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

SONNET ON A SPRING DAY If I could paint in ink to last for aye If I could write in words that would not dim, I’d make a record of this fleeting day And tell of every joy, and tear, and whim. I’d take the picture of my world’s small rim And place its every color here in print Of clouds the lazy drifting and free swim; And of the sun its brilliant silver glint And through soft springtime, sum¬ mer’s subtle hint, The song of birds from journeys new returned, The sunshine on the green of moss and mint, A charred place where the old dead grass was burned, A tale of springtime that is never Robert Selkow bequeaths all his scholastic ambitions to “Jenny” Burton.

TO A LOCOMOTIVE When I hear the whistle of a loco¬ motive train My heart leaps up in answer And I feel a strange, wild pain; For the lure of all strange places I have ever known at all, I feel again when hearing a loco¬ motive call. Oh! Just to feel the thunder Of the rails beneath my tread, To fulfill my Gypsy longing That is like a cry for bread .... It‘s a longing that’s as strong as any great, primeval need And I feel it most when hearing that great screaming iron steed. —HELEN KRESS

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.

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?
