CROWN POINT INKLINGS 7 Senior Reminiscences on the Faculty % Not all of us were privileged to know Mr. Grinstead but those who can dimly recall the class in Gen¬ eral Social Science offered for a semester for the mid-year class re¬ member him as an excellent teacher, one who knows students and their problems. He was principal during his term of service at C. P. H. S., which ended mid-term, 1927. Mr. Leinweber is well remembered by all who knew him, for his activities as assistant superintendent and principal kept him constantly before the student body. Mr. Schmitt’s smile greets us as we look back for not only was he our superintendent but he guided us through the per¬ ilous canyons of Algebra. Each of Miss Blind’s students know that his or her use of Euglish has been broadened by presence in her classes. Efficiency and deft management char- arterize for us Miss Holser, who in- iated the school cafeteria and started some of the senior girls on the road to domesticity. A cheery “good¬ morning” reminds us of Miss Inger- soll, the blond, smiling young woman who laid the foundations of our French department. Those who had Algebra III under Mr. Gocker re¬ member his quietness of manner and his thorough explanations. Mr. Crane’s manual training shop was a source of interest for the boys. Mr. Paton’s interests were mostly with the upper-classmen but his un¬ failing good humor helped start the day right. He was also sponsor of the Hi-Y Club. The excellent work dene by Miss Coffman in the speech department will not soon be forgot¬ ten; she also had charge of Latin. The year of ' 1928-29 brought several new faces. Remember all the field trips with Mr. Stephens, you biolo¬ gy students ? And the drawing— me of the sophs thought they had wandered into art class by mistake! Miss Haven came to replace Mr. Paton in the teaching of social studies, and did—methodically and well. Mrs. Schmitt, wife of the su¬ perintendent, took charge of the French classes. Miss Cultra gave us just a taste of her charming per¬ sonality before she undertook to practice all she had learned about household management on her new¬ ly acquired husband. Miss Roden- berger looked after the health of the students in her capacity as school nurse. Sept. 1 — Opening of school term. Sept. 18 — Joe Charri. Sept. 27 — Morocco (0) vs. Crown Point (26).
