CROWN POINT HIGH SCHOOL CROWN POINT, INOIANA ENGRAVED BY INOIANAPOLIS ENGRAVING CO. 19 4 5 C X CCcAtJuyu GUR SCHOOL OF TOMORROW ADMINISTRATION Mr. Erwin acts as a better- than-the-original Mr. Anthony to the puzzled students of Crown Point High. His variety of jobs and the many miles that he has covered makes him an ideal ad¬ visor. Our school board! l Ir. Walter McLean, treasurer: Mr. Lowell C. Held, secretary; Mr. A. T. IH n d 1 e y , superintendent of schools, and Dr. C. R. Pettibone, president. SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Lindley Our office “Big Three,” Mr. Er¬ win, Miss Blackstone, and Mr. Lindley, really cooperate to keep things running smoothly. Miss Blackstone’s ability to type, answer the telephone, and dash down the hall in search of a student, all at the same time should reach Mr. Ripley’s ears any day now. Mr. Erwin is another one for doing about a thousand jobs at the same time, and yet he manages to concen¬ trate on each problem remarkably well. Mr. Lindley takes care of the business at hand and still has time to work with the school board on plans for the improvement of our post-war school. Mr. Erwin and Miss Blackstone Miss Lauterbur: English and Shorthand be¬ come important and living subjects under the instruction of Miss Lauterbur. She is pictured with her hobby, which is a collection of stage bills. Miss Stoops: Knowledge of library and in¬ terest in Freshman English have reached a maximum under Miss Stoops. Her hobby seems to be phonograph records. Mrs. Cochran: With enthusiasm and vigor Mrs. Cochran portrays the facts of Latin, Chemistry, and high school mathematics. South Pacific souvenirs and Mr. Coch¬ ran apparently are her favorite pastimes. Miss Rickenbaugh: Not only is Miss Rick- enbaugh a competent teacher of short¬ hand, general business, and typing, but she also takes times to transport athletes to various games. Mr. Ruby: Not only is Mr. Ruby the coach, but he is an excellent example for the students. Many boys will live a healthy life because Mr. Ruby teaches the rules of health so well that these rules become a part of those students who study this subject. Mrs. Seamonson: Important characters of history march in pomp and power; out¬ standing events paraded before the eyes of the students, and patriotism reigns in Mrs. Seamonson’s history classes. Miss Greenberg: Miss Greenberg came to our school the second semester of this year. She taught English to the freshmen, and civics to the seniors, sponsored the student council, and the National Honor Societ} ' . She is shown with her hobby of pictures of model homes. Mr. Watson: Mr. Watson loves Physics and anyone who studies his favorite subject. He believes that this is a very important part of the high school education, and teaches it with characteristic vigor and thoroughness. Mr. Kindle: Mr. Kindle can well be proud of his agriculture work, for most of the boys taught in his classes will do this important work after graduating. Mr. Kindle also teaches Biology. Mr. Church: Industrial arts is a useful sub¬ ject for all. Some may think of this study as a course for boys only; but Mr. Church has both boys and girls enjoying this im¬ portant work. Mr. Ready: All those who have heard our band, directed by Mr. Ready, are thrilled at the splendid artistr y exhibited. Joy is supreme when the Crown Point High School band plays. Mr. Hale: Mr. Hale teaches mechanically minded students the many func¬ tions of machine shop. Mrs. Thomas: Students of our school shall never forget the pleasant experi¬ ences of participating in choral activities under the direction of Mrs. Thomas. Mrs. Thomas has the ability to produce excellent singing groups. Miss Mauck: Oh, for a thousand tongues to tell” the value of English, speech, debate, and dramatics. Miss Albright: If the way to the heart is through the stomach. Miss Albright has found many hearts. Delicious meals, at a reasonable cost, for teachers and students are prepared daily by IVIiss .-Mbright and the cafeteria classes. Miss Wagner: Pictures that hang on memory’s walls are the ones which Miss Wagner and the class like to paint. Mrs. Mracek: Many students have found a genuine friend and counselor in Mrs. Mracek. She is always willing to help any student in the guidance toward a successful life. Mrs. Christopherson: Mrs. Christopher.son taught English, civics, sponsored the student council and directed the social hour at noon. Her interest in young people, and love for her subjects gained for her a host of friends. Mrs. King: Mrs. King’s practical experiences in the business world aid her greatly in teaching shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping for the business of life. Ruth Adkins Wayne Bateman Donna Lu Brown- Jack Akey Ellen Bendzsa Sally Bullock John Babinscak Beverly Blimm Eunice Bunde Lenore Barman Norbert Bowling Patricia Carl Our senior class officers, Treasurer Gayle Niksch, Secre¬ tary Eugene Jackson, President Ruth Graper, and Vice-President Bob Lennertz have done a super¬ lative job this year and we’re very grateful to them. They seem to make a great leadership team which may be attributed to their high scholastic ratings and their likeable personalities. Loraine Carroll Donald Cowan Robert Dittmer Jane Chrisman Peggy Crawford George Dluzak Josephine Cilek Lillie Deuchert Joe Dobes Maryann Cottingham Phyllis Dillabaugh Wuanita Doty The Seniors started the year off with the presentation of “The Great Big Doorstep.” After the play, of course, came the dance sponsored by the Seniors. The dance that really roused the whole student body, however, was the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. The original advertisement that put it over was the signs made by members of the senior class. Practically every male in school was draped with a sign denoting to whom he belonged for the dance. Hill-billy music lured many onto the dance floor to square dance be¬ tween the popular tunes of the juke box. Janice Muzzall was crowned cpieen of the dance after some hard competition from the other candidates. Votes were a penny each. The annual Little-4 Hop, consisting of Lowell, Hobart, Griffith, and Crown Point was held in Crown Point this year, and the seniors worked busily on the decorations. Most of these activities, of course, helped to finance this grand and glorious year¬ book. Thom. s Doyle Lois Falke Xada (Jentleman Ruth Graper Fran ' cis Henderlong Rosemary Hoffman Lois Holtz Eugene Jackson Robert Kerr Don Kissinger Iris Lawson Robert Lennertz Since quite a few of this year’s graduating class were called to the armed services, the small roll that the seniors started their year with was made even smaller. This, however, did not prevent the eager particijiation of the class in all school events. During the year, under the guidance and with the inspiration of Miss Mauck and ] Irs. Seamonson, Wilma Manis Doris Murray Billie Park Donald Mathews Janice Muzzall John Parramore Ruth Mikuta Clara Xiemeyer Patricia Pence Patricia Moran Gayle Xiksch Earnest Post spnosors, the senior class Ijought war stamps and bonds, and were active in Red Cross, Sunshine Club, Pep Clul), X.F.I.., Rifle Club, F.F.A., choral groups, and social clubs along with the rest of the student body. Seniors rounded out their pro¬ grams of activities by participat¬ ing in football, basketball, and track events.

Seniors put them¬ selves on record as being the first class not to further bewilder the freshmen by initiating them.

RUTH GRAPER—Valedictorian GAYLE NIKSCH—Business Manager DICK REILLY—Four-letter man PATRICIA PENCE—Outstanding speaker CITIZENS OF DONNA LU BROWN—Sunshine President EUGENE JACKSON—Class Secretary ROBERT LENNERTZ—Vice President NADA GENTLEMAN—Editor-in-chief JUNIORS The smiling faces of these four people belong to the junior leaders who led their class to achievement during the year. They are: Vice President Dick Platt, Secretary Bob Cleveland, Treasurer Betty Lisins, and President Carl Steuer. These four performed ably the many tasks given them. The class of ’46 did not become interested in sponsoring their own activities the first half of the year, but contented themselves with studying hard and engaging in school activities and those events sponsored by other classes. Active partici¬ pation was given to all football and basketball games, Friday night dances, and other entertain¬ ment. One could be sure that the presence of the junior class members at school affairs meant added interest, peji, and fun. Not to be outdone by members of other classes, the peppy juniors en¬ tered wohle-heartedly into all of the clubs and organizations of the school, gaining coveted places on the Honor Roll each six weeks, and giving service to their school by assisting in the library, shop, and as hall monitors. In ways such as these. First: C. . gnew, J. Almy, P. Anderson, A. Batterman. R. Benson, B. Bleiweis B. Carrolb Sec¬ ond: V. Carter, H. Claussen, B. Cleveland, J. Dance, H. Donnelly, R. Einspar, B.

Johnson. they showed that they were willing and able to accept any responsibilities that would aid the faculty and the student body. Of all phases of school life, the juniors were most outstanding in the field of athletics. It is an interesting fact, too, to note that when cheer¬ leaders were selected in the fall of the school year. three were chosen from the entire school and all three were from the junior class. On December 30, activities of this class began with a dance held after the Idttle Five Conference ' I ' ourney. Due to hard work in making jjrepara- tions for this end-of-the-year celebration, the dance was a fitting climax to the first semester’s work. First: E. Kach, D. Kahldahl, D. Keiser, B. Kruger, J.

During the second semester, much of the time of the class was taken np with practice and plans for the junior play, “.And Came The S])ring,” presented April 13. The play was a huge success, and well worth the hard work and worries of planning it After the play came the junior ' s second dance which increased the treasury to help defray ex- ])enses of the Prom. The Juniors may be proud of the accom])lishments they have made through¬ out the year, and may know that their efforts, directed by Miss Albright, Miss I-auterbur, and Mrs. Cochran were well worth their while.

The “Solid Soi)homores,” under the lead¬ ership of I.owell Baker proved that they had the makings of a good class during the school year of 1944-45. I ' he Sophs started the year by sponsoring a dance after the Lowell basketball game, and further showed their school spirit by donating $10 for the repair of .school desks.

They were bewildered and shy, and their first week brought forth many perplexing occurrences. Having settled down, they elected their class officers, and began to take part in major activities. Many ojjportunities were presented to them during the year, and the major¬ ity of them were eager to learn. It was with this philosophy in mind and a few “pep talks,” that the class of ”48” survived the first grading period, and so on through the year. Their first imjxjrtant project was a dance held after the band concert on . pril 20. As “rookies” they enjoyed the prviliege of participating in band, debate, speech, football, basketball, track, bond sales, chorus, and the athletic carnival. The world is big and complex to these freshmen, who are just starting out on a new adventure. In a few .short years they must understand it and learn to handle it. They must find a place, and the work to which they will devote their lives. The citizens have provided this high school to hel]) them find a way to make their potentialities more profitable to themselves and to their country. Crown Point believes they are keen enough to find that way, and follow it. MUCH TD OD, BUT LITTLE TIME TD DD IT! SENIOR PLAY Mrs. Crochet and the Commodore talk excitedly to Uncle Dewey, whom they think has brought them the $60 with which to buy a lovely house. The twins, Evvie and To- pal eagerly examine the things which Uncle Dewey has brought them. THE GREAT BIG DOORSTEP Mr. Tobin listens enchantedly while the romantic little sister Evvie dramatically tells him the story of “Evangeline and her search for her lost lover. JUNIOR PLAY Courtney Manders, Clar¬ ice Wineland, and Carl Steuer try out for the Jun¬ ior Play. The play was presented on April 13, with Courtney iVIanders playing the Grem¬ lin who 1)rought about all the humorous complications. THEN CAME THE SPRING More Juniors apply their talent at ac-ting in hopes of capturing a part in the play given April 13. Rob Cleveland.

Several new members replaced the seniors of last year and all rehearsals were held outside of school hours. On March 16 the annual spring concert was presented in the First Presby¬ terian Church. The program consisted of numbers by the choir, the triple trio, boys’ ensemble and the “a cappellets.” Ruth Ad¬ kins sang a solo, and the closing group by the choir was sung with organ accompani¬ ment. The choir presented this program again for the high school assembly in the church.

In Aujjust, when fall practice was begun sixty-three boys answered the call for players. From this rough beginning the coach molded a tough, hard-hitting eleven. Not without effort was this accomplished. W ' orking without an assistant coach, Mr. Ruby spent many hours each day working with his plans and players. James Bollman, a public spirited citizens of the town, acted as the coach’s only adult assistant, giving freely of his time and talent to help develop a team. When September Eighth rolled around a seasoned team ran onto the field instead of the disorganized group of boys which had reported some weeks before. The hard-fighting men in red and white drove through eight games this year. The season was terminated by a ban¬ quet at the community building sponsored by the Civic Club. All due credit should be given to the loyal citizens who drove athletes to the games and to the student managers who worked hours each day, longer than the players themselves, preparing for the games and keeping the players and their equipment in good condition. These are the people who lighten the load of the coach and make his duties pleasant ones. FOOTBALL SCHEOULE 15 Crown Point 13 Lowell 7 Se]3t. 8 Crown Point 0 Valparaiso 6 22 Crown Point 0 Cath.
