B. E. PRUITT. B. E PRUITT Nappy Landings. The wings of time flew swiftly With the seniors’ school career, And at last we’ve come to realize It’s finale with this year. Oh, we yearned for graduation; And now the time’s at hand To leave the well-known portals For a strange, unchartered land. In bewilderment we try to choose The pathway to perfection, While eagerness Alls every heart To try this new selection. But: Though our walks of life be many, May the winds of fortune reign, With clear skies and happy landings O’er each graduates’ domain. —THELMA PETTIT INKLINGS STAFF Rear: John Hershman, Bernard Wallace, Dick Joyce, John Borchert, Jack Cannon, Bill Brown.

Senior Class History A day in June, 1936 Dear Diary: This afternoon .while disposing of the accumulation of lost and found articles collected, during the school year 1935-36, I came upon a musty dilapidated scrapbook. The grimy cover gave no clue to what it might contain, so I turned to the first page and found the words: “The class of 1936-Freshman activit¬ ies, 1932-33”. Right under this were the colors and motto of the class: “Purple and White To the stars through difficulties.” This dusty thing was evidently a memory book containing mementos of the class’ four years of high school. Nineteen thirty-two, you recall, was ’way back when Lorraine Mar- gison was elected president; Thelma Pettit was vice-president; Viola Heick was secretary; the treasurer, then as now, was Bernard Wallace; and the class sponsors were Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Allman, Mr. Brady, and Mr. Jones. I’ll never forget our first class under Mr. Jones. We were bewildered by his vocabulary, and we even laughed at his jokes! The first thing to catch my glance on the next page was a football ticket. A number of our boys were out for the squad that year; and although they didn’t mean much to the team then, they had become mighty necessary two and three years later. In the upper right-hand corner of the same page was a tag from the “Big Sister Party” that the senior girls gave for us little “freshies;” and when I picked up the book to look at the tag, some¬ thing dropped on the floor. It was a program from the operetta, “Miss Cherryblossom,” in which the fresh¬ man class was very well represent¬ ed (How could anyone forget the geisha girls?) Last of the memen¬ tos on that page was a very green¬ ish green ticket which announced to the public that it would: “Admit Couple to Freshman Dance February 10, 1933” Thus the class of ’36 sponsored its first social activity and made the enormous profit of one dollar and eighty-five cents. In memory of our classmate, George Zurbriggen, who was tak¬ en from us on the last day of our junior year. The next page of souvenirs was titled “Sophomore Activities, 1933- 34”. Bill Brown was president of the class that year, I think; and Marian Anderson was vice-presi¬ dent. Jim Louis was secretary, and John Borchert was made guardian of the treasury. That was the first year that Mr. Pruitt promoted the “Greater Harvest Dinner and Hal¬ lowe’en Carnival.” The king and queen election ballot proclaimed in big red letters: “Sophomore candidates Audrey Smith for queen, Freddie Krull for king.” The “cannon fodder” line of the football squad was well sprinkled with sophomore boys. Several of the boys were on the second team in basketball; and one, Frankie Berg, made the varsity for the open¬ ing games at Hillsboro and Veeders - burg. (I’ll never forget that tragic haircut he got at Hillsboro.) There was a yellow ticket to the Sopho¬ more dance on December 8. 1933. We lost two dollars and forty-five cents that time; but rather than admit failure, we called it a “social success.” On the last page of this section was a program of the op¬ eretta, “The Sunbonnet Girl.” (Continued on Page Twenty-Nine ' 10 INKLINGS Senior Class Officers James Louis—Senior Class Presi¬ dent. There is a reason why Jim is one of the most popular fellows in the entire school, and that reason is probably his continual cheerful¬ ness and helpful participation in many activities.

Cleo Dance—Last year Cleo seemed inclined to desert the class of ’36 for Emerson of Gary; but this year, we’re happy to say she’s back with us again. Mabel Buckley—Mabel may be a bit temperamental at times; but then, find a red-headed girl who isn’t. Girl Reserves. Young Joel Davis—He stands big and dignified as Gibraltar, but oft¬ en breaks out with a bit of dry humor or a convulsive laugh.

Arnold came to us from Catholic Central High in the fall of 1935. Remember that important looking portfolio he carried home with him every night? Hi-Y. Albert Fiegle-—“Sammy” is one of the great C. Y. O. boosters in Crown Point High. He has manag¬ ed to weather the four-year storm of school work and will bid good¬ bye forever this year. Athletic Club.

Her scholas¬ tic standing is. very high, and her sweet shyness only adds to her per¬ sonality. Girl Reserves. Warren Houk—The reed section of the band is going to miss War¬ ren next year. Not only has his musical work been outstanding, but also he has managed to keep his grades high. Hi-Y. Band. Na¬ tional Honor Society.

S., this quiet, good-natured fellow finally found a diversion that he really liked when the horseshoe courts were installed this spring. Athletic Club. Anna Kelsey—Everybody likes Anna Belle. Perhaps it’s her smile, or perhaps it’s “the Irish in her”. Girl Reserves. Crowell Knight—Ever since we | can remember, Crowell has had a I weakness for drawing pictures in I classes; but this habit didn’t pre- I vent him from attaining high I scholastic standing. Band.

Was usually sprawled over, under and ’round three or four seats in the study hall or classroom.

Athletic Club. Band. Harold Wente—This curly-hair¬ ed fellow has spent the last four years stepping lightly about the halls of our school and keeping out of everyone’s way. 16 INKLINGS Senior Prophecy The return of prosperity this Spring didn’t do me much good It’s 1946; and for the past two years I’ve been washing dishes here in Keiser’s Inn! Ah me, such is life. Anna Kelsey is the head waitress. Edith Mathias and Lois Riley were waitresses; but they got so excit¬ ed while serving John Wachter (Socialist Candidate for President) that they spilled hot soup down his back! Mary Abramson has the job now. Awrrk-! Darn that radio! Too bad Bob Bunker perfected tele¬ vision. It doesn’t HELP the broad¬ casts at all. “All right, all right” —well, if it is’nt James Watt, the Major Bowes of 1936—-‘“Slewfoot Sue,” sung by Mrs. B. Brown and Mrs. A. Place.” Ha! I knew them when they were Thelma Pettit and Georgia Hennin. Sylvester Kors, George Laben, and Jack Ross are giving the latest flashes from the Boy Scout world. That announcer’s voice is familiar “Oh, YASE, YASE;” it’s Ray Bjork- lund. C. P. H. S. debate work trained his voice, at least. Clyde Taylor, Albert Fiegle, George Cooper, and Milford Steuer are releasing bellows known to radio fans as “Harlem Harmony” Harmony? “All right, and now the Silly Syncopators.” M’gosh, they call it MUSIC! Jack Cannon is faking “Wabash Blues” on his sax, while Arny Henderlong tickles the ivorys with “Nola,” and John Mecklenberg puffs away on his bass horn, wan¬ dering what a certain orchestra leader thinks of him now! What’s this? Lorraine Margison singing “Runnin’ WILDE.” I won¬ der if Deane agrees ? “The winner: Warren ‘Ted Lewis’ Houk.” I guess I tuned in after he had finished. News flashes by Betty Seberger, Marjorie Muzzall, and Cleo Dance. “Station G-A-B-” etc. They cer¬ tainly ought to be able to get the news first-hand if anybody can. Whhf! Is that an owl, or some¬ body trying to sing? Oh, am I em¬ barrassed! It’s m’fran’, Wilma “Toddy” Trump, better known as “Sournote Sue, the Songster.” She’s singin, “I Found a Million Dollar Baby in a 5 10c Store.” Well--’ Marie Mikuta, Ella Hofferber, and Ida Lerch will now explain an Algebra problem sent in by Ein¬ stein’s grandson. I couldn’t find a better excuse to turn off the radio! Boyd Seramur is “king of his greasy domain” around here. With him as chief cook, no wonder there’s such a demand for Anderson’s An¬ tidote for All Ailments. Marian certainly coined money on that in ¬ vention. What a coincidence: she just came in with another charm¬ ing young lady. It’s Aimee Parry. Aimes models for Coldblatt’s Colos¬ sal Clothing Company. I hear she’s quite a hit. Myrl Peterson (alia? “Miss Information”) shows the cus¬ tomers around the shop. Joe Weinberg, who abandons his school days forever this spring, is doing a flying trapeze act out in the lunch room. He swings, misses the bar, grabs for the chandelier oooh! Joe and the chandelier plopped down right on top of Joel Davis, who was delivering today ' s supply of eggs. What a mess! M’gosh, who’s that laughing? Sounds like a thunder-storm. Oh, it’s Ruth “Kelly” Scblueter. She writes continued stories (and they’re enough to finish anybody) for Borchert’s Bodacius Bugville Bugler. John is putting his paper over in a big way. Dick Joyce has the Pernicius Pun column. Audrey Smith has a column in the Bugler, too. In fact, she has proved her¬ self indispensable to John! Fred Krull and Kenneth Hamil¬ ton have taken time out for a bowl of chili “away from the clamor and hammer and riot.” (Their wives kicked them out!) What, another vaudeville? It’s Alys Frame this time. She’s on the road to fame; although they say that when .she made her debut tan-dancing, she gathered enough fruit and vegetables to live on for , two weeks! Speaking of dancing, Ralph Can¬ non (disguised as a girl) trips the light fantastic with Elmer Gard, the Don Juan of the ballroom. They’re certainly increasing- the popularity of the tango. Four young men are seated at a corner table. Bill Harper’s a p’lice- man; but he’s off-duty, helping John Hershman trace his family tree. Aided by Roland Lisius and Crowell Knight, renowned rival lawyers, they’ve discovered that many generations ago, two or three of John’s ancestors were throwing cocoanuts at each other! Mabel Buckley, Kathryn Deitrich, and Lillian Fritch have been arg¬ uing about malted-milk flavors for he last half-hour. Who’s the forlorn-looking feller suckin’ milk through a straw? Jim Louis! My, how he’s changed since he lost all of his teeth. And he was going to be a dentist! Harold Wente, Bill Ford, Morris Heldt, and Rufus Kara are enjoy- ! ng a glass of water and a tooth ■lick after canvassing the town all day with tickets to Lawrence Toomey’s latest picture, “Love ’Em and Leave ’Em”. Lawrence is just another Clark Gable. There are Viola Heick, Helen Howe, Elizabeth Steinman, and Marie Neises. They have swell jobs with “Darn ’Em and Scaley’s” cir¬ cus. Elizabeth and Marie hold a cement block on Viola’s head while Helen socks the block with a mallet. Carolyn Johnson has a job there, too. She’s a tight-rope walker, and does she wow ’em! Jack Heide’s experience in his dad’s store comes in pretty handy; he belos Bob Kolar sell tickets in front of the tent. Where’s that silly giggling com¬ ing from? Oh, Pranklvn Ber� Bernard Wallace, and Bill Brown just came in. The giggle belongs to Frank, who has beeen on a five- year vacation because of competi¬ tion. (I mean he was trying t. make bank notes like those th Government makes!) Bill, now (Continued on Page Eighteen) INKLINGS 17 Last Will and Testament We, the class of nineteen hund¬ red thirty-six, being in a state of semi-consciousness from four years of overwork and headin’ for the last roundup on May 22, do hereby bequeath the following stuff to those beloved children, the under¬ classmen: Warren Houk leaves his blissful evenings with his own “Mae West” to Bob Youkey.

In this space it is impossible to list every achievement and success¬ ful activity of the class, but one thing especially worthy of mention is the Junior Class Play, “Grow¬ ing Pains,” staged on March 27. In producing “Growing Pains” the juniors ventured, under the able direction of Miss Evelyn Richey, the first class play in Crown Point SENIOR PROPHECY (Continued from Page Sixteen! known as “Swingbad, the Sailor”, Junior Class j High in two years; and it was a huge success, both dramatically and financially.

As someone once said “The freshman doesn’t know that he doesn’t know, but the sophomore knows that he doesn’t know.” The class of ’38 has come through its Sophomore year with colors fly¬ ing. To every event the Sopho¬ mores contributed that peppiest of cheer leaders, Becky Lamson, and more than their share of enthus¬ iastic support. For the past two years the Queen of the Hallowe’en Carnival has been chosen from this class. In 1934 it was Fern Purdy, and last year Dorothy Platt carried off the honors. One Sophomore, Bob Sykora, was for two years the hardest working. hardest fighting back on the foot¬ ball squad. Welsh, Golden, Brooks, and Wagner have shown much abil¬ ity on the hardwood, and are good prospects for the next two years. The Sophomores are sometimes rough, and sometimes noisy. But that may well be overlooked; be¬ cause whenever we need a lot of pep and enthusiasm to put over an activity, we turn to the class of ’38.

Freshman Notes This year’s freshman class has proved itself more than merely “an¬ other bunch of kids” trying to ad¬ just themselves to high school. Not many days passed after the opening of school last September beforg. members of the Class of ’39 were beginning to make them¬ selves noticed, the girls no less— though in perhaps a different man - ner—than the boys. Herman Knesek provided one- hundred fourteen pounds of valu- ( able noise and scrap on the grid- ! iron; and one of his backfield com ¬ panions, the team’s speed-merchant ; was another freshman, John Lam ¬ phier. These two along with Bob Briggs, who played the entire 1935. : 36 season as one of the regulars on the varsity, and Wilbur Hoshaw, showed great basketball possibil- | ities. Jim Haniford, also, was a I letter man in football. Not only has the class of 1939 contributed more varsity athletic material than any other freshman class in several years; but through Dick Hill, Clarence Veach, Dick Nichols, and Bob LaCroix, it has literally cornered the drum section of the band. Continuing for the next three, years under such excellent sponsors as they were given during the past year, this group can become one of the school’s outstanding senior classes. � ■«« 1 9 ?

Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y club of Crown Point was organized on December 3, 1935. The purpose of this club is “to create, maintain, extend through¬ out the school and community high standards of Christian character.” Their slogan is “clean speech, clean iiving, clean sports, and clean scholarship”, and the Hi-Y club has attempted during the past year, to uphold their purpose and slogan by sponsoring various activities. To¬ gether with the Girl Reserves, they sponsored Courtesy Week, March 9 to 13. They have attended various older boys’ conferences at Valparai¬ so and East Chicago, and are plan¬ ning to send a delegate to the Na¬ tional Hi-Y Congress at Berea, Ken¬ tucky, in June of this year. They obtained money for their treasury by maintaining a check room at all school activities at the Commun¬ ity Building. The organization is sponsored by Ralph M. Jones and the officers for this year are as follows: Warren Houk, president; Kenneth Hamilton, vice-president; George Laben, treasurer; Crowell Knight, secretary. It has been quite some time since Crown Point has had a Hi-Y and we are certainly happy again to sponsor so fine an organization. In view of the good work done this year and the brilliant opportunity for raising of Christian standards in Crown Point in future years, we of the class of ’36 wish the Hi-Y the best of luck in carrying out its good work. Ethel Mae S.: Mother, you know that valuable old vase that you said had been handed down from generation to generation? Mother: Yes, dear. Ethel Mae: Well, this generation has dropped it.

Bottom Row: Mary Scull, Marjorie Frame, Georgia Carroll. Debate Squad Has Successful Year For the fix-st time in several years, under the leadership of our very efficient dramatics and speech teacher, Miss Evelyn Richey, Crown Point High School had a debate squad during 1935-36. Try-outs were open to all high school English students after which the following squad was chosen: Ray Bjorklund, who was elected captain, Jack Heide, Georgia Carroll, Marjorie Frame, Mary Scull, Dick Joyce, and Norman Kaper. In the final lineup the two teams were organized with Ray Bjorklund and Jack Heide as the negative team and Marjorie Frame and Georgia Carroll as the affirmative team. To win a place on the squad means that a student has shown superior ability and exhibited unusual intellectual ca¬ pacity, and if he is not already a leader in his school, he will find his debate experience a valuable method of developing his personal¬ ity. At the beginning of the season the debate squad joined the Indi¬ ana State Debating League; and after a triangular debate with Griffith and Merrillville, they won the district tourney. They tied with Clark of Hammond in the sec¬ tional tourney for the right to com¬ pete in the state tournament at North Manchester but lost to Clark in a second debate. This spring Crown Point High School was issued a charter in the National Forensic League, a nation¬ al fraternity for outstanding high school debaters and speakers. Five members are eligible for member¬ ship to the society as a result of their successful work in the debate squad this year. Ray Bjorklund won the third degree of member¬ ship, called the degree of excel¬ lence; Georgia Carroll, Marjorie Frame, and Jack Heide have won : the second or honorary degree; and Dick Joyce lacked only a few points : of winning the first or degree of merit. j Since this was the first year of experience for all of them, they are to be highly complimented on their unusual success which has made it possible to have debate as a curricu¬ lar subject next year with full credit. With this in mind we are looking forward to a more success¬ ful season next year; and, to quote Miss Richey, “We hope we can represent C. P. H. S. even in the state tournament.” Debate Schedule Neg.

This organization was formed at I the beginning of the first semester in September, 1935, for the purpose of promoting various athletic activ¬ ities and good sportsmanship and to revive interest in athletics in Crown Point High School. Officers elected for the fall semester were: Wilford Brown, president; John Hershman, vice-president; and Jim Of outstanding importance in the extra-curricular program inaugur¬ ated in Crown Point High during the past school year are the club organizations. These groups, or¬ ganized by the students under the sponsorship of a selected faculty member and chartered by the stud¬ ent council, are representative of the school’s various departments of activity and instruction. The Athletic Club and Hi-Y for Athletic Club Louis, secretary. Paul Church was sponsor of the club. No changes were made in the administration for the second semester, but Mr. Lindley became the club’s sponsor following the resignation of Mr. Church. The Athletic Club was responsible for a number of events, the most important and by far the most boys and the Girl Reserve organ- | ization undertake to promote the principles of good sportsmanship and Christian ideals in the student body. Members of the Symphony Club, led by Mr. Ready, devote their time chiefly to music appreciation: and through its C. P. H. S. chap ter the Future Farmers of America offers to agriculture students the opportunity for greater enjoyment and benefit from the agriculture successful of which was the class basketball tourney held in the latter part of March. The purposes of the group are good ones, and there is need for such a club in the school. Next year, with a well-organized extra¬ curricular program, the Athletic Club should be one of the most active and worth-while organiza¬ tions. course. Throughout the year these five organizations could always be depended upon to do their share in boosting every worth-while activ- jity. _ Pruitt: Have you got change for a dollar?

STAFF OF THE 1936 INKLINGS The editing of the 1936 Inklings has been carried out on a somewhat different plan than in previous years. John Borchert was appointed Eclitor-in-Chief by the president of the junior class in the spring of 1935. Working with him on the staff this year were eleven seniors and one junior. Bill Brown acted in the capacity of advertising manager and was also in charge of the sales cam¬ paign. Scandal was collected by Frank Berg and John Hershman, and Bernard Wallace was respons¬ ible for the athletic writeups. The Senior Class History was written by Audrey Smith; Joel Davis and Dick Joyce were in charge of the Will; the Prophecy is the work of Helen Patterson: and Barbara Heide compiled the Calendar. The latter five members of the staff, along with Ruth Scblueter. were responsible for the club and other extra-curricular writeups; and the typing was done almost entirely by Ruth Schlueter and Audrey Smith. Also, we wish to take this oppor¬ tunity to thank Georgia Hennin and Lorraine Margison for their assistance in the typing of some of the copy for the annual. The class poem was written by Thelma Pettit, and the jokes were collected from various sources by Jack Cannon. The staff has sincerely tried to turn out an annual that the Class of ’36 may be proud of. BRIGHT SAYINGS OF LITTLE CHILDREN. “All misery is due to over-popu- ation. You know the old saying, ‘Misery loves company’.” (Freddie Krull). “Now, Kenny, you stop teasing me.” (Jane Smith). “Oh, Bob, I didn’t know you were coming over to-night!” (Marian Anderson). “Thank you for the gum, Jim. ’ Aimee Parry). “Electoral colleges are schools of training for people who .wish to hold offices.” (Bill Ford). “Oh, she’ll wait.” (Donald Pettit) “If Arny was only as good-look¬ ing as his pictures. I wouldn’t have to go einie, meinie, minie, mo any more (perhaps).” (Thelma Pettit “Oh, I just love medals, Deanie- weanie.” (Lorraine Margison). “But I hurried just as fast as I could, Mr. Pruitt.” (Carolyn John¬ son.) “When someone calls you on the lelephone, what is the courteous and correct thing to say, John Hershman?” “Hello.” _” (Marie Mikuta.) “Did you hear that the White Sox beat the Cubs in the city series?

The Symphony Club was organ¬ ized last September with June Thompson as president, Marilyn Shisler, as vice-president, Marjorie Frame as secretary, and Alice Whitehead as program committee chairman. The following constitution was compiled and presented to the stud¬ ent council for cerification: We hereby respectfully petition the Student Council of Crown Point High School for permission to form the following music club, the aims and purposes of which are as fol¬ lows: Aims and Purposes: 1. To study both life and work of s everal of the most famous com¬ posers, both past and present. 2. To increase the general music appreciation of both those who are Symphony Club members and those indirectly con cerned. 3. To hear fine music properly performed. This is to be perform¬ ed by more talented members of the club, and on occasion to import outstanding talent in our commun¬ ity. 4. To spend some time in dis¬ cussion on present day trends in music, as compared to the tradi¬ tional. 5. To do our small bit of furth - ering the music and learning more of the lives of our own great American musicians, rather than to pursue the study of foreign musi¬ cians to the total neglect of our own. This club shall, if permission is granted for its organization, be known as the High School Sym¬ phony Club. Many of their programs were phonograph recordings with explan¬ atory notes by Mr. Ready, the club sponsor. They also had programs featuring instrumental solos by various members of the group. The second semester the club elected Ruth Kammert president, Leonella Fischer secretary, and June Thompson program committee chairman. They studied something of the lives of several composers and had recordings to illustrate the particular composer being studied at that time. This club is responsible for donat¬ ing 14 copies of the “Etude” maga¬ zine to the school library. Mr. Ready is hoping for a larger and better club next year, to carry on the good work. Mrs. Seamonson: Well I finally found out where my husband has been spending his evenings. Miss Blackstone: How did you manage it? Mrs. Seamonson: Oh, I simply stayed home last night and there he was!

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page Nine) Freddie Krull, always the romantic Romeo, had a role in this master¬ piece; and .many other sophomores were in the chorus. “Junior Class 1934-35 Ray Bjorklund, president Audrey Smith, vice-president Fred Krull, secretary-treasurer’’ As in the previous year, Mr. Lutz, Mrs. Allman, and Miss Krueger were i the class sponsors. Mr. Jones dir¬ ected another King and Queen, election at the Carnival that year, Lorraine Margison anG Bill Brown were the candidates from our class, and Bill was made king of the cele ¬ bration. Carolyn Johnson as Signora Tin-1 tinetto, Freddie Krun as Guido, “mah hero,” and Jim Louis as Sig¬ nor Amoto Reni, were in the cast; and many other juniors were in the chorus of the operetta, “The Sing¬ er of Naples,” according to the program which came next. There were four football tickets on this page, too. Say! That was a con- incidence; four juniors earned let¬ ters in football that year. “Admit One ‘Caravan’ February 20, 1935 Sponsored by Junior Class, C. P. H. S.” were the words printed on another j ticket, but they didn’t tell half the story. Our profits on that picture j shattered all previous records and, | meant the difference between a j {junior-senior potluck and a iunior- j senior banquet. Remember the I “Wine Song” from “Caravan” and how it haunted our school for days? I We were so encouraged by our suc¬ cess that we ventured another dance early in May; and again we broke precedent, making a profit of ten dollars, or something like thah I’ll never forget how we worked to make that dance a success! The orchestra was made up almost en- ' irely of seniors who donated their services. The last souvenir of our junior year was the dance program from that nautical affair, the banquet and prom. The seniors had been a. litle worried about the kind of re ¬ ception they’d get. They thought, the situation looked somewhat “fishy” ’cause we had only a little j over one hundred dollars in the I hold; but when they saw the elab¬ orate banquet tables and heard tho music of the orchestra, all their worries were cast aside. “Senior Activities, 1935-36” was the last title, and the story behind those words embraced three labor¬ ious years. In a class meeting just as disorderly as the first one of our freshman year, we cnose Jim Louis to pilot us through our last year of high school. Marian Anderson was elected vice-president, Fred Krull was put in charge of the records, and Bernard Wallace was made chancellor of our meager treasury. Mr. Lutz and Miss Krueger were the class sponsors. Eight seniors held important places on the football squad, and ! several made the varsity in basket - ball. One senior. Bill Brown, was I captain of both the football and basketball squads and one of the school’s outstanding athletes. Ath- | Istios wasn’t the only activity in ; which members of our class were outstanding.

Having presented five free concerts, which were well attended, it made no less than twenty other public appearances. At three of the con¬ certs, we had the pleasure of hear¬ ing the band conducted by three guest conductors; Richard Maddei. of Lowell, Adam Lesinski of Whit¬ ing, and R. V. Roessler from Horace Mann of Gary. Our band has increased in size ; by 64 ' during this last year and j has added a new Baritone Saxa- | phone to its already long list of fine I instruments. This addition was made possible through the Band Mothers’ organization which has been very helpful in co-operating with our new and very competent director, Mr. E. R. Ready. Three hundred people attended the opening of the new Band Port¬ able, which is one of the finest in Indiana, on the 15th of April. There was special music by the Na¬ tional Contest winners from Hobart and Whiting and the Clarinet Quar¬ tet from Lowell. The Band and twelve soloists en¬ tered the District Contest at La- Porte in April where the band and most of the soloists placed in sec¬ ond division. They aje contem¬ plating entering the Chicagoland Music Festival in August.

Special Choral Groups These special groups are made up of selected voices from the high school choir. Each organization has a rehearsal hour after school once each week. The two Triple Trios and the Boys’ Ensemble pro¬ vided musical programs for various organizations and for events where it would have been impossible to accommodate such a large group as the high school cho ir. During the past year they have furnished musical programs for both the annual art exhibit and regular meetings of the Woman ' s Club; they assisted in the programs presented as a part of National Education Week; and they have appeared before local church organ¬ izations and sororities. The Girls’ Triple Trio, originally organized during the school year of 1934-35, was reorganized during the past year with the following per¬ sonnel : First Sopranos: Helen Patterson, Wilma Trump, Gladys Liffick. Second Sopranos: Mary Lou Harper, Barbara Heide, Georgia Carroll. Altos: Elizabeth Rettig, June Thomp¬ son, Ruth Schlueter. The Boys’ Ensemble, which was formerly a double quartet, was also reorganized this year and enlarged to an ensemble of eleven members. The boys who sing in this group First Tenors: Leslie Conquest. Fred Krull, Robert LaCroix. Second Tenors: Thomas Adkins, Ray Bjorklund, Jack Heide. First Basses: Bill Howe, James Louis, Edward Luke. Second Basses: Joel Davis, James Wagner.

DISASTER MARKS ’35 GRID SEASON. About thirty boys responded for daily workouts on the school field on West North Street when in early August of 1935, Coach Church issued the first call for football practice. Ten men. Louis, Hersh¬ man, Mecklenberg, Brown, Borch¬ ert, Danks, Christman, Klinefelter, Hartung, and Sykora, had previous varsity experience; but the squad PAUL CHURCH as a whole needed experience bad¬ ly. The season opened September fourteenth at Griffith; and the Panthers upset the dope on a burn¬ ing, dust-choked gridiron to hand Crown Point the first in its string of defeats, 13 to 2. A powerful Lowell eleven humbled the Bull¬ dogs 36 to 0 under the lights at Oakland Field on the following Fri¬ day night; and on September thirt¬ ieth they were again trampled und¬ er foot by Catholic Central, 26 to 0. The latter contest was the first to be played under the floodlights at Saint Mary’s Field and the Bull¬ dog’s first appearance at home. The crowd was very well satisfied with the lighting system, but the performance of the team was not nearly as satisfactory. The Crown Point ooys played their hearts out at Kentland on the following Friday evening, only to have several “boners” result in a discouraging 14-0 setback. All previous records were shat¬ tered October eleventh when the still inexperienced C. P. H. S. squad went completely to pieces falling 40 to 0 before a Rensselaer machine that clicked perfectly and moved like lightning. A bruising Hobart aggregation outweighing Crown Point twenty pouncrs to the man invaded the Hub on October nine¬ teenth expecting a pushover. Al¬ though our team again lead with its chin, the game was not nearly as lopsided as the 21-0 score made it appear. The final game of the season was played on the first day of November the day after everyone had enjoy¬ ed himself at the Hallowe’en carni¬ val. The squad sank to new depths in the first half of the game, allow- (Continued on Page Thirty-Eight) K)4t 1 9 3 6 � o 34 INKLINGS BASKETBALL SQUAD Top Row: Mr. Pruitt, Brown.

Basket Ball With the football season com¬ pleted, Coach Church led his charg¬ es into the Community Gym. The following boys reported for prac¬ tice: F. Seramur, M.

Carl¬ son, Hamilton and Nassau. For two weeks these boys practiced for j the opener with George Rogers j Clark here on November 15th. The first game of the season was won by the Pioneers by the score of 33 to 27. This game was a dou¬ ble overtime encounter and was a very exciting one for the fans to. watch. Earlier that evening the ! second team lost to Clark’s second j team by the score of 17 to 18. 1 he next night the squads mo-, j tored to Griffith. This time the reserves won their game 17-16, but l the varsity was defeated for the second time in as many nights. The score was 24-18. On Wednesday, November 20th, j the Crown Point five journeyed to Merrillville for what was supposed to be a practice sesssion for the local school, but it turned out just the reverse. Merrillville’s varsity defeated the Hub City varsity 24- 12, while the Hub City reserves bested their opponents by a 15-10 score. On Friday evening, November 22, the varsity made a long journey to Goodland, and the next week end Crown Point was host to the Froe- bel High teams of Gary. Goodland leading at half-time 24-4, drubbed the Bulldogs 38-12. The varsity also lost to Froebel 41-21, and the reserves were defeated in a thriller 19-17. The next game on the schedule came on December 6th with North Judson. North Judson proved a little too strong for lue locals and defeated them 33-25, but the re¬ serve squad again came through and defeated Judson 20-15. The week end games of December 13th and 14th were played with Chesterton and Remington. In the preliminary game on Friday even¬ ing Crown Point’s reserves were de ¬ feated by Chesterton 21-11. But this time the varsity performed in I great style to score their first win of the season, defeating Chesterton 48-24. The Bulldogs chalked up j their second win on Saturday even- I ing when they defeated Remington 19-12. j The following Friday evening, ! December 20, the teams journeyed i to Knox and were defeated by the 1 9 3 6 •() • INKLINGS 35 overwhelming score of 39-17. In the curtain-raiser the Knox reserv¬ es defeated the Crown Point sec¬ onds 24-21. The next game was played here on January 3rd with Lowell. After holding a 15-10 lead at half-time, Crown Point lost to their ancient rivals 36-19, scoring 4 points to their opponents 26 in the last half. Earlier that evening the Hub City subs defeated Lowell 37-30. On January 11th Brook came here confident of victory, but Crown Point came out on top 39-16, only to be handed a 37-15 licking on the following week end by an older and much more experienced Hobart five. The reserves were also defeated by Hobart 25-14. This game marked the final appearance of Paul Church as coach of a Crown Point High School athletic team. He re¬ signed his position after the Ho¬ bart game. On January 24th Principal B. E. Pruitt first acted in the capacity of coach. Under his guidance, the varsity trimmed Rensselaer 29-21, and the seconds scored another win, 19-13. On Saturday evening the squads motored to Gary to play Lew Wal¬ lace. The varsity was defeated by i taller, smoother working combin¬ ation 33-18, but the Hub City subs won easily by a score of 34-15. The next game of the season was played with Chesterton here on January 31st. The varsity won its game easily by a score of 34-23, and second team defeated Chester¬ ton’s subs 32-14. On February 7 Hobart came to Crown Point to play for the victory ball, a trophy awarded by the Gary Post Tribune to the outstanding i secondary high school team of Lake County. When Hobart came to! Crown Point they had this trophy in their possession and took it home again after defeating Crown Point 29-18. The contest was a thriller, with the score at half-time knotted 9-9. The Crown Point freshmen defeated the Hobart freshmen 24-12 Crown Point was defeated 29-25 in a close game at Flora on Febru¬ ary 14h, and the following week end the Hub City squads iourneyed to I Lowell, where they were again de¬ feated by their old rivals in a fast and furious contest, the final score being 32-28. The Lowell reserves fell before the C. P. H. S. seconds, 23- 18. The season’s final game was play¬ ed at Knox. Knox doubled the score on Crown Point earlier in the sea¬ son but this time things were dif¬ ferent. The Bulldogs ended the season in a blaze of glory. The varsity trounced its opponents 34-23 and the reserves won their game 24- 20. During the year the reserv¬ es won ten games while dropping five. Following is the personel of the • 1935-36 varsity: Captain Bill Brown played a guard position during the year. Bill was one of the regular five and managed to get his share of the points during each game. He is a senior and has played his last game for Crown Point High. Floyd Seramur was the regular center during the year. He was the high point man of many games and was picked on the all-tourna¬ ment team at East Chicago in March at the conclusion of sec¬ tional play there. Re is a junior and still has one more year to play. Milton Carlson, also a member of the starting five, played guard. He did some very commendable work in guarding and also hit the basket from ’way out several tim¬ es during nearly every game. Mil- ton is a junior. Oscar Mills played regular for¬ ward during 1935-36. He joined the squad in December and became a regular immediately after his arrival. Pivot shots were his spec¬ ialty and he’ll be back again next year to make some more of them. Glen Christman, a senior who olayed forward, was the fifth mem¬ ber of the starting five until he droroed out of school in February. With Glen gone, Bob Briggs be¬ came the other regular forward. Bob is very fast on his feet and is the first freshman in several years to become a regular on the varsity. Kenneth Hamilton was a mem¬ ber of the varsity throughout the season and although he did not start games he subbed for the reg¬ ulars several times and came thru in fine style. Kenneth is a senior. Bob Golden was also a sub on the varsity. He started in several games and as a forward showed ai times a good scoring eye. Bob is a sophomore and still has two years to play. Leslie Conquest, a junior, played throughout the year on the varsity and in several instances relieved the center. Lawrence Toomey started the year at a regular forward position but was inj ured in one of the first games and did not get to play again until the season was nearly over. Lawrence is a senior and has play¬ ed his last game for Crown Point- Morris Heldt, another senior, play¬ ed on the second team during the fore part of the season, but in the last few gamse of the year and in the tourney he was a member of the varsity because of his fine show¬ ing on the second squad. And last but not least Clifford Henderson, who was sub on i h - varsity during the entire season. Clifford played guard and will be back next year as he is a junior. Foremost among the players on the second team who will bear watching next year and in future years are: Hoshaw and Herman Knesek, freshmen; Brooks and Welsh, sophomores; and Anderson, a junior. The varsity did not have a very successful year. They won 6 gam¬ es while losing 13 in season nlav and in the tournament won their first game from Griffith 26-20, but were defeated by George Rogers Clark in the semi-finals 30-23. Next year Seramur. Mills, Carl¬ son, Briggs, Golden, Henderson, and Conquest will be back, too, for the nucleus of .the varsity, .and together with Hoshaw. Knesek, Anderson, Welsh, and Brooks, the squad should win a great majority of their games. Morris H.: I heard you got in the show last night on a child’s ticket. Wachter: Sh!

According to a program from the speech department’s play, “New Fires,” presented in November of nineteen thirty-five, important rol¬ es were taken by Ray Bjorklund, Ruth Schlueter, Georgia Hennin, Alys Frame, Lorraine Margison, Tack Cannon, John Hershman. Helen Patterson, Elizabeth Stein- mann, Wilma Trump, and Audrey Smith.

We sponsored the most successful dance in our four high school years on January 3, 1936. That was after the first Lowell basketball game and a large crowd was celebrating the victory—for Lowell. In the spring when we needea money to help finance the ‘36 edi¬ tion of the “Inklings”, we sponsored “The Bride Comes Home”, a movie based on the Crown Point Marriage Mill. On the last page were the “sacred three;” the program from the jun¬ ior-senior banquet and prom, the baccalaureate service, and the commencement exercise. That was the end. I certainly am glad I stumbled onto that book!

The final score was 25 to 0. Eight seniors made their last ap¬ pearance for Crown Point High School that night; and with ming¬ led emotions of joys and sorrow, they stood under the ill-smelling streams of sulphur water after the game and for the last time in their high school careers cleansed themselves of the honorable mud of the gridiron. In spite of the fact that they took seven consecutive whippings, the Bulldogs always came back fighting Harder than ever; and there was never a sign of demoral¬ ization. With next year’s prospects much brighter, we all hope for a successful season next fall. Jim L.: I haven’t the courage to tell your father of my debts. Elizabeth R.: What cowards you men are.

WESTERMAN QUALITY MERCHANDISE PHOENIX HOSIERY TUBBY OR NOT TUBBY, THAT IS THE QUESTION Calories—calories, one by one Mount to haunt me, when day is done. Those who recognize my pompous figure realize that it was not from over-exercise and under-eating that I gained these rolls of fat that surround my small boned body. I am a perfect illustration of that fickle ingredient which is inherent in all humanity and is called human nature. For example: unless a pork¬ er is exceedingly corpulent he is not considered a prime beast. But when a descendant of the homoni- dae becomes the least bit fleshy, he is spurned by his fellow man and is called dull, bulky, and obese. This is only one of our trials and tribulations, but it is the keystone. Because we are afraid of what our friends will say, we who are stout spend an endless amount of time and money to get clothes that make us appear thin. Then too, there are the gluttonous appetites which we invariably have. Every time we pass a restaurant, we are prompted to stop and devour large portions of rich, fattening foods. The mere mentioning of ham, potatoes, macaroni, chicken, steaks, and mince pie drives us frantic with hunger. When on a diet, we dare not even look at a magazine because advertisers are prone to exhibit pictures of luscious cakes, Christmas puddings, malted milks, steaming soups, and well- stuffed turkeys. But there is one more straw, and this one breaks our moral, hope, and pride all in one blow. The straw I have reference to is the laugh of disdain, the reproachful words, or the scornful glance we receive from one of the fairer sex for our efforts at affection. Ah!
