The Hebron High School Class of 2014 will be

making their final school day entrance into Heb-

ron High School on Thursday, June 5th. Due to

the abundance of snow days we encountered

this year, commencement is being held the

evening of the last day of school. The seniors

this year are required to go to their last day of

classes in order to get their diplomas. As always,

there were a lot of decisions made by this years

graduating class about the specifics of their

ceremony. The class flower this year is the Dai-

sy. Instead of the traditional red gowns that

Hebron girls have worn for years, the class has

the girls wearing white while the boys wear red.

The guest

speaker at this years’ graduation ceremony will

be English teacher Mr. Jared Grigsby, and the

quote decided on by the class is attributed to

Arthur C. Clarke, who said, “The only way to dis-

cover the limits of the possible, is to go beyond

them into the impossible.”

It will be bittersweet seeing the 2014 class leave.

We wish them the very best, wherever life takes

them after high school.

Hawks Baseball

Girls Softball Recently the Heb-ron Lady Hawks beat South Cen-tral in the first round of the PCC tournament with an amazing score of 21-6. That win leads the Hawks into the champi-onship game against the Boone Grove Wolves. It was a tight game with no score for the first 5 inning, then Boone

managed to score and they took the win and the PCC title with a final score 0-1. May 21, 2014 the Hawks got an amazing win against the KV Kougars. Hebron won 8-4. Next week the Hawks will be playing

Bishop Noel in the first round of sectionals on Wednesday, May 28.

The IHSAA

Baseball Sec-

tional Pairings

were released

and the Hawks

were put up

against the Boone Grove Wolves in the first round

of sectionals on Wednesday, May 29. This is will be

the third time in the 2014 baseball season that

Hebron and Boone Grove will go head to head. We

hope to see all you fans come out and support the

Hawks at Oil City Stadium in Whiting for the sec-

tional games.

Thank you to all the fans that have come out to

support the Hawks baseball team this season. You

have all been a great crowd to have at the games

and the team appreciates your support.

As the weather heats up so do the Hebron Hawks.

The Hawks baseball team has a record of 15-8 so far

in this 2014 season. Hebron was on a four game

winning streak after defeating Tri-Central (22-1),

Oregon-Davis (12-2), Rensselaer (12-3), and South

Central (14-5). The four game winning streak was

snapped Saturday after a loss to Whiting. The Hawks

started another winning streak of two games after

the loss by defeating Hammond Morton and Lowell.

The two game winning run ended due to a Griffith

loss.

The Hawks had their first game of the PCC Tourna-

ment on Wednesday, May 21 in a matchup against

The Hebron Boys took Round Robin and PCC for the second time in fifteen years. Blake Wallace led

the Hawks to victory as he took first in the 100 meter dash, second in the long jump, third in the 200

meter dash. Mathew Lyons helped with a third place finish in the 110 hurdles and a second in the 300

competitors in the high jump and 400 meter dash. The freshmen of the team also stepped up with Scott

Crawley winning the 800 and Joe McNeill winning the 2 mile. The boys left the meet as champions

and with motivation for the post season.

On behalf of all of us here at Hebron High School,

The Hebron Chapter also held a party on May 16th to say goodbye to the graduating seniors and show them how much their work was appreciated on behalf of the chap-ter. Also in May, members were busy conducting a food drive where members went out and collected goods for the Hebron Country Pantry.

Looking forward, our Hebron HS NHS is teaming up with the Lowell HS NHS chapter to help with their Cancer Walk on May 31. We collected water to help supply the water stations the day of the walk from the school community. Dona-tions came from students, teachers, the Hebron Chapter of Business Professionals of America, and Chartwells.

National Honor Society Advisor Mrs. Kiner and the members wish you a wonderful, restful summer and look forward to working with you next year on behalf of the Hebron Community.

Our Summer Reading Program will be kicking into gear just as school is ending, and we'd love to get more

teens involved in our program. Our theme this year is Spark A Reaction, and we have some great prizes for

teens who participate in our Online Summer Reading, as well as a number of great events lined up, including: Myth

busters; Robots & Robotics; The Amazing Race: Fandom Worlds Collide; DIY Spa Science; and more. We also have a

need for more teen volunteers for our program, which is an excellent way to get job experience and hours for

NHS. For more information, please see the attached flyer (on the next page of this publication).

We are now in the month of May and that means that the nice, warm weather will be coming back to stay. With the warm weather we all need a refresher about our school dress code. All tops must be covering the shoulders of the student. If the top has shoulder straps, the straps must be three fingers wide. The shorts and skirts of the student must have the appropriate length. The lengths we are looking for in a student’s

bottoms are to the fingertips when your arms are fully extended at your sides. Inappropriate tight-ness of clothing is also not allowed. Anoth-er thing that comes to mind when the weather gets warmer is holes in jeans/shorts. There is to be no tears in legwear above the knees. We hope you keep these rules in mind in the morning before you come to school, so there won’t be a need

to call home for a more appropriate replacement!

Dress Code Reminder

cuts at the state level Keep our current staff and replace those that may leave Pay our operating costs that keep going up each year while

funding is going down Please remember to vote for representatives who support education in November!
