CROWN POINT INKLINGS PEPINELLA CLUB. The Pepinella Club met at the beginning of the school year and elected the following officers: Ann Johnson, president; Dorothy Sel- kow, vice-president; Virginia Lane, secretary and treasurer; and Mrs. McMichael as our new advisor. Mrs. Seamonson, our former ad¬ visor. was elected an honorary member. A committee, which consisted of the club officers and Lorraine Sel- kow, was elected to outline the year’s program. In November the Pepinellas had charge of a pep session before the football game with Lowell. At this assembly the girls took the part of some of the boys. Do you remem¬ ber how Carol liked his all day suck¬ er, and Jimmy his gun? The spectators at the Catholic Central football game were made warm and comfortable by hot dogs and coffee, which the Pepinella girls prepared and served. The money which they took in was given to the Athletic Association. The Pepinellas also helped the Athletic Association by sponsoring a dance in November. The school gym was decorated with cartoons of the various football and basket ball heroes of the school. Gay pennants added a note of color. At the Hallowe’en Carnival, which the school sponsored, the Pepinellas furnished one of the stunts. Among these seen “Pettin’ in the Park” and “Down the Old Ox Road” were the professor and the old maid, the policeman and the cook, two young things, and two of about sweet “seventeen.” In November the Club pledged the following seniors and juniors: Mar¬ garet Baum, Florence Fisher, Lucille Marlatt, Mary Jane Ross, Charlotte Wemple. Genevieve Burton, Lillian Mikuta, Barbara Ingram, Bernice Brooks, Edna Holtz, Eleanor Fateh The following week of initiation some of the queer things were: The pledges marching around town with their little toys. Eleanor Fateh, trying to keep Fred company without talking to him. Genny Burton, sharpening many pencils. Edna Holst, walking up to the front of the class to say “I don c know.” Bernice Brooks, being over laden with books. Lucille Marlott, not speaking to Joe in band. Barbara Ingram, acting quite crazy at the word “nurtz.” Charlotte Wemple, smiling sweet¬ ly at all requests. Florence Fisher, saluting so nice¬ ly. Lillian Mikuta, acting as a wait¬ ress. Mary Jane Ross, being so patient and sweet. iviargaret Baum, learning to curtsy. niter a week of this nonsense, the j Pepinella consented to be entertain- | ed at a dinner furnished and serv¬ ed by the pledges at the school milding. Later the pledges had the pleasure of feeling the parts of John Brown’s body, going through ] the sweat room, and coming before the Court of Pepinella. Passing all these tests to the satisfaction f the Club, the pledges became wel¬ come members of Pepinella. The crowning event of the season was the Pepinella Alumni Date Dance which was held in the high school gym, December 26. The gym had been transformed by Christmas tinsel, and a beautifully trimmed Christmas tree. “Doc and His Doctors” furnished the music for the affair. Delicious fruit punch and wafers were served during the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Kindberg and Mrs. McMichael acted as chap¬ erons. Muc h to the regret of the Club, it lost one of its dearest members, Mary Jane Ross, who moved to her home town. At her departure the Club presented her with a memory book. As is customary, new members will be pledged in the late spring. These new pledges will help to carry on the spirit of good sportmanship and to cooperate in all school activ¬ ities, the creed of every Pepinella girl. PAULINE PRATT Tony Horst: Are you going to my sister’s birthday party? Sparky Collins: What birthday is it? Tony: Her twentieth. Sparky: No. I went last year. Bob Wilson: What shall we do tonight? Joe Weinberg: I’ll spin a coin and see. If it comes head, we’ll go to the movies; if it’s tails, we’ll go to a dance; and if it stands on edge we’ll do our lessons. Paul Toomey: Could you give a fellow a job, buddy? Barber: Yes, I’ve wanted my bar¬ ber pole repainted for a long time, and I’ll give you the work. Paul: But where can I get the striped paint? Mother: A 20 page letter from Malcolm, what does he say? V. Lane: He says he loves me. V. McLaughlin: The man I marry must be bold as a lion, but not over bold, handsome as Apollo, industr¬ ious as Vulcan, wise as Solomon, yei- meek as Moses. A man all girls would court, yet devoted to only one girl—myself. Jim Williamson: How lucky we met. Customer: What makes the milk you sell me so watery? Willard Paarlberg: You see, ma¬ dam, the cows got into the salt bin last week, and it makes ’em awful thirsty. Frances Kemp: Don’t tell any¬ body for all the world. See this ring? Carol slipped it on my finger last night. Girl from Lowell: Yes, it’s a nice looking ring, but it will make a black mark around your finger be¬ fore you’ve worn it a week. It did on mine.

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

Freshman Notes This year Crown Point High School opened the school semester with the freshman enrollment to¬ taling eighty-five. Miss Holland and Mrs. Kalen were advisors for the girls, and Mr. Church was ad¬ visor for the boys. One of the first things the class did was to elect officers, and choose a class flower, a class motto, and the class colors. Georgia Carroll was elected president; Eugene Cook, vice-president; Homer Randolph, secretary, and Phyllis Burroughs, treasurer. Dick Calvin was chosen for the Student Council. After much debating, the fresh¬ men chose for their class motto: “Not to the top, but still climbing”. Blue and silver were chosen as the colors, and the rose for the class flower. Every year a King and Queen is chosen from each class for the Hallowe’en carnival. Mil- ton Carlson and Mary Lou Harper were chosen for the freshman King and Queen. Many of the freshmen boys went out for basketball and much is ex¬ pected of them in their future High School Years. Several of the fresh¬ men girls were in the operetta, “Sunbonnet Girl” which proved to their parents and friends that they had musical aspirations. On February 17, after the Knox game, the freshmen held a dance at the high school gym. Everyone enjoyed himself. The dance was a social success, as well as a financial success. The freshmen cleared $21.95. Theater tickets, which were giv¬ en to the pupils who had the best grades, were won during the first semester by Georgia Carroll, Edith Swanson, and Betty Versteegh. Margaret Strong, Cecelia Carl, and Pauline Henderson received them for having shown the most im¬ provement. The only thing that saddened the freshmen’s first year in high school was the death of Robert Hoffman.
