To the Class of 1962: The true yardstick to use in measuring the worth of a class is to gauge its ac- complishments in the light of its abilities. Mere possession of talents is not sufficient; usage of these gifts is the accurate measur- ing rod. Using the above basis, you deserve plaudits. After a bit of a slow beginning, you gathered speed and have finished fast and strong! I recall no class which has come to the finish line with more school loyalty and eagerness to succeed than you. I commend you and wish you well! Harold Moody, Principal Principal, HAROLD MOODY Dear Class of ’62, May I offer my congratulations on your accomplishments to date. You and the school can be proud of the progress you have made in citizenship, scholarship, and leadership the past few years. Yes, you have solved your problems well. I hope that you will continue to grow in wisdom, in character, and in service to mankind. Using the knowledge you have gained through past problem solving, may you be able to achieve fine things in your personal lives, and through your contribu- tions to science, politics, and religion make a better world. Sincerely, Dorothy Thompson Assistant Principal, D. THOMPSON 9

They have some of the students from the classes help them each day also. Building Staff Mr. Charles Kaiser, Hobart High School’s day custodian spends most of his busy days cleaning up the school.
