Student Involvement Can Result In Change Each year it seems that, as we anticipate the new school year, we look back on past years— comparing, planning, changing our goals. 1973 is no different. Stepping into the halls of Hobart High School once again, we realize that, although it looks the same, it feels different. We are each a year older, more experienced. Hopefully, that experience has given us new ideas. The resolutions we have made (or whether we have made any) will determine not only this year, but will affect our entire lives. The mistakes of the past do not have to be repeated. We can change them. But we must be willing to work. One day can change the world — today may be that day. And if we cannot solve the world ' s problems yet, perhaps we will in 1974, at least leave a mark on HHS.

Hobart High Responds To Energy Crunch “ Speed Limit 55 , Sorry, no g as available , and “ Dial Down were a few of the numerous signs that urged people to conserve energy. As the entire country suffered through the energy crisis, Hobart High School had to suffer, too. Measures were taken by the school adminis- tration to help solve the energy problem. Students were asked to use the school bus service instead of driving their cars to school. The price of gas was soaring and the bus system was even afraid of cutbacks due to the nation ' s gas shortage. If they must drive they were urged to slow down and try to arrange car pools to eliminate unnecessary driving. When Pres- ident Nixon had the country turn their clocks back an hour and turn their heat down, students came to school in darkness and many kept their coats on in class. Top — Although prices soared and complaints were loud, long lines were still found waiting to get gas before stations were pumped dry of their monthly supply. Right— When temperatures in the classrooms were lowered to conserve energy, Seniors Karen Wallace and Pat Olovich found it necessary to wear coats while working. 4 Opening
