T his year, Hebron High

School’s Prom will take place on

April 25th, 2015, and the theme is

“A Masquerade Moment”. The Grand March

which is open to anyone that wishes to attend

is being held at 4:30 in the Hebron

High School auditorium, and at-

tendees must be there by 4:00 to

line up. Pictures for all prom goers

will be taken shortly after the

Grand March. The dance will be

held at the usual venue of the

Macedonian Cultural Center (St. Peter and

Paul), at 9660 Broadway in Crown Point, and

the doors will open at 6 pm. All prom goers

will be expected to show up by 7 pm for din-

ner, and the dance will end at midnight. This

year, dinner will consist of baked chicken,

mostaccioli, mashed potatoes, California

blend vegetables, and ice cream. Something

to remember is that there will be a random

breathalyzer held at the door; if you are

caught drinking you will be asked

to leave the prom and no refunds

will be given. Also, the “no grind-

ing” rule will still be in effect, and

wristbands will be provided at

the door. If students are caught

grinding, they will have their

wristband removed as their first offense, and

if they are caught again, they will be asked to

leave the venue. We are extremely excited for

this year’s prom and we want to wish the

students and staff a safe and fun time!

A Masquerade Moment

The Music Man Hebron High School’s spring musical production this year is The Music Man, written by Meredith Willson in 1957. The Music Man is a story about a con man named Harold Hill who poses as a boys’ band organizer in and leader in 1912 and sells band instruments and uniforms to the naïve Iowa towns-folk, promising to train the members of the new band. But, Harold is no musician and plans to skip town without giving any music lessons at all. Librarian and piano teacher Marian Paroo sees through him and inevitably falls in love. Harold risks his life and career to be with her. Come and support your Hebron High School Drama Club to see how the story unfolds. Director Jared Grigsby, along with the students of Hebron High School’s Drama Department, are working diligently to memorize lines, perform choreography, and practice singing the songs to make this the best production yet. Upcoming show dates are Friday April 10th and Saturday April 11th starting at 7 pm, and Sunday April 12th starting at 2 pm. The Hebron Drama Department hopes to see all of you there!

Baseball

The 2015 Hebron Girls Softball season has finally begun and they have played two of the hardest teams to begin their sea-son, back-to-back. The season opener was a home game against Lowell, one of the toughest teams they would have to play all year. Hebron held their own, however, making it a one point game by the fourth inning. Lowell scored one more run and won by the seventh, making it a 4-2 loss. Regardless of starting their season off with a loss, they played well and held their heads high. The day after that, they played Portage, which is one of the best teams in the region. The loss was a tough one, but the team used that momentum to defeat Winamac 6-3. Their next games are Saturday, April 11th against Hobart and Tuesday, April 14th against Whiting. Our lady hawks softball team has so much potential this year, and we are excited to see what they will bring in the future. Come out and support your 2015 Hebron Hawks Softball Team!

Hebron baseball has begun! The

boys scrimmaged Morgan Town-

ship on Wednesday, April 1st and

had their season opener against

Andrean on Saturday, April 4th.

Although the boys did not come

out victorious, they worked hard

and showed huge potential. Go-

ing 15-11 and winning PCC Round

Robin last year, the baseball team

has set high expectations for

themselves. Doing so well in the

past, we are anticipating great

outcomes from the team this year!

Their game against Wheeler High

School at the Gary Railcats Stadi-

um was cancelled due to the

weather, but it was rescheduled

for next Wednesday, April 15th.

You can purchase your tickets at

the stadium for only $5. Their up-

coming games include Saturday,

April 11th against Knox and Mon-

day, April 13th at Whiting. Come

out to support your Hebron Boys

Baseball Team to see some more

exciting and memorable games!

Senior Art Show

The girls and boys track teams

have been working hard since

the beginning of March, getting

in shape for their track season.

The throwers are building their

muscles, the sprinters are build-

ing their speed, the distance run-

ners are building their endur-

ance, and the rest of the team is

getting back into the groove of

things. Their first meet is April

14th at 4:30, where they’re hop-

ing to do their best and start the

season off with a win. In their

first meet, the Hawks will be

hosting the LaCrosse Tigers and

the Covenant Christian Knights.

The Girls Track Team’s goals

are to have as many accomplish-

ments as they can and to grow

close as a team and a track and

field family. Our seniors this

year, Liz Fox and Kelly Steffan,

are hoping to lead their team

with confidence and strength

this year, and foreign exchange

students Marijana Damjanac

and Nadja Gerhards are looking

forward to being a part of a

Track and Field team for the

first time. After coming off a

great 2014 season, including

winning the PCC meet and win-

ning PCC Round-Robin, the

Boys Track Team looks to con-

tinue to dominate the PCC in

2015. Four members of the

2014 team that are returning for

the 2015 season made it to re-

gionals last year, including: Joe

MacNeill in the two mile, Scott

Crawley in the 800m, Eric

Brebner in the one mile, and

Brad Blank in the high jump.

Future meets for boys and girls

track include Thursday, April

16th at 4:30 where the Hawks

will host Knox, and Monday,

April 20th at 4:30 at River For-

est. The 2015 PCC Meet is

about a month away and will be

hosted by Hebron this year. The

meet will be held on Saturday,

May 9th at 9:00 am. We wish

both teams good luck this sea-

son and hope to hear more from

them about their achievements.

Our senior art students are currently

getting prepared to display their art-

work that they have created through-

out their years at Hebron to

the rest of the student body

and faculty. At the end of

each year, the seniors at

Hebron get a chance to cre-

ate their own displays,

showcased in the main hallway, to re-

flect their artwork and their personali-

ties at Hebron High School. The sen-

iors who will be displaying their art-

work are Billy Balding, Matt Cham-

bers, Matt Frey, Gabby Heinold,

Kaylea Malcolm, Ashley

Rumford, Aliyah Spen-

cer, and Sam Stueber.

The art show will start on

May 4th and goes all the

way until May 22nd. So

come out to support your senior artists

to see all of the beautiful works of art

they have created. Congrats seniors!

National Honor Society The Hebron High School National Honor Society has been very busy the past few weeks. We organized the an-nual Red Cross Blood Drive last month and collected 52 pints, potentially sav-ing up to 156 lives! We want to thank everyone who do-nated or helped out to make this such a success. We will also be selling leftover Brian Novreske T-shirts, so if any-one wants to buy one or has an idea of what we can do with them, please talk to an NHS member or Mrs. Kiner. Furthermore, we will be having our annual Town-wide Food Drive next month in mid-May. This is a time where everyone gets together and goes out into the community to collect

items to donate to our local food pan-try. This is an amazing cause and if you would like to donate, once again see an NHS member or Mrs. Kiner in the up-coming weeks. NHS members can also

get hours by helping out with the musical or the dodgeball tournament, and returning members can get hours by working at graduation, or volunteering this summer at the Hebron Public Library. We will also be having our last meeting next month, so we want to encourage all the

freshman who are interested in being NHS members to apply next year in the fall. Thank you to all students and faculty members who have made this year so fun and successful!

ed to the most recent version. Searching on the catalog is now more simple

than it’s ever been. If you need a book for Reading Counts, you can search

with that modifier. If you need a specific Lexile range, you can search by that

modifier too. So, check it out when you get a chance. Log onto the media cen-

ter website and click on the catalogue link to start exploring!
