Lunch 1 1 Lunch hours at HHS show variety of activity Lunch hours at HHS meant different things to different students. For some, it was a chance to eat or study or even leave the school grounds for a smoke. Many students took advantage of the 50 C cafeteria meals, especially during bad weather. Due to the closing of the snack bar by a state order, popularity of cafeteria eating rose as ice cream, crackers, cake, and cookies, as well as hot lunches, were sold Others preferred the walk or ride to the Dairy Queen, while some students risked the chance of being stopped by trains and drove to Burger King. And then, of course, there were the old familiar sack lunches to be eaten where- ever the holder desired. Some usual pastimes included cruising 8th and Fleming Streets or any other part of Hobart, studying, going to the Library, sitting outside and just being with friends. For some students, lunch time also meant the time to make up tardiness or wrong-doings by occupying seat in detention. To all, lunch time was a nice break from the rou- tine of the day.

Musical presentations dominate HHS convos Students at HHS were treated to many dif- ferent types of convos during the year that ranged from pep sessions to variations of popular songs. Also included in musical pre- sentations were the Ball State University Singers, who sang hits from “the good old days” and now, and also the Indiana State Woodwind Ensemble, featuring a violinist’s solo. A convo on Nuclear Energy was offered to science classes and conducted by a science major from Purdue University. An addition to observing Patriotism Week was a talk on American feeling by guest speaker Jack Hyles. The Christmas convo included a skit by some of the teachers and music by the Madrigals. Pep sessions were held before homecoming games and other important football, basket- ball or wrestling matches. They were usually attended by Booster Club, H-men, Jazz band and ticket h olders, with speeches by coaches and skits by the cheerleaders presented.
