HHS Displays the P Word to Raise Funds As a result of the ban of candy sales announced at the beginning of the 1988 school year, the freshman and sophomore classes provided the students with their first pop machine. The machine was introduced in an attempt to make up for the losses caused by the candy sale ban and the profits were divided evenly between the two classes. Students were only able to purchase the pop before and after school. The ma- chine was not available during the lunch hours due to complaints from the lunching staff and state nutritional regulations. Overall, the reaction of the students to the introduction of the pop machine was positive. This was evident by the long lines of thirsty kids waiting to buy a refreshing drink. Though the offices refused to provide change for the machine, a fair amount of profit was generated. Whether or not the excitement of HHS having a pop machine will produce enough revenue to fund the various class sponsored activities in the years to come, it has fulfilled its present goal. A student purchases a can of pop after school from the newly installed machine. u eliiu Chosen as 1st Female Mayor Former city clerk, Mrs. Margaret Kuchta, de- feated Mr. Bob Malizzo in the mayoral election on November 3, 1987. Kuchta had held the position of city clerk for twelve years before becoming Hob- art’s first female mayor. She also served as presi- dent of the PTA and the president of the City-wide PTA. Kuchta strongly supported an elected school board rather than an appointed board. She stated that the elected board would be more accountable and accessible to the people. Kuchta felt that the positive aspects of HHS included its sports programs and strong academic curriculum, its music and art programs, and its gen- uine concern about the students (for example, the formation of the committee to study drug and alco- hol) . Kuchta commented that the weaker points of Hobart and its schools were the financial situation and the fact that the school’s public image was hurt by the circumstances surrounding the resignation of both the superintendent and assistant superin- tendent in 1986. “A city the size of Hobart needs recreational facilities for its youth,” Kuchta said. “These facili- ties would include organized sports, dances, and places where the young can just ' hang out,’ talk, or work on projects.” Finally, she stressed the fact that she feels we must listen to our young people because they have many good ideas and the enthusiasm and energy to make those good ideas happen.

This was a familiar site to most people in Northwest Indiana. Many HHS students spent most of their summer, both days and nights, at the beach. Lake Michigan had much to offer, and whether they were swimming, waterskiing, or just socializing, students continually flocked to its shor es. The sun-filled days provided us with many memories and experi- ences, like when we woke up early in order to find that “perfect” spot on the beach. Remember the long bare-footed walks to the car over the blistering hot pavement? What about the Speedo clad “men” who timed their sand-spraying activities directly with your lotion applications? Could we ever forget the sinking feeling after finding the little pink par- king tickets on our windshields at Shelby Beach? Though we may have complained and objected, we knew we would be back the following summer to relive the experiences and persevere. — Julie Coons TRENDS In the annual whirl of fashion, HHS students exhibited their ver- ons of the “in” styles. The popularity of sweats, tattered jeans, and retch pants faded away and was quickly replaced with ice-washed nim, mini shirts, scarves, and cropped tops. The potpourri of fab- cs and colors wove a tapestry of excitement for both the students d teachers. For example, Mr. Scheiman opted for the relaxing, sub- ed look of earthtones, while many students projected a vibrant inbow of colors. They evenly displayed the revived surged towards ttons and wool as well as the introduction of lycra and rayon. Many students’ hairstyles took on new heights. Males, for exam- e, chose styles ranging from shaved heads and long permed hair, n the other hand, most females opted for long hair with short lay- ed bangs. The looks that students chose expressed their individuality and ded character to the halls of HHS. — Julie Coons
