Among our noted visitors was Mr. Edgar C. Raine, who lectured and showed us some picturesque and historical slides of Alaska. Another interesting lecturer was Leon Albert. He brought with him beautiful furs of animals found in Venezuela, as well as many inter¬ esting facts about that country. He evidently left an impression on some of us (perhaps some of you girls noticed the boys staring at you). Mr. Wysong also gave an inter¬ esting lecture on conservation, illus¬ trating his talk with slides. Many of us have learned how to take better care of our health after the impressive lectures by our own EVA DUTTON Junior High School English and Mathematics Ypsilanti State Normal, Valparaiso University, Chicago University. “In her tongue is the law of kind- HAZEL SMITH Junior High School Arithmetic and Social Science, Tri-State College, Indiana University, Chicago University. “Whatever you do, do wisely, and think of the consequences.” ELLA BLACKSTONE “A work of kindness is seldom rpoken in vain.” FRED MECKLENBERG “He enjoys the luxury of doin; good.” Dr. Weis. He lectured and showed us moving pictures on preventing disease and preserving our health. Our Indian friend, whom we went to the Community Building to see, tried to interest us and make us more acquainted with his people. He brought with him many Indian Costumes, weapons, utensils, etc., and told us of his tribe’s life, gam¬ es, ways of making a living and so forth. The famous magician, Hoffman, who also entertained us at the Community Building, amused us all Both the high school and the grade school enjoyed his performance. By pulling live rabbits out of empty hats, money out of the air and off people’s noses, and many other such tricks, he succeeded in keep ing us all mystified but merry. A member of our faculty, Mrs. Seamonson, also helped to enter¬ tain us on Lincoln’s birthday. She gave a delightful reading of the play “Abraham Lincoln” by Drink- water. “The Singer of Naples” was a ro¬ mantic comedy which took place in Italy. Fred Krull had the lead¬ ing role as the “Singer”, Gladys Liffick was a poor little gypsy girl in love with Fred; Jane Thompson was a rich society matron who gave Fred his “chance”. Others who did a very good bit in the play were, Joel Davis, Allen Danks, Jim Louis, Walter Yurgilas, Caroline Johnson, Elizabeth Rettig, Doris Rose, Gil¬ bert Wright. “A man without a country” visit¬ ed us and told us of his unusual ex¬ periences. George Elias was his name; but what his country is, ho does not know. He has just been made a citizen of the United States and has been re-united with his mother after years of separation. His talk was very effective and was enjoyed by every one. 10 CROWN POINT INKLINGS SENIOR CLASS First Row : Vernon Hoshaw, Bill Anderson, James Williamson, Bill Steeb, Walter Yurgilas, Tony Horst, Erwin Purdy, Walter Swanson, Steve Sikorcin.

Senior Class History In September, 1932, a group of one hundred and two students started a treasure hunt from the Grade Eight landing field to the land called High School. We soon found that this could not be a non¬ stop flight, but that we would have to stop for supplies and knowledge at various islands. With our pilots, Miss Bollenbach, Miss Greene, Mr. Pruitt, and Mr. Poe, we boarded a squadron of tri¬ motor airplanes. Tony Horst was elected as our co-pilot, and Virginia McLaughlin, Jane Kindberg, and Edward Kramer as helpers. The first stop was on the island called Freshman. There, every¬ thing was green. The news flash ed from island to island that there was to be a Health Debate among the inhabitants of the various is¬ lands. People from each island of the group participated, with the Sophomores and Freshmen com¬ peting in the finals. The distin¬ guished Freshmen overpowered the lowly Sophomores; and the Fresh ¬ men decided the green was becom¬ ing less apparent. We again boarded our airplanes and started for the next island, Sophomore. This trip we chose Edith Burge as our co-pilot, with the before chosen pilots. The help¬ ers for this trip were Vernon Ho¬ shaw and Harry Collins. This ad¬ venture was profitable; for we gave a Thanksgiving Dance, which prov¬ ed to be a big success. During this sojourn several of our girls pledg¬ ed to the famous Pepinella Club. After much kissing of floors and misplacing of cosmetics, we were received none to gently as mem¬ bers of the club. Two of our group, Collins and Weinberg, showed re¬ markable ability at basketball. This stop proved fatal to one of our crew, Edward Kramer, who met his death through a gun accident. He was deeply mourned by all of his fellow-students. We bade farewell to the Sophomore Isle and went in further search of the treasure to the Junior Isle. On this hop we regretted losing our former pilots but were glad to continue the hunt iwith our new pilots, Miss Taggart, Mrs. Seamon- son, and Mr. Atkins. Here the gay Juniors chose Irving Southworth as their co-pilot. The assisting officers CROWN POINT INKLINGS of the crew were Irene Golden, Bill Platt, and Lorraine Selkow. Here we found another type of enter¬ tainment. The Hallowe’en Carnival held by all of the islands proved a success. Everyone interested con¬ tributed to the success of the Car¬ nival. We were glad that we could have a part in the work and fun. Tony Horst was chosen ‘ King of the Islands”. There was an excellent turnout for both basketball and football. Many of our crew held prominent places on the varsity of both sports. At this time a decision was made to earn money for the Junior-Senior Prom. The result was a play, “Professor Pepp”. On December, 1933, this three act play was presented under the able dir ection of Mrs. Seamonson. The play centered around (Professor Pepp, (Irving Southworth) who had just come back from Russia and was afraid of Russian nihilists and anarchists; Mr. C. B. Buttonbuster, (Walter Swanson) a giddy butter¬ fly of forty-eight, had deserted Aunt Minerva Boulder, (Irene Golden ' for a bleach blond typewriter Howard Green, (Billy Pfaff) was C. B. Buttonbuster’s son and married Professor Pepp’s ward, Betty Gard¬ ner, (Virginia McLaughlin). Pe¬ tunia Muggins, (Bernice Brooks) the hired girl and Sim Batty, (Wal¬ ter Yurgilas) the town constable, added humor to the play. Others Sam: You ain’t go no brains. Tim: Ain’t got no brains? Why son, I got brains what ain’t been used. Briggs (pointing to a haystack): What kind of a house is that? Kretchmar: That ain’t a house, that’s a haystack. Briggs: Say, you can’t fool me, hay doesn’t grow in a lump like that. We all are wondering how Lois W.’s cradle is rocking—not so good. Bill Carroll: What is that bump on your head? Dick Kammert: Oh, that’s where a thought struck me. in the cast were Olga Stopski (Lor- ene Ellis), the teacher of foik- dancing; Kitty Clover (Vada Pint¬ er), a collector of souvenirs; Vivian Drew (Jane Kindberg) a college belle; Irene Van Hilt (Marjorie Stewart), a social leader; Caroline Kay, (Lorraine Carlson), a happy freshman; Peddler Benson, (Ver¬ non Hoshaw), working his way thru school; Noisy Fleming (Carol Root), just out of high school; Pink Hat¬ cher (Bryant Brown), an athletic sophomore; and Buster Brown (Lawrence Nespital), a vociferous junior. On January 10 and 11 the Junior Isle sponsored the show “SOS Iceberg.” This added $17.00 to our account. The big event of the sea¬ son now arrived. This was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom on May 19, 1934. The tables in the Community Auditorium were dec¬ orated in the Junior and Senior class colors. Over head was an im¬ posing canopy fashioned from blue silver, and green crepe paper from which swung gaily colored lights. After the banquet, everyone en¬ joyed dancing to the music of Bill Fryer’s orchestra of Valparaiso. From here we “took-off” on the last lap of our journey. Hurray! for the Isle of Seniors! During our previous journey, some of our crew returned home leaving approxi¬ mately sixty-four to complete the Georgia: “Oh, John did you see Frankie last night?” John: “No, dear, I’m limping be¬ cause I slipped on a banana peel.” LaVerne H.: See this diamond ring. Well, It once belonged to a millionaire.” Bob Briggs: And who was the millionaire? LaVerne H.: Woolworth. Miss Smith and Miss Dutton seem to like marble VERY much. Mildred Dickens, a scout leader: “Jeanette, what is the best method to prevent the disease caused by biting insects? Jeanette: Don’t bite the insects. hunt. We were again glad to have Miss Taggart and Mr. Atkins as our pilots and Bill Platt as our co-pilot. The other helpers were Eileen Sera- mur and Bryant Brown. We began this season by the Senior girls giv¬ ing the Freshmen girls a party on Senior Island. The Seniors then decided to give a dance to enter¬ tain the rest of the Islands. After a basketball game everyone enjoy¬ ed “tripping the light fantastic” to Joe Horn’s Orchestra. After the first semester exams, the social functions again held full sway. One of the important features was the Senior party. The evening’s enter¬ tainment was composed of card games and dancing to the excellent music of Malcolm Stonex’s Orches¬ tra. To complete the evening’s fun delicious refreshments were served. As we near the end of our hunt, the Seniors are looking forward to the banquet and prom, which promises to be different. Another feature of great importance to the Seniors is the Baccalaureate Service. Reverend Adkins will give the address on May 19, 1935. The following week, May 23, the seniors will complete the hunt, with the finding of the treasure, their “diplomas.” From here we part in our sep¬ arate planes, each person to achieve success in his chosen world. —PAULINE PRATT The Hoshaws like South Main Street. Eileen: “What’s the matter Harry, you look worried?” Collins: “Work, work, work, noth¬ ing but work to do from morning to night.” Eileen: “How long have you been working?” Collins: “Oh, I start tomorrow.” Kirk: “Who was Eve?” Killer: “The first chicken that ever ruined a man’s garden.” Miss Foster: “Shall I paint you in a frock coat?” Mr. Lutz: “Oh, don’t make any fuss—just wear your smock.” 12 In a small town in Erehwon there is a man sitting before a glowing lire wondering if he has done the right thing. The year is 1955 and the man is Fate. The thoughts running thru his head are concerning the Class of 1935 of Crown Point High School. In that class there were sixty- three men and women; some of them successful to the highest de¬ gree and some who were not so fortunate. Of all the women haters in that class, he sees Ralph Biegel, The Old Man of the Mountain, in the Argentines. While on the other- hand, he sees that handsome Erwin Purdy is a Gallant Gigolo in Gay Paree. Now let us see what Fate has let happen to a few would be actresses. Mae Hofferber and Agnes Penska are waitresses in “The High Hat Cafe” in Hollywood. Marjorie Stew¬ art has rated a first rate stock com¬ pany. Of course Sellers has become quite famous as an animal impersonator. A few of our friends were given the chances of higher education, but Edna Holst and Agnes Brueck- man are school teachers. Walter Swanson has risen to the heights of Ballyhoo—Editor-in-chief. Fate beamed kindly on a few the sport addicts! Norman Hack is a great baseball player; Anthony Horst is captain of the Leroy Pole- sitters marathon! Laurence Nespi- tal’s name is written in huge let¬ ters on the bill boards as the great- CROWN POINT INKLINGS Old Man Fate est juggler of all time; Bill Pfaff an expert horseshoe pitcher in tho blacksmith league. We shall now take a short trip to New York City. Here we find Ber¬ nice Brooks hostess of the Gad- a-bout Night Club. Killer is her chief bouncer; and Vada Pinter, who is a prominent manequin both here and abroad, is a frequent pa¬ tron. Agatha Wachter and Lucille Hen¬ ning are famous dress designers. Leona Fischer has charge of a kindergarten in California. Dorothy Golding is a Crystal Gazer, and Elizabeth Taylor and Fern Thompson are sailing the seas of matrimony. Lorraine Selkow is in the diplo¬ matic service. De Ette Tilton is married to tho owner of a Hotel, where Carol Root is bell hop. Clarice Diamond has become Mrs. Platt, and she and her husband own a chain of filling stations. Bryant Brown is a great surgeon and Edith Burge is the head night nurse at the Broken Hearts Mercy Hospital. Harry Collins is still usually get¬ ting what he wants through gentle persuasion. Lucille Marlatt is just a Bachelo- Maid, and Eleanor is content with her Ladies Aid and Sewing Circle. Bill Anderson is a divorce lawyer in Reno, and Jack Fuerst is a house detective in Goldblatt’s. Linda Kruger is a Grand Opera star playing opposite Laurence Tib- bett.

Eileen Weber is a window dresser at Marshall Fields. Warren Wegener is a billiard player with a long line of trophies. Gilbert Wright is a wig maker. The air minded Miller and Wilson are carrying on a legitimate busi¬ ness with milk bottles. Joe Fronek is a federal man with Bernice Riley as his secretary. Those who are prominent politi¬ cally are: Lorene Ellis, the first woman Governor of Indiana; Paul Toomey, Warden of Sing Sing. Edith Patz is an economic statician, and Irene Golden is a lobbyist at the Indiana Legislature. Of course Pauline has continued her education by studying medical terms. As the cold north wind blows, we find Eileen Seramur cruising on the Mediterranean. All these years Jane has been waiting patiently for the right mar to come along. Her long cherished dream has come true: she is living in a penthouse. Welter Yurgilas is superintendent of Long Cliff Insane Asyulm. But who can tell? There may come a day! As we reminisce (with Fate, we see he has not treated our small world so badly—that it could be worse.

At their first class meeting Lorraine Margison was elected president; Thelma Pettit vice-president; Bernard Wallace, treasurer; and Viola Heick, secre¬ tary. At the following meeting t’ v class colors, purple and white, and the class motto, “To the stars through difficulties,” were chosen. After the Hobart basketball game on February 10, they held their first dance which was considered a suc- f ss. The Club room of the Legion Hall was decorated in purple and white. On returning in the fall of 193° os sophomores, they were ambition - hut not in the right ways? They chose for president, Wilford Brown; Junior Notes vice-president, Marian Anderson; secretary, Jim Louis; and treasurer, John Borchert. On December 8, another dance was held. This was not as much ol a success as the first dance. But, nevertheless, the class struggled on with the hope that something b would happen when the time came. At the Hallowe’en Carnival, Aud- ! rey Smith and Fred Krull were the sophomore candidates for King and Queen. Several of the class took part in the operetta, ‘‘The Sunbonnet Girl Fred Krull was one of the leadin ' characters. They were “partially grown up.’ jwhen in the fall of 1934 they re- ! turned as juniors. They were pos¬ sessed with the idea that they would have to work in order to give a banquet and a prom for the sen¬ iors; so they chose the person that they thought best suited for the position of leading the class, Ray Bjorklund was elected president; Audrey Smith was chosen vice-pres¬ ident; Fred Krull, secretary-treas- urer. There were no activities the first semester, but the second semester the class sponsored on February 23 and 21, the picture, “Caravan”. This was a huge success. Around the first of May they expect to sponsor, “The Night Was Young”. Although this is not estimated to succeed like the first, the class hopes to make jsome money. They sincerely appre¬ ciate Mr. Johnson’s generosity in letting them sponsor two pictures.

Sophomore Class “Yes, Sylvia, the class of ’37 was I a great class ’ ‘‘What are some of the things which made your class a success. Mother? We want to have an up and coming class, too.” “For one thing, we started out well in our freshman year. Wc elected Georgia Carroll, president; Eugene Cook, vice-president; Hom¬ er Randolph, secretary; Phyllis Burroughs, treasurer; and Dick Calvin, Student Council representa¬ tive. We had very efficient officers in our sophomore year, also, George Vinnedge, president; Elizabeth Ret tig, vice-president; Jack Turner, secretary; Dick Calvin, treasurer; and Mary Harper, Student Council representative.” “We chose our officers last week. We don’t know whether to have blue and gold or green and gold for our class colors. A committee is selecting the motto.” “Blue and silver were our colois and our motto was “Not to the top, but still climbing!” Tnat is on thing that kept us on the go, living up to our motto.” “How did you make money. Some of us want to sponsor a show, oth¬ ers a dance. Which do you think i best, Mother?” “That depends on how much you work. Our freshman year we spoil sored a dance after the Knox game on the high school gym. Our second year we gave a George Washington dance after the Lowell game at the Community Building. They were successes both times, not only socially but financially.” “Mr. Dobson said we were going to have a Hallowe’en Carnival this year. He said they used to have them every year.” “We always had a king and queer, to reign over the carnival. The first our candidates were Mary Har¬ per and Milton Carlson. Our sopho¬ more year we chose Georgia Carroll, who lost by a small margin, and Floyd Seramur. Everything such ! as prizes and food was donated to the carnival. It was always a big affair.” j “Did they give sweaters and let- jters as rewards for good athletes (Continued on Page Twenty) 16 CROWN POINT INKLINGS FRESHMAN CLASS First Row: George Ross, John Phillips, Robert Kouder, Charles Kouder, Junior Stiener, Cecil Porch Harry Wagonblast, Glen Hoagland, Merle Dllle, Herbert Patz, Allen Carlson, Robert Horton.

Miss Foster and Mrs. Seamonson were chosen as advisors for the girls, and Mr. Kirk¬ patrick and Mr. Jones for the boys. Their first “big” duty was to elect officers and choose a class flower and colors. After a much de¬ bated election, this was accomplish¬ ed. Betty Griesel was elected president; Bob Welsh, vice-presi¬ dent; Bob Sykora, secretary, and Vella Lee Page, treasurer. June Thompson was chosen for the Student Council. Black and gold were selected as our colors, and the yellow rose for the class flower. The senior girls “threw” a “big sister” party for the freshmen girls at the fair grounds in the fall. Jimmy Wagner and Fern Purdy were chosen as the freshmen repre ¬ sentatives for king and queen of the Hallowe’en carnival at the close of the contest, Fern was chosen to reign as Queen of the carnival. June Thompson and Gladys Lif¬ fick showed unusually good talent in the leading parts of the annual high school operetta: “The Singer of Naples,” which was given Decem¬ ber sixteenth. A large group of freshmen girls and boys played minor parts. This year fifteen freshmen boys went out for football and proved to be most faithful in their practice. Bob Ellis, Mickey McKnight, Jim Wagner, Chuck Nassau, John Young, George Brooks, Bob Welsh, and Bob Sykora made up the fresh¬ men basket ball team.

Junior High Notes In the fall of 1934 there were ninety-six Junior High School pupils enrolled, forty-four being seventh grade pupils which came to this building for the first time. Some of the seventh graders are so small we thought they might have come from the fourth or fifth grade. The Professor: “Your son has a great thirst for knowledge. Where does he get it?” Mother: “He gets the knowledge from me and the thirst from his father.” advisors are Miss Dutton and Miss Smith. The eighth grade class has gone in for athletics in a big way this year, the boys coming through by winning the class basketball tourn¬ ament and also winning all outside games except one. In celebration of the winning of the class tourna- Mrs. Seamonson: “Who was King of France during the Revolution?” Heide: “Louis the Thirteenth—no, the Fifteeneth—no, the Fourteenth —no, the—well, anyhow he was in his teens.” ment the boys entertained some ol the girls. The eighth grade girls have done quite well, winning three games oui of five. Soon our eighth grade year will be over and we will begin four years of hard grinding. Mr. Atkins: “Before I was married I said I would be the boss or know the reason why.” Mr. Jones: “And now?” Mr. Atkins: “I know the reason why.” 13 CROWN POINT INKLINGS PEPINELLAS First Row: Edith Burge, Agnes Brueckman, Linda Kruger, DeEtte Tilton, Mr. Pruitt Miss Taggart, Lorraine Selkow, Edna Holst, Lorraine Margison, Marion Anderson.

Pepinella Well, here we are back again safe and sound. We had to talk and talk to Mr. Pruitt, but he finally broke down. After Mr. Pruitt’s con¬ sent to have our good old Pep Club, we had our first meeting September 14, 1934. We elected the following officers for the entire year: Bernice Brooks, president; Vada Pinter, vice president; Aimee Parry, secretary and treasurer. With the aid of our president, Bernice Brooks, we start¬ ed our active year. We had our Pep meetings on Friday the 8th per¬ iod. Whenever there was an im¬ portant football game, the Pepi- nellas tried to pep it up at assemb¬ lies. About Christmas time, we took in new members consisting only of Juniors and Seniors. The new pledges were: Agnes Brueckman, Clarice Diamond, Irene Golden, Mae Hofferber, Agnes Penska, Elizabeth Taylor, DeEtte Tilton, Viola Heick Helen Howe, Helen Patterson, Eli¬ zabeth Steinman, and Wilma Trump. As we could not initiate during school, we saved al of our energy and ideas until the eve of the initia¬ tion on November 21. Next came our date dance, which was held on December 8th. It was fun listening to the talk of the girls who were wondering whom they were going to ask and what they were going to wear—especially the pledges. The second Pepinella dance of the year was held May 4, 1935 in the gym of C. P. H. S. The Pepin¬ ella girls cordially invited all the girls of the school and their friends to attend the dance. It was a big success, financially and otherwise. The music was furnished by Mal¬ colm Stonex’s orchestra. The gym was gayly decorated with bright colors. It was the biggest Pep dance held for the past two years. We had a very good year, and I don’t see how the girls will get along without our efficient officers. CARRY ON PEPINELLAS!

The purpose of the club is to pro¬ vide extra curricular activties for the students interested in history and social science; therefore it is purely an academic organization. In order to be a member of the club, the student must have and try to obtain good grades. While he is a member of the club, he must make some individual research during the year, on some subject in which he is interested. Many of the members are working on their reports at the present time. History Club Marches On To start the new year right, we had a meeting in January. After the election of officers, the sponsor gave a book review. The story was Hamlin Garlan’s “Son of the Mid¬ dle Border.” At the February meeting Mrs Seamonson lectured on her visit to Warwick and Kenilworth Castles This was very enjoyable. In March, Mr. Allman visited our club. He brought along some of the moving pictures that he took on his trip though the Holy Land a few years ago. This lecture gave a totally different viewpoint on the social and economic life of the Holy Land. For the April meeting, we have planned to have Miss Foster give us a talk on Colonial Architectural Styles. To round out the school year, we have planned to give a radio party: and last, but not least, there will be and intiation of the new members. All sophomores who took history and who had and who have a fairly good average will be introduced into the ways and means of the club. As this club is a new student pro ject, the seniors di d not have as much advantage to enjoy it, as the underclass men will have in the se¬ mesters to come. 19 3 5 20 CROWN POINT INKLINGS BAND First Row: Dick Hill, Robert LaCroix, Dick Nickels.

Clifford Henderson and Oscar Mills and some others also showed much abil¬ ity on the basketball floor that year.” “Did they have operettas then, too?” “Yes, they had the “Singer of Naples” our sophomore year. Our class was well represented both in cast and chorus. We had an oper¬ etta every year. We had good tim¬ es in those days. The ony thing that saddened our first two years was the loss of Robert Hoffman.” “I hope we choose good officers to begin our junior year.” Mr. Busenberg: “When I was your age, I thought nothing of walking ten miles to school.” Bryant: “I don’t think much of it either.” Henderson: “When do you do [ your hardest work?” Killer: “Before breakfast always” Henderson: “What do you do?” Killer: “Try and get out of bed.’ Mr. Platt: “My boy v histles while he works.” Mr. Williamson: “You’re lucky.

A. is a national organ¬ ization of young farmers. The Crown Point High School Agricul¬ ture students formed a club and applied for an F. F. A. Charter. They received the Charter January 12, 1934. The 1935 Agriculture class adopt¬ ed the Charter and continued where the previous class left off. The following boys have been mem¬ bers for two years and are eligible for a Future Farmers degree: E. Van Denburgh, treasurer; G. Van Denburgh, secretary; C. Van Den¬ burgh, Watch Dog; Steve Sikorcin Reporter; Francis Beeker, Edward Luke. The new members who were initiated as Green Hands are. Everett Winkler; Herbert Schiesser; Junior Dance; Clifford Bartholo¬ mew; Wilbur Wirtz; and Harry Wa¬ gonblast. The members have taken several interesting trips. They went to the International Livestock Show and stayed there for one day. Two delegates from our Chapter at¬ tended the F. F. A. State Conven¬ tion at Purdue and enjoyed a stay of three days. Five more members went a day later; they did not at¬ tend the meeting. All the mem¬ bers were allowed to go through the buildings, attend a banquet and all the boys had a good time. The boys organized a basketball team; they played sixteen games and won 12. By charging admis¬ sion at a few of the games they accumulated a small sum of money in the treasury. The club is now interested in a plan for conservations. They will receive bird eggs from the State and their part is to hatch them and distribute them in the com¬ munity. The club has been successful thru the aid of Mr. Lutz, Vocational Agriculture Teacher. FRESHMAN NOTES (Continued from Page Sixteen) victorious over Merrillville and Cal¬ umet; but they lost several games with the eighth grade team, and lost one game with Lowell. This team was somewhat broken up, due to the fact that Bob Welsh, George Brooks, and Bob Sykora were pro- moted to the high school second team. Later in the year Bob Sy¬ kora was promoted to the tourna¬ ment squad. The school and com¬ munity are expecting great things from these boys in athletics. The 23d of March proved to be a new and exciting experience for our freshmen class. A dance was held in the high school gym, which was beautifully decorated with black and gold paper and balloons. It was both a social and financial suc¬ cess. We have great hopes for our freshmen class as they have shown an excellent school spirit and abil¬ ity to cooperate and “get out and do things.’’ CROWN POINT INKLINGS STUDENT COUNCIL First Row: June Thomoson, Mary Harper.

Each class appointed a student represen ¬ tative for the council. Freshmen—June Thompson. Sophomores— Mary Lou Harper Juniors—Joel Davis Seniors—Carol Root The main reason for organizing the Student Council was to develop better sportsmanship and stimulate better Pep Sessions with the final objective of student government in view. During the different sessions sponsored by the council there were several prominent me n and women of the city and school who address¬ ed the student body: Doctor Tracht Coach Church, Mr. Mybeck, Mrs. Kalen, Mr. K ' rkpatrick, Mr. Pruitt, Mr. Jones, and Supt. Busenburg. The Student Council has always been active in high school affairs, and we hope that from year to yea ' other students will keep up the loyal tradition. The Student Council is planning to recognize better citizenship qualities by awarding two small medals to a boy and a girl chosen from the student body. Duke: “Our neighbor boy is learn¬ ing to play the cornet.” Pruitt: “Rough on the nerves isn’t it, especially when he gets ofi the key?” Duke: “Oh, he hasn’t been on it yet.” Slugger Joe: “Sorry, but you’ll have to be summoned for driving 50 miles an hour.

First Football Game, of Season to be Played Register: Friday afternoon the annual Alumni-High School Football game will be played. Coach Church hat been drilling the boys the last few days, and the light but fast team will do their best to prove their worth. The following men will be ready to play Friday: Collins, Klar¬ kowski, Louis, Weinberg, Wilson, Horst, W. Brown, Mecklenberg Klinefelter, E. Van Denburgh, Sy¬ kora, Purdy, and a host of others In the Alumni lineup will be the following graduates: Don Hender¬ son, Dick Madsen, K. Linton, Bob Volk, M. Stonex, D. Woods, R. Ross, K. Hanniford, D. Andernacht, J. Louis, E. Glover, E. Patterson, E. Henderlong, W. Fifield, D. Harper and J. Kubal. C. P. H. S. Wins from Griffith In their first home game of the season the C. P. H. S. Football team came through with flying colors The gaining of 127 yards from scrimmage to Griffith’s 40 yards gives one an idea of how they drove the visitors back. Crown Point, scored 5 first downs and Griffith CROWN POINT INKLINGS 25 made one. Out of a possible sever | passes. Crown Point completed four while Griffith tried four and com¬ pleted none. Crown Point outplay- j ed their opponents at every stage of the game and won easily by a score of 31 to 0. Crown Point 18—Lowell 0. —Yes, Lowell has a line that | averages about 190 pounds. They have a fast back field, and they have every man of last year ' s squad, but one; but, on the other hand, i was regular fish night, and Church and his men were hungry. When the Red Devils came out and paced up and down the field everyone shook his head. “That is a power¬ ful crew,” people said, little dream¬ ing that the fast eleven from the north would white wash them. Lowell made four first downs, Crown Point two; Lowell was pen¬ alized twenty yards. Crown Point forty. Final score Crown Point 18. Lowell 0, which leaves the Crown Point boys unbeaten and unscored upon. H. S. Loses To Catholic Central Register: The high school team’s record on the gridiron was shattered last Sat¬ urday when the Catholic Central team of Hammond trimmed the locals 13 to 0 in the game at Cen¬ tral’s field. Central had a driving team that gained yardage at will. With the exception of one or two, Crown Point’s punts were not up to their standard. Central had a heavier line and a charging back- field that really went places. Crown Point intercepted several passes but. could not open holes in the line like Central, and their gains around end were difficult. C. P. H. S. Loses to Valparaiso Register: Crown Point High School lost a hard fought game to the Valoara ' v team last Saturday afternoon, with a final score of 25 to 6. Although Valoo outplayed th r locals a good share of the time Crown Point gained seventy-ciglv yards from scrimmage, completed two passes out of four for seventy yards, and scored one touchdown Valpo gained one hundred eight yards from scrimmage, completed two passes out of four for thirty yards, and scored four touchdowns and one point after touchdown. Rensselaer Defeats C. P. H. S. Star: Coach Church’s team was defeat¬ ed by the Rensselaer High School football team at Dunlap field in that city last Saturday afternoon by a score of 20 to 6. “The game was not five minutes old , says the Jasper County Democrat, “untii Rensselaer had scored a touchdown against the Crown Point boys.” Crown Point gained forty-two yards from scrimmage. Rensselaer gained one hundred ten yards. Crown Point made seven first downs while Rensselaer made ten. Crown Point completed five out of four¬ teen passes, Rensselaer completed three out of five. Crown Point gained ninety yards on passes, Rensselaer, one hundred twenty- five yards. C. P. H. S. Loses to Hammond Clarks Star: A George Rogers Clark half back and quarter back combination last Wednesday evening produced a | scoring punch that defeated Crown Point High School on Hammond s | lighted field by a score of 12 to 0. Brenkus, u dash man on the Clark track team, ran wild with the oval on a dozen attempts; but he was unable to score until the last quar¬ ter. Horst, Weinberg, and Wilson, halfbacks and Louis and Christman ends, flung passes all over the field throughout the game for the losers completing 7 out of 12, but were unable to click with their heaves at the critical moment. South Enders Retaliate For Early Season Beating. Star: In a one sided football game—so one sided that Coach Church’s high school lads failed to get over the goal line—the Lowell Highs “romp¬ ed” away with the game at St. Mary’s Field last Friday. The score was 19 to 0, the Lowell aggregation scoring touchdowns in the first, second, and fourth quar¬ ters. A summary of the game discloses that Lowell gained one hundred seventy yards from scrimmage to Crown Point’s sixty yards. Crown Point had four first down and Low¬ ell had fourteen. Lowell complet ed one out of seven passes and Crown Point completed two out of fifteen. Lowell gained five yards on passes. Crown Point eighty-nine yards. C. P. H. S. Underclassmen Defeat Tolleston Star: A football team made up of Crown Point High School under¬ classmen defeated Tolleston 12 to ? last Thursday afternoon at St. Mary’s field. One of the touch¬ downs was made by a pass and a line plunge by Sykora, a freshman who played fullback. The other touchdown was made by Seramur who caught a pass and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. Tolleston s two points were made after Crown Point had held their opponents for four touchdowns on the half yard line. Thus endeth the grand and glor¬ ious game of football for the Crown Point High School Bulldogs for the season of 1934. Mrs. Kalen: “What’s real sales¬ manship?” Swanson: “Selling hair tonic to a ! bald-headed man.” Wheeler: “I thought you were on the water wagon.

George Rogers Clark trimmed the varsity in the final period of the game, after trail¬ ing throughout, 21 to 17. The game was played on Friday and the next night Griffith handed the boys a defeat to the score of 25 to 20. These two defeats at the beginning of the season may mean that the boys will come through with a bang at the close. The varsity, playing in their new red and black suits, lost their first home game and their third of the season to the Goodland five. Both teams showed early season form. Crown Point led at the half 13-7, but at the end of the regular period the teams were tied at 26 all. In the overtime period, the visitors scored one field goal to win the game. The high school quint lost their game to the Froebel team last Fri¬ day by a score of 26 to 20. The Froebel defense was too tight for the Crown Point team to break through, but the game was good experience for the local team and their score shows that they put up a good battle for an early season game. CROWN POINT INKLINGS 27 Register: North Judson defeated the Bull¬ dogs here last Friday evening by pulling the game out of the fire in the closing minutes after Crown Point had come from behind in the j third quarter to lead them 20-19. The half showed North Judson leading 19 to 6. The local boys hi’ their stride in the third quarter and came near upsetting the visitors. In the last quarter, North Judson hit another scoring streak and came through with a final of 34 to 26. The old Alma Mater won their game from the Calumet High School team here Saturday even¬ ing. The locals went through a better rejuvenation. A new line¬ up started the game, and the regu ¬ lars were run as the coach thought they would work best. The Hub took the lead in the second quar ter and maintained it throughout the game, winning by the score of 36-24. In classy bit of play the locals trimmed the Brook High School last Saturday evening. The boys play¬ ed a better brand of ball than they had for some time. They had all of the old time spirit; and the re¬ sults pleased the fans, the team, and the players. The final score was 18-17. Bulletin: The Crown Point High School teams went to Lowell Friday night and trimmed the Crowe men in good style. The varsity wasted no time in getting started for they lit out with a scoring spree that left Lowell wondering what was coming next. By the end of the first quarter, Crown Point had run up a 10-2 lead. The second quarter found the game slowed up a bit. and as a result the score at the half was 12-8. In the last half the boys went in for another drive that continued to the final score of 31-14 In the closing portion of the game substitutes were used by Crown Point and showed that they were capable of holding their own against fair competition. Register: The local varsity lost its game to the Catholic Central team last Saturday evening. The final score was 34-28. It was a rough game for both teams with Central collect¬ ing sixteen ' personal fouls to the local’s six. Nevertheless, the boys came home intact, but minus a vic¬ tory. In a fast rough and .tumble battle, the local team lost its game to the Lew Wallace boys last Fri¬ day evening. The locals trailed through the entire encounter. None of the boys were making their shots and it took the morale of the tean: away. Bulletin: The varsity beat Hobart in one of the most thrilling climaxes that fans have seen in many a day. With the score at 21-14 at the half, it looked as though Hobart would be a victor. At the end of the third quarter, it was 23-20. Then the battle started. Crown Point had been leading with a few seconds to go when a Hobart player made a spectacular shot and tied the score at 30 all. In the overtime period Crown Point won by a score of 34 32. Register: Crown Point High School lost a close game to North Judson last Saturday evening by a score of 24- 19. The locals played a good de¬ fensive game against their taller opponents. The Chesterton team came here last Friday evening to win their game with the local varsity. The Crown Point team had the fire and stamina to hold them the first half, but the later stages of the game found the visitors holding their pace while Crown Point was let¬ ting down. The final score was 28-16. The Red and White clicked Fri¬ day evening when they won their game from Hobart. They slipped in a winning basket in the over¬ time period to win their tilt by a score of 27-25. They worked well together and converted a high per¬ centage of their free throws. The Hub City Bulldogs suffered a defeat at the hands of the Lowell Red Devils last Friday evening. The local lads played a far different game from the one at Lowell where they were an easy victor. The Red Devil’s stamina, and experience stood them in hand when the go- iing was rough. Crown Point was leading at the half 12-10; but com¬ ing back in the last half, Lowell romped away with the game that I closed the season’s schedule by a score of 26-20. TOURNAMENT GAMES Register: j With the annual sectional tour- i ney closing the season of basketball |for the local team Crown Point ! showed a total of six victories and twelve losses for the 1934-35 season. In their first game in the tourney at Valpo last Friday, Crown Point j defeated the Washington Township team by a score of 28 to 16. This brought them into the quarter finals. Meeting Chesterton in their next game, the locals met the same strong competition that they met here on the local hardwood. The final score was 39 to 25. Platt: “Doctor, I feel like killing myself. What shall I do?” Doctor: “Just leave it to me.” Bill Harper: “What’s the matter old man, had a cold?” P ink y- “I’b jub breakigid a doo set ob false teed.” Jim Louis: “I like that girl-- F. O.

THE INFLUENCE OF STEAM HEAT ON MODERN POETRY A essay submitted to the Short- ridge Fiction Club by Lowell Holm es—S. R. 241 B. A glance at the title of this liter¬ ary gem would seem to convince the most skeptical of its worthlessness However, if one wi shes to weigh carefully the subject matter given and does a little research, he would be surprised to find traces of sense He would be amazed at its broaden¬ ing scope. He might even write a doctor’s thesis on it. In view of both opposition and acclaim, I am presenting my humble smattering of knowledge, gleaned from count¬ less hours of sleeplessness. As in modern business relations where there is a stepping stone be¬ tween producer and consumer, there is also such a case in the phase of poetry in which I am interested In business terms it is a retailer or middleman. According to mi- logic the poet is the third party influence. That is to say the poet is the middleman between steam heat and modern poetry. And why is it called “modern poetry ? Simp¬ ly because we are living in an age where yesterday is yesterday, today is today. It is in the poet we are chiefly interested since the poet is a man. and from man both steam heat and verse doth flow. We are always deeply concerned in the workings of the source of the poet’s labors— his imagination. However, we are aware that people need a tonic for their minds, something to in¬ spire them to untold heights. Since inspiration is the keynote of this article, I will cite some examples. Lord Byron swam the Hellespont to awaken his imagination so that he could write a poem about Hero ana Leander. It was only yesterday that in order to sing of the tropics the inspired individual spent months on the dreamy island of Tahaiti in the far off South Seas. That was when prosperity boomed— when people needed books to fill space on musty bookshelves; there¬ by permitting the masters of verse to spend their money and days for inspiration’s sake. Today is the era of the depression poet. So-called because people no longer have space, or make space on their bookshelves for the latest, verse. Yet the composition of verse goes on for art’s sake, and for bread, and butter. No longer do poets go to the tropics for creative impulse Theirs is a plan of efficiency and promotive patriotism, patriotism to the degree of buying American pro¬ ducts only. Inspiration is furnish¬ ed by coal, for coal gives heat; and heat is the main allurement of the tropics. Warmth produces a lazy- languid attitude, the state of min i where thoughts are many, but phy¬ sical labor is absent. With these few sentences the cornerstone of this treatise is laid; from here the mind can capitalize on this idef, and eventually one looks in on a scene like this: The Q uarters of a Depression Poet The atmosphere is heavy, burden ed with strange but pleasant per¬ fumes. Gentle breezes faintly coo! your already dripping forehead There is a swish of leaves as if trees were being swayed by some unseen forces. It is, you say, some magic island in the far-off Pacific; yet at an hasty glance around, you see only a small dingy room with wall paper missing here and there. As an explanation is forthcoming, your host smilingly shows you the contrivances which aid is forming the almost perfect illusion. On the steam radiator there is a pan of water, which, as he explains furnishes humidity and warmth CROWN POINT INKLINGS 23 THE MORRIS 5 10c TO $1 STORE CONGRATULATES THE GRADUATES OF 1935 BUY YOUR GRADUATION GIFTS FROM OUR LARGE VARIETY DEPARTMENTS identical with that of the tropics. In a vase on the table are a very few large wax orchids on which quantities of cut-rate drug store perfume has been poured. Around are other vases of flowers using the same principle. Your eyes search to see where the breezes come from; there in the corner stands a vener¬ able rubber tree concealing an elec¬ tric fan. The rubber tree, you learn, was left by an old lady, a former tenant of the poet’s quart¬ ers. It was this relic of the Vic¬ torian days that produces the sway¬ ing palm effect. The window is covered with a ten-cent store blind on which is painted an orange- disked sun glistening over a blue lagoon. This hides the fact that there is two feet of snow outside. So it is with these simple things, steam heat being all important, that the poet is inspired to write his poems about the tropics Though glowing with enthusiasm, the poet tells you confidentially that the plan has certain defects. At night the humid air condenses with the lowering of the outside temper¬ ature into puddles of water on the floor; this sooner or later trickles down to the apartments below, thus ruffling the calm and peace of the tropical scene. The poet sighs as he recalls former days when he could depend on the sun and its warmth for his inspiration and be¬ moans the fact that his present imitation of nature cannot always be relied upon. Not everyone real izes the importance of steam hea to depression poetry. Far below in the basement tend¬ ing, but somet imes neglecting tht glowing furnace is a man who little knows that he is in no small way contributing to modern literature. If the janitor only knew that the flow of steam to the apartment above inspired countless ideas which the poet turns into wordy rhythm, verses multiplying into books which find themselves event¬ ually in the bookstore window, he would become enthusiastic and with a new outlook on his occupatior would do the work of twenty men No doubt he would even seek the bookstore window to view the by¬ product of his labors; thus inspired to his importance he w ould assume i that self-significant air, worn so effectually by men who realize their self-importance in the realm of economic and social affairs. Elevat¬ ed above the common crowd, no longer just a link in a vast chain, the custodian would become as faithful as nature, and far more convenient, in supplying creative impulse to the depression poet. Suppose the coal merchants and miners also realized the import¬ ance of their product; there would be much more speed in bringing coal out of the earth to the furnace. Fully aware of their responsibilty these workers would forget labor troubles—the strike and the lock¬ out. Peace and harmony would re¬ sult in inspiration individuals work¬ ing hand and glove for the sake of modern poetry. While the poetry of the depression era has the poss¬ ibilities to bring peace and union to its manual contributors, it has not been so fortunate within its own ranks. As there is a labor question in every modern industry, there is also a labor problem in the verse busi ¬ ness. Some of the moneyed poets CROWN POINT INKLINGS have raised a protest asserting that their works are being infringed up¬ on by scab labor. They maintain that depression poets, not having the great overhead to maintain in¬ spiration, can undersell the market While the depression product is of high standard the dissenting part ies claim that the genuine appeal of the poetry is lost. It is not my purpose to take sides in this conflict; but I do wish, for fairness sake, to point out a simil¬ arity of a happening of a genera¬ tion ago. The picture of the young man, nattily dressed riding on a bicycle through the lanes and by - lanes of the beautiful coutnryside, which prompted your father and grandfather, your mother and grandmother, to seek the beauties of nature on a bicycle, was taken ii a small photography shop agains a painted background. Since I have introduced the de¬ pression poet, it is fitting to presen one of his products—a poem written no doubt, under the inspiration of steam heat. By examining any number of weekly and tri-weekly publications, I found a number of poems evidently sent in by depres¬ sion poets. This one was hidden among the want ads, but it’s rhy¬ thm, its meter and subject matte ' show how the poet makes use of steam heat. “INSPIRED CONFIDENCE” Out of a world a million years ago Comes foliage of palm and tropica! growth; Changed is the fresh green to an ebony glow, Brought forth from its sleep to give me warmth. The warmth of the tropics was stor¬ ed away When the ear th was young and new, To come again a tribute to pay With the heat of its flames, red an blue. Others may search for a sunny clime While I remain snug and happy at home, Enjoying a southern atmosphere aged by time, For the rest I just let my Imagina¬ tion roam. The crimson, orange-disked sun is sinking low Swallowed in the haze of a lazy- languid sea; Upon my fevered brow orchid scent¬ ed breezes blow, Bringing with it serenity, peace and calm, to me. In truthfulness I should add that this was used in solicitation for the Cash and Carry Coal Company.) Far be it from me to stray from my original purpose of showing the influence of steam heat on modern poetry, and take a negative view However, it should be clearly under¬ stood that while much has been saiu about the influence of steam heat on modern poety, it is equally true that a great deal can be said on the influence of modern poetry on steam heat.

In other words, he doesn’t believe two can live as cheap as one.) For a long time everybody has been considering Jint and Toby as big game hunters. I, myself consider them the biggest and bravest twerp hunters I hav c . ever seen. Do you girls?
