A CAPPELLA — “Louder”— directed Mr. Benson. The A Cap- pella Choir responded as they practiced for their approaching Christmas Concert. BAND — The Band practiced for their approaching concerts. Their hard work paid off in the musical concerts they produced and in the knowledge gained. Interest and Appreciation in Fine Arts Was Expanded The fine arts classes brightened the 1962-63 school year with their contributions in the fields of music and art. The A Cappella Choir, directed by Mr. Benson, provided many vocal entertainment programs during the school year. The Treble Choir and A Cappella Choir produced an excellent Christmas Concert for the year. Proceeds from the Christmas Concert were used by A Cappella toward the purchase of new robes. The choirs’ fund raising project consisted of selling candy. Each member was expected to sell thirty boxes each. The money made from this candy was also used toward the new choir robes. The A Cappella directed the musi- cal play, “Bye Bye Birdie” the ninth, tenth and eleventh of May, 1963. During the Christmas Season the A Cap- pella produced their annual caroling program in the H. S. halls. This program was fast becoming a pleasant tradition at Hobart High School. The Hobart Band, under the direction of Mr. Robert Webb, provided instrumental musical entertainment in convocations and concerts during the school year. The pep band also added to football and basketball games with stirring victory music. The Art classes made generous contributions of their time and talent to the High School. During the Christ- mas Season they decorated the lobby windows with the Holy Mother, her Child and other nativity attendants, ART — Mrs. Cicak joined students in making artistic creations. The art classes learned to make pleasing color arrangements. 23

SPANISH — Spanish students took their turn at the efficient lab material provided for them in the new wing. They were able to hear their personal speaking voice through the earphones. SPANISH — Gloria Knocke smiled at her classmates as she followed Mr. Neff’ s directions. The class was celebrating Gloria’s birthday. the Understanding and Agreements Between Nations LIBRARY — Mrs. Bailey flashed a smile for the camera as she paused from her daily work of filing new books and cards. The German and Spanish classes made superb use of the excellent facilities provided for them in the language lab in the new wing. The new wing was open in Decem- ber of 1962 and relieved the crowded conditions that were present in the High School this year due to the large Sophomore class. In the lack of facilities causing cramped quarters, before the opening of the new addition, the Latin classes were conducted on the stage. Despite the evident hindrance and inconvenience in environment, Latin students carried out their classroom activities to gain honors in the contests. Hobart High School was indeed fortunate again this year to have a well-qualified, efficient, and helpful librarian, M rs. Bailey. Mrs. Bailey attended Ball State College and Purdue University and obtained her A.B. and M.S. degrees. She attended summer classes in order to finish work on her library science degrees. Mrs. Bailey decided that she pre- ferred library work to teaching after she was employed as a partime librarian. When she began her career she was qualified to teach English and history. Any student who used the library found that Mrs. Bailey was always on hand to answer their questions and direct them in its use. M rs. Bailey had many other duties as our librarian. She ordered all new books. She did this with the help of recommendation from the department heads and students. Mrs. Bailey ordered all textbooks and distributed them upon arrival. Her year’s work included marking and cata- loging new books, keeping circulation records, and sending out notices on over due books. 25
