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.

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.

20 CROWN POINT INKLINGS STUPID SCRIBBLER SCRATCHES STORY ABOUT SENIORS Clifford West Walks Away From Field of Two Contestants To Take Honors Winning easily over a field of two contestants, Clifford West stands (or sits) as the “champeen” essay writer of the Freshman class. 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! You a senior and allow you own little brother to write such stuff as this? Clean him up! The Seniors won’t mind even if we are good-natured. THE PERFECT GIRL-FRIEND Hair . Helen Burroughs Eyes .
