YOHANSince there are quite a few new students in Hobart High School each year who are unacquainted with Yohan, we would like to explainwho Yohan is. The following excerpt is taken from an interview between Yohan and a reporter for the Ho-Hi Life:“Yohan Petrovich.that’s me. I’m what some people might call a genie, but I’m not really, I’m just an unattached spirit that floats aroundschool.I’ve been here for quite a while; in fact, I’ve been here since 1910. That’s when the school was built.I wasn’t discovered until 1942, when I projected myself into George Zupko’s subconscious mind and coaxed him to write my name on astudy hall list. That was the first time I was heard of but, of course, I was here all the time.You know that little character that’s layin’ brick, well that’s me. No one realized it until I planted the idea of using the little Brickie as myearthly self. Later they honored me by using my picture in the box, “Yohan Says.” You can imagine how proud I was. Look for me. I’llbe waiting for you.”HOBART FIGHT SONGOH, OUR TEAM WILL SHINE TONIGHTOUR TEAM WILL SHINEOUR TEAM WILL SHINE TONIGHTOUR TEAM WILL SHINEOUR TEAM WILL SHINE TONIGHTOUR TEAM WILL SHINEWHEN THE SUN GOES DOWNAND THE MOON COMES UPOUR TEAM WILL SHINE - GO TEAM GOOH, WHEN THE HOBART BRICKIESFALL IN LINEWE’RE GONNA WIN THIS GAMEANOTHER TIMEAND FOR THAT DEAR OLD SCHOOLWE LOVE SO WELLAND FOR THAT OLD BALL TEAMWE’LL YELL AND YELL AND YELLWE’RE GONNA FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHTFOR EVERY SCOREWE’RE GONNA WIN THIS GAME ANDTHEN SOME MOREWE’RE GONNA ROLL THOSE (opponent)ON THE SIDE, ON THE SIDE.RO-O-O-LL HEY!
