The campaign for mayor and clerk-treasurer was one of the best Hobart high has ever had. Some of the backers who helped make Jan Greene ' s and Fritz Ruchti’s publicity successful were Bill Mynatt, Bill Heuring. Jan, Fritz, Sharon Gynn, and Dick Gross. Sitting are Nancy Osborn and Wayne Pavel. “Brush up for Hopkins” was the motto used throughout the mayor and clerk-treasurer campaign for Purple party candidates Mary Ann Brush and Eugene Hopkins. 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

Smiles were everywhere as Danny Beres crowned Barbara Cisman 1955 Homecoming Queen. Virginia Nichols and Betty Edgington, members of the court, are shown with their escorts, Tim Wood and Ted Talian. Barbara’s escort was Stewart Kraft. Homecoming Even though rainy weather was responsible for our homecoming game being postponed for one night and also caused the dance to be held on the night before the game it didn’t dampen the spirits of the enthusiastic Brickie boosters. Plans were made to have a snake dance and a bon-fire on the Thursday night before the game. This was the first event of its kind for H.H.S. and was attended by more than two hundred students and teachers. Its effects only resulted in added excitement and anxiety to the already present Homecoming spirit. We will long remember the hard fought game which resulted in a victory for dear Hobart high, the outstanding displays, and the possibly tradi- tional snake dance and bon-fire. Our seniors, espe- cially, will look back on Homecoming ’56 as being “the best of any.” QUEEN BARBARA
