“
. . FOREWORD In the following pages the members of the Elstonian Staff have tried to present an accurate and comprehensive review of high school life. This has been done with the underlying theme of masks in a pageant, and each of the four main divisions of the book has been introduced with masks appropriate to the subject. After the opening twelve pages, we see serious seniors attired in caps and gowns—the goal of every high school student. Then come the masks representing jaunty juniors, sophisticated sophomores, and frisky freshmen. Activities, which so often create the comedy and tragedy of school life, are introduced with appropriate masks, and next we come to athletics, personified by a boy with a football helmet and a girl cheerleader. A fifth section of the book, which should prove of special interest to all students, is the Snapshot Review of the School Year. We have tried to present as many different people as possible in order that all classes and interests be fairly represented. Last of all we find Senior Slants mixed with the names of patrons and advertisers. The Elstoilian staff believes firmly in the Chinese proverb that "one picture is worth ten thousand words." For this reason some of the space ordinarily reserved for printed copy has been used for pictures. We feel confident, however, that this policy will have the approval of all our readers. j) now we see • • • • ww
THE ISAAC C. ELSTON HIGH SCHOOL Michigan City, IndianaAdministration
Superintendent of Schools
A person not closely associated with high school students yet interested in their activities is Mr. M. C. Murray, superintendent of schools.
Mr. Murray is greatly respected for his progressive leadership, and has done much to make the Michigan City school system one of the best in the state.
Principal of the High School
To Mr. M. L. Knapp, principal of the Senior High School, we extend our wishes for continued success and happiness.
We have all enjoyed our daily association with him during our four years in high school and wish to express our appreciation for the friendly and helpful spirit which he has constantly shown.
Mr. Knapp is assisted by Miss Jeanette Erickson, a very capable secretary.School Board
The school board is composed of three Michigan City residents: Mr. E. H. Utley, Mrs. Ruth Rydzy, and Mr. Henry Miller.
Although as students we seldom come in contact with the board, we wish to thank its members for their fine work in keeping our high school running smoothly and efficiently.
School Board Clerks
Two other people responsible for the smooth running of the school are Mrs. Martha Haller and Mrs. Alma Schilf. These women work twelve months of the year in the school board office and are responsible for such detail jobs as the ordering of supplies, taking care of repairs, and doing the financial bookkeeping of the school city.

Seniors......."The Class of 38". It seems like years since we were
freshmen, so little and scared. Remember how everyone laughed when we walked across the platform in the assembly? That was the year everyone was so excited when our basketball team went "downstate ”.
The next year we were a little more at home and our grades were better (thank goodness). Remember the party we gave for the freshmen with "Fuzzy" Stevenson and Bob Gilmore welcoming the newly-arrived "immigrants" ?
We ll never forget our junior year—Eastern Division Champions—football was "the thing". Remember Jim Carlisle twirling his torch at the La Porte game—and the way we beat the Slicers?
Arthur Greenburgh is still trying to explain some of the things that happened in the Junior Play. Although our basketball season “wasn’t so hot", it was thrilling just to go and sit in the new Auditorium after suffering in the "Barn" all those years.
We really gave a Prom that year, and in a beautiful Hawaiian setting of colorful leis and flowers we spent an unforgettable night.
But now we’re Seniors. Being president of the Senior Class seems to run in the Gropp family—Evelyn last year and Don now. After the election of class officers we began the busiest of our four years in high school. The Elstonian staff was chosen in the fall, and during the winter months we put on record-breaking advertising and sales campaigns.
In March the Senior Play cast and Class Day committees were chosen, and from then on the bustle of commencement activities began in earnest.
But now our high school days are practically over, and soon everyon will be traveling a different road with only the memory of "Th
1938".bemor

Twenty-one graduating seniors selected by the class officers and sponsors did the work on the 1938 Elstonian. These seniors were chosen from a list of names turned in last fall by students who expressed their willingness to work on Senior Class activities.
The complete Elstonian staff is as follows: Betty Johnson, editor-in-
chief: James Jones, business manager; Margaret Wellnitz, faculty editor; Jean Reed, senior editor; June Bracken, underclassmen; Geraldine Freyer, literary editor; Eleanor Fry, girls’ clubs; Miller Cassidy, boys' clubs; Vivian Ross, art editor; Lorraine Sudrow, assistant art editor; Dorothy Chinske, mounting editor; Joseph Troy, chairman, Neil Ritchey, Dorothy Jean Mathias, snapshot committee; Ralph Long, sales manager; Wayne Dunlop, boys' sports; Carolyn Swart, girls' sports; William Farber, circulation manager; Sophia Moscan, Margaret Moscan, Martha Robinson, typists.
Features introduced this year for the first time are padded covers, an enlarged snapshot section, and the photography contest. We hope that they will all prove popular with the students and will add to the enjoyment of this book.
The Elstonian staff worked in committees under the supervision of Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Long, Mr. Schaeffer, Mr. Smith, and Miss Schwabenland, who was faculty chairman.

Senior Hi-Y
Intermediate Hi-Y
The Senior Hi-Y started its year’s work by sending representatives to the annual training course at Camp Tecumseh on the Tippecanoe River.
As a way of making money and of promoting school spirit, football victory badges were sold for the La Porte-Mich-igan City game. During the basketball season the Hi-Y had charge of the checkroom and sold candy at the Golden Gloves boxing tournament.
With this money and with money donated by local clubs, four members were sent on November 26-27 to the 18th annual Older Boys’ Conference at Peru, Indiana. Later in the year a "Best Girl Party" was held, and on March 20 the inauguration of the following new officers took place: James Trask, president; Earl
Miller, vice-president; Edwin Cassidy, secretary; Jack Dwyer, sergeant at arms.
Every Wednesday night the twenty-six members of the Intermediate Hi-Y meet under the direction of their president, Harry Nelson, and their sponsors, Mr. Neff and Mr. McComb.
Although the members of the club are younger than those in the Senior Hi-Y, the purpose of both organizations is to build high standards of Christian character.
In the spring of the that the Senior and the intermediate Hi-Y were to unite as chapters, so that in the be closer co-operation organizations.

On the last day of January, thirty-four outstanding upper-classmen were initiated into the Isaac C. Elston Chapter of the National Honor Society.
These students were chosen by a committee of seven faculty members under the chairmanship of Mrs. Bernice Mann. The basis of the selection was scholastic ability, leadership, character, and service.
The ceremony, which came as a complete surprise to everyone, was conducted entirely by students. Ralph Long was in charge of the program and was assisted by Evelyn Gropp, Newton Meer, James Jones, and John Krueger.
Under the leadership of Donald Gropp, president; Janice Carstens, vice-president; and William Farber, secretary-treasurer; the society has co-operated in such special projects as taking charge of the detention room when there is a faculty meeting.

Discussion League
The Forum Club is a new organization open to any junior or senior. The club meets under the direction of Mr. Parsons and discusses present day problems and the uses of parliamentary law.
At the meetings heated arguments take place over the proper method of making motions, suspending rules, and the right to move the chair. Topics to be discussed are announced ahead of time so that the members of the club may make some preparation for the discussion.
Every year a state-wide oratorical contest is held for the students of the Indiana high schools.
Out of the twelve students who originally entered this contest. John Applegate, Albert Hilberg, and Arthur Greenburgh competed on March 1 6 to decide the winners of the Isaac C. Elston Awards. Albert Hilberg, who was given first-place, represented the school at the district contest at Rensselaer.

The Student Council, the governing body of the Senior High School, is composed of representatives elected from the different sponsor groups in the high school. This group of students makes the regulations which are enforced by the hall patrol and the student monitors.
The council, under the direction of Miss Mabel Engstrom, meets every two weeks during the fifth period to discuss student problems and see that the work of the committees is being done.
These committees perform many duties about the school. The service committee takes care of the posters around the building; the executive committee appoints the monitors for the study hall and library; the judicial committee tries cases of students who think that the monitors have dealt unfairly with them; and the social committee give permits to hold minglers and all other parties.
Our high school has won a reputation throughout all northern Indiana for its efficient student government and has often been visited by representatives from other schools who wish to study our system.

Thespians
Blackfriars
To become a Thespian, one must play a major role in a three-act play and have his work approved by the director. Since the number of leads in any play is limited, it is considered an outstanding honor to be elected to membership in this organization. During the current year the Thespians have presented a number of one-act plays before the various P.-T.A. groups of the city, and have also sponsored the Blackfriars.
The four new members of the organization. who were entitled to join as a result of their fine characterizations in the Junior Play, are Elaine Heise, Dorothy Davis. William Meakins, and Roger Johnson.
The Blackfriars Club is composed of students who have presented a reading, dialogue, or playlet before the dramatic group. If the tryouts prove successful, the students are accepted as members.
Each year the Blackfriars present a play before the school. This yearyrfi eerie comedy entitled "The White P|fentom brought thrills of horro4 to itsfcandience. Joe Schwager, as thev wanted "to get to the botj and Lois Jane Vaughn, part of Eleven, the frign maid, were both unusual roles.

Swing Band
An organization which is still quite new but has already won acclaim for its outstanding work is the Swing Band, composed of twenty-six members of the band and orchestra.
During the past school year the Swing Band has played for the Rotary Club and for various P.-T.A. groups of the city. It also had a prominent part in the annual band concert, where its rendition of "Tiger Rag" practically brought down the house.
The Elstonian wishes to commend this organization for its fine work and hopes that it will become a permanent organization of the Michigan City High School.
—Band
On many snappy Saturday afternoons in the fall of the year, Franklin Street shoppers are given the unique pleasure of watching the Michigan City high school band come marching by. At such times the band is led by our baton-twirling drum major, James Carlisle, his mascot nephew, Eugene Roper, and "the two Janes" dressed in their satin uniforms as color bearers.
Besides performing its regular task of playing at all football and basketball games, the band gave its tenth anniversary concert on February 18. On this occasion two guest conductors, Mr. Neil Kjos of Chicago, and Mr. Joseph Oszuscik of Michigan City, were asked to participate in the very enjoyable program.
Orchestra
Michigan City may indeed be proud of the unusual record made by our high school orchestra under the leadership of Palmer Myran, director, and Jane Baker, associate director. Never in its history has this organization taken lower than third place in a state contest and in the last three years it has consistently been awarded the state championship
The most important event of the year was the annual cone on April 1 before a large audience, which was astonished at the displayed by so young a group of musicians. A new musical instru! purchased in the spring, is the very popular vibra-harp, which inspi band member to write the following poem:
Our vibra-harp is new and fine—
All style and bell-like sound.
Its keys are cold, hard steel and flat,
But its tones are full and round.
Junior Play
Growing Pains, a rollicking comedy given by the juniors last fall, proved a huge success. To the cast and its coach. Miss Goldie Shepherd, we owe orchids for their very admirable piece of work.
The leads were taken by Roger Johnson and Elaine Heise. Other principal parts were played by William Meakins, Nancy Coggan, Dorothy Davis, and Jack Dwyer.
The action shots on this page show:
1. A tense moment when George McIntyre, played by Roger Johnson, attempts to swing at the traffic officer, Kenneth Schlundt.
2. Arthur Fabian putting the final touches on William Meakins make-up backstage.

Page Fifty-twoOperetta
An unusually colorful operetta, entitled The Belle of Bagdad, was presented on March 18 by the Senior Glee Club. We wish to commend Mr. Ten Harkel and Miss Davidson for their fine coaching of the singing and dramatic parts of the performance.
Pictured above are two exciting moments of the second act: The first shows
the assassin, John Vail, as he is hurled before William Johnson, Bagdad’s mighty caliph: in the second scene Archie, played by Wilbur Scrivnor, makes a humble plea for freedom, although a fierce-looking prefect-of-police. Kenneth Young, seems to doubt his word.
Senior Play
Spring Dance, a sophisticated sparkling comedy, which had a long successful run on Broadway, was given by the seniors and coached by Miss Gardner. The brisk repartee, the comedy of college romance, and the inside glimpses of campus life at a girls school all aided in giving the audience something really different in the way of entertainment.
In the above pictures we see the members of the cast busily studying their lines. Wayne Dunlop and Gerry Freyer had the leading roles and were supported by William Hall, Arthur Greenburgh, Robert Lindenmeyer, Neil Richey, Betty Peat, Eleanor Fry. Frances Spinks, Louis Kun-kel, Shirley Ploner, Eleanor Harris, and Dorothy Jean Mathias.

Latin Club
“Walk, please’ — “Keep moving” — “Keep two abreast”—such are the requests or commands to students who disobey the rules of the halls. The patrol keeps order in the corridors of our school before classes begin in the morning and at noon. This group of students is headed by Alfred Dembinski, Casimir Boyan, Miller Cassidy, and Richard Freese, who are given instructions by Mr. George Irgang, the faculty adviser.
The Latin Club is one of the oldest and largest organizations in the high school. It is under the sponsorship of Mrs. Jane Russell. Club officers are: Sophia Mos-
can, president; Eileen Hennessy, vice-president; Marjorie Farber. secretary; and Charles Vincent, treasurer. Any student who has had one semester of Latin is eligible for membership.
The featured event of the year was a banquet held on April 26 in honor of the club’s graduating seniors.

Athletics
Football Coach
All of Michigan City’s achievements in football are due to a trim, athletic-looking man, equipped with a clever tongue and a keen mind.
We are referring to Andy Gill. ‘‘Andy" has been football coach at Michigan City for seventeen years and has given us many fine teams, including the one which received the 1936 Conference Championship.
Basketball Coach
Mr. Ellis has been basketball coach at Michigan City for seven years, and during this time he has produced some of the greatest basketball players in Indiana. He is a friend to all the boys and is always willing to give help and instruction to anyone who wants to learn.
Track Coach
There is a man on the coaching staff who deserves a great deal of recognition for his fine work in athletic circles at Michigan City.
That man is Mr. Miller, our head track coach. He also assists Mr. Gill in football, coaches the Junior High School basketball team, and has laid the foundation in athletics for many a Red Devil star. Let’s give him a hand!

Football
When “Andy” issued the first call for football, fifty likely-looking gridiron warriors responded with a will. Although many players were lost from the famous team of 36, it looked like another great year for the Imps, with such men as Capt. Newt Meer, “Fuzzy” Stevenson, Art Santow, Atwood Hall, Hugh Fisher, Everett Eikelberg, and a score of other promising students returning.
The first game on the schedule, Mt. Carmel, was cancelled due to an epidemic in Chicago. On Sept. 23, the Imps played host to a fast Culver team. Although the Imps completely out-played the Cadets, two bad breaks for the Red Devils told the tale, and the Cadets ended on top of a I 3-6 score. Capt. Newt Meer and “Slingin’ Sam” Bohlim were the outstanding players for the Red Devils.

With great hopes and the school spirit at a high pitch, the fighting Red Devils entertained the mighty Central Bears on Oct. 16. Although they played heads-up ball and fought with every ounce of strength, the bigger and more experienced South Bend team emerged as victor. 20-0.
The next week the Red Devils traveled to Riley. South Bend, and again met defeat, 1 3-0.
On Nov. 5, the Red Devils entered the Mishawaka camp as underdogs. But by sheer hard fighting, together with the great passing of Sam Bohlim and the defensive work of Art Santow, the Red Devils managed to hand the Maroons a 7-0 beating.

The following week Michigan City traveled to Elkhart to play a great Blue Blazer team, seeking revenge from last year’s disappointment, when Michigan City won the toss and the right to play Horace Mann for the N. 1. H. S. Championship. The Imps folded up completely and lost 33-0.
The LaPorte Sheers appeared on Nov. 20 for the last game of the season. The game was played in a blizzard under the severest handicaps possible. Although the Imps fought their hardest, two bad breaks and the blinding snow spelled defeat, and the Slicers came through with a 1 3-2 win.
The Red Devils had a poor season, winning only three and losing five games; but they always fought to the best of their ability in every game —an attitude typical of any Red Devil team.

The Ked Devils clashed with North Judson in their opening game of the season. They lost a hard-fought battle 29-24. The Imps were handicapped, however, since the ex-football players had had only one night’s practice.
Eager for a victory the gallant Ellismen turned back a strong Delphi quint 19-12. This success seemed to give the impetus which was needed to win a victory from a smooth-playing Elgin. Illinois team, coached by Mike Faroh. one of Michigan City’s greatest athletes. The game ended with the Devils on top 31-27.
With hope spurring them on, the Imps completely outclassed a smaller Rensselaer five 28-23.
On the following evening, the warriors of Michigan City played host to the great LaPorte Slicers and lost 29-23 before a shrieking crowd of 2,500. The Red Devils played hard all the way and staged a terrific rally in the last five minutes, which netted them 19 points, but all hopes of a victory were upset by the sounding of the gun, which spelled defeat for the boys of Michigan City.

Two other defeats which followed were the disastrous Goshen game on New Year's Day and the more evenly scored battle with the mighty Elkhart Blue Blazers. Smarting from these defeats, the Red Devils then edged out a strong Brazil quintet 2 7-25.
The Icemen lost their third conference game to the Nappanee Bulldogs 24-23. Although the Bulldogs won, the Red Devils were leading all the way until the final five seconds, when a Nappanee substitute swished a long fluke shot to make the Shulermen victorious.
The fighting Red Devils traveled to Elwood, where they lost another heart breaker 38-31. The game was a rough one, and the Red Devils were literally knocked into the bleachers. The Imps played Central in their fourth conference game and were completely outclassed by the flashy Bears of South Bend.
The Red Devils, thirsting for victory, met Washington of South Bend on the Auditorium floor and defeated them in a thrilling double overtime game 40-39. This was the Imps' first conference victory.
Then followed three defeats in quick succession. The LaPorte game, which ended in a 37-17 victory for Michigan City’s bitter rivals, and the two trimmings received from the Mishawaka Maroons and the Riley Wild Cats.
After these came one of the most exciting games of the year—the first battle with St. Mary's Blue Blazers for the mythical city basketball championship. The Red Devils turned this event into a field day and defeated the St. Mary's team 39-22. The plans which are on foot to make this battle an annual event promise to create even more rivalry than the game with the Slicers of LaPorte.
The St. Mary’s game furnished the needed spark. The Red Devils handed the hopeless Winamac Indians a 29-22 licking, and on the following night upset the powerful Alexandria team 27-20. This was the most brilliant game of the Red Devil's season. However, the gallant Ellismen lost the season final to the Valparaiso Vikings in a slam-bang battle of 39-30.
The Imps traveled to LaPorte for the sectional tournament on Friday morning, March 4, where they defeated LaCrosse 20-16 in a slow game. With Bill Steinheiser, Wayne Dunlop, and Newt Meer ill, the Red Devils lost a hard fought, thrilling battle to an inspired Union Township five.
The Red Devils won eight and lost eleven of their regular season games. But as Coach "Lefty" Veller of LaPorte said after the tournament, “Wh can any one get the idea that those Red Devils don’t fight? Th y play the best that they have in them." The seven lettermen graduating this are: Sammy Bohlim, Wayne Dunlop, Newt Meer, Dick StevV«Soj

An organization named the "Bone-breakers Club" was formed in the early fall by those boys interested in the art of wrestling. This club remained active throughout the year.
The most outstanding "Bonebreakers" were: Ney, Carlson. Olds. Brooker. Coon-rod, Engstrom, Santow. Batzel, Kohn, Beahan, and Timm. The boys were under the guidance of Coach Andy Gill.
Sponsor Basketball
The annual Sponsor Basketball Tournament of the 1938 season was one of the most outstanding held in many years. There were 16 teams which entered the tournament. The winner of the "Big 8", Neff s sponsor group played the winner of the "Little 8", McConkey's sponsor group, for the play-off. Neff emerged the victor by a 33-18 score. Each member of the winning team was awarded a silver basketball.
Golf
One of the most popular of all minor sports was golf, which was coached by "Daddy" Parsons. Although Sammy Bohlim was the only man to return from last year’s fine team, three other steady players were Carl Peo, Ted Senderak, and Jack Dwyer. Just as in previous years the local team was again expected to set an enviable record. Matches were played with Valparaiso, LaPorte, Riley and Central high schools of South Bend.
Track
The coming of spring always brings track to Michigan City. This year Coach Delbert Miller was blessed with a fine bunch of boys with plenty of ability. As a result the Michigan City cindermen’s prospects were expected to be the best in the history of the school. The Red Devil spikesters’ first important contest was the Quadrangular Meet, held at LaPorte, April 30. Outstanding records were made by Bill Lueth in the high jump and by "Fuzzy” Stevenson, state champion in the shot put.Minor

Tennis
For two years Coach Jim Griffin had tried to organize a tennis team. This year through his effort and the co-operation of the players a fine team was organized. In their first year of real competition the Crimson and White racket men performed magnificently and made a name for themselves. They finished their regular season ranking second in the eastern conference.
There was one lad on the team who really went places. Ed Ciolek, No. 1 man, won the conference championship, went through the regular season undefeated, and was classed as one of the best high school tennis stars in Indiana. This boy was by far the "class of the conference", but the success of the team as a whole lay in the fine playing of Henry Hirsch, No. 2 man. Jack Dwyer, No. 3, Bob Lichtenberg, No. 4, and Irving Kessler, Louis Kunkel, and Ralph Hirsch, who tied for the fifth position. Since Ciolek, H. Hirsch, and Kunkel are the only players who graduate, there are again high hopes for another fine season next fall.June Bracken, Mary Hult-gren, and Winifred Richter watch Junette Fyhr perform on the parallel bars.

The girls opened their athletic season in September with the election of officers for the G. A.
A. Ethel Grant was chosen president; Margaret Moscan, vice-president; Helen Blande, secretary; and May Eikelberg, treasurer.
The first thing on the program was the choosing of the teams for soccer. Betsey Dingler's team came out in front by winning every game in which it participated.
Since the weather would not permit the girls to continue their out-door sports with the playing of hockey, they turned to a new game called deck tennis. This sport seemed to be very well liked.
Through stiff competition Mary Lois Scott led her team to victory.
Then came the annual Kids’ Party, which, as usual, was a huge success. The theme was the wedding of Jim Nasium to Atha Letic.
Following this, basketball came into the limelight with Jane Gilmore's team capturing first honors.
When the new semester began, the girls turned their attention to volleyball. In this sport the chargers of Helen Bacon's team proved their worth when they won all ten games.
Baseball, which always attracts a large number of girls, was the chief interest later on in the semester, and the season finally ended with two weeks of track.
