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.

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. First Row: Janet Severance, Alice Roberts, Janis Thompson, Colleen Dotson, Gayle Huminsky, Janet Carl- son, Shirley Umlauft. Second Row: Eleanor Zunich, Dolores Sanak, Minnie Sue French, Nancy Gross. Third Row: Pauline Fulton, Vivian Isakson, Jack Walker, Fred Libkie, Douglas LaBarr. Fourth Row: Jim Sebring, Tom W ' right, Boh Shone. Not shown: Jim Freeland, Bill Harding. 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.

Jack Walker watches intently to make sure Douglas LaBarr measures exactly the right amount to insure the success of this experiment. Although this test is an interesting one, most students bear other opinions whenever noticeable odors prevail in the vicin- ity of room 208. Wonder why??!! “Looking for something, Eugene?” could easily be the query of any student who drops into room 204 after school, as an exhibit on chick embryology for the Science Fair is being prepared by Eugene Reisinger. This is only one of the fine projects upon which many hours were spent. Science Barbara Klindt eagerly watches as Vivian Isakson and Dolly Sanak make adjustments on the darkroom equipment they will use in making an enlargement of their print. Good luck, girls! BI-PHY-CHEM CLUB Of the various clubs, perhaps those dealing with science give a student the best opportunity to display hidden talents through the combination of a creative mind and hours of hard work. Of course, as all work and no play made Jack a dull boy, so science would be dull without varied activities, one of these being a fascinating hypnotism demonstration by Mr. Moody. Films on minerals, inventions, and other scientific topics are also greatly enjoyed. CAMERA CLUB As the year flies by, Hobart High ' s ‘shutterbugs’ become busier and busier as yearbook deadlines loom ahead. Taking pictures for the yearbook is no easy task as so often each is not only taken but often must be taken over. They always come through with flying colors, though, and may we say “Hats off” to each photographer who helped the yearbook staff in making a successful annual.
