Forming the traditional “H” on our home field is only one of the many formations perfected by the marching band each year. Much tedious work went into the Homecoming half-time program as the Halloween Show, the last of the season, was presented in honor of Homecoming Queen, Barbara Kane. Hobart High School Marching Band This year the marching band’s half-time football programs were few, as the flood rav- aged the field making practice impossible. Nevertheless, three fine and entertaining pro- grams were prepared. Community Singing, the Halloween Show, and the American Cowboy Show. Due to the wet fields, the latter w’as not presented. The marching band traveled to Purdue University to participate in the First Annual High School Band Day. Teaming up with 82 bands from all over Indiana, the Hobart marching band took part in providing half- time entertainment at the Purdue-Duke game. The combined bands in three formations played various selections including the Pur- due school song. Fred Libkie, drum major, shows us how it’s done, as he leads the band through one of their routines. Fred did a great job this year, and his superb half-time performances were enjoyed by all.

Bright and early on the morning of April 26, members of the band were standing in front of school anxiously awaiting the word of Mr. Leach that would start them on their way. The buses carried the band about 1,400 miles that week on a tour that consisted of seeing and playing at such places as Cleveland, New York, and De- troit. While in Canada of course, they vis- ited Niagara Falls and probably wished that the tour was a little hit longer. Their spring concert in May was their final production of the year. CORNETS First Row: Norman Hill, Chuck Lake, Thelma Brown. Second Row: Helen Predmore, Jim Kerr, Dick Hanson. Third Row : Pat Ahlgrim, Bob Kaiser, Fred Libkie, Bill Harding.

This year the Student Council worked hard on many profitable projects. In the fall, mem- bers were appointed to place instructions for fire drills in each room in the building. They appointed moniters to check congested areas during fire drills, and also a committee to paint and refill the fire extinguishers. They sponsored a clean-up campaign to give our school a new face. Walls were washed and painted by student volunteers, the lawns were cleaned up, and many other projects were completed to improve the looks of the school. The council sponsored the annual Talent convocation this spring, with many student acts performing for the enjoyment of the whole student body. Also in the spring they introduced to the students plans for a Code of Ethics at Hobart High. It was brought up in home-rooms and discussed by council representatives. After considerable thought and suggestions we de- cided to write a code of our own, using some of the points which have been used success- fully by several high schools in the area. No, that’s not Les Paul performing in Room 307, it’s Ray Daves and Lewis Hill auditioning before Bob Shone, Jane Hawke, Sue Epperson, and Jennie Speer for the Talent Convo. An array of delightful acts made the program a great success.
