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.

BOOK NOOK “MEET THE WARRENS” If you, like many others, enjoy reading about typical American characters, you won’t need a sec- ond invitation to read a truly en- tertaining story, “Meet the War- rens.” The author, Lucy Hancock, writes here with the same skill and insight that characterized her re- cent popular “North Side Nurse.” “Meet the Warrens” is a story of the family life of John, the father; of Margaret, his capable wife; of Stephen, the banker whose wife Harriet (not a Warren) makes him toe the mark; of Melissa, who has been disappointed in love and is blindly endeavoring to reshape her life along strictly unemotional lines. . . . . and who would have succeed- ed except for a certain young phy- sician, Dr. Reed; of Ted, a vision- ary who wants very much to be a faimer; of Sally, Ted’s gay and ir- responsible wife; and of popular, headstrong Laura, who defies the entire family by marrying young Tom Kennedy, whom her father and brothers hate because of a long- standing family feud. Miss Hancock has presented these character-, with their ups and downs, their ins and outs, their love affairs and their qaurrels— all interwoven in admirable fashion into a story of typical American family life. If you’re interested, why not come along and ‘Meet the War- rens?” PET PEEVES Dorothy Oakley — Damp weather . . . “It takes all the curl out of my hair.” Nora Laurie — “Trying to keep my shoes clean.” June Jansen — Being rushed. Helen Mae Lennertz — “My little niece.” Bill Jordan: “He went blind from drinking coffee.” Joe: ‘Who ever heard of such a thing? How did it happen?” Bdl J.: “He left his spoon in the cup.” Have you ever tried word build- ing? What? You’ve never tried it? Well, here’s how it goes: Take S; add one letter to make a common exclamation; add two more letters to make something you find in the chimney; add four more let- ters to get a word meaning calm- ing. The word is S-O-O-T-HING. Now, try it with the letter A. Add one letter to get a boy’s nick- name; add two more to get some- thing that puckers up your lips; add four more letters to get a very fine metal. If you can’t figure it out, look at the bottom of this art- icle. Try now the letter E. Add two letters to form a girl ' s name: add one more to get an adverb: and add five letters to make a fir tree. Want to try it with B? Add one letter to form a verb: and two more now to get a vegetable; add still two more to get a bug. Begin with the letter T. Add a letter to get a preposition; add an- other letter to form a boy’s name; now add five more letters to form a common vegetable. Did you get stuck on any of them? Here are the answers: For the letter A A-L-UM-INUM. For the letter E E-VE-R-GREEN. For the letter B B-E-ET-LE. For the letter T T-O-M-ATOES. HINTS FOR HEALTH “An eye for an eye” is not a good motto, for if once you lose your sight, it can ' seldom be regained or restored. If you abuse your eyes or have trouble with them, they will warn you in some way. Heed the warn- ings you hear to watch out for headaches, eyeaches, watery eyes, blurred vision, inflammation of the eyelids, dizziness, a tired feeling when using the eyes, and swollen eyelids. Continual scowling and a tendency to hold work too far from or too near the eyes indicate that the eyes need attention. The wise thing to do upon notice of any of these symptoms is to con- sult your physician for advice. A periodic checkup of the eyes is a good thing to have regardless of whether or not you wear glasses, for even well-fitted glasses need adjustments rather often. BE STRAIGHT BABY RUTH was all a-flutter be- I cause it was SUNDAE and her i wedding day. MR. GOODBAR, her husband-to-bc, had not yet arrived. DR. I. Q., the minister, was not 1 worried because he had never been at a wedding where the bridegroom was on time.- The musicians, THE THREE -j MUSQUITEERS, were rehearsing - j by playing the PECAN ROLL. Fin- j ally the door bell rang, and there 1 was CLARK, MR. GOODBAR ' S brother, and JOLLY JACK, the 1 best man. They were carrying ! | MR. GOODBAR, who had fainted , I because he was so scared. Who t ' wouldn’t be? It was the first time j he had ever been married. BABY RUTH was beautifully dressed in a gown with SPOTS, -1 with a bouquet of BITTER SWEET NESTLED in her arms. THE 1 THREE MUSQUITEERS began the • wedding march — THE DIPSY. DOODLE, and down the aisle the bride and bridegroom did the TAN- GO. DR. I. Q. performed the wed- : ding ceremonies in which each vow- ed to the other to be FOREVER YOURS. After the ceremony, a de- licious CHICKEN DINNER and DENVER SANDWICHES wer . ser- ved. On the next day, which was MONDAE, MR. and MRS. GOOD- BAR climbed into WHIZ, the rock- et. and, with the help of the TRADE WINDS, arrived safely in MARS along the MILKY WAY. where they spent their BIT O’ HONEY mv on. Wh°n the honeymoon was over GOODBAR got a job at the POWER HOUSE. His first PAY DAY, on TUESDAE, enabled him to buy a little farm and seme stock. They fed their BLACK COW on SWEET CHOCOLATE so she would give MALTED MILK, but she gave MILK DUDS. They fed the THREE LITTLE PIGS— PLANTERS PEA- NUTS. All the brides DREAMS came true, for she h d her family of OH HENRY and IiERSHEY, their sons, and LADY BETSY, their daugther. They had a mail service to their door so their packages could all come C. O. D. But as all good things have to leave this earth, we must leave their little home and the KRACK- LE-ing fire, for they are now lying under the beautiful MOUNDS in the little town cemetery. — Dorothy Oakley Whenever you sit, And whenever you walk.
