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. Miss Yackee: Janice, I don’t be- lieve John cares to be strangled. Janice: But, Miss Yackee, he is my boy friend. After the fi r st fire drill, Tommy Kurth excitedly reported to his mother that “We all went to a fire drizzle today.” Soap: That which some people don’t use enough of. 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. . . . Well. I have to buzz off, so. . “G’bye, Now.” — Dot Oakley BIRTHDAYS OF THE MONTH October 1: Barbara Haworth, Betty Marler; 4: Audrey Andros, Kenneth Kasch; 5: Edward Biel, Juanita Hentschel, George Zupko; 6: Garnet Foreman, Lewis Jolliff; 7: John J.

VOL. VII HOBART, INOIANA, OCTOBER 21. 1941 NO! 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.

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. I am confident that the next game will show improvement.” Art Theater Tues. Wed. Joan Bennet Walter Pidgeon in Nan Hunt Thur. Fri.
