If you really want to be in the “PASSING PARADE,” please, not for our sake nor the school’s, but for yourself, keep your school books in good condition.

S. manner. Promises, cigars, blarney and adjectives flew in all directions. Only one thing was missing and that was the baby kiss- ing. It was neither the time nor place and besides — the babies were too old! • The newly elected school city of- ficers (congratulations) are now faced with the problem of giving the students of our school the kind of student government we have been promised. We want action and we want it now! How about a for- um or town meeting to decide on the will of the common people? What say, Mr. Mayor? Anyone in his right mind will realize that we have a swell basket- ball team this year. Better than any other in our memory. They have lost three games and won four times that many. Come tourna- ment time and they will be hard to get along with. We may not win against the kind of competition we will go up against at East Chicago, but they will know we were there! Incidentally, why do we have to go all the way to East Chicago to play in a tournament when there is a sectional at Gary? There is something wrong somewhere. Most of our parents work in Gary. We are really a part of Gary. The city limits of the two cities are adjoinea. We have city bus service to within one block of Memorial Gym. Yet we must drive right past and on to East Chicago. It doesn’t make sense. There is something the mat- ter with an administration of our school that permits the I. H. S. A. A. to make arrangements like that. How about a protest? • Day Dreaming. . . . Spring isn’t far off. Fresh as an April shower — A1 Allis. Believe it or not — our new teacher is Miss Ripley. And have we class — a new dean of girls with auburn (or is it Vermillion) hair! And the freshies have a new home room advisor — Miss Haspel of the artistic temperament. We heard that “Boob” Shearer had a hard time taking it when he made or almost made the “H” Club. Nom- ination — the most likely to succeed athlete in school — Lewie Rooer. Got your date for the prom? Re- member, it has to be a junior or senior. Better begin horse trading.

Last Thursday a group head- ed by Jr. Lautzenhiser and Donald McCathren were operating a steam engine constructed by themselves out of glass tubes, etc. The exact pressure of the generated steam is as yet unknown. In another part of the Lab, Ed- mont Reinhold and his co-workers were generating approximately 120,000 volts of electricity.— (Note — no casualties as yet). First I got tonsilitis, followed by appendicitis and pneumonia. After that I got eripelas with hemochro- matosis. Following that I got poli- omyelitis, and finally I got neuritis. Then I ended up with hypodermics end inoculation. Yes sir, I thought I would never pull through that spelling test!

The Snooper has been spanked. But you can’t go around stepping on people’s toes and not expect someone to hit back once in a while. We have been informed through our private telegraph that the state- ment made last week, to the effect that “the administration should do something about” the assigning of Hobart to the East Chicago section- al rather than to the nearby Gary tourney, led to an explanation from the administration which, for our own good, we had better publish. It all amounts to this: The I. H. S. A. A. did not ask us where we want- ed to go. Nor does it do us much good to ask. So we’re willing to apologize in return for the flattering information that most everybody reads our drivel, even the higher- ups. « Then there is the story about newspapers all over the state carry- ing a report that a riot followed the game at Portage last week. The official, according to the pipe dream, had to be escorted home by state police. We were afraid that we had missed something. But the SNOOP- ER gets to the bottom of all the dirt. There is noothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, to the report. This from a reliable source. There was no riot, no state police, no argument even. The official talked too much, and a newspaper man put his dream down on pacer. Just an object les- son for the SNOOPER. � « � We can and we should do better. We mean this cutting across the lawn business and this paper in the halls business. We should have more pride in OUR school. We re- flect in our attitude and behavior the character of our surroundings. Remember that when you start to throw paper on the floor 01 start across the grass to save two steps.

The second stanza saw Wirt pick- ing up momentum to outscore the Hobart quintet 6-4, but the Brickies were in there fighting and thus maintained a 13-9 lead at the half. Wirt’s Lindstrom came out early in the third quartet with two swift fielders, tieing the score 13-13. Brickies pulled away, only to be deadlocked again at 20-20 late in the third period. Ritter and Zupko hit the hoop just before the quarter ended, to bring the squad out in front again 24-20. In the final stanza, both teams were hitting with regularity, but the Brickies managed to stave off the Troopers for a final 36-32 decis- ion.

Mayor Fred Rose offered to the hool last week a 50-gallon soda- id portable fire wagon salvaged om one of the city fire trucks. The d-and-chrome wagon has Decl- ined and painted and placed in e building under the care of the wly-organized fire department, aded by Frankie Martino. The wagon holds fifty gallons of ater and is comparable to fifty of e wall extinguishers in use in the likings, and it operates cn che me principal as the wall extin- khers. Pupils who attend the West Ches- r Township School in Chesterton ere in a mild flurry of excitement onday and Tuesday, February 9 id 10, when a committee of five gh school principals visited their stitution to evaluate it in. response the school’s request for admission the North Central Association of alleges and Secondary Schools. Mr. Kendall, one of the five prin pals who judged the school, was Chesterton from Sunday night itil Tuesday afternoon. While in hestorton the judging committee embers were guests of the school id community. They interviewed Iministrative officials of the school, culty members, representatives om the student body, and various tizens of Chesterton. Their report ill be sent to the Nortli Central ssociation, whose officials will vote r acceptance or rejection ot the iplication of West Chester High :hool for membership. Our own Hobart High School re- ived its membership in the N. C. in 1939. ‘Jfhst Jin (Eire Jfeurte (F)f Jilts Cmmtrgtren 11 However his military fame may excite the wonder of mankind, it is chiefly by his civil magistracy that Washington’s example will instruct men. Great generals have arisen in all ages of the world, and per- haps most in ages of despotism and darkness. In times of violence they rise high enough to direct the storm. Like meteors they glare on the black surface with a splendor that dazzles and terrifies. The fame of heroes is now growing vulgar; they multiply and thicken in their ranks almost as undistinguished as their own soldiers. But such a chief magistrate as Washington appears like the pole star in a clear sky, to direct the skillful statesman. His presidency Fingers as a great event and is dis- tinguished as the Age of Washing- ton. Washington’s death was announ- ced in the House of Representatives by John Marshall, then a member of Congress from Virginia. Both houses were immediately adjourn- ed. The whole country was filled with gloom, and men of all politi- cal parties and religions united with Congress to honor George Washington, who was “first in I the hearts of his countrymen.” MAYOR G. ROWLEY NAMES OFFICIALS TRENT KOSTBAOE RETS AP- POINTMENT AS CITY ATTORNEY “Mayor” Gerald Rowley called a meeting of the “City Council” Thursday noon, February 12, and made the following appointments to office: City Attorney: Trent Kostbade Bailifs: Jack Howey, Lowell En- slen City Engineer: John Fleck Chief of Police: Norman Christ- iansen Fire Chief: Frank Martino Park Board: Elsie Matovich, Chairman Ruth Balitz Eugene Truitt Board of Health: Harry Hartnup, Chairman George Zupko Neal Hahn Sewage Department: James Hen- derson, Chairman Jerry Reese Horace Titus School Board: Evelyn Adams, Chairman Kenneth Jordan Bill Rippe The city attorney will appoint a judge to be in charge of the school court and to hear all cases brought before it. The city engineer will work closely with Mr. Humes, school engineer. The chief of police, assisted by the Traffic Squad, will have as his responsibility all traffic during air raid drills. Paper collection for national de- fense and care of the grass will oc- cupy a great deal of the time of members of the Park Board. All first aid work will be in charge of the Board of Health, which body also will make posters for the halls. The Sewage Department’s duties will consist chiefly of inspection of the lockers. The School Board will work with Mr. Kendall and Mr. Garver on school administrative and policy problems of all types. Members of the Council suggest- ed an ordinance which would make provision to hire a bus to take stud- ents to the sectional basketball tournament at East Chicago. There will be action on this proposal at the next Council meeting.

The SNOOPER is slipping. Per- haps just a touch of spring fever. What with snows a-melting and the sun a-shining, we can’t keep our mind off the round of events to come. There is Junior Prom and Senior Edition; baccalaureate and commencement. Elation at the thought of successfully graduating and then regret and depression when one thinks of the finality of it all. We wonder how much war will change all the traditions and cust- oms surrounding graduation? Per- haps we should retrench. Instead of spending so much for favors we should give defense stamps. Maybe we should have our Prom here in Hobart because of the tire shortage. Yes, we know. We only graduate once, but we don’t want more than one war in our lifetime, and we esp- ecially don’t want to lose the one we have on our hands now. Snowballs flew thick and fast last week. As a matter of fact, they flew too fast at times. The SNOOP- IER fails to see any fun in a fellow smacking a girl with a snowball when she isn’t looking. We like to snowball like anybody else, but we don’t like to play “Jap” and sneak a Pearl Harbor over on some- one who can’t hit back and who isn’t looking when we let fly. Think it over. The political appointments of the successful Republican ticket at our recent election indicates a great deal of generosity, if not logic, on the part of the victors. The ap- pointment of the defeated candi- date for mayor as city judge is a real “beau geste.” We can now ex- pect some action in the matter of school government and general im- provement. Or can we, Mr. Mayor? Bend to and give out. DAY DREAMING: Snooper was informed by a bystander, watching “PLEASE EXCUSE JOHNNIE” AWFUL EYEFULS! The five glad lads of Ho-Hi met with a slight diffugelty when ole Doc Shultze told them that they were sad cases of phlyctenular con- junctivitis (eye trouble). The Doc brought the humor guys with the bad eyes into his office where they were given the tenth degree. Now the gokle yokles wear funny focals. If anyone sights Bob Sizemore, George Vossberg, Foxie Grinn, El- mer Ballantyne or Bill Montville floatin’ in and out of their classes wearing hectic lookin’ glasses, don’t laugh, ‘cause the silly solid senders have to wear these fiendish fenders in order to view new female gend- ers. , and listening to Lucille Sitzenstock struggling in a seizure of giggling, “Confidentially, she swallowed a feather.” . . .

SCHOOLS BECOME CENTERS FOR DRAFT REGISTRATION School was dismissed all day Monday, February 16, in the Junior and Senior High School in order that teachers from those grades could assist in the registration of men of draft age. Throughout Ind- iana the schools provided rooms for registration and teachers to do the work, under the direction of local Selective Service Boards. All faculty members of the Jun- ior and Senior High Schools helped in the task, working in shifts. The first shift served from 7:00 until 10:30 a. m. and again from 2:00 until 5:30 p. m. The second shift worked from 10:30 a. m. until 2:00 p. m. and again from 5:30 until 9:00 p. m. Central, Mundell and West Hobart Buildings tvere used as registra- tion places.

Tryouts for new members will be held at this week’s meeting. Mr. Blue: You ought to take chlo- roform. Mary Jane: Yeah? Who teaches it? FROM TrtE Sidelines What can we do in home rooms? . . . . That is the question of the day, a question heard over and over. But there’s plenty to do. For ex- ample, community singing, quiz programs, contests, meetings (class and committee), learn-to-dance ses- sions, good deed campaigns, and oh! so many other things that we could go on for several column inches here. But what can you do? That’s what you want to know. Would you like to know what each of the classes is doing in its various home rooms? O. K., lend thy ear: First, those pepful greenhorns, the freshmen, are adhering closely to the guidance program outlined by Miss McKenna, Director of Guid- ance. The various rooms are using their own initiative in the planning of their activities. On Mondays, which is devoted to patriotic pro- grams, the freshmen have had group singing of patriotic songs, practice sessions in pledging alleg- iance to the Flag, study and discus- sion of the United States Flag Code, programs honoring national heroes, current events discussions, and oth- er similar activities. On Tuesdays, devoted to individual guidance, the time is given to the .formulating of each student’s educational plans for his four years of high school. For the group guidance days, Wednes- days and Fridays, the freshmen stress topics pertaining to health, civic education and vocational guid- ance. Thursdays, of course, are de- voted throughout the school to the sale of defense stamps and to home room committee meetings. Second, those not so green, the sophomores, are just getting under way with their guidance program. So far they have had one period de- voted to the singing of patriotic songs by the entire class, and some of the rooms have gone to the Rec- reation Room for instruction in so- cial dancing. And as for the juniors, they have followed rather closely the sched- ules outlined above. There have been some quiz programs on topics pertaining to problems of high school students, such as etiquette, future occupations and plans, and organizations of their high school courses. They are planning, too, some musical programs for this week. (NOTE: Would you like to learn to dance? If so, we’d advise you to get your schedule changed so you could be in Mr. Moore’s ad- vantageous home room, replete with piano, nickleodeon, and all the trimmings!) Last, but not least, are this year’s graduates. The Senior Class has planned programs pertinent parti- cularly to their futures. Their pro- gram as outlined at present includes plans to have several outside speak- Had you heard that the Junior High girls, under the sponsorship of Miss Stewart, have organized a Junior High Girls’ Club? Election of officers was held Friday, Febru- ary 6, with the following results: President, Faith Grabill; vice-pres- ident, Sue Stonebraker; secretary, Patricia Katis; treasurer, Doris Beerbower. On Wednesday, Febru- ary 25, the newly-elected officers will be guests at the annual Senior High Girls’ Club Mother’s Party. Our Junior High students have gone in for debating in a big way! Mr. Morland’s home room students recently debated the question, “Re- solved: That Gibralter is More Im- portant to the Allies than Singa- pore.” The affirmative side, com- posed of Jack Holeman, James Mc- Luckie, Jack Cuthbert and Eleanor Ledyard, proved most proficient, according to the judge, Mr. Miller. Sam Van Scoy, Bruce Scott, John Bulza, and Bob Griffin composed the losing negative team. The Junior High Math Club en- joyed a Valentine Dance Thursday, February 12, in the Recreatson Room. A valentine exchange was held also. FACULTY WOMEN RELAX, ENJOY DINNER-BRIDGE Bridge and pinochle were the chief diversions following a dinner given for women faculty members of the Hobart schools Thursday, Februarv 5, at Lamson’s Cafe in Crown Point. Hostesses were the Misses Martindale, Home, Holman, Strom and McMurtry. Miss Stewart and Miss Scott won first and second nrizes respectively in bridge, and Miss Jean Thomp- son received the award for high sc ' Te in pinochle. A valentine motif prevailed in the decorations. Approximately thirty women of the faculty attend- ed the party. ers who will give them information and advice regarding various spec- ialized vocations. They have also made plans for talks about various available scholarships. There are two teams in the Assembly, the Patriots and the Defenders, who are having a contest in buying defense stamps. The losers at the end of the semester must provide some kind of treat for the winners. Have you gleaned herefrom any ideas for your own programs? We hope so; but, if not, we’ll report again from time to time, and per- haps you’ll hit on something before we have finished. HO-HI LIFE Page Five A contributed feature by Harry Hartnup Our Parade of Bands begins with Glenn Miller’s orchestra, which was chosen recently as “the best sweet band, in the land.” Immediately after his graduation from the University of Colorado, Glenn began his musical career as featured trombonist with Ben Pol- lock’s great band. Two years ago, after having played with several other “name” bands, he organized a band of his own. Success came immediately. His first big break was a four-week engagement at Frank Dailey’s Meadowbrook in New Jersey. This was followed by an engagement at the Glenn Island Casino. Last year the orchestra appeared in a movie, “Sun Valley Serenade,” in which they first played their hit tune, “Chatanooga Choo Choo.” Re- cently the band received an award upon the sale of the one millionth recording of this song. Glenn uses his own composition, “Moonlight Serenade,” as the theme song for his organization. Three nights weekly the group presents a commercial program over the CBS network, and on Saturday it presents a full-hour program, “Sunset Serenade.” Recently the boys completed a long and success- ful engagement at the Pennsyl- vania Hotel in New York City, and at present they are on tour. The personnel of the outfit is as follows Bobby Hackett, John Best, Billy May and Dale McMickle. trumpets; Jimmy Priddy, Paul Tan- ner and Frank D’Annolfo, trom- bones; Maurice Purtill, drums; Doc Goldberg, bass; Bill Conway, guitar; Chalmers MacGregor, piano; Skip- py Martin, A1 Klink, W il 1 i e Schwartz, Ernie Caceres, Gordon Beneke, saxophones; The Modern- aires, Marion Hutton and Ray Eber- les, vocals; and Glenn Miller, trom- bone, front and arranger.

A toy-loan center is about to be started in Ho-Hi by the Hi-Y Club and the S. O. O. T. G. Club, under the supervision of their respective sponsors, Mr. Morland and Miss Carter. This worthy project, which is to be operated on the same principle as a book lending library, is being undertaken in order that toys might be placed in the hands of children who would not have access to them otherwise. How’s about looking around your home for toys, broken or otherwise, and bringing them in at a time to be designated later? The toy-loan center, which is to be open one day a week, will have its headquarters in Central Build- ing, although no specific room has been named as yet.

Bov and girls throughout America are seriously thinking about ways that they can help speed their coun- try to victory in this great war. Many have written the Youth Divi- sion of the Office of Civilian De- fense at Washington with suggest- ions for new, patriotic organiza- tions. “The best advice I can give young people below military age who want to serve their country,” explained Samuel Ericson, Coordinator of Junior Defense Programs for the Division of Youth Activities of the Office of Civilian Defense, “is to see members of the Defense C ouncil in your own town. Instead of spend- ing time thinking about organizing still other groups for defense — groups which might duplicate the work of others — , why not use the organization already officially set up?” Mr. Ericsson pointed out that “Youth Defense Auxiliaries’ ' are now being organized in connection with Civilian Defense Councils in towns, cities, and states. Composed of representatives of local youth or- ganizations, Youth Defense Auxil- iaries will be very glad to receive any new ideas from patriotic girls and beys. Your school teachers and princi- pal no doubt can offer suggestions on how you can do the most for Na- tional Defense, it was explained. “The spirit of sincere patriotism that American girls and boys are showing is inspiring,” Mr. Ericson said. “We appreciate the loyalty Friday evening, February 20, Coach Frank Kurth and his Brickie cagers closed out their regular sea- son’s schedule with flying colors as they downed a keen and bitter rival in Bulldogs of Crown Point by a score of 45 to 34 to place their sea- son’s record at the top of those im- mortal seasons completed in the school’s hardwood history. The triumph gave the Brickies a 1941-42 campaign record of 17 wins and 4 defeats, one of the losses com- ing in the holiday tourney from Gnffith whon hc rickie venged of every young person in our great country for this fight against the evil forces opposing us across the oceans.” In Hobart the Civilian Defense Council consists of the following wardens and their respective divis- ions: Byron Findling, defense bonds; Don Purdy, salvage; Mrs. Victor Helstrom, consumer rela- tions; Don Purdy, messenger; Har- lie Garver, physical fitness; frank Traeger, drivers’ corps; Mrs. Victor Helstrom, housing; Frank Traeger, auxiliary police; Fred Rose, Sr., Auxiliary firemen; Howard Yunk- er. Red Cross; Frank Traeger, air raid; George Flagler, service men’s center; Brad Woodward, public works; Dr. L. M. Friedrich, health; S. A. Burns, utilities; Frank Traeg- er, warden service; Dr. Miller, chief emergency medical officer. In addition to the above wardens, there are on the Council the five city councilmen, who are Frank R Ferguson, John G. Fleck, Harold L. Shannon, Eldo Bell and Edward E. Reichert. Mayor Fred Rose Jr., told the Ho- Hi Life that there are several ways in which high school students might be of service to the Hobart Civilian Defense Council. There is particu- lar need of messengers, he said, and there is a great deal of work in con- nection with the collecting of mat- erials which students could handle. Students interested in serving in this way should consult one of their teachers or their principal about the work. in their second last game of the season by a 39-32 count. (For story see Page 4). Displaying perhaps their best scoring punch of the season against major opposition, the Brickies came from behind a 15 to 19 half-time score to roll up the points on the Hub City floor in the second half with sharp shooting regularity. Geo. Zupko started the victory march with his driving shots, and team- mate Floyd Wineinger responded with his best performance of the (Continued on naerc r.l BRICKIES WILL PLAY LOWELL IN LEADOFF GAME OF SECTIONALS NO SCHOOL FRIDAY IF ALL SEASON TICKETS ABE SOLD Mr. Kendall announced Monday morning, February 23, that tickets for the sectional basketball tourney to be held at East Chicago are sell- ing fast and that the demand is likely to exceed the supply. Hobart was able to obtain ap- proximately 175 season tickets, ex- clusive of those for the team mem- bers. If this entire number is sold, school will be dismissed all day Friday; otherwise, only students holding season tickets will be dis- missed, Mr. Kendall said. Season tickets cost $1.65, includ- ing tax, and probably only the holders of these tickets will be able to gain admittance to the games, for it is extremely doubtful that any single session tickets will be available. Lowell’s Red Devils will be Ho- bart’s first tournament opposition this year, the Brickies having drawn an upper bracket position for the Sectional Tourney. The Brickies will play their first game Thursday night at 7 o’clock and, if victorious, will next meet Hammond High School, who drew a bye for the first round, on Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The schedule of pairings for the East Chicago Sectional is as follows: Thursday Night No. 1 — 7:00 — -Hobart vs. Lowell. No. 2 — 8:00 — Roosevelt vs. East Gary. No. 3 — 9:00 — Wheeler vs. Washington.

Jurgens was born in Sacramento, California, and was christened Diet- rich Heinrich Jurgens, Jr. He is un- married and lives with his motlher. He formed his first band in 1928, playing trumpet with the outfit un- til a lip injury forced him to give up his playing. This band was known as the “Seven Syncopaters,” and its first engagement was at the Travelers’ Hotel in Sacramento. In 1933 Dick got his real break when his orchestra was signed to play at Lake Tahoe for the entire summer. The present Jurgens crew num- bers fourteen members. A popular feature of the band is the playing of the celeste. The Jurgens versions of such songs as “My Last Good- bye,” “If I Knew Then,” “Good- night, Mother,” and, more recently, “Elmer’s Tune” have sent the or- ganization skyrocketing to rame. The theme song, “Day Dreams Come True at Night,” is a Jurgens composition. During the last five years the band has spent most of its time at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, from where its MBS broadcasts are emanating at present. The personnel consists of Harold Winder, trombone; Ed Kuehler, Joe Contursi and Lou Vacca, trumpets; Frank Sehrer, drums; Swede Lund, bass; Floyd Adams, saxophone; Carl Brandt, saxophone and violin; Charlie Hands and Bob Lee, sax and clarinet; Lou Quadling, piano and celeste; Harry Cool and Buddy Mor- eno, vocals; and Dick Jurgens, trumpet, arranger and front. Mr. and Miss America. . . . envied by all other countries in the world. ... so charming and so polite to ev- eryone! Well, let’s get an inside story on American Etiquette from our ex- pert, Mr. Manner Mouse. Mr. America whizzes to Miss Am- erica’s house. He sits relaxed in his car and toots the horn. She rushes out, opens the door, and throws herself in the front seat. They, Mr. and Miss America, go, of course, to the local sweet shop. Mr. A. opens the door of the shop and stalks in, while Miss A. follows meekly. He exchanges greetings with his many boyfriends, unfam- iliar to her. If by any chance one of them might inquire, “Who’s the skirt?”, he’ll say, “Oh, my girl” and continue with the conversation, ig- noring introductions. As they return home, Miss A. hops out of the car and says, “Thanks for the swell time. It was fun,” and runs into the house to telephone her girl friend and tell her what a “perfectly swell kid Mr. America is.” Poor girl! She isn’t particularly gullible. . . . it’s all she has ever “STARS STILL SHINE” In this delightful story, “Stars Still Shine,” Lida Larrimore brings fresh insight to an ever-interesting problem of love between boy and girl in dissimilar walks of life. Her sympathy extends to both in a warm and understanding tale of young love. Ever since the day that Don Al- exander had walked through the door of her father’s florist shop and back into her life — as suddenly as he had gone out of it six months be- fore — Kathleen was convinced that her dream was coming true, just as she had hoped and planned, com- plete and perfect in every detail. There was no doubt that Don loved her, but the Alexanders, with their country estate, their impressive town house, their unquestioned so- cial position, were very different from Kathie’s happy-go-lucky fam- ily, the children, the casual living, the confusion and, above all, the fun. Don said it didn’t matter, but Kathie wasn’t so sure. Kathie was disturbed by thoughts of beautiful Joan Thayer, one of Don’s set, and there were times when Don was ad- mittedly jealous of big, dependable Joe Regan, who worked for Kath- leen’s father and who had known her for years. Kathleen yearned for a mixture of things — space and privacy, can- dlelight, thin china and fine linen, the feeling of breathless delight she had had when she watched the jnoon flowers open or had looked at the college chapel or had seen waves breaking on the beach. For Kathleen was in love. You will enjoy reading this book, and eager Kathleen Miller will taxe a place in your hearts as she has in the hearts of thousands of readers.

Pep sessions add something to the spirit of the school, and we vote for more of them. Nothing short of disaster will keep us away from the tourney next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We’re extracting a buck sixty five (fif teen cents of it to jinx a Jap) from our moth-inhabited purse and investing in the hope of seeing fif- teen hair-raising games of basket- ball. Of course we are backing the Brickies to go far in the final round- up. They are just hitting their stride now. See you at Roosevelt Gym. That is, Roosevelt of East Chicago. The public address system is past the rumor stage. Of haven’t you been pleasantly disturbed and dis- tracted in class by a couple of Building Trades boys who provided entertainment for a while as they installed a speaker? When the sys- tem is complete, we vote for a big dedication ceremony. A program of music, speeches and demonstration would be appropriate on that occa- sion. Maybe a one-act radio drama and some music by band, chorus and glee club would be possible. ♦ One more week and February is gone. Come next Sunday and March is with us. Spring just can’t be far away. Then it’s track and golf, slow walks home by the long way around with you know who. Study will be harder to get to, and the germs of spring fever will stag- nate our otherwise turbulent blood.

SPONSORS ESSAY CONTEST FOR STUDENTS “Qualities of a Good American Citizen” is the title of the essays which both Junior and Senior High School students are writing for a contest sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. Two prizes will be awarded in each group (Junior and Senior High School), the first prize being in each case $1.50 in defense stamps and the second prize being $1.00 in defense stamps. The essays are being written by every student on one day set aside by each home room for that pur- pose . Open discussion of the topic during one home room period is preceding the actual writing. All essays, which are not to be more than 500 words long, will be read by a committee in each home room. These committee members will se- lect the outstanding essays from the room and will read them to the home room group, whose members will vote upon the best one. These selected essays will be turned in to the American Legion Auxiliary Thursday, March 6. Mrs. C. G. Bjorndahl is chairman for the contest. TEACHERS REGISTER 605 MEN At the close of Registration Day, Mondav, February 16, tabulations showed that 605 men had signed up with the faculty member registrars and their assistants. Mr. M. G. Montgomery, chairman of Lake County Draft Board Num- ber 7, sent a letter expressing the Board’s appreciation for “the un- selfish cooperation” of Mr. Garver and his staff. PUBLIC DEMAND IS GREAT FOR MR. GARVER’S TALKS Superintendent Harlie Garver certainly is finding himself greatly in demand these days as a speaker at practically all kinds of functions, school, civic, and church. At the fathers’ and sons’ banquet of the Christian Church Tuesday evening, February 17, Mr. Garver served as toastmaster. Last night, February 23, he served double duty by addressing both the West Ho- bart P. T. A. group and the Hobart Junior Chamber of Commerce. His topic for the latter speeches was “Schools and the War,” in which discussions he emphasized the ways in which the schools throughout the country can help to win the war. He mentioned in par- ticular the conservation of mater- ials, the sale of defense stamps and bonds, and caution in regard to air raid drills. He stressed also the wartime educational services the school can render in regard to building public morale and devel- oping the right kind of attitudes toward various war efforts.

But did you know that, in addi- tion to turning in an excellent per- formance in basketry, the boys have also crashed into the movies? Yes, ’tis true. Or have you al- ready seen their pictures on the screen at the Art Theatre? CRAZY CAGERY Did you ever hear of a hardwood session in which the home team didn’t score a single fielder in the first half of the contest? Did you ever hear of a hardwood session in which the opposition couldn’t find the hoop for a field goal in the last half of the tilt? Such was the situation when the Junior High Brickies clashed with the Junior High Panthers of Grif- fith on Tuesday, February 17, on the Panthers’ court. Griffith led the game all the way, with a halftime score of 17-2, and a final 18-11 victory for the Panth- ers. This game climaxed the basket- ball season for the Hobart Junior High cagers. HOBART vs. VALPO Ho-Hi’s freshman basketball team bowed to Valparaiso’s freshmen 13-15 in a hot battle in the Roose- velt Gym Saturday morning, Feb- ruary 14. The Brickie sophomores, however, outshot the Valpo second- year men by a score of 40 to 28 the same morning. Hobart’s high-flying Brickie cag- ers smashed the Griffith quintet Wednesday night, February 18, in the Roosevelt Gym for a 39-32 vic- tory which regained for them the Victory Ball which the Panthers had taken from them earlier in the season. Griffith opened the scoring, fol- lowed by a quick basket by Shear- er, which started the series of dead- locks witnessed throughout the en- tire tilt. The end of the first quar- ter, however, found Hobart out in front 9-5. Shearer sparked the Hobart at- tack in the first half of the contest. Griffith scored two fast fielders, fol- lowing a bucket by Shearer, tieing the score at 11-11. Hobart broke away from the deadlock with a bas- ket and a free toss, only to have Griffith score likewise, retieing the score at 14-14. Griffith picked up speed in the latter part of the quar- ter to bolster a 23-18 lead at the half. The third quarter was a sizzling nip and tuck battle, both teams hit- ting the hoop witth regularity. At the three-quarter mark, Hobart had a one point edge over Griffith, the score being 29-28. The Brickies outscored the Pan- thers 10-4 in the final period, Ritter and Zupko being the “big guns.” When the final gun sounded, Hobart Compliments of Thompson ' s Beauty and Barber Shop was on the long end of a 39-32 mar- gin. High point honors for Hobart were equally divided between Shearer and Ritter, each tossing in 13 points. H. Mack paced the Pan- thers’ attack with 10 points. In a preliminary match the Grif- fith reserves handed the Brickie “B” team a 36-30 defeat, after no little struggle. Moll and Murray each tossed in 11 points.

According to recent figures on the selling of defense stamps in the Hobart schools, the interest of the students has been lagging in this phase of war work. Only $200.65 worth of defense stamps were sold in the Hobart schools last week, whereas for a while the schools were selling more than sixty dollars’ worth more than the above figure. Come on, students! Let’s buy more defense stamps and help to do our small part in “Keeping ’Em Flying!’’ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR.

The sound that greeted his ears was that of childish voices singing “Happy Birthday To You.” The voices? First and second grade pupils at the Roosevelt Build- ing, corralled to the speaker by Mrs. Ashley, their teacher and principal, for the purpose of extending best wishes tto their Superintendent of Schools on his birthday.

These posters are the work of Miss Holman’s home room stud- ents, who are doing their bit for national defense.

Almost every home room devotes its time to national defense in one way or another. . . . patriotic pro- grams, current events on war news, campaigns for collection of mater- ials, sale of stamps, etc. Keep up the good work. . . . and let’s do a great deal more as we go along!

That’s what the East Chicago sec- tional tourney was from start to fi- nish. The Roosevelt Rough Riders of East Chicago finally emerged with championship honors, after hard tilts with East Gary Edison, Washington, Hammond and Ham- mond Clark. In the opening contest of the tour- ney, Hobart’s Brickies nosed out Lowell’s Red Devils by a 44-40 count in one of the wildest final quarter finishes of the tourney. The Brickies being behind ten points as the final quarter opened, 26-36, Floyd Wineinger took it upon himself to start a final drive, which netted 20 points. Wineinger tossed in four fielders in the quarter, with Ritter Rose, Zupko and Shearer supplying the remainder of the twenty-point total. Four points was the extent of Lowell’s scoring for this last period, with the result that the Brickies pulled the game out of the fire and emerged for se- cond round play. In the second tilt, on Friday afternoon, the Brickies found them- selves “behind the eight ball’ as Hammond High’s Wildcats hit a hot streak and took the Brickie five into camp by way of a 47-33 final score. As the score indicates, it was with no little struggle that the Hammond squad came out ahead. The Wildcats led 12-7 at the quar- ter and 28-17 at halftime. In the third period the Brickies outscored the Wildcats 10-7, cutting the Ham- mond lead to 35-28 at the close of the third period. ' In the final quarter the Brickies looked as though they might tame down the Wildcats, as they closed the margin to 5 points with six minutes to go, 35-30. Hammond called time out at this point, and when play was contin- ued the Wildcats went into a stall- ing offensive. This forced the Brick- ies out of their zone defense, which had just begun to function well at the half. Hammond’s stalling called for a “man-to-man” type of game. In attempting to tie up the game, (Continued on page 4) i WITUTVIE- THURSDAY WILL MARK MID-WINTER CONCERT Featured soloists in the fifteenth annual mid-winter concert by the cornetists, Robert Baile, James Grinn and George Vossberg.

Plans for Central and Roosevelt Buildings are practically complete, although there are a few points which must await action from Mun- dell and West Hobart Schools to as- sure the maximum effectiveness. Traffic Squad members will be called upon for some rather stren- uous duty during these drills. The local police force will assist, of course, and high school students will help with the primary children. All school principals met last night, together with a representa- tive from each of the parochial schools, to discuss the general or- ganization of the drills, which will be conducted under the authority of the mayor and the civilian de- fense council. . As soon as plans have been agreed upon and accepted, they will be announced in this paper. ALL-STARS SETTING STAGE TO SERVE SIZZLING SESSION Students! Tomorrow night is the big night for the .much-talked-of All Star game between the Hobart All Stars and the East Gary net squad. The tilt promises to be a sizzling affair from start to finish, with the Hobart boys out seeking revenge for the 45-32 defeat handed the Brickie squad by East Gary on Wed- nesday night, February 6, in the Roosevelt Gym. At a meeting of the Hobart boys last Monday night, Gene Lundahl was elected as their captain. Mark Scharbach, who received the great- est number of votes, will be unable to play tomorrow night, due to an injury received at practice.

INDUSTRIAL CLUB Twenty members of the Indust- rial Club worked on their individ- ual hobbies in the Shop Wednesday night, February 25, from 6:30 until 9:00 o’clock. G. A. A. “Shall we paint this red or blue?” “Give me the hammer a minute, will you?” “This rope isn’t long enough.” These were some of the things heard at the G. A. A. Make-It- Yourself Party Monday, February 23, when members showed the world that boys aren’t the only creatures on earth ' who are handy with tools. Working on the theory that most girls have an inherent love of hand- icraft, the G. A. A. members decid- ed to give expression to their in- clinations by making recreational equipment, which will be used in the next sports season. They made equipment for new games, includ- ing box hockey, ten pins, ring toss and baseball darts. Each group of girls gave a demonstration of the equipment it had made. Before the work session the club enjoyed a pot luck supper in the upper hall of the Gym. CINEMA-RADIO CLUB Slides on the lives of Washington Irving and Robert Louis Stevenson were topics for the demonstration of the picture machine given by Miss Anderson at the meeting of the Cinema-Radio Club Thursday, February 26. Saturday, April 11, is the date set for the field trip to Gary for the purpose of seeing a movie and vis- iting the WIND broadcasting sta- tion. New members taken into the club at the beginning of the sem- ester are Kenneth Kasch, Bette O’Donnell, Robert Otto, Bob Rad- olovich. Bob Schavey and Walter Zander. GIRLS’ CLUB Mothers and their guests, teach- ers, and girls from various clubs of Ho-Hi gathered in the basement of the New Addition Wednesday night, February 25, for an evening of en- tertainment provided by the Girls’ Club members at their Annual Mo- thers’ Party. With prevailing patriotic motif, the room had been converted into an air raid shelter, cleverly decora- ted with flags, posters, and other nationalistic touches. Following an invocation by Alli- son Watson, Olive Eoudrot, presi- dent of the Girls’ Club, gave an ex- planation of the theme of the party. Marlin Pope extended a welcome to At the Home Talent Show held at the Wheeler High School Tuesday night, February 24, the Girls’ Oct- ette sang the selection “Siboney.” all present, and Naomi Grabill, president of the Junior High Girls’ Club, responded on behalf of the guests. A pageant entitled “I Am An Am- erican” was presented by Helen Walter, Joen Niksch, Frances Flem- ing, Patty Roper and Ethel Govert, after which the audience arose and joined together in a salute to the flag. After some musical numbers by Mrs. Violet Johnson, Bernadette Griffin and Ruth Balitz, Dorothy Oakley introduced the guest speak- er of the evening, Mrs. F. V. Young of Crown Point, who spoke on “Probelms of Mothers and Daugh- ters.” After a “Dr. I.

TRAFFIC SQUAD New belts for members of the Traffic Squad are now on order and should appear on the boys soon. LIBRARIANS’ CLUB To make plans for a March party, members of the Librarians’ Club met Monday, February 23, in Room 312. Committees chosen to plan the party are as follows: Time, place and reception: Georgia Mae Smith, Vivian Belkow and Audrey And- rews; entertainment: Donna Kew- ley, Mary Lou Baer and Lois Mum- mery; refreshments: Dorothy Arn- old, Betty Wync oop and Cecil Wun- schel; chaperons and invitations: Georgia King, Jean Gordon and Avis Truitt; decorations: Shirley Jarnagin, Betty Mae Schane and Elizabeth Rampke; clean-up: Eil- een Storey, Carol Schavey and Marie Henschel. STUDENT COUNCIL At a meeting Thursday, February 26, of the Student Government, held for a hearing of reports from department heads, Trent Kostbade, city attorney, announced that a court session will be held in the Assembly during home room period for persons having too many con- duct slips. Fire Chief Frank Martino report- ed that the newly-acquired fire truck soon will be ready for use. Members of the student govern- ing body are making plans to visit a session of the City Council in the near future. The prize story of the season is about a newly-elected city official of the Hobart High School City who behaved in a manner unbecoming one of his station. It seems the ty- coon in question couldn ' t keep his feet on the ground, so he leaped into air and grasped a certain bar that has, in the past, been taking an awful beating from athletic young men. It just so happened that some scheming villain had taped a row of thumb tacks on the top of the bar. Now the evidence of his indiscretion is in the palm of his hand. MoraT: keep your feet on the ground. A new regulation passed last year by the Board of Education prohib- its any but Hobart High School jun- iors and seniors to attend the Jun- ior Prom in May. With many of our boy friends and special dolls thus excluded, a real problem in match- ing what is left results. To remedy this a date bureau under the direc- tion of Tommy “Dorothy Dix” Moore will begin operation at once. Hope the director has a very suc- cessful season. We want a “best yet” prom. � If the interest and enthusiasm for the guidance activities we have been in the last month holds out, we should have some dandy clubs to belong to, some real idea of what we want to do, and some feeling of assurance that we are headed in the right direction. Sometimes guidance seems like busy work, and sometimes it comes the closest to answering the questions buzzing in- side our cranial sanctum about some serious problems. At any rate, just now, we are doing something. And it is a lot of fun at times. ♦ Day Dreaming: Win or lose, it’s orchids to Ho-Hi’s finest basketball team in history. . . .

Among the hobbies introduced at this time wer e such things as air- plane modeling, stamp collecting, post cards, match box covers and pictures of planes and guns. The club has twelve members up to date. Harold Reid, a 7B student, has entered Jr. High from Emerson, Gary. Maxene Richmond has just ad- mitted that it is Max Watson for her and not Richard Wells. We wonder why Joy Green was so interested in having Betty Cope at the game last Tuesday night? Have you seen Kenneth Keller’s hair bow that he’s been wearing? He’s really quite fetching in it! Junior High Math Club members elected the following officers Thurs- day, February 26: Lila Spoor, presi- dent and secretary; David Sizemore, vice-president, and Betty Greenlee, treasurer. The odds seemed to be against Mr. Morland’s seventh grade home room cage team Tuesday night, February 24, when they were de- feated 33-2 by Miss Stewart’s home room in the Roosevelt Gym. Rea- son: Most of the boys from Miss Stewart’s room were from Coach Golden’s Jr. High Brickies — and eighth graders at that. Jr. High Girls are eagerly await- ing the All Girls’ Conference, which is to be held for both Junior and Senior High Girls sometime in March. At a meeting held Thurs- day morning during the home room period, the following girls were ap- pointed to be home room leaders: Carol Koostbade, Marybelle Mc- Lead, Alice Foreman, Norma Greenspan, and Phoebe Cooper.

SUMMARY OF RESERVE SEASON Coach Tommy Moore’s reserves checked in their net season with a total of thirteen wins and nine loss- es, most of the defeats being by close two or three point margins. “The competitioon the boys en- countered was good,” said Coach Moore, “and I am well satisfied with the showing the boys made in all the games. I am confident that this season’s hardwood experience has benefited the boys and prepared them for a sizzling season next year.” Coach Moore ' 1 made no predictions for next season, as he is not yet cer- tain as to the boys that will crash into the varsity.

The three short blasts followed by one long one will be the signal only in the Central Building, other build- ings having their own distinctive signals. School officials have given a great deal of time and consideration to the formulating of plans for the drills which will be held from time to time, and parents are urged to coo perate fully with the program as it has been organized. Announce- ment of this first drill has been made in order that the public may be prepared. Subsequent drills will not be preceded by any announce- ment. Officials have chosen various dis- persal points for the students, these points being located on the edge of the business district or at points only a few blocks from each school. All pupils will be dispersed except those from Hobart Township, who will be stationed in their buildings until picked up by the township buses. The object of dispersing pupils in this way is four-fold: (1.) to pro- vide points from which children can be picked up bv the city buses, (2) to provide points where pupils can be organized for safe conduct home, (3) to avoid the assembling of large numbers of pupils in one spot in case of actual raid, and (4) to pro- vide points from which pupils may be sent directly back to school in case of practice raids during the school day, where it is not desired to send pupils all the way home. Children have been assigned to dispersal points nearest their own homes. Disnersal points for the cen- tral district, including parochial schools, are the lot in the rear of the Unitarian Church, the lot adjoining the Nazarene Church, the east end of the parkway on West Third Street, the vacant area on the south side of Ridge Road beyond the Deep R : ver bridge, the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Cleveland Avenue, and the intersection of Linda Street and East Third Street, with the intersection of Ridge Road and Lake Park Avenue as a meeting place for high school pupils who ride the city buses to West Hobart. Mundell School will have as its dispersion points Delaware and Home Avenue (44th), Delaware near Ridge Road, California near Ridge Road, Washington and Home Avenue (44th), Home Avenue and Pennsylvania, First Street and Washington, and First Street and Pennsylvania. West Hobart will have stations at 38th and Kenwood, Parker and Road 6, and 39th and Montgomery. No high school students except those of the West Hobart area will be transported to their homes by buses, since the walking distance for others is not great in any „ case. West Hobart elementary pupils will walk home, also, for the walking distance for them is not great either. Other elementary pupils riding bus- es will be taken home. At each dispersal point there will be teachers and older students who have special duties. All pupils in the first three grades will be accom- panied by older children. Private cars driven by teachers will take all kindergarten children to their homes. Parents are urged not to go to the schools to pick up their children unless they are in the habit of do- ing so.

VARIETY PREVAILS IN BAND CONCERT AUDIENCE APPROVES NOVEL- TIES, SYMPHONIES ALIKE Ho-Hi’s National Championship High School Band presented its an- nual Mid- Winter Concert Thursday night, March 5. From the very first number play- ed, it became apparent that this was no ordinary high school band pro- gram. The selection of numbers and in most cases the rendition were quite professional. The contrasting loud and soft passages and the tem- po changes of the opening number, Massenet’s Overture to “Phedre,” clearly showed that the band was really interpreting music and not just playing notes. Hanson’s “Nordic Symphony” al- so received a fine reading, with in- dividual first chair players display- ing outstandin g musicianship Among these fine performers were Bob Balitz and Don McCathren, Na- dine Eaton and Jackie Stech, Ruth Balitz, Bob Vinzant, and Frank Pap- ke. The two novelty numbers, “Pop! Goes the Weasel” and “Three Blind Mice at a Night Club Floor Show,” were the most loudly applauded . . . . and rightly so, for they were well chosen and cleverly performed. “Chuck” Hamilton (he was called “Mister” on the program) brought the house down with his tuba solo “Barbarossa.” He cannot be prais- ed too highly for his fine work. His playing was faultless, and the band did a superb job with the accom- paniment. The cornet trio — Bob Baile, George Vossberg and James Grinn — also appeared as soloists but did not quite maintain the standard of playing they have done and are cap- able of doing. However, their per- formance was well received. Most powerful and dynamic of all the numbers was the Grand Selection from “Andrea Chernier.” The aud- ience really showed its appreciation for the excellent rendition by the band. It is seldom that one has a chance to hear this composition, since it is not published and, accor- ding to Director Fred Ebbs, was loaned to the Hobart Band.

One of our Ho-Hi teachers not only preaches this slogan, but actu- ally puts it into everyday practice. Because of the lack of automobile tires, Mr. Prather has put his auto in the garage, has purchased a shiny new bicycle, and is pedaling daily to and from school. If more people would follow his example and give the government splendid cooperation, we could lick those Japs with a simple twist of the wrist (or ankle). We hear radio commentators stressing the neces- sity of saving tires; still most of us do little or nothing about it. Come on, all you fellow Ameri- cans! Let’s get in step with Mr. Prather and “Pedal toward Vic- tory!” ARE YOU MAN OR MOUSE? WELL, SQUEAK IF YOU LIKE! Near the Assembly door reposes a new “Squeak Box,” placed there in compliance with an ordinance passed Thursday, March 5, by the Student City Council for the pur- pose of allowing all Ho-Hi students to offer suggestions or criticisms in regard to various school practices. Any student who has a complaint to register against existing condi- tions or who has a plea to make for new policies or rulings, is urged to make a note of it and slip it into this squeak box. It is not necessary to sign these slips unless the writer desires to do so. If any student wishes to express himself verbally on any topic pertinent to student government, he is invited to attend a regular meeting of the Council and to voice his opinions there.

That was the slogan the Jaycees adopted when they battled (?) the H. H. S. faculty in a spectacular hardwood scuffle in the Roosevelt Gym Wednesday night, March 4. The only thing the Jaycees were able to double, however, was their number of players, in a futile at- tempt to start playing basketball in the final quarter of the funtest. The Jaycees were no match for the col- legiate cagers, who handed them a 48-36 defeat — and with only five players on the floor. Mr. Prather, tall faculty center, sank the opening basket, which started the “quiz kids” on a spec- tacular scoring spurts. The Jaycees didn’t do so bad, though. . . . half- time found the faculty out in front by a mere 20-point margin, the score being 30-10. “Terrible Tommy,” alias Moore, made his debut in this tilt, and was quite helpful to his faculty mates. At one point in the game a Jay- ceer was hanging on to a faculty member with such earnestness that the referee, thinking he was hang- ing on for dear life, out of pity call- ed it the Jaycees’ ball. The third period saw the Jaycees using football, wrestling, — yes, even a hint of basketball tactics to creep up on the “terrific teachers,” to place a slender margin of 21 points between them and the “brainy bas- keteers” for a 39-18 reading at the three-quarter mark. Principal Kendall was the “big gun” for the fighting faculty, mak- ing a total of 14 points, while Gold- en, fast forward, sank 11 points. Cornish, tall Jaycee center, did a little “one-man-playing” and found the hoop for 11 baskets and 3 free tosses, totaling 25 points.

Main St. Phone 140 ALL - STAR TILT East Gary’s All-Star squad ban- ished any hopes the Hobart All- Stars might have had of gaining revenge Wednesday night when they floored the Hobart team by a score of 53-23 in Roosevelt Gym. It was easily detectable that the East Gary boys had a two weeks start in practice sessions over the Hobart boys. East Gary lost no time in breaking down the Hobart offense, which was none too strong to begin with, and their uncanny ball following was a strong factor contributing to their victory. The East Gary netmen were quite ver- satile in sinking baskets from al- most any position on the floor. Dolnus of East Gary turned in a total of six field goals and one free throw, while Dommer paced Ho- bart’s attack with four baskets. The Hobart squad is going to turn in some furious practice between now and March 17, when they will again meet the East Gary boys on the latter’s home floor in a last ef- fort to avenge this defeat. It is rumored that the faculty feels that since the Hobart All-Stars were unable to avenge a loss to East Gary, the pedagogues should take it upon themselves to do so.

It seems just a little peculiar that the Hobart Band, which boasts a record unequalled by any music, athletic, speech or debate organization in this state and also the longest victory record of any band in the country, has so few Hobart school students attending these fine concerts. Incidendally there were more students from vis- iting high schools than there were from Hobart. Some traveled more than 100 miles to attend this con- cert. This indifference of Hobart students is particularly strange when one considers that the band members willingly and freely per- form for various school functions and in addition are loyal supporters of school activities other than their own. (Maybe they should have a pep session). Well anyway, band, there are a few people in this school who real- ly appreciate your good work. Con- •atulations, and keep it up.

JUt (£)’ (irmi St. Patrick’s Day, named as a feast day in honor of the patron saint of Ireland, is observed on the seventeenth of March in every part of the world where the Irish live. St. Patrick was born in Scotland in 373 and died in Ireland in 463. At the age of sixteen, he was captured by pirates from Ireland and was carried to that island, where for six years he tended the flocks of an Ul- ster chieftain. During these years of slavery he became a devoted Christian, and, after his escape to France, entered monastic life. In 432 he returned to Ireland, and for the remainder of his life he worked zealously in various parts of the island, where he is said to have founded more than 300 churches, and to have personally baptized more than 120,000 people. It has been said of St. Patrick that “He found Ireland all heathen and left it all Christian.” Always thought of in connection with Ireland, of which it is the na- tional emblem, the shamrock usu- ally is identified with the white clover. The clover, believed to be the Shamrock, has leaves of a beau- tiful blue-green hue, each made up of three leaflets. Saint Patrick, so the story goes, chose this emblem because the three leaflets were symbolic of Holy Trinity.

This popularity is due to two characteristics: one of them is the entertaining and exciting story ele- ment, and the other is the fact that it demonstrates a way of living which promotes an individual’s suc- cess and happiness. It all began the first day of John Beaven’s medical course. He was a First Year man. Dr. Forrester, called Tubby by the students and many of the members of the faculty, was the great surgeon, addressing his new class in Anatomy. The two men clashed, and for years Jack Beaven bore as best as he could the dislike and the personal antagonism of his professional superior. Many great lessons were learned by Jack Beaven from his own “dis- puted passage” — lessons of patience and fortitude, of devotion to his pro- fession, and of humility. As Walt Whitman wrote, “Have you learned lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you?”, so did Jack Beaven learn great lessons from his rival, Dr. Forrester.

JOE tfOOKE ' J HAS ?£RPECT ATTENDANCE FOR A MONTH BOV L€ARMS ABOUT WASTEBASKETS SPS , ‘� 2 JUMlOU SETS UP WITHOUT BE NG CALLED OR16NAL piece op homework (Boob American Citizen — By Judith Otto Benny wanted so much to be a real American. He knew what it meant to be a good citizen, but still he was a foreigner in the eyes of the children at school. He had had no ancestors in the Revolution like Phil’s, nor was his father a police- man like Jimmy’s. Every day Benny tried very hard to prove he wanted to be a good citi- zen. He could play all the Ameri- can games, and he spoke and dress- ed like any American boy in his room. No one could stand and re- cite the pledge to the flag more proudly than Benny. One day Benny noticed a bulletin pasted on the board. It announced an essay contest to be sponsored by the Patriots’ Society. The subject was to be “What My Citizenship Means To Me.” Benny’s breath caught. Here was his chance to prove he was a real American. Then he thought of Phil and Jimmy and of how his ances- tors had been only Russian peas- ants. “I do not care!” he told himself fiercely. “I’m an American Citizen now, and I am proud of my Citizen- ship. I will write the very best es- say I can.” At the bottom of the board were the words “Award: A Silver Med- al.” Benny thought, “If only I could win! Then I could wear my fine metal, and everyone would know how much I want to be a good citi- zen.” He thought about the things he would write about his fine new country as he walked toward home. Benny smiled quickly and brush- ed away his anxious thoughts as he entered his home. He must not let his mother know that he was un- happy. “Well, Benny, how was school today? More fine than school in the old country,” she chuckled. Benny thought to himself miser- ably, “She thinks just because I have -my citizenship papers I am happy here. I’ll not tell her, though.” After the evening meal Benny said, “Mother Olga, I am going to write an essay about what my Citi- zenship means to me.” “Oh,” said Mother Olga, “that will be easy for you. I myself could write that essay.” Benny did not agree, but he thought of all the things his mother and father told about the old coun- try. Laws which discouraged re- ligion, unjust taxes, and many other things. All these thoughts he put into words. He put fine things Am- erican patriots had done for their country in his testimony of love for his country. « Phil and Jimmy came up to Ben- ny. i “We didn’t realize you were so glad to be a real citizen of Ameri- ca,” said Jimmy. “You make us appreciate our cit- izenship,” agreed Phil. “By the way, we hear you were elected next president of our class,” he added as he threw a friendly arm across Benny’s shoulders. Benny, had won! HO-HI LIFE Page Three The latest and bestest news the Snooper has been able to uncover recently concerns the acquisition of a sound motion picture projector by the school. The machine came as a gift from the Central P. T. A. Dem- onstrations of the projector were made last week in Miss Martin- dale’s biology classes and to the children of the Roosevelt Building. A one-reel film on the life and hab- its of the honey bee was shown. � The Central P. T. A. is going to sponsor a presentation of a “wom- anless wedding” in about two weeks, with a cast heavily laden with talent (?) from the high school faculty. It seems that the faculty men, after the recent basketball game and with this coming up, are more than fond of the limelight. It must be said in their favor that they exhibit themselves for w o r thy causes. Who can tell that from their ranks may come some a la Taylor charmer like Mr. Blue or a dram- atic impressario a la Laughton such as Mr. ' Bell. Profits from the ven- ture are to be used for the purchase of the aforementioned movie ma- chine. Requests for tickets for the reg- ional and semifinal basketball tour- ney were as numerous as the tick- ets were scarce, according to infor- mation from the office. The Snoop- er snooped to find out why. We find that Hobart gets only ten tickets for the tourneys after the sectional. The first ten to apply and deposit the price are the ones that get the tickets. It seems that the best bet is to apply a year ahead of time. But who knows he is going to be alive then? May be in China fightin’ the Japs! Who is going to manufacture the music for the Prom? And when is Matchmaker Moore going to get me that luscious date that tops my “must” list? Who is on the commit- tee that we can put the heat on to get some information regarding this very important blowout? Boy! Oh boy! Are we gettin’ wound up. Tempis Fugit! Then hold back the dawn! � Day Dreaming: ’Tain’t safe to breathe anymore. That infernal speaker up overhead just hangs 1 there, but we never know when it’s listenin’. It bothers the Snooper more than his own conscience. . . . Observation: Some apparently per- manent twosomes are breaking up i from external pressures. Or is that i just a good alibi? ....

FRENCH CLUB Coming events on the calendar of the French Club before school closes include a hay ride and a hike, ac- cording to Joan Steinback, chair- man of the committee in charge of arrangements. At a meeting of the organization Thursday, February 12, Georgia King, Marion McKnight and Dick Macken were appointed as a committee to help Joan with plans for the parties. Billie Lee Nelson, Carmen Mor- eira, Georgia King, Joen Niksch, Shirley Mundell and Betty Mae Schane volunteered to work in the Brickie Sugar Bowl during the last six weeks of the semester. Following the business meeting members participated in a French guessing game. TRAFFIC SQUAD Traffic Squad members received from Mr. Kendall Tuesday morning, March 10, instructions regarding their duties in air raid drills. Each Squad member has been assigned to the dispersal point nearest his own home, and it is his duty to watch and help other students until the signal sounds for them to leave the dispersal point. Spring banquet plans held the limelight at the group’s meeting Thursday, March 12. Committees will be appointed at a later meet- ing, Mr. McClelland reported. LIBRARIANS’ CLUB To make plans for an April party the Librarians’ Club met Monday, March 9, in Room 312. Committee chairmen for the party are Violet Tatolovich for time, place and theme; Violet Wilfong, decorations,’ Betty Chester, refreshments; Clara- belle Loggie, entertainment; Jean Shults, chaperons, and Audrey And- rews, reception. A book truck, which the club will present to the school, is now being constructed by the Building Trades boys. INDUSTRIAL CLUB Industrial Club members voted unanimously to pay for four speak- ers for the newly-installed public address system when they met Mon- day, March 9. These four speakers, whose total cost is $40, are in the classrooms used for vocational studies: Room 106, where Building Trades classes meet; Room 108, the print shop; Room 110, the general shop, and Room 109, where mechanical draw- ing classes meet. Page Four HO-HI LIFE BATTLING BRICKIES Who can forget the Brickies’ first round of tournament play against Lowell, in which Floyd Wineinger’s four fielders put the skids under the Red Devils in a furious last-quarter drive? Playing the role of forward for the first time in the Chesterton tilt on Friday the Thirteenth, at Chest- erton, Bill Shearer did some fancy basketeering for a total of 18 points. Robert Balitz found himself and the basket in that tough tilt with Gary Edison on December 16 on the Brickies’ home floor. How can anyone forget that hec- tic double overtime battle witn Merrillville on December 17, when “Cy” Ciszek cashed in the winning goal to maintain the Brickies’ five- game winning streak intact? Stewart Hutchens’s performance at East Gary helped Hobart to de- feat the Eagles for the first time in six seasons. Despite the fact that he’s only a freshman, Lewis Roper has turned in some fine playing, his best per- formance being in the sectional tourney. He is a fine prospect for next season. 1941-1942 BASKETBALL Individual Player Record — Varsity Games (FG) Field Goals; (FT) Free Throws; (PF) Personal Fouls; (TP) Total Points Scored.

Todd, member of the editorial department of that paper, spoke to members of Miss Fraling’s journal- ism class Thursday afternoon, March 12. Mr. Todd referred to a newspaper as “the mirror of a community,” in which is or should be reflected ev- ery aspect of community life. He stressed particularly the importance of developing good newspaper readers, as well as good newspaper writers. Since the class will to go through the Post - Tribune establishment soon, Mr. Todd described in some detail the organization of the var- ious departments of the paper and the different steps taken to put out one edition, thus giving the students some ideas as to what to look for during their visit.

Martin formed an orchestra when Guy Lombardo asked him to fill an engagement which the Lombardo band could not meet. This band was a complete failure. Several years later, in 1932, Freddy formed an orchestra which was basically the same organization that he uses today. He spent several years be- tween Chicago and San Francisco playing in the Aragon Ballroom and the St. Francis Hotel. Last year the band broke all records by play- ing forty-three weeks in the Cocoa- nut Grove in Los Angeles. No other band has played this spot for more than six weeks. Following this engagement they went to Hollywood to make a pic- ture. At present the band is play- ing at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City and recently began a series of weekly programs for a powder concern over CBS. Outstanding among songs popu- larized by the Martin Orchestra are: “The Hut Sut Song,” “Intermezzo,” “Rose O’Day” and “Piano Concer- to.” The theme song, “By Lo Bye Lullaby,” was written by former pianist Terry Shast. The personnel is as follows: Russ Klein, Reid Christiansen and Clyde Rogers, saxophones; Charles Bilek, Eddy Bergman and Eddy Stone, violins; Bob White, drums; Charles Probert and Glen Hughes, trom- bones; Norman Bailey and Harry McKeehan, trumpets; Jack Fina, piano; George Green, bass; and Freddy Martin, front and sax.

It is not surprising that Mr. Schackt should begin singing at the early age of three, what with the training of his mother and the oth- erwise musical surroundings of his old-country home.

Page Two HO-HI LIFE BOOK NOOK “JUST LIKE A GIRL” In this amusing and highly diver- ting novel, Jean Rardall, the auth- or of “The Shortest Street,” “In Li- lac Time,” “After a Man’s Heart,” and other recent successful novels, tells the story of John and Jennifer and what happened when an irre- sistible farce met an immovable person. John Gilfayle wasn’t really eccen- tric. ... he just wanted, for reasons best known to himself, to be alone; to get away from people. . . . espec- ially women; and to work and live in peace. That’s why he had left a perfectly good newspaper job in Chicago and had come to California to write his novels; that was why he had settled on a quiet street; and that was why he was upset (to put it mildly) when Jennifer Colighton had moved in next door. For Jen- nifer was studying music and was anything but quiet; and Jennifer was beautiful. Moreover she had her own very definite ideas about life and love — and novelists. A lot can happen in a year, as John and Jennifer found out. First, an escaped lunatic who provided enough excitement to start a friend- ship, if not an intimacy, between the two; then a visit from a worried and indignant brother who practi- cally put Jennifer in John’s care then; Malcolm Laird, a philanderer who had John and Jennifer’s cousin Emmaline both worried. Then Marie Hamilton, exactly like an actress, and then Laird again on the eve of his wedding. . . : and finally, Jennifer’s accident, her long con- valescence, John’s devoted attend- ance on her day after day until . . . and if you want to know the rest, you’ll read “Just Like a Girl.” by Jean Rardall.

CONVO BY OTTO SCHACKT (Continued from page 1) University, from which he received the M. D. degree. He, however, chose to follow a musical career rather than medicinal. “If you have a desire or ambition, there is nothing to prevent you from realizing this desire or ambition here in this glorious America, re- gardless of whether or not you have money,” stated Mr. Schackt. To prove his point, he told of his own struggle for success, of how he worked in the third basement of the Morrison Hotel in Chicago in order that he might earn enough money to study singing at night. Mr. Schackt opened -his program Monday morning with the selection “I Love Life,” followed by a beauti- ful and inspiring rendition of “The Lord’s Prayer,” in which he truly illustrated what he meant when he said, “The aim of singing is sincer- ity.” For his selection “Waterboy” Mr. Schackt placed himself in the role of a convict on a chain gang down in Georgia. “On the Road to Mandalay,” from Kipling’s poem, was his last solo, after which he led the audience in the singing of the national anthem and “God Bless America.” 9 8 l ' i luniornHit Say! Looks like springtime for sure between Bob Cunningham and Alice Foreman. Another couple who seems to have taken a pretty hard tumble for each other are Marilyn John- ston and Jack Garud. Bill Paterson has given several indications of thinking that Delores Respecke is a humdinger. How about it, Dee. . . . what do you think of Bill? Donald Hess has been having a great bit of difficulty in keeping his mind on his school work during re- cent days. It just might be that Carol Kostbade is a big contribu- ting factor to this difficulty. Jay Greene and Betty Greenlee seemed to be happy to be sitting by each other at a movie on a recent Sunday. Could anyone supply us with in- formation as to the name of the girl that David Sizemore is eyeing int- erestedly these days? Bill Figley and Shirley Jones re- portedly are in Cupid’s clutches. Ah, spring! Mr. Golden’s home room won from Mr. Morland’s group in a quiz program Wednesday morning, March 18. What can it be that keeps Mari- ellen J. up nights? At least we think she’s been up late, for she goes to sleep almost every day in her sixth hour literature class. A really auspicious occasion is promised for this Thursday and Fri- day evenings when the Central P. T. A. puts on its big blowout, “Minnie Gets A Husband,” at Roosevelt Gym. The lion’s share of the better roles in the casting fell to those re- doubtable thespians of the faculty. Latest reports are to the effect that there will be a quarantine search at the door to prevent any students from smuggling in tomatoes and mature hen fruit. If reports from the rehearsals are correct, no am- munition will be needed because we will be so busy laughing there will be no time for throwing. � There is the story of the brave senior lassie who had tired of the raids of a wee mousie in her locker, so she obtained a trap and cheese to set in the locker. Sure enough, the tiny rodent thought more of the cheese than he did of his life. And Dorothy Oakley proudly exhibited her kill up and down the hall and even into the offices of the high and mighty. She now knows the thrill of big game hunting. A regular fe- male Frank Buck. There were several Hobart hard- wood maniacs in attendance at the final tourney last Saturday at Ind- ianapolis. We didn’t get a list, but those who went, which included the coaches and four senior letter win- ners, report a best-ever tournament. The boys went in a school bus in company with athletes from four other high schools in the Calumet. This is a nice reward for a boy who gives his best in sports for his school. • � One of the two new rooms in the New Addition basement was placed in use last week.

SCHOOL GOVERNING GROUP TO VISIT CITY COUNCIL Officials of thej Hobart High School City Government will at- tend a regular meeting of the Ho- bart City Council Wednesday night, April 1, at the City Hall, according to plans announced at the regular meeting of the high school group Thursday, March 19. The following ordinance passed on first reading and will come up for final action at the next meeting of the Council: Section I: It shall be a misde- meanor for any student to walk on the grass in front of the school. Section II: The police department is authorized to enforce this provi- sion and turn over to the city court any violators of said provision. Any school citizen interested in this ordinance is invited to attend the next meeting, which will be held Thursday noon, April 2. Next in line in our Parade of Bands is Ted Weems and his new orchestra. We say new, for Weems recently changed both the person- nel of his group and also their style of playing. Weems, who built and retained surprising popularity with a show- type band, recently has realized the trend toward contemporary jazz and has decided that better music is fast supplanting showmanship. However, Weems fans will be re- lieved to hear that Elmo Tanner has been retained for his whistling novelties and Bill Blair for his com- edy. Perry Como still will handle vocals. . . all of them. As this article was being written, Allen Ruess, guitarist, was on no- tice, to be replaced by Danny Perri, formerly with Jan Savitt. When this last change has been completed, the personnel will consist of John Hell- ner, Pat Leonard, Rosy McHargue and Joe Stenger, saxophones; Dee Palmer, George Hosfeld and Joe Hoover, trumpets; Danny Perri, guitar; Les Jenkins, trombone; Orm Downes, drums; Bill Blair, bass; Ralph Blank, piano; Perry Como, vocals; Elmo Tanner, whistling, and Ted Weems, front. Bill Black man- ages the band, and Joe Haymes does the arranging. As a theme the band uses Harry Sosnick’s “Out of the Night.” Re- cordings by the new group, record- ' ings which are selling rapidly, in- clude “Deep in the Heart of Texas ’ and “Angeline.” The Weems clan will go into the Blackhawk in Chicago on April 8 : for an engagement of at least three months. This engagement will net ' fifteen MBS airshots a week, plus several local broadcasts via WGN. Page Fqur CINDER STARS WILL SWING IN SATURDAY BRICKIE TRACKMEN TO GO TO SOUTH BEND FOR INDOOR MEET Brickie cinder artists will get their first taste of competition in the 1942 track and field campaign on Saturday, March 28, when they will compete in the Gary Schools Annua 1 Indoor Invitational Meet, which is being hel d in South Bend in the Notre Dame Field House. This meet is the largest of its kind for the indoor season, with the win- ner generally considered the indoor state champion of Indiana. North Side of Fort Wayne is the defend- ing champion, winning the team honors last year for the first time. Last year, in their first trip to the meet, the Brickies surprised sports fans by copping 13th place in a field of 22 schools. From this meet last year the Brickie team went on to a most successful season in which they were undefeated in all their dual meets, placed second in the LaPorte invitational meet and the Knox relays, and ended the regular season by taking the championship Little Four meet. Lost by graduation from last year’s team are Captain Delos Brooks, high point collector and star hurdler, and Raymond Dom- mer, quarter-mile and half-mile runner. Delos Brooks represented Hobart in the State finals. Among the more promising pros- pects for this year’s team are Lewis Rose, Ray Ciszek, Albert Kazlaus- ki, Larry Findley, Bill Shearer, Bob Hill, Alfred Ritter, Bob McDonald, Jack Taylor, Bill Truitt, Dan Lova- dinovich, Wallace Drummond, Rich- ard Welton, Wilbur Howell, Lewis Roper, Jack Anderson and a host of new untried prospects. Coach Frank Kurth has meets lined up with Crown Point, Wirt, Lowell and Chesterton of the smal- ler schools, plus some stiff competi- tion with varsities of Emerson of Gary, Roosevelt of Gary, Lew Wall- ace of Gary, and Michigan City. The larger relay meets include Gary In- door, East Chicago Relays, Chester- ton Relays and Little Five meet. Sophie: Where did you get that black eye?

Well, here we are, broadcasting from station W-O-O in the vast Roosevelt Gymnasium of Hobart High School. This broadcast of the National Yo-Yo contest is being brought to you from Burple’s Pur- ple Pills for indigestion. We’ll skip the commercial for now and get down to the floor where the first two contestants are being lined up for the first game in the contest. We now switch you to Miss Lu Fra Ling, Chinese correspondent for Ho- Hi Strife “Hi, folks. This is Betty Lu Fra Ling reporting. The first two con- testants are getting their final in- structions from the coaches . . . and here we go! Miss Friedrich, winner of last year’s, contest and title defender, will oppose Mr. Bagshaw, that real yo-yo artist from the other side of the halls. The gun has just gone off, and there is quite a bit of commotion here. It seems that Miss Friedrich can’t manage her yo-yo because it is always hitting the floor. Poor thing . . . she has to stop and wind the yo-yo up each time sh e releases it. Mr. Bagshaw is so tall that his yo-yo never reaches the floor . . . looks like a one-sided battle. Yes, there are the judges acclaiming Mr. Bagshaw as winner of the first round (and round and round). Somehow Kip Humes acquired a chocolate Easter egg last week for his birthday. The egg gave him the brilliant idea of raising chocolate chickens and serving chocolate e Sgs to anyone who wanted them. Much to Kip’s surprise and dis- appointment, however, four fuzzy chickens pecked their way out of the chocolate egg (Well, they must have come from that egg ... it was the only one Kio had in the house), thus blasting Kip’s hopes for rais- ln g chocolate chickens and eggs. But quick to turn apparent ad- versity to opportunity, Kip had another brainstrom. Sunday, March was Jean Thompson’s birthday, and Kip wanted to get her a pre- text we’ll have a battle between Frankie Kurth and Guy “Ding- Dong’’ Bell. Kurth is here . . . but where is Bell? What’s this? Kurth has seen something and has turned as white as a sheet. Oh, I see what he sees, and I don’t feel well either. Here comes little “Ding- dong” in lace-trimmed red polka- dot shorts. Kurth says he’ll be un- able to play ... he prefers to for- feit. Mr. Bell therefore will play Mr. Bagshaw in the semi-finals. “The next game now is beginning between “Mae West” Moore and Miss Anderson. Oh-oh! Moore stoops over to tie his shoe, and Miss Ander- son konks him over the head with her yo-yo . . . but that is against the rules, and Miss Anderson is thus disqualified. Moore is declared the winner, and he will meet either Mr. Blue or Mr. Prather in the semi- finals. “Prather and Blue are ready now. Beth came in riding their bikes in order to save on shoe-leather There goes the gun ... or was it’ No. that wasn’t the gun, folks. Mr. Blue just had a blowout and says he won’t play without his bike. So he is going to forfeit the match to Mr. Prather. But now let’s go back to the studio for a little message.” This broadcast of the National (Continued on Page 2) sent. He immediately set about building a small chicken coop, in which he placed his little fuzzy family of four chicks. Bright and early Sunday morning, while Jean was at church, Kip set off for the Thompson homestead, where he left the family as Jean’s birthday remembrance from him. Jean reported Monday morning that she is planning to raise the chicks to big healthy hens so that she can aid the defense probram by selling eggs . . . and cheap . . . to all faculty members. The plan sounds good . . . unless the chickens grow up to be roosters. In the latter event, Jean can at least get rid of her alarm clock and depend on the cock’s clarion call each morning. PRESIDENT M. CENKO OF JR. CLASS, TELLS OF PLANS FOR PROM STUDENTS WILL RIDE BIKES TO PANTHER RJOM This year’s Prom, open only to freshmen and sophomores, will be held in the Panther Room of the Drake Hotel in Chicago early in May, Mike Cenko, president of the Junior Class, announced yesterday. The affair will begin at midnight on Friday and will end at about 8 o’clock the following morning. The main event of the evening will be a roller-skate finale by Mr Kendall qnd Mr. Garver. Instead of having a grand marc h, Mr. Yun- ker will lead the group in a conga. 4 battle of bands between the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra and the Wee Willie Wildcats will furnish the music for all the hep- cats and jitterbugs who attend the Prom. Since this is going to be strictly a formal affair, the accepted apparel list for the evening follows: Boys will wear top hats, plaid flannel shirts, purple and gold ties, and tails. Girls will wear sarongs, knee socks and hair nets. No one will be admitted unless he is wearing gym shoes, thus making sure that the ballroom floor will not be scratched. Corsages must consist of vegetables. School will be dismissed early Thursday to enable everyone to be in Chicago by midnight Friday, as everyone will be riding bicycles be- cause of the tire snortage.

HO-HI ADOPTS SIX REFUGEE CHILDREN YO-YO CONTEST Yo-Yo Contest is coming to you from Station W-O-O, Pink network. Have you ever gone to a dinner party and had to stay until the last man went home? Did you feel like leaving right after dinner? If so, here is an aid which will help you to make your getaway as soon as dinner is over. Before leaving, for the party, eat a few of Burple’s Purple Pills. They’ll start acting up right after you have eaten, and you will be so ill that no one will want you to stay. Again I say, try Bur- ple’s Purple Pills TODAY! And now here’s your announcer, Miss Lu Fra Ling ready to report the next event in the Yo-Yo contest. “Hello again, folks. This is Betty Lu Fra Ling reporting the National Yo-Yo Contest for you. There are three more rounds to go, two semi- final matches and the final. “Here come Mr. Bagshaw and Mr. Bell to play off the first semi-final round. Oh, look! Mr. Bell has put on some shoes for this contest. He must have hurt his corn before. The gun has just gone off, and this looks as if it will be a rip-snortin’ fracas. Bell is running circles around Bag- shaw, who just doesn’t seem to be able to get going. Now Bell has cal- led time out. I just heard him place an order for a double malted milk from the Mary Daid, and he is pre- paring to have his lunch on the floor. Bagshaw cast one longing look at the food and cashed in his yo-yo. Yes, he’s forfeiting the match so that he can go out for a ham- burger and some punch. This means that Bell will be pitted against either Prather or Moore in the final round. “Now we’re ready for the last contest in the semi-finals, folks. Mr. Moore and Mr. Prather are all set new. ... no, wait! There seems to be an argument about something. (Continued from page 1) Oh, Prather says he won’t play without his bike. (He’s afraid some- one will steal the tires). Moore says that he can’t ride a bicycle because of his operation ... by the way, has he ever told you about his operation? ... so he suggests that they flip a coin to determine the winner. Of course Moore has no coin, but the referee graciously offers one . . . he’s a bit weary and eager to finish this contest. “Heads I win, tails you lose,” says Moore. He flips . . . “Tails . . . You lose.” That means it’s Moore vs. Bell for the finals. Well, that should be good for an argument. “Here comes Bell in his lace-trim- med red and white shorts, but with- out shoes this time. Oh oh! They’ve started it. Moore made some remark about Bell’s figure not following the normal curve . . . and Bell really swears by the normal curve, you know. Yo-yo’s have been forgotten for a hot verbal battle. The referee has succeeded in quieting them, and now they are warming up with their yo-yo’s. Oops, Bell dropped his yo-yo and, in stooping to pick it up, he seems to have ripped some part of his apparel. He’s running from the floor yelling vicious names at Moore. And now here’s Tommy Moore, the winner. Will you say a few words for us, Mr. Moore?” “Hello, big boy! Why’ncha come up sometime? . . . MMMmm. Oh, I forgot! , , , This is Old Tom Moore, folks, and I’m certainly thrilled to be declared winner of this great contest. Hello, Mom ... It was a tough fight and I’m hungry. Get my dinner ready quick!” “All right, Thank you, Mr. Moore. No . . . that’s enough. Thank you. This is station W-O-O, folks, sign- ing off with just this brief remind- er: Remember our product, Burple’s Purple Pills for indigestion.” The Hobart High students have asked teachers to organize a home nursing and child care class to care for the recently adopted six refugee children whose ages range from six months to two years. These children shall be used for the child care project throughout the high school. Yes, boys are in- cluded in this class too! Tommy Moore has consented to take four of the children home each night and to care for all six over the weekends. Miss Fraling said she’d keep the twins (age, 9 months) and promised to make them just gobs of cookies and such to keep them quiet during class time. Mr. Bell, who is just crazy ab put little children, has started to knit sweat- ers for them already. Mr. Martin asked whether he could teach the child care class. We want this to be one of our biggest and best classes, so don’t you kids forget to register for the course! SONJA HENIE AGREES TO TEACH AT H.H.S.

HO-HI LIFE Page Four SPORTS FOOLERY Report from Coach Frank Kurth seem to indicate that next season, together with basketball, football, and track, two really “he-man” sports will be brought into the limelight by the Ho-Ho Athletic Department — ping pong and table tennis. Asked as to the qualifications of the students wishing to go out for these fascinating funfests. Coach Kurth replied, “due to the fact that these two sports require tremen- dous physical strain, students will have to obtain certificates from their family physician; also, the student must carry a life insurance policy of not less than $5000.” But, students, here is the really bright feature of these two spot- light sports: Coach Kurth also stated that grades will mean absolutely nothing, as brawn rather than brain is required for these spectacular sports. This last qualification is ex- pected to bring throngs of nit-wits, morons, and any other students who may be interested in “rough and tumble” games out for early training next year. Training will include such things as rigorous calisthenics, disk throw- ing, mile runs in cross-country style, and whatever else our ingeni- ous mentors deem necessary for these individual sports. After about two months of train- ing, if any of the trainees have any physical strength left and feel strong enough to play ping pong or table tennis, both Coaches Kurth and Moore will deem this as noth- ing short of a miracle. Bob Nelson — Why do you suppose they put the hole in the doughnut? Jack Galler — To save the dough — nut!

Well, students, it all started with the local P. T. A. production, “Min- nie Gets A Husband,” the play with an entirely womanless cast, in which Tommy Moore starred as Mae West, together with Coach Frank Kurth and Mr. Claude Bag- shaw, who appeared as the very sophisticated fashion plate and the dignified butler, respectively. The day after the first showing of “Minnie Get A Husband” a talent scout, who had seen the play the previous night, offered, via the tele- phone system, to contract the above mentioned stars to appear in the title roles of the comedy “The Three Bags”. Before any decision could be reached, however, Coach Moore received a telegram urging him not to accept the offer already made to him. The telegram, which was said to be from Universal pictures, who also had a scout planted in the audi- ence an the opening night, offered Mr. Moore $1000 plus a regular sal- ary to appear in one of their future productions in the role that made him famous — Mae West. And now Mr. Moore won’t give us a final report — guess it’s his theatri- cal temperament coming to the fore. Margie: Hasn’t Jarvis ever mar- tests. Rose Lee - I don’t think he intends to.

CONCLAVE HONORS HO-HI GIRLS HOBART WILL BE HOSTESS CITY FOR CONFERENCE NEXT YEAR Hobart girls really “brought home the bacon” from the third annual Lake County Girls’ Conference, held at Whiting Saturday, April 11. In addition to being chosen the hos- tess city for next year’s conference, Hobart got the honor of having the president and secretary-treasurer for 1942-43 chosen from its repre- sentatives. Patty Roper is the new president and Carmen Moreira the secretary-treasurer. Virginia Florios of Horace Mann will serve as vice- president. Highlights of the conference were a talk in the morning by Miss Mar- garet Duane, personnel director at The Fair in Chicago, and in the afternoon a pageant presented by the Whiting High School girls. The pageant depicted outstanding events in the present world crisis and con- cluded with a tableau representing Liberty. Patty Moon, Hobart senior, was the leader of a group discussion top- ic at the conference. Her subject was “The Mirror Doesn’t Lie.” Oth- er topics discussed were “War Mar- riages,” “College Versus War Jobs,” “Opportunities for the Graduate Who Stays at Home,” “The Place of a Girls’ Club in the Community,” “After Vacations — Vocations,” “Career Girl, Matron, or Both?,” “Our Opportunities in Civilian De- fense,” “What Will We Do — No Men?,” “Budgets for the Duration,” “Boy Dates Girl” and “What Does Your Girls’ Club Do?” The conference began at 10:00 a. m., when the girls registered at the school and attended a general pro- gram in the auditorium, which last- ed until 11:00. The girls then at- tended at least one of the twelve discussion groups. At noon approxi- mately 200 girls were served lunch at the Methodist Church in Whiting, while the remaining 600 or 800 girls ate in town. The afternoon program began at 1:30 with full reports of the discus- sions held in the morning.

With the date of the Prom draw- ing nearer everyday, the juniors and seniors of Ho-Hi are becoming more excited over the big event. The girls are planning the color and type of formal they want. Some have already been asked by their steady boy friends, but many are waiting to be invited. The boys, on the other hand, are having troubles of their own. A few haven’t learned to dance yet, others are bashful, and still others say “stag” or- not at all. The prom is not a high society event at which manners and social etiquette are the main factors. It is more of a meeting of young peo- ple to practice and learn about soc- ial doings. Some day most of us will probably be glad to have learn- ed at an early age how to enjoy our- selves in public. The success or failure of a prom depends on those who attend it. In some schools the girls outnumber the boys or vice-versa, but in Ho- bart the groups are about even in number. There is little excuse for a boy to attend a dance stag. He not only would ruin his evening, but the evening of many others by mak- ing an odd number of couples. Therefore, there shall be no “stags” admitted this year. It is too bad that the rules of eti- quette do not allow the girls the j same privilege of asking. Most of them are not bashful and could easily show boys how it should be done. But instead all you boys be good ’n ask the girls, huh? Come on, boys, the Junior-Senior Prom is for everyone. Therefore why not make it a success by bring- ing a girl with you? Remember that it was originally planned for couples, not stags! TRUE VALOR One young boy had just saved an- other young boy from drowning and was the center of an admiring crowd. He was asked: “How did you ever get enough courage to jump in after your pal?” He replied: “He was wearing my bathing suit.” • i FIFTI4 COLUMN Ole Dan Cupid must have been working overtime recently, if we are to judge from readings on the barometer of love.

The Snooper has observed the growing looks of anticipation on the faces of the students and otherwise around about, the same occurring because time is fleeting and sum- mer vacation is near. With one eye on the 29th of May and the other on the round of activities leading up to that time, we went into a trance and came up with some in- tricate mathematical calculations regarding the time remaining as of 4 p. m. this day. There are thirty- three days remaining. At six per- iods a day there are 198 class hours left. That means 9,900 minutes or 594,000 seconds under the spell of dear teacher or in study hall. That’s not all. There are thirty-three home room periods left. (They are not so bad any more). That’s an additional 1320 minutes or 79,220 seconds. And then there are seven intermissions a day. (Not so bad if a little romance can be enjoyed). That’s 35 minutes a day or a total of 1155 minutes or 69,300 seconds. Whew! It seems an eternity when we reflect that all told there are 742,520 seconds of imprisonment left before the balmy summer breezes tickle our free and dir- ectionless proboscis. Tempis fugit. The Junior dances that started so auspiciously last fall and were real- ly enjoyed by the Snooper are wan- ing in popularity. We don’t know why: The music is swell; the gals are gorgeous; and time hangs heavy on our hands. A little salesmanship is in order on the part of the class officers to revive the jam session. Come down Wednesday afternoon and sling a hoof. There is a report of a miracle that happened right under the roof of our dear alma “mammy.” We have been told that a gathering of boys with bottomless stomachs met their Waterloo at the hands of some ultra- ultra cooks who are also comely students of our little school. The boys, brawniest of their kind, bas- ketball wizards all, gathered abiput the festive board in the Recreation Room and proceeded to demonstrate their gustatory talent. Fried chick- en disappeared at a fearsome rate, but the plates filled up as fast as they were vacated. When the bout was over, chicken was still on the plates and thirty sad-eyed boys were deploring the limited capacity of the human stomach. Good cooks, full boys, poor chickens! Such is life. Day-dreaming: We go on record as favoring more dramatic presen- tations. Last Friday’s Dramatic Club show was a real success. Bou- DR. FRANK BROWN EXPLAINS TELEVISION AT CONVOCATION Dr. Frank Brown, representative of the Chicago Technical College, delved into the physical science of the future of television when he presented a convocation to the stu- dents of both the Junior and Senior High School Tuesday morning, March 31, in the Roosevelt Gym. Dr. Brown illustrated his lecture through the use of the recently ac- quired sound movie equipment. The first movie showed the tedious work and extreme care exercised in the laying of a cable for televi- sion, while the last film depicted the actual making of these television pictures in outdoor sports such as horse racing, football, etc. It also showed the special lighting which is required for indoor orchestral broadcasts. Having traveled extensively in China and Japan, Dr. Brown has had occasion to observe the prob- lems and difficulties of these two peoples and, most important of all, perhaps, their opportunities for suc- cess as compared to our own. He impressed upon the minds of the student body the fact that the Uni- ted States is truly a land of glori- ous opportu nity. A CAPELLA CHORISTERS SING AT CONVOCATION Hilmer E. Jacobsen, director of the Merrillville A Capella Choir, presented his group in a convoca- tion program in the Roosevelt Gym Wednesday morning, March 25. Miss Elizabeth Miller, music in- structor in the Merrillville grade schools, assisted on the program by playing two violin solos. Hobart s band will play in Merrillville the last week of this month for an ex- change convocation program. KEEP THEM SHINING Ho-Hi welcomes Robert Ball, an 8B student from Horace Mann. These new sound movies are real- ly super-super, aren’t they kids? There’s only one drawback: the sound movies don’t seem to last as long as the old silent ones. At any rate the Junior High science classes of Mr. Kurth, Mr. Morland and Miss Stewart have enjoyed several reels recently, among these one on the “Alimentary Canal.” Thais Stewart just can’t make up her mind between John Alley and Jerry Tiffany (and by now there may be even more competitors).

The outstanding performance of the meet was Howell’s broad jump of 20 feet 3 inches, a record which last year would have taken a first place rating in the Gary Sectional. Other feats that turned out to be winning performances were mile run, Ritter; half-mile run, Findley; shot put, B. Truett, and broad-jump, Howell. Hill and Drummond tied for first place in the pole vault. Rose took high point scoring hon- ors of the meet with 1914 points to his credit. He placed first in the 100-yard, 220-yard and 440-yard dashes and took second place in the broad jump.

The half-mile relay team, com- posed of Ray Ciszek, Albert Kaz- lauski, Bill Truett and Lewis Rose, placed third when they chalked up 11 points for Hobart, therefore giv- ing them a tenth place rating among some of the strongest teams in the State. Perhaps the most outstanding performance was turned in by Lar- ry Findley, crack half-miler, who pushed the state champion, Ashley Hawk of North Side of Ft. Wayne, to a new record of 2 minutes, 1.8 seconds. Findley, Rose and Ritter received medals for their efforts, while the relay combination were given rib- bons.

Among things of interest to them were various species of animals and fishes in the Aquarium, and in the Museum they saw jewels ' and cost- umes from different parts of the world. MISS VIRGINIA CARNEFIX VISITS HOBART FRIENDS Miss Virginia Carnefix, former English and journalism teacher of Hobart High, visited in Hobart Tuesday and Wednesday, March 31 and April 1. She then left for Chi- cago where she spent the weekend. During her visit here she said she was very much impressed by the many recent improvements in the school. Miss Carnefix is now teaching English at the Thomas Carr Howe High School in Indianapolis.

The students went first to the news room, where they saw nume- rous reporters busy preparing ma- terial for the paper. Adjoining the news room was a small room con- taining six teletype machines bring- ing stories from the Associated Press, the United Press and Inter- national News Service wires. News stories and reports, seemingly com- ing from nowhere, emerged, already typed, from these machines, much to the fascination of the visiting students. They saw also the operators work- ing at the sixteen linotype machines in the composing room. Although this was a noisy place, the students decided, after visiting the press room while the presses were run- ning, that the composing room was, in comparison, a haven of peace and quiet. In the distributing room they saw papers emerge from the wire chute counted off in groups of fif- • ties, having been cut, folded and counted, all by machine, before leaving the press machine. The last point of interest was the library, which contains a Recordak, a machine which makes it possible to read any issue of The Gary Post- Tribune published and photograped on microfilm. This machine, which magnifies the impression contained on the film, is the modern news- paper’s method of referring to back issues, having eliminated the neces- sity of leafing through bulky bound volumes of large pages. Mr. A. R. Todd and Miss Weber of the Post-Tribune staff assisted the students on the tour and ex- plained various operations to them.

BAND RATES FIRST IN DISTRICT CONTEST Hobart High School’s Junior Band passed successfully its first • hurdle in formal competition Saturday, April 18, when it won first division ranking in the District Band Con- test held at Whiting. Some of the comments of the three judges regarding this top-rate Jun- ior band of fifty-five boys and girls sounded something like this: Judge I: “Excellent! A superior Junior High Band if there ever was one. Congratulations!” Judge II: “Played exceptionally well.” Judge III: “What do you feed the boys and girls in Hobart to get that lovely tone quality?” And comments from Ho-Hi stu- dents should sound something like this: STUDENT BODY: “Yea! Rah! Junior Band!” WALKER EMPHASIZES ALL-OUT EFFORTS Through the efforts of the local Office of Civilian Defense and the Gary American Legion and Chamber of Commerce, Hobart citizens and High School students had the privi- lege of hearing an authority of the Far East speak on “Americanism on Main Street” at the Roosevelt Gym on Friday, April 17. DeLoss Walker, former associate editor of Liberty Magazine, who taught in the largest university in Japan for 10 years, stressed the im- portance of an all-out effort of everyone to win this war. He said, “A nation that can’t defend herself doesn’t deserve to live.” His own son is fighting and flying for Uncle Sam. The program opened with the singing of America, led by Mrs. Wilma Abel, accompanied by Miss Warner at the piano. Mr. Walker’s talk was followed by a drum duet by Peter Hughes and Alan Abel. The singing of the Star Spangled Banner closed the program. WANTED! Miss Murray in Room 202 would like to buy at half price two copies of the February, 1942 issue of The National Geographic magazine.

Worb ($n |}rom5 Various rules concerning the Prom, as drawn by the committee chairmen, are as follows: 1. Everyone should be there no later than one-half hour after the Prom begins. 2. No stags will be admitted. 3. No one will leave until favors have been distributed. 4. The use of alcohol is forbidden. 5. No smoking will be permitted. 6. Anyone who has had any al- cohol before arrival at the Prom will be escorted home. Students who are attending this year’s Junior-Senior Prom, is your etiquette what it should be? If you weren’t at either of the meetings for the Junior and Senior girls and boys Wednesday, April 15, you didn’t hear the rules and laws of etiquette mentioned by various teachers and some students. Does your etiquette check with these items listed below? Girls: Are you ready on time so as not to keep your escort waiting? Boys: Do you arrive on time for your date? Don’t keep her waiting. Girls: Do you chew your gum in his ear? Boys: Don’t sing in your partner’s ear. She will enjoy the dance much more if you just keep up a friendly conversation. Girls: Ditto. Girls: Do you always return to your escort after every dance? Or do you run to a crowd of gir ls to discuss various unimportant things? Always return to your escort. Boys: Do you always accompany your dancing partner off the floor to her escort? Boys and Girls: Above all, will you be yourself and act natural? OCTETTE HAPPENINGS Members of the Girls’ Octette sang yesterday, April 20, for the Women’s Club Luncheon at the Methodist Church. Next Monday evening, April 27, the Octette will sing at the Valpar- aiso High School at a general meet- ing of teachers of that city. What Will Yours Be? The 103 people in 7A have just completed a six-hours and 40 min- utes six weeks’ test composed of 400 problems. Bob Gulledge of the 7A1 class was highest followed by Bruce Scott of the 7A2’s. Ralph Kneifel, also of the 7A2’S was third, while Art Hamilton of the 7A3’s was fourth. The test was taken in 20 parts during the last five weeks. Mr. Kastner said, “It was the longest test I’ve ever kept track of.” And most of the students agree! Central’s local chapters (Grades 4, 5 and 6) of the Young America Victory Club have contributed sev- en dollars in a nation-wide drive to furnish ambulances for General MacArthur’s men in Australia. Each ambulance will bear the in- signia of the Victory Club, whose national membership now totals 75.000 hoys and girls. Members of the local chapter earned money for the contribution by selling book marks and by col- lecting scrap material. The Junior Hi Miss Club has gathered articles of old and lost clothing from around school and will turn them over to the Christian Science Church, whose members w ' ll make clothes for refugee child- ren. This is the Parade of Bands, feat- uring genial Jan Garber, “Idol of the Airlanes.” Jan attended the University of North Carolina, where he organized his first orchestra after friends had learned that he had studied at the Combs Conservatory in Philadel- phia. This first Garber band was a three-piece ensemble which featur- ed Jan’s clowning and red-hot jazz. After 1930 the Garber offerings changed to the sweeter side. The personnel is as follows: A1 Powers, George Fortier, Jerry Large, Freddie Large, saxophones; Muddy Berry, drums; Charles Ford, bass; Buddy Wallace, Jack Barrow, trombones; Norman Donohue, trum- pet; Fritz Heilbron, trumpet and vocals; Jack Swift, vocals, and Jan Garber, front. To date the Garber band has played at many hotels and ball- rooms, including the Blackhawk, the Trianon and the Palmer House in Chicago, the Catalina Island Ca- sino and Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, and the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. • Jan is now on an extended tour of the Middle West. The Garber band’s theme song is “My Dear,” written by little Fred- die Large, saxaphonist with the orchestra. H0-H1 LIFE Page Three The Snooper was in a critical mood, so we looked about for some- thing or someone to pick on. Now this locker business is something we can safely find fault with. There aren’t enough lockers in the first place. In the second place, most of us can’t keep them locked because we do not have keys and cannot buy them once they are lost. Spoil- ing for a fight, we began the investi- gation of the situation. We got an explanation, even if we didn’t get better lockers and keys. New lock- ers were ordered this fall, but the “dirty little Japs” delayed their de- livery. Finally they were melted and used to make guns, so we do without new lockers. The key bus- iness follows the same tune. A new machine for the stamping and cutting of keys right here in the school was obtained, but war has prevented the purchase of key blanks. We are the victims of cir- cumstances, but wait until the war is over! � The Snooper maintains that the iron railings at walk corners in front of the building are unsightly. It seems in order to suggest that someone, say the Senior Class, un- dertake the program of providing some evergreens. The shrubbery would improve the looks of the front of the school and at the same time would protect the lawns. Sur- plus class funds would do the job if the class so willed. A little dec- oration goes a long way to make a house a home. How about a build- ing becoming “our” school? Day Drea ming: We practiced eat- ing and writing with a strap around our wrist after listening to the “convo” speaker last week. The stage is the next stop. . . . We opine warm spring weather is “guys and gals” weather. . . . Band rang the bell again, and for sweet charity at the same time. . . . Track team is tough. Watch ’em go. . . . Senior play Friday and Saturday. Got your date? .... Which reminds us that dateless juniors and seniors should mark their check list and get a mu- tually acceptable date for the prom. .... Oh Boy! We have a golf team, a big schedule and a “super” coach in Mr. Garver. . . . How did mamma and papa receive your grade card yesterday? .... Well, We’ll see you in the seventh period class unless you’re good. S’long. Eleanor Smythe: Why do you wear glasses? Doris Otto: Because my eyes are weak. Eleanor Smythe: Where’s your glass hat? CLASS OF ‘45 TO SPONSOR ORIENTATION DAY APRIL 30 Approximately two hundred stu- dents who will be freshmen in Ho- bart High School next fall will be the guests of the Class of ’45 Thurs- day, April 30. Pupils who will en- ter from the New Chicago, St. Brid- get and Lutheran Schools and from Hobart Junior High School will be guests at this Orientation Day pro- gram. Jean Gordon and Lowell Enslen, both of the Class of ’45, are in charge of invitations, and the entire freshman class, together with their sponsors, are working on plans for the orientation. Lowell Enslen, Gloria Brahst, Frankie Martino and Jean Gordon, accompanied by Miss McKenna, visited the St. Bridget and Luth- eran Schools Wednesday, April 8, and Friday, April 10, respectively. This group explained plans for the Orientation Day. Frankie Martino extended invi- tations to the boys to attend a Hi-Y rally, while Gloria Brahst invited the girls to a May Day Tea, both of which functions will be after school Thursday, April 30. The same committee visited the New Chicago School Wednesday, April 15. Seventh Grade students are plan- ning a similar Junior High School Orientation Day to be held early in May for Sixth Grade students. Jr. Hi Math Club members will be hosts at an informal party for Sixth Grade students from West Hobart and Mundell Schools and from Miss Murray’s room in the Central Building. HOME ROOM CHAIRMEN MAKE PLANS FOR FINAL 6 WEEKS On Thursday, April 16, home room chairmen for the last six weeks met in Room 308 with Miss McKenna. Guidance features for the last 6 weeks, whose theme will be “Leisure Time and Summer Ser- vice,” are as follows: Intelligence tests for grades 7, 9, 11. Achievement tests in reading and arithmetic for grade 8. Aptitude tests for grades 10 and 12 . Mothers’ Day programs— Week of May 3.

Class programs for students who earned awards during the year. Final Spring outing of each home room. 1st Cannibal: Am I late for din- ner? 2nd Cannibal: Yes, everyone’s eaten. SCHOOL CITY COUNCIL Reminding all students! Remind- ing all students! Student govern- ment officials wish to remind all students that they are subject to prosecution by the student govern- ment if they cut across the school lawns or prove guilty of any other form of misbehavior during school hours. Another reminder from the gov- erning council concerns the “squeak box” located in the Assembly. Don’t forget to drop into this box any complaints you may have concern- ing school problems. The slips need not have a signature. Student government officials will meet each Friday after school in- stead of during the lunch hour on Thursdays, as they have been meet- ing. LIBRARIANS’ CLUB Plans for a Mothers’ Tea and Sen- ior Farewell, to be held Friday, May 15, kept busy the members of the Librarians Club Monday, April 19, at their regular meeting. The theme for the Library for the next few weeks will be “Personal- ity.” Also there will be hints con- cerning “Prom Doings” and “Proper Etiquette.” DEFENSE STAMP SALES Number Per Of Total Capita Room Students Sales Sales 104 27 $78.10 $2,893 210 31 34.60 1.116 302 36 23.50 .653 307 49 17.25 .352 313 80 13.95 .174 304 32 4.80 .150 306 38 4.80 .126 105 24 2.75 .115 303 35 3.85 .110 205 28 3.00 .107 211 29 2.60 .090 310 29 2.40 .085 301 33 1.85 .056 206 28 1.35 .048 212 28 1.00 .036 305 28 1.00 .036 108 11 .30 .027 204 27 .25 .009 208 27 .00 .000 213 29 .00 .000 106 20 .00 .000 102 29 .00 .000 207 27 3.45 .128 Chief Officer: What would you do if your gun captain were killed in the midst of a battle?

The Brickies short-pants lads piled up a 21 point margin in vic- tory as they led the field of six schools with a total of 74 points. Valparaiso was runner-up with 53 points, while the host school came in third with 47 points. Portage with 33 points, Chesterton with 15 points and Knox with 11 points fi- nished in the lower division. Team balance and individual power again was the key word of victory as the squad placed in every event on the program. Lewis Rose, speed demon of the team, took indi- vidual honors with first’s in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. He also placed second in the broad jump. Ray “Cy” Ciszek was second with first in the 440-yard dash and second in the 100-yard sprint. Other first place victories for Ho- bart were racked up by Wilbur ‘ Leaping Lena” Howell in the broad jump. His mark of 21 feet 3!4 inches is the best made in the district this year. The 880-yard relay team (Ciszek, Kazlauski, Truett, Rose) also turned in a top performance, winning in the time of 1:39.2. This afternoon the team will travel to Michigan City for a dual meet. Friday afternoon the team will vie for Chesterton Relay honors, climaxing their week’s work on Sat- urday when they go to the Knox Relays.

One of their recent trips included a concert at Merrillville last Thurs- day, April 23. This was an ex- change program which featured Merrillville’s A Capella Choir here some weeks ago. The Band play- ed their contest numbers and also featured several members as solo- ists. Bob Balitz and Don McCath- ren “wowed ' em” with. “The Two Little Bullfinches” (incidentally, did you ever hear those two guys play? If you happen to catch Mr. Ebbs in the right mood he might iust come right out and admit that he thinks there aren’t two better first chair clarinet players any- where in the country — or shouldn’t we have spilled that, Frederico?) “Chuck” Hamilton also brought the house down with his tuba solo, “Barbarrosa.” On the way back from Merrillville, the Band stopped at the Lew Wallace Auditorium and had a picture taken. The State Contest at Michigan City promises to be one of the toughest Indiana State Contests in many years. Since there is no Na- tional Contest this year, many of the bands which formerly went direct will be competing in the State. There will also be several former Class A schools in this con- test because their enrollments have drooped sufficiently to put them back into Class B. The Band will have plenty of competition and as usual will have to work hard to gain a good rating. The School and community is depending on them to come through with flying colors. Incidentally, some of the student body might be surprised to find out how interesting a Band Contest really is. Director Frederick Ebbs told your reporter that there would be three contests going on at the same time, and that anyone should be able to find some event which (Continued on page 5) Senior Actors Score Hits In Class Play MYSTERY-COMEDY PRODUCES SURPRISES, THRILLS, LAUGHS Mystery, melodrama and mirth were all cleverly interwoven with an array of talent from the Senior Class to produce the madcap drama “It Happened at Midnight” Friday and Saturday nights, April 24 and 25, in the Roosevelt Gymnasium. The scenes were set in an old, de- serted house on a lonely country road about twenty miles from New York City. Within the portals many strange and unpredictable things came to pass. This forsaken house served as a temporary hideout for Madame Zonga, leader of a spy ring, and her colleagues, Kumzoff, who had a mania for kiling people, Putzoff, a smooth character, and Hatti Mara, a very pretty spy. Ah, but there was someone in the house! Sylvia Turner, (played by Pattie Moon), the sister of a govern- ment agent, was held there as the captive of these dangerous spies, who hoped that she would reveal the location of the blueprints for a new type of bomber plane. As the fifth columnists were about to resort to force, Robin J. Hood, (Robert Sizemore), a young writer, and his colored valet, Hemingway, made an unexpected appearance. Hood had hoped to find seclusion in this house so he jcould write 6,000 words of a novel before his dead- line, which was a mere 48 hours away. Lest he should grow suspi- cious of the activities in the house- hold, Madame Zonga, played by Evelyn Adams, told him her com- panions were all mental cases in her care, and that she was housing them there temporarily. Further complications arose when Robin’s fiancee, Winona Smythe, and her mother, Mrs. A. Bilington Smythe (Dorothy Foreman), an ec- centric blueblood, came to the house to find Robin. Drifting in and out of the various rooms from time to time was Elise Duheney, a spiritu- alist medium trying always to con- tact her spirit, “Burpee.” Revolvers passed back and forth, with the spies and then the Ameri- cans alternately gaining control of the situation. Hood finally was con- (Contlnued on page 6) Page Two Hobart High School. Hobart. Indiana t Edited, Published, and Printed By the Journalism Class Subscription Rates Per Tear: Local COc; by mall 80c.

At a meeting of the club Thurs- day, April 23, Elaine Reisinger led a discussion of the show. The club’s last meeting of the year will be on May 14. TRAFFIC SQUAD Springtime means baseball time to most Americans, and Ho-Hi Traf- fic Squad members are no excep- tion. At their meeting Tuesday, April 21, these boys discussed plans for attending a baseball game in Chicago a little later in the spring. They hope to get another club to go along to share transportation ex- penses. Anyone interested should consult Norman Christiansen or Mr. McClelland.

Hobart’s men collected 58% points to Roosevelt’s 50 % points. Lewis Rose, scoring first in the 100-yard dash, second in the 220- yard dash and broad jump, and third in the 440-yard dash, amassed a total of 11 points to be top scorer for the Brickie squad. Other Hobart boys receiving first place rankings included Jack Tay- lor, shot put; Wilbur Howell, broad jump; Wallace Drummond, pole vault, and the mile relay team, composed of Richard Welton, Adolf Leszczynski, Bob Lautzenhiser and A1 Ritter. Incidentally, this com- bination outran the Roosevelt run- ners by a slender one-foot margin. The highlight of the meet was the high jump, in which Owens and Brown of Roosevelt tied for first place, jumping 6 feet, 1 % inches. TrUett of Hobart and Smith of Roosevelt tied for third place with jumps of 5 feet, lOVfe inches. This meet gave Roosevelt its first defeat in dual track competition in three years, and the win is consid- ered quite a feather in the Brickies’ cap, for Roosevelt’s lads have been predicted to be the coming city champions of Gary, since they are doped to win the Gary City Meet to be held at Horace Mann Tuesday, May 5.

We shall have to gather some more “info” on this lad named Chuck Warner . . . Perhaps we should see Joan Julian, perhaps, maybe, huh? ? Hey, Janet, is it true that you and Lowell are going steady? Many have gathered the opinion that you two are. Have you heard about the new “date club?” There are 18 mem- bers so far. The first meeting was Sunday; April 19. For further in- formation, see the club president, “Bobby Boy” or “Sally Girl.” Edna June, you seem to be pretty much interested in East Gary. Could it be because of Evan Davis? Jo Sullens and Chuck Flick are .... well, anyway, she’s getting his ring. . % . or have you it now, Jo? Melvin Shultz and Betty are ra- ther undecided. Come on, you kids, and make up.

He did his best to outwit the spies, but he did not tell the Smythes of the situation. Final- ly a government agent came to the rescue, but even this help proved futile when two additional spies arrived to foil what seemed smooth- running plans. The spiritualist me- dium saved the day finally when s he effected a blackout at a critical moment and drew a gun on the assembly of spies. She then reveal- ed herself as a government agent who had been guarding the bomber plans. This solved the mystery angle, but there still remained romance. Robin and Sylvia finally got to- gether after a great many difficul- ties, not the least of which was Robin’s escaping the clutches of Winona’s mother. Winona and Robin never had been in love, and Winona had become interested in the government agent, Frank Tur- ner, who was ecstatic when he heard that her engaggement to Robin had been broken. The cast worked together as a smooth-running unit tovproduce a finished performance. Helen Walter as the medium and A1 Ritter as the colored valet were particularly bril- liant in their portrayals. Mr. Miller, who, assisted by his wife, coached, the production, stat- ed, “Mrs. Miller and I have never worked with a more cooperative group of players.

How about follow- ing the Band to Michigan City? Thursday and Friday, May 14 and 15, the Band will leave bright and early for their first tour concert at Columbia City. In the afternoon, they will play at Mr. Garver’s home town, Union City, Indiana, and in the evening at Ball State Teachers’ College in Muncie, Ind- iana. Everyone will be “farmed out” to the homes of the Burris High School Band members — say, that sounds good — for the night and next morning’s breakfast. On Fri- day, it will be Elwood in the morn- ing, Indianapolis Manual Training Tech in the afternoon, and the eve- ning concert is as yet undecided. All in all, we should have a very tired but happy Band back home in Ho- bart early Saturday morning. Well, good luck, gang, and keep those sixteenth notes flying.

VII HO-HI BAND RETAINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP HOBART IS ONLY CITY TO RECEIVE DIVISON ONE RANKING They did it again! After twelve years of contest participation in which they have won every con- test entered, the Hobart High School Band boosted their prestige another notch by landing all alone in first division in the State Band Contest held Saturday, May 2, at Michigan City. This is the first time that this particular honor has come to the band since Mr. Rev- elli’s 1933 band won this rarely- given decision in Evansville. Judges for the contest at Michi- gan City were William Revelli, for- mer conductor of the Hobart Band and now director of the University of Michigan Band; Mark Hindsley, assistant band director at the Uni- versity of Illinois, and Merle Isaacs, orchestra director at Marshall High School in Chicago. Mr. Revelli praised the band for their tone,, intonation, technique and general musicianship. Mr. Isaacs listed the band’s outstanding strong points as tone quality, in- tonation, ensemble, balance, musi- cianship and capable leadership. Mr. Hindsley said the performance was practically flawless, outstand- ing technically and musically, and a good personification of perfection. At the evening marching contest officials asked the Hobart Band to play a half-hour outdoor concert to start the show. FIRST CLASS JR. BAND TOO No less worthy of praise is the Hobart Junior Band, which also rated a first division in the state contest, along with Elkhart and Michigan City. Judges declared the group a superlative band in all respects, no fundamentals overlook- ed, with excellent individual musi- cians — soundly trained and con- ducted. Both bands arrived home shortly before midnight after the contest Saturday to find a royal welcome awaiting them and their director, Frederick Ebbs, from band parents and other loyal followers in the community. HOBART, INDIANA, MAY 13, 1942 NO. 25 PROM DANCE COUPLES KRETZMANN WILL CIVE UNDER STARRY CEILING AT MARQUETTE FRIDAY In an elaborate “Stardust” sett- ing 139 students, faculty members and guests danced to the music of Ted Nering’s orchestra at the Ho- bart High School Junior-Senior Prom Friday night, May 8, at the Marquette Park Pavilion. Hundreds of silver foil stars form- ed a false ceiling for the entire ball- room, and through this ceiling glowed blue and red lights from the chandeliers above. Above the French doors windows were draped with midnight blue crepe paper splattered with silver stars. These drapes alternated between upright and inverted V-shapes. In the cen- ter of each hung a large silver foil star. This same crepe paper, sup- plementd by foil stars, adorned the orchestra stand. The refreshments table was particularly attractive with white covering and full skirt of blue crepe paper, upon which were scattered vari-colored metal- lic stars. Crystal candle holders with blue and silver stars around the bases held blue tapers sprinkled with silver stars. Figures of a boy and girl silhouetted in blue sat in silver crescents which lay on the serving table, from which were served punch, mints, and star- shaped cookies sprinkled with col- ored blue sugar. Programs were made of blue met- allic paper, and on the front cover (Continued on page 7) REV.

Hobart High School’s student body and faculty members all have just cause to be proud of this sea- son’s track and field team. The re- cord of the team’s performance thus far this year has surprised any pre- vious season’s performance in the history of this school. The young men who achieve their sporting greatness by creating re- cords of speed, height or distance Eire measured by the most inexor- able of all standards — the ticking hand of a split-second stop watch and the exact fractions of a steel COOPERATION GETS THE WORK DONE ENTERTAINERS’ LEAGUE GIVES “MISS AMERICA’’ WILL VISIT PLAY FOR AINSWORTH P. T. A IN CROWN POINT THIS WEEK measure. It has been known to happen that football players here and there have received all-American honors be- cause of performances made possi- ble by a teammate’s work. A base- ball player setting a batting mark often has collected several valuable hits because the opponents’ pitcher was having a bad day or because some outfielder was too slow to catch flies that might have handled. But when Gregory Rice or Camp- bell Kane or even a high school freshman goes into action on _ the track or in the field, he is strictly on his own. There is no bewildering code of artificial rules, there is no umpire’s decision to hamper a race. A track man will not win a battle against the stop-watch or measur- ing tape by anv means other than by his own speed, stamina and cour- age. There is no opinion involved in a stop-watch’s decision. Therefore we offer to Coach Kurth and to every member of his cinder squad our heartiest congra- tulations for the showing they have made this year and our sincerest appreciation for the honors they have brought to Hobart High School. Bully For Yon The politician was finishing up an oration before the P. T. A. members. “Our school children should be sup- plied with free milk every day,’’ he shouted. “We’ll have to take the bull by the horns and demand it.” “Don’t Feed the Animals” was the title of a one-act play presented by members of the Entertainers’ League for the Ains ' ivorth P. T. A. Wednesday evening, May 6. Lowell Enslen served as master of cere- monies, and Charles Ray gave a humorous reading. Members of the P. T. A. group provided musical se- lections.

HO-HI LIFE BUILDING TRADES BOYS GET WIDE EXPERIENCE, RENDER VALUABLE SERVICE DURING YEAR As an incidental accompaniment to their learning various types of assembling and construction and use of many kinds of tools, Mr. Pound’s twenty Building Trades boys this year have rendered sev- eral bits of extremely valuable ser- vice to the school system and to the community. Practically all their instruction was planned so that it could be put into practical use im- mediately. Students and teachers of Ho-Hi are familiar with the boys’ smiling faces, tapping hammers and skillful hands, and they know many of the contributions the boys have made toward the physical improvement of the school and its equipment. But your Ho-Hi reporter thought perhaps a complete summary of jobs done might be interesting here at the close of the year. According- ly we submit below a list of things constructed and repaired by the class members during this school year. They built and repaired football bleachers, changed locks on lock- ers built supply lockers for ath- letic equipme nt, made medicine cabinets for the various school buildings, made coat racks for the New Addition, built the counter for tv p Brickie Sugar Bowl, made a football score board and painted the goal posts on the Athletic Field. In addition they enclosed and wired the entrance to the West Ho- bart School and laid sidewalks ] Orientation of 8-A students of Hohart Junior High, Lutheran, St. Bridget and Franklin schools was held Thursday, April 30, under the direction of the H. H. S. and the Hi-Y Clubs. There was a program for the en- tertainment of the pupils in the Assembly during the home room period, with Frankie Martino act- ing as master of ceremonies and announcing the following program: Welcome Address Supt.

It was the Building Trades work- ers who wired and installed the in- ter-office communication system and also the public address system from the principal’s office to all classrooms (38 units in all), put the blackboard in the New Addition, built an outdoor toilet at West Ho- bart, built and installed storage cabinets for Mundell and for the Music Room in the New Addition, and made drawing boards for the Art Department. Other activities have included the construction of first aid stretchers and splints, the construction of a blackboard for the Red Cross, the building of forms for concrete posts, the refinishing of drawing tables, the building of several wall storage cabinets and book shelves for var- ious buildings and rooms, the mak- ing of cement posts for city street markers, the making of seats for the football bleachers, the installa- tion of a window ventilator in the Roosevelt Building and the con- ! struction of a library cart. the freshmen visited classes throughout the day and witnessed the methods and procedure of a day in High School. To close the day the 8-A girls were entertained at a tea given by the H. H. S. Club in the Recreation Room at 4 p. m. The program was as follows: Ruth Rosenbaum Mistress of Ceremonies Olive Boudrot, President of H. H. S. Club Welcome Laura Kipper — Lutheran School Acceptance Mary Killigrew — St. Bridget Ac- ceptance Mary Logee — Franklin School Acceptance Lorraine Trager and Rosemary Florios contributed to the program with piano solos, and Kathryn Markwood sang a solo.

The day came to a close with dancing and the serving of refreshments. Page Three 4-H LEADERS ATTEND LAKE COUNTY MEETING Five Hobart High School girls at- tended a meeting of the Lake Coun- ty 4-H Club leaders and junior leaders at Crown Point Friday af- ternoon, May 1. Miss McMurtry, sponsor of the Hobart group, ac- companied the following girls, who are junior leaders: Faith Grabill, Pauline Moll, Daphne Beerbower, Betty Blakeman and Jean Shults. The meeting, which was held in the Criminal Court Building in Crown Point, was for the purpose of dis- cussing . the program for the ap- proaching summer. A representative from Purdue University outlined changes in the work requirements for the organi- zation. Emphasis in the sewing di- vision will be on made-overs and upon more careful selection of mat- erials. Requirements for the cook- ing division will be on more baking of bread and less of cakes, pies and other sweets. There will be an in- crease in home canning require- ments, too. 4-H exhibits will be of shorter duration than heretofore in order that food exhibited may be taken home and used after being display- ed. All cakes for exhibition pur- poses are to be without icing. The Purdue representative announced too that a new 4-H recipe book feat- uring sugarless recipes will be out soon. Hobart’s 4-H Club enrollment for the ensuing year is the largest in Lake County, with membership numbering 125 girls.

Al- though the boys have been shoot- ing consistently good golf all sea- son, they have had the ill fortune to be just a few points behind in most of their matches. In this tourney, however, which was held at the Youche Country Club in Crown Point and in which they engaged in medal play, they amassed a team score of 534, which was barely ahead of Crown Point’s 538 and comfortably ahead of Lo- well’s 579. Griffith and Chesterton did not enter teams. Ralph Spoor was low scorer for Hobart, shooting an 80, as did also Crown Point’s low scorer, Knight. Other scores of Hobart players were Wineinger, 86; Cicillian, 88; Kaso- novich, 89; Trzeciak, 95, and Mason, 96.

SOPHOMORES FETE MOTHERS AT HOME ROOM PROGRAM At a Mother’s Day program given by all the sophomore home rooms in the Recreation Room Friday morning, May 8, the following pro gram was presented, having been planned by Shirley Kisela: Group singing of “America,” led by Faith Grabill Prayer Rev. William Bleam Mother’s Day Proclamation Vocal solo — “Little Old Lary” Faith Grabill Poem — “Mothers” Bill Dickson Sermon Rev. Bleam Group singing of “God Bless Am- erica” Reading — “The White Carnation” _ , Juanita Hall Benediction Rev. Bleam Hobart’s Brickie thinclads suc- cessfully defended their track and field crown of the “Little Five” con- ference Tuesday, May 5, when they compiled a grand total of 78 points to control the championship honors for the second consecutive year. Lowell took second place with 40 points, Griffith third with 30 points, Chesterton fourth with 11 points and Crown Point fifth with 6 points. New records joined the books, set by Ray Ciszek in the 440-yard dash, Bill Truett in the high jump, Albert Kazlauski in low hurdles and Lewis Rose in the 220-yard dash. McClellan of Lowell bested Larry Findley to set a new half- mile mark. Brickies added other champion- ship trophies Friday and Saturday, May 1 and 2, when the fleet-footed Ho-Hi thinlies captured the Chest- erton Relays and Knox Relays titles for the first time in the school’s his- tory. In copping every track and field carnival entered during the outdoor season, the current aggregation of cinder stars set a new mark for fu- ture Hobart track and field teams to compete for. As a result of their victories, the team won four beautiful team tro- phies and three relay trophies. These awards will grace the trophy case as a mark of success unequal- ed by any former Hobart track and field team. Saturday, May 16, in the Gary Sectionals, several local athletes have a good opportunity- of placing for positions that would take them to Indianapolis for the state meet, according to Coach Kurth. Last year Delos Brooks carried the Brickie colors to the “big meet” when he won first place in the 200- yard low hurdles in the sectional meet. His attempt to score in the BOYS’ GYM CLASSES TO HOLD INTER-CLASS COMPETITION Coaches Kurth and Moore have been putting their Junior High and Senior High gym classes through track and field events to determine the champions of the physical edu- cation classes. These class champions will com- pete in an inter-class meet, out of which will come the cinder champs of all the gym classes. Formal Dance He, angrily: “Next time you dance with that highstepping gigolo, tell him to stop kissing you.” She, laughingly: “Tell him your- self. He’s a perfect stranger to me.” Thelma D.: “Did you know they were rationing pop-corn?” Josephine S.: “Why?” Thelma D.: “Because they need all the “kernels” for the army.” state competition was unsuccessful Only two former Hobart boys have ever scored in a state final track and field meet. They were Eric Carlson in 1906, when he won the hammer throw with a toss of 134 feet, 314 inches (this event has since been discontinued) and Fran- cis Tromble, who placed second in the shot put in 1939.

Page Six HO-HI LIFE Visitors in Junior High School Friday, May 1, were John Everet and Elmer Williams. The boys are now attending Horace Mann School in Gary and were very glad to see their former teachers and class- mates. Something new has been added! Delores Lightfoot, Seventh Grade student, has entered Junior High from Riley School. From authentic authorities such as Lyttleton B. P. Gould, who is as- sisting the navy in an effort to in- crease instruction of science and mathematics in the nation’s schools, we hear that simple arithmetic problems and exams are too tough for the average recruit for the U. S. Navy. Such exams as they are giv- ing should have been mastered by seventh and eighth grade students, he says. A 96-problem math test, the same one that was given to the naval re- cruits in Chicago, appeared recently in the Chicago Tribune, together with the recruits’ average. Mr. Kastner gave this test to his 128 7B and 7A students over a per- iod of 87 minutes, and the students have their scores recorded on a chart in Room 303. Bob Gulledge and Bruce Scott tied for first place, and Albert Harrigan and Arthur Hamilton tied for second. Mr. Kastner says he plans to give the same test again the last week of school, so. Seventh Graders — Pre- pare! It is interesting to observe the outcome of this test. The averages are as follows: Chicago Naval Re- cruits — 44%; Hobart Entire 7 A boys— 45.57%; Hobart 7A-1— 51%; Hobart 7A-2 — 42%; and Hobart 7A-3 — 36%. GLENN’S CLOTHES ARE SMART AND PRICED TO FIT YOUR PURSE Glenn’s Toggery “SWEET DREAMS” MEAN NIGHTMARES TO FACULTY While students had a premature taste of vacation, Hobart teachers spent four days at hard labor Mon- day through Thursday, May 3-7, when they registered the city’s population for sugar rationing. There was a pretty steady stream of business at each of the three registration places, which were the Central, Mundell and West Hobart School Buildings. At Central two ladies strolled nonchalantly in at precisely 9 p. m. Thursday night — the absolute dead- line for registration. Fortunately, school teachers as a rule are equip- ped to show patience at critical mo- ments, but it does seem that even angels would have feared to tread into their midst at the zero hour after those four grueling days. But perhaps those two ladies will be rewarded by finding ants in their sugar when they do buy it. And in case some readers don’t believe the teachers had much to do during those four “vacation” days, may we quote figures? The total number of persons reg- istered in the city is 8,664, of which number 8,317 registrants were granted ration booklets. Of this total number the Central Building registered 5,228 persons and gave out 5,047 certificates or ration book- lets; Mundell registered 2,202 per- sons and distributed 2,110 booklets, and West Hobart had a total regi- stration of 1,234 persons, with 1,160 of those receiving booklets. We hope our pedagogues will have really “sweet dreams” for the next few nights, at least! Bowl for Your Health Hobart Bowling Alley Indiana Construction Material Co. Inc. GEORGE W.

Slam books and fads and pigtails They all went by in review. They were tried and passed on by V.hen something else was new. Bow ties, saddle shoes, and sloppy Joes Have seen their happy days; They are all worn out by now, But still go on their ways. Cf these ycu mustn ' t jest, The things you dreaded most: Book reports, essays, and final tests Of these you never boast. Ycu were out all week on dates; Suddenly you began to cram V.isdom into your thick skull Golly! Next week is exams! You caught up on sleep in assembly, Dreading every class, Mom ' s words still in your memory, My child you ' d better pass. The day the report cards came out You were in an awful plight; You told the boy in History class lee l I can ' t go out tonight. How you sat up with a start As All American walked down the aisle, Y.ishing with all your little heart He ' d look at you and smile. There ' s just one thing you can ' t forget; Playing hooky when the weather was fine. Next day you shook with fear, Y� aiting for your excuse in line. The notes you passed in Study Hall You ' d found your love at last! But alas! He found another maid. And it was a thing of the past. Your high school years were happy years: You found many friends so true; Memories of your friends in High Y ill follow your whole life through. Fun and laughter of your childhood days Mil comfort you as back you look. But your years in High will add glory to The pages of any book. As through life you Journey In sorrow, joy, or strife. You ' ll look back on the dear old school And the four best years of your life. So with regret you leave the school you love; You shed a tear and sigh; For soon you ' ll be Alumni of Dear old Hobart High.

There were murmured comments from our red headed Latin teacher that our fun loving antics would eventu- ally be our downfall; even she would admit, though, that scholastically we were taking our share of the honors. Our first class meeting as freshmen led us to the parting of the ways— -oh yes, for the size of the group made it necessary for our sponsor E. P. VMlliams to divide us into the classification of A ' s and Z ' s. The legislative body for the A ' s consisted of Bob Lautzenhiser , president; Dorothy Foreman, vice president; Frances Fleming, secretary; and Alice Greenlee, treasurer. For the Z ' s: Vivian Verplank, president; Cathern hoods, vice president. The first social function of the Z group was a howling success in the form of a Christmas party in the Assembly on December the ninteenth. Lembers of the class presented a varied program which included a two-reel comedy, a play, and music by two student bands. Sure ' n now let me tell you the A ' s went in for a bit of the wearing of the green as they celebrated good old St. Patricks day. uames, community singing, and dancing supplied the entertainment on that month of March in the Roosevelt Gym. It was during this year that the Student Supply Station was organized. It certainly was a relief not to have to loan pencils and paper to your neighbors in the classroom for from this station in the Assembly the students could buy the supplies needed for their school work. The spring term closed leaving us with a feeling that we were a very important part of H. H. S. WV «v vGC S c pVlcvhOf 1 ,| . ev� j c yed a.

The two groups got organized with a bang by electing the following officers; for the A group — Dorothy Foreman, president; Phyllis Hardman, vice president; Betty Harney, secretary; Stanley Leszczynski, treasurer. P’or the Z group Lorraine Reick was elected as president. Each group held a Roller Skating party at the Palace Rink in Hammond. The Sophomore A ' s held their ' s on November the fourth, the Sophomore Z ' s on February the twenty-fourth. The zealous class members for the most part, attended both parties. For some it marked their first attempt at skating on the hardwood, and who can for- get the fun had on the bus while being transported there and back? 34 In addition to these parties our class sponsored noon dances in the basement of the new addition. The money from these dances bought nev records for the school nickelodeon. Mr. V.illiams could hardly keep his plans for the surprise favors given at these to himself — remember the conic valentines? The Student Supply Station continued to serve the student body and its stock of merchandise was becoming more and more varied. The year closed leaving us facing a big year as juniors and with the second year Latin students breathing a sigh of relief. b i Itijmc n ' t o W u jt ' e. SU.cc e 5.

Buy a candy bar and Get your pencil with the basketball schedule became familiar cries as our campaign got under way. Then at Christmas time the orange sale kept us all busy. Five hundred and ten dozen was the final score — a record which has never been equaled or surpassed. But it wasn ' t all work, remember the fun we had at the matinee dances when V.ee billies bild Cats supplied the music’ And then, finally, THE PROM J On May the ninth we played host to the class of ' 41 at the annual junior and senicr prom, entering the Marquette Pavilion we found ourselves in a romantic setting of old colonial times. The music of Ted Nehring ' s orchestra, the fire- place corner, made us feel like the ladies and gentlemen of another generation. After the last dance was danced, the last favor passed out, and the last goodbye said, we left with a warm feeling of a job well done. Our Prom was a memorable success i The brief let-down after the excitement of preparing for and going to the prom was quickly ended by the picnic which the seniors gave in our honor, be gaily piled into trucks and buses that made their way to Marquette Park and there we entered into such games as baseball, tennis, and had general good fun in hiking along the waters edge. The years of ' 40 and ' 41 can never be forgotten for they were among the busiest and happiest of all our high school years. 35 SENIOR V.EEK Sunday, Kay 24, was the beginning of Senior Week. The week which was to finish all four years of our high school life. During the evening we donned our caps and gowns for the first tine and attended the baccalaureate exercises. Are there any of us who can ever forget the words of the kindly minister? His brief address made us feel that there was a distinct place in the world of today for us, the class of ' 42. Oh, my, but it was hard to get up on Monday morning, could it have been because we spent a great part of the night lying awake thinking of all the happy high school days we had spent together? The rest of the week didn ' t leave much spare time for reminiscing. Things started off with a bang as we gaily sheared off trouser legs, hemmed up simple gingham dress to a shocking height of 25 inches from the floor, and dusted off all of our childhood toys. The bigger the hair bows, and all-day suckers the happier we were. And of course, it was a disgrace to use any other means of trans- portation other than kiddy-cars and wagons. Jumping ropes and sling shots made it a hectic day for underclassmen, but it was generally agreed that Kid Day was one of the most hilariously funny days that K. H. S. has seen in the last fev; years. Variety is the spice of life, and contrast was prominent when we next appeared dressed in our very nicest manner for the Senior Breakfast. Need much more be said than, Mr. V.illiams was our speaker and wasn ' t it grand to have him talk to us again ? Well, pictures were taken, the picnic held, practices attended, and finally that all important night — Commencement. Somehow or other we had our diplomas, the tassels were on the other side of our caps, and proud parents were rushing up with their congratulations. Then we were all back in school putting our caps and gowns away. For the first time in four years we were all quiet as we stood together, it was Goodbye to a very happy life at Hobart High. ThE 1942 PROM Soft melodies and starlight descended around us as we attended our last prom. The theme of Stardust kept us in a world of dreams-come-true as we danced to the music of Ted Nering ' s orchestra in the ideal surroundings of the Marquette Park Pavil- lion. The fun of dancing was climaxed by the grand march which was led in the tradi- tional manner, by the junior and senior class presidents, Ethel and Lautzie with their partners. A perfect night was made complete by the clever favors which each couple received as they prepared to leave the pavillion. It was a wonderful prom. Junior Classmen, and thanks for a lovely time. SENIOR PLAY Spiest Fifth Columnists l Saboteurs! These gentry have been very much in the news recently. One can hardly pick up a newspaper these days without seeing ac- counts of their sinister activities. All of these lended much topical interest to the senior play, It Happened at Midnight . This smash hit dealt with spies, but it dealt with them in a farcieal and thoroughly hilarious manner; mixing chuckles with chills, guffaws with thrills, and high excitement with an evening of genuine imusement. It Happened at Midnight hit the high-water mark in local stage annals when the class of ' 42 presented it on April twenty- fourth and twenty-fifth. The cast consisted of Pat Moon as Sylvia Turner, Bob Sizemore as Robin J. Hood, Evelyn Adams as Madame Zonga, Alfred Ritter as Hemmlngway, Dorothy Foreman as Mrs. Smythe, Shirley Lankford as Winona Smythe, Paul Fleming as Kumzoff, George Vossberg as Putzoff, Marjorie Swiglebien as Hatl Marl, Junior Lautzenhiser as Frank Turner, Lois Kupkee as Kate Purdy, James Grinn as Abner Purdy, and Helen Walter as the medium who saved the day--2lise Duheny. 36 STUDENT GOVERNMENT . 38 THE PART OF THE GRADUATING SENIOR IN THE WORLD OF TODAY With the world in turmoil such as it has not experienced since the industrial revolution, giving advice to high school seniors is difficult indeed. However, some facts and principles stand out today as never before, and to these we must give earnest consideration. When the Thirteen Colonies separated from England our forefathers said: - _ _ to secure these rights govern- ments are instituted among men, deriving their Just powers from the consent of the governed. Today the world is in s titanic struggle to determine whether governments, in order to guarantee indivi- dual rights, shall be by the people. In totalitarian states youth are taught that they exist for the state alone— for the satisfaction of the ambitions of one man. V.e, however, believe that govern- ments are instituted in order to serve the individual, and particularly to safe- guard his rights. These two concepts are fundamental and they a: e irreconcilable. In fact, the ideal of freedom is so strong, and the desire to preserve our individual rights so deep, that we will undergo any sacrifice to win this struggle. There- fore, the first obligation of a high school graduate is to determine in what manner he can best serve his country in this war. For able-bodied young men not highly trained in some technical pursuit there can be but one answer. He must serve in some branch of our armed forces. Furthermore, he will be of maximum bene- fit to his country if he makes an effort to enter the tyre of service in which his aptitudes will be most useful. For each soldier, nevertheless, there must be nearly a score of workers on the farms, in the factories, and on ships at sea, in order to support him with food and the implements of war. Young women now graduating should there- fore consider very carefully whether they can best serve in the home, in munitions factories, or in other support- ing activities. Winning the war may well depend not so much on our fighting forces as upon our ability to equip the men and transport them to distant battle- fields. Finally, this conflict will some time have an end, and no matter what kind of world remains after the wanton des- truction of war, we must live in it. Even now we must be thinking very clearly about our part in shaping the destiny of the world that is to come. And to my way of thinking, youth, as al- ways, will be called upon not only to fight and produce, but to work for peace. But my faith is in you, the youth of one of the few re- maining free lands, for, with Emerson, I believe thst So nigh is grandeur to our dust. So near Is God to man. When Duty whispers low. Thou must. The youth replies, I car..! The Senior Class of 1942 occupies a unique position upon the occasion of the successful culmination of the public school education of it ' s members. Time and its concurrent changes have contrib- uted to the educational experience and modified the emotional state of those many of you who stand now upon the thres- hold of some rather momentous decisions. Beckoning you are the many responsibil- ities imposed upon you by a society strug- gling to survive threats of extinction from forces of tyranny. You have succeed- ed admirably in your efforts to gain the benefits of a secondary school education. You must endeavor to meet the larger pro- blems with greater determination. The advantages gained thus far will be in vain if the democracy under which tl ey have been attained is destroyed. The nation and society that has mace possible the finest education sny nation provides its youth may now expect of you the most valiant military participation; an industrious application to the cause of material production; and the creation of a national morale so essential to ul- timate victorv. Loyalty, patriotism and devotion to your country become now your most sacred duty. Discharge these ob- ligations with the some determination you have shown in your educational pursuits but with an increased fervor commensurate with the demands of the times. There can be no other verdict than victory when a free people stand united and determined in the cause of peace and justice. You as seniors have demonstrated your adaptability under new administrative pro- cedures, changed program, added curricular offerings, modified extracurricular sche- dule and the limited physical facilities resulting from increased enrollment. This adaptabilitv will be of inestimable value in the critical times ahead. 39 Graduation must not mean the end of your association with the institution, which, if it has served you well, should hold for you many pleasant memories and affections. Retain your interest and re- gard for the school. Demand that it grow and improve. Participate in its program. Have pride in its attainments and strive to understand its shortcomings. Give unstintingly of your talent and energy to your community and society. In such service lies avenues of further per- sonal growth. Defend your integrity and set the example of excellent character that all who know you will he thus in- spired. Anchor your faith in the Power whose hand shapes the destinies of men who labor and learn and strive to do His will. It is a distinct honor to say to you in behalf of the faculty and administra- tion, Well done, seniors. May success follow you always. Vie wish you every happiness.

CLUB 44 THE FRENCH CLUB THE LIBRARIANS 45 THE TRAFFIC SQUAD HI— Y 46 47 FOOTBALL The local pridders, after lo-iing a season of valuable experience in 1940, re- established their football pre’tiege among the smaller schools of this district through the season of ' 41. The Brickies started the season by playing Horace Mann of Gary, a school far out of Hobart ' s class. Although the Horse-Men met ferocious opposition from the inexperienced locals, they won by a comfortable margin of 27 points, holding their opponents scoreless. Hobart then traveled to Benton Harbor, ichigan where they encountered the yichigan State ' .hemps. The first half of the battle Benton Harbor had it ' all over ' our boys, but the Brickies came back in the second half to make a brilliant display of their powerful offence by threatening several time but scoreing only once. The final score, 33-7. The first home game of the season found the Brickies backed by more than a thousand fans that crowded the bleachers to watch tV e all important Kobart-Lowell game. At first it looked as though the Hobart elever was to enjoy its first vic- torv of the season, but the Red Devils gained a one point lead in the third quart- er and sustained that lead until the final pur was sourded. The score, Lowell 14, Hobart 13. The Ho-Hi rridders rot their first taste of victory at Griffith in a 19-0 victory when they defeated the Panthers through beautiful defensive and offensive operations. The next to fall before IIobart ' 3 crushing offense were the Bulldogs of Crown Point. Two beautiful runs by Lewis Rose highlighted the Hobart attack. The Brickies ' winning streak ended unexpectedly when the locals, not at all up to oar, lost a 13-7 battle at Valpo. Griffith, found the Brickies back in form and took a 20-0 beating on a rain soaked field. Valpo found it to be a different story when the Vikings met the local pigskin carriers the second time, for Hobart was out for revenge and the only thing close about this game was the score which was Hobart, 7 - Valpo, 00.00. With tears in their eyes and a strong determination to win in their hearts, four va r sitv seniors trotted out on the field to face Frobel for their last high school football game. The Brickies pushed the Blue Devils all over the field the first half, but were so disheartened by an BO yard touchdown run at the kickoff at the stert of the third period by an opponent, that the Brickies never regained their original form and dropped a 12-G decision. So ends the season of ' 41, but the era that started with it shall live in the annals of Hobart football for years to come. The New Deal that began with Mr. Kendall, Coaches Moore and Kurth, and the season of ' 41 shall prove to be invalu- able to athletics in the future, for under the New Deal the people of this comm- unity became conscious of the fine athletic teams that Hobart can produce bv their support . BASKETBALL On December 2, 1942 the high-geareo Brickies rolled over the Chesterton Maroons in their opening Hardwood tilt of the season, the final score being 37 to 28. The Brickie five, retaining their momentum, breezed past the Red Devils of Lowell, but were slowed down to a nip and tuck battle with Edison of East Gary. The Eagles came out on the short end of a 24-23 count. The Ho-Hi Cagers then hurdled the Panthers of Griffith on the Panther ' s own hardwood by a score of 21 to 17. Hobart ran Into considerable trouble when they tackled Merriville on the latter ' s floor. Ihe Pirates forced the Brickies into a double overtime only to see Hobart emerge as the victor of a 23-21 count. Hien, for their sixth and seventh straight victories, Edison of Gary was crushed twice 48 in succession by Eobart basketeers, once on our own floor and once again at the holiday tourney at Crown Point. Hobart had been undefeated up to this point, but were handed their first defeat in the semi-finals of the holiday tourney by the greatly improved Panthers of Griffith who, by the v;ay, copped the tourney title. Alfred Hitter, center of the Brickie quintet, was selected by the coaches and sports writers as the winner of one of the ten gold basketballs awarded to players of the various teams who participated in the holiday tournament. The Ilobart net-men downed their eighth victim by defeating V.estville and were just in reach of the little four title when they found the Crown Point Bull- dogs standing in their way and lost a heart-breaking 42 to 36 decision. The locals hit the winning trail again, adding four games to their victory belts by beating the Lowell, kedaryville, Korth Judson, and the Alumni teams in quick succession. Then Portage appeared on the scene, and the undefeated India ns scalped the Ilobart five 33 to 20. The Brickies regained their scalps two days later through a 36 to 29 victory over the Knox Red Skins. Vvirt also fell before the invading Brickie onslaught. Edison of East Jary avenged a former defeat by cut scoring the Brickies 45-32. The Brickie squad was found in better fom when they met the Chesterton karoons on the latter ' s floor, and gave them a 46-37 beating. Hobart then took on, in quick succession, it ' s two arch-rivals, Griffith and Crown Point. Griffith suffered a 39-32 defeat and two days later Hobart ended it ' s season in a blaze of glory, looking better than at anytime in the season. They beat Crown Point by a score of 45-34. The never say die spirit of the locals was vividly portrayed in the first game of the sectionals at East Chicago. The toys poured it on hot and heavy scoring 20 oo ints in a final quarter rally to nose cut the Red Devils of Lowell 44-40. The Brickies were forced out of the sectionals by Hammond High, whose long shots proved too much for Hobart. Although they played good ball, the Brickies lost by a 47 to 33 count. The season of 41-42 was the most imposing in Hobart ' s hardwood history. The team of 41-42 rolled up a total cf 17 wins as compared to 4 defeats. They won the little four championship honors.
