THE HOBARTIAN
the things school held in store for us. Everything was not all joy. Often we would just get acquainted with someone when he would move. At other times the lessons would seem too hard to do, but the teachers were always more than friends. They were thoughtful and understanding. The years in the grades went swiftly. During those eight short years the school not only helped to improve our minds, but also gave us a chance to adapt ourselves to others. During those years at school we had a character to build.
High school brings a more advanced type of education. It was thought a few years ago that high school was not needed to complete a person's education, but now there are only a few who do not graduate from secondary school.
The school offers many outside activities such as baseball, basketball, football and other athletic sports. Club work such as is found in the 4-H Club and the Glee Club, gives pupils a chance to become more closely associated outside the classroom. Athletic contests keep pupils in touch with other schools.
Maintaining school spirit, that something inside us which prompts us to sacrifice for the glory of our school, is the duty of every pupil. School spirit is important not only in athletics, but also in all other activities carried on in the school.
We owe everything we are to our school. Without an education we would be ignorant. We would not be able to read, write or even think for ourselves. We would grow up with a child's mind.

Mothers
The second Sunday in May is observed as Mother's Day. This is the day when we honor our mothers and pay tribute to them. I wonder if we really realize the value of our mothers. They scrub, cook, and sew for our benefit. When we have troubles, and go to our mother with them, she will try to help us. After we are grown up and away from home, our mother is still willing that we go to her with our troubles. She shields us and tries to guide us along the right road of life. No matter what sort of life we live, our mother's love is always there to comfort us. What is home and happiness without a mother to help make it?

THE HOBARTIAN
A Tribute
The staff of the Hobartian and the members of the Senior Class wish to take this opportunity to express the regret of the student body of the Hobart school at the departure of four of the faculty members from our midst. Each of the retiring teachers has worked earnestly and patiently for the pupils of Hobart, not only in the class room, but also in the several outside activities with which the teachers have been associated.
Miss Glahn, teacher of music and drawing, has been in Hobart three years. During this time she has conducted the high school orchestra and glee club, which have appeared at public occasions many times. In offering courses in representation, craft and music theory in the high school, she has given the students a wider choice of subjects.
Miss Alwill, librarian and French teacher, completes her third year at Hobart. Conducting the use of the library for the best interests of the pupils, she has always been willing in her efforts to make the library an important department in our education.
Mr. Smith, who has been in Hobart two years, taught English and American history. With much of his time devoted to the interests of the Senior Class, he has directed their plays and helped in the production of the yearbook, which is essentially a Senior activity.
Miss Scheider, who came to Hobart from Columbia University, where she had been studying for a master's degree in English, taught in the pre-academic department, grades seven and eight. She has been successful in rounding out the pre-high school days of our new Freshman class.
