The 1951 Excalibur Crown Point High School Crown Point, Indiana 2L CALIBUR AND EDUCATION I EMOCRACy CROWN POINT H|pH SCHOOL TO THINK FREELY Unless an individual is interested, living in a democracy can’t teach him to shun intolerance any more than going to school can teach him to think. A good school or government can only offer the opportunity to learn—the rest is up to him! If a student thinks and acts intelligently when he is given the chance, his teachers encourage him ... if he tries and doesn’t succeed, they don’t send him to a concentration camp . . . they reason with him, show him where he slipped up and get him on the right track again. Until, after a while, doing his own thinking becomes a habit and he really starts getting things done. In a dictatorship people who do their own thinking generally get shot—but not here. Here, the “Little Guy’s” right to tell the world what he believes in is sacred. Let’s keep it that way. Let’s keep it a country where students can disagree with their text books. Let’s keep it a country where teachers can teach what they believe is right . . . where the little guy doesn’t get a gun shoved in his face for telling the mayor or the governor or the President to get on the job! What do you say? It’s up to you! If you’ve learned somewhere along the way, to think for yourself your’re on the first rung of Fortune’s ladder . . . but if you haven’t... Wake up and start learning! Be an alert American, a better citizen of your town, and a better citizen of your world! PAGE FOUR Whatever you were this year . . . water-boy, cheer¬ leader, student, staff member or innodent bystander it doesn’t matter . . . because it’s a good bet you had fun anyway. The right to express ourselves freely is the basis for the American belief in every individual’s ability to shape his own destiny. In¬ stead of taking it for granted let’s remember that if the young people of a good many countries were given the opportunity to “be themselves” and not puppets they would regard it as a duty and re¬ sponsibility, not a freedom. A good baseball player knows that using his glove every day keeps it flex¬ ible and in good condition . . . freedoms are the same way . . . using them keeps them flexible. Say what you think (after you think, of course!). And it will keep your mind in condition to meet the everchanging demands of the future! TO EXPRESS OURSELVES ADMINISTRATION Crown Point Schools welcomed two new administrators this year . . . J. Russel Hiatt as super¬ intendent, and Austin Walker as principal. Our school board mem¬ bers are Floyd Vance, secretary; Lowell Held, president; and Julius Greisel, treasurer. Protecting our freedom of speech and showing us how to use it to our best advantage are the lan¬ guage department teachers: op¬ posite page Miss Lauterbur, English, Journalism, and sponsor of THE INKLINGS; Miss Swartz English, Latin, and speech; Mrs. Tyler, English, Spanish and de¬ bate; Miss McKenzie, English and sponsor of EXCALIBUR; and Mrs. Mracek, English; Miss Shelby is our librarian, and di¬ rects the Junior and Senior plays. PAGE six A teacher effects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Henry Adams PAGE SEVEN TEACHERS The vocational department gives actual occupational training to high school students who are not able to go to college. Our vocational department teachers are: Mr. Church, machine shop; Mr. Hale, mechanical drawing; Miss Kessler, home economics; Miss Newcomb, home economics; Mr. Kyle, typing, high school math, and book keeping; Miss Rickenbaugh, typing and shorthand; and Mr. Dean, agriculture and driver’s training. Physical training and health instructions are essential in the development of the leaders of tomorrow. Our teachers are Mrs. Palmer, gym and health; Mr. Black, gym, health, business arithmetic, and line coach; and Mr. Carnahan, football coach, algebra, and health. The history department explains the operation of our government and the benefits of democracy. The history teachers include: Mr. Snider, civics and basketball coach; and Mrs. Seamson, U. S. History, and World History. The mathmatics and science instructors are of utmost importance in this age of progress. Mr. Cochran, chemistry, physics, trigonometry, solid geometry and ad¬ vanced algebra; Mr. Ruby, biology and track; and Mr. Scales, algebra and plane geometry. Band and chorus provide the experience of working with other people to form one final product. Mr. Ewing teaches band, chorus, and A Cappella. PAGE NINE SPORTS The Junior-Senior prom puts a fine finish on the activities of the year. Nothing else could coax the football or track boys to shed their spikes, nothing else could prompt the Science Club members to desert their atoms and cer¬ tainly nothing else could draw the INKLINGS and EXCALIBUR staff members away from their ink pens and glue bottles. It gives the seniors a last chance to get together and remember the winning touchdowns, the basketball games that won on over time bas¬ kets, the Booster “pep sessions”, the Friday dances, the plays, the spur of the moment staff meetings during homeroom, and all the odds and ends that come under the heading “extra-curricular”! All in all one might say that this year the ACTIVITIES were very ACTIVE! EVERYBODY LOVES A PARADE And out in front, the C. P. H. S. Band with Ed Cutshaw as drum major, Georgene Schmal, Gwen Harmon, and Livena Wil¬ liams as majorettes. The instrumental organizations of Crown Point High School were very active at school functions dur¬ ing 1950-1951. Beginning with football games, the band and majorettes took part in maneuvers, public concerts on November 19, and Band Members pictured above, reading from left to right, Row 1: J. Smith, C.

The outstanding activity of the Hi-Y for 1950-51 was acting as host at the District Meeting of the Hi- Y groups from this region on October 2, at the Ranch House. Informal discussions and panels were presented by local mem¬ bers and groups from the represented schools. Other activities included several dances, the annual Sunshine-Hi-Y Hop at Christmas and ushering and clean up at the Christmas basketball tournament. AT THE DISTRICT CONVENTION In the bottom picture officers Bud Beaman, vice president; Jim Biegel, presi¬ dent; Mr. Snider, sponsor; Philip Carl, treasurer; and Elwyn Buche, secre¬ tary, outline the next move.

SUNSHINE SOCIETY An impressive candlelight initation of all new members, attending the district convention at Flora in October, delivering baskets to needy families at Thanks¬ giving, and running a checkroom at home basketball games kept Sunshiners busy this fall. At Christmas time Sunshiners delivered baskets of toys to needy families and co-sponsored with the Hi-Y a semiformal holiday dance. The Hi-Y and S. S. co-sponsor a dancing class during the winter also. Spring brings the An¬ nual Rose Dance and the May breakfast, at which the incoming officers are in¬ stalled. Proceeds from all S. S. activities go to the Riley Memorial Children’s Hos¬ pital in Indianapolis. RESOLVED THAT: This year’s debaters gained radio experience by presenting several programs over station WWCA. That four debaters joined in recogni- zation of the United Nations Week by speaking on “Evaluation of the United Nations” before the Rotary Club and attended the Purdue Debater’s Conference in December. Resolved that the seeing is believing, we see these C. P. debators pictured above in action and bottom seated from left to right—Tom Dickerman, Betty Jaeger, Ann Tullis, Bob Parry, Standing left to sixteen right — Ed Cutshaw A j Teagle, Ed Dickerman, and Dick Patterson. The Voice of Democracy?—The Student Council! “You scream, ah scream, we all scream for ice cream! and “Wanta buy a potato chip?” Are familiar chants of council members who strive valiantly to raise money for various worthwhile school projects. The Student Council contributes much to CPHS students for it is res¬ ponsible for the splendid Friday morning assembly programs, religi¬ ous convocations at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and it is responsible for the Christmas and Spring decorations that add beauty to CPHS. The freshman and sophomore council members Janet Hed- lof. Sue Lunbeck, treasurer, Nancy Kubal, and Shirley Thienes enjoy equal rights with their upper classmen. (Jackie Roysdon, and Ver¬ non Campbell were absent when the picture was taken.) The junior and senior stu¬ dent council members are shown above, drawing up plans for a big project. They are Jerry Larson, Bud Beaman, Elwyn Buche, Vice- President; Joan Dunn, Sec¬ retary; Dick Welch, (Betty Jaeger, president, was ab¬ sent when the picture was taken.)

HURRY UP! WE HAVE DEAD LINES TO MEET! Where’s the copy for page two? Why didn’t anyone do the headlines for the editorials? You mean that typing I told you to do, isn’t done? When do the drawings have to be done? Hurry! Hurry! Maybe at a time like that you might catch one of the INKLINGS’ staff members muttering “Down with free press!” but if you give them time to meet their deadlines and wash the mineograph ink out of their eyes, they’ll tell you they wouldn’t trade that privilege for anything else in the world! They know the men and women who fought for the right to print the truth as they saw it seldom have had bronze statues dedicated to them but they know, too, that every news sheet in the country, from the INKLINGS to the NEW YORK TIMES and every eager cub reporter is an untarnished memorial to the way of life they believe in—the American system of Free Press—a standard worth living up to! PAGE EIGHTEEN Give me a yearbook orgive me death! is our motto Paraphrasing what one great American had to say. If you think a year book just “grows” drop in to room 9i 2 and watch the staff at work? Liberty and yearbooks are practically the same thing, because if you think the young people of a dictatorship would ever be allowed to leave their drills and marches to tinker with such trifles as tradition, posterity, memories or dreams of the future, you’re wrong! And if you’re not satisfied—go to work—help keep it at least as won¬ derful as it is! If you aren’t satisfied—change it! That’s your privilege and your responsibility, remember, in America YOU are your own Boss. Senior staff members Roberta Van Slyke, edi¬ tor, Phyllis Rosenthal; A1 Phillips; Jane Vance, Bill Prange, and Bob Laney are pictured check¬ ing over some mounting while old timers Pat Reilly and Elwyn Buche help prospective staff members plan a sales campaign.

EINSTEIN EN MASSE The Science Club gives the student a chance to practice and live as a minature democratic government. A student may come and go as he wishes. He can do what he wants to at these meetings. If he wants to break a test tube or a jolly balance he may, but as in a democracy when breaking rules or test tubes, as the case may be, he PAYS!

Presented by the class of 1951 in their Junior year turned out to be a successful comedy re¬ volving around one Paul Jones. Paul’s hobby was photography and seemingly insignificant pictures got him into more trouble than he dreamed possible, trouble that did not cease until the final curtain fell. Splendid performances were turned in by an entire cast that included left, Jane Vance and Ruth Stronach.

HUCK FINN . . . . When Tom Sawyer visited his Aunt Sally, he expected to have a good time, but good times turned into exciting adventure when Tom’s friend, Huck Finn, drifted down the Mississippi to Aunt Sally’s. A good time was enjoyed by those who saw the class of 1951’s presentation of this delightful story. Members of the cast are seen at our right in scenes from Huck Finn.

PAGE TWENTY-THREE Ave and Saludos to the Language Students LATIN CLUB The “Latin Club” promotes education and citizenship. First, the students may learn much about Roman life, which they or¬ dinarily couldn ' t receive in Latin class be¬ cause of the time required. This gives the student a better background for the study of the Latin language and the people who used it, and so through the “Latin Club”, we may acquire a better understanding of our own language and civilization. Hola! is the South American way to say “Hi! Neighbor!” and KNOWLEDGE is the Pan American way to create understand¬ ing. Languages promote interest in the customs and people of other countries, without such interest the world can never achieve unity and without unity the World can achieve nothing! A deep bow to our Good Neighbors in the Spanish class! SPANISH CLUB Hit ' em High, Hit ' em Low Go Team Go! The battle cry of the Booster Club demonstrates the unsub- duable spirit that drives the team on to victory. Barbara Peterson, president of the or¬ ganization, is shown talking over plans for a pep rally with Vice President Candy Drop- sey and Secretary Joan Teagle. Smear’em and they did . . . Crown Point ran this way and that. The cheer¬ leaders and crowd yelled for slaughter and got it when C. P. beat Lowell 20-C. _ ARTISTS LIFE ' Miss Richards’ “senior kiddies’’ met for their informal art classes at the South Ward Grade School. For their assignments they drew anything from local architecture to portraits of each other (any resemblance was purely accidental). They also made some very interesting wire sculpture, which was exhibited in the display windows in the high school. Making paper mache puppet heads proved to be fun even if it was a bit messy. For Christmas they printed original (?) Christmas cards. One day our future artists agreed the class room needed a new face, so they set to work with paint brush¬ es and painted all the tables and cabinets. A study of design proved to be one of the most interesting parts of the course. Art Students shown here are, standing: Roberta Van Slyke, Al Phillips, Miss Richards, Glen Adams, Norma Schroeter, Ann Marie Bowers, Mary Dannehl, Kathleen Fran- zek, Joann Smith. Seat¬ ed: John Straka, Mary Spurr, Eva Worsley, and Barbara Boesel.

This group has served at the Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas Religious Assembly throughout the year, presented “The Messiah” at a special Christ¬ mas program, and broadcasted several times over station WJOB. The Triple Trio took part in these same programs and sang before many civic organizations of Crown Point. PAGE TWENTY-I SPORT LIGHTS Bulldogs Enjoy Best Season Since ' 45 The Bulldogs under the able direction of Coaches Carnahan and Black, finished the season with an impressive record of 6 wins and 3 losses. The squad, made up mainly of sophomores and juniors with a few veteran seniors, fought their way through a tough 9 game schedule and ended the season third in the Calumet Conference. The Bulldogs started the season by entertaining the Vikings of Valparaiso. The tight struggle was decided when, with the ball on the ten yard line, the Bulldogs attempted a flat pass and the errant fumble was picked up by Bailey, who sped 95 yards for the T. D. to win the game for Valpo 20-12. The second game was won by C. P. in a tight 13-12 struggle with Lowell on the home field. The Bulldogs then journeyed to Merrillville where they dropped a close 13-7 contest to the Pirates. In the next game the Bulldogs trounced the Troopers of Wirt 20-0. In the toughest game of the season, the Bulldogs edged Hobarts vaunted Brickies 8-7 on a safety. The Bulldogs then traveled to Rensselaer to spoil an elabor¬ ate homecoming celebration by defeating the Bombers 19-7. In the next game they easily defeated their arch-rivals, the Red Devils of Lowell, 20-0. The Bulldogs then tangled with the champion Panthers of Griffith in a regular peir-8 brawl. Hampered by injuries to the players, the Bulldogs lost their bid for the championship 22-6. In the final contest of the season the Bulldogs came from behind and smashed the undefeated Dyer Indians 19-7. MIGHTY MEN Small but mighty John Tutza was voted CPHS’S number one football player for the 1950 season by his teammates. Added to this honor was the unanimous decision of the coaches of the Calumet Conference that Tutza be entitled to a first team position on the conference all stars. Mont Woods, mister big of the team was voted co-captain by his teammates and elected to the second all star con¬ ference team. Tim Johnston’s consistent running and tackling and Don Foster ' s punting and passing won them a co-captainship by election of their teammates, and hon¬ orable mention on the conference all star team. The Varsity football team pictured above is: Row 1, Tim Johnston, Don Foster, Dick Welch, Kenny Schaffer, Vernon Sergant, George Middleton, John Tutza, John Handley, Wayne Strong. Row 2, Ted Gruenhagen, Bob Meadows, Don Burge, Norbert Luebcke, Kenny Blakeman, Stan Barr, Don Patz, Harry Petry. Row 3, Don McLean, Bob Pattee, Mont Wood, Bud Beaman, John Friend, Pat Reilly, Bob Laney, and Bob Kelsey. The student managers for our grid-iron squad are: Jim Wood, Roland Wise, and Myron Algrim.

Coach Joe Black is the advisor for the Lettermen’s Club, an organiza¬ tion whose membership is avaliable to all boys who have won a major letter in any one of five major sports. This well-balanced athletic program offers many opportunities for the student to participate according to his special interests and abilities. The Lettermen’s Club membership in¬ cludes individuals from almost every phase of school athletic life. School activities of the Letter-man ' s Club for the 1950-51 included: The Sock Hop November 6, the sponsoring of a school bus for the sectional basket¬ ball tourney, and a talent show held on February 27, including talent from all of Crown Point High.

A cheerleader must maintain a high scholastic record, strong character, and be a good sport. Varsity basketball team Dick Becker, Elwyn Buche, Don Dietel, John Friend Bob Laney, Don MacLean, Don Patz, Al Phillips Bulldog Hoopsters Have Successful Season The “51” Bulldog edition had everything a good basketball team needs physically, one of the tallest teams in the conference, but lacked the all-impor¬ tant experience. Suffering a midseason slump which is characteristic of young teams, they finished the season with eleven wins and ten losses. The Bulldogs started the season in fine style by de¬ feating the Valpo Vikings in Boucher Gym. This was the first of a four game winning streak ex¬ tending through the Merrillville, Hebron, and Mor- roco game. Then the undefeated Bulldogs met their fate at Memorial Auditorium in Gary when they took on a hot Gary Edison 5 and were trounc¬ ed 67-38. However, our Bulldogs were not bothered by this as they walloped Lowell 60-53 in their next game. They returned to Memorial and defeated Gary Wirt 52-39. Sporting a record of 6 wins and 1 loss the Bulldogs entered the holiday tourney the favorite to cop their first title. After getting by Lowell in the first game, they lost to Merriville 43-39 in the semi-finals. Then the slump began, aided by injuries, small gyms, and the ever-present greenness, they lost successive games to Dyer, Griffith, Hobart. Knox, and Merrillville. After a stirring pep session the Bulldogs walloped the Kouts Mustangs. 57-31. They then were beaten by Portage (Porter County Champions) in a well played game, 53-49. The Bulldogs came back and defeated thee Lowell Red Devils for the third time this year, 57-47. The next game was with East Gary which they won 56-55. The lost their final game to Rennsselaer sectional champs 53-44. Then came the crowning achievment of an other¬ wise average season. Crown Point 55, Hammond Technical 47. The Bulldogs put on a dazzling exhibition of passing and shooting to run away with the game in the last few minutes. Don Dietel and Al Phillips playing perhaps, the finest game of their high school careers, led the underdog Bulldogs to a decisive victory. The game featured deadly shoot¬ ing, hard driving and fierce rebounding as the Crown Point forwards continually out rebounded the taller Tigers of Tech. In the second round the Bulldogs lost to a fast breaking Clark team, which trounced them 32-64. The usual starting lineup featured the two fine senior guards, Al Phillips and Don Dietel; Sopho¬ more John Friend at center; Freshman Dick Becker, and Junior Don McLean acted as for¬ wards. Also instrumental in many of the Bulldog wins were Pat Reilly, who was injured in mid¬ season, and Elwyn Buche. The Bulldogs had one of the tallest front lines in the county with Friend- 6’-3”, Becker-6 ' -4”, and McLean-6’-2“. The con¬ tinued improvement of Jerry Johnston, 5’-ll”; and Ed Zellars 6’-3”, warranted their playing a good portion of the sectional games. It was the opinion of many of the top sports- writers covering the Hammond Sectional, that the Bulldogs have the most potent combination of underclassmen assembled in a down county school in many a year. If the young Bulldogs develop as predicted they will be one of the more powerful quintets in the Conference, bar none! Among these prospects we feel sure that in the coming years the Bulldogs will be the team to beat in the Calumet Region. 195 Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Crown Jerry Johnston, Tim Johnston Pat Reilly, Ed Zellars I Basketball Schedule Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point Point . 45 Valporaiso . 41 . 57 Merrillville 55 . 58 Hebron . 57 —jl . 36 Morocco . 34 . 38 Gary Edison . 67 . 60 Lowell . 53 . 52 Gary Wirt . 39 . 29 Dyer . 37 . 34 Griffith . 61 . 49 Hobart . 57 . 45 Knox . 53 . 38 Merrillville . 60 . 57 Kouts . 31 __ 49 Portage . 53 . 57 Lowell .. 47 . 56 East Gary . 55 . 44 Rensselaer . 53 Holiday Tourney . 46 Lowell . 35 . 39 Merrillville . 53 Hammond Sectional _55 Hammond Tech . 47 . 32 Hammond Clark . 64 Total Won 11 Lost 10 The Bulldogs lined up according to height in their warmup uniforms are: Don Deitei, Elwyn Buche, Tim John¬ ston, Jerry Johnston, Don Patz, Pat Reilly, Bob Laney, Al Phillips, Don McLean, Ed Zellars, John Friend, Dick Becker; and Coach Dean Snider standing at the right.

BULLDOG RESERVES WIN 12, LOSE 6 Sparked by Jerry Johnston and Ed Zellars at the first of the season and the continued improvement of Roland Wise in the last few games the Bulldogs re¬ serves turned ir, a fine season record of 12-6. The reserves also started the season in fine style with successive wins over Valpo, Merrillville, and Hebron but were upset by Morocco, 35-28. The starting lineup changed from game to game as the players improved rapidly, but usually con¬ tained Jerry Johnston and Roland Wise at guards, Ed Zellars at center, and Bob Meadows, Ralph Skoog, or Ed Kedzo at forwards. This combination was helped im¬ mensely by the freshmen, notably Jim Schmal and Clarence Boesel, when Zellars and Johnston went up to the varsity. The fine sophomore-freshman team suffered many of their 6 losses to junior studded opponents. The reserves also won a 4 team tourney by edging a tough Grffith 5, 30-25 and then running roughshod over the Hobart Brickies, 50-22 in the final. FRESH1ES WIN 10—LOSE 1 Continuing his tradition of fine ball clubs, Charles Isley produced a fine Freshman quintet which won 10 and lost only 1. The main factors in the Freshman successes were Jim Schmal, Clarence Bosel, Ron Waymire, Vern Campbell, and Dave McMicheal. The Freshman unleashed a balanced attack, characteristic of the Isley Coached teams to win 6 of their first 7 games. They were defeated in the first round of the Freshman tourney by Gary Edison. The Freshman reserves suffered their only loss at the hands of Valpo, 23-20. They finished the season with an admirable record of 11 wins and 1 loss.

Ronn Barr, Elwyn Buche, Tim Johnston, and Coach Mac Ruby may look worried in the top pictures but you can bet they weren’t! For it was with Barr’s winning the mile, Buche’s qualification in the pole vault, and John¬ ston’s qualification in the low hurdles that qualified Coach Ruby’s thin-clads from Crown Point for the Re- gionals. Floyd Adams, Bob Mea¬ dows, Tim Johnston, and Don Dietel were pretty hap¬ py after one of their good races! All of our speed demons re¬ laxing after a practice run around the track . . . look like speedy boys, don’t they? The boys who really pounded the turf, the cross country team, though they could not pull a single meet out of the fire, remained calm, courageous, and undaunted by the whole ordeal! CROSS COUNTRY The team included: top picture; Floyd Adams, Jim Warner, Don Dietel, Al Phillips; and bottom picture; Dick Patterson, Jerry Johnston, and Ed Zellars. The 1950 baseball team is pictured above with Coach Carnahan and Manager Tom Platt and Gordon Gerdt. BATTER UP! PLAY BALL! C. P. baseball fans ignored the spring slush and turned out full force to back their pride and joy, the ' 50 team. The Bulldogs paced by pitchers, Phillips and Dunkley and Don Foster as their competent backstop came through with a record of 7 victories and 3 losses. Individual pictures on page 44 include: Stan Barr, Bud Beaman, Don Dunkley, Chuck Edgington, Don Foster, Bob Gerlach, Clayton Hoevet, Tom Jensen, Bob Kedzo, Don Patz, Hershall Plants, Al Phillips, Don McLean, George Middleton, Lamar Reed, and Jerry 1950 SCHEDULE Crown Point _ 2 Crown Point _ 1 Crown Point . 12 Crown Point . 0 Crown Point . 5 Crown Point . 5 Crown Point . 3 Crown Point . 3 Crown Point _ 3 Crown Point . 23 Lowell ..... 1 Merrillville _ 0 Wheeler . 4 Dyer . 2 Portage _ 8 Griffith _ 4 East Gary . 2 Edison . 1 Lew Wallace . 8 Hebron . 2 PAGE FORTY-FOUR Kay Barmore Mildred Blinn Ed Dickerman Carmen Francis Anne Hathaway Tim Johnston Joyce Hooseline Paula Krost Karen Meeker Marion Moe Al Phillips Joan Teagle Jane Vance Roberta Van Slyke NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Each year the faculty elects fifteen percent of the graduating class to the Na¬ tional Honor Society. Seniors merit membership in the Society on the basis of their scholastic records plus qualities of service, leadership, and general at¬ titude toward themselves, their fellow students, and their teachers. All of these are necessary in making up a valuable citizen and an intelligent leader. Jane Vance received the D. A. R. Award this year and Ed Dickerman the Science Award. PAGE FORTY-SIX SENIORS They’ve had their fun . . . these Seniors! They’ve had their Senior play and their interclass basketball trophy and their Senior day ... so if you hear them whistling “We love the halls of Crown Point High . . or singing something about being buddies “Long after graduation day . . you’ll know they mean it! Gladly, yet more than a little regretfully, the Seniors of ’51 will clutch their shiney new diplomas in shaking hands and bow out to make way for the promising ’52ers. No one can tell at the moment whether or not the new grads will succeed in making t heir dreams realities but if they do . . . they’ll remember who it was that helped them over the first rough spots. They’ll remember be¬ cause . . . well, because they do love the halls of C. P. H. S. and thus will not forget though they be far, far away! They’ll remember someday and they’ll wish they’d found some way to say Thank You! The officers of the senior class are President Al Phillips, Secretary Joan Teagle taking notes, Treasurer Don Thies and Vice President Elwyn Buche look on.
