This was the first meeting of its kind ever to be held at Hobart high, but due to its success it will probably be- come an annual event. Talks by members of some of the city civic organizations on parliamentary procedure, the importance of good grooming, and the qualities of a good leader proved to be both interesting and useful. Group dis- cussions were held twice each morning at which time many problems were solved and many new ideas uncovered. Movies per- taining to leadership were shown and reports from each of the dis- cussion groups given at the final mass meeting of the day. Special meetings for the presi- dents, secretaries, and treasurers were also conducted. This was one of the most helpful programs ever attempted since it aided many of us in helping our school to be a better one. Helpful Leadership Conference Dave Wilson, president of the class of 1956, was one of the discussion leaders at the leadership conference held for the first time at Hobart high.
