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.

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.

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.
