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)

' 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)
