Required Mandatory courses provide needed facts. Required course blues. This is something most students go through at one time or another. For example, the required courses of U.S. History, Economics, Government, and English are vital parts of the prescribed study. Students who read or watched the news regularly were undoubtedly aware of the fact that the United States faced a series of economic problems; food prices increased 12.2 percent and home heating fuel went up five cents on the gallon. With better knowledge of economics, students can cope with these problems more efficiently. Who know, maybe one of these days we might produce someone who will be able to solve our problems. Study of scarce resources and how to use them in different ways is what economics is about. “Economics isn’t something some of us like, but one semester of the class is required to graduate,” stated Mr. John Hodges, Economics teacher. Mr. Hodges commented, “Economic problems are going to affect us, and the study of economics can help us to overcome these problems.” Since 18-25 year olds produce the fewest number of voters at election time, the main objective of Government class is to try to encourage and inform young voters. “Every citizen has a responsibility to support a party,” proclaimed Mr. Ronald Roach, Government instructor. Mr. Roach added that, “the system is not perfect but you have a right to vote for the people of your choice.” “I would hope that sophomores interested in Social Studies will take some of the available electives to prepare them for the required subjects they must face the next two years,” stated Mr. David Sausser, U.S. History teacher. For the organization of one common language, students must take Sophomore English. “All students study at the same pace before they get a chance to choose electives, yet for some it’s their last sound year of structural English because some choose to take the English courses that only require a limited amount of skills,” stated Mrs. Betty DeVol, English instructor. Mike Pfau, sophomore, commented that “Sophomore English helped build my vocabulary and grammar to an extent where now I can write with great confidence.” Grade A.

Hobart Baking and breaking of the Brickies Spirits had never been higher than that August evening when the football team performed a miracle that even they couldn’t believe. Warren just called it “terrific.” Feet pounded on the dewy grass, and crowds screamed as eager students rushed to the green carpeted field to form the traditional “human tunnel.” Signs proclaimed, “Hang Hobart,” and handfuls of confetti fell like snow on a winter evening. Throats and hands grew sore from the constant cheering, though not in vain. Our football heroes handed Hobart their first and only loss of the season. What a way to start the new school year. Electrifying. Crowds thronged to the gates and milled about the concession stand anticipating the “biggest high school game of the week,” Hobart vs. Warren Central. Hobart was ranked number one in the state during pre-season, so it was a game easily labeled, “the favorites vs. the underdogs.” Black and gold abounded during the day, as football players proudly displayed their jerseys, bandsmen displayed T-shirts and jackets, and cheerleaders their sparkling, pleated outfits. Though the school was relatively quiet as students passed from class to class, the tension built as each period elapsed. Finally, students were released from school to anticipate the 7:30 starting of the game. People began arriving as early as 6:30 to insure themselves a seat. Some fans drifted toward the bleachers, which were already full. Spirits were high and so were heads as the football team warmed up on the field and the band marched by the home crowd. Fans traveled from Hobart and beyond to witness the crucial game. Several area T.V. stations and both newspapers sent reporters to the scene of the de- crowning of the number one ranked team in the state. Reporters were to call it a “stunning upset,” but Time Out! Coach Jerry Stauffer uses the familiar “T” to summon his players together for more strategy against Hobart. Yell a Little Louder! Yelling with all her might, varsity cheerleader Kelley McQueen tries to get the crowd in the balcony to show their spirit. O O Summer Hobart
