We like being upperclassmen and we enjoy the different responsibilities and activities which being upperclassmen give us. At the first meeting we elected our class officers. Robert Bickel, who was President in the Sophomore year, was chosen to continue the same oflice this year. James H. Olson was elected Vice President, Marilyn Wolfe., Treasurer., and Marianne Borg, Secretary. To start the year of social activities we held a private picnic at Wilson's Shelter in Dunes Park. Soft drinks, candy and other refreshments were sold at the home basketball games. This started the money-making projects for the Junior-Senior Prom. We sponsored a rollerskating party on February 17, 1947. A dance was given on March 14, 1947, and a magician show on March 21. Under the guidance of Miss Becker and Mr. Michel we approached the biggest event of the year, the Prom. It was held at the Crystal Ballroom in Hotel Cary and Bill Boeseis orchestra furnished the music. The Junior Class greatly appreciates the work that was done by the committees and their chairmen.

The Freshmen Class of 46-47 has an enrollment of eighty-one pupils, headed by our President, LaVerne Jensen. We elected Virginia Freed as our Vice President and Dean Colley as our Secretary-Treasurer. Uur first semester party was an informal dance with refreshments. Our second activity is undecided at this time, although we are hoping for a skating party in the near future. Instead of being initiated by the Seniors, as was customary in the preceding years, we were invited to take part in a Truth or Consequences show sponsored by the Soph- omores. After this rugged entertainment refreshments were served. Being a Freshman is interesting and enjoyable. We are looking forward to our Sophomore year.

Trojans again proved that they were of championship caliber as they knocked off Kouts, 14-7, in the championship game of Porter County. As a result of being the best in the county, the boys added another trophy to the growing collection at C. H. S. They also kept the Vidette Traveling Trophy. The Trojans had a season record of 8 wins and I loss, the upset coming at the hands of Liberty. With Duane Cierke pitching and Bob Bickel behind the platter the Trojans play- ed a good brand of ball wherever they went, piling up a total of 91 runs as compared to the opposition's 39, for an average of 10.11 to 4.33 per game.

The Trojans played bang- up ball all the Way through, with Gerald Peters, Larry Smith, and Duane Gierke getting that ball in where it counted. Our boys led most of the way with a 7-4 lead in the first quarter and 13-12 at the half. End of third quarter Val- paraiso was ahead 22-21. The last quarter was a thriller with each team going nip and tuck and Ches- terton finally tying at 33-all. With a little over a minute to play, Coach Michel sent in the only substitution of the game, Phil Lindquist, a center. With only two seconds left to play Phil was fouled. The outcome of the game hung in balance-but the tall blonde Lindquist stepped not too calmly up to the tree throw line and let go. The ball swished through the net-and again it was proven that these free throws can win or lose a game. smith got 13 points for Chesterton.

S. men hit their stride and rolled 27 H' over the Morgan five, setting a new C. H. S. record, 67 to 37. Peters, Kissinger and Gierke led the scoring with 32 points among them. Nov. 15-Washington. Duck soup for the mighty Trojan five. The combination of Peters., Kissinger, and Gierke was again good for 30 points. Never being pressed, the Trojans coasted to their third consecutive victory, 50 to 30. Nov. 22-East Gary Edison. The Trojans accomplished what no other Chesterton team had ever done, whipping East Gary on their home hardwood. It was a nip and tuck ball game with the Trojans pulling it out of the fire in the last 2 minutes of play, 32-29. Nov. 27-Wirt. The maroon and gold came through with their fifth in a row as they defeated Witt 49 to 22. Losing at halftime 22 to 20, the boys came back like a house afire to post another game in the win column. Dec. 6-Portage. A mighty Portage five dealt the Trojan quintet their first defeat of the season, 35 to 24. The boys just couldnit seem to hit, sinking 8 out of 51 attempts. Dec. 11-Hobart. The Hobart Brickies raced oil' to a 21 to 7 first quarter lead and try as they might, the Trojans just couldn't overcome that 14 point lead, losing 46 to 40. Dec.13-Jarkson. Another pushover for the men from C. H. S., as they trampled Jackson 67-37. Everybody on the squad was hitting and the result was a mild slaughter. Dec. 20-Kouts. The maroon and gold took their third defeat of the season, 37 to 33. in an overtime game. Gierke played a sweet floor game and also contributed 12 points to the cause. Jan. 4-Portage. The Trojans raced off to a 32-28 halftime lead but Portage came out on top 53 to 50. The game might have been a different story had not Smith, Holley, and Gierke fouled out. It was a terrific ball game from start to finish. Both teams show- ed excellent basketball. Peters collected 20 points. Jan.10-Bishop Noll. This was easily the Trojans worst game of the year. It was just one of those nights when everything went wrong. Noll came out on top 46 to 34. Jan. 17-Hebron. The Trojans dropped their 4th in a row to a Hashy Hebron five, 35 to 32. The boys had another hitless night. -30.- Jan. 23-Kouts-County Tourney. The boys continued their slump as they were shel- lacked 45 to 33. They couldn't stop Sutter who racked up 23 points for Kouts. Gierke, however, played a terrific floor game and scored 9 points. He was awarded a guard position on the County All-Star team due to his efforts in this game. Jan. 31--Boone Grove. The Trojans hit the win column as they rolled over the Boone Grove Grovers 56.to 44. Gierke contributed 21 points besides playing a swell game. Feb. 4-Wheeler. The Bearcats provided practically no opposition for the mighty Trojans. The final score was Chesterton by 26 points, 54 to 28. The Trojans -really had an airtight defense, allowing the Wheeler qunitet a mere 14 points in the first 3 quarters of play. Gierke and Smith rang up 27 points between them. Feb. 7-Alumni. The Trojans dealt a highly favored Alumni five a stinging 42 to 40 defeat. The Alumni used a total of 15 men, but still didn't succeed in stopping a vicious Trojan attack. The game was marked by Peters' and Gierkeis brilliant floor game. Feb. 14-St. Maryis. The maroon and gold again hit the win column for their fourth in a row as they edged out the Blue Blazers 38 to 35. Feb.21-Crifith. The last scheduled game of the season turned out to be a heart- breaker for the Trojans as they were edged out 51 to 50 in a super thriller, the game being decided in the last 20 seconds. The combination of Peters, Smith and Ray netted the vanquished 32 points. Feb. 26-Washington-Sectional. The Trojans breezed to an easy 34 to 23 victory in the first round of the sectional. The first half was a very slow one with the score being 13 to 6. The boys found the range a little better in the second half to score 21 points. Feb. 27-Boone Grove-Sectional. The C. H. S. men practically repeated the earlier Boone Grove game, romping all over the Grovers. It was a snap from start to finish with the final score being 42 to 23. Mar. 1-Valparaiso. The Trojans finally did what no other county team had ever done in sectional play - beat Valpo. Phil Lindquist walked up to the free throw line with 7 seconds to play and the score knotted up. The tall, blond boy from C. H. S. swished it in, to win the ball game for C. H. S., 34 to 33. Mar. 1-Emerson-Sectional Finals. Too much height, weight, and width gave our boys a 59 to 29 beating. The boys were tired from the afternoon and just couldn't keep up the pace. The mighty Trojans did all right for themselves, winning 13, losing 9. Three of those losses were close enough to have gone our way had we had the breaks. Beating Valpo was another accomplishment long awaited by C. H. S. About all I can say now is, Good luck in '47-'48. -31- 6 '7 6luA Row 1: Ronny Smalley, Duane Gierke, Bob Bickel, Danny Wilson, John Vedell, Phil Lindquist, Bill Jennings, James Brocksmith, Walter Holley.

Our organization attended play-days at Yvheeler and Liberty, and invited Portage to a play-day at our school. Cay-Time, a very successful money-making carnival, was held in December. This year the girls enjoyed a new sport, bowling. Mr. Cunder gave us special rates, and pin-setting was done by G.A.A. members who won points in this manner.

As members of the Y-Teens we attempt to grow in spirit, mind, and body. These make up the three sides of our triangle within a circle of tl1e world, which is the emblem of all Girl Reserve Clubs in the United States and other parts of the world. Our regular meetings are held twice a month. Usually they consist of business meeting, a worship service, a program, and are concluded with refreshments. The new members were welcomed in with a candlelight recognition ceremonial. The Y-Teens cooperate with the community in that they help with various drives in school. This year we put on a very successful drive for the March of Dimes. One of the service projects which we all enjoyed doing was serving refreshments to our team and the visiting team after every home L ' 'LJ' 'W' ' We had our annual Dad 'n Daughter this year on March 10. This is always enjoyed by both dads and daughters also sponsored a dance, April 12 and some of the girls went to the spring on March 29. Our programs were very much year and were very interesting.

This work gives real opportunity for service to the paper and school. Staff members learn how to cut stencils, do art work, use the mimeoscope and mimeograph. At the same time being on the Scoop staff gives an oppor- tunity for a good social time. Each year is climaxed by appropriate awards to the staff members and a Whig party is held in Wilson's Shelter at State Park. This ends another most enjoyable and successful year on the Scoop. The Scoop is a self-supporting paper and is a member of the Quill and Scroll, International Honor Society for high schools and the National Exchange. Editor-in-Chief -- ....

The Student Council is the oldest organization in the history of Chesterton High School. It was founded in 1921, and is still functioning under the constitution drawn up at that time. The Student Council is composed of ten members of the student body. The presi- dent, who must be a senior, and the vice president, a junior, are elected by the stu- dent body. Each selects a representative, and the class presidents automatically become members. Mrs. Koch is the faculty sponsor. The Council works in every way it can to make a better school. lt conducts regu- lar locker and building inspections to maint ain a clean school. A system of hall monitors functions under the direction of the Council. Their duties are to maintain quiet and orderly halls while school is in session. This year the Student Council has devoted itself particularly to the problems of noontime recreation and the publication of a student handbook. The president this year was John Wood and the vice president was Arnold Studtman. ,43- +10 Md Ulwawt Kon- I: Sue Sigler. Marian Jensen. Mary Ray, Betty France.

Now after ten long years, we find Lucille Anderson still pounding the pavements of Valpo, Chesterton, Gary and all points west. She is the originator of the well-known club called 'The Lurchers and Lungers, Inc. So far many girls have joined her club. Andy says that so far this month the project the club is working on is getting a date for the Prom. No one knows whatever became of Jimmy Atkinson. He came quietly to our school in the Senior year, remained just as silent throughout that year, and then slip- ped peacefully away- The last one to see him was his soulsfriend, Digger O,Dell. Digger always said that he would be the last one to let Jimmy down - and he was - we heard that Jimmy took a powder fParis Green to be exact.j Nelson Babcock, who beat Joe Louis in Chesterton Square Gardens at Railroad Park, is now heavyweight champion of the world. Ever since Lorraine Nadratowski took over her brother's job as coach, Nelson has learned some new plays. Lorraine always forgets just when to throw the towel ing she usually does, not in between, but during rounds - the opponent trips on it - As we say, Nelson has been winning lately. Janet Bates, the girl most likely to succeed, has failed in her one great ambition. Floyd is trying to console her after all her dreams have been crushed. She applied for entrance at Logansport but 'was rejected on the grounds that she would be a bad in- fluence on the other inmates. She has a job now at the poor farm feeding chickens and carrying in the eggs. She also shines Leonard's shoes - he wears them now! Carol Bedenkop, our little home miss, is now married. She and her hubby have been married for five years and have six children fthree sets of twins, that isj. Their names are Dancer and Prancer, Nixen and Vixen, and Tom and Gerry. Barbara Betts and Vern have been engaged for about ten years. He's very faith- ful i he comes to see her twice a month. She spends her time taking care of her brother, 5'Kraut. If you don't think thatis a job, just try it once- Pauline Bilhorn, famous soap-box orator of Chesterton and Valpo, has been lec- turing from Railroad Park for the last few years on the subject of Girls, Get Your Man! Her latest point of interest is: If you can,t possibly get a man, do something drastic - go around with girlsf' Mary Eileen Bishop is now head Superior at St. Patrick's school in Chesterton. She entered the Nunnery right after graduation. Sister Mary Eileen remembers the day she was crowned llVlay Queen! at good old St. Pat's. Irene Bittner is now writing poems for a company that makes greeting cards for convalescent pets: elephants, buHaloes, lions, and lice. uFor some strange reason, she says, business isn't booming like it should be. Sarah Canright is still waiting for her Johnnie to finish his course at Purdue. Yes, Johnnie has been a boiler-maker now for quite some time. Up to date he has taken eight post-graduate courses - and he still doesn't know how to make a boiler. Sarah says that her dad has a job for Johnnie as Louie Menke's assistant on the Tribune. Phyllis Cernek and Helen Vlfahl are new managers of that ultra-modern airplane stop on U. S. 20 called Stinkies.', The girls close each night at 9:31 on the dot - so if you want your milk and muffins, be sure to fly in early . . . Maye Colley says that she and her Bill have an understanding -4 he goes with Maye, and she goes with whoever she wants. Her attitude is Do unto others before they do unto you. Jane Colley has so far married four times. First, she married a millionaire, sec- ond, an actor, third, a minister, and fourth, an undertaker. When asked, How come?', Janie replied, One for the money, two for the show, three to make ready, and four to go. Some men are born with consciences, but Ralph Colley married one. Yes, Larry spent the years between twelve and twenty-one waiting to become his own boss - and then he got married. Says Ralph, This is the result of careless talk. Jackie Dabbert, after teaching for ten years, has become a famous Congress- woman. At present, she is trying to pass a bill necessary for the survival of the human race . . . providing for the complete abolishment of singing commercials. It seems that Bill Meltz isn,t getting around much nowadays. Mary has shortened the chain again. Mary Deiotte and Bill -have been engaged off and on now for the last nine years. Mary says that she hates to rush into things. Emily and Ronnie DeKoker have finally gotten their dream castle. It's a very, very beautiful home - filled with antiques - that is, except for Ronnie. We are not saying who's boss, but Ronnie says it's awfully cold in the basement. Eleanor Dockim and her fiance, Bob -- also Mother - are still quibbling over what kind of wedding Eleanor should have. Eleanor wants to wear Shocking pink fingernail polish and her Mother insists on wolf-gal.', Bob Dunbar is head of the Postwar .Peace Board. It's his job to plan a lasting peace. He believes he knows the answer on how to prevent World War III: It is, Love thy neighbor as thyself, and be prepared to knock heck out of him if he starts anything. Doris Eason has spent the years after graduation tramping overland, through ice and snow, rain and sleet, fog and sunshine, to the Aron Theater, asking, always asking, Have any guys from Jackson gone to the show yet? Barbara Ellis has, in her own unobscure way, become a scientist. After years of careful and patient research, she has found a way to bury people without digging a grave. We're all dying to find out what her method is. Laurel Fuller has finally torn herself away from her happy home-life to settle down in married life with good old Keith fand we do mean oldl.

Glau Well, dear Seniors, the curtain is swiftly closing on our four happy and hectic years of high school life. Those days are gone forever, but they will never be forgotten! Remember September 6, 1943, when we, as wide-eyed, confused Freshies swarmed down the halls of good old C. H. Sf? There were one hundred-three of us then, forty- four masculine and fifty-nine feminine. We greeted our new teachers and busily set about electing our class officers. We elected Duane Gierke as president, Weldon McCorkel as vice president, and Gerry Mullen as secretary-treasurer. Lorraine Peterson was our Student Council representa- tive. Our sponsors were Miss Becker and Mr. Deirdorf. We were duly initiated by the Seniors and needless to say, we enjoyed the Initia- tion as much, if not more than the Seniors. We held a square dance and had our lunch in the form of a box social. Of course there were fifteen girls who were lucky enough to get to eat their lunch by themselves, but we who had to share our lunch didn't complain! The last party that year was a Spring Dance held in the gym. Oh yes, and what girl could forget the Sadie Hawkins' Day party held at the Porter Community Hall? Then school was out and a too short vacation ensued. -61- S'GlaMJfu1o1uf Before we knew it we were back in school as Sophomores with Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Koch, and Miss Wilson as our sponsors. We elected Bob Brueckheimer as presi- dent, Elner Strand as vice president., Norrita Weidman as secretary-treasurer, and Ber- tha Rhed as Student Council representative. That year the Digger's Club ffor minors onlyi was formed and we spent one night a week doing nothing but having a good time. We had a Sock Party and we spent much of the evening cleaning up. We had a semi-formal dance in the library later on during the year. Then, to wind up the year at the same pace we started it, we had a skating party at the Atlas Rink. The five-point landings executed by numer- ous members of the class were enjoyed by all. Then school was out! Many students slgorlied during the summer, but then we had those who made every day their Lazy ay. We came back our Junior year all set to make things fly around C. H. S. -- and did we ever, but literally! Lucille Anderson was elected president, Sarah Canright, secretary, and Helen Wahl, treasurer. Our sponsors were Mr. Michel and Miss Kuhn. With our eye set on the super Prom we were going to give, we made plans for raising funds to finance The occasion of the year. We sold refreshments at all the home games and sponsored some after-game dances. In order to make more money we held a skating party at the Atlas Rink on February 12. Then came the big night, the night of the Prom. It was held in the Crystal Ballroom, Hotel Gary on May 10th with Spanky Meyer's orchestra furnishing the music. It 'was an evening never to be forgotten by any of the couples there. The last day of school, 'we had a sort of beach party with the main event of the evening being the burning of the English workbooks around the campfire. During the summer, we had round after round of parties. Oh, how we wished it would last forever, but the inevitable finally happened and . . . Then we came back through the portals of C. H. S. as mighty seniors with high hopes of becoming the graduating class of 1947. We looked over the Freshie class and decided that we would dispense with the initiation and that we would hold a dance to welcome back all students and teachers, both old and new. We have decided that this should be a custom of the high school so we held the Fall Fiesta in the gym on October 4th with Tommy Dolan's orchestra playing- In our last year we took two trips - one to the Sheet and Tin Mill at Gary and the other to Indianapolis to visit the State Legislature. Oh yes, and we must not forget the memorable Junior-Senior girl's basketball game. 'ln case there is someone who doesn't kno'w, the mighty Seniors mopped up the Juniors to the tune of 34 to 14. The Annual Staff sponsored a skating party which was a huge success. Then, of course, we must remember our class play, a comedy entitled Sing For Your Suppern which was directed by Miss Sayers. Our motto is, He Conquers Who Enduresf' The colors are grey and Kelly green and the flower is the American Beauty rose. When we counted up the graduate- elect this year we found to our surprise we had seventy-five wl1o had not lost hope, and 'we are both happy and proud to say that, this is the largest class ever to leave this school. -62..
