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.
