14 SCHOOL ACTIVITIES On November 2, the Pepinella’s opened the social activities of the school by sponsoring a dance for the Athletic Association after the Lowell game. The juniors followed by having one November 29. Since the Athletic Association needed funds, the school decided tc give a big Hallowe’en Carnival. The kids” and the merchants furnished the eats for the dinner. After the dinner, each class presented a little play. Anthony Horst and Dorathv Volk were crowned King and Queen of the carnival. Corn games, wheel of chance, cake walks, and dancing to the music of “Doc and His Doc¬ tors” made the evening a success from the beginning to the end. The cooperation of the merchants, as well as many towns people was cer¬ tainly appreciated by the school. On December 8, the sophomores had their first dance after the North Judson game. Everyone had a de¬ lightful time. On December 13, the juniors pre¬ sented their annual play. This year they gave a most entertaining and successful performance of 1 PROFESSOR PEPP under the dir¬ ection of Mrs. Seamonson. During Christmas vacation the Pepinella’s gave a date dance at the high school gym. “We would have had a better time if the lights weren’t so bright.” says Root. The seniors gave a dance on Jan¬ uary 19. On January 23, Mrs. Thomas gqvo a fine operetta called “Sunbonnet Girl”. Virginia Lane and Edward Glover had the leading parts. Two movies were shown at the Crown Point High School this year: first, the development of the Ford car; second, class work and social activities at the University of Chi¬ cago. The little freshmen “crashed” through with a successful dance on February 16, after the Knox game Miss Prohaski, from the art ex¬ hibit sponsored by the Woman’s Club, gave a very interesting talk about Indiana artists and the dif¬ ferent pictures on exhibit. CROWN POINT INKLINGS On February 23, Mr. Womble and his helper took moving pictures of | the school showing the classes and teachers, the band, the basketball team, principal and superintendent, and Miss Blackstone. On the fol¬ lowing Wednesday these pictures were shown in the Legion Building along with pictures taken seven years ago. The contrast between the two pictures was striking. The school is looking forward to the following graduation activities: Junior-Senior Banquet on May 19; Baccalaureate services on May 20; and Commencement on May 24. The speaker for the Commence¬ ment will be Mr. Sam Grathwell. All of these activities will be held at the Community Building. The Perfect Girl Friend (According to the King) Hair—Queen Eyes—Queen. Complexion—Queen. Ears—Queen Dimples—Kubal Nose—Queen Lips—Queen Figure—Queen Legs—Queen. Personality—Queen Line—V. McLaughlin Dancing—Queen Snappiest Dresser—Queen Intellect—Queen. Truest—Queen. Smile—Queen. Dickey thinks the same thing of Esther. (We think he does). And we think Buddy Parry ' s thoughts are still in Virginia and around the jail. Franky Berg is plenty nuts about Elmwood Place, too. Of course, Andernacht agrees with the King, except that he thinks is perfect. Thelma’s oke with Kip, too. Ask Jimmy Williamson who the blond was that he fell for the day he hit this institution of learning? We think Fritz is getting a raw- deal. He is an honorable man, so he says, and he did not take “The Log of the Betsy Anne.” 1 Billy Pfaff thinks quite a lot of L. E. too. Doesn’t he Lorene? And everyone said Gordy Ander¬ son was a cold potato, but they were wrong, weren’t they, Phyllis? Esther could go for Milton or Floyd easily enough, but they don’t seem to catch on. (Is it because they’re Freshies, or is Esther losing her grip? •Killer” makes use of Platt’s fill¬ ing station every noon, while he waits for Loretta or Marian. Jim Kubal says that his idea of a perfect girl friend is E. B. Oh! what we know about Edith. Rooty still gets hot under the collar whenever Frances gives him that come-hither look. It goes without saying that Ox has ideas of the perfect girl friend | (We wonder whether Don Elser’s are the same). Somebody asked “Plugger” whe¬ ther Georgia was his idea of the perfect one; and ‘Beau Brummel’ came back with, “Which one?” What does it cost to telephone to Columbus, Missouri? Bud Parry want us to inform Janet that he can swim better now and that he is definitely in-the- running for some beach party dates this summer. (Boy, how that fel¬ low loves the water). And as a fitting ending, we two old maestri wish to present a gift of two dozen doughnut holes to Mister Andrew “Beau Brummel” Place, in commemoration of all the broken and bleeding hearts he left behind him in his four (?) years’ stay in C. P. H. S. P. S. One day Mr. Busenburg didn’t have to tell Collins and Wil¬ son to vamoose from McLaughlin ' s locker. (She was absent). E. Purdy: Mother, am I descended from the monkey tribe? Mother: I’m not sure, Erwin, I never met any of your father’s folks. Mrs. Kalen: Why in your prayers do you only ask for your daily bread? Why don’t you ask for [enough for a week? Billie Davies: So we can get it fresh every day.

We began the year by electing Anthony Horst, presi¬ dent; Virginia McLaughlin, vice- president; Jane Kindberg, secre¬ tary; and Edward Kramer, treasur¬ er. After a three months’ vacation, the freshmen met again; but this time as sophomores. This year Edith Burge was president. Some of the gophomore boys showed remarkable ability in both football and basketball. Harry Collins and Joe Weinberg played on the first basketball team. Ten of our girls were pledged in¬ to the Pepinella Club. During Thanksgiving vacation the entire school, and, especially, the sophomores, mourned the death of Edward Kramer. Since time passed quickly, the sophomores, to their surprise, found j themselves in the junior class. This | year Irving Southworth was elect¬ ed president; Irene Golden, vice- president; Bill Platt, secretary; and Lorraine Selkow, treasurer. At the time of the Hallowe’er Carnival, Jane Kindberg and An¬ thony Horst were the junior Queen and King elects. “Tony” won the cup for King of ’33. The juniors were well represent¬ ed on the football squad this year. The regular players were Collins, Weinberg, Miller, Wilson, Horst, and last but not least, “Killer” Klark¬ owski. (Boy! did he slay’ em!!!) All these boys received letters for their splendid playing. The re¬ serves were Toomey, Purdy, Root, and Steuer. In basketball Harry Collins, Bob Wilson, Tony Horst, Joe Weinberg, Bill Platt, Bill Steeb, and Norman Hack represented the varsity. Er- | win Purdy and Paul Toomey are the juniors on the second team. On December 13, 1933, the juniors under the able direction of Mrs. Seamonson, presented the three aci play Professor Pepp. The play cen¬ tered around Professor Pepp, (Irv¬ ing Southworth) who had just come back from Russia and was afraid of Russian nihilists and anarchists; Mr. C. B. Buttonbuster, (Walter Swansoh) a giddy butterfly of forty- eight, had deserted Aunt Minerva Boulder, (Irene Golden) for a bleach blond typewriter. Howard Green, (Billy Pfaff) was C. B. But- tonbuster’s son and married Pro- ; fessor Pepp’s ward, Betty Gardner (Virginia McLaughlin). Petunia Muggins, (Bernice Brooks) the hir¬ ed girl and Sim Batty, (Walter (Continued on Page 24)

Sophomore History In the fall of 1932, about eighty! rather green, but hopeful students, entered C. P. H. S. and became the class of “36”, destined to do big things. Lorraine Margison was elected president: Thelma Pettit, vice-pres¬ ident; Bernard Wallace, treasurer; and Viola Heick, secretary. At the second class meeting, we chose our class colors, which were purple and white, and the motto: “To the stars through difficulties.” A number of boys represented out¬ class on the football team and, al¬ though they did not play in any games, they showed possibilities for future development. We, also, had J a good basketball team. After the Hobart basketball game | on February 10, we held our first dance in the club room of the Com¬ munity Building. The room was decorated in our class colors, and in many balloons hanging from the ceiling. Everyone decided that the dance was a real success. At the beginning of our Sopho¬ more year we met again, and this time elected Bill Brown as presi¬ dent; Marian Anderson, vice-presi¬ dent; Jim Louis, secretary; and John Borchert, treasurer. Again this year our class had many boys on the football team and this year they got to play in some of the games. Audrey Smith and Fred Kruil were our class nominees for King and Queen at the Hallowe’en Carni¬ val. During the basket ball season a large number of sophomores were on the second team. On December eighth, our second dance was sponsored. Although it was not altogether a financial suc¬ cess, everyone had a good time. Next came the operetta, “The Sunbonnet Girl”, in which a large number of sophomores appeared in the choruses and Fred Krull was one of the leading characters. Soon our Sophomore year will be ended, and we shall become juniors “We hope in the future to do big¬ ger and better things. “Come on
