EDWARD KRAMER To the memory of Edward Kramer we inscribe this tribute. Because of his love and loyalty to our school, his dependability and enthusiasm in its sports, his diligences in his search for knowledge, his kindness and justness in thought, words, and deeds, he held the high esteem of our student body. It may be truthfully said of him that “in short measures life may per¬ fect be”.

Senior Class History On September 2, 1929, a group of students, kinda’ green but awfully confident, decided to go to the planet called High School for a certain length of time each year for four years. The end and aim was to be the city of Graduation, which could be attained only by a long and tedious journey. When everybody w as rounded up and noses were counted it was dis¬ covered that 110 students wanted to go on this trip. With some hesi¬ tation on the part of those who thought they might get homesick, the gang bade goodbye to Earth, got into the big rocket, and were off with a “whiz” and a “bang”; and. almost before they knew it, they had landed on the planet, High School. Fourteen members of this large group had come to this planet a half-year before as a sort of pre¬ liminary to the real sojourn. It was decided that if a few of those who had been on the planet before were given charge of the whole class, the class as a whole would profit by it; so Dorothy Hodges was chosen as chief advisor, George Claussen was appointed to help her when she needed it, and Evelyn Margison was given the job of look¬ ing after the financial side of that year’s visit and of recording any¬ thing that was done that would look good as history. The Freshmen, as they were call¬ ed, were getting used to living on the planet and were settling down to work with a real vim and vigor when they received word from the other sojourners that a Hallowe’en Carnival was to be given and that a Kin? and Queen of the planet were to be chosen. Their own Evelyn Margison was chosen to be Queen of High School for that evening. For the rest of that year the green Freshies, now not so green, devoted their time to study to make up for the time it took to get aca.uainted with conditions on the planet. The last of May the com¬ pany disbanded; and with many hopes and aspirations for the com¬ ing year, left for home. On September 7, 1930, the group again assembled; and it was dis¬ closed that some of the members were missing (probably they suf- CROWN POINT INKLINGS fered from too much homesickness on the first trip). There were a few new members, though, to take the place of those who were left behind. Each student took his place in the rocket, and away they went for another year on the planet, High School. Arriving there, they decided that Martha Parry should have the job of chiei advisor; so they gave it to her. Joe Horn was appointed h er assistant. This year it was Bob Sullivan’s turn to take charge of the financial and historical end of the visit. That year at the Hallowe’en Car¬ nival, that famous football player of the Sophomore Class, Dick Mad¬ sen, was made King of High School. The Sophomores decided that they would entertain the rest of the planet, so they gave a dance, just like those given down on Earth. It was attended by a large crowd. The rest of the year passed rather uneventfully for the Sophomores although there were a few mishaps; soon their time was up for that year, and it was time to go home. On September 6, 1931, when they were again assembled, it was no¬ ticed that there were only about 80 members (these trips were proving too strenuous for some). This time, when the class landed on the planet, Joe Horn was selected as the one who was to be the advisor; and Edward Henderlong was Joe’s assist¬ ant. Because there was going to be a lot of work and history making that year, the class decided to make two jobs out of one. Winifred Farquhar was the one who was given the job of writing up the history the class was making. Bert Ellis had the job that Bob Sullivan held the year before. That year at the Hallowe’en Carnival Winifred Farquhar ruled the planet for one evening. The Junior Class made a name for itself. It gave two dances in close succession, and shortly after¬ wards a play entitled “It Never Rains”. How well that represented High School! Everything was quiet for the Juniors for a time. Nothing to do but study. And then it was time to entertain the Seniors. There¬ fore, there was a lot of preparation made by the Juniors for the event; and the Seniors were given a ban- o.uet and prom. Then, of all things to come right after a banquet, came the final exams. Of course, after that every¬ body made plans to go home for a vacation from studying. When the students returned for the last year on the planet, they had several new members, just about enough to make up for those who had not come back with them. Upon arriving at the planet, the group settled down to business like the dignified Seniors they were and chose Edward Henderlong as their advisor during their last year at school. Ethel Fitch was appointed as his assistant. Elsie Sulista had the job of recording history, and Malcolm Stonex was to pay the bills. The Seniors had been planning to put a new king on the throne of the planet, but alas! there was no throne to be had. The classes had formed a democracy. The Booster Club was formed this year and one of the memoers of the Senior Class, Winifred Farquhar was chosen President. Early in the year Florence Under¬ wood was sent back to Earth for an operation. Emery had a terri¬ ble time of it. Nobody to talk to at noons “or nothin’.” Later. Louis Miller spent a long time on Earth. He leaned over too far to look earthward and slipped. When he landed, he broke his ankle. The Student Council was reor¬ ganized this year and two members of the Senior Class are in it, Wilma Adank. of the Senior Class is the president of it, and Ed. Henderlong is vice-president. The Seniors are all looking for¬ ward to Graduation and the festiv¬ ities that go with it. And after all that they will return to Earth for a permanent reunion with friend and folk. Mr. Atkins: Your grade’s very low in fact you hardly passed. Helen Winkler: Oh! I’m so glad Mr. Atkins: Why? Helen: I do so love a tight squeeze Haniford: I don’t like this photo. My hair is fuzzy. Photographer: You should have thought of that before you had it taken. Root: My girl is horticulturally inclined. She is a peach and the apple of my eye, so we make a fine pear. Bill: Yes, but when I saw you out together you acted like a couple of nuts to me. Mrs. Seamonson: If Columbus were alive today, wouldn’t he be looked upon as a remarkable man? Jim Stife: I’ll tell the world. He would be 500 years old. Mrs. Seamonson: What king was prominent in the French revolu¬ tion? Clifford West: Louis the cross¬ eyed. (Louis XI). He: How come you go steady with Esther? Bert: She’s different from the other girls. He: How’s that? Bert: She’s the only girl that’ll go with me. Sally Fisher: It took eight sit¬ tings. Miss Knudson: What are you having, your portrait painted? Sally: No, learning to skate. Russel Pratt: Darling, will you marry me? Dorothy Rush ton: Have you seen mother? Russel Pratt: Yes-but I still love you. “Well, what do you think of my game?” said the enthusiastic golfer to his girl friend. “Oh it’s all right”, replied the little darling, — “but I still prefer golf.” 10 CROWN POINT INKLINGS Senior Class Prophecy Something that was fed to the seniors at the Junior-Senior Ban¬ quet in the year of Our Lord, 1933, sent the entire class (barring none) to the bug-house a week later. Since my bugginess has not affected my writing, I will tell you how our class looks before me as I see them assembled in the bull-pen at Lo- gansport in 1943. You see we could not be separated. As I see them at present, they are playing leap-frog, the favorite game of the intellectual nit-wits. The fame of the leap frogers has reached the entire na¬ tion. We will now enlighten you as to the individual pastimes of the in¬ mates. We are sorry to relate that poor demented Oram is seeking material for his scum column, fell from his upper berth and sprained his eyebrow on the pavement. His condition is very critical as he cannot peek through keyholes. We find the Doty sisters and Carolyn Schmidt jumping the rope. George Claussen, the shiek of the outfit, is over there with a group of girls, among whom are Florence Ziese, Florence Underwood, and Florence Bisselberg. As you see he goes in for Florences. What is this, An Apache Dance? Oh no, it’s only Sally Fisher and Kenny Haniford. Mildred Nielsen and Mildred Burge are having hysterics because the first four letters of their first names are MILD and the last three are RED. Our athletic Bill Fateh has taken a fancy to ballet dancing, if you please, and is now doing the dance of the seven veils under the WE’D LIKE TO KNOW Who made you, fairest of the fair? Who put the sunlight in your hair? Who made those lips? That per¬ fect nose? That skin that shames the budding rose? admiring scrutiny of Joe Horn and Bob Selkow, also ballet enthusiasts. We must not neglect our symphony orchestra with the illustrous Clem¬ ent Gustke as leader. Edna Wieler we find has two pie tins for cymbals and Maxine Woods is blowing the jug. Beulah Lisius pounds two tin cups for kettle drums. Lucille and Lois Hershman, we find, are play¬ ing the xylophone on the bars of their cell. Alice Luke shows great prospect as a mouth harpist (wind jammer). Last but not least we find Helen Kress playing the comb. Dean Harper is frantically trying to open his penny bank; he hasn’t the key. Surely he hasn’t lost it? The guards have a terrible time keeping Eddie Henderlong from breaking through the walls. He keeps murmuring, “Take me to Kankakee; Take me to Kankakee”. Lela Lottes, the shy little girl of the good old days, is now a vamp. Amon g her victims are Ralph Mar- lott, Harold Bremer, and Verny Geisen. Arthur Hopp rides frant¬ ically around on his tricycle with Margaret Dovichi, Ethel Fitch, and Wilma Frame in the rumble seat. Martha Parry and Dick Collins are peeling onions. Kathryn Kindberg, Helen Hoffman, and Stella Liss arc working on a jigsaw puzzle. Bert Ellis thinks he is Mark Antony and goes around shouting, “Ladies and Gentlemen”, occasionally choking on his false teeth. Billie Gilbey is shouting across the room to Wilma Adank to get her French. They are just putting poor Virginia Holloway in a straight jacket. Winifred Farquhar is boosting Emery Adams, Dorothy Hodges, and Ethel Murray to be more enthusiastic in the leap frog game. Virginia Benjamin is so bashful that she has taken to biting her finger nails. Janis Holley is watching for the street car. Vernon Patz, Walter Wieland, and Elsie Sulista, from dear old dra¬ matics class, are doing an act for Ina Thompson, Wilma Weber, and Catherine Zubriggen, who are ali watching with big round eyes and open mouths. Mary Anna Place is redecorating the cells. Dorothea Rushton thinks she is an Egyptian Princess and borrows everyone’s jewelry. Malcolm Stonex is taking apart a motorcycle with Eugene Patterson helping him. Bob Volk is telling Martha Peterson about the time he blew a smoke ring on a girls finger and never did get it off. Helen Winkler and Louis Miller are playing marbles. Julian Moran is beating his head against the bars ' in this little Indiana town. Clar- milta Kerr, Isabelle Horst, and Janet Houk are in solitary confine¬ ment. Joe Valdman is giving a lec¬ ture on Cholera Morbus (to which no one is listening). Clarence Miller is showing Helen Sutton how to tap dance. Who do we have over there? Evelyn Margison and Dick Madsen. What are they doing? Doctor says, “They haven’t chang¬ ed since High School Days.” Marian Ross walked out on us. The reason for the unanswered questions is 1 can think of nothing else to say. The writers of this column had a brain wave and are now in a padded cell. Adios. Who made those eyes of blue? And lassie, Who designed that 4issom chassis? Surely not the one who hung Between those lips that babbling tongue? —G. A.

We began our first year by elect¬ ing Bill Fifield as president, Harold Taylor as vice-president, and Mal¬ colm Clark as secretary and treas¬ urer. At the time of the carnival Er¬ nest Milburn and Mildred Gerlach were the freshman King and Queen elects. In the fall of 1931, we met again after a three month’s vacation. This year Douglas Dickey was selected to lead the Sophomore Cl ass of 1931-32 through nine stren¬ uous months of school. Many of our boys displayed splen¬ did possibilities in athletics. Bill Fifield saw action with the varsity squad and made a very fine show¬ ing. Doug Dickey and Jimmy Kubal helped make up the reserve strength. In basketball Doug Dickey, Clarence Wachter, John Louis, Delbert Fisher, and Malcolm Clark held berths on the second team. With the closing of the basketball season, came the operetta. The sophomores were represented by Ginnie Lane, who played the part of the leading lady. She was abso¬ lutely gorgeous! Her delightful singing voice and remarkable dra¬ matic ability were highly commend¬ able. Eddie Glover and Benny Pressler were given speaking parts, and they carried them very well. By this time, the president had become quite nervous. The treas¬ ury was much like Mother Hub¬ bard’s cupboard. A dance was pre¬ scribed by Dr. Dickey and his col¬ leagues. On April 16, 1932, the sophomore class sponsored one of the biggest social successes of the year. (If not the biggest financial¬ ly). The gym was beautifully dec¬ orated in blue and gold, and the music was furnished by “Doc and his Doctors.” Four of our girls were pledged into the Pepinella Club. This was quite a distinction for the under¬ classmen. Two of our classmates that show¬ ed outstanding abilities were Ginnie Lane and Benny Pressler. Ginnie wrote an essay on George Washing¬ ton and won a medal from the D. A. R. Benny won first place in the National Orchestra Contest in Detroit. Good work, mates. 1933—The depression is still here; so is the junior class of 1933. The 14 CROWN POINT INKLINGS new deal — John Louis, president; Virginia Lane, vice-president; Dor¬ othy Volk, secretary and treasurer. The juniors were well represented on the football squad this year. Bill Fifield, Doug Dickey, Jimmy Kubal, and Dan Andernacht were all regular performers with the varsity. Although Ed Glover, “Plugger” Place, John Louis, and Bud Parry didn’t see much action, they all made fine showings. In basketball Doug Dickey, John Louis, and Jimmy Kubal were prominent players of the reserve squad. The junior boys weren’t so successful in being awarded with berths on the varsity and reserve squads; but when the class tourney came around the boys were right on the spot. They drew the seniors for the first game and recorded a 16 to 14 victory. ' They met the sophomores in the final game and won by a nine point margin. Be- CUPID REMEMBERS WAY BACK WHEN’—DO YOU?

On November 15, the junior class presented the three-act comedy “Pigs”. The play was well attend¬ ed and was a complete success. The play centered around Thomas At¬ kins. Sr., a none too successful lawyer, played by Edward Glover. Tommy Atkins, Jr., played by John Louis, solves the problem of pay¬ ing for his father’s house by black¬ mailing a girl, Lenore Hastings, played by Virginia Lane. Tommy Jr. invests his money in pigs and finally secures the sufficient funds for his father. Others in the cast were Ellen Atkins, played by Ann Johnson; Hecter Spencer, Thomas Atkins, Sr’s brother-in-law, played by Bernard Pressler; Grandma Spencer played by Margaret Baum; Spencer Atkins, eldest son of Thomas Atkins, Sr., played by Doug¬ las Dickey; Mildred Cushing, Jun- Dorothy Hodges stepped ‘out’ with Red R.?

Kathryn Kindberg ‘kept’ looking for Forrest Everett? ior’s unrecognized fiancee, played by Mary Hargrove; Smith Hastings, Leonore’s father, played by William Fifield; and Dr. Springer, a veter¬ inary, played by Jack Fuerst. They presented the play in a splendid manner, and their acting was well received. Much credit was added to the success of the play due to the tireless efforts of Miss Bollen- bach. On April 22, the juniors held their second dance of the year, the first being after Crown Point defeated Valpo in football. Both dances were a complete success. Thus, as the commencement issue of the senior class goes to press, the juniors are trying to decide whether the banquet for the seniors will turn into a potluck or a weiner roast. Don’t worry, seniors, we promise something. Carry on ’34. Martha Peterson and Les Heist- erberg wrote ‘notes’ in bookkeep¬ ing? Edna Weiler had; just ‘found’ Clifford West?

It takes crust to get along in Crown Point High School-that’s y hy we’re so prominent. If you dont like the way I say it, ask Edith Adell Doray Bermidence Dorothy Burge, the president. Did you notice the good time everyone had October 23, 1932? (Our Thanksgiving Dance.) We not only cleared $15.54, but Fredie the Freshman, Jr. learned how to dance. Well, Sophies, some one has to lead the school. The juniors and seniors have “attempted,” but have met with little success. So “up with the sophomores.” Don’t take us wrong. This is only a prophecy, but if Bobbie Wilson, like in Wood- row, is the prophecier, well hot cha! Sophomores!!! A couple of our boys are pretty good at basket ball. In fact Collins is elegance itself—and Joe Wein¬ berg — how he slays ’em. Do you know? If I had a dog, I’d name him Joe. If Hoshaw could leave the girls alone, And Collins stayed at his length Maybe Warren Wagner wouldn’t be blowing For a chance to show his strength. For if Wilson weren’t so handsome And hadn’t so much if Horst might have a chance at amatuering And Oh well, what’s the dif’? If Brown didn’t fall for Ellis Maybe Burge would try at it Thus, Fronek would become jealous And Klarkiowski’d go on a diet. We wish that Root would graduate from the cradle So Kemp would open her eyes to us. But as long as she hangs on Root We may as well rope our esopha¬ gus. When the land of brains go perch¬ ing, Call on Kruger if you will Cause Kindberg’s probl’y searching For one over-grown pill Like the one sne s Deen with lately Although West is rather stately in this spill. CROWN POINT INKLINGS WARREN WAGNER’S LUCK His horse went dead and his mule went lame, And he’s lost six cows in a poker game; Then a hurricane came on a sum¬ mer day And blew the house where he lived away; And an earthquake came when that was gone And swallowed the land that the house stood on; Then the tax collector he came ’round And charged him up with a hole in the ground.

Miss Taggart: “What is the plural of man?” “Men”, answered Bobbie Wilson, “And the plural of child?” “Twins,” was the prompt reply. The saddest event of the year: How we regret the fact that boys like to go sporting with guns. This was the case which resulted in the death of Eddie Kramer, Thanksgiv¬ ing Day, Nov. 24, 1932. As Eddie was popular among his associates, his loss is keenly felt by the entire town as well as the school, and es¬ pecially the second team basket ball boys and girls in the operetta, SINCE YESTERDAY In a pale gray sky last night, The moon was a crescent of gold.

Freshman Notes This year about 80 freshman en¬ rolled in C. P. H. S. One of the first things they did was to elect their class officers, who are as fol¬ lows: President, Lorraine Margison, Vice-President, Thelma Pettit; Sec¬ retary, Viola Heick; Treasurer, Bernard Wallace. The Student Council Committee representatives are: Lorraine Margison and Crow¬ ell Knight. The Booster Club Com¬ mittee representatives are Marion Anderson and Franklin Berg. The Class Sponsors are: Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Allman, Mr. Brady, and Mr. Jonas. After much discussion the class chose the colors of purple and white and the motto: “To the Stars through Difficulties.” A number of freshman boys were out for the football team. Although none of them played in any games, they showed good prospects for future years. We also had a fresh¬ man basketball team which suc¬ ceeded in beating the senior team. The senior girls gave the fresh¬ man girls a “Big Sister” party at which everyone enjoyed herself very much. There were several freshman boys and girls in the operetta, “Miss Cherry Blossom.” On February 10, after the Hobart game, we gave a dance in the club room of the Legion Building. The club room was decorated in purple and white paper, with many bal¬ loons hanging from the ceiling. Although the balloons didn’t last long, they were very pretty. Every one decided that the dance was a big success. The class was very sorry to learn of the withdrawal from school of Mary Alice Benjamin because of illness and of Russell Kramer be¬ cause of his moving to Gary. We all wonder what the Fresh¬ man boys will do next year after the senior girls are gone; but of course, there will be that sophomore girl. 18 CROWN POINT INKLINGS CAST OF “IT NEVER RAINS” Front Row.

Dan Oram, Sarah Fisher. Miss Bollenbach, Director; Joe Horn, Robert Selkow. Walter Weiland. Senior Class Plays On March 10th, 1932, the junior class under the direction of Miss Margaret P. Bollenbach, dramatic teacher, presented a comedy in three acts. “It Nbvfer 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 Margarete 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 Donovans came to Cal- The assistant 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, business manager and Miss Taggart and Mrs. Kalen, tickets. Music was furnished by the high school orchestra. Playing before a packed house, in spite of inclement weather, the Sen¬ ior class entertained with their play “Girl Shy”, Friday evening at the Community Building. The play was a three act comedy by Kather¬ ine Kavanaugh, directed by Miss Margaret Bollenbach. In the cast was Harold Hodges, taking the part of the girl shy col¬ lege boy, Tom Arsdale, Dan Oram ifornia and looked up the Rogers. Bluff entered their lives and all but wrecked them; and there was the case of the young, foolish and wor¬ ried Norlen Sears, played by Virgin¬ ia 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, Margaret and Gale were played by Janis Holley, Janet Hol¬ ley, and Wilma Adank respectively.

He was elected to take Syl¬ via out of circulation, and it really worked; and Kenneth Hanniford as Chuck Mayo, not a surgeon, but just a man about town, realizing he made a mistake when he gave Birdie LaVerne the air, he goes to any expense and humiliation to find her. The play takes place in the rooms of the two students, Tom and Oke, and represents only two days time, during the graduation period. The snappy action made it most enjoy¬ able. Another enjoyable part of the program was the musical selec¬ tions by the High School orchestra under the direction of W. J. Brittan. Mr. Brittan is to be commended on the good work he has done with the students in the musical field. The play under the general man¬ agership of Dale Atkins was also a financial success. Kenny Linton: I dream’t Peg and I were married last night. Hanniford: Were you happy? Kenny: Yes, when I woke up. Senior coming to school late. Mr. Mahan: Can’t you do any¬ thing on time? Doc Miller: I got a car once. Mr. Mahan: How so? Doc Miller: Nine months. That OUR up there means much, and you might say the entire “Booster spirit” is based on just that one three-letter word. It’s OUR school, OUR basketball team, OUR football team, and it is OUR attitude toward them that deter¬ mines their worth. “Cooperation” is a rather long word; and its meaning, to most people, is almost sure to be some¬ what vague and perhaps something to be applied in the business world. There is no one, however, that could possibly fail to understand the short and concise word “OUR”. It should mean, in this case, that a certain something belongs to a group of people who take a deep interest and feel a great pride in that something. If we feel that anything is com¬ pletely our own, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, we will begin to take an interest in it, to look for and encourage its good points, to try to eliminate its lesser qualities, and then to feel proud of the fin¬ ished product. After doing all this, it is natural that we should feel a part of our work and do everything possible to make it still better. The purpose of the Booster Club is to produce that feeling in everyone. If our school spirit is lacking, if our athletic teams are not so good as we would like them to be, if our school is “getting dead”,—whose fault is it except OURS? All these things are OUR property. What are we doing to make them that way? That’s just the trouble; we’re not doing anything, but still we expect to come out on top in everything. It’s the teacher’s fault, it’s the team’s fault, it’s So-and-So’s fault, never our own. Even at a basketball or football game the interest of one-fourth or more of the people present is not whole-heartedly with the team. We’re wondering what Mary has on, whether or not John will come to sit with us, and a dozen other petty subjects that do not concern the game. That probably is exaggerat¬ ed in most cases, but still it is too often true. Our Booster Club is trying its best to promote school spirit, es¬ pecially in athletics. It has done splendid work during its first year, and we know that its success will be even greater next year. The following ten points make up the Booster Club’s “Code of Sports¬ manship”: 1. I will consider my athletic op¬ ponents and the officials as my guests and will treat them as such 2. I will cheer both teams as they come on the field of play. 3. I will applaud good plays made by either team. 4. I will not applaud errors. 5. I will not “razz” the players of either team or anyone officially connected with the team. 6. I will consider the officials as the proper authorities to make de¬ cisions, and I will accept their de¬ cisions. 7. I will not attempt to disturb any player or officials. 8. I will not stir up any un¬ friendly rivalry among the fans or players. 9. I will consider it my privilege and duty to encourage players and authorities to live up to the spirit of the rules of the association gov¬ erning their athletic competition and to appreciate the privilege of membership. 10. I will consider it my privilege and duty to exemplify and promote “A Code of Sportsmanship for Fans” everywhere. If we have the right feeling of interest and pride in our team, we will obey these rules without any conscious effort. This organization has undertak¬ en a great responsibility; and time, hard work, initiative, and team¬ work are needed before its purpose is accomplished satisfactorily. In the meantime, let’s all get be¬ hind OUR Booster Club and push! CROWN POINT INKLINGS FOOT BALL Front Row—Dickey, Stonex, Fifield, Ellis, Harper, Haniford.

Star Lowell High defeated in grid bat¬ tle. Crown Point High School shows superiority in all depart¬ ments. With their goal never in danger from the battering of a bunch of huskies and hard playing football stars from Lowell, Crown Point High School won the season’s classic between the two teams last Friday afternoon at Brown’s Field by a score of 13-0. Time after time Lowell had its plays and formations smothered be¬ fore getting well started and sever¬ al costly fumbles resulted when the Crown Point forward and backfield men broke Lowell’s defense many times for substantial losses. Not all season has Crown Point put up such a splendid brand of team work in both offensive and defensive play. Although the weather was bitterly cold, with wind and snow detracting from ideal playing conditions, Crown Point players never had a fumble regis¬ tered against them. Crown Point did its scoring in the second and third quarters, and aft¬ erwards, confined itself to a purely defensive style of play to keep the ' visitors scoreless. Register Crown Point High School tri¬ umphs over Valparaiso. In a hotly contested battle, the, local high school eleven trimmed the Valparaiso aggregation 6-0 on their own field last Saturday aft¬ ernoon.

Register Crown Point trims Lowell 13-0. C. P. H. S. closes season on the grid¬ iron with smashing triumph. The Crown Point High School team and officials are being criticiz¬ ed for their game last Friday with Lowell. A football game was held at Brown’s Field and nobody told Lowell about it until they were trimmed to the tune of 13 to 0, at least that was the way the specta¬ tors took it for it was the old red and white that did all the playing. While the fans were thinking about Santa Claus, due to the snow and temperature, Lowell kicked off to Crown Point. Fateh the shifty halfback received the ball, and headed for the north goal. He was tackled after running about ten yards. On the second play Fifield took the ball three yards, on a line smash. Fateh carried the ball up to the line of scrimmage and was brought down. Henderlong drop¬ ped back to kick and sent the ball to Lowell on their forty yard line. .Friday’s game closed this sea¬ son for the Crown Point High School team, that has made a good showing, considering some of the strong teams that they have en¬ countered.

The Crown Point High School opened the 1932-33 basket ball sea¬ son on their own floor last Friday evening with a game with Hills¬ boro. Three practice nights were all that were available before tht game and the boys made a good showing under the tutelage of ‘Pop’ Mahan. Practically the same teams are available this year that played last year. In the opener, R. Collins, D. Harper, and Weinberg played for¬ ward positions, Stonex at center, and Fateh and Madsen were the guards. It was a nip and tuck scrap for both teams, but in the final tally Hillsboro held a three point lead 30 to 27. Saturday night the fans got an¬ other chance to see the teams in action again, when the local fives played the Hebron teams. In this encounter the boys had less opposi¬ tion and triumphed easily by a score of 32 to 13, for the varsity and 14 to 11 by the seconds. Register C. P. H. S. wins fitom Griffith. Overtime period necessary to decide victor. The Crown Point High School five showed their spirit and color Satur¬ day evening when they defeated the Griffith High School Team by a score of 24 to 23. It was a nip and tuck battle from the opening whis¬ tle to the final overtime signal. At the half, Griffith lead 9 to 8, both teams came back strong, and fast plays were made by both sides, but neither took a very great lead. At the end of the regular period the score was 22 to 22. Crown Point tipped in a basket from the field and Griffith took a free throw and the score remained that way until the end of the three minute over time period.

Bulletin The Bulletin reporter attended the Crown Point-Kankakee bas¬ ket ball game last night at Kan¬ kakee. and was very much impress¬ ed by the exhibition of “Pop” Ma¬ han’s crew. Team work by every member of the squad, along with their execu¬ tion of new plays and a good de¬ fense constituted a fine working machine. Although the Hub cag¬ ers lost by a score of 30-24, the boys of the local squad are to be com¬ plimented for their work as Tarn- men, the Kankakee Ace, scored 16 points in the first half, but was held to 4 points in the final period. This year one finds discipline on the local squad and “Pop” Mahan should be complimented for this. His coaching technique caused Tammen to be held to 4 points in the last half. TRACK Members of the track team: ‘Dean Harper William Fifield Harry Collins ‘John Hill ‘Eugene Patterson Donald Wood Frank Berg Erwin Purdy Seniors. The Crown Point Track Team placed second in the Annual Little Seven Meet held at Hobart this year In the Shot Put, Harper took first place, distance 42 feet. In the Pole Vault, Harper again took first place, height 10 feet, 9 inches. In the Mile Run, Harry Collins took third place. Time 5:10 S. It might be said that Harry has prom¬ ises of a great future in track a he is only a Sophomore and has been improving in every race on the mile. Keep it up, Harry! In the High Jump, John Hill tied for third place. Fifield also tied for third. In the 220-yard dash, Fifield took first place. Time 23.7. In the 440-yard dash, Fifield took second place. Bill should be a sure threat in track events next year. CROWN POINT INKLINGS 23 «=®£) The Pepinellas organized at the beginning of the year and elected their officers. Clarmilta Kerr was elected president; Ann Johnson, vice-president; and Wilma Weber, secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Sea- monson continued to be our advisor. We made a brief schedule of the year’s activities which consisted of a date dance, candy and ticket sales at football games, and initiation of new members at the end of the year, and a little Pep at assembly meet¬ ings when it was needed. Thus the Pepinellas organized for ’32 and ’33. We sold candy at the Lowell game and also conducted the assembly program before the game. Do you remember when the girls wore the boy’s sweaters and each girl gave a little speech in place of some play¬ er? Didn’t they talk,—or rather attempt to talk, just like the boys. The big affair on December twen¬ ty-eighth, the date dance, went off in great style even if our basketball heroes weren’t there. Of course they were missed, especially by some of the girls. Well, anyway, every¬ body seemed to enjoy himself, so the date dance was marked a huge success. Next in line was initiation and what a time! Maybe you noticed around school about twenty-one sophomores and juniors who couldn’t be distinguished from lun¬ atics. Those were pledges. They wore odd shoes, no belts, and make¬ up on half of their faces. Sad too, for a whole week they couldn’t talk to boys during school hours or have dates. That was pretty tough on some of the girls, but they survived that. One of our regular members reported that a certain grocer up town wanted to know if some of the high school girls were going or had gone crazy. He was rather worried because he saw several girls skat¬ ing to school, and they were carry¬ ing umbrellas on a sunny day. Just a little more evidence that Pepin- ella was taking in new members. Did you happen to notice— Elaine Taylor trying to convince Dean that she couldn’t talk to him? Esther Harper biting off her fin¬ gernails because she couldn’t talk to anyone? Pauline Pratt carrying that big drawing to school for Wilma Frame? Edith Burge using the sign language when talking to Pat. (No talking to boys, you know.) Frances Kemp kissing the gym floor? Bertha Keifer carrying books and more books for the girls? Virginia McLaughlin trying to keep from talking? These are but a few of the little comedies that we were treated to during the week. Then came the big night of final initiation. It was a never-to-be for¬ gotten night as far as the pledges were concerned. Just ask them if you don’t believe it. Tears seem¬ ed to be in order, too, but we had to excuse them because it really was some initiation. Anyway most of the pledges showed themselves to be real sports and so another initia¬ tion has ended and all of the little pledges are now full pledged Pepin¬ ellas. Following is a list of the new members: Vada Pinter Esther Harper Lorraine Selkow Loretta Schlueter Margaret Duve Elaine Taylor Bertha Kiefer Frances Kemp Mary Dixon Adalyn Kerr Mary Hargrove Dorothy Volk Edith Burge Margaret Jacobs Eileen Seramur Pauline Pratt Lorene Ellis Dorothea Selkow Jane Kindberg Anna Mae Thompson Virginia McLaughlin The majority of the club, until the last initiation, consisted of Senior girls who will soon be alumni. Next year the club will or¬ ganize with, but a few exceptions, an entirely new group of members. It is the wish of the Senior out¬ going members, that the club con¬ tinue to co-operate with the school as they have in the past and exhibit the real Pep and sportsmanship for which the club stands. Signed: SENIOR PEP MEMBERS 24 CROWN POINT I NKLINGS THE SCUM “Jinny” Benjamin has tough luck on her dales with Freddie the freahman. His father comes in Lamsons and drags him home be¬ fore he can escort his lady fair to the door. Do you remember the sigh Mary Anna used to heave when Bing came out on the floor in basketball? What can it be—you guess. Just who is Peg Boye’s choice? Is It Bill Fifield or Kenny Linton? She has been flitting from one throne to another—can it last? She may get stuck. Haniford, entering restaurant: Do you serve shrimps here? Waiter: Sure, sit right down; we serve everybody. Edith Burge: Do you think my mouth is pretty? Pat Patterson: Prettiest in the world, dear. I’d be willing to put mine against it anytime. Wilma Adank called up Dyer one night and informed Johnny that papa was polishing his trusy 45. Whoa! Look out, John! Mr. Malcom Parry—The latest answer to a maiden’s prayer. Eddie Glover dated Virginia Lane and Malcom took them in his own car—That is what I call a pal, E. Margison: I can’t accept your attentions, Dick. Dick Madsen: Well, the least you could do is to return them. How is the “Sweetest thing in the world” treating you, Dean, my boy? Love is a beautiful thing you told us once, but don’t let it get you down. Take the advice of the two old maestroes. It was once stated that Haniford was ready to drop his little ro¬ mance with the fair Miss Fisher— We are still waiting. It isn’t as easy as you say is it, Kenny? You should not be so free in your state¬ ments just because you took a little ride with one of the Holley twins. Just imagine all the gas consum¬ ed going to Chicago every week¬ end, in Geisen’s Buick. Vera surely is a lot of expense. Is she not, Vemie? I kissed her in the garden The moon was shining bright, She was a marble statue For I was drunk that nite. Who is the most jealous boy in school?—Bert Ellis. Is true love like that? Who is the man who can earn his stripes for lady slaying?—Plugger, how many do you wear? Louis Miller says the one good thing about a bum foot is that all the women have to come to him. What a man! Life is one fool thing after an¬ other Love is two fool things after each other. Imagine some people’s conceit, when the girls have a fault meeting, the boys clamor around demand¬ ing to know what they said about them, when they probably weren’t even mentioned. At last Stonex has come into his own. He is giving McLaughlin the same run around she has beeen giving him for years—Keep it up, Male, we’re glad to see it. In the parlor there were three Rube, a parlor lamp, and she Two is company, without a doubt, And so the parlor lamp went out. A bachelor is one who doesn’t make the same mistake once. It is rumored that a budding ro¬ mance is in progress betwen Janet Holley and Jack Fuerst. Rube Vo. ' k plus Griffith equal Lizzy. H ' ere is something we admire. The romance between D. Madsen and E. Margison. It has blossom¬ ed throughout their whole high school career. Good luck both of you. There are meters of accent And meters of tone But the best of all meters Is to meet her alone. Famous last words: 1. Elaine, you’re the one I adore, I only admire Garbo. 2. I’ll just pass out of the pic¬ ture whenever you say Sally. 3. Her mother named her Eliza¬ beth and I want you to call her that. 4. I’m Carol Root, just leave everything to me. Mart. Perry: You know Dick there are lots of couples who do not pet in parked cars? Dick Collins: Ya, the woods are full of them. Janis Holley was seen outside the Waldorf Astoria the other nite-__ -She has never been inside. Who is destined to be the belle of the school?-Our own Phillis Burroughs. What a break for the Freshmen and Sophomores. We understand that Billie Gilbey has been stepping out with a champion. Who can it be?—Why it is Primo Canero. What a girl! What was it the whole school was laughing about the other day? Oh, I recall. Janet Holley thought that Sex Education was a Co-ed | school. CROWN POINT INKLINGS 25 Perhaps In some distant day A traveler passing by this way Will read these epitaphs in the cemetery Of the good old class of ’33. A nice girl was Helen Sutton But she choked herself on a piece of mutton. Here lies old Bill Fateh He got “peppered” one night in a water-melon patch. Dean Harper got a fractured joint When he failed to go to Cedar Point Wilma Weber’s green mound is under the sky While she strums harp strings up on high. We next find Caroline Schmidt, just think, She fell in the cistern, kerplink. Next in line is Florence Underwood While on earth she did all she could. There’s Emery Adams not far away He and Florence were friends in their day. There’s the grave of Ethel Fitch She died scratching the seven-day itch. This marker says Beulah Lisius She passed out one nite when dry¬ ing dishes. Sad but true, here is Stella Liss To think the poor gal came to this! Dorothea Rushton was sure to get her man But he hit her on the head with a frying pan. Evelyn and Dick were a cute pair, Hope they’re enjoying themselves up there. Elsie Sulista, though so smart Met her finish by Cupid’s dart. Martha Peterson one day in Beecher Was at a game and fell off the bleacher. Here lies the Farquhar girl, Winnie She went on a diet and got too skinny. Ed Henderlong was a walking book of knowledge , So now he’s president of Heaven’s college. Joe Valdman started back to the old country But fell into the briny sea. The Hershman girls, Lois and Lucile Fell from their seat on the ferris wheel. Pat Patterson went the way of most men Till Judgment Day we won’t see him again. Ralph Marlatt too has joined the Harp Band Everyone up there thinks his music is grand. He was once a sailor, Walter Wei- land, He went on the sea but didn’t reach dry land. Peg Boye lived to an old age As an actress on the New York stage There is the tomb of Billie Gilbey She’s dead now and always will be. Bert Ellis was a hearty eater But now he’s lunching with St. Peter. Up there they teach mathematics And their teacher is Malcolm Stonex. While in Japan, Margaret Dovichi Drove in the ditch with her jinricki. Handy and Sally were happy, of course Until she went to Reno for a divorce If in Heaven there’s a Harem It belongs to Danny Oram. If the Holley girls had any luck One was “Nip” and the other “Tuck”. Tuffy Houk was always full of pep But on a tight rope she lost her step. This is the end of Ammon Aken He ate too much ham and bacon. Alice Luke is dead and gone She loved a man but not for long. Vernon and Lawrence, the Patz boys, Have tasted their fill of earthly joys. A healthy boy was Julian Moran But he got too much summer tan. A home-loving gal was Ethel Mur¬ ray But she brought on her death by too much worry. CROWN POINT INKLINGS Dorothy, Micky, and Harold, the Hodge three Died from drinking too much tea(?) Virginia Benjamin was never known to be dull Her fate was mourned by Freddy Krull. Ever good friends were Bob and Joe We guess they still are for all we know. Kathryne Kindberg lived a happy life And made some man a very good wife. Virginia Holloway who had a win¬ ning laugh Is now being mourned by her better half. Vernie Geisen is slumbering here, He celebrated too much the return of beer. Louis Miller and his brother Bing Were hit with eggs when they tried to sing. The fair Horst girl, better known as Isabel Tried to see her image in the bot¬ tom of a well. Helen Hoffman liked to work and play But exhausted herself on a sum¬ mer’s day. Things were O. K. for John Hill Till he met a gal named Diamond LU. This is the grave of Wilma Frame We see she got there just the same. Like Humpty Dumpty, Catherine Zurbriggen Fell and couldn’t be put together again. The end came for Arthur Hopp When he tried to beat up the traffic cop. Collins and Parry with their song and dance Became famous from Broadway way over to France. Florence Ziese’s adventures were told in a book Called “True Story Magazine,” just give a look. Edna Weiler while young was so tiny and sweet Don’t jump to conclusions, she died at six feet. Ina Thompson, a gorgeous blond Captivated the Frenchmen over the Pond. Leila Lottes made a good farmer’s wife Till she finished him with a butcher knife. Helen Winkler bold and strong Made boasts of prowess Loud and Long. Here is the grave of Ruben Volk He died laughing at his own joke. And not far away lies Maxine Wood She couldn’t behave the way she should. George Claussen had no use for a gal Until he met up with Frivolous Sal. We all remember Harold Bremer Last heard of he was a lion tamer. Everyone liked John Zukows Why he wouldn’t even hurt a mouse. Clement Gustke, Emery’s pal Like most men, married a gal. This marker says Clarmilta Kerr Running the Pepinella finished her. Mildred Nielsen, so ’tis said, Was the circus fat lady, over fed. Mildred Burge had a heart of gold, It’s a pity she lost it when she grew old. Marion Ross with all her boy friends Is still an old maid when her story ends. A famous poet was Helen Kress “Still water runs deep” we must confess. Florence Bisselberg, with her smile so sweet Made a fortune from her dancing feet. Here rests none other than Tillie Place She tried to beat a train but lost the race. A REMEDY FOR THAT CERTAIN ACHE If you don’t feel just right, If you can’t sleep at night, If you moan and you sigh, If your throat feels dry, If you don’t care to smoke, If your food makes you choke, If your heart doesn’t beat, If you’re getting cold feet, If your head is in a whirl, Why not marry the girl? Dear Reader: Be it ever so homely, there’s no face like your own. ANOTHER BIT OF FARM RELIEF Sears Roebuck has published a bigger and better catalogue. “Well Moran, my boy”, said his uncle, “my congratulations! I hear you gave one of the Holleys a break” “Rather”, replied Moran heart¬ ily. “But,” said his uncle, “how on earth do you tell them apart?” “Oh,” said Moran, “I don’t try.” SAD BUT TRUE: A kiss is something like gossip, It goes from mouth to mouth. The old maids went for a tramp in the woods. The tramp died. CLASSIFIED ADS. Wanted: A boy to deliver fish that can ride a bicycle. Wanted: A salesman to sell eggs not over forty years old. Wanted: Man with a wooden leg to mash potatoes. Wanted: Man to look after cow with voice suitable for choir sing¬ ing. Wanted: A room by a man with a bay window.

CROWN POINT INKLINGS 27 SASS-HIGH-ITY About 425 students trouped thru the portals of C. P. H. S. the fine day of September 6. Most of them were loathe to leave their summer activities; nevertheless they soon fell in and started things a-hum- ming. Right away “Pop” Mahan and Mr. Brady started the boys doing queer things. Every day they carried that little oval ball around the field. Mr. Brittan started his followers making all sorts of noises to rouse everyone. Mr. Pruitt got all the classes organized and even gave us a program one day himself. Quite clever, too. To say nothing of all the c lasses and studies we had to plunge into. The student council members were organized, consisting of the president from every class and one other member and soon started ‘laying down the law’. On September 26 the first of our outside assemblies began. Mr. Murdock, the magician, came to strike mystery and wonderment in¬ to the hearts of all the students. Also to give some people some new ideas. The Junior’s opened the dancing season on October 8, with a very successful dance. The Senior’s fol¬ lowed on October 21, with, of course a bigger and better one. Never mind, Juniors, you’ll get to write the Inkling’s next year. Blanche Noyer, the bright and vivacious aviatrix, came on October 10, to entertain us with stories of her experiences. On November 2, Mr. Frank Caveny, the artist and clay modeler, brought to the artis¬ tically minded folks some new in¬ spirations and ambitions. The Booster Club got organized early in the year, and elected Win¬ nie Farquhar as president, Evelyn Margison as vice-president, and Ethel Fitch as secretary and treas¬ urer. The president appointed Dick Collins as greeter for the visiting football teams and, later on, Kenny Haniford for the bas¬ ketball teams. Both boys capably filled their respective offices and furthered the right spirit for C. P. H. S. Pat Patterson, Earl Dillie, Frankie Berg, Pinkie Klinefelter, Don Wood, at different times thru- out the year took care of the flags around the square which informed the townspeople that the school was doing things. The Club gave a dance on November 11 In the Legion Building to celebrate our victory over Lowell. Jinnie McLaughlin and Earl Dillie to say nothing of the peppy Bobbie Ellis, led the cheering section thru- out the year. By the last Lowell game we really made a little noise. The junior’s crashed through with a very clever play on Novem¬ ber 15, with the help of our belov¬ ed dramatic instructor, Miss Bol- lenbach. It really was one of the best plays given in the last few years. Congratulations Juniors. On November 22, Mr. Russell Wright came to give us an interest¬ ing and educational address on the Economic Status of the Eastern Countries. He had traveled far and wide in the East and brought us many interesting tales. The sophomore began their so¬ cial career by giving a dance on November 23. Another very suc¬ cessful affair. Mrs. Thomas and her choruses gave an exceptionally fine operetta this year on December 14. It was called “Miss Cherry blossom”. Mar- garete Boye as Cherryblossom and Joe Horn as Jack Smith, had the leads. The rest of the cast included Julian Moran, as Kokemo, proprie¬ tor of a tea garden in Tokio, Benny Pressler as Togo, a Japanese poli¬ tician of high rank, Alice Luke as Jessica, Worthington’s niece, Ro¬ bert Selkow as Harry, Jack’s pal, Walter Weiland as Horace Worth¬ ington, a New York stock-broker entertaining a yachting party to Japan, Ed. Glover as Jas. Young, Worthington’s private secretary. The Pepinella’s as per-usual, gave their Christmas Dance during vacation. It was held in the Legion Club room this year on the 28th of December. The Pep girls have as their president this year, Clarmilta Kerr, vice-president, Ann Johnson, and secretary and treasurer, Wilma Weber. The McElroy Bros., old friends of ours, furnished a very peppy pep session on January 6. Everybody enjoys them and are looking for¬ ward to their return sometime in April. The Freshmen entertained very splendidly on February 10 with a balloon dance in the Club Room. A great affair for ones so young. The movies came to C. P. this year with an old familiar story, “The Hoosier Schoolmaster”. The second was an educational picture called the “Industrial Development of the Mississippi”. The Booster Club again got into action with one of the biggest dances of the season after Lowell beat us this time in a heart-break¬ ing game on February 24. Many Lowell students stayed for the dance and a good time was had by all. On March 29, the assembly was again held in the shrouds of mys¬ tery by Houghman, the magician. Mr. A. Chacho Leon came from Brazil to give us an illustrated lec¬ ture on coffee and how it grows, etc., on March 31, just before Miss Bollenbach and her cast for the “Ghost Story” took charge of the program. The next day, April 1, Miss Bol¬ lenbach and her cast went to East Chicago to participate in the Dra¬ matic Festival. Nine schools were entered. Five plays were present¬ ed in the afternoon and four in the evening. At six o’clock all the members of the casts and their visiting principals and superin¬ tendents sat down to a banquet at which the judge gave a short talk, among the other speakers. Mrs. Thomas is taking her chorus (Continued on Page 28) CROWN POINT INKLINGS HUMOR We editors may dig and toil Till our fingertips are sore, But some poor fish is sure to say “I’ve heard that joke before.” Vernon Geisen way back when he was making love to Wilma Adan k: Vern: Peaches, your radish lips made me cherry everytime I date you. Plum the depths of my heart, you will find you are the apple of my eye. Come, lettuce make a pear. Wilma: You prune, get this thru your bean. I cantaloupe with a lemon. I don’t care a fig for your dates. Banana oil does not stop your onion breath. If you propose to me again, I’ll squash your cocoa- nut. Now beet it! Traffic Cop: Use your noodle, lady! Use your noodle! Janis Holley: My goodness! where is it? I’ve pushed and pulled everything in the car. Holley: Haven’t I met you before at the Ritz, New Years Eve? Bill Fifield: So that was where I was. Mart: Why are you so sad? Dick: I was just thinking that this is the last day we can be to¬ gether—until tomorrow. SASS-HIGH-ITY (Continued from Page 27) to Gary on April 21, for the Music Festival. There is a dance scheduled for April 22, with more to come. The Senior Class Play is May 12.
