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”. Thirteen

Twelve CLASS OFFICERS J. WHEELER J. TURNER R. KAMMERT L. 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.
