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 attendees 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 dinner, and the dance will end at midnight. This year, dinner will consist of baked chicken, mostaccioli, mashed potatoes, California A P R I L 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 grinding 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!

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!

The 2015 Hebron Girls Softball season has finally begun and they have played two of the hardest teams to begin their season, 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!

Their first meet is April 14th at 4:30, where they re hoping 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 accomplishments 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.

At the end of each year, the seniors at Hebron get a chance to create their own displays, showcased in the main hallway, to reflect their artwork and their personalities at Hebron High School. The seniors who will be displaying their artwork are Billy Balding, Matt Chambers, Matt Frey, Gabby Heinold, Kaylea Malcolm, Ashley Rumford, Aliyah Spencer, and Sam Stueber.

4 P A G E 4 National Honor Society The Hebron High School National Honor Society has been very busy the past few weeks. We organized the annual Red Cross Blood Drive last month and collected 52 pints, potentially saving up to 156 lives! We want to thank everyone who donated or helped out to make this such a success. We will also be selling leftover Brian Novreske T-shirts, so if anyone 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 pantry. This is an amazing cause and if you would like to donate, once again see an NHS member or Mrs. Kiner in the upcoming 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! Yearbooks for Sale!
