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.”
