A Cappella Choir GIRLS TRIO — Myrna Smith, Rose Lee Ewigleben, Pat Wolfe, Mr. Gene Simons, director, Louise Brown ac- companist. The largest A Cappella choir Hobart has ever had was this year under the di rection of Mr. Gene Simons, who came to us from Delphi, Indiana. He received degrees in music from Murray State Teacher’s College, in Murray, Kentucky, and from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Michi- gan. During his teaching career he has directed several top contest vocal ensembles. Mr. Simons has done equally well at Hobart, sending three ensembles to the regional contest and one to state in Indianapolis where they received high honors. The choir, with a community chorus, again presented George F. Handel’s great “Messiah” this past holiday season. The accomplished works of Handel provided an inspirational flavor for the opening of the Christmas season. Other performances by the choir were many convocations, the spring concert and the spring tour. They were invited to sing for Indiana State Teacher’s College in Terre Haute, Indiana and gave other performances at various points along the way. The tour provided an exciting finale for a successful year.

Activities One can hardly deny that the classroom and its functions are the nuclei of any school. Yet it is evident that the many other activities of a high school are the sustaining factors which strike a comparatively equal balance between the humdrum and the lively. The old adage about Jack — all work, no play, and dullness — cannot be applied to Hobart High. A student may choose the band, the choir, the convos, the dances, the athletics, and the many, many clubs. Let him combine these in a well-balanced manner so that the experiences he derives from them will add an inch or more to his mental and physical stature.
