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.

Ho-Hi’s powerful grid machine crashed through with a spectacu- lar 18-6 victory Friday night, Octo- ber 10, when they clashed with the ferocious Bulldogs of Crown Point on the Brickie athletic field. Brickies were in complete com- mand of the entire game, with the exception of half of the third quar- ter, when the opposing team staged a brave comeback, which, however, proved futile in the final analysis. 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.
