Down through the streets of town, led by cheerleaders Judy Mohrs, Joann Clemens, Barbara Prusinski, Doris Novotny, and Gerry Kopko, comes the weaving line of about fifty enthusiastic Hobart fans from the second homecoming pep rally in Brickie Bowl. Led by a police escort, the fans shouted favorite cheers such as Beat Merrillville. Homecoming enthusiasm started with a pep rally in Brickie Bowl and a snake dance through the town. Plans were made for a bonfire, but were dis- pensed with because of dry weather. Weeks before the Homecoming game, the clas- ses schemed, planned, and worked on their displays. The seniors came out on top, making this the second time for the class of '57. Displays were iudged during a pep session the morning before the game. The colorful floats built by the iunior and senior classes caused so much attention that a special parade, including the Hobart High Marching Band, was organized at noon. The sophomore and fresh- man classes did not have floats because they could get no one to drive them. Their displays were erect- ed on each side of the scoreboard in the stadium. The floats were also pulled around the track be- fore the kick-off at the game for the Merrillville fans to observe and as an extended welcome to the alumni. Joann Clemens, junior, was crowned homecom- ing Queen by Mayor Dennis Williams during the half-time. Following the grand march at the dance, Joann Y was presented with a white football, autographed with the players' names. The school spirit which was noticed from the very first, continued through all the Homecoming events to boost the Brickies in their seventh vic- tory, beating Merrillville 55-14. Pep rally rouses spirit, Queen Joann honored with Homecoming 1-...,,, ll T -N Capture No. 7, iunior float which took second place in the display competition, explains exactly what happened as the Brickies marched to their seventh straight victory.
