INKLINGS 27 FUTURE FARMERS Top Row: James Roll. Ed. Luke. Allan Danks. Mr. Lutz. Charles Van Denburgh, Clayton Ziese, Gus Wirtz. Row II: Wilbur Fiegle Harry Wagonblast, John Parvzek. Clyde Witt. Paul Farster. Charles Lewis. 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.

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?

INKLINGS MUSIC CLUB Rear: Elizabeth Schieser, Marjorie Frame, LaVerne Hack, Emma Neimeyer, Ruth Thompson, Marilyn Shisler, Jeanette Condon, Ruth kammert, Jean Collins, Irma Nerge. Front: Martha Whitehead, June Thompson. Elvera Cox, Pauline Henderson, Annabelle Luke, Evelyn Fiegle, Leonella Fisher. 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! You can always tell a senior By his strut around the town: You can always tell a junior By his foolish looking frown You can always tell a soph By his collar, tie and such You can always tell a fresh But you cannot tell him much. Joel: That girl insulted me. Heide: No. Joel: Yes, she asked me if I danc¬ ed. Heide: What’s insulting about that? Joel: I was dancing with her at the time.
