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.

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.

Man is like a worm: He comes along, wiggles for a while, and fin- ally some chicken gets him. — The Calumet Herald, Hammond H. S. Happiness is like jam, because you can’t spread it without getting a little on you. — Bob Bums Special Molds For Special Occasions HENDERSON ICECREAM CO, Phone 93 Your Satisfaction Is Our Joy Joy Cleaners Members of the Junior High Math Club enjoyed a skating party j at the Atlaw Skating Rink in Ches- terton on Wednesday, October 15. Chaperoning the group were Miss Warner, Mr. Golden, Mr. Morland, and the club sponsor, Mr. Kasrner. Approximately one hundred mem- bers were in attendance. 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. And why not? .... It’s not every teacher who has such accommoda- ting students. Earl Conlev, after much debate (with himself) has finally won the hand of fair Turner Twin, Joan. . . j And, speaking of twins,— Girls, have you seen those tall, blonde, handsome Swedish Shield twins? Mariellen Jolliff and Paul Welsh spell “Love in Bloom.” Jack Behrends isn’t doing so well this year with the girls. What’s wrong, Jack? Congratulations to the Junior High Math Club for having 130 members who have paid their dues. And speaking again of the Math Club, its members are going to be sorry indeed to lose Mr. Kastner as their sponsor. He has devoted a great deal of time and work to make the club’s functions bigger and better.

Best wishes from Ho-Hi Life! 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.
