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. Clerk (showing Collins some golf Pruitt: “Johnny, why are you s ' stockings): “Wonderful value, sir. late this morning ” Worth double the money. Lates John Louis: (breathlessly) “If pattern, fast colors, hole proof you please, Mr. Pruitt, we tuned in won’t shrink, and it’s a good yarn ; on a Western station last even .:: Collins: “Yes, and very well told”, and Mother set the clock by it.” Vernon Hoshaw has found that love is still just around the cor¬ ner, and Jim Williamson is the edi¬ tor of the Lovelorn Column in “Mid-Night Moon”. 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. Bill Platt: “It’s all wrong about the Irish being such good fighters Co’lins: “Really” Bill Platt: “Yes, last week my cousin and I and two other chaos almost knocked an Irishman silly. ’

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. The junior nominees for King and Queen this year were Lorraine Mar- (Continued on Page Twenty)
