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.

Some of the many who helped were David Johnson, Janet Scott, Eugene, Dave Mergl, Mary Ann and Jim Moody. Gold Party Triumphs in Fall Election The exciting campaign parades climaxed a week of wild enthusiasm. Colorful posters could be seen all around the school and the five convertibles in this Gold party parade were a bright spectacle. The two parades were led through town and all around the school by a police escort. Students went all out for this campaign, showing that we do have school spirit at Hobart high. nun
