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.

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.

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.
