CROWN POINT INKLINGS 19 Our BOOSTER Club as Oke Stimson, who thought he knew how to bowl them over; Doro¬ thea Rushton as Tom’s Aunt Caro¬ line, who found the Dean quite a sociable chap; Julian Moran as Anthony Arsdale (Tom’s father), who was satisfied he could pick a suitable wife for Tom; Janis Holley as Sylvia, Tom’s childhood sweet¬ heart and the girl Tom’s father approved of; Walter Weiland as the Dean; Virginia Benjamin as Peach¬ es Carter, otherwise known as Oke Stimson’s ball and chain; Elsie Sul- ista as Asma, the colored wash lady, who created a laugh at every ap¬ pearance; Wilma Frame as Birdie LaVerne, a movie aspirant; Helen Winkler as Babs Sanford, who de¬ cided Tom was “the” man for her; Ralph Marlatt as Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd, the college poet, one of those, ‘there’s one in every college’ type. 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!

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.

The Cavemen have always had top-notch football clubs, but for three full quarters they were forced to trail the Hub City team 6-0. Of all the season ' s openers, Crown Point’s feat in holding Mishawaka to a 7-6 victory ranks the best. Times Hammond Tech defeats Crown Point High School. Playing a | desperate game to overcome an 8-0 lead, Crown Point High School football players, after a 50 yard march down the field had their hopes of a victory over Hammond Tech blasted when the referee’s whistle sounded the end of a fast and exciting game with the visitors. Times Wallace triumphs over Crown Point High School. Eleven husky football warriors from the Gary Lew Wallace school triumphed over the Hub School aggregation by a score of 3-0. Henderlong’s punting toe was badly missed from the Crown Point line-up, Fifield who essayed to take the injured man’s place in the ounting role, failed to get the pig¬ skin away for any appreciable gains. The latter, however, starred with Madsen in the ground-gaining de¬ partment. A safety and a touch- ' down clinched the game for the Wallace Hornets. Times Crown Point High Wins From Valparaiso High by a score of 6-0. B-ith teams presenteu a splendid brand of the great game and spectators witnessed an exciting battle throughout.
