Last Friday, freshmen had the opportunity to participate in one of the highlights of the school year: Mum Day. Many were nervous at first but really enjoyed the experience.

“It was everything I expected and more,” freshman Stephen English said. “It was definitely the best day at Hoban so far.”

“There are no words to describe it,” freshman Rachel Rodgers said.

One impressive aspect of the day was the pep rally.

“My favorite part was when it was all quiet and everyone started doing the H-O-B-A-N cheer. It was so loud that it sent chills up my spine,” English said.

Staying quiet the whole day made the rally even more exciting.

“Not talking was hard at first but I got used to it,” English said.

The day was not all fun and games, though, as many freshmen were picked on by the seniors.

“They tried to steal my lunch but I didn’t have anything good,” Rodgers said.

“As I entered the school, I had to drop my books and do 10 pushups after a freshman caution tape sash was thrown over my shoulder,” English said. “The seniors creped around our table at lunch.”

Overall, the day left the newcomers ready for the game.

“I was so pumped!” Rodgers said.
