POISON ALS We still don’t know where “Kip” was when the lights went out (tell us, please, Thelma). We wish “Pinky” would make up his mind. The suspense is terrible HUMOR H. Collins: Here’s some candy. Sweets for the sweet. V. McLaughlin: Thank you. Here are some nuts. Mrs. Thomas: Bernard, isn’t your voice a little squeaky today? B. Pressler: I’ve got a cold. May¬ be I’m only hitting on one tonsil. We hear the government is going to buy a truck for Joe, so he can | deliver himself special delivery j down to Lowell. Freddy says another storm has j blown over. Is that so, Eleanor? Be careful, Martha, the senior president is noted for being a heart- breaker. We thought we wouldn’t see; Handy around here anymore, but j we were wrong. Weren’t we, Eileen? | Please, Dickey, tell us the story about the “Blue Eagle” just once more. And Clark really can run a study hall. Duke, don’t you know the only way to keep Jimmy W. awake is to park V. McL. near him? Benny thinks Benny is the perfect boy friend, all except the personal¬ ity part and he thinks Benny de¬ serves that. Did those of you who were in the seventh period study hall ever won¬ der if Steiner was Esther’s silent love? We hear “Shorty” is planning about three years post-graduate work. Izzat so, Liz? Who’s that guy that says when¬ ever he falls, “This one is the sweet¬ est in the world?” “Plugger” calls his girls “Mite” because they might go for him and they might not. Ethel Mae S. is destined to be the VAMP of C. P. H. S. (if they don’t lock her up first) And talking of guilty consciences, everyone tried to keep his name out of this column. Ask the Editor, H. M. C., Buddy Parry, or Ervin S. Miss Kruger: What do you con¬ sider the greatest accomplishment of the ancient Romans? B. Versteegh: Speaking Latin. J. Louis: Let’s have some ginger ale. B. Fifield: Pale? J. Louis: No, an ordinary glass will be large enough. Miss Taggart: Bernard, please de¬ fine “group.” B. Pressler: A group is a bunch of people containing a few more than several. T. Pettit: Why do you have that string tied around your finger? A. Parry: My mother put it on there, so that I would remember to mail a letter. T. Parry: Well! Did you mail the letter? A. Parry: No, she forgot to give it to me! Mrs. Seamonson: Name a product of the West Indies. C. Johnson: I don’t know any. Mrs. Seamonson: Come, come, where do you get sugar from? C.

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.

FOOTBALL High School Football Season Opens Register: In a pre-season practice game, the new varsity squad, under the tutelage of Paul Church, our new athletic director, held the heavier Alumni to a 6-6 tie. Many of our old stars played in this game among them were: Bill Horst ’32, Sherm Woods ’29, Bert Ellis ’33, Dean Har¬ per ’33, Bill Fateh ’33, Bob Ross ’31, Male. Stonex ’33, Dick Madsen ’33, and Bob Volk ’33. C. P. Loses to Mishawaka Crown Point was beaten 18 to 6 in this game, but they showed that the old fight was there. Shorty Woods missed this game because of a leg injury, and he was missed in the line-up. (It was in this game too that Jimmy Kubal gained re¬ nown as a gunman.) C. P. H. S. Trims Clark In a close game payed at St. Mary’s field, Cro wn Point High School nosed out the Clark High chool team of Hammond by a score of 7-6. It was Crown Point’s first Con¬ ference Game on the home field, and they really started out the season right. Red and White Lose Close Scrap Register: The Church men lost a battle that really was a victory in one sense of the word. After holding splendidly throughout the game the Red and White relaxed a little too soon, in the closing minutes of the game and on a spinner Valpo scored a touchdown. Crown Point gained
