DINSMOORE Wesfchesper Township Tfusfee Superintendent of Porte! County Schools Page 6 Footprints in the Sands of Time Page 7 We 57741101646 Cgfwfy-fflfkzms Four years ago last September, eighty-nine freshmen came to C. H. S. to set out on the trail of knowledge. This was the Class of '49. Our guides, Miss Becker, Mrs. Iohnson and Mr. Barker, charted the course we were to follow, and under the able leadership of Gerald Peterson as president, Bob Skinner as vice-president, Phyllis Canright as secre- tary-treasurer, and Charlyce Granat as Stu- dent Council representative, we found the trail smooth and pleasant, except around exam time, when some of us hit a few bumps. At our very first class meeting we selected blue and white for our colors, the white rose as our flower, and the motto, We lead: others follow. We pledged ourselves to carry these emblems triumphantly to the end of our four year journey, and this we have done. We were the last freshmen class to be in- itiated by the seniors in the old traditional way, and the halls of C.H.S. fairly shuddered as we appeared bedecked in wildest colors, and were made full-fledged members of the student-body. We celebrated the end of the first quarter of our journey with a wonderful beach party at Wilson's Shelter. A brief breathing spell, and we were back at C. H. S., ready to start on the second lap of our journey. Mrs. Dold, Mrs. Iohnson, and Miss Sayers were there with map and com- pass to guide us over this new stretch of road, and we chose for our own leaders, Ronnie Smalley as president: Clarence Mc Neill, vice-president: Gerry Peterson, secre- tary-treasurer: and Phyllis Canright, Student Council representative. In true pioneer spirit we set about establishing a new tradition of our own, the custom of welcoming the fresh- men to C. H. S. with a Sophomore reception instead of the old-fashioned initiation. Our party was a huge success and set a high mark for succeeding classes to shoot at. Dur- ing the winter we had a skating party at Saidla's to earn money for the class party with which we planned to end this second quarter of our journey. Almost before we could realize it, the swiftly passing summer vacation ended and it was time to get out our knapsacks and hik- ing boots in readiness to resume our trip. The road was really rugged now: and there stood our sponsors, Mrs. Iohnson and the Rev. Means, pointing up the steep and winding trail, There is gold in them thar hills, said Mr. Means, but you gotta dig it out. Well, we were the Forty-niners, weren't we? Hard work didn't scare us, not with our eyes on that vision at the end of the trail, the Biggest and Best Prom C. H. S. ever had. Our new leaders, Guice Tinsley, president: Andy Me- dema, vice-president, Charlyce Granat, sec- retary: Phyllis Canright, treasurer, and Anita Ferguson, Student Council representative, set the pace, and it was a fast and furious one. We sold pop and candy, and sponsored dances after home games: we had the con- cessions at the tourney, arranged the Turkey Hop Turnabout, and the Four-Leaf Clover dance: and the gold poured out of the hills and into the Forty-niner's piggy banks as we came nearer and nearer to the end of the trail and the reward of all our toil and worry. The Prom was held in the Crystall Ball Room at Gary: the theme was It Had to Be You . and we danced to the music of Casa del Mar's orchestra. Another summer of rest and play and work, and we found ourselves gathered to- gether for the last steep climb. Only 66 re- mained of the 89 who started out on that September day four years ago and some of those were to drop out of the ranks before we reached the end of our journey. Clarence McNeill was elected president: Iim Gland, vice-president: Sue Sigler, secretary: Helen Lindley, treasurer: and Carmen Conru, Stu- dent Council representative. By this time we knew the trail so well we no longer needed guides to chart each step, but Mrs. Koch and Mr. Goldsbourgh stood by to see that we neither lagged behind nor lost our way. In October we opened the social sea- son of C. H. S. with the Fall Fiesta, a colorful affair and well attended. Soon we were in the midst of an extremely active political campaign to elect either Guice Tinsley or Gerry Peterson president of the student-body. The campaign manager for each candidate put on a clever and resourceful campaign, and it was nip and tuck right up to election day. In the final count Guice conceded the victory to Gerry. Work and worry on the Annual began immediately as we picked our new staff and began raising some much needed money. The Senior Girls made some improvement in the Senior Girls' Room by buying drapes and painting the walls rose and the woodwork grey. We called our- selves realistically enough, the Gold Diggers, and set about to do everything in general and nothing in particular. Our knowledge of the State Legislature was definitely broadened by a most interest- ing trip to Indianapolis. CAnd our knowledge of other things was broadened on the way homej Now we come to the end of our Iourney: the 61 of us who survived the trip now look out upon the different roads open before us. just as the pioneers looked out upon the vast blue pacific spread before them. The pleas- ant memories of the past four years will long linger in the hearts of us, the Forty-niners.

Our junior class started out the year with the election of our class officers. We elected Bob Danielson, president: Don Deitz, vice-president: Stanley Rand, treasurer: Betty Charboneau, secretary: and Alice Kettler, Student Council representative. We then set forth to accomplish our most important task of the year, the Iunior-Senior Prom. After scouting around a bit, we decided on the Crystal Ball Room in Gary, on Friday, May 13, 1949. We have obtained Ken Nowlan's orchestra. Our means of raising money for the prom included an indoor circus, concessions, and dances after home basketball games. Our biggest helps were the county tourney concessions and our dance, Cupid's Caper. This year we turned the tables at the annual junior-senior girl's basketball game, March ll, by defeating the Mighty Seniors . The starting line-up for our great team was as follows: Virginia Freed and Helen Beling, forwards: Iulia Ianowski and Ruth Carpenter, centers: and Virginia Lavinder and Carol De Haven, guards. No one seemed to be able to stop the Dead- Eye Reling who was high point girl with 24 points. Miss Swartz, who was our coach, proved to have done a great job. All the hard hours of practice were not spent in vain. All of us are looking forward to being the Mighty Seniors of '50 .

Arlene Vedell was elected president: Iack Gland, vice-president: Ileane Lee, secretary-treasurer: and George Bahlke, Student Council representative. George Rhed was elected the new represen- tative after George Bahlke left. Our first activity of the school year was the reception to Welcome the freshmen into our high school. Everyone enjoyed the annual class party which was held in the spring. The ambitious sophomores have hustled around and have obtained Marquette Park Pavil- ion for their Iunior-Senior Prom to be held May 13, 1950. We now have one more good reason to look forward to being upper-classmen. 5' ' Em it 'A f 1, ,W , V K .. 2. fr' M FnluL ,,Q ,MTW Jwgw,-.

We elected Calvin Cheeseborough as our vice-president: Mary Wood, our Student Council representative: Ierry Martin, our secre- tary: and Hope Colley, our treasurer. Our first semester party was given by the Sophomores, as a welcome to Chesterton High School: We spent an enjoyable evening playing games and eating our share of the refresh- ments. As of yet our second semester party is undecided but we are hoping to have a beach party in the spring. Last fall most of the members of our freshman class participated in an enjoyable tour of Chicago Municipal Airport, Brookfield Zoo, and the Railroad Fair. We all had a wonderful time. We are happy to have won the first prize for Opportunity Night, with an impersonation of Al Iolson by Ronald Baraz. Being a freshman is exciting, enjoyable, and interesting, but we are looking forward to our sophomore year in C. H. S. Y .

Freshman Chef Cyidlzf by Ambling Andrew Coach Michel with Charlyce Granat athletic office secretary 1948-1949 was one of the best seasons en- joyed by Chesterton in many years, as they won 14 and lost only 9. ln view of the fact that none of the boys on the team had played more than occasionally the season before, this record is especially good. Though the Trojans failed to win the coun- ty tourney, as many thought they were cap- able of doing, they gave every team they played a tough time of it. Not a little of the credit for their success should go to the supporters in the bleachers whose actions were complimented every- where. November 5, the Trojans met the Morgan Cherokees in an exciting battle but Morgan pulled it out of the fire, 48-40. Even though it was a loss, it foretold better things to come. November 12, with scoring power and ter- rific floor play, the Trojans walloped Wash- ington's Senators, 58-46. November 19, Edison edged the Trojans at the East Gary floor, 48-41. It was close, but Edison edged ahead in the last quarter and that was the game. November 24, the Trojans upset the Troop- ers from Wirt as they played their best ball of the year, 49-38. November 30, another exciting contest and another victory for Chesterton as they took one from Portage, 39-38, on the strength of Iimmy Gland's tree throw in the last few seconds. December 8, Hobart's low ceiling helped them out immensely as it prevented Guice Tinsley and Iim Gland from scoring from out. The Brickies took Chesterton, 41-36. December 10, Hammond Noll's Warriors didn't quite like the 4 point surprise prepared for them as the Trojans out-played them, 49-45. December 17, with Gustafson holding Sut- ter down to only two points, Chesterton took their fourth game in a row, 40-34. Athletic Honor Day Convocation December 23, the Trojans walked away with the Westville Blackhawks in the Hawk gym the day before Christmas Eve, 53-33. Ianuary l, then came the deluge. The Trojans lost two by the same identical score in the Valpo-Invitational Tourney. First Val- po edged them 37-36, and then Hobart got the idea and did the same thing in the con- solation game that night. Page 36 Qld glad!! Ianuary 7, North Iudson remained unde- teated after their encounter with the Trojans. It was their tenth straight win. The game was very close but Iudson pulled ahead in the last minutes, 39-33. January 14, the Trojans met the Hawks of Hebron there in a very slow game and won, 29-23. Ianuary 21, 22, the Chesterton rooters were enthusiastic as they watched the Trojans trim the Wheeler Bearcats, 35-18, in the first round of the County Tourney. At last the Trojans seemed to have a chance to win a county tourney and the cheering section was headed for the cheering section award by an overwhelming acclaim. Then Morgan upset the Trojans, even though the Boosters' did bring home their placque. The team in the Boosters' Parade Ianuary 26, Boone Grove's Grovers proved to be tougher than was expected as they overcame the Trojans first quarter 1-3 point lead, and beat them by two points in a sec- ond and sudden death overtime, 44-42. February 2, the Trojans romped over the Lions from Liberty as everyone saw action in the highest scoring game of the year, 65-40. Managers at work February 5, Dyer's Indians gave Chester- ton a slight scare as they pulled up in the last quarter to tie the score, but Blumer and Miller helped out to make the final score 46-44. February ll, the Trojans took the Bearcats from Wheeler in the Trojan's gym, 59-42, the same difference of 17 points as there was at the county tourney. February 18, the Trojans again upset the dopesters as they edged the Griffith Panthers at Griffith on the strength of Guice's last minute bucket, 47-48. February 23, in the first round of the sec- tionals in Valpo the Trojans took the Hawks from Hebron though they didn't have cm easy time of it, 42-38. February 23, in their second game of the tourney Chesterton met Kout's Mustangs and after the second half had begun there was little doubt of which team would win. Ches- terton did by 12 points, 52-40. February 26, in the semi-finals at Gary. the Trojans met the Vikings from Valpo and couldn't seem to do much against them as they absorbed their worst licking of the year. 52-37. Page 37 EMM G. A.

Its pur- pose is to further the interests of the student body, to encourage unity, to promote loyalty to the school, and to foster self government among the students. This year the student Council has amended its constitution which was drawn up in 1921. The Council has devoted itself particularly to bettering the monitor system and putting out a much needed handbook. The old group study room was redecorated by Council members this year and it is now the official Student Council room. Gerald Peterson and Dennis Gland are Student Body President and Vice-president respectively. G6 l, Page 43 qlwbmzf Gina!

Dold 1949 saw the advent of many striking changes in both the organization and func- tion of SCOOP. Most important of these were the decrease in number of staff members, the change from a monthly to a bi-monthly paper, and the innovations in content. 1949 SCOOPS were generally considered to be the finest so far in the club's history. Subscriptions boomed and for the first time copies of. SCOOP were filed by our local paper: the SCOOP staff and Tribune report- ers have worked together. The changes in content were usually from foolish trivia to more sensible and useful Connie Dabbert Dolores Scarlett Pat Leon Barbara Foster Loretta Warble Nancy Wood material. Book reports, critiques, club news, and various reviews were some of well-re- ceived introductions. Hardly a happening in the building was missed by some SCOOP re- porter. Other notables were the extras such as those on school election and athletic returns. Of course SCOOP awarded its customary athletic awards and trophies. The 1949 staff also corroborated the tradi- tion SCOOP has for a fun-loving group. Par- ties were had and the regular hilarity usual- ly ensued.

S. since it was introduced for the first time in 1947, and proved very suc- cessful. The course is taught for one semes- ter by a specially trained teacher. The first six weeks are spent in studying the mechan- isms of the car and the remainder of the se- mester is devoted to learning the series of 10 lessons in skillful driving, with actual ex- perience in the car. xi' 1 Qi rnaanmf' The two instructors, Mrs. Iohnson and Coach Michel with a few oi the students from each class.

The Gold-Diggers Club consists of all the Senior girls in the class who wish to get together occasionally throughout the year. There are thirty girls who belong. The first thing on our program for this year was the election of officers. Elected were: Ioanne Campbell, president: Pat Fornshell, vice-president: Marge Wood, treasurer: and Donna Good, secretary. Mrs. Koch was elected our sponsor. Next came the decoration of our room. Mr. Vetter painted the room for us. The colors are dusty rose walls and gray ceiling and woodwork. Flowered drapes were hung and the room took on a more comfortable look. The girls opened the season with a party at the home of Phyllis Canright. Games were played and the girls worked on decor- ations for the Fall Fiesta. Refreshments were served by Phyllis and her mother. Next, a Halloween party was held at the home of Carmen Conru. This was a date af- fair so we danced and played games. Of course, the traditional cider and donuts was served. Then there was the Christmas party at the home of Shirley Pall, to which each member brought a grab-bag gift. Besides listening to Christmas records we played games and saw movies. At the Christmas party held by the Senior class, the Senior girls' room was the center of attraction as that was the point from which the food was distributed. These wonderful memories will long dwell in the hearts of the C. H. S. Gold-Diggers of '49.

The most successful year in the history of the Boosters Club of Chesterton High School has been completed. The Boosters supported the team, winning or losing, at every game. Busses were chartered to take the Boosters to the out-of-town games, tourneys and sec- tionals. The basketball season was opened with a very effective parade, with floats entered by various organizations, the two bands, cars, and marching boosters. Kay Carlson was elected president for the second consecutive year, Nancy Olson, vice- president and Carla Glawe, secretary-treas- urer. Mrs. Dold served as sponsor. The most coveted award was the plaque won for the Most Outstanding Cheering Section at the County Tournament. The cheerleaders, Phyllis Canright, Charlyce Granat, Vivian Dockim, and Helen Reling, led clever and original cheers, assisted at each quarter with an exhibition yell by the junior varsity cheerleaders, Phyllis Peterson, Ioan Youngblood, Arlene Perez, and Rosalie Kolic. The cheering section put on the best exhibition ever shown at any tournament. Mr. and Mrs. Dold took the four varsity cheerleaders and the president to the An- nual Cheerleader conference held in Bloom- ington. They derived much benefit and en- joyment from the trip. As money making projects, T r o j a n scarves, pins, and cute crew hats were sold. A few of the special activities of the Boost- ers Club included decorating for the county baseball championship game, Qeven though Chesterton did not playj, sponsoring a Boosters parade, making welcome signs and programs for all home games, selling of tic- kets, and pep sessions every week. A free throw trophy was presented to Bob Cook at the Athletic Honor Convocation. The Boosters Club plans to make this an annual award. Ribbons were presented to the boys placing first, second, and third at all home track meets. This year's achievements are a challenge to all future Boosters.

The best presentation was the one-act play, When Elmer Played Iohn Alden . This was presented at a P. T. A. meeting and as a Thanksgiving convocation. Elmer was to play the part of Iohn Alden in the church pageant much to his disgust and Iane Camp- bell, the minister's daughter, was to play Priscilla. He was even more disgusted when brother Tom arrives home from college with his fiancee, Miss Pennyfield. Miss Penny- field tries to encourage him but Tom gets a great kick out of it. The climax of the play came when Elmer bites Iane's hand in- stead of kissing it.

The club is based on the prin- ciples of the four C's - Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. Each year the club undertakes several money-making projects such as a scrap drive or a raffle. The proceeds from these projects go for parties or dances, one of which is the annual Hi-Y formal dinner dance held in December. Twice a year the club meets with the other clubs in the district for a district Hi-Y confer- ence where problems of the clubs are discussed and an interesting program is assured.

The monitor system was originated under the auspices of the Student Council quite cr few years ago. Today it operates as it did then, checking passes of students in halls, keeping tops of lockers clear of books, and keeping the halls free of paper. A slight change was made in the system this year with the introduction of monitor captains. It is the job of the captains to take care of any and all jobs needed by the office. 'wr ,, 5?,,,,,,?

Midge, the youngest, finds herself surpris- ingly in the throes of first love and deter- mines to manage lives and emotions for her own ends. She thinks nothing of starting whirlwinds or even tornadoes to impress casual, witty Buzz Lindsay - who is un- luckily in love with older sister Virginia.

Mrs. Hartman is almost ready to admit that Mr. Hartman was right in con- tending that young people today are more irresponsible than the youth of his day. But on the night of the Spring Prom, Midge sets matters straight in a heartwarming and very funny manner. By the end of the week the Hartman children have taken importaant steps toward maturity, and their parents have learned a few things too. CHARACTERS Buzz Lindsay ........ ..................
