Crown Point High School - Excalibur Yearbook (Crown Point, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 32 of the 1931 volume:

In publishing this issue of the Crown Point High School Inklings, the Senior Class is aware of the fact that it is only a meager summary of the numerous activities and events of the school year. Yet we wish to bring before the people of this community this review of events, and pictures of the organizations and classes, because we feel that as a result the community will have a more vital interest in the future program of the school. We, the Senior Class of 1931, sincerely thank all those, who, through their support and counsel, have made this paper possible. SENIOR INKLINGS STAFF Editor-in-Chief . Assistant Editor .

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

W Senior Class History W At midyear promotion time, 1927, a group of bewildered eighth grad¬ ers transformed by the magic wand of the report card into freshmen, wandered around the halls wonder¬ ing why everything looked so dif¬ ferent now that they were freshies. They settled down into the classes that were finally arranged for the bothersome little pests, and fondly imagined that they looked like real high school students. Next year emboldened by the ad¬ dition of more eighth graders as well as students from the parochial schools and the country, they elected their class officers: President, Janet Iddings; Vice-President, Harold Hershman; Secretary, Gretchen Had- don and Treasurer, Ruth Letz. Noth¬ ing very constructive, was accom¬ plished that year — there were a couple of class parties which were lots of fun. At the end of the year the freshmen — sophomore hunt turn¬ ed out to be a failure, for the fresh¬ ies, because they couldn’t locate the class of ‘30. It was in this year that the class was saddened by the loss of one of their members, Gerald Holloway, who died very suddenly in November. The officers during the sophomore year were President Marjorie Ser- NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Class of 1930 — Elmer Blume Willis Schultz Lincoln Parry. Ervin Heisterberg Harriett Collins Mildred Margison Mary Margaret Benjamin (Junior) Katherine E. Fisher (Junior) Class of 1931— Mary Margaret Benjamin Katherine E. Fisher Mildred Letz Elwin Roy Brittan Florence Selkow Doris Enterline amur; Vice-President Charles Busen¬ burg; and Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Margaret Benjamin. The most im¬ port thing that the class did that year was to select their class rings, which were extremely good looking and apparently pleased the whole class. In the operetta “Tulip Time”, the class was represented by Janet Iddings as one of the cast, and several girls and boys in the choruses. In the junior year the class started with a sense of real responsibility and of big things to come. As of¬ ficers they choose: Mary Margaret Benjamin, president; George Ev¬ eretts, vice-president; Maxine Nor¬ ton, secretary: and Virginia Kyle, treasurer. The class play, “The Family Upstairs” proved a big suc¬ cess, for not only did the cast per¬ form with creditable ease but it netted the class a nice sum of money. The class was well repre¬ sented in the opertta “Sun Bonnet Girl” by Doris Enterline, Florence Selkow, Mary Jane Fritts, Alice CROWN POINT INKLINGS Burroughs, Mildred Letz and Bob Sherman. Several more members were in the choruses. Later in the year the “junior spring dance” pro¬ vided entertainment for an appre¬ ciative group of high school students and outsiders. Even the junior- senior hunt proved the prowess of the juniors, for did they not catch the over confident upper classmen? To soften the sting of that disgrace, howevr, they made the junior-senior banquet that year bigger and better than ever. It was held at the com¬ munity building and a large number attended. The officers for the senior year j were: John Pullen, president; Flor¬ ence Selkow, vice-president; Kath¬ erine Fisher, secretary and Harold Hershman, treasurer. Later in the year, when John Pullen moved away Florence Selkow took his place as president and Robert Sherman was elected vice-president. Marjorie Seramur was made the 1931 queen of the Carnival. In the operetta Orville Truelly, Doris Enterline Robert Sherman, Harold Hershman, Viola Weber, Harold Hodges, and Maxine Norton were a part of the cast and also the largest part. Of course there were several others in the choruses and dances. Commence¬ ment, that all important day, and the other activities that make up j the last days of a high school | career are yet before us. Every¬ one is looking forward to “Skid¬ ding”, the class play, and to make it a big success. And even now much has been omitted in this summ ary. Surely some mention should be made of the splendid athletic record made by some of the senior boys: Wayne Seramur, Evert Linton, Charles Busenburg, George Everetts, Roy Brittan, Wilbur Luke, Charles Hough and the others who helped gain honors for C. P. H. S. in football, basketball and track. Members of the class have been ac¬ tive in all the extra-curricular ac¬ tivities: Pepinella club, Hi-Y, band, orchestra, Inklings staff, glee club, debate — but space limits a record that is now far too long and we can only say that the class of ‘31 has left a record that is indeed commendable. Senior Class Prophesy One afternoon Margaret Ross, a noted crystal gazer, was pondering over the past and her thoughts rambled back to her high school days and her associates. Wondering what they were all doing she took out her crystal ball to see what she might discover. This is what she saw: Evert Linton patroling the high¬ ways as a motorcycle cop. He looked just as stunning in a uniform as he ever did. Wayne Seramur as head coach and athletic director at Purdue University. With him was his wife whom she remembered as Alice Burroughs. It seems that Alice is still at her old job—coaching Wayne. Roy Brittan conducting a huge band in a concert. It was clear that Roy had become the greatest band master in the country, rivaling and some people think even surpassing the great Sousa. Alice Fisher as the wife of a prominent Crown Point doctor, help¬ ing her husband in his office. Charles Busenburg giving his new rocket plane a send-off to Mars. It was well known that Charles had made many inventions which had sent aviation ahead by leaps and bounds. Rose Batterman leading a tiny girl by the hand. How strange to think that the little girl was Rose’s grand daughter. Lucile Gard, whom she remem¬ bered as a dear friend to Rose, re¬ covering from an injury she had suffered in an airplane accident. It looked as though Lucile would never walk again. Robert Sherman feeding his dogs. Bob had always had a dog with him when he was in high school. He now had one of the largest dog farms in the country. There seemed to be a representative of every kind of dog at his farm. Eleanor Letz supervising a card party which seemed to be for char¬ ity. Of course Eleanor was married. Florence Selkow President Senior Class She was without doubt the social axis of Leroy and was apparently very happy and prosperous. Vernon Luke rounding up great heards of steers somewhere on the plains of the Argentine. Maxine Norton on the stage in terpreting a modern drama. Thous¬ ands of people were applauding her fine performance, including Arthur. Wilbur Luke making a speech in Congress as a senator from Indiana. Viola Schultz as owner of the famous Red Feather Night Club at which she had been a hostess for ten years. Orville Truelly in front of a side show of a circus “barking” away for all he was worth. All the circus tents bore the name of George Everetts. He had turned out to be a bigger circus man than either of the Ringling Brothers had ever been. Could it be ? It was, Florence Selkow, now universally known as “Flossie the Flirt” laying down the law to a bunch of crooks, and show¬ ing them how it was done. A crowd gathering in a street. A little child had been run over and was bleeding badly. A doctor step¬ ped forth who was none other than Alvin Bixenman. The child’s mother rushed forward and what a coin¬ cidence that she should be Mildred Letz. Mildred ' s husband, one of her father’s former employees, and her 10 CROWN POINT INKLINGS twelve other children were with her. Alvin handled the case very effic¬ iently. He was known to hold marathon dances in very high es¬ teem. He had won several contests himself. Harold Hershman was right at hand to take care of any law suits that might arise from the accident. “Hershy ” had become quite a spec¬ ialist in his line, which wasn’t accidents but divorce cases. He was rather experienced, having had two himself. Marjorie Seramur in the operating room of a hospital at Gary, Indiana, administering ether to an unruly patient whom, it appeared, was one of her former suitors. Lester Heisterberg in all his glory running the World’s Fair as mayor of Chicago. It was now as peaceful as Zion City due to his reign with an iron hand. Without a doubt he was the biggest and best mayor Chicago had had since Thompson’s regime. Ruth Letz was quite happy in her social obligations as first lady of the land, entertaining the Prince of Wales and his wife. Virginia Kyle was the wife of the Prince. She was still on the stage much against her husband’s wishes. But she al¬ ways had a way with the men. Harold Heisterberg as alderman of the first ward in Chicago in his office being assisted by his wife, Laura Reigart. It will be remem¬ bered that they were married the Saturday following commencement. Doris Enterline in her studio working on her masterpiece. It was rumored that she had her hands insured for one hundred thousand dollars. Her husband was with her, helping or hindering as the case might be, and of course it was Johnny. David Weinberg taking part in a big golf tournament in England. Dave was the favorite and it looked like a certain victory. Margaret Heintz in a session with the President of the United States, who seemed to be declaring war. As his private secretary of course she was taking notes on the session. Harold Patz as a great orator speaking before a large group of women’s clubs. Ruth Ewer coaching the debating squad at Chicago University. It was known that the University had not lost a debate since she had been the coach there. Leona Nielson operating a beauty salon in Valparaiso which was pat¬ ronized by the select, both men and women. Harold Reeder, a second Sherlock Holmes arresting Helen Gilbey for smuggling diamonds into this coun¬ try. Helen had proved very elusive and it had been only with the great¬ est difficulty that Harold had cap¬ tured her. Helen McCaslin as a great poetess delivering one of her greatest works of art before a high school assembly, which would undoubtedly appreciate it. Russell Gard on the lot as Holly¬ wood’s leading man. He captured the hearts of all the fair damsels who chanced to see him on or off the screen. Katherine Fisher was preparing to take a trip around the world. She had just completed a new dic¬ tionary. Emma Sonnenberg as the owner of the A P chain stores starting a war against home owned stores. Charles Hough as a dentist of re¬ nown replacing some teeth that had been either extracted or knocked out. People visited Charles from all over the country—he was such an expert in his line. Mary Margaret Benjamin as a great weather prophet. She was sitting on a high bench gazing at the silver loving cup which had just been presented to her for prophesy¬ ing weather correctly for two years. Viola Weber as a piano player who was one of the stars on the Columbia Broad Casting Network. Of course she was married, but her husband wasn’t with her. Miss Bollenbach happily married to a former teacher in Crown Point. Mr. Pruitt enjoying a football game at Indiana University where his son was the hero of the game. Senior Class Play — “Skidding” The play “Skidding” was pro¬ duced by the Senior Class of 1931, under the direction of Miss Margaret Bollenbach. It was given on May 8th, 1931, in the Community build¬ ing, before a large and appreciative audience. The plot synopsis and characters follow: A fresh, sincere picture of American family life, showing Marion Hardy, (Virginia Kyle) a modern college girl who falls ecsta¬ tically in love with Wayne Trenton (Robert Sherman) just as a career is opening up to her, and the diffi¬ culties she has in adjusting her romance. Then there are the two pretty young daughters ( Alice Bur¬ roughs and Marjorie Seramur) who chose to marry before they finished their education and want to “come home to mother” at the first sign of trouble. Mother Hardy (Maxine Nor¬ ton) is so upset at the modern ten- encies of her daughters, that she goes on a strike in order to straigh¬ ten out her family. Young Andy Hardy (Charles Busenburg) is an adorable adolescent lad with his first “case”, a typical Booth Tark- ington part. He keeps the audience in a gale of merriment with his humorous observances. Grandpa Hardy (Roy Brittan) touches the heart with his absent mindedness and his reminiscences about Grand¬ ma; and the white satin slippers he makes for Marion to be married in, hav a great deal to do with straight¬ ening out her love affair. Humor is blended with pathos and a delic¬ iously garnished philosophy makes “Skidding” more significant than the average comedy. It is life! Other characters in the play are Aunt Millie (Mary Margaret Ben¬ jamin) Mr. Stubbins (Wayne Ser¬ amur, and Judge Hardy (Harold Hershman).

Junior Glass {ist ory On September 7, 1928, the mam¬ moth dirigible, Class of ‘32, took off from depot C. P. H S. It was manned by nearly 85 healthy, but rather green Freshmen. Helen Burroughs was chosen as chief pilot with Tom Pollen and Jennie Egelski to aid her. No disaster of any great note befell the good craft on its first trip. The program given the night of the Hallowe’en Carnival of ‘28 was pretty keen. (Ask Florence Helrich or Tom Wise). A party was also enjoyed in the high school gym about the middle of the year. After nine months the non-stop flight came to an end, sadly in need of repairs (not the flight — the ship). Some of the crew who changed Ships or used their parachutes after the first trip were Dorothy Biegel, Robert Bolt, Merriam Claussen, Elinor Deering, Herman Fox, Anna Kubrick, Leroy Neier, Victor Neier, and Florence Helrich. In 1929 the dirigible’s officers changed. This trip Bill Horst was chief pilot with Luther Ballan and Blanche Gault to help him. Two more worthy buddies were also picked up, Frances Stiener and Dorothy Swain. Around the first of March of 1930, the crew united with the Class of ‘33 in a freshman—sophomore dance. Boy! what a night! At the end of the second flight another high point was reached in the pledging of Pepinella members. Oh gee! More thrills! More fun! More hairpins lost! Ohh — ! Soon after this, however the ship again landed for a general overhauling and many of our fel¬ low aviators took their leave.

Arthur Gibbs was elected chief pilot this time with three helpers; namely John Bareman, Robert Ross and Jennie Egelski. Florence Helrich came back at the beginning of the trip and about the middle of the year Mae Heick found her way back. Russell Pratt became a warrior of the air a few weeks later.

Sophomore Class Notes On September 2, 1929, a good sized group of green, young hope¬ fuls entered the portals of C. P. H. S., and became the class of ‘33, destined to do big things. After the first six weeks things began to happen and on the var¬ sity football spuad Bob Sullivan played as a regular and several other boys showed great promise for the coming year. In October at the annual carnival election we placed a freshman queen, Evelyn Margison. Then came the operetta “The Sunbonnet Girl” with several of our girls singing in the choruses and Peg Boye heading the list with a solo. In girls’ basketbal seven freshmen made the first squad. Among them was Maxine Woods, who received one of the sweaters they so gener¬ ously supplied the girls With. The boys had a good freshman team and when track came along several of our boys showed up fine. Then school dismissed and we be¬ came full fledged sophs and quite ready and fitted to put the incoming freshies in their places, but we lost nearly thirty members of our one hundred and ten. At the beginning of our soph year several boys got sweaters for football. Martha Parry relieved Dorothy Hodges in the president’s chair and in another operetta, “Hulda of Holland”, Joe Horn play¬ ed an important part and several girls sang in choruses. At Hallowe’en a sophomore king occupied the throne. Dick Madsen, and by the way, our royalty seem to be strangely attracted to each other and it looks rather permanent. On the 26th of November we threw our first big dance. Three of our boys played on the team, and several played on the second team. In the class tourney the soph girls defeated the fresh¬ men and seniors for the champion¬ ship. The boys beat the freshmen and junio rs for the championship, also. Now, we’re ready to begin our junior year with nearly eighty mem¬ bers. 14 CROWN POINT INKLINGS x , FRESHMAN CLASS Top Row left-to-right: Walter Hoshaw, Edward Glover, Andrew Place, Edward Wagner, William Fifield, Ernest Milburn, Clifford Bartholomew, Raymond Schmidt, Willard Paarlberg, Delbert Fisher, Arthur Boesel, Jack Fuerst, Clarence Wachter, Malcolm Parry.

Freshman Class Notes There are eighty one freshman in the high school this year making it and the sophomore class the same size and also the two largest classes in school. This class left Miss Dutton and Miss Smith on May 22, 1930, after having acquired a lot of knowledge. The president of the class is William H. Fifield. Mr. Mahan and Mr. Songer have charge of the freshman boys, and Mrs. Seamon- son and Miss Sowash have charge of t he girls. At the time the Carnival Ernest Milburn and Mildred Gerlach were freshman king and queen elects. Miss Sowash’s advisory had a picture gallery which was quite a success. Mrs. Seamonson’s advis¬ ory had a candy stand which was never in need of customers. At Christmas time about sixteen of Miss Sowash’s girls went to her home on Court street and had a party. They exchanged gifts and all those present enjoyed the evening. There were seven freshman boys out for football, and about that many for basketball. Several freshman girls and boys were in the operetta, “Hulda of Holland.” CROWN POINT INKLINGS EIGHTH GRADE First Row, left-to-right: William Steeb, Bryant Brown, Harry Tolen, Vernon Hoshaw, Anderson Burns, Frances Klarlcowski, Carol Root, Neilsen Ifyu, Joe Weinberg, Henry Neimyer.

He was a heavy line plunger and a fast man around the ends, as well as a consistent punter and place kicker. Charles Busenburg, although rath¬ er light, played center. He made many nice passes from center and broke up many would-be touch¬ downs. Charles Hough, right end, was a good wing man and would snatch long passes out of the air. He was good at kicking, also, as a tackle. Bill Fateh was a fast half back and a good ground gainer, especially on going through the line. This was his first year on the team. Wilbur Luke, guard followed the ball well and recovered many fum¬ bles during the season. He could block and tackle very well. Dick Madsen, quarter back, was a cool field general and followed the team well. He was accurate on pass behind the line as well as for¬ ward passes, and could carry the ball. (Hell was also very good at tackle position.) Bill Horst, fullback, was a great player. He could always be depend¬ ed upon to gain some ground, and usually broke through the line for long gains. He was accurate at passing and a sure tackier. Evert Linton played left end, and had an ideal build for his position. He could catch difficult passes and was a good sprinter in an open field. Burton Ellis, end, with his build he was well suited for this position (Continued on Page 21) CROWN POINT INKLINGS 17 HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL TEAM Top Row, left-to-right: Charles Busenburg, William Horst, Thoman Wise, Wayne Seramur, Wilbur Luke David Jorbin (mgr.)

Sasketha jYotes Captain Wayne Seramur has played nearly every position on the team and can look back with pride on the three years of varsity com¬ petition. In the first year he played back guard, the next, center, and the last, guard and center. He was good at short shots and also at long shots, and a driving dribbler, but his best work was on defensive. Bill Horst played forward and was a good bulwark of defense. He was a bulwark on defense. He take the ball down the floor any old time. Dick Madsen, forward, was a fast player and a dead shot from the foul line and from side lines. He will be back next year and then watch him. Dick Collins played a very good game at guard. When he became ill he was greatly missed by everyone, but better luck next year, Dick. Charles Busenburg played for¬ ward and was a very clever dribbler. He was a fast player and always came to the rescue. Evert Linton, forward, was a good defensive player. He had little trouble in getting the ball into the basket. Bill Fateh, playing his first year, showed up wonderfully. He played a nice defensive game all the year through. Tom Wise had the misfortune of having to leave the team at a crit¬ ical time. He was a wonderful guard. Wilbur Blocker played the whole season as floor guard and went to the tournament. He filled his pos¬ ition creditably. Roy Brittan showed up very well in his position. He could do some nice dribbling. Wilbur Luke played a nice defen¬ sive game. He was a good, depend¬ able man. George Everetts was a very fast dribbler and could shoot from any angle of the floor. Basket Ball schedule (tentative) 1931-32. Dec. 2 — Open. Dec. 5 — Chesterton here. Dec. 7 — Whiting here.

Part of the crew was called upon to entertain the older and younger shipmates about the first of 1930. This was most successfully done by the presentation of “The Wasp’s Nest”, a mystery comedy in three acts. The day after this the Varsity football team tied Lowell High school team and the Class of ‘32 united with the Athletic Association in a “Victory Dance”. Some hop! Everything sailed along smoothly from then on. Not once did the motor miss. Affairs were too calm (exam worries excepted) so the Royal Eagles of the air threw a Christmas Dance which proved es¬ pecially beneficial for some. (How about it, Gibbs?) Full speed again after Christmas vacation! Clear sailing after mid¬ year exams. A high point in class history when the junior boys won the preliminaries of the inter-class basket ball tournament and held the sophs to a bard battle at the finals. More happiness! When late in the third flight, the annual Spring Dance ensued.

New members were taken in a wee k before Christmas and appeared at the Lowell — Crown Point game as kids with hair ribbons and dolls. A few prospective yell leaders were discovered. After Christmas the initiation party was neld. We regret to remember that Wilma, Evelyn and Irene suffered ill effects, but they weren’t lasting. The “Date Party” was the biggest event of the year. Exciting things happened both Saturday and Sunday. Of course everyone danced and partook of the refreshments.

Kennth Haniford also played end and did it equally as well as the others. Wilbur Blocker, a veteran tackle, had a habit of getting through the line, and blocking punts or getting the runner. Walter West also played tackle, being his first year made him rather inexperienced. Malcolm Stonex, was a reliable tackle, although rather light for his position. He worked hard and will be a great help next year. Bob Sullivan was a fast half back. He did much of the punting and was good at tackling. Kenneth Linton played a good game at quarter back. He was a fast man and downed many pros¬ pective heroes. Malcolm Clark played half back. Although inexperienced, he was a good defensive man. Earl Buckley played end, but was rather inexperienced, being only a first year man. Orville Truelly, guard, played very well. He was a good passer from center. Bill Fifield, half back, aften broke through on offense. Bob Ross, guard, will be a fine man for next year-. Harold Hershman played tackle or guard.
