Growing Up at Hobart High Growing, growing — day by day, year by year — growing up and out the seams. That is what Hobart High School students are doing from the time they begin their careers as freshmen until they are seniors, nearly matured and ready for commencement to bigger and better things in a promising future. Our school has been changing too. Since the time long ago in 1877 when the first part was built, it has continued to grow along with its students until today, with an enrollment of 1085, we can hear it creak with age and at the same time cry out for relief from its never-ending grow- ing pains. As surely as students will continue to grow and mature, Hobart High School will also need to grow accordingly. The time has come for bigger and better things in the way of a new school. We look forward to the coming years with the anticipation of the fulfillment of such plans. Until that day we must be patient with the grow- ing process. Let us pause for a look backward over an- other year in the history of that time worn but beloved edifice, Hobart High School, and at the same time review another year of growth in our own lives.

Growing Up . . . . The Methodist Annex, a scene of con- fusion each day, must be used by Mr. Stewart’s government and economics classes. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, the seniors must attend classes there because of the over-crowded building, then trudge across the street — often late and sometimes cold and wet — to the main building. Our cafeteria serves many purposes. When it is not being used for regular luncheons, it is necessary to use it for certain school activities, parent-teacher meetings, club parties, and even as a study hall.
