CROWN POINT INKLINGS SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Some very entertaining, as weil as educational features on our pro¬ gram this year included lectures on magic, health, Indians, and other interesting events . 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.

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
