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.

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.
