Crown Point High has striven to inspire you to the ideals, attitudes, and learning that prepare you for life. Eagerly interested, the teachers, principal, and superintendent have aided and enjoyed you seeking the lasting values of an education. You have kept the f,aith of the task set before you; you have finished your courses; you have graduated. As you leave the portals of your Alma Mater, may you vow to learn continually and place Your Class on the honor roll of success! —Mr. Erwin, Principal CLASS HISTORY It was a tense moment. The whistle blew! The loyal support of everyone was necessary for a successful game. Our captain was Betty Griesel, with Bob Welsh, Vella Lee Page, Bob Sykora, and June Thompson holding outstanding positions on the team. The team wore black and gold uniforms and the most loyal class mem¬ bers pinned yellow roses to their lapels and dresses occasionally. The team set forth its motto in black and gold letters at the end of the hall: “Success is by acting not wishing”. Now and then we all glanced in its direction hoping to glean enough courage from it to last the four quarters of our game. After an exciting beginning, the officials called time, to announce a “Big Sister” party sponsored by the Seniors at the Fair Grounds. The game was resumed until the moment for electing the Carnival King and Queen. We knew that our dark¬ haired Feme Purdy, and redheaded hero, Jim Wagner, would offer real competition and were not surprised at their victory. The event which followed closely was the operetta, “Singer of Naples”, leads being played by June Thompson and Gladys Liffick. A large number from our group proved their mettle in this first quarter by their performances in major sports. Toward the end of the first quarter, we sponsored a dance on March 23, after which officials Seamonson, Foster, Jones and Kirkpatrick informed us we had $22.22. The cheer leaders gave a rising yell for the “Freshies” and we were ready for the sophomore quarter. Three Sophomore captains. Bob Youkey, Dorothy Platt, and Feme Purdy, began when the calendar read 1935-1936. Vella Lee Page and Becky Lamson be¬ came our cheer leaders. Again we favored a member, Dorothy Platt, with the Carnival Queenship. Just before the timekeepers called the half, the peppy Sopho¬ mores sponsored a show, which boosted our funds to $75 at the end of the first half. 1936- 1937! Beginning the third quarter! Yessir! This was the hardest battle of the game; but we played fairly and came through with colors flying after we put our trust in the guidance of Feme Purdy, Kenny Knight, and Jim Wagner. We decided to hold up the game long enough in November to “Swing It“ at our sweater hop. This month also gave distinction to Doris Kaldahl in the Legion Oratorical Contest and to Carol Jean Martin in Debate and the cast of “The Brat”. Youkey, Steiner, Knight, Wagner, Golden, Brooks, Welsh, and Nassau kept the class in front in the pigskin parade, while Golden, Welsh, and Wagner starred on the hardwood. Nor were we without girl athletes! Purdy, Lamson, Griesel, Seberger, Flathau topped the list. Our musicians kept pace in band and choral work. The game proceeded slowly until we were assured that the people of Crown Point were very much interested in our success, as their attendance at the Junior Class play “Happy Go Lucky” bore witness. On October 31, our team added to its enviable reputation by electing Bob Youkey and Marie Flathau to the throne. The grand finale came in our beautiful Junior-Senior Banquet. The resource¬ fulness of the decorating committee will always be remembered, as we won’t forget the canopy of rainbow-colored streamers, the lattice woven with crab-apple branches, and the rainbow at the horizon’s rim. The lovely decorations of our banquet graced the Senior Baccalaureate, and we felt a sense of satisfaction with our work in the third quarter. 1937- 1938. Not must time left! We launched a well-planned attack under the captaincy of Knight, Flathau, and Adkins but were forced to call for time in order to watch Steiner, Wagner, Carlson, Welsh, the Kouders, Nassau, Knight, Fitch, and Golden prove their worth on the gridiron. In October, Kenny Knight reached the Kingship. After the Carnival we were well represented in Journalism, Intramurals, and Varsity Basketball. Twelve of our leaders were chosen for the all school team—the National Honor Society. As a thrilling climax the team worked together to make successful productions of their Yearbook and the mystery drama “The 13th Chair”. During these four quarters, the constant companionship and fellowship together gave us much that we value highly and will not soon forget.

They elected the following class officers: Edward Metz - President Leone Bruce _Vice President Charlotte Kaiser _Secretary Bill Carroll _Treasurer CLASS SPONSORS: Mrs. Mracek Mr. Ferris Mr. Bowen Class Colors: Blue and Gold Class Flower: Lily of the Valley Motto: “Preparedness is the Keynote to Success” On November 12, the class presented the play “Green Stockings”, a well- played drama under the able direction of Mrs. Spray. The Juniors have also helped fill their treasury by the selling of reflectors for automobiles. A few people scoffed at the idea, but the Juniors proved the adage that “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” This class has participated in a variety of school activities and has a number of promising scholars. The rolls of the football, basketball squads, band, debaters, triple trio, and student council boast a good representation of what promises to be an enterprising Senior Class for 1939.

In the 1937 season the Crown Point Bulldogs played some of the best Learns in the Lake County region. The ’37 schedule consisted of Valparaiso, Lowell, Lew Wallace, Kentland, Rensselaer, Hobart, Tolleston, Lowell, and Griffith. VALPARAISO 19 BULLDOGS 0 The Bulldogs’ first game was with Valparaiso. Because they lacked in weight and experience, the Bulldogs lost a hard fought game at the expense of losing their quarterback. Bob Youkey, who injured his leg early in the first quarter. The final score stood 19 to 0 in favor of the Vikings of Valpo. LOWELL 13 BULLDOGS 0 Friday, September 17, the Crown Point Bulldogs lost their second game of the season to their rivals, the Lowell Red Devils. In the third quarter Lowell got the ball within scoring distance, and took it over for the first touchdown. At the end of the battle the Lowell Red Devils were in the lead with thirteen points. Blocked kicks played an important part in the Bulldogs’ defeat. LEW WALLACE 20 BULLDOGS 0 On a very muddy field, the Bulldogs were defeated by a strong team from Lew Wallace. The score at the end of the game showed Crown Point trailing 20 to 0. Lew Wallace won the Gary City Championship. KENTLAND 0 BUiXDOGS 31 The Bulldogs journeyed to Kentland to achieve their first victory of the season. In the opening of the game, Crown Point blocked a Kentland punt, and marched the ball down to the pay line, which was the first touchdown of the 1937 season. Another touchdown was achieved in the second quarter. During the third quarter, the Bulldogs pushed the pigskin across for two more touchdowns, and in the final quarter they obtained another 6 points, making the final score 31 to 0 for C. P. H. S. RENSSELAER 0 BULLDOGS 7 The Bulldogs chalked up another win at the hands of a fighting Rensselaer eleven, 7 to 0. In the last quarter of the game Knesek ran the ball around the left side of the line, thirty-five yards to the goal line. Henderlong then plunged through the line for the extra point, thus making the score 7 to 0 in Crown Point’s favor. Haniford had a 85 yard run for a touchdown called back because of a holding penalty. HOBART 27 BULLDOGS 0 Crown Point lost their fourth game to an aggressive and big Hobart eleven, 27 to 0; though the Bulldogs were outclassed by the Brickies’ style of ball, they stood up well. Youkey saw action in the final two minutes for the first time in five games. TOLLESTON 0 BULLDOGS 7 The Bulldogs turned the tables on a very strong Tolleston team with the score, 7 to 0, resulting from a long run by Knesek, and a successful conversion. This was the third win of the season for the Bulldogs. The fourth quarter goal line stand of the Bulldogs won’t be forgotten for a long time. LOWELL 19 BULLDOGS 0 On October 29, Crown Point lost to Lowell due to the fact that the boys failed to block and tackle hard. In the first half, Lowell scored 13 points, and in the last half 6 points, thus making the final score read 19 to 0 in Lowell’s favor. Five blocked kicks led to all three Lowell touchdowns. The Bulldogs had more first downs and more yardage gained but errors were too costly. GRIFFITH 0 BULLDOGS 33 The Bulldogs chalked up another win by defeating Griffith in the final game of the season by the score of 33 to 0. During the first quarter the Bulldogs were held scoreless, but they came back in the second quarter and scored for the fifst touchdown of the ball game. The final quarter started off with another touchdown and in the last minutes of play they scored again. The Bulldogs have had the best season since the “World War’’. In the 1937 season they won four games and lost five. Our team was outweighed by each team played, but they were never outfought. Coach Ferris said “that it will be a long time before Crown Point has a team with more courage and fight than the Bulldogs of 1937.” Several Bulldogs received berths on the Little Four Conference Teams. Stiener, King and Youkey received first string positions, while Fitch and Haniford went on the second team list. Knight and Wagner received honorable mention on the list. Senior boys who received major awards were: Golden, Stiener, Knight, Welsh, Wagner, Nassau, Youkey, Carlson, Fitch, the two Kouders, and the senior manager, Hayden. Other major awards were made to King, Haniford, Carroll, Henderlong and the two Kneseks. Boys receiving minor awards were; Buche, Ziese, Keehn, Hoffman, Kelsey, Gervais, Fifleld, Shisler, Lewis, Grayson, Holmquist, Bastiani, Robertson, Adkins, Ross, Fiegle, Holloway, Traves, Carlson, Hill and Rudolph, assistant manager.

Second King, Wilbur Rodney Gervais, Harvey Knesek, 1938 BASKETBALL SEASON “A” TEAM The Bulldogs of Crown Point High ended an unsuccessful season as far ,as wins and losses are concerned. In the development of the team’s moral attitude and sportsmanship, they could not be excelled. Crown Point won two games and lost eighteen; some of these losses were against much stronger teams of this region, but the Bulldogs always gave them a good fight, never giving up. One of the most exciting games of the season was the Crown Point vs. Lowell game, which was an overtime contest with Lowell coming out on top. Another exciting game which should be remembered was the one with Edison. In the last minute, with the score tied, the Bulldogs made a long basket from the middle of the floor; but luck must have been with Edison as they scored five points in the last twenty-seven seconds of the game. “B” TEAM The second team had quite a successful year, winning eleven games and losing seven. Two or three of these boys should prove very helpful for next year’s team if they continue to develop. Senior boys who have played their last game for Crown Point High are: Wagner, Golden, Brooks, Youkey, Kretchmar, Welsh, Carlson and Kouder.

BOYS’ INTRAMURALS The boys’ intra-miiral program has shown much development in the last few years and has helped to promote good sportsmanship in all games and activities throughout the school j ear. There are several different events sponsored by the intra-mural program in which a boy may enter, such as ping pong, checkers, base¬ ball, horse shoes and basketball. These different games are played in class competition. All boys playing intra-mural basketball have a chance to be on any varsity team if they have the required ability and meet the coach’s approval. The senior boys’ basketball teams won both first and second places in the class standings at the end of the season. These boj ' s will receive a letter for their services on the hardwood The intra-murals are under the sponsorship of Mr. Lamb. It is hopd his sort of activity will be carried out in future years. ijr T Y First Row—Mary Grayson, Marie Flathau, Feme Purdy, Betty Griesel, Gladys Kinne Becky Lamson Second Row—Miss Dice, Mildred Dickens, Ruth Seberger, Jeanette Bruce Helen Bruce, Leone Bruce, Beatrice Sellers.

This year the Girls’ Athletic Association started out in a bigger and better way than ever with Miss Dice as their sponsor. The officers for the first semester were: President, Dorothy Platt; Vice President, Velda Seramur; and Manager, Betty Griesel. . The girls started out with a lot of vim, vigor, and vitality to earn their awards, and with the thought of fostering true sportsmanship in Girls’ Athletics. The second semester started out with Helen Bruce as President; Gladys Kinne, Vice President; Beatrice Sellers, Treasurer; and Leone Bruce, Manager. After Christmas basketball was on the mind of practically every G. A. A. girl. Twice the Juniors and Seniors battled it out at the Legion building with the snappy Junior team coming out on top both times. At the end of the basketball season a tournament was held in which each class took part. As usual, the Juniors carried away the honors. Girls who received their G. A. A. emblems this year after attaining 800 points were: Helen Bruce, Mary Davis, Gladys Kinne, Feme Purdy, Mane Flathau, Betty Osborne, Helen Mikuta, Dorothy Platt, Leona Nowviskie, Ruth Seberger, LaVerne Hack, Pat Pettibone, Marjorie Letz, and Jean Firman. The highest award a girl can receive is a C. P. sweater given when she has achieved 1500 points. In order to earn this award she must be active and partici¬ pate in various sports. A girl who has received a C. P. sweater has shown real interest in athletics and has proved herself worthy of this award, which is given in her senior year. The first girls ever to receive sweaters were Betty Griesel and Becky Lamsoii. „ , - f . Two dances were given, one in honor of the football squad and one loi everyone after the Hobart basketball game. “Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory— ” —Shelley First Row—Milo Dobes, Jane Heinze, Martha Whitehead, John Mosier, Morgan Porch, Paul Frame, George Drackert, Director Ready.

Many of us do not realize what a wonderfully organized band we have. Last year they entered the State Contest at LaPorte, Indiana, and carried off a total of 176 medals and awards, a mere drop in the bucket to what we hope they have brought back this year. This year has found them spending many hours marching and rehearsing for program and willingly playing for pep sessions, football, and basketball games whenever called upon. They gave a concert on November 7, and another March 18. For the past three years they have played at the Dyer Com¬ mencement. By popular vote of the band, Beatrice Sellers and Dick Nichols are the present student directors. Their able directing has caused much favorable comment and a rise of enthusiasm on the part of the faculty and student body. We think the band of 1938 is the best Crown Point has ever had and know that they will continue their good work for many years. THE 1938 BULLDOG SPECIAL BAND GROUPS SAXOPHONE QUINTET CORNET TRIO H.

The outstanding concert during the first semester was the annual choral program of Christmas music given at the Community Building on Sunday afternoon, December 12. The custom of singing Christmas Carols in the corridors has become a tradi¬ tion in our schools, and this year this Christmas music was presented with organ accompaniment. , . _, The smaller choral groups appeared before practically every civic and church organization in our city. Rehearsals for these groups are held outside of regular During the second semester these groups presented the annual Music Festival program during National Music week in May, a program which included the cantata, The Wreck of the Hesperus”. The chorus will also present the music for the Baccalaureate service. The student body appreciates the eilort the members of the chorus have out forth.

Mrs. Spray is well-satisfied with the work they have done, and since all of the debaters will be back next year, she has hopes of winning the state tournament in ’39. Although the debate teams have not had the backing that the basketball and football teams have had, they have worked hard, strengthening their cases, and getting new facts.

HISTORY OF INKLINGS Who of you would like to know how our school paper was named? In 1926, the first class in journalism in Crown Point was taught by Miss Charlotte Wheeler, who undertook the responsibility of publishing a bi-monthly paper of school news, written by and for the students. Of course one of the first things to do was to find a name for the paper. Names were submitted by the students, and Minnie Weinberg had an “inkling” that INKLINGS would be the proper title. There are also other reasons for calling it so, “ink” because the paper was printed in ink, and “lings” because it was written by young people. The paper consisted of four sheets, each containing four columns. It was printed by The Calumet Press and Register offices.

Purpose: To maintain and develop high standards of Christian character throughout the school and the community. Clean Speech Clean Sportsmanship Clean Scholarship Clean Living The Crown Point High School Hi-Y, although still short of realizing the true purposes of Hi-Y have had a very active year under the leadership of officers .Bob Place, Wilbur Kruger, Roman Goszewski, Bill Hofferber, and Ted Steger. Boasting a membership of over sixty boys, the.club has sponsored a banquet for the Girl Reserves, a dance, courtesy week, well-known speakers, and Intramural basketball. It is the hope of the majority of the club that from the Peru Conference and the national meet at Berea real practical ideas will be developed by the group to make it a leading club in the state. Part of the club finances has been obtained by main¬ taining a check room at the various activities held at the Community Building.

SOCIETY Do you remember the Hallowe’en Carnival? Of course you do. and you remember how hard everyone worked for their king and queen. The king turned out to be Kenny Knight and the queen, Janet Place. The next on our “Must See List” was the junior play, “Green Stockings”. In spite of a few difficulties, the junior class put out a fine production. Then there was the G. A. A. Dance. G. A. A. stands for Girls Athletic Association in case you don’t know. The dance w,as given on November 18, and everyone had a “swell” time. Not to be out-done, the seniors gave a dance on December 21. just after the Lowell game. It might have been the spirit of the season, but anyway it was quite a nice affair. The next organizations to be bitten by the social bug were the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y clubs. The two clubs got together and, under the direction of Miss Jones and Mr. Baker, sponsored the “Hayseed Hop”. With everything from wagon-wheels under foot to straw in your hair, it was a new and enjoyable event for everyone. It must be that everyone is in a dancing mood this year; we can’t seem to get enough of it. On January 22, the Presbyterian Church entertained the high school students at a chili supper. The G. A. A. did a solo on February 4. They sponsored a dance after the Hobart game. The following night there was a freshman party held in the band building. Monday, February 21, the Hi-Y feted the Girl Reserves to a banquet in the dining hall of the Presbyterian Church. Remembering Washington’s Birthday, the Club decorated with his picture, cherry and hatchet cut-outs. The jollity of the singing will long be remem¬ bered. While this is being written, plans are being made for three more dances, the Hi-Y and the sophomore class are each sponsoring one and the junior class is making plans for the junior prom. If this keeps up we may get our fill of dances yet, at least we’ll hope so.
