Two boys, Milton Carl¬ son and Floyd Seramur got letters in their sophomore year. 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.

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

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.’’
