HO-HI LIFE Page Five There have been two recent Jun- ior High withdrawals. Kathryn Kleine, 8B student, has returned to Birmingham, Alabama, and Patricia Barrett, also an 8B student, is to at- tend the Liberty » Center School in Porter County. Jr. Hi social studies classes have been shown movies dealing with the Pueblo Indians and “Interde- pendence.” The 8B science classes seem to have gone in for star-gazing in a big way. During the home room periods, Mr. Garver has shown and explained to the students movies dealing with the stars and particu- larly with planets. The classes have been divided in- to groups which are sent out to Mr. Garver’s residence in the evening about 9:30 or 10 o’clock. Here they may witness the stars and planets through Mr. Garver’s telescope. Recently the students have been observing an unusual phenomenon which occurs annually, that of Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter, appearing with moons around them. Also they have seen the constellation known as the “Seven Sisters,” the excep- tionally blue star, Vega, and the star Persus The tentative date set for a visit by both classes to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is Tuesday, October 28.

Two and one-half hours of army life .... and then it was all over! Mr. Kastner went into Fort Ben- I jamin Harrison at about 2 o’clock Friday afternoon, October 24, and by 4:30 o’clock he was on the high- way, hitch-hiking to Muncie .... a free man, but financially embar- rassed. Army medicoes, after a due amount of thumping and jabbing, informed Mr. Kastner that his heart beats with such rapidity that even the army can’t use him. Ho- bart High School still can use him, however; so Mr. Kastner is ahead by a radio, shaving kit, etc., and Mr. Garver needn’t find a new teacher, the students will not have to make new adjustments . . . and everybody’s happy. Army officials instructed exam- inees not to bring much money with them. Mr. Kastner was obedient. As a result, he had to choose be- tween waiting until Monday for his free return ride, or hitch-hiking. After one Army meal, in which he ate something pink that was report- ed to be a relative of the turnip, he decided to hitch-hike. Random impressions reported by Mr. Kastner included: “Army boys seemed to be on WPA duty .... leaning on shovels and rakes .... .... Physical exams were conduct- ed in such a machine-like fashion, with approximately seventy men being examined within the course of about two and one-half hours, that I was neither impressed nor unimpressed by the Army doctors. .... I heard no bugles — only bus horns.” Indiana Construction Material Co. Inc. GEORGE W. BOND Builder Teach Your Dollars To Have More Cents! Come To Glenn ' s Toggery and Cleners Members of the first hour chorus class definitely are in the well- known groove. The six weeks’ per- iod just past was used for purposes of tuning vocal chords to perfec- tion. Friday of each week is re- served for songs of the class mem- bers’ choice. A skating party is in the offing, and all chorus members are looking forward to the event. Since only chorus students will participate, it is felt that no one should end up flat. Several of the band members are extending their music education by joining other musical organizations. During the summer Donald Mc- Cathern and Robert Baile played with the Gary Carillco Band, which won first place in Class “A” at the Chicago Music Festival and also at the contest at Riverview Park. A new organization is being form- ed in Gary at this time to be known as the Gary Civic Symphony Orch- estra. Arthur Zack, a noted cellist and composer-conductor, will con- duct the orchestra. Try-outs for those desiring to join the organization was held Tuesday night, October 14, in Gary, and two Hobart cornet players, Floyd Dem- mon and Robert Baile, passed the tests to become members of the group.

VOL. VII BAND WILL PRESENT FIFTEENTH CONCERT HOBART, INDIANA, NOVEMBER 11. 1941 ARMISTICE DAY , I They Gave Their Lives ! That Freedom Might Live NO 5 HOBART TO OBSERVE EDUCATION WEEK WEDNESDAY NIGHT PROGRAM TO INCLUDE ATTRACTIVE V ARIET Y As a part of the National Educa- tion Week activities, the Hobart High School Concert Band will present its fifteenth annual fall con- cert. The program is scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, at 8:00 p. m. at Roosevelt Gym and prom- ises to be a worthwhile evening of entertainment. First of all, it is supposed to be the first appearance of the band in the new uniforms which the Band Mother’s Club is purchasing for them. We say “supposed” because the delivery date is long past, and the uniforms have not appeared as yet. According to Mr. Ebbs, the defense program is slowing up this work, and the Band will just have to wait until the order comes through. Members hope that it will be very soon. Secondly, the band is featuring as soloists its two senior clarinet- ists, Robert Balitz and Don McCath- ren. These two boys will play a clever duct called “The Two Little Bullfinches.” And if you like that, they might be induced into playing that popular hit, “Clarinet Polka.” And let us tell you, .... they don’t poke around on either of these numbers. Since this is more or less a “Pop” Concert, the “Three Little Pigs” will perform for the audience to the tune of “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?” This number feat- ures various soloists and sections of the band in variations on the theme of the well known Disney hit-tune. Besides all this, you will hear Dvorak’s “Finale from the New World Symphony,” selections from “The Student Prince,” “Youth Triumphant Overture,” and many other familiar band numbers. Mr. Ebbs said that he expected several high school bands to attend this concert and that patrons will .have to come early to get a good seat. And don’t forget that Student Tickets are only 15c for the Fall Concert. JJrcciunu- JSofo (Hart HUc J§ mtre Jit? American Education Week is set apart as a time when Americans may visit their schools, examine them, and make suggestions for their betterment. We in America look upon our free system of pub- lic schools as the one guarantee of freedom from ignorance, freedom from oppression, and freedom from intolerance. In America we have come to real- ize that in order to hold fast to the heritage of freedom handed down to us, we must make every person aware of the dangers to which our country is exposed. Having done this, we must then train ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually to withstand these dangers. They may come from without in the form of actual physical force against us, or from within. In our own country today are those who would have us believe that we are too weak to govern ourselves, that it is useless to fight against the forces of tyran- ny. Some are even employed by foreign groups to so influence us that we will be unable- to resist if invasion comes from without. Our schools still remain as free institutions wherein our children can learn facts and skills unhinder - I ed by pressure groups, radicals, or intolerant self-seekers who would 1 array free Americans against each other. Bv visiting our schools and keeping abreast of modern educa- tional thought we can do our part to keep the schools, and through them the nation, free. NATION WILL HONOR SCHOOLS DURING WEEK OF NOVEM- BER -! 6 American ‘Education Week will be observed in the Hobart Schools in many ways. Tuesday is Armistice Day. It will be suitably observed with a program under the direction of Mr. Howard Yunker and Principal Wil- liam R. Kendall. At 8 o’clock on Tuesday even- ing Mr. Harlie Garver, superintend- ent of schools, will speak to the Central Parent-Teachers Associa- tion on “The Financial Problems of the Hobart Schools.” Very few cit- izens have a true picture of the manner in which funds to maintain our schools are raised and expend- ed. Mr. Garver will attempt to ans- wer these questions b£ giving school costs, sources of revenue, and com- parisons with nearby school sys- tems. Our school building problem will also be discussed. Mr. Garver will use several charts to illustrate his talk. The general public is especially invited to be present and learn the true condition of our schools from the financial stand- point. Wednesday marks the date of the first band concert of the winter sea- son. Hobart takes just pride in her outstanding musical organization, and an evening spent in this way will bring an appreciation of the high standard maintained and of the great effort required to reach such ' perfection. Thursday will be “visit your schools” day. On that day all pa- trons are urged to visit the schools, confer with teachers and officials, and make constructive suggestions. Teachers will also be in their rooms for consultation with parents prior ' to the P. T. A. meeting on Tuesday evening. The hour set for this per- iod is 7:30 to 8:00. Emphasis on the physical side of our development will come with the closing football game next Monday evening. Hobart is to be congrat- ulated upon the fine development of her physical education, health, and athletic departments, working un- der decided handicans of housing and space. The enthusiastic and loyal supoort of citizens has done much to further this effort.
