HOBART HIGH SCHOOL

vaulting apparatus and swings which have been so generously provided by the patrons of the school. That the scholars appreciate these is evidenced by the fact that they are in almost constant use when school is not in session. High scholarship is required of all who wish to be members of any athletic team. Few schools attain as high an average in their lessons as ours.

In the fall and winter the High School basket ball team is allowed to practice only one night in the week and then only for one hour, and the Board of Education has very judiciously limited the use of the gymnasium for social activities on basket ball nights to eleven o'clock, and on other nights to twelve o'clock, and in addition, these activities are arranged at the weekend. In these ways studies are not interfered with and scholarship is placed first. We feel that in order to accomplish the most, each scholar should study at least two and one-half hours each day outside of school.

Our new school building is admired by all visitors to Hobart. It shows that the community is progressive and wide-awake. The Board of Education and all the people of Hobart can well congratulate themselves that they now have a school building which contains an auditorium 60x40 feet, that will hold an audience of 400 and large enough for the accommodation of all the people who wish to attend any of the school functions; also a building equipped with the latest facilities for doing work.

An excellent school spirit has prevailed throughout the school year. Teachers and students have co-operated in a splendid manner and I wish to take this opportunity to thank them.

The Board of Education has manifested a very kind, helpful and encouraging attitude. The patrons of the school generally, have also shown a favorable interest. It is to be hoped that this conditions may continue and that even better results for Hobart High School may be realized.

Our chief aim in education is to develop character and to so educate the scholars that they can adapt themselves successfully to whatever environment they may live in and win out in life's struggles, thereby producing honest, reliable and Christian American Citizens.
