Senior Class History jZ? Many long years ago, on the seventh of September, nineteen hun¬ dred and twenty-eight, a group of 85 bewildered but happy “peagreens” boarded the ’32 Limited for a four year journey into the land of High School. The train proceeded slowly the first year, in order for the little folks to become acquainted with this new kind of life. On their first journey the passengers decided to make the following appointments: Engineer, Helen Burroughs; Conduc¬ tor, Jennie Egelski; Brakeman, Tom Pollen. During the course of the year as the train proceeded on its journey, a general restlessness was felt among the travelers, so it was de¬ cided to side-track and arrange for one of the annual Hallowe’en Carni¬ vals. This they did, and it turned out to be a “howling success”. As a result, the entire company was content to settle down to more ser¬ ious thoughts and proceed on the way. About the middle of the year, it was decided to again side-track and enjoy a social gathering in the form of a party. Everyone agreed this kind of life to be just the thing, but as the train neared the destination at the end of nine months the passengers were glad to hurry home to see all the folks, while the ’32 was held for repairs. When the whistle blew for the journey of 1929, grips were hurried¬ ly packed, and everyone rushed to the train. Roll was called and nine were found to be missing—Dorothy Biegel, Robert Bolt, Merriam Claus- sen, Elinor Deering, Anna Kubik, Leroy Neier, Victor Neier, Herman Fox, and Florence Helrich. They had decided they had had enough traveling, and so turned their foot¬ steps elsewhere. The “graduated peagreens” (you see they had now become intelligent) made this time for their over-se’ers, Engineer, Bill Horst; Conductor. Blanche Gault; Brakeman, Luther Ballan. It wasn’t long ‘til ' two more board¬ ed the Limited, Frances Steiner and Dorothy Swain. The more the mer¬ rier, was chorused by everyone. About the first of March in 1930, the “peagreens” and “graduated peagreens” went together for a Freshman-Sophomore dance and that was the night of nights! Near the end of the journey, Pep- inella members were pledged—fun and more fun! After another nine months of travel, everyone left for their re¬ spective homes, no worse for the wear and tear. A big time was had by all. Three months rest and time came for the next trip. No whistle was needed; they were all there with bells on. These were counted and several were found to be missing— Constantine Argus, Mae Heick, Louise Griner, Lester Blank, Bea¬ trice Henning, Florence Post, and Arthur Dance. A new bell, Russell Pratt, was added and another new belle, Margaret Arnold. A familiar 8 CROWN POINT INKLINGS bell was found which turned out to be Florence Helrich. The boys seemed to be in big de¬ mand, and for the third journey were Engineer, Arthur Gibbs; Sub¬ engineer, John Bareman; Conductor, Jennie Egelski; Brakeman, Robert Ross. A month later, the train side¬ tracked, and the jolly-junior girls of Miss Green’s and Mrs. Tracy Thomas’s advisories had a great big date with a little bit of an island in Wonder Lake. Hot dogs and pick¬ les were the main feature of the evening. About the middle of the journey another familiar tinkle was heard, and the belle which boarded the train was Mae Heick. Around the first of 1930, some of the travelers were chosen to enter¬ tain the older and younger passen¬ gers. The big event was “The Wasp’s Nest”, a mystery drama in three acts. It was a huge success. The day after, the varsity football team tied the Lowel High team and the ’32s joined the Athletic Association in a “Victory Dance”. It was a wow! From then ‘till Christmas, very- thing was quiet, except for the mar¬ velous time with exams. The trav¬ elers craved excitement, so they threw a Christmas danc., which proved to be quite the thing. The Limited side-tracked for Christmas vacation. One week was spent in sleeping, and the other in dreaming (not about school, either). Shortly after, another side-track was made for mid-year exams. Next the junior boys won the pre¬ liminaries of the inter-class tourney, and held the sophies to a hard bat¬ tle at the finis. Mush happiness ensued in prepar¬ ation of the annual Junior-Senior banquet annd prom. There was a big time in the old town for one night, as a farewell to the ’31 seniors. The third journey was filled with excitement and pleasure, and the fourth and last was looked forward to with eager anticipation. The big day finally arrived with the Blue and Gold Limited all in readiness for the last and biggest journey of all. After much ado about everything, the noise and babbling finally subsided and everyone settled down to attend to more important matters. Roll was first called and those missing were Ruth Taylor, Virgil Cooper, Robert Pace and Elmer Luebcke. Their attention was next turned to election with the follow¬ ing returns. First engineer Vernon Rosenthal; Second engineer, Eugene Ingersoll; Conductor, Dorothy Diddie; Brakeman, Adah Letz; Chief Engin¬ eer of the Senior Inklings, Margaret Bixenman. After two months of really hard work, the ’32 side-tracked for a dance, which caused everyone to feel much better. About the middle of the year, one of the passengers, Earl Dillie, due to illness, was forced to discontinue his journey. ‘Til Christmas everything went smoothly. The Limited side-tracked for vacation, which was greeted with open arms. Two weeks of great pleasure ensued, and a much needed rest was enjoyed by all. It wasn’t long though ‘till an¬ other side-track was made, but this time for mid-year exams, which was greated with many and more groans. That was a strenuous week. Shortly after, John Zukows, one of our athletes, took his leave, follow¬ ed later by Louis Miller. Nothing much happened ‘till blus¬ tery March, wherein, on the night of the eleventh, they gave a big dance. Among those who attended were the senior athlete celebrities — Bill Horst, Tom Wise, Robert Ross, Wilbur Blocker, Russell Murray, Harry Steinman, Vernon Rosenthal (he was accompanied by the orches¬ tra), John Bareman, Robert Volk, and Russell Pratt. John Zukows was unable to attend. The dance was enjoyed immensely after a quiet life spent with books. Several days later, the ’32 side¬ tracked for the annual spring vaca¬ tion. Such fun as everyone did have those four days. Homeward bound, Gordon Schultz, had the misfortune to break his leg, so he was rushed home. The train proceeded quickly on its way in order to arrive on schedule time at Commencement, its des¬ tination. On the last lap of the journey, some of the travelers were chosen to entertain in the form of a play. “Tommy”, a three act comedy, was successfully presented by Eileen Nethery, Florence Suhs, Margaret Bixenman, Russell Pratt, John Bare¬ man, Arthur Gibbs, Vernon Rosen¬ thal and Forrest Everett. Many of the travelers were active in outside activities—Inklings Staff, debate, plays, operettas, glee club, and last but not least, athletics. Bill Horst made the All Star team, and was presented with a white sweater. Tom Wise, Robert Ross, Wilbur Blocker, and John Barman also received sweaters during their high school athletic career. About fifty passengers will end their traveling school days, and they have indeed, left a splendid record. The Class of ‘32 desires to present their Limited to the Freshman class of ’32 and sincerely hope that their journey will be as happy and as educational. Senior Class Play, “Tommy” It happened — What? The Senior Class play, of course. When? On the evening of May the sixth, nineteen hundred and thirty-two. Where? At the Community building. Who? Eight members of the senior class. Why? Well curiosity killed the cat, but if you’ll promise not to tell—to make money. The play was skillfully directed under the guidance of Miss Mar¬ garet Bollenbach, the dramatics instructor. Tommy is a comedy in three acts by Lindsay and Robinson which was first produced at the Gaiety Theatre of New York and was given a long (Continued on Page 14) CROWN POINT INKLINGS 9 Senior (S ass ty?rop i esy It was a cool spring day in April, 1952, and the sun shown brightly into my cozy room as I sat there smoking my Italian briar pipe. As I blew the thick, grey smoke out in rings my mind began to wander back about twenty years into the dismal portals of the past and there I saw once more all the old high school schoolmates, with whom I enjoyed my high school career so much. Suddenly the smoke rings burst and with them the past was forgot¬ ten. In its place the bright, glamor¬ ous present took its place in the smoke rings. My mind asked me several questions and like a magic prophesy they were answered in the smoke rings. “What had become of all the old class of ’32?” “What were they doing?” The smoke rings revealed: John Bareman was seen on the doorstep of a house in a highly residential district talking very elo¬ quently to a lady who seemed to be very interested. Well, why shouldn’t she be with the famous salesman of all times talking to her? Mark down another sale, Bareman! “Ikky” Horst was depicted as far, far away from his former high school town. My Gosh! He’s way out in California. He seems to be giving a group of boys with helmits and padded pants the talking to of their lives. Southern California win that game, says Coach Horst. Ah! Helen Buroughs seems to be happy. She has turned out to be a zoologist. I see her in the Park’s Laboratory working over an ugly looking snake. According to Helen it seems the snake has the heaves, or something. Believe it or not Helen is an old maid. Francis Steiner was a charming maid in one of the biggest mansions in Hebron, but who ownes the man¬ sion? Let us see! Why it is Joyce Frame. A local girl makes good after she got married to Mr. For¬ rest Everett who has turned out to be one of Crown Point’s greatest and biggest judges of the criminal court. Ah! The next smoke ring reveais a very tall, slender man on the stage, depicting a world famous character — Abraham Lincoln. � He takes off his makeup. What a shock! It is no other than Earl Buckley, one of our famed actors. Here’s looking at you, Earl. Next is Florence Suhs who is in Hollywood. Oh no, she is not an actress. She is the maker of great cosmetics to make your skin like a school girl’s. All Hollywood is raving about it and strange as it seems Florence still has her school¬ girl complexion. Wonders will never cease. Florence (Herlitz and Irma Rettig are “rah rah” girls, anyway they are sitting at a football game yelling their heads off. Oh pardon me, someone just told me they are teachers at Northwestern University. “Who’da thunk it.” Next is George Wemple who is standing before the jury box plead¬ ing a very important case. George is a great lawyer in Chicago and boy! how that man can talk. Bill Murton and Russel Pratt are the next on the scene, in fact, they are in the headlines. These two great aviators made a non-stop flight from Chicago to Paris. Rer member this is 1952. Aviation has advanced. Next appears Dorothy Diddie who is owner of a famous night club at which she has been hostess for ten years. An added feature of attrac¬ tion is Mae Heick who with her great musical talent holds the aud¬ ience spell bound. Mildred Prochno comes forth in a spurt of dramatic ability as she plays the part of Gamilial, the sec¬ retary in Elinor Hopp’s latest drama “The Peoples State Bank Goes Broke”. Tho crowd cheers! The stands are in an uproar. Bases loaded, one out, and the mighty Robert Stiener, com¬ monly called “Stiny” is at bat. One strike, two strikes, but not like Casey at the bat, “Stiny” didn’t strike out. He knocks a ground ball over to Murriwillumba, the short stop. Mur- rillwillumba gets it, over to Murum- bridgee at second then to Kooly- wurti at first for a double play. What a life! And what a team! (Names of players not necessary to be pronounced). Blanche Gault is in session with the president of the United States who is about to declare war on the whole world. As his private secre¬ tary of course she was taking notes. Oh yes! Pardon me, tactless of me, but how could I miss it? The presi¬ dent at this time was Wilbur Block¬ er, who had jumped from city tru¬ ant officer to State Senator; then t) Washington as the choice of the people. Russell Murray is next in line as a great orator speaking before a large group of women’s clubs. Think of it, folks, think of it. Tom Wise steps forth with his piccolo and plays us a little tune. Tom has one of the best symphonies in the country. Luther Ballon is one of his greatest players. He plays the kettle drums. Eileen Nethery is showing her great dramatic ability taking the part of Juliet in Shakespear’s great drama. Who do you think Romeo is? No, not Pratt but Arthur Gibbs. While Art is not on the stage he runs a big dairy farm down near Le Roy. An electric sign on a big 12 story building next appears saying Far- quhar and Letz Inc. It is one of the best hotels in the city and Ada and Hildred make it more so. Ada hand¬ les the financial side; Hildred, the customers. Robert Ross next appears as a great New York broker. He is dui to retire soon. He is considered one of the greatest “bears” or “bulls”, I don’t know which, in the stock market racket. He lives in a palicial mansion on Wall street. Miss Gertrude Eberspacher is de¬ picted as a great poetess who is known for her latest book of poems ' n “How to run a high school office”. She has a real line and big words— just “esk” me. I always knew Irene Jurs would make something of herself. She has (Continued on Page 13) 10 CROWN POINT INKLINGS We, the members of the grea and glorious class of 1932 of Crown Point High school, do hereby be¬ queath the following things to our fellow students: “Red” Rosenthal leaves his Junior girl friend for some Junior boy.

' jjp Junior Class History ' ip ' September 2, 1929, was the date set for organizing the “Class of 1932”. It was decided that a cruise on the “Freshman Sea” would be helpful to all the members, so with about 110 midshipman they set sail on the ship “Class of ‘33”. The crew elected Dorothy Hodges as their captain, George Claussen, assistant captain, Evelyn Margison, as first mate. In October it was decided that an election be held to find out who would rule as “Queen of the Ship”, and Evelyn Margison was elected to the throne. The rest of the voyage was made with very few mishaps, except for the loss of about 30 of our crew. Amid tearful good-byes the “Green Freshies” completed their first voy¬ age on the “Sea of Education”. September 2, 1930 the “Class of ’33” re-organized and set their sails for the “Sophomore Sea”. Martha Parry was elected captain, Joe Horn, assistant captain, and Robert Sulli- vain, first mate. It was decided that a king should rule over the second voyage, so the gobs got together and selected Richard “Dick” Madsen to adorn the throne. The biggest event on the second voyage was a dance given on the 26th of November. The crew got to¬ gether in the “C. P. H. S. Salon” on board the ship and “many a tar” danced until the wee, small hours of the morning with the deck orches¬ tra, “Doc and His Doctors.” After losing a few of our mid¬ shipmen and gaining new ones the Sophomores disbanded with the hopes of a bigger ad better voyage for the coming year. On September 8, 1931 the “Class of ’33” started on a long, perilous journey on the “Junior Sea”. This time the crew chose for its captain Joe Horn, assistant captain, Edward Henderlong, first mate, Winifred Farquhar, second mate, Bert Ellis. Again a queen was to rule the ship so the crew decided that Winifred Farquhar should be the one. During this voyage the crew was called upon many times to enter¬ tain the passengers. On October 10th a dance was given, and again on No¬ vember 24th the crew entertained the passengers at a dance in the “C. P. H. S. Salon”, to the music of the deck orchestra. On January 14th a different form of amusement was planned. The Romantic musical comedy, “The Gypsy Rover ’ with our good captain, Joe Horn playing the leading role, was given in the auditorium on board the ship. February 13th the crew gave an- (Continued on Page 15) 12 CROWN POINT INKLINGS SOPHOMORE CLASS Top Row — Jack Fuerst, Billy Fifield, Clifford Bartholomew, Dorothy Aiken, Charlotte Wemple, Margaret Jacobs, Mary McMahon, Norma Milburn, Lillian Booker, Charlotte Holloway, Margret Duve, Esther Harper, Ann Johnson, Marcela Collins, Virginia Lane, Mary Hargrove, Raymond Schmidt, Florence Fischer, Harold Bartholomew.

' H ' Sophomore History In the fall of 1930 eighty-five youngsters with wide open eyes started on their long coveted tour through high school. We began our career in a most busines-like manner by electing Billy Fifield as president, Bud Tay¬ lor as v ice president and Malcolm Clark as secretary and treasurer. Many of our boys showed real ability in football and basketball last year and even more this year. Ernest Milburn and Mildred Ger- lach were our nominess for king and queen of the Hallowe’en Carni¬ val. We are sorry that Mildred is not with us this year and though Ernest was here the first part of the year he has not been in school dur¬ ing the second semester. When we again met in September, 1931, Douglas Dickey was elected president. Billy Fiefild made an excellent showing in football and though there were many sophomore boys out for the sport, none were lucky enough to get into the games, but they’ll be coming through next year. In basketball several of our boys played marvelously. Among those were Doug Dickey, Malcolm Clark, Delbert Fischer, Clarence Wachter, and John Louis, Although Danny Andemacht, “Plugger” Andrew Place and Bud Parry didn’t play much they displayed splendid possibilities. Then came the operetta! The sophomores were represented by Ginnie Lane, who played the part of the leading lady. She was ab¬ solutely gorgeous! She has a delight¬ ful singing voice and remarkable dramatic ability. That’s Ginnie for you! Eddie Glover and Benny Pressler were given speaking parts and they handled them very well. They weren’t nervous (much). Next came the sophomore’s big moment. The dance on April 16th, 1932. The gym was beautifuuly dec¬ orated in blue and gold. “Doc and his Doctors” furnished ye olde sweet music. Refreshments were served (if you paid for them) and all in all it was one grand affair. You know, soft lights and sweet music — m —m. Another thrill was the pledging of four sophomore girls into the Pepinellas, the initiation and the date dance. Ginnie Lane won a medal from the D. A. R.t for writing an essay on George Washington. It was a regular masterpiece, too. Benny Pressler won first place in the National Orchestra contest in Detroit. Nice going, Benny. As we near the end of our second year we sincerely resolve to make the class of ’34 bigger and better. Com’ on ’34!

Senior Prophesy (Continued from Page 9) turned out to be one of the leading women politicions. She holds a seat in the U. S. Senate. Oh yes, she’s a Democrat! Margaret Bixenman has followed her desired ambitions too. She is the editor of the popular Le Roy Gazette and what a paper it is. It ought to be with Margaret editing it. “Genie” Egelski and Virginia Baker have also followed their de¬ sires. They run a big New York dancing school from which many of the famous follies girls are picked. Vinginia handles the toe dancing departmet; “Genie” the finger danc¬ ing, pardon, I mean the group danc¬ ing. Their motto: “Life is just a dance — or two. Boyde Howard surprised us in the next smoke ring by being in Egypt doing archaeological work — well any¬ way he is digging for old relics or something. Just look in Crown Point’s Simon Musium and you ' ll see many of his wonderful discov¬ eries. Next we see Margaret Arnold and Loraine Mounce as nice quiet nurses in the operating room smiling down on an unruly but handsome patient. The patient is Clarence Klass, who was driving the New York Central train with the president, and had a serious accident. The wheel came off. Eugene Ingersoll next appears with a wide broad smile. He is a comedian on the stage, and boy how he can make them laugh. He also writes plays during his spare time, the latest one being “Sasafras”. Harold Meeker next comes through with a left to the jaw and a right to the mid-section. What a man! He has turned out to be a great boxer. In fact he is greater than Demsey. Lawrence Hershman has just com¬ pleted his thirty-eight years and knows, at the present time thirty- eight languages. Right now he is in the Somoan Islands teaching Greek. Gordon Shultz, a graduate from three different colleges is playing with the weather at Washington. He has turned out to be the nation’s greates Agricultural as well as .the finest Astronomical man. Florence Helrich is seen next out in wild Montana. What she is doing I don’t know, but there is a man with her. The odds are against her this trip. I believe it must be a honeymoon. This is her fourth or fifth husband. Kenny Linto n is depicted in Nash¬ ville, Tenn., married to one of those sweet southern girls. I guess Mar- garete couldn’t keep him from the (fascination of the south. He is in the tobacco business. Edna Roffman and Margaret Neth- ery are next seen on the top of a high mountain in the Swiss Alps. They are painting a wonderful scene of sunset. Margaret does the paint¬ ing while Edna looks for inspira¬ tions. Kathryn Meyer is noted for her society column in the New York times. She is one of New York’- biggest social leaders, and she really knows her stuff. Charlotte Houk is seen in a big building off Sheridan Road, Chicago. The building is magnificent with high ceilings and arched walls. She is taking notes for one of the richest men in the world. The captain of industry— Leon Tolbert. I remem¬ ber when he used to peddle news¬ papers. What a change! 14 CROWN POINT INKLINGS School Calendar , 1931-1932 0 Sept. 7—School opened. Sept. 19—Crown Point (7) vs. La- Porte (13).

It is the story of the youth, “Tom¬ my” (Russell Pratt) who brings candy to his would-be mother-in-law, Mrs. Thurber (Florence Suhs), cigars to the would-be father-in-law (Ar¬ thur Gibbs) and shows himself sucn a paragon of virtue that the daugh¬ ter (Eileen Nethery) is checked in her mad tendency to love him. Her parents are eternally pushing her into Tommy’s arms. An uncle (Ver¬ non Rosenthal) detects destruction of the romance and puts into Tom¬ mie’s mind a scheme to mend mat¬ ters. Tommy succeeds so well that Marie’s mother ad father are very strongly encouraging her to take up with other young men, and one wonders what the end will be, but the whole plot is entirely enjoyable. The New York Times says of Tom¬ my: “It is one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season—bright, fresh, and continuously funny. Tom¬ my comes over without a dull mo¬ ment.” The other members of the cast, Bernard (John Bareman), Mrs. Wil¬ son (Margaret Bixenman) and Judge Wilson (Forrest Everett), did their part to make the play an outstand¬ ing success. The cast was great, ticket sales were good, and everyone did his share. “Tommy” was the crowning success of the year.

Junior Class Play On March 10th, 1932, the junior class under the direction of Miss Margaret P. Bollenbach, dramatic teacher, presented a comedy in three acts, “It Never Rains” by Aurania Rouverol. It was a play of California and youth. Its principal romance con¬ cerns Jimmy Rogers, played by Bert Ellis, and Dorothy Donovan, played by Marguerite Boye, one entering second year at the University, and the other a freshie worried for fear she wouldn’t be bid by the sorority she wanted to join. The sterner background of drama for these youngsters was furnished by the mothers and fathers of Jimmy and Dorothy. The mothers, Mabel Rog¬ ers, played by Mary Anna Place, and Clara Donovan, played by Mar¬ tha Parry, had been chums years before. The Donovns came to Cal¬ ifornia and looked up the Rogers. Bluff entered their lives and all but wreck them; and there was the case of the young, foolish and worried Norleen Sears, played by Virginia Benjamin, a neighbor girl, to give moments of near-tragedy. To make matters worse, Mrs. Rog¬ er’s old sweetheart, Dane Lawson, played by Walter Weiland, came to make a friendly call on Mabel. Then Mr. Rogers played by Dan Oram and Mr. Donovan played by Edward Henderlong, got into quite a mis¬ understanding about the real estate business. Savannah, the maid, played by Sarah Fisher, added many an ex¬ citing moment to the story. The parts of three college girls Mary, Margret and Gale were played by Janis Holley, Janet Holley, and Wilma Adank respectively. The as¬ sistant cheer leaders were Robert Selkow and Joe Horn. Others who helped in making the play a complete success were Ver¬ non Rosenthal and John Bareman, sound effects; Miss Green and Miss Knudson, makeup; Mr. Atkins, bus¬ iness manager and Miss Taggart and Mrs. Kalen, tickets. Music was furn¬ ished by the high school orchestra. Junior Class History (Continued from Page 11) other dance and on March 10th, they presented “It Never Rains” a three act comedy, which was a huge suc¬ cess. After a few hardships in the forms of mid-year exams, the “Class of ’33’ crow disbanded with the promise of a bigger and better voyage for their last year on the “Sea of Education.” Nurse: “Sir, the stork has just brought you a new son.” Mr. Poe: “Great! But don’t tell my wife—I want to surprise her.” Sometime last week Arthur Gibbs dropped around and meekly asked that we keep his name out of this “Inklings” edition. Now, in the past, the school publication has always been known to be very obliging; and as a special courtesy to Arthur Gibbs we will not mention his name in this paper. 16 CROWN POINT INKLINGS C. P. H. S. Debate At the beginning of the school year there was a large group of stu¬ dents looking hopefully forward to a successful debate season. On December 5th, the debate squad went to Purdue University to attend a conferenc e for debaters of the various schools in Indiana. By this time the number of members on the squad began to dwindle until there were no boys left and the squad was made up wholly of freshman and senior girls. The members of the two teams spent much time preparing speeches which were to go over big, but for some reason they just didn’t seem to be what was wanted by the judges and they lost every debate in which they took part. However, all the debaters feel that they have gained something in the way of ex¬ perience in public speaking and they take this means of thanking the coach, Mr. Jones, for the helpful instructions which he gave them. They feel that “It is not whether you win or lose, but how the game is played”, that counts. The teams were made up as fol¬ lows: Affirmative, first speaker, Genevieve Burton; second speaker, Joyce Frame; third speaker and cap¬ tain, Adah Letz. Negative, first speak¬ er, Francis Kemp; second speaker, Margaret Arnold; third speaker and captain, Florence Helrich. Aside from the regular teams there was a group of reserves who were ready to take part in any contest if they happened to be called upon. These members were Irene Golden, Eliza¬ beth Taylor, DeEette Tilton and Lloyd Aiken. The contests were scheduled as follows: January 28th, Crown Point vs. Hammond; February 8th, Crown Point negative vs. Rensselaer affir¬ mative; February 9, Crown Point affirmative vs. Rensselaer negative; February 15th, Crown Point vs. Washington of East Chicago. Later in the season there was a contest held in the school to pick out the best speaker to represent our school in the State Discussion League. Joyce was given this honor and went to East Chicago where she took second place in the county contest, winning over last year’s champion, so the debate season was not wholly unsuccessful. Indications point to more success¬ ful debate seasons in the years to come as the freshmen have already gotten a good start.

YOU CAN NEVER TELL You can never tell when you sent a word— Like an arrow shot from a bow By an archer blind—be it cruel or kind, Just where it will chance to go. It may pierce the breast of your dearest friend. Tipped with its poison or balm; To a stranger’s heart in life’s great mart, It may carry its pain or its calm. You can never tell when you do an act, Just what the result will be; But with every deed you are sowing a seed, Though its harvest you may not see. Each kindly act is an acorn dropped In God’s productive soil; Though you may not know, yet the tree shall grow, And shelter the brows that toil. You can never tell what your thoughts will do. In bringing you hate or love, For thoughts are things and their airy wings. Are swifter than carrier doves, They follow the law of the universe— Each thing must create its kind; And they speed o’er the track to bring you back Whatever went out from your mind. —Ella W. Wilcox. DREAMING Last night I had a lovely dream. The world was upside down; The teachers all were pupils; Each student wore a crown. Some were playing hopscotch; Mr. Jones was playing tag; And ofttimes one halted To light and smoke a fag. Pop Mahan crotched .doilies, Miss Taggart read Mother Goose; Behind the gym stood Poe A-drinking beetle-juice. Peg Bollenbach plucked wild daisies And made a dainty wreath; For little Howard Yunker, Who was an Indian Chief. Tracy Thomas was flirting, And gaily jumping rope. Miss Knudson had lost her lipstick And cried, and lost all hope. Mr. Busenburg in his high chair, Was cutting paper dolls. Songer and his scooter, Were riding down the halls. Miss Sowash was baking mud pies Her pretty dress was tom. Mrs. Kalen had dropped her lolly- pop, And she was all forlorn. Dale Atkins on his roller skates, Was waltzing round the gym. Mrs. Thomas and her music box. Was playing tunes for him. Mrs. Seamonson was whistling, “The Man From Way Down South” Anne was still and pouting, Sadness wreathed her pretty mouth. Pruitt was sailing his sailboat, His shirt was wet clear through. Mrs. Wolf was “It” at steps, Miss Green was playing, too. Then I awoke from my lovely dream, And I’ve tried to make you see, If teachers only played like this, How much cuter they would be. CROWN POINT INKLINGS The Pep Club started out with a bang with the election of a popular senior girl, Virginia Baker, as pres¬ ident. Other officers were Margaret Bixenman, vice president, and Doro¬ thy Diddie, secretary and treasurer. The first big thing the club did was to sell tickets and candy at the football games. And didn’t the girls look lovely in white dresses with their red bandanas. They made the assemblies more peppy and we’ll admit, the club cer¬ tainly can yell. Later there was a “weenie roast” at the Boy Scout cabin with Mrs. Kalen acting as sub-chaperon. Some of the boys seemed to think they belonged to the club. Sometime later the club decided to take in new members. A require¬ ment of the club is that the girls must be good sports. About eighteen new members were pledged. For the next week the new pledges changed in appearance. It was initiation of course, during which some of our old classmates seemingly went back to their childhood days. The initia¬ tion was ended by a pajama party in the gym, with Miss Sowash as our chaperon. The same night two songs were picked for our club composed by talented pledges. The following is a list of the en¬ tire club: Virginia Baker Jennie Egelski Joyce Frame Dorothy Hodges Charlotte Houk Irma Rettig Maxine Wood Ethel Fitch Wilma Frame Janet Holley Wilma Weber Adah Letz Dorothy Diddie Sarah Fisher Blanche Gault Helen Hoffman Martha Parry Florence Suhs Wilma Adank Janis Holley Janet Houk Clarmilta Kerr Frances Steiner Irene Jurs Vinginia Benjamin Margaret Bixenman Marguerite Boye Florence Helrich Mary Anna Place Winifred Farquhar. Evelyn Margison Lorraine Mounce The big event of the year, “date party”, was held December 21st. Nearly all the girls showed up with their boy friends. There were also a number of the alumnae present. The club gave a Leap Year party April 30th. As for the club next year, how can they do without: Virginia Baker presiding? Dorothy Diddie trying to get our money for dues? Adah Letz with her managing ability? Margaret Bixenman with her pep? Irma Rettig’s quietness? Frances Steiner’s willingness to help? Lorraine Mounce with her gift of writing? Irene Jurs’ helpful suggestions? Jennie Egelski’s pep and yell¬ leading ability? Joyce Frame’s suggestions? Blanche and Florence coming in late? Charlotte Houk with her good humor? Florence Helrich hating to be on a committee? Late in the spring the Pepinellas took in new members consisting of sophomores and juniors. They are the following: Marcella Collins Isabel Horst Ann Johnson Katherine Kindberg Virginia Lane Martha Peterson Dorothea Rushton Elsie Sulista Helen Sutton Wilma Stuart. .. Did you notice the colored glasses? Maybe they were afraid of freckles. Perhaps you wondered if that new costume jewelry was here to stay or if it was only to be worn in a pinch. CROWN POINT INKLINGS We believe that there is no use in telling how the athletes performed in contests this year, nor telling what good players they were, but in letting the people, who saw them perform, judge for themselves how manly and skillful they were in their respective sports. For this reason we will give only the names of the players and the scores of the games. You have seen for yourselves how the teams never quit fighting nor trying. The real students in the school appreciate the work of the boys and coaches. In years to come we hope that all the boys who participated in sports in Crown Point High school will have fond memories of the littlte things that have happened in school, and on the athletic fields, and will have learned the lesson of good sportsmanship. The outgoing Seniors wish Crown Point athletics the best of luck in the seasons to come. FOOTBALL TRACK BASKET BALL C. P. 7 LaPorte 13 C. P. 79 Morrocco 0 C. P. 2 Valparaiso 0 C.

It is with pleasure that we present here¬ with his prize winning essey; to-wit: “Seniors are funny things. They walk around skool like they owned it. when in reality us freshmen does. When they speek to one of them they look the other way and pre¬ tend they didn’t see you. A certain sophmore said she thot they were awful stuck up because every time they see a sophmo e they will not talk to them but act like they were inferior to them, but they know that they are not so good as they think they are. They agree with us that they are not so good as they think they are. Sum peoples are said to have said that the seniors are freshmen with four years of experience but don’t let them fool you, we wouldn’t be disgraced by them. If they don’t stop purty soon, us freshmen wil rebel and drive them out of the cumpany, that’s what we will do. If we do that and then beat up on the juniors and sophmores then we can act like the seniors do now. Wouldn’t that be swell. Really i do not think they should be allowed to carry on in this man¬ ner. I think sumthing should be done about it, don’t you? Maybe we can apeel our case to the president of the cumpany and have him give us a square deele.” Walter!

CROWN POINT INKLINGS 21 DIARY OF DUSTIE RHODES Page 00009 In my journeying across the United States I came upon the state of Indiana. I had ridden from St. Louis in a box car with several hoboes or as they were pleased to call themselves, “Gentlemen of For¬ tune”. I did not care to acquaint myself with such unknown charac¬ ters as I believe boys can rise to the top of the ladder of success only by desirable friends. There was one in particular that was in¬ clined to be “pally” with me. He probably was celever enough to know that I was no ordinary gen¬ tleman of fortune but that I was traveling in order to enlarge my knowledge on the wonders of the country. I noticed that he loked at a paper frequently and the would either double up with laughter or else turn over and bury his head : «i the straw. I asked him for this pa¬ per and lo and behold if it wasn’t a copy of the Crown Point Inklings. I decided then and there to point my dogs in the direction of Crown Point, Indiana. I jumped off the car at a likely spot and after picking up a few vittles that I found in stores, I inquired of a flat-foot just where I was. He looked me up and down and turned his back. I helps myself to a pair of gloves he had in his pocket and ' proceeded to another corner. Here I was told I was in Gary, fifteen miles from Crown Point. I began my walk to Crown Point. For the first few miles I tried to thumb a ride. The cars mere¬ ly honked or the kids would yell at me. I saw then that I would have to make my way to Crown Point by another and more crafty method. I removed my arm from my coat sleeve and limped and soon a car stopped and asked me if I would like a ride. I refused as it was only a Ford and I was afraid some of my pals would see me in a Ford. The next vehicle I refused as it was only a Chevrolet but the next one I finally agreed to ride in. After arriving in Crown Point I “slicked” myself up a bit. I put on a false moustache I had with me. As a dude I made a nice looking man. Then I put on my spats. I strolled down Court street till at last my lamps were able to see, rising above the tree tops like a majestic sentry, a flag pole. The high school was a red brick building trimmed in white, surround¬ ed by well-kept lawns. Outside of a few cracked window panes it was in good shape. I knew in one glance that some of my pals from Cicero could get in so fast you’d think there were elevators. I excited many curious and not a few admiring glances as I walked along. I judged that school would begin soon as a number of “flaming youths” hurried past me. The boys were garbed in bright colors, the girls mincing along on high heels. As I neared the front exit I nearly stopped in my tracks from amazement. Coming up the front walk was a young man. Now there is nothing odd about this but he had on his head an odd sky-piece. A brown beaver hat. I hadn’t seen one of these since I began traveling. I followed him up the steps. He was greeted at the top by a bevy of girls chorusing “Good morning, Mr. Atkins.” If you ask me, times certainly have changed. I think that the school would stand a good chance as a second tower of babble. Perched on the railing like birds on a fence were boys. Boys, all shapes, sizes and kinds. I don’t know who they all were but one who looked like an All-American toumed out to be Bill Horst, star of several sports. Along beside him was a blonde chap. This one sure was a wow, just as I read about in “Knights of the Ahlong Footstool”. He was Mr. Bertrom Ellis. I had no trouble finding this out as I just asked one girl and about three dozen women answered me. Another kid that attracted my attention was a little white-headed boy. He had his hair cut short, just like the boys who get a free room and bath from the county. He was “Rossie”. Now I come to a big part of the school. I asked a big boy what his name was. He grinned kind of funny, put his hand in his pocket, pulled it out agai, ruffled his hair, and finally answered me sheepishly, ‘Well, my mother named me Wilbur, but the brutes around here call me,” his voice faltered and his blue eyes filled with tears as he continued, “they call me Bull”. Well, I couldn’t say anything to the poor kid, know¬ ing how he felt; I patted his head and shambled on. I stopped in front of a Bulletin bared. Here was a list of names. I glanced down them find¬ ing names like Holley, Parry, Wise, Hanniford, Letz, Rettig and a “hull” bunch more. I reckoned I had better look up some of these. I told one boy I’d like to see the Holley girl. “Which one” sez he. “Well”, I says, “Your guess is as good as mine.” “Do you want ‘is’ or ‘et’?” I sez, “Never mind, son, just rest your head. I’ll get me another woman.” I watched the stairs until I saw a ravishing blonde. I straightens my tie and my moustache and walks over to her. “Pardon me, my lady”, (I use my best manners) “what is your moniker?” She backed away in terror, let out one wail and yelled, “Oh Clarence”, and rushed across the floor to a young gentleman who was coming to meet her. I hastily darted into a room. All I could hear was giggles. I looked around and found my¬ self in a sewing room. The only thing I could do was make the best of it. I straightened my tie and walked toward the entrancing blonde at the desk. She rose to meet me and came forward extending a slim hand. I quickly wiped off my own mitt on my coat tail and grasped her hand. I shook it fervidly and was so dum- founded when she called me Mr. Johnson and said that they were not expecting me until later but it was just fine because they would like to sew. I could just lay my hat and coat on the table there and could commence work on the machine. Well, I looked over the machine and loosened whatever I could and tried to talk knowingly about the car- burator and gas line. Nearly every time I spoke the kids just shrieked. Well, I wiped off everything, oiled it again and turned it around but couldn ' t find a crank on it so I tured the big wheel. There was a sharp snap and I couldn’t turn it either way. I picked up my satchel and turned to the teacher. I informed her that I would have to get more tools from my car. So saying “adios” I hastily left her. I looked 22 CROWN POINT INKLINGS at the big ticker what I picked up once and seeing as how it was too early to put on the feed-bag I hung my hat and coat on the rail and walked down. I went downstairs and into a room. Evidently this was “Bugalogy”. And another blonde teacher. He was making a poor job of trying to keep order and no wonder, every time he turns one way someone talked. He turns the other way some other guy blabs. I was goin’ to offer to help him but after that last fightl had I didn’t want to, so I walks out and across the floor. When I opened the door I heard the click click of type¬ writer. Now I always wanted to run one of them things, but I was afraid I might have to fix one. That would be hard on the key-clicker. I leaves the lower stairs and goes up again. While I was trying to decide where to go there was a short ringing of the bell. Then another. I made myself as little as I could against the wall and watched the horde of faces as they went by, all seemin’ to go to one room. I caught snatches of sweet girlish voices about “assembly, Pepinella, pep meeting”. “Save me a seat; sit with me”, and others. It just natcherally don’t take much to arouse my cur- osity so I steps up to the door and gives myself a look. A young lady standing beside me looked at me distastefully and moved away. I thought quickly “B. 0.”. Surely not as I always use Lifebuoy. I was almost going when I heard a mighty burst of yelling. On the stage was a large group of young girls yelling loudly. They were led by a peppy red-haired leader. Them gals sure could yell, boy-o-boy! After hollering they all sang and could they sing! Then began a long winding around the seats. They all had red hankies around their necks with “Pep” on them. Then a short stout man wearing glasses got on the stage. After clearing his throat in a very business-like manner, he said that they could all go to their fourth hour class. I again hugged the wall as the kids surged past. Such a riot of colors, even in hair. After the doors were closed, I again started walking. I was sorely tempted to try my hand at a couple, of the pad¬ locks on the steel cabinets but re¬ frained by hurriedly walking past. I saw by my watch that it was getting late, so I left the building. -As I wended my way to town I wondered if I would ever have such an interesting time again.

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT WOMEN By Tom Wise —And for those who can’t read— CROWN POINT INKLINGS 23 THE ALPHABET USED BY SOME land is not benefiting anyone. Isn’t - there some thing you can do.

F — Forgot the answer. G — Grandmother died. H — How did you expect us to work all of them? I — I was sick so I couldn’t get the lesson. J — Just lost my paper. K — Know it but can’t explain it. L — Let me think. M — My watch was slow. N — No, I don’t understand the lesson. O — Oh, I forgot to do that one. P — Please, may I hand it in to¬ morrow Q — Quit, ‘cause I was tired. R — Repeat it, I didn’t get it. S — Study hall was too noisy. T — Thought we would have assembly. U — Uusually prepared but I left my book in the bus. V — Very long assignment, didn’t have time. W — Will you sign my tardy slip? X — ’Xcuse it please. Y—You gave me “D” last six weeks and I worked harder too, this time. Z — Zero! Why I studied that. — Dale Atkins. A — It has to be simple so that the faculty can understand it. Q — Can you tell me some way to keep the women away from me? No matter where I go there is always a mob of feminine admirers after me. A — Honestly, Russ, with your hand¬ some face and beautiful voice, I think that your problem is too great for me. Q—As the Hi-Y is one of our Chris¬ tian organizations I should think they would have some very strict rules for the members. Have they? — Harry Steinman. A — They certainly have. Here they are: 1. At dinner, never put both feet on the table. 2. Never swipe more than three meals per person. 3. Absolutely no smoking at meetings as the fire risk is too great. 4. When swearing, do not be too noisey as noisey people are unde¬ sirable. 5. In all games, never hit the op¬ posing player. The referee might see you. TITBITS WHAT THIS SCHOOL NEEDS 1. More water in the second floor fountain. • 2. More football players like John Zuckows. 3. More admirers for Harold Meeker (girls). 4. Better cooperation. (Example: Clarence Klass and Virginia Baker). 5. More vacations for all of us. 6. An elevator. 7. No Juniors at all. Kick ‘em out. 8. Bigger and better seniors. 9. More ditch days for teachers. Start the day with a promise to do the very best you can, where you are, with what you have. Tackle the hard or unpleasant things first each day. The easy ones are easy. Smile until ten o’clock and the rest of the day will take care of itself. A wise old owl lived in an oak, The more he saw, the less he spoke The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can’t we be like that old bird? ASK ME ANOTHER Q. — Why isn’t the Senior “Ink¬ lings” more intellectual ? It seems to me that the humor is too obvious The ladder of success may be full of splinters, but the pricks are the hardest if you’re slidin’ down. Wise is that man and bround to grow, Who knows he knows a thing or so; But who is not afraid to show The many things he doesn’t know. The reason the voters are so pa¬ tien t with congress is because they don’t know what to do either. Pessimist: “Thankful! What have I got to be thankful for? I can’t pay my bills—”. Optimist: “Then, man alive, be thankful you’re not one of your creditors.” HUMOR “Why is it that every girl that goes riding in Bob Ross” auto al¬ ways has to walk home?” “Don’t be so dumb—his father owns a shoe store. Bill Fateh was rather shy. When he handed his lady friends a gift box of candy she threw her arms around him and kissed him. Bill took his hat and started for the door. “I’m sorry if I offended you,” Alicia said. “Oh, that’s alright,” re¬ plied Bill, “I’m going out for more candy.” Janis: “Why was John Bareman so tight-lipped this evening?” Martha: “He cleaned his teeth in the dark and used the glue by mis¬ take.” Bob: “I heard that Gandhi was in bed a few days—what was the trouble?” Mary: “His sheet didn’t come back from the laundry.” Visitor (at Prison): “So it was the desire to steal that brought you here?” No. 77777: “Naw, what’s a guy gonna hook around this joint?” “What makes you so uneasy to¬ night, Gene, is your conscience troubling you?” “No, Jai)et, it’s my winter under- Miss Sowash: “Danny, what is it you look at after you wash your face to see if it is clean” ? Dan Oram: “The towel.” 24 CROWN POINT INKLINGS Spring is here! Haven’t you no¬ ticed all the boys walking to and from school with their girls? Mar¬ guerite will be very lonely without her Kenny next year; wonder who will do all the book-carrying then? Maybe Kenny will take a post-grad¬ uate course. And won’t Ginny Ben¬ jamin be lost without Iky? But there will be others around. How about the certain person you’ve had your eye on Ginny? Think you’re going to like aviation? Everyone is asking about the Holley-Ingersoll mixup, wondering if is settled yet and Whether Gene is now going with Janice or Janet or neither. It has been rumored that Gene gave Jinny McLaughlin a break a couple of times. He must be one of the few “Safety in Numbers” men that you hear so much about. Here’s a new one to think about: “Just what are the Juniors going to do when the Senior boys grad¬ uate?” The senior girls were entertained April 1st at the Crown Point Coun¬ try club by the Tri Kappas. Games were enjoyed by all, prizes being won by Margaret Arnold, Florence Suhs, Mildred Prochno, Kathryn Meyer and Alma Batterman. Jennie Egelski was a guest of Maxine Norton at the Delta Zeta House, in Bloomington, on the twentieth and twenty-first of April. What’s this we hear about our school geeting so modem? The teachers not getting their pay reg¬ ularly? The Pi Sigma Phi’s had a party S oci etjp for senior girls, April 21st at the Crown Point Country Club. An en¬ joyable evening of bunco and danc¬ ing was had by all who could at¬ tend. Members of the Pepinella club had an initiation party at the Boy Scout cabin. A swell time was had by all, and you would really be sur¬ prised at the talent of some of the new pledges, ask Isbel Horst or Miss Sowash. Can you remember way back when— Joyce Frame and Forrest Ever¬ ett were “that way” about each other ? Virgie Baker received apples from the little blonde from the Boston Store? Mr. Yunker threw the punch down the sink in the cooking room two years ago at our sophomore party because it had some foreign sub¬ stance in it. It couldn’t have been so bad because it took very little of the enamel off of the sink. Mac and Peg were subjected to no little teasing. Mr. Atkins had not yet entered Crown Point high, and was unheard of? Miss Blind taught English ? Jennie Egelski went with Ammon Aken? The school buses were snow bound so we got a vacation. John Bareman thought the sun rose and set in Doris Enterline? Eileen Nethery wore a Hi-Y pin from Valpo High? Ruth Taylor was in our class and went with Bob Sherman? Elinore Deering and Bob Bolt were members of our class? Adah Letz thought Forrest Ev¬ erett ranked first. Helen Burroughs couldn’t decide between Ed Heiderlong and Hershy? Lorraine Munce hadn’t met Ray Reeder? Vem Geisen and Ruth Taylor vis¬ ited the mausoleum at night. Mildred Prochno hadn’t thought getting towels, pillow cases, silver and other things that go in a hope chest ready? Ralph Jones was our “dear alge¬ bra teacher”? John Zukows was our foot-ball hero? Ed Henderlong brought candy to Irma Rettig? Florence Helrich sent such torrid letters to the kids back here about the sailors in California? Lois Wattenbarger was our “little doll face” member? Gertrude Eberspecher hadn’t thought of wearing diamond rings? Margaret Anold wasn’t planning on going “domestic” in June? Bill Horst wore knee pants? Earl Bunckley looked like Lincoln? Art Gibbs had a “crush” on Max¬ ine Norton? (has he gotten over it?) Billy Osborne made all the hearts of the “weaker sex” go flop? Kathryn Meyers didn’t know Merle Diddie? Margaret Bixenman had long hair and thought that Harold Heisterberg was just the thing along the male Freshman News The freshman officers are: presi¬ dent, Anthony Horst, vice president, Virginia McLaughlin, secretary, Jane Kinberg, treasuretr, Edward Kram- mer. The following teachers were the class sponsors for this year. Miss Bollenbach, Miss Green, Mr. Pruitt, and Mrs. Poe. The Freshman class boasts of having three of its boys on the second team in basketball. They are Tony Horst, Eddie Krammer and Harry Collins. Good work boys, keep it up. A number of the boys are out for track. This year there was a health debate in which the classes of the school were entered. In the finals the Freshman squad, composed of Irene Golden, Genevieve Burton, and Carol Root debated against the sophomores. Miss Bollenbach coached the Fresh¬ man squad. The debate was given before the school and the decision was given in favor of the Freshmen. We are sorry to learn of Lloyde Aken’s withdrawal from school on account of illness. “You better keep your eyes open when you drive through this part of town.” .. “Why?” “If you shut them you may run into something.” CROWN POINT INKLINGS 25 HUMOR Mrs. Kalen: “Hello, Central? I want to talk to my husband. ” “Number, please ? ” Mrs. Kalen: “Say, do you think I’m a bigamist?” Mrs. Yunker: “So you thought that rotten fish was breathing its last when you bought it? Couldn’t you tell by the bad odor?” Mr. Yunker: “I thought the fish had halitosis.” Mrs. Songer: “The couple next door seem to be very devoted—he kisses her every time they meet. Why don’t you do that?” Mr. Songer: “I don’t know her well enough yet.” “They say that Dale is very fas¬ tidious about his appearance.” “Yeah, they even say he sleeps standing up to keep his pajamas from getting baggy at the knees.” Passer-by: “Here’s a quarter, poor man, it must be tough to be crip¬ pled.” Beggar: “Yes, but people used to steal money out of my cup when I was blind.” First Old Maid: “Ssh! I hear burg¬ lars.” Second one “Quick the gun!” First one: “No! the new silk bath¬ robe.” Esther Harper: “Mother, that man sitting next to me in the train kissed me when we were in the tunnel.” Mrs. Harper: “Good heavens, why didn’t you tell me at once?” Esther “I didn’t know there were no more tunnels.” Loffene Ellis: “Bob always seeks to protect the morals of others.” Bertha K.: “What’s on your mind Lorene: “Whenever he spends the evening with me in the parlor he hangs his hat over the keyhole so no one will be tempted to look through it.” “Now,” said the hypnotist to the audience, “I shall make this boy forget everything.” “Hold on”, yelled Jimmy in the back row, “he owes me $10.00.” Handy: “You know I have the fastest car going.” Tuffy: “Yes, and the slowest coming back.” Viola H.: “I’m very sorry that I couldn’t see you when you called, but I was having my hair washed.” Warren Wegener: “Yes, and those laundries are so slow about return¬ ing things, too.” Eddie Kramer: “Napoleon said. ‘Never say can’t’.” Tony Horst. “I wonder if he ever tried to strike a match on a cake of soap.” Vernon H.: “Say, is your dog clever” ?
