Last June at the first staff meeting, we discussed a possible theme for the 1954 Memories. Because we felt that Hobart had long been in need of a hymn to be sung on serious occasions, the staff decided to ask you to write the song. We sincerely hope that this song will become one of the cherished traditions of Hobart High School. Hail, Alma Mater Hail, all hail, Hobart High School We students true, Pledge thee our love And give support to you. In loss or victory. We sing your praises high. Our Alma Mater, dear Hobart High. 5 . . . seniors take over entire school These seniors had a view of many of the problems that face the school board. As members of the board they had the oppor- tunity to discuss current issues and to meet with students who presented problems that are common around school. The capable seniors who are shown here with Mr. Garver are Ralph Kerwin, Doug Williams, Dave Epperson, Dave Bood, Loretta Massa, and Jasper Hopkins. Jim Mair, one of the fortunate seniors who started the Senior Day tradition, replaced teaching principal Joseph Phillips from West Hobart Elementary School. Adoring students abandoned their play to crowd around their student teachers — Marlene Howell, Jackie Ahlgrim, and Jim Johnston — at recess time. “I wonder how those poor teachers do it,” re- marked Gene Clemens as he collapsed in his chair after a busy day of acting as high school principal. In his experience as a grade school principal Jim Mackey found it necessary to use a bit of discipline. The moral of his little lecture to a problem child could well be “Be a good boy or you’ll grow up to be like me.” system . . . another new tradition . . . April Fool’s Day was no joke to this hard working senior faithfully the schedule listed on the board. For one entire diy who took over a sixth grade at Liberty. Ted Milenkoff followed the seniors were supreme in the Hobart educational system. 7 “Come on, Gene, let’s go!” With crepe paper flying, horns honking and students yelling, excitement really filled the air on the big campaign day. It was really a sight to behold — two parades, in one day. A convertible with the Purple Ticket can- didates, Minnie French and Gene Clemens led the gala affair. As everyone knows by now, the Purple Ticket was the victor in the election. . . . it ' s September All set to start their parade are Eleanor Zunich and Curt Nelson, candidates on the Gold Ticket. Led by a police escort, the parade formed in front of the school and went down Main Street and other parts of town where students stood in groups to watch and cheer their favorites. By the time everyone was ready to go to the polls, they had seen their share of campaigning. campaign time . . . Congratulations and handshakes were in order for the new mayor, Gene Clemens, and clerk treasurer, Minnie Sue French, as they took office in September. Mr. Moody, and the losing can- didates, Curt Nelson and Eleanor Zunich, were the first to offer their best wishes. Our 1953-1954 mayor has been an enthusiastic leader in guiding the student body through a successful school year. He has been the spark plug behind the school drives and accomplishments, with the aid of an equally enthusiastic council, cheer leaders, and the student body as a whole. 8 Displaying some of the tools that are so helpful to shop boys, Mr. Thomas Farlow, freshman shop teacher, explains the use of one of the tools to a parent visiting the shop. Modern equipment plays a very important part in shop safety and a help in the building of fine furnishings. Many offers were received by June Miller from teachers for her first oil painting which she did in art class. Miss Gentry points out some of the outstanding features of June’s work to Mrs. Miller, her proud mother. The paintings were displayed on Back To School Night along with other works of art. . . . back to school night . . . Mrs. Eleanor Deal, junior high school social studies teacher, proudly displays the work of her students. The scene depicts an early western frontier settlement. In the background are character dolls dressed in costumes of early American history. 9 A beautiful flowered crown for the Queen was received by Georgia May Eagle. The evening’s program began with the queen and her court being driven onto the football field in a convertible. It didn’t seem to take long for the first half to end because it was such a close game. The half time program was begun by the band marching. Then the three chosen members of the H-Men’s club escorted Queen Georgia Eagle, with Betty Moody, and Loretta Massa, her attendants, to the center of the field. There Phil Millus crowned Georgia Homecoming Queen. . . . homecoming - the game - The climax of the Homecoming dance was the Grand March led by the queen, her court and their escorts. As the Queen and her court descended the stairway onto the dance floor, a fanfare was played by Lorenz Kenney’s band. Queen Georgia then ascended to the throne to pose for newspaper photographers. After pictures were taken Georgia with Dick Netzhammer, her escort, led off the next dance. The Homecoming dance was a big success with both students and graduates of Hobart High School attending. 10 These spirited sophomores added $5.00 to their class treasury by devising this clever fate for the Bulldogs. This was a bit better than last year’s tie for “booby.” Paint brushes flew until the last minute, and when the winners were announced, it was the class of ’56 that took top honors. Mary Lee Phillips, Connie Clingan, Annette Yelkich, Elaine Thyen, and Pat Hagle witness as Richard Berg, Pat Morehouse, Judy Wesley, and Margie Neil attend to one of the unfortunates. the dance - those crazy displays . . . The class of ’55 marred its past record of two firsts by having second best display this year. This group of juniors helped Yohan make a fool of the Crown Point mascot. That night the Brickies followed through with a victory. Kneeling: Mary Jane Kurth, Gayle Huminsky, Don Shinneman. Standing: Colleen Dotson, Beverly Mehalic, Barbara Klindt, Shirlee Caldwell, Yohan, and Dick Netzhammer. 11 The sophomore class party was one of the most colorful and hilarious affairs of the year. Masqueraders represented animals and people of all types. Captain Kidd danced with a white rabbit, and even Gorgeous George was there to add to the excitement. Costumes were judged for prizes, and dancing, refreshments, and games made the “Mardi Gras” a complete success. “I knew Lincoln” was the theme of the ronvo presented by Kirk Bennett on February 18. Mr. Bennett portrayed Billy Brown, who ran the store where Abraham Lincoln and his friends gathered to tell stories and argue around the stove. What masquerade would be complete without flapper girls? Rosalind Boughamer, Jo Ann Cicillian, and LaVonne Spense modeled this rakish garb of the roaring twenties. 12 Corsages and lighted candles added color and atmosphere to Mr. Harold Moody, principal, had the honor of presenting the the ceremony. There were both smiles and serious thoughts as charter of Hobart high school’s newly organized Britannican chapter the first members of the Britannican chapter of Future Teachers of the Future Teachers of America to Janet McMurtry, president. of America signed their names to the charter. “And a good time was had by all!” This was the exclamation of those juniors who attended their class party in March. The decorations — - crepe paper, sparkling stars, and a huge moon — carried out the theme of “Blue Moon.” The juniors attending enjoyed dancing to the orchestra of Lorenz Kenney. Entertainment for the evening was provided by Janet Severence, electric guitar and Barbara Klindt, who gave a monologue, both girls, members of the class. Refreshments were served from an attractive table decorated in the class colors. 13 The expression on the faces of these students can mean only one thing — Victory! And victory it was, not only for the basket- ball team, but for the Brickie Boosters as well. The crowd of students shown here are only a part of the many fans who filled the Hobart section at tourney time. The enthusiastic followers cheered the Brickies into the final game of the Gary sectional. The loyalty of the fans was especially displayed during the game against the hard playing Panthers of Roosevelt. Brickie fans refused to let their plucky team down, as the Brickies themselves refused to allow the Panthers to win with- out a hard fought battle to the end. This bright sign in the study hall attracted a great deal of attention a week before the sectionals. It was one of the many projects undertaken by the student council to arouse enthusiasm for the sectional tourney. On the day of the sectionals the Hobart caravan with twelve cars bulging at the seams, set out for Memorial Auditorium, horns blowing, students yelling, and banners waving. 14 Participants in the Yohan’s Revue, an all school talent show were Betty Moody, pianist; Phyllis Gibson and Jeannine Brown, vocal duet; Joyce Anderson, pianist; Sally LePell, pantominist; Mary Cortese, pianist; Sandra Allison, pianist; and Gwen Neitzel, assistant to the master of ceremonies, seated. Frank Kaplon, soloist: Lewis Hill and Ray Daves, duet: Cecil Neyhart, guitarist and singer: Barbara Cisman, accordionist: Jim Mackey, master of ceremonies: Bill Gravel, Frank Ross. Ronnie Steinbrenner, David Henley, the Caravan Quartet, standing. Winners were Betty Moody, first prize: Lewis Hill and Ray Daves, second prize: and Cecil Neyhart. third prize. Blue Hawaii was the theme of the Semi-Formal, one of the biggest occasions of the year. Through the combined efforts of Debuteen and G.A.A. club members, the gym was transformed into a tropical paradise w ith colorful flowers, palm trees, and glittering stars. Happy couples danced to soft music or sat at candle lighted tables and commented on the loveliness of the affair. 15 Hail, all hail, Hobart High School The director, the concert master, and all the section leaders help os to interpret our music — not only to play correctly but also to interpret the spirit, feeling, and thought of the Master Composer. They assist those with less experience, passing on their own knowledge, thus helping to create a stirring, thrilling symphony, which may inspire us in composing our own great music.

The melody is the closely woven spirit of Hobart High School, possible because of the close class, sports, and activities association between students and teachers. From this association — an easy, informal, co-operative friend- liness — is molded a valuable part of our character. “I like this one,” says Beverly Ramsay, senior class sec- retary as President Doug Williams; Treasurer Sheila Reese; and Vice-president David Bood join her to look over the sam- ples of caps and gowns to be chosen by the senior class. These are seniors? ! ! ! These strange-looking crea- tures roamed the halls every Senior Hobo Day. On these days many weird and outlandish costumes appeared. Here a group gathers in a merry crowd on the stairway of the senior locker room. Measurements for caps and gowns were taken one day in the government and economics classes. The “long and short” of the picture — only two of the different types of seniors — are Ronald Dunkelbarger and Joyce Muir. 30 MOST VALUABLE Pilar Moreira Douglas Williams BEST LOOKING Jane Collins Don Conley BEST NATURED Jim Mackey Jane Webber HIS HONOR THE MAYOR Gene Clemens MOST POPULAR Joy Callahan Gene Clemens MOST ATHLETIC Judy Killens Jim Johnston 31 MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Jasper Hopkins Louisa Jac obson AHLGRIM, HELEN — Latin Club 2,3; Spanish Club 3,4; Booster Club 1; Band Ensemble 3,4; Band 1,2, 3, 4; Debuteens 3,4.

Notes cannot be cast haphazardly upon paper by a composer. There must be an established pattern and rhythm. Students cannot study day after day with no recreation to relieve an otherwise monot- onous routine. Realizing this, Hobart High School furnishes an extensive program of extra-curricular activities. HILMER JACOBSON Director The a capella choir this year gained additional prestige with their splendid performance of selections from Handel’s “Messiah.” Much hard work and many extra practices were needed to put on this most difficult of all oratorios. It was necessary to hire outside soloists who did a splendid job. The guest soloists were Miss Charlotte Domroese, contralto; Mrs. Kenneth Bullock, so- prano; Mr. Ralph Corrie, tenor; and Mr. Richard Lewke, bass. Never before has Hobart’s a capella choir been able to ac- complish such a great undertaking. Each year Mr. Jacobson has added depth and quality which has resulted in a choir that has won fame and of which we can be justly proud. The a capella choir presented the students with a wonderful Christmas gift by singing our new Alma Mater hymn at the Christ- mas convocation. This is the first year Hobart has ever had an Alma Mater song. The traditional Vesper concert wa s held with the band and a capella choir playing and singing Christmas favorites. The spring agenda fulfilled all expectations as the choir gave their spring concert on April 22. Several of their selections were Rain and the River,” “Adoramus Te,” “Lamb of God,” and “Roll Chariot Roll.” The choir had a busy year as they sang for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter convocations and prepared for their appear- ance at the State Choral Contest. . . . we sing First Row: P.

The annual “Pop” concert started the season on a busy program of concerts. “Beautiful Galatea” was the outstanding feature of the “Pop” concert. “The Christmas Suite,” a selection of traditional Christmas carols, was the feature at the annual Christmas Concert. Celebrating the 29th annual Anniversary of the Concert Band, they played several selections including “Marriage of Figaro” by Mozart, “Un- finished Symphony” by Schubert and “The Rifle Regiment March” by Sousa.

Give to the Community Building Fund. Raising money for the com- munity building was one of the main objectives of the student council this year. While the students knew it was impossible for them to finance the entire building, their contributions went a long way toward buying new modern scoreboards and showed their desire for the new building. In an effort to awaken the people of the town to the need for a new gymnasium, the Student Council headed many projects this year. Posters showing the inadequate facil- ities of the shower and locker rooms and the crowded condition of the gym. were dis- played in downtown store windows. Then containers were placed in the classrooms, and a barrel in the locker room to prompt students to contribute to the building fund, thus showing the townspeople how enthusi- astically the students are backing this project. At sectional time, the Student Council, to- gether with the cheerleaders, made arrange- ments with the Hobart and Gary police for a car caravan to journey to Memorial audi- torium. Led by Yohan, the Spirit of Hobart high, in the person of Russell Elisha, the enthusiastic Brickie fans soon filled the cheer- ing section and backed their team right down to the last second of the finals. 59 Greeting the parents on Back to School night was one oi the projects that the Britannican chapter of Future Teachers of America undertook this year. The purpose of the F.T.A. is to give helpful advice to students who are planning to teach. Smiling faces are one of the many pleasant rewards an F.T.A. member receives while substituting for school teachers. Grading tests and assignment papers is another duty of the club members. F.T.A. members attended the teachers’ workshop where they par- ticipated in interesting discussion groups. Most of them attended the discussion on “How much homework should he Assigned to students.” Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service paid off as 23 thrilled and excited seniors were inducted into the National Honor society during an impressive cere- mony on November 4, 1953. Members are chosen on scholastic standing, activity points, and teachers’ recommendations. . . . national honor society The giving up of a few noon hours and the wearing down of much pencil lead pro- duced these happy faces of the home room who had the highest scholastic average for a six weeks’ period.

It does get a little monotonous at times. A member of the Audio-Visual Club is threading the projector. After setting every- thing up, he can sit back, relax, and enjoy a movie. The most unpleasant job of the Audio-Visual boys is carrying the equip- ment to classes, but all in all the boys must enjoy showing movies because they continue to be in the club year after year. Students of Hobart high are always glad to see a member of the Audio-Visual club arrive because that means no reading out of books. Members of the club show- movies in various classes. Two boys here are learning how to splice film. This knowledge really comes in handy when a film breaks in the middle of a movie. 61 The proud look on the faces of these girls symbolizes team play, fair play, and sportsmanship, the three main objectives of the G.A.A. This club affords girls the opportunity to par- ticipate in such athletic events as volleyball, deck tennis, and basketball. By taking part in these activities, they learn and practice team play, fair play, and sportsmanship. The girls shown here are Eleanor Reisinger, treasurer; Carol Whittaker, secretary: Judy Killens, president; Jane Webber, vice president; Nancy Bessigano, secretary; and Minnie Sue French, treasurer. • • • CJ Cl Cl A formal initiation, complete with membership ribbons and candlelight, welcomed new members into the G.A.A. club.

It’s really deserved because getting 1000 students in and out of that tiny gym for two eonvos is not an easy task. Besides ushering for eonvos, they also worked at con- certs and all of the football games and basketball games. 62 Debate club has really traveled around this year. They went to Purdue for the eonvention, to Merrillville to give a demonstration and to Tew Wallaee. They also gave a debate for the Hobart Woman ' s club.

Someone must have really worked to knit this sweater! The Home Economics club has proved very profitable to its members. They not only learn how to knit but also how to sew and crochet. They have lessons in handicraft too. 63 Members of the Chemistry club are experimenting with the distillation of water. The Chemistry club entered projects in the Science Fair.

Just as a coloratura soprano attempts to reach high C, thus does an athletic team strive for the summit — victory lies there. Victory, however, is not all that is to be attained. Seldom is there the feeling that one team has bested another for glory ' s sake alone. Each individual may experience a spirit of sportsmanship and teamwork, a sense of accomplishment, and one of the deepest feelings of satisfaction that the material world offers.

The mighty Deal-men all but ran wild as they finished the season with an 8-2 record. In their opening game of the season Brickies played host to the Oilers of Whiting here. The mighty Oiler team was held scoreless in the first half, but pushed across the only score of the evening in the last period as rain-soaked on-lookers saw the Brickies downed 6-0. After their opening defeat Brickie gridders took to the road and avenged all with a bounding 26-0 vic- tory over the hapless Eagles of East Gary. From here the Deal-men returned to home premises and presented the Hobart on-lookers with another 26-0 victory, only this time over the Lowell Red Devils. The next week saw the valiant Vikings of Valpo traversing Brickie bowl, seeking to avenge the 33-0 defeat handed to them by the Brickies the year before. A bruising battle proceeded as the Vikings eked out a meager 14-13 win after Brickie backers saw a last min- ute, would-be-winning touchdown called back. Traveling to Griffith, the Brickie grid machine ground out a gruelling 19-12 win over the Panthers for another conference triumph.
