Dances HHS students look back on dances What year would be complete without the dances at the high school? On Friday nights a sock hop would be held after the game. Win or lose, it was the place to be. There were also special dances which hold special memories for the students. Who could forget the homecoming dances, the semi-formal, or the Aloha, Seniors dance? Besides being fun, the dances also helped raise much-needed funds for the organiza- tions which sponsored them. Student Council, Math Club, and Honor Society, to name a few of the groups, along with chaperones, helped to make the dances memorable. Above — Derek Imboden. Joe Vossberg. and Chris Mundy demonstrate their famous chair-dancing technique at a sock hop. Above left — Students at the Aloha. Seniors dance take a break to cool off during the action.

Competitors Academic teams move into spotlight Highlighting the school year’s academic achievements were the many academic com- petitions in which Hobart competed and placed in. Beginning the year was Hobart’s Spell Bowl Team which received a first place award at regionals. However, the team’s score wasn’t high enough to compete at the state level. Next was the Academic Decath- lon Team which placed third in superquiz competition. Jay Lee placed first in the hon- ors’ division for the interview section of com- petition. Terry Choncoff took third in speech and in the all-around varsity division, and Pat Menke took third in the varsity alter- nate competition for fine arts. The Hoosier Academic Super Bowl Team, which grew out of the Decathlon Team, took first place with its English squad at regionals and went on to state. The Problem-Solvers also won the privilege to compete at the state level.
