Fritz Ruchti, mayor of Hobart high school, led one of the dis- cussions at the leadership conference. The group discussed the qualities of a good leader along with other topics concerning leader- ship characteristics. Here Mr. Warren Garner, general business teacher, leads a discussion in the basement of the Hobart bank for the treasurers of the clubs at Hobart high. This was one of the many activities of the leadership conference. 150 Attend The leadership conference, held in the fall of this school year, was a great help to all leaders and future leaders of the school’s or- ganizations and activities. 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.

BS. ■ 6r H VI Looks interesting, doesn ' t it? These junior high students think so too as they watch intently while Emmett Dorsey shows them an experiment in their general science class. Teachers for a Day Look at the hands up on this one! John Malmquist, U. S. History instructor, quizzes this class on the exact location of the Spanish-American War. One of the big undertakings of the class of ’56 was its participation in Senior Day on May 1 of this year. Prior to the actual teaching day, seniors spent a full day observing and taking part in the sched- ules of the teachers for whom they would be substituting. The senior students took charge of teaching positions in the high school, jun- ior high, and elementary schools. They also took over administrative duties of principals, vice-principals, deans, super- intendent and school board members. This day is set aside for the purpose of acquainting the seniors with the teaching side of school life. It proved to be a very beneficial and interesting experience for all who took part. Bettye Prince begins the day telling these ele- mentary school children an interesting story. Many sessions like this were seen throughout the grade schools during the day.
