Throwback Game The First Annual Throwback Classic on November 28th marked one hundred years of basketball at Hebron High School, and was a matchup between the Kouts Mustangs and Hebron Hawks. For this game, both teams wore replicated uniforms of early teams at each school, and after the game, some of these jerseys were auctioned off. The cheerleaders from both teams also sported poodle skirts in honor of the throwback theme. The result of the game was a Hebron Hawk victory with a score of 66 to 44, breaking the Mustangs regular season winning streak against the Hawks. It was the first time that Hebron beat Kouts during the regular season since This game brought the Hawks to a record of two wins, now five since beating Lacrosse at the Homecoming Game last Friday, and they have yet been defeated.

5 V O L U M E 5, I S S U E 4 Hawk s Nest P A G E 5 The Hawk s Nest is once again carrying peppermint mocha cappuccino for the season! Just $1.00 a cup! Don t forget, we still carry all your school supply needs such as notecards, folders, pens, poster board, and many other needs that may come up during the course of the day. We also deliver during SRT! The store is located at the concession stand and is open mornings from 7:10 to 7:40! The Business Professionals of America is having a fundraiser for their trip to Indianapolis for the State Leadership Conference. We are selling Little Caesar s pizza kits through January 15. Call on a BPA member, or Mrs. King-Licht at kingl@hebronschools.k12.in.us The Art Department really needs plastic baby food jars for their various paints and mixes! If you have these available, please send them in to Mrs. Jania! Kiner s Corner We ve been hard at work in the media center. Student and adult aides have helped Mrs. Kiner move the classic books to the area where the periodicals were once located. This was the perfect place because periodicals are no longer subscribed to. So, what was once wasted space has become useful again. The classics are noted with a yellow sticker by the barcode for fiction and a blue sticker for non -fiction. If a catalog search is done it will show up as CL FIC LEE. In an effort to eliminate paper cost, the media center is doing their part. The blue binder that was once created to help identify Reading Counts books is slowly being replaced by colored dots on the spines of books. Each RC book will have a green sticker for fiction and an aqua sticker for non-fiction. It will also include the lexile. In the back of the book, there will be a red RC with a number. This indicates the number of points. So, the blue binder will remain until all books have been transferred over to this new system. Any new book coming in will be done this way.
