1952 -53 MEMORIES Hobart High School Hobart, Indiana Dolores Distell, Editor-in-Chief Gordon Stech, Business Manager 3 3113 01072 3288 Life at Hobart High School is a good combina- tion of studies, clubs, sports, and activities. This has not just happened. A lot of foresight has been required to come up with this perfect blend of school magic to turn out students with well-rounded person- alities. Hobart High has gone further than many schools by not being content with just classroom imitation experiences, but has set up many practical projects for its students, in spite of the lack of capital, space, facilities, and many other things that might have hindered any other school. Careful guid- ance and thought have made Hobart High School students receivers of the best kind of education, even though it may not be the most expensive. That is Hobart High’s chief purpose: to turn out young men and women who are not only well-equipped mentally, but good citizens of whom it can be proud. TABLE OF CONTENTS • Introduction • Activities • Sports • Faculty • Classes Parents attending one of the most successful open houses ever held here seem much interested in machine shop display of projects made by the boys. Jerry Newman, senior, a top student, was one of those on hand to explain the work. Students who sign up for work experience hold conferences with Mr. Pound to discuss their jobs, the problems they face, and their ideas on a future career. Following their children’s schedules, parents line up at “lunch time” in the cafeteria where they were given refreshments. A mock election for national candidates was held in the government classes to familiarize the students with voting. Secret balloting is demon- strated w ' ith students acting as voting officials. What’s in a name? A group of enthusiastic campaigners went all out to back their candidate, Virgil Norris, by whitewashing side walks in an added effort to promote their candidate. It didn’t end there, however, for more effort yet was needed to remove the paint by scrubbing. To climax the campaigning for mayor and N ot t0 b e outdone, the Norris rooters’ car clerk treasurer, Carrol Kelley and Loretta Massa was „ ot as streamlined as Kelley’s, but it surely rode a gayly decorated car in a parade on the did catch a lot of people’s eyes, and maybe a day of the election few votes too. Two pairs of eyes meet in silent congratula- tions and acknowledgement. A glow of happiness and pride appears on the faces of Queen Sandy Scharhach and runner up Charlotte Turek. Homecoming Queen Sandra Scharhach is shown accompanied hy her court. Charlotte Turek and Annette Kagle. Bill Woods, representing the H-Men. crowned the queen and presented her and her court with roses. John Mosley and I hit Millus also acted as escorts. The Hallelujah Quartet with their varied song arrangements and their happy- go-lucky style made a hit with the student body. Taking movies is one of the most exciting activities that advanced photography provides. Here Henry Sanak, senior, is taking a movie of - the students for the first all-school carnival on March 27. Mr. Buell Crum and his illustrious panel offered plenty of fun and laughs in the typical style of “What’s My Line?” Many wide and varied occupations were presented by the guests. A group of seniors are admiring their newly- received sweat shirts. They seem to be pretty pleased with them don’t they? One of the highlights of the Parent-Teachers Association T.V. on Parade was the appearance of the choir portraying “The Pennsylvanians.” Many people were heard to say that Fred Waring himself would have been proud to hear their rendition of the old favorite “Clementine.” Mr. Wade Ambrose, Master Magician, performed for us at one of our special convocations. His escape trick from a straight jacket, his sensitivity of texture, and his dummy friend were of special interest. Cast of the senior play, “January Thaw,” spent many weary hours practicing in room 309 before they moved onto the Liberty School stage for that final week before April 10 and 11. Standing: Laura Mae Newmann, John O’Hara, Wayne Markward, Nedra Ross, Dick Keel, Russell Godsey, George Schmidt, Jim Whittaker, and Nancy Buckreus. Seated: Annette Eagle, Gordon Stech, Jean Hallas, and their director. Miss Mary Duffy. Not shown: Peggy Murray. The best way to meet people is through organizations. Hobart High provides many different clubs for the varied interests of its students. Thus, just about every student can belong to at least one club, and if none of them meets his parictular interest one can be organized. Our system of organizations is also very democratic since no club votes on its prospective members and anyone who is interested may join. Clubs offer students a chance to learn how to discuss, plan, and work on projects which will benefit everyone. Responsibility for ourselves and for each other is devel- oped through committee work. Clubs bring together students with the same interests and allow them to exchange their ideas on a subject. A common interest is the best introduction to interesting people. ACTIVITIES HILMER JACOBSON Director A long hike to chorus classes this year didn’t discourage those interested, for the a cappella choir alone contained sixty-nine voices. This year the choir, under the direction of Hilmer Jacobson, sang at many convos and again gave a Christmas concert of their own. The audience was held breath- less as they sang the majestic “Hallelujah Chorus.” The Boys’ Glee Club, which was just organized this year, among other numbers sang the popular carol “Deck the Halls.” The choir was also included in the variety program that the First Christian Church put on and was one of the highlights of the evening as they sang “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Hobart High School Firts Row: J.

Heller, B. Garriott, J. O’Hara. The a cappella choir has sung for several Hobart organizations such as the Hobart Women’s Club and the Parent-Teachers Association T.V. Show. At this show the choir portrayed Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians in a style that would have made Fred Waring himself proud. Their spring activities included the solo ensemble contest, a spring con- cert, and a concert with the band. The goal of this year’s group was to buy a piano for use at their concerts, so that the pianist wouldn’t have to stop to have the piano fixed in between numbers. Good luck to the vocal musicians of our school. GIRLS’ TRIO Lois Butler, Carol Shannon. Not shown: Martha Culbertson. A Cappella Choir First Row: V. Nichols, C. Shannon, D. Vorpahl, V. River, P.

Hobart High School In 1934 the first Hobart High School Band was formed ;it has progressed until today we have one of the most outstanding high school bands in the country. At the beginning of the year the band put in hours of hard work prac- ticing smooth working formations to be used during half time at the football games. The precision marching, formations made in the dark with multicolor lights, and dance steps gained the wholehearted approval of the audience. Early in the year the band took part in the State Marching Contest, and, as usual, they marched off with the Sweep Stakes Trophy. Moving piatures were again taken of the band by the Indiana University Audio-Visual Center. They demonstrated basic formations. This marching continued for two days, but when the pictures were reshown they proved to be a success. The band gave several concerts again this year, including the annual fall one. The guest conductor was H. E. Nutt, and one of the outstanding selections played was “Maxinkuckee,” written by Boweles, a native of our own state. Christmas was in the air when their next concert was given, and RICHARD A.

Also, the 28th Anniversary concert given in the spring was enjoyed by everyone. The guest conductor was William D. Revelli, who has a special interest in the band because he organized it. The band participated in the Northern Indiana High School Band, Or- chestra. and Vocal Solo Ensemble Contest held at Emerson High School this year. Those receiving “firsts” in this district contest were able to go down state to Butler University in Indianapolis to take part in the all-state contest. Mr. Worthington proudly reported that from the band members who went to Indianapolis ten received firsts and two received seconds. The band tour began this year on March 14 and continued until March 21. New York was the highlight of this year’s tour, although concerts were played at many other points of interest. The band has done an exceptional job during the years they’ve been organized and both school and community hope they keep up their outstand- ing musicianship.

All the best ingredients of a play are here — raiding of ice boxes, boy friends pushing in and making themselves at home, hanging over the telephone, maneuvering over dates. The play revolves around Carrie, the world’s unluckiest baby-sitter; Bob, who makes matters worse; Jane, a younger sister with a passion for botany; Bob ' s outraged parents and Junior — the worlds worst baby! Throughout the evening Junior breaks the window with a slingshot, swallows a mushroom, accuses Carrie of twisting his arm, and causes Carrie to become so flustered that she uses a new silk muffler for a diaper! However, what starts out as a terrible night comes to a successful end, and everyone lives happily ever after. CAST Carrie Bob Jane i Eunice Junior Father Mother ....

In case you wonder what happened — Junior just swallowed a supposedly poisonous mushroom! Betty Vaughn, a member of the make-up com- mittee, carefully smoothes on cold cream — the first step in making up Jasper Hopkins for the part of Lefty. He looks as if he’s enjoying it, doesn’t he?

This group of en- thusiastic people sponsored a carnival as one of theit money making schemes. All over S500 went toward the building of the new community center. The Honor Society welcomed its new members at a convo last fall. The Honor Society members are in the upper third of their class and are chosen by the teachers on the basis of character, scholarship, lead- ership, and service. These energetic students from the National Honor Society are averaging grades. The picture of the home room with the highest average is placed on a poster on display in the main hall of the Hobart High building.

Looks as if she’s fainting, doesn’t it? Well, that’s just good acting, and acting is what the Thespians learn to do. They presented a skit entitled “The Story Grows” at the Parent-Teacher Association T.V. show. Checking out workbooks and textbooks are among duties of the librarians. All the textbooks delivered to classes pass through their hands, for they dust, number, and check books for pencil marks. Many of the girls came to help sort the books even before school had started this year. The Librarians are loading books on the book cart. That’s really a job to keep books straight after 950 students use the library. The Librarians often have clean up parties after school and drink cokes while dusting books. LATIN CLUB Here two members of the Latin Club are giving the room a “Christmasy” atmosphere by writing Latin greetings on the board while others are trying to make sense from several Latin Christmas cards. President Loretta Massa Vice-President David Bood Secretary Pilar Moreira Treasurer Douglas ' Williams Sponsor Mrs. Annabelle Shone These people have something over most of us, for they not only say the Pledge to the Flag in our language but also say it in Latin. The club consists of only the second year Latin class, but first year Latin students were invited to several club parties. Looks fun, doesn’t it? All you have to do is learn Spanish; then you can enjoy singing Spanish songs as these girls are doing. The Spanish Club meets once every three weeks in the home of one of the members. SPANISH CLUB President Ralph Kerwin Vice-President Walter Atseff Secretary Janet McMurtry Treasurer Louise Jacobson Sponsor Mr. Robert Neff These Americans who are not satisfied with our language! These students, like so many others, are tackling the Spanish language and decided that it would help to study a map of Spain first. Here, they are busy tracing the route that Julius Caesar traveled through Spain. SCIENCE CLUB President Vice-President .... Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor . . . . Ethan Owens . Dorothy Vorpahl . . Annette Eagle Miss Lola Stewart Ever heard of making lightning in a laboratory? Well, that’s just what these sci entists are doing! This fascinating machine is being used to generate static electricity (lightning to most people). Really looks interesting, doesn’t it? These experimenters hope to be the “Future Scient- ists of America.” Here, these members of the Science Club are distilling water and doing a good job of it. They’ll do about any experiment anyone “dreams up,” so if you sniff an evil smell some noon hour you can bet it’s the “scientists” at work in room 204. Sponsor AUDIO-VISUAL CLUB Mr. Howard Yunker Here, one of the more advanced members of the Audio-Visual Club is showing two other fellows how to splice film. You have no doubt welcomed some Audio-Visual boy’s intrusion when he took away “study- ing time” to show a movie. Many thanks to our “camera men.” Carrying equipment to and from rooms where movies are to be shown is also part of the duty of the Audio- Visual club boys. Here, some of the standard apparatus is being carried to a part of the building where the movie will be set up. Muscles plus skill are needed in this club. Hobart High School manages to provide a full sports program despite limited facilities. It is the aim of the athletic department that every student shall have satisfying experiences in the sports suited to his particular skills and interest. Athletics train a boy not only for physical fitness, but also for mental alertness. An athlete soon learns that in order to gain any worthwhile success he must give out every thing he has. Athletics are no place for shirkers. Sports also teach fairness and a respect for another’s rights and privileges. A student who may not be at the top of his class scholastically may, through accomplishments in sports, become aware of potentialities of which he had before been unaware. He discovers that after all there is a place for him in life if he is willing to make it.

FOOTBALL— 1952 Copping a tie for the Calumet Conference football title with Gary Edison was the highlight of the Brickie grid season. The Brick-men brought home the bacon all hut once to mark up one of the most colorful terms of Ho-Hi history. For their first face-off the Brickies defeated the slip- pery Oilers of Whiting, there, in a well-fought game. Brickie Bowl was the scene of the East Gary tussle in which the rolling Deal-men squashed the East Gary club 43-0 to rack up the highest total of the season. The Brick machine gathered volume as they steamed over a surprising Lowell squad 13-0 at the Lowell field. The valiant Vikings of Valparaiso, at Valpo, were the next encounter for the flag waving stalwarts of Hobart. The Vikings displayed a good defense until the last six minutes when the Brickies opened fire to make a final talley of 33-0. The following week at Crown Point the golden clad Brickie gladiators went out on the turf the holders of a 13 game winning streak. A determined Bulldog eleven took advantage of this unlucky number and ran all over Hobart 27-14. Back home in Brickie Bowl the gridderj. met a growling Panther team from Griffith. Bouncing back from defeat, Hobart came out on the top of a 18-12 score. ?952 0 ?O4tfaUl RESERVE FOOTBALL SQUAD First Row: Jack Jablonski, Bill Aitken, John Kuckuck, Albert Storey, Whitey Malmquist, Ray Marconi, Bob Julian, Louie Ross, Wayne Pavel, Jack Green, Ralph Messina.

Homecoming Queen Sandra Scharbach was presented with a smashing 19-7 victory over a cutthroat Pirate crew from Merrillville. The next tilt saw the rejuvenated Hobart machine overcome a Gary Edison team 25-12. This over- whelming win enabled the Deal-men to tie for the C-C grid crown. Playing their last contest of the ’52 season the Brickie crew outfought the Horsemen of Horace Mann 13-7. This victory was the first time a Hobart football squad had taken top honors in the Hobart-Mann series. In the post season All-Conference team, Hobart placed three men, all seniors: Jim Crum, at the center spot; Phil Yates back; Don Howell, tackle. The Purple and Gold was represented in the second team by Spike Kelley, back, and Joe Matan, tackle, both seniors. To top all the post season honors, Jim Crum was named to the All-State Honorable Mention team which rounded out a very memorable fall of Hobart style football. Those Brickies earning positions on the conference honorable mention group were Tom Kurth, Mick Matsey, John Uhles and Gene Clemens, all ends. Jerry Ranus and Curt Nelson were named to the guard spots, and John O’Hara was the lone Brickie at tackle. In the backfield were Dale Schavey at quarterback; Joel Hermann, Don Anderson and Woody Stafford at backs. Many other Purple and Gold gridders, although not receiving mention, per- formed creditably throughout the season.

HIGHLIGHTS OF 1953 CROSS COUNTRY SEASON The Brickie Harriers started off their ten meet schedule with five successive victories beating Chester- ton, Valparaiso, Hammond, Dyer, Gary Roosevelt, Lew Wallace, and Emerson in dual and triangular meets. The first big test of the season found the Brickies placing second behind Gary Roosevelt in their Twelfth Annual Hobart Invitational Meet in which 17 teams took part. In their next meet the Brickies annexed their sixth straight Calumet Conference championship with a low total of 26 points. The Sixth Annual (Hobart) IHSAA Sectional Meet followed with a record entry of 22 teams taking part. The Brickies came off second best again as Gary Roose- velt nosed out Hobart 89 to 94 for the winners and runner-up points. In the ninth meet of the season Hobart traveled to Culver Military and won a triangular meet from the Cadets and Delphi. The State Meet followed but the best the Brickies could do in the field of nineteen teams that qualified was eleventh plac. Frank Broda with 40 points, John Mosley, 39; Phillip Millus, 35; Wayne Neill, 20; Charles Valovich, 121 2 ; Stewart Kraft, 73 4 ; Tom Gatch, 2i 4 points, were awarded major letters. Ted Fox was team manager. Minor awards went to Donald Bragg, Tim Wood, Ted Talian, Russell Dillon, Roger Springman, and Bill Crum. 1952 CROSS COUNTRY SQUAD First Row: David Clifford, Larry Van Loon, Tim Wood, Rudy Olson, John Brush, Bob Caesar, Ted Talian.

The Brick-men started the season slowly and picked up speed until at one time they held a ten game winning streak. They shared Calumet Conference cage honors with Crown Point, Merrillville, and Gary Edison to make the tightest finish in history. Hobart’s overall season record was 15 wins and 7 loses, a considerable improvement over last season’s 8 win, 11 loss tally. At the Gary Sectional, with 500 Ho-Hi fans cheering them on, the Brickies were unable to spark as they were humbled by Gary Edison 65-50. In the post-season all C-C team, Jim Johnston, junior guard, and Bill Woods, senior center, repre- sented the Hobart club. Don Bragg, senior, received honorable mention. Hobart fans will never forget Gene Clemens as he dunked in the last bucket of the game to give Hobart a one-point victory over Dyer in the semi-finals of the Crown Point Holiday Tournament. Unfortunately, Ho- bart was edged out by Crown Point in the finals by fourteen points. Another event that will live long in people’s mem- ories is Jim Johnston’s scoring record, posted during the Portage game. He collected thirteen field goals and sixteen free throws for a total of forty-two points. This raised Bill Matsey’s record of twenty-eight points. One of the most exciting games of the season was the Dyer game. Outplayed the first half, the Brick-men came back fighting mad to win the game by the hand- some margin of fourteen points. This victory cinched a tie for the Calumet conference crown for the Brickies. Jump ball! Big Bill Woods of Hobart and John Noak of Wheeler leap high into the air to gain control of the tip. At this first home appearance of the ’52-’53 Brickies, they soundly trounced the Bearcats 76-43. Gene Clemens and several unidentifiable Wheeler players await the outsome.

The 1952 track squad was a well balanced group of thinclads that more than held their own in keeping the track tradition of the Brickie cinder lads on the victory trail. Leading the ten top point-getters for the season were Frank Broda (138), Don Anderson (131), Bill Cope (119), Dick Marconi (100), Edward Boone (88), Jim Johnston (73), Fred Roach (71), Eugene Clemens (63), John Polak (62) and Don Howell (51). Other major letter winners included Bernard Drum- mond, Wayne Neill, Jim Calabro, Phillip Millus, Keith Benson, Tom Kurth, Robert Albers, and David Clemens. The Brickies opened their 1952 campaign on March 3 by losing to Hammond High Wildcats 53 to 47 in the Chicago University fieldhouse. On the heels of this loss came nine straight varsity victories. Triumphs were registered over Culver Military Academy, the Calumet Conference indoor championship, Crown Point, East Gary and Lowell, Chesterton, the Little Five Meet, Ham- mond Clark, Valparaiso and the Calumet Conference (varsity), (reserve), and (freshman) meets. Gary Roosevelt stopped the Brickie victory skein in the IHSAA sectional meet as Hobart finished fourth in the field of fifteen teams with 23 3 20 points. Roosevelt collected 63, Froebel 28 and Lew Wallace 23 1 5 to place ahead of the Brickie thinlies. Frank Broda won the sectional mile in school record time of 4:39.7. Jim Johnston tied for first in the pole vault and made it all the way to the state championship finals for a fifth place tie at a height of 11 feet 9 inches. Others placing in the sectional were John Polak in the high jump, Dick Marconi in the broad jump and low hurdles. Bill Cope in the 440 yard dash, Don Howell in the shot put and Fred Roach in the mile run. Graduation and the loss of several key performers who decided to drop from the high school roll has posed a problem for Coach Frank Kurth in several events and the relays, but a banner crop of freshmen and sophomores should spell another victorious spring season for the 1953 thinclads. PHIL “COTTON” YATES, who shared the Calumet Conference scoring crown with Spike Kelley, hurdles through the .Pirate secondary as he makes a good sized gain. Let’s hear about you in college, Mr. Yates. BRICKIE CAPTAINS gather at the trophy case to admire trophies and to bring back memories of fading glories: John Mosley, Cross Country; Don Anderson and Jim Johnston, Track; Bill Woods and Don Bragg, Basket- ball; and Don Howell and Carrol Kelley, Football. OH, HAPPY DAY! ! Ed “Weasel” Ross claps his hands with joy as he watches the rugged combination of Woody Stafford (59) and Carrol “Spike” Kelley (partly hidden) haul down a determined pass receiver. DON “ANDY” ANDERSON (73) shows his defensive prowess as he moves in to nail a Pirate ball carrier during the Merrillville game, in which Hobart triumphed. Don was a defensive stalwart throughout the season. PRE-GAME FRENZY keeps the Hobart managers on their toes.

Hobart High offers its students a highly trained staff of educators who are both skilled and interested in their profession. They constantly study in order to keep up with the many changes in the field of education. Teachers are always there to explain, point the way, urge, and encourage, but to get the best education, we must do the work. Most of us do a lot of com- plaining about our homework. We never bother to stop and think of how much time our teachers put into preparing those assignments, and how much more time they spend checking them, so that we can find out our mistakes and try to correct them. How many of us ever realize that? Teachers would gladly befriend students when they need help, assist them in solving their problems, and advise them about courses. Students seldom take advantage of this. FACULTY HARLIE CARVER Superintendent of Schools B.S.C.

(Above) A class lesson in clarinet, one of the first phases in music education. In safety classes students learn about the operation of an automobile engine (above). They also learn about the hazards of immediate environment, occupa- tional hazards, and traffic hazards. They are taught how to prevent these accidents, making this a safer world to live in.

Among the most lasting things from our high school days are the friends we make. People who are good citizens are those who have good friends. Having to mingle day after day with many kinds of people with different interests, makes it necessary for students to learn courtesy, tact, and etiquette if they are to be happy and successful. For behavior patterns are formed during high school years. Throughout this time we watched the upperclassmen, trying to decide whom we wanted for our heroes. Carefully we observed their dress, friends, behavior, and the things that interested them. In our turn we were watched in much the same way.
