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.

I build lighthous- es.” A Dab Of Gab Wasn’t that Russell S. whom we saw at a football game with Peggy B.? And isn’t it Marjorie Larson that we’ve been seeing riding with Bill Jordan during the noon hour? Why, Neal! Add new duets: Georgia Mae Smith and Bob Carlson, Mary Smith and James Wagoner.

Mary S. and Jimmy W. are show- ing an interest in each other. What does this mean? Is Ralph Spoor out in the cold again?

Harrigan Blanche Wlson Violet Radvell 1 1 Ij i n g a Cross-country is not merely a sport engaged in to determine win- ners, but, like many other sports, it offers a splendid opportunity to determine character. 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! A reader asks whether an editor is the person who puts things into a newspaper. . . . Land no! The edi- tor is the person who keeps things out of the paper! Mr. Miller: What direction does your house face? Wallace Riley: North and South. Alma Jackson: I think George Brent is darling. Blanche Wilson: So is John Payne. . , Dot Oakley: No. . . . Richard Dix. Robert Baile: Robert Baile! INQUIRING REPORTER WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IN MODERN HIGH SCHOOLS? 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 . . Oh no, he was straighter than many the mammal; But he thought it was cute to sprawl in his seat Without an intention of being neat. But he’s learned, my dear child, that it never pays To be slouchy and lazy in your post- ure these days. Won’t you stand up straight, Chest out and head high? Just look at “Hunched Joe,” And you’ll see why! — By Marjorie Huff WHAT’S GOOD POSTURE GOT THAT I HAVEN’T GOT? I am a person around the age of 16, and I work hard in school. I sit at my desk with my carcus spread all over. (This may be a comfort- able position, but you may not know it is ruining your posture). . . Now the boy next to me sits up straight in his seat. Seeing the good habit he has formed here, I have begun to do likewise. Why? Be- cause what that boy across from me has that I haveft’t is ... • Good Post- ure! SOPHOMORES CHOOSE OFFICERS Sophomore class elections held Monday, October 20, resulted in the acceptance of the following smte: Claude Choate, president; Horace Titus, vice-president; Marcella Johnson, secretary, and Dick John- son, treasurer. 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. Franken Meloney, with an avcur- ate knowledge and understanding . of the problems of the medical pro- ; fession, attempts to bring to the reader the story of those whose lives i are centered primarily in the realm j of medicine. „ , . — Ruth Schiess j KINDERGARTEN KIDDIES While the high school and junior high school students were busy studying and taking six weeks’ ex- aminations, the kindergarten child- ren were busy too. They were putting up a house on their stage. 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.

Page Four HO-HI LIFE SPORTS HASH Varsity runners on the Brickie cross-country team now have a rec- ord of three wins against two de- feats. Had there been a little more team balance, the Ho-Hi harriers would have had a clean slate. Loss- es were by margins of one and five points. Our football victory string was snapped after a winning streak of two straight. Brickies can still boost their gridiron record over the .500 per cent mark by crashing through victoriously in the last three home games. “Cy” Ciszek still holds the title of “Casanova of the football team.” Orchids to Mr. Pound for his splendid work as commentator at the home football games. Larry Findley and “Cy” Ciszek, ends, and Bill Truett, tackle, are the three Brickie warriors tied for the honor of having recovered the fumbles of opposing teams. Each boy has nabbed one muffed ball. There’s something about a foot- ball boy that’s simply captivating. How about it, girls? Froebel High of Gary replaces Til- Mr. Miller: What is your purpose in singing, Mary?

Incidentally, Froebel’s gridders and Ho-Hi’s Brickies were both handed a 27-0 defeat by Horace Mann of Gary. Consequently, this tussel can prove something. Come on, team, how about changing the complex- ion of this situation? It seeems that Coach Moore be- lieves in conservation. At any rate, he disapproved of the boys’ singing on the way over to Valpo the other night. Singing requires energy- and that’s what the boys needed plenty of during a heated Valpo game. Looking into the future, we see that the opening game of the bask- etball season is scheduled for Nov. 28, against Chesterton, and the sec- ond tilt on Dec. 5, with Lowell, both to be staged on the Brickie hard- wood. The third cage battle is to be with none other than Edison of East Gary, at East Gary. Well, students, ’nuf said — “Gbye now.” First Bride: Yes sir!

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.
