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.

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.

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.
