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.

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.

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)
