Seniors understudy city officials, teachers Students suddenly began to file out of the building as the shrill sounds of fire engines could be heard in the distance. As the firemen raced into the building, students recognized the familiar faces of HHS seniors who had taken over the jobs of various city officials. With the cooperation of Hobart’s fire department, seniors were able to stage a fire at the high school on Government and Education Day, April 15. Mayor, clerk-treasurer, policemen, firemen and other city officials for- feited a days ' work to those seniors chosen by a student council com- mittee. Randy Lacey, Beth Ruwaldt, Keith Addison and Janet Girtman filled the positions of mayor, clerk-treasurer, city engineer and postmaster. Taking Police Chief Rober t Frank ' s job was Charlie Boston and filling in for Fire Chief Harrigan was John Ledyard. Acquaiting first graders with their ABC ' s, preparing kindergarteners for their naps and giving pop quizzes to reluctant students familiarized seniors with a teacher ' s responsibility. Acting not only as teachers, seniors also occupied the positions of ele- mentary and high school principals, deans and guidance counselors.

school spirit eminent in sports, academics I like to laugh, it is one of my favorite pastimes, explained Brigitte Segonnes, Hobart ' s 1969-70 Ameri- can Field Service student. Leaving behind her parents, her two sisters and one brother, Brigitte arrived from Cadillac, France, and was greeted by her American family, the Richard Gilbertsons, who she re- sided with during her stay in Hobart. Experiencing her first snowfall, at- tending exciting football games and blowing out the candles at her sur- prise birthday party left many re- membrances as Brigitte gazed back on her transition to American life.
