HO-HI LIFE Page Three More Noise!” Urges Mr. Kendall “Come on now, students. . . you can yell louder than that!” Imagine students having to be encouraged to make more noise. . . and by their principal, of all per- sons! Of course the occasion for all this was Hobart High’s first pep session of the current school year, held Tuesday morning, September 23, on the football field during the activi- ties period. At this first assembly of the stud- ent body of Hobart Junior and Sen- ior High School, Mr. Kendall ex- tended a sincere welcome to all new teachers and students of Ho- Hi. Students were complimented on their splendid cooperation with the administration in regard to the new 50-minute periods, new regu- lations, and new teachers. Ho-Hi’s fighting Brickies were introduced to the student body by Mr. Kendall. These gridiron men have had two tough assignments to start off the football season. They made a very favorable showing in the Horace Mann-Hobart game, and, as Mr. Kendall stated, “In the last half of the Benton Harbor game, our boys looked as good as the oth- er team.” This is regarded as a feather in the Brickies’ caps, as only four of the boys have ever participated in interscholastic foot- ball before. Tryouts for yell leaders were held, with a foursome composed of Patty Moon, Shirley Haxton, Bob Sizemore, and Junior Lautzenhiser leading off, followed by individual tryouts on the part of Grace Dom- mer, Betty Gulledge, Marilyn Burk- man, and Gerald Rowley.

This contest marked the first of a series of home games to be staged under the floodlights of the Brickie football field. Starting Lineup HOBART LOWELL Roper RE Hayden Truett RT Brownell Kazlauski RG Peterson Shearer C McClellan Anderson LG Sark Murray LT Lehman Ciszek LE Combs Stephehs QB Randolph Howell RH Novak Rose LH Kalvaites Taylor FB Carlson Officials: Bergstrom, referee; H. Mantz, umpire; C. M cManus, lines- man; Bruce Mitchell, seorekeeper. Lowell’s halfback Novak scored both touchdowns and one of the extra points. Novak scored in the first and third quarters and added the winning point on a plunge fol- lowing his second touchdown. Rose scored for Hobart on a 35- yard off-tackle run in the second quarter and place-kicked the extra point for a 7-7 tie at the half. In the third quarter Hobart drove 50 yards on short plunges with Howell going over from 5 yards out and Rose missing the kick for the extra point to give Hobart a 13-7 lead. Stephens, speedy quarter- back for the Brickies, who suffered a slight injury, was replaced in the third quarter by “Bunker” Hill. Hobart’s excellent and stubborn defense kept the Red Devils on their toes. Lowell drove 35 yards late in the third period with Novak carrying the ball over from the 1- yard line. Brickies will journey to Griffith tonight for another tough battle. Coach Tommy Moore sounded op- timistic after the game, despite the loss. “We showed a great deal of improvement”, he said, “and we’re not going to lose many more games this year.” Coach Moore in his practice this week has stressed de- fensive work, particularly tackling.

Brush our teeth twice daily — it’s too much bother. 2. See your dentist at least twice a year — all he learned in six years of college was how to de- velop x-rays. 3. Remove tartar from your teeth — save it and use it wit! ' fi’h. 4. Eat any raw food — you re no cannibal. 5. Chew your food thoroughly— you’ve got a cast iron stomach. Do — | l. Use dental flo-s to catch fish — makes a good line. 2 Eat foods with p ' enty of sugar —you might be able to develop diabetes too. 3. Eat soft foods— then you won t have to chew so hard. 4. Use plenty of toothpicks — they’re especially good for jab- bing gums. . 5. If anv of these don t work just run into a brick wall, teeth first, every now’ and then. Did you know that the romance be- tween Frances Fleming and John- ny Sapper, ‘41 grad, is still ranging high? Girls, have you seen Cathern Woods’s beau? His name is Merrill Sorrick, and he’s a ‘40 grad of Hor- ace Mann. Watch out, Cathy! % Jean Zander has been seeing quite a bit of Charles King lately. . . . could this be a budding rom- ance? We wonder why Shirley Lank- ford is so happy? Could it be be- cause Warren is back in school? (Or is he?) A certain tall, dark, and hand- some Horace Mann grad of ‘39 -is tops with Mary McRitchie. Name? . . . James Marler. A1 Alliss, who is a new fellow at Hobart High, certainly is making a hit with the girls. ... Or at least he’s trying hard, for he stands in the girls’ locker room from 7:45 until 8 a. m. and from 12 until 1:10 p. m., just waiting and watching. Beware, you girls! G. Rowley still is looking to Mil- dred L. for action and romance. ■ What has happened to the once- budding romance between Fred Gordon and Grace Dommer? Mildred Kegebein has left her heart in Hammond, where it is safe in the hands of Tummy Conley. Cleo Mock and Joe Ronska have severed connections after going to- gether for eight whole months. Is : n because of a third party? Geneva Gaflord must have found the right one, for it’s been heard : that she is getting a ring for her j birthday. Nice going, Geneva.
