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.?

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?

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

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.
