National Honor Society The fall induction of the National Honor Society this year included fourteen proud and happy seniors whose qualities of leadership, scholarship, character, and service were honored. The society is a group which has undertaken many projects this year. They tabulated and published the honor roll stand- ings for each six weeks’ grading period. They sponsored a chili supper for students who had maintained a 2.5 average for the first semester. They also met with guidance directors to help counsel students who seemed to be having difficulty with their grades.

Future Teachers of America The distinction of being one of the most active clubs in school could easily be held by F.T.A. The members gain new teaching experience as they are excused to teach classes in the various grade schools. While reading to these first graders, Janet Carlson is creating friendly and co- operative attitudes among them, a goal of each F.T.A. member. With this accom- plished, discipline is usually a small mat- ter and teaching can then be a rewarding experience.

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.

Speech Club Highlighting this year ' s activities was the annual trip to Purdue for two days of intense debating. Such issues as con- gressional investigations took much re- search as illustrated by Arden Camp- bell, Myrna Smith, Mary Lee Phillips, Bonnie Scharbach, and Rene Distell. Usher Club Those helpful guys you see at every convo and ball game, always ready to find you a seat, are none other than members of the Ushers Club. Pausing for a moment on a busy afternoon are Herb Peterson, Pete Bessigano, Fred Kyle, Dave Mergl, Tom Mole, Ken Schroeder, Jon Ewigleben, and Jack Caldwell. Librarians Making decorations and bookmarkers for the library is only one of the many jobs the librarians accomplish. They keep the books in good order, check them out and take care of the maga- zines and papers. All is not work for these charming girls, however, for many pleasant afternoons of fun and talk are passed away while working. Maybe Janet Schmelter, Barbara Cisman, Bar- bara Burke, and Rita Schultz are think- ing about a party that the club will be having soon.
