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 17 BASKETBALL Clarence Miller, Malcolm Stonex, Hardy Songer, Coach; Bill Horst, Edward Henderlong, Bert Ellis, Bill Patch, Dick Madsen, Dean Harper, Tom Wise, Dick Collins, John Bareman, Mgr. 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 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.
