However, the board has a great influence upon high school life. Mr. Ahlgrim, having been chosen postmaster of the Michigan City post office, was forced to resign his position on the Board in March. His position was filled by Mr. B. L. Sieb. We, the students, appreciate the interest which the members of the Board take in us, and we wish them success and happiness in their work.

No guardians Cofficersl were appointed to care for the new born babe. nor did the child attend any social functions. However, while growing into its second year, it elected the following officers: Edward Evert, president: james Stevens, vice-president: and Elsie Flotow, secretary-treasurer. The party given for the freshmen was its only social affair that year. When three years old, Junior put these people into office: james Stevens, president: Edward Evert, vice-presidentg and Elna Adamson, secretary- treasurer. However, due to an injury received in a football game, Stevens was unable to continue in his office, so Clement Putz was chosen as leader. One of its biggest achievements was the play, "Daddy Long-Legs," presented on November 22, I929. The other big event of the year was the Prom given in honor of the Class of I930. ln its fourth year, the class was led by Clement Putz as president: jack Dick as vice-president: and Edna Herbert as secretary-treasurer. The class again gave a very successful play, "Skidding," and was well represented in sports and other activities about school. I7 Tl-IE ELSTONIAN Ency Ahraham Mythology Club 13 Travel Club 3.

Special efforts have been made to emphasize the necessity of cooperation. jointly and severally among the students, to promote individual responsibility, and to cultivate higher standards of scholarship. An important contribution of this yearis Council is the revision of the school handbook. The leaders chosen to guide the destinies of the Council for the year were as follows: First Semester: Ann Orzech, chairman, and Marguerite Hull, secretary. Second Semester: Roger Donoghue, chairman, and Marjorie Dresser. secretary. Council members are elected each semester by the sponsor groups. Each senior and junior room has two representatives, while each sophomore and freshman group has only one. A Council member must meet the eligibility rule in scholarship in order to retain his position on the Council. Since the installation of the Student Cooperative Qrganization in Michigan City High School in l925, Miss Mabel Engstrom has very carefully and systematically supervised the functions of the organization. The success of the student government is due to the interest and unflinching zeal she has shown towards the Student Council and its activities. 37 THE ELSTONIAN ORCHESTRA The orchestra has a membership of forty-five. Two concerts were given during the school year of l930-l93 l. Cne was a combined orchestra concert with Laporte, given in Laporte on December 7, and in Michigan City on December I9. The other concert, an annual affair, was given on February Z7 in our own auditorium to a capacity house. The orchestra again entered the district contest. Officers for the year were Harold Lieber, James Cathcart, and Ruth Krueger. John Staiger and Howard Roeper acted as managers.

A BAND Our concert band has grown from a membership of twenty-one to fifty-two within the last two years, and the present memberships in the auxiliary and third bands, waiting for places in the first band, seem to indicate that it is destined to still greater growth. Smartly attired in crimson and white uniforms, the band makes a snappy appearance on its field maneuvers at football games. This is one of the very few high school bands to use the moving letter formations which have been so popularized by university bands. The annual concert was given on April lil, l93 l.

DEBATERS Because of the hard work of Coach Mack and members of the teams, the debating squad of Michigan City High School had a very successful season this year. The team tied for second place in the district with Riley High School of South Bend. Practice debates were held with both teams of Central of South Bend, and also with both the affirmative and negative teams of Hammond High School. North Liberty forfeited one debate to our negative team, and Plymouth for- feited both debates. ln the debates with l..aporte's teams and with Riley's of South Bend, the negatives were victorious. One conference debate, with no decision, was held with Laporte's negative. lnstead of our old opponent, Central, we took on Riley of South Bend as a conference opponent. Professors Cunningham and lVlcCoy and Umble, of Northwestern Univer- sity and Goshen College, respectively, critic judges in three conference debates, commented very favorably on the work of our teams. The large number of contestants who tried out for debating this year seems to indicate increasing interest in debating. Since debating as an activity received good school backing during the past season, and since the teams at- tained success, there is fair promise for the future of debating in Michigan City High School. The team has high hopes that the coming year will be a still greater and better one for debating because the majority of the present debaters will try out again for the team next fall. 40 THE ELSTONIAN Sitting-Harry Delvlass, Honor Collins.

The play was enthusiastically received by a capacity audience. ml-he New Poor" is a three-act farce, written by Cosmo I-Iamilton. The plot concerns a wealthy family which hires four Russian nobles as servants, with the result that the family gets into society but misses some valuable portraits from the home. The servants, of course, are not real Russians but college students working their way through school. THE CAST .

Regular class work is taken by every boy two or three hours each week, because one unit of physical training is required for graduation. ln class the boys have required work on the rings and parallel bars. After they have done this required gymnastic work, they may wrestle or play base- ball or basketball for the rest of the hour. Mr. Gill did much this year to get more boys interested in athletics. He encouraged them to come out for the varsity teams and, with the help of lVlr. Ellis, the new basketball coach, rounded them into shape for a strenuous season. l-le also formed sponsor leagues for the boys who were not able to compete on the varsity teams. ln the fall, an indoor baseball league was formed with Keith Collins in charge. Keith Was again put in charge of the basketball league and the spring baseball leagues. These leagues gave the boys a chance to compete and develop for the varsity teams. The gym work and the sponsor league have developed many boys and have given them an interest in athletics. There seems to be more interest tal-:en in the varsity sports since the intra-mural games have been in progress. We wish to congratulate Mr. Gill and the boys who were in charge of the sponsor leagues for their fine Work. We hope that they will continue in future years with the excellent work that they have been doing. 49 THE ELSTONIAN FOOTBALL The i930 football team was the most successful team that has ever repre- sented our school. This success was due to the coach, "Andy" Gill, and the fighting spirit of the squad. There were four full teams out for football this year, the largest number that has ever been out for high school football. The subs gave competition for the first team. and much credit goes to the boys for helping the regulars get in shape for a successful season. This is the kind of spirit that builds good football teams for the future. We hope that this spirit never dies out. The season's record shows that Michigan City scored l57 points to its opponents' 43. On September 20 Michigan City's football team opened its season at Benton Harbor. The Benton Harbor team won the state championship of Michigan in l929, so Coach Gill decided that this game would be a good test for the Red Devils. However, the former champs proved no match for our strong team. and the C-illmen won, 20-0. The Red Devils played the team from Morgan Park Military Academy at home on September 27. The Morgan Park Cadets were supposed to be a strong crew, but the determination of our team brought a I9-0 victory for Michigan City. This game. as well as the Benton Harbor game, was a practice one to get the team in shape for a hard conference schedule. October 4 was a gala day in Michigan City, for the high school played its annual home-coming game. Goshen, our old rival, was the opponent. On Friday night the students had a large pep session. Students and Michigan City High School followers were present to see the burning of Goshenis effigy. Students paraded the streets and held up traffic downtown for at least two hours. A large crowd attended the game on Saturday afternoon. Our team was out to avenge the defeat of last year, and when the gun sounded at the end of the game, Michigan City had scored a decisivr victory over Goshen, 52-6. This game was the first conference game of the season. The team enjoyed a rest the following week, as no game was scheduled for October ll. Most of the players journeyed to Hammond to watch the Bears' game with Hammond. The Red Devils were getting the Bears' weak and strong points to know just what to expect in the game against them on the following Saturday. Several other members went to see various college games. On October I8 Michigan City and South Bend Central played a game which ended in a scoreless tie. Approximately two thousand Michigan City High School followers traveled to South Bend to see this game. Although the team out-played South Bend, it was unable to put over a touchdown. South Bend never threatened our goal line. Michigan City was in a scoring position three times. but each time was unable to score. Riley of South Bend invaded Gill Field on October 25. Coach Gill played his subs as much as possible to save his first team for the Laporte game. The team had an easy time taking Riley into camp. Riley threatened to score, but was turned back by the Red Devil line. The score at the end of the game was 20-0 in favor of the Gillmen. On November I Michigan City traveled to Laporte to engage the old time rivals in the battle of the year. Michigan City decisively defeated the Slicers, 20-0. Laporte was out-played in every department of the game. This was the sixth consecutive win over Laporte for the "Crimson Flash." We won the 50 gg L S O N I A N g M First Row fleft to rightjfslevens.

FOOTBALL lcontinuedt beautiful News trophy. Michigan City had three victories over the Slicers and won the right to keep the cup. More Michigan people were present at this game than Laporte fans, for a Michigan City and Laporte football game is worth seeing, regardless of how badly Michigan City beats the ancient rivals. The following week Mishawaka and Michigan City clashed on Gill Field in what was thought to be the game which would decide the champions of the Eastern Division. The Gillmen scored in the second quarter of the game. Everything looked rosy for Michigan City as the end of the game neared. Mishawaka opened an attack and drove the Red Devils down the field. With two minutes left, Mishawaka scored a touchdown and plunged for the extra point to tie the game. This game was the hardest fought game ever played on Gill Field. Both teams knew that they had been in a battle. Our team, as well as the Mishawaka team, suffered from injuries. A Week later Elkhart came to Michigan City and shattered our hopes for an undefeated squad. The Elkhart team showed more power in this game than in previous games, and the Gillmen were badly crippled from the season's hard schedule. lf it had not been for bad bruises, it is positive that we could have beaten Elkhart. This game ended a very successful season. 51 up THE ELSTOWNIAN gg FOOTBALL lConcIudecD The Michigan City High School alumni and townspeople showed their fine spirit by sending the team to Purdue University on Saturday, November 22, to see the Purdue-lndiana football game played in the Ross-Ade stadium. It was a wonderful trip for the boys, for they were also taken through the various buildings at the university, and some of the players were introduced to members of the Purdue and lndiana squads. The boys appreciated this trip very much as some had never seen a college game before, and it was the last trip that they took together. There will be another large squad out for football next fall. Michigan City should have a good team next year, for many of the boys who will be out had some experience this year and should develop into a very capable squad next fall. Captain Scrivnor, Stevens, Hall, Hathoot, Sawaya, Ford, Redding, Barnett, and Evert finished their high school playing this year. Of the original eleven, only Grimes, lVl. Smith, and Smith, who is captain-elect for l93l, remain. Andy Gill called next year's football candidates out for spring practice, which was held the last week in May. The largest squad that has ever reported answered the call. There were four full teams out for spring practice, a fact which is unusual here. Andy had the assistance of some of the old football players, who helped get the younger and inexperiened fellows into shape. lVlr. Ellis worked with the linemen with the help of Scrivnor and some of the veterans from last year. jack Smith, better known as Smitty, was elected football captain for next year. We feel sure that Smitty will make a very good captain and get along with the fellows in a fine manner. This will be Smitty's fourth year of football. The fellows went through the usual procedure of blocking and tackling. A few good scrimmages were held to give Andy an idea what to expect next year. Not having many veterans left from last year means work for the new fellows, and by the looks of things the boys will work hard to have a winning team. Andy has the same conference schedule as he had this year, and this means a good deal of hard work. Some new and good football players were discovered during spring practice, and if the boys will work as hard as the team did last year, they are sure to succeed. We hope that they do keep up the old Red Devil spirit. SEASONS RECORD . C. 265 Benton Harbor 0. . C. 20: Riley of South Bend 0. C. 19, Morgan Parlc 0. C. 20, Laporte 0.

BASKETBALL Mr. Ellis, our new basketball coach, had a new squad this year with the exception of three players. The inexperience of the team accounts for the unsuccessful season. Mr. Ellis had to build a new team this year, but if the boys play together, we should have a good one next year. Putz is the only player lost to the team by graduation. Michigan City is due to have a winning team soon, and we hope that it will come next year. Michigan City traveled to Kendallville for its first game of the season and was defeated, 30-I l. The next week the Red Devils lost a hard fought game to Valparaiso, 24-l9g then Emerson downed Michigan City, 44-l4. in a one-sided game. The Ellismen also lost a well played game to Nappanee by a I5-I4 score. Michigan City won its first conference game, which was with Elkhart, by a score of i8-l 7. The team showed much improvement. The strong Laporte team outplayed Michigan City to win by a score of 30-5. The Red Devils won an easy game from Chesterton, 20-I4. The next week Goshen bent the Ellismen, 21-I 3. Plymouth fell an easy prey to what seemed to be a new Red Devil team, 33-20. On january I 7 Laporte held a blind tournament which it won easily. South Bend, Michigan City, Westville, and several other teams participated. Roosevelt of East Chicago defeated the Red Devils, 27-22. The following week we lost to South Bend, 30-IZ, but later the game was awarded to Michigan City because South Bend had played an ineligible man. Whiting came to Michigan City and went home victorious, 25-I4. Michi- 53 THE ELSTONIAN BASKETBALL gan City played Laporte at home for the second game between the two teams. Laporte again won, 25-l0. Mishawaka beat the Ellismen, 26-l 7, in a well played game. Following a shake up of the team, which resulted in the loss of three first team players, Mr. Ellis took his team to South Bend. The Riley team defeated the newly arranged team, 28-5. The last game of the season, which was also a conference game with Valparaiso, ended in another defeat for Michigan City, 28-l l. The sectional tournament was again won by Laporte. Michigan City was beat by Union Mills and therefore did not reach the finals. Michigan City and Laporte usually reach the finals and play the game which decides the winner of the tournament. Spring basketball practice was held this year during the last two months of school for all boys who hope to make the team next year. Mr. Ellis had the boys practice pivoting. passing, and basket shooting. Because he coached track, he was able to be with the boys on Tuesdays and Fridays only, but when he was present, he taught the boys the fundamentals of the game. Mr. Ellis feels that the boys of this school do not have basketball talent: therefore he gave them much practice so that they could acquire some knowl- edge of the game. The boys had a few scrimmage games to get into shape and used some of their talent on their team mates. The following boys practiced during the eighth period and after school until five o'clock: Captain Don Korn, Elmer Kramer, Robert Fox, Ray Fox, Paul Smith, Carl janz. Homer Lee, Bob Brink, Howard Brink, Norman Ahlgrim, Clarence Cook, Bill Hollingsead, and John I-lirschmann. SEASON SCHEDULE Kendallville 364 Michigan City ll. Tournament at Laporte won by Laporte.

There were two leagues within the league: the American League and the National League. There were seven teams in the National League, and the schedule consisted of twenty-one games to be played in the National League. The American League was composed of nine teams, and the schedule called for thirty-six games. At the end of the schedule a series of three games was played to decide who was to be the champions of the two leagues. The best teams from each league played in the series. Many boys participated in these games. and some very interesting games were played. The race for the championship looked like a real pennant race as played by the big league. Keith Collins was in charge of the league. He drew up the schedule and ran the league in such a fine manner that he was given the fitting name of Judge Landis. Since there was no baseball team and many talented boys wished to play baseball, Andy gave the boys a chance to enter teams in the Bush League. There were six teams entered in the league: Panthers, East Enders, North Enders, South Siders and West Siders, and Bisons. The boys carried the league out in a fine manner. There were managers to take care of the teams, but there was no buying or selling of players as prac- ticed in the Major League. A schedule was drawn up by Mr. Gill, and the fun began. This plan seemed to be favored by the boys, as a good deal of clean fun was enjoyed by everyone participating. Mr. Gill arranged it so that the boys could practice and get their teams into shape. The teams practiced on Tuesdays and Thursdays and played on Mon- days, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Because of a streak of cold weather which hit our city in April, many games had to be postponed, but nevertheless, there were several teams which showed promise. Those which showed up best on the diamond were the North Side. West Side. and East Side. Batteries for the leading teams were as follows: North Side, Zahrndt and Foxg West Side, O'Connor and Oszustg East Side, Ungurait and Christensen. Several of the pitchers were nearly of equal strength, but the North Side club. which had most of last year's Red Devil players, had the best hitting team. We hope that we can have a baseball team in the future. With so much baseball talent Michigan City could have a very good team. l"lere's hoping that the other schools in our division will organize teams so that we can have a league next year. Vfe know that Andy could produce a winning team with his fine baseball coaching. 55 Tt4E ELSFFOIQIAIQ 6 ff 1 if T' ' . -- ., -, , 1- t w' 'tt' . it it X. 11 First Row-Tulhill, Westphal.

The track squad numbered about forty boys. This fact was the result of Mr. Gills encouraging the boys to come out for athletics. The team started working as soon as the weather was warm enough. Michigan City was represented by a strong half-mile relay team. We also had some other good veteran runners like Jack Smith, Jim Stevens, Merle Smith, and Edward Evert. Michigan City sent twelve boys to the indoor meet at Notre Dame which was organized by Froebel of Gary. Froebel won the meet easily and broke several records. Michigan City's half-mile relay team took third place, and Merle Smith and jack Smith both received medals in the meet. Merle received a silver medal in the high jump, and Jack received a bronze medal in the broad jump. The team entered several meets this year and did well.

ELSTON SENIOR I-IIGI-I SCI-ICOL MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA Edited by STANLEY LASS Under Business Management of KEITH COLLINS Supervised By MISS GOLDIE SHEPHERD Photography By E. C. CALVERT Engraving By INDIANAPOLIS ENGRAVING CO. Printing By THE MICHIGAN CITY NEWS THE ELSTONIYAN GOLF Golf, which was organized as a high school sport for the first time last year, was continued this year. The same boys that were on the team last year were back again this year, and Mr. Parsons again acted as coach. To earn a letter in this sport a player must have won at least half of his matches. The candidates for the team were William Hall, Harlow Redding, Fred Ulrich, jack Smith, Merle Smith, Charles Fay, Edward Chalastawa, and Edward Graham. "Pete" Redding was chosen captain. On April I8 the team lost the first meet, which was played on the Erskine course at South Bend, to Riley of South Bend. Albert Krueger and Bill Hall won their matches for Michigan City: Pete Redding and Ed Chlastawa lost two closely played matches to their opponents. The final score was six to five in favor of Riley. The next Saturday, April 25, the team was more successful, winning from the South Bend Central team on Erskine Park course. Billy Hall dropped the hrst match by a close score. This gave South Bend a two to nothing lead. Pete Redding then won his match, and Ed Chlastawa also turned in a win. The last match was won by Albert Krueger, local golfer, who cinched the meet for the Red Devil team. On May Z, the Red Devil team administered a crushing defeat to the Riley High school team of South Bend by a score of ten to one on the Pot- tawattomie course. Ed Chlastawa lost his second half, but the rest of the Red Devil team turned in winning scores. Matches scheduled for the year were: April I8-Riley of South Bend at South Bend. April 25vCentral of South Bend at South Bend. May 2-Riley of South Bend at Michigan City. May I6-Central of South Bend at Michigan City. May 23fConference at Gary. TENNIS All students, both girls and boys, who were interested in tennis held a meeting in the assembly in April and formed a tennis association. This associa- tion sponsored a boys' and girls' tennis tournament later in the spring. The four best boys as determined by the elimination tournament repre- sented our school in tennis. The boys went to the conference tennis meet and several other meets. The idea of a tennis association was conceived and carried out by Mr. Gill. This is the first year that our high school has had courts of its own. The courts were built last year but were not suitable enough to play on until this year. Michigan City High School has had no tennis team for the last four or five years, because of the little interest shown around school. We should have some good tennis teams in the future, since we have courts of our own. 58 H Eg EFL S T O N I g BOYS' SPONSOR LEAGUES The boys' sponsor league was continued this year by lVlr. Gill. This is the second year that the league has been operating, and Keith Collins was in charge of it. ln the fall a baseball league was formed. There were two divisions, the American league and the National league. The winners of the two leagues played the last game to decide the winner of the league. Mr. lVlaxey's group finally won the league championship. "Wibby" Rogers drew up a basketball schedule for the league teams. This year the idea of a "B" team for smaller boys was formed. There were sixteen teams in each league. Bill Cook and Kenneth Young refereed the games. lVlr. lVlaxey's team won the "A" league and received basketballs for their Hne work. lVlr. Troyer's team won the "B" league. There were some very good games played in both leagues. Carl ,lanz was high point man of both leagues with approximately one hundred and fifty points for the season. At the end of the season, lVlr. Troyer's group sponsored a tournament for the teams. Sixteen teams entered the tourney which was won by Mr. Smith's team. Mr. Schaeffefs team was runner up in the tournament. Trophies were given to the winners and runners up in the tourney. Admission was charged at the last game, and the proceeds went to the lettermen for their annual banquet. ln the spring another baseball league was formed for the boys. Michigan City High School did not have a varsity baseball team this year because the other schools in our division dropped out of the league. The baseball league for the intra-mural teams gave all boys a chance to play baseball. Fifteen of the sixteen boys' sponsor groups entered teams in the leagues. Schaeffefs group was not represented. but Nlaxey had two teams. The sixteen teams which composed the league were: Griffin Pirates Smith Reds Engle Cardinals Long Beavers Sellers lndians Parsons Browns lVlaxey Braves Mack Athletics Troyer Robins lrgang White Sox Aton Tigers Nlaxey Giants Luck Senators lVlcConkey Yankees Lee Cubs Nicholas Red Sox When the baseball season opened, the Pirates, Senators, Cubs. Reds. Tigers. and Red Sox were the teams which looked best. However, the White Sox, Yankees, and Browns were running close to them in May. A sponsor track meet was also held in the spring for all the boys who were not able to compete on the varsity track team. 59 Tl-IE ELSTONIAN TEAMS A C., n MAX E Y BASE BALL 60 Tl-I E E L SSEO A IfI 44 61 3 . M T H E -E L T..Q,Nl!5.'i - GIRLS' SPORTS At the beginning of the year a meeting was held to organize the G. A. A. and to elect officers for the year. Sally Janke was elected president: jane Hultgren, vice-president, Eunice Garwood, secretaryg and Frances Russell, treasurer, On October I7, the G. A. A. had its annual Kids' party, which turned out to be a big success. Each gym class gave a short entertainment. The Badge tests were completed at the beginning of the year. Gver one hundred girls passed the first test: twelve girls passed the second test: and one girl. Dorothy Adamson, passed the third test. After the Badge tests were completed, hockey was started. Many interest- ing games were played. Betty Farroh's team won the high honors in hockey, while Roma Kemena's and lrene Cochran's teams tied for second place. Eunice Garwood's team came in third. After hockey was over, basketball was started. The basketball games were interesting, exciting, and close. Betty l:arroh's team won first honors again. Marjorie Peters' team came in second. Her team was strong and hard to beat. Lucille janke's team, a fast one, came in third, and lrene Heberling's team won fourth place. A basketball tourney was held between classes. The teams were made up according to the number of credits the girls had. The senior-twos' were declared the best team, as they won all of the games. Marguerite Hull was their captain. The volley ball games came next, and the best teams proved to be those led by Isabelle Regas and Emma jean Swan, they both won five games and lost only one. Edith Storey's was in second place, and the third place was captured by Frances Russell's team. The volley ball tournament was won by the senior l's with Marion Ray- mond as captain. The girls on the winning teams that played in the tournament received emblems with the letters M. C. A. across them. These emblems were awarded by the G. A. A. The annual girls' gym show was given on Friday, May 8. A pantomine ballet in three acts, "The Quest of the Fire-Bird," was one of the features of the program. The part of the princess who sent her four suitors in quest of the Fire-Bird was taken by Thelma Krueger, while the four princes were portrayed by Jeanette Wiener, Margaret Schroll, Evelyn jackson, and Dorothy Hefner. The king was Isabelle Regas. ln addition to this ballet the program consisted of two other ballets: "Harvest Festival" and "Fairies at the Cradleug a dumb-bell, an lndian club, a tennis, and a wand drill: and the sports: hockey, basketball, and volley ball. At the gym show Mr. Knapp presented to Margaret Bengston the Gorgas Medal which she won in the essay contest on the general subject of Health. Baseball was the last sport on the girls' calendar. 62 f"-7? bi i 6 'I . , I I I. 5? I ' W , ll ,nr 's 'J xg f 7 Seri QQ QQ.
