CLASS OF 37 PRESENTS THE BULLDOG DEDICATION TO OUR FRIEND AND ADVISOR WHOSE GUIDANCE AND UNTIRING PATIENCE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN OUR MEM¬ ORIES AS AN INSPIRATIONAL GOAL. RALPH M. JONES YOUR HIGH SCHOOL HAS GIVEN YOU A CHANCE TO SEE AND WORK TOWARD HIGH STAND¬ ARDS OF CHARACTER AND ACHIEVEMENT. IF YOU WOULD REALIZE THE POSSIBILITIES WHICH ARE YOURS, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT AS YOU REACH EACH NEW GOAL OR STANDARD IT BECOMES A STEP WHICH LIFTS YOU SO THAT YOU CAN SEE ANOTHER HIGH¬ ER GOAL TO BE ATTAINED. SCHOOL DAYS SHOULD TRAIN YOU TO EDUCATE YOURSELF AFTER YOU HAVE GRADUATED. I FEEL THAT YOUR DEDICA¬ TION OF THE 1937 BULLDOG- TOGETHER WITH THE CHANCE TO KNOW YOU AND WORK WITH YOU — HAS MADE MY EXPERIENCE IN CROWN POINT RICHER THAN IT COULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN. MAY YOUR FUTURE FULFILL THE PROMISE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL WORK HAS SHOWN. Five FREDERICK G. LISIUS, L. L. B. Secretary of the Board Valparaiso University AARON T. LINDLEY, A. B., A. M.

BIXENMAN President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year 1933, eighty-five fresh¬ men started the four year climb up the ' Mountain of Learning. Our motto was “Not to the top, but still climbing”. MiSs Holland, Mr. Church and Miss Wright were the guides for this trip. We were going to plant a blue and silver flag at our goal and present the victor with our class flower, the tea rose. The leaders on the first-year climb were Georgia Carroll, Eugene Cook, Homer Randolph, Phyllis Burroughs, and Dick Calvin. Other “climbers” were also prominent on that trip: Mary Lou Harper and Milton Carlson were elected freshman king and queen; and Mary Scull, Georgia Carroll, and Barbara Heide were cast in the operetta, “Sun- bonnet Sue”. Our only activity that year took place when we stopped at a wayside inn and sponsored a dance. The only thing to sadden the first part of our climb was the death of Robert Hoffman. George Vinnedge, Elizabeth Rettig, Jack Turner, Dick Calvin, and Mary Lou Harper led the second lap of the climb with the same guides as before. We stopped twice on this climb. The first time was for a George Washington dance; and the second was at the end of the climb: a weiner roast at the hut known as the Fair Grounds. The more prominent members this year were: Georgia Carroll and Floyd Seramur as sophomore king and queen; Milton Carlson and Floyd Seramur, who won laurels in basketball; Bill Howe and Allen Danks, who represented our class in the operetta, “The Singer of Naples”. Remember Allan Danks’ marcel for the operetta ? The third lap of the four-year climb was by far the hardest because there were such large rocks of finance to overcome. Those who led the climb this trip were Elizabeth Rettig, Doris Rose, Marilyn Shisler, and Gordon An¬ derson, the class officers. Georgia Car- roll was president of the Student Coun¬ cil. Milton Carlson and Barbara Heide were the junior king and queen. Mar¬ jorie Frame and Georgia Carroll were charter members of the Crown Point National Forensic League as a result of their excellent debating. We stopped at another wayside inn to rest after over¬ coming one rock of finance by sponsor¬ ing a play. John Baldwin, Phyllis Bur¬ roughs, Mary Scull, Allen Danks, Mary Lou Harper, Elvera Cox, James Pary- zek, Norman Kaper, Elizabeth Rettig, Dorothy Holloway, and Marjorie Frame all “strutted their stuff” in the play, “Growing Pains”. Mary Scull, Georgia Carroll, Warren Brown, Leslie Conquest, Marjorie Frame, and Barbara Heide were members of the cast of the high school play, “New Fires”. Another rock of finance was overcome by sponsoring a show, “Gay Deception”. On this lap of the climb Allen Danks and Charles VanDenburgh won honors in football; Floyd Seramur, Milton Carlson, Oscar Mills, Leslie Conquest, and Clifford Henderson received letters in basket¬ ball. By far the nicest stopping point on this trip was the Inn at which we stayed for the junior-senior banquet and prom which climaxed the third part of our trip with only one more lap to reach our goal. John Wheeler, Jack Turner, Ruth Kammert, Lester B i x e n m a n, and Marilyn Shisler were the leaders of the climb on our last lap together. Our guides were Mrs. Allman, Miss Wright, and Mr. Jones. Many of our members were fast climbers during this last lap. Harry Newton, Jack Turner, Clifford Henderson, Gordon Anderson, Howard Hartung, Allen Danks, Charles Van¬ Denburgh, Homer Randolph, and Floyd Seramur won the football laurels. Gordon Anderson, Milton Carlson, Floyd Seramur, and Clifford Henderson won sweaters and letters in basketball, and of course the two managers, John Wheeler and John Baldwin, won recog¬ nition for their work. Marjorie Frame, Mary Scull, Clifford Henderson, Jean ¬ ette Condon, Pauline Henderson, John Baldwin, Warren Brown and Barbara Heide won letters in band. Marjorie Frame, Mary Scull, and Barbara Heide received medals and honors for debate. We stopped at another inn; this time it was to sponsor a show, “Sing, Baby, Sing.” Georgia Carroll, Elizabeth Rettig and Mary Lou Harper represented our class on the girls’ varsity basketball team. Georgia Carroll was editor-in- chief, and Warren Brown, Marjorie Frame, Norman Kaper, George Vin- nedge, and Anna Kasarski were mem¬ bers of this year’s INKLINGS staff. Doris Rose, Ruth Kammert, Edith Swanson, Georgia Ammerman, Warren Brown, Dorothy Holloway and Alice Diamond did the makeup and printing work for the paper. At the Halloween Carnival, Elizabeth Rettig and Gordon Anderson were senior king and queen. Elizabeth Rettig was president of the student council the first half of the fourth year’s climb and Barbara Heide the last half. We gave a play in connec¬ tion with the dramatics department when we stopped at the next hut. Allen Danks, Mary Scull, Edith Swanson, Bernice Bastiani, Warren Brown, Doris Rose, Howard Hartung, and Dorothy Holloway were members of the cast. Many members have dropped out on our trip until there are only sixty-four who will reach the goal. Ten of these sixty-four are in the National Honor Society: Ruth Kammert, John Wheel¬ er, Alice Diamond, Mary Scull, Georgia Carroll, Marjorie Frame, Edith Swan¬ son, Doris Rose, Elizabeth Rettig, and Barbara Heide. After all of the activ¬ ities that go along with attaining the goal on the Mountain of Learning: graduation, baccalaureate, the prom, we will be ready to award the bouquet of tea roses as a prize and we will plant our blue and silver flag in the memory of CPHS. We have tried to follow our motto, and although we have climaxed our four-year climb, we still are “not to the top, but still climbing”.

The club has made a great suc¬ cess sponsoring the check room. It has more members this year than last since all high school boys are allowed to join. They have had five or six well-known men in school and town give talks on various vocations in which the boys are interested. The boys are now working with the Girl Reserves in taking dancing lessons in order that they will be able to put on better dances with more people taking part. Even Mr. Jones, the Hi-Y spon¬ sor, is taking them. The Girl Reserves gave a chili supper for the Hi-Y. Now the boys are plan¬ ning to return this by giving some kind of entertainment for the girls. Also they are planning to send certain boys to different conventions for Hi-Y clubs as was done last year by the club. Andres Tyler brought back a lot of interesting and valuable information from a national convention at Berea, Kentucky. Hi-Y members this year have done much within the school and community by living up to their slogan; Clean speech, clean living, clean sports, and clean scholarship. The members by do¬ ing this have shown a marked superior¬ ity over the rest of the boys in school as far as grades are concerned, showing that the club has been successful.

Diamond This year’s National Honor Society is made up of nine girls and one boy. At the end of four years of high school work, these students were among the twenty seniors who ranked scholastical¬ ly in the upper third of the graduating class. The faculty then elected ten of the eligible twenty students to become the 1937 members of the Crown Point chapter of the National Honor Society. The faculty’s decision was based large¬ ly upon the number of extra-curricular activities in which those considered took part. Mr. Baker, National Honor Society sponsor, arranged a dinner party for May 19, honoring the members. All of the Society’s members will have their names engraved on a bronze plate and placed on the National Honor Society plaque which hangs in the downstairs hallway of the school. GIRLS ATHLETIC CLUB Athletics for the girls in Crown Point High was started in earnest this year with the organization of the G. A. A. with Miss Wright as sponsor. In the late fall a baseball tournament was in play on the school field and was won by the sophomore team. More baseball will be played in the spring. In early January a preliminary bas¬ ketball tournament was held and was won easily by the snappy sophomore team which has no rivals. The second tournament was held in February with the sophomores and seniors clashing at the Community Gym, before the Flora game on February 12, for the final game of the tournament. The sophomores nosed out the seniors by the overwhelm¬ ing score of 41-10. Miss Wright then announced the girls who were on the varsity. They immed¬ iately organized and elected Elizabeth Rettig, senior, captain of the team. Practice was then started for the game with the alumni, which was to be played before the Lowell game on February 19. The C. P. High School girls came out on top with a score of 18-12. Each class also has a volley-ball team, and a game is in play at noon every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The ping-pong tournament has been started as the BULLDOG goes to press, but no finals have been played as yet. As the school year progresses more tournaments and contests will be played between baseball teams, tennis players and other girl athletes. In late spring hiking parties will also be in order.

Frame This organization was organized nat¬ ionally in the year 1922, to promote the interests of interscholastic debate, ora¬ tory, and public speaking by encourag¬ ing a spirit of fellowship and by con¬ ferring upon deserving candidates a worthy badge of distinction. In the year 1936 Crown Point High School became a member with five charter members: Ray Bjorklund, Jack Heide, Dick Joyce, Georgia Carroll and Marjorie Frame. This year three more members were added to the list through their participation on the sectional champion debate team. The three new members are Carol Jean Martin, Mary Scull, and Barbara Heide. To be eligible for the National Foren¬ sic League you must be in the upper two-thirds of your class, must have participated in enough speech contests to receive the Degree of Merit and must be voted in by the local chapter. In the state of Indiana at the present time there are only seventeen chapters. In the entire United States there are four hundred and seventy-four chapters. The schedule for the debate team of the years is as follows: Mentone . Nappanee Hammond . East Chicago Lew Wallace . Knox . Nappanee . Chesterton . Edison . Clark . Whiting . Hammond . LaPorte .

There have been presented several free concerts, at which the community had the privilege of hearing Harold Woolridge, former clarinet soloist with the famous Sousa Band, and C. F. Basse, xylophone soloist with the Purdue Band. Guest conductors at these concerts were R. V. Roesler of Froebel and Bertram Francis of Hobart. During the winter a new bass clarinet, alto clarinet, French horn, bass saxo¬ phone, glockenspiel, and a set of tympani were added to the school’s supply of instruments. These additions have been of great help to both the appearance and performance of the band. Mr. Ready and the band members are looking forward to entering the district contest held at La Porte in April and are hoping to come home with high honors. GIRLS’ TRIPLE TRIO Three years ago Mrs. Thomas organ¬ ized the high school girls’ Triple Trio, which has progressed rapidly even in the short period of its existence. The Triple Trio is well-known and has estab¬ lished a good reputation for the choral department of Crown Point High School, yet this group meets just one afternoon after school each week for practice. There are five girls who have been faithful to the Triple Trio for three years: Georgia Carroll, Barbara Heide, Mary Lou Harper, Elizabeth Rettig, and June Thompson. Fern Purdy, Carol Jean Martin, Edith Swanson, and. Doris Rose have sung with the group for one year. This organization does not cease be¬ ing active when the school year is com¬ pleted, but it continues to sing at pro¬ grams of various kinds during the sum¬ mer months. During this past school year, these singers have had no less than thirty invitations to entertain at different pro¬ grams, these invitations coming from almost every civic and church organiza¬ tion in Crown Point. When the seniors graduate this year, there will be six vacancies; but these empty places will be filled by the best members of the Cadet Ensemble, an¬ other musical group similar to the Triple Trio. The Cadet Ensemble is also under the able direction of Mrs. Flor¬ ence Thomas. Mrs. Thomas, B. Heide, F. Purdy, C. J. Martin, E. Rettig, G. Carroll, J. Thompson, E. Swanson, D. Rose, M.

Young Third Row—Middleton, Bruce, Pettibone, Hack. Danks, Luke. Niemeyer, Mrs. Thomas The Girls’ Cadet Ensemble, a newly organized choral group, is under the direction of Mrs. Thomas. A year ago the girls were selected to form a Girls’ Cadet Triple Trio, which appeared and sang at many places. Many of the girls joined the first Triple Trio, and so it was decided that a new choral group be formed. This group was named the “Girls’ Cadet Ensemble”. This organization has twenty mem¬ bers: Lois Woods, Norma Roll, Kath¬ leen Kaper, Jean Firman, Helen Bruce, Leone Bruce, Jeanette Bruce, Emma Niemeyer, Bernice Bastiani, Patricia Pettibone, Annabelle Luke, Martha Young, Vera Mae Phillips, Irene Rouhselange, Laverne Hack, Marie Middleton, Rosemary Biegle, Mary Dance, Gladys Gard, and Paulette Danks. The Ensemble made its first appear¬ ance at the Woman’s Auxiliary meeting, where they sang a group of four songs. On March 18 the Business and Pro¬ fessional Women’s Club invited the Ensemble to present a program of spring songs. Although the Girls’ Cadet Ensemble is very young, it has achieved great success. From its ranks members will be chosen to fill the places of the Triple Trio girls who are graduating this year. BOYS’ ENSEMBLE Here is a group of high school fellows who are winning their laurels in choral music. The Boys’ Ensemble, which was organized last year, is a group of boys who sing in the choral class of C. P. H. S., and are especially chosen by Mrs. Thomas for the ensemble by reason of their singing ability. This year the ensemble numbers twelve, and they sing four-part music. Besides the time that the ensemble members give to their regular singing classes, they also apply time to special practice classes every Friday after school. These boys are called upon at various times during the school year to enter¬ tain different clubs, societies, and organ¬ izations in and around Crown Point; and they certainly enjoy this part of their work.

The first game of the season was on September 11 at St. Mary’s field. GRIFFITH—7 BULLDOGS—0 The boys put up a good fight but the Griffith eleven proved to be too much for them. LOWELL—26 BULLDOGS—6 September 18 all loyal Crown Point fans went to Lowell to see the old rivals play. The highlight of the game was Seramur’s spectacular run from back of the 50 yard line for a touchdown. CATHOLIC CENTRAL—19 BULLDOGS—0 Again the Bulldogs bowed to stronger opponents. A good crowd supported the boys at the Hammond field. KENTLAND—0 BULLDOGS—12 October 2 was the date of the Kent- land game in which the Crown Point eleven chalked up their first victory of the season with the score of 12 to 0. During the half of this game the band made its first appearance of the season. RENSSELAER—8 BULLDOGS—0 The game with the boys from Rens¬ selaer was played on October 12. A large crowd from home saw the Rens¬ selaer eleven score a touch-down almost immediately after the start of the game. Then the Bulldogs clamped down and held the southern fellows for no more scoring. HOBART—13 BULLDOGS—0 On a field which was a sea of mud, the Crown Point boys were defeated by their more powerful rivals from Hobart on October 16. LOWELL — 2 BULLDOGS—0 In their return game the Lowell Red Devils came to town with the idea of giving the Crown Point lads a good trouncing, but our boys held the power¬ ful team scoreless until the last few minutes of play when a “safety” was completed giving the Devils two points. The game ended with the score standing 2-0 for Lowell. So ended the 1936 football season of Crown Point High, not a success as far as victories were concerned but as far as prospects for the next year the fans are very optimistic. On December 7, the newly organized Civic Club of Crown Point honored the team and coaches by sponsoring a large banquet. Hal Totten, nationally known sports commentator, was the principal speaker of the evening. The student body, as well as the coach and townspeople, were proud to hear that Gordon Anderson, center, and senior playing his first year of football, was one of the nineteen centers chosen from high school teams of Indiana for honorable-mention on the official all- state football squad. The team is chosen every year by Dick Miller, International News Service sports writer. Here’s to a bigger and better team for 1937.
