The cast is taking it easy after the final night of hard work and fun. Ah, Love! Jack, Jerry Johnston, is saying to Angie, Mickey McClenthen, I ' ve thought about it a long time ... I want you to be my girl.” Dented fenders and balloon tires for breakfast,” Mr. Marrow, Bob Hobson, complains to daughter Margaret, Betty Sigler, about other daughter Kitty, Millie Holland. Here we see the cast preparing for the big night. Seventeenth Summer Have you spent a Seventeenth Summer? Well, Angie Marrow, Mickey McClenthen had a wonderful one. She went to her first big dance and met her first boy friend. With two exceptions, her best friends, Jane, Jessica Stronach, and Margie, Barbara Thompson, all would have ended well, but Margie talked too much and Jane stole Angie’s boy friend Jack, Jerry Johnston. Angie’s family also added sparkle to the plot: Mr. and Mrs. Marrow, Bob Hobson and Annie Bowers, Kitty, Millie Holland, Margaret, Betty Sigler, her fiance, Marvin Boles and Lorraine and her hope, Dorothy Glassford and Don Nelson. Abo adding charm to this delightful comedy were Richard Holtz and Jim Wood.

The real test of any band and its members are the contests which it enters and in which they perform to the best of their ability. (The contests that the Crown Point High School regularly entered until this year are: the Northern Indiana School Band and Orchestra Association solo and ensemble contest, for individual competition; and the N. I. S. B. O. V. organization contest for the band as a whole.) This year the band did not enter the organization contest. The district con¬ tests put the talents of many bands from the Calumet area, and the state contest brings to¬ gether talent from all over the state. The par¬ ticipants in both district and state contests are given ratings, indicating their degree of talent. These ratings are: superior, excellent, good, satis¬ factory, and unsatisfactory (The last two ratings are rarely used and their omission is being con¬ sidered) . In the district solo and ensemble contests held at Gary Edison, the following Crown Point stu¬ dents received superior ratings: Joan Vaughn, playing the French horn; Betty Sigler, with a flute solo; Bob Heisterberg on the cornet; Betty Sigler and Claire Phillips playing a flute duet; and Eppler Gruenhagen and Richard Blanchard in a piano duet. The solo and ensemblists also did well at the state contest where Joan Vaughn and the Betty Sigler-Claire Phillips duo again received superior ratings. Excellent rating was also awarded to Betty Sigler for her flute solo, and a good rating was given to Eppler Gruenhagen-Richard Blanchard piano duo. The band’s ratings in the contest bear out the many hours of practice and work put in by musicians and director. Row 1: H. Martin, D. Melcher, J. Meyer, E. Thornberg, B. Hull, M. Fronek, P. Trump, E.

Girl Shy Here we meet two young men, Tom Arsdale, Marvin Boles, who is serious and quiet, and Oke Stimson, Don Nelson, who is gay, irresponsible, and flippant. Oke tries (later succeeds) to get Tom, who is girl shy, to meet Babs Sanford, Betty Sigler, but Tom wasn’t interested. The story revolves around an amusing plot and all ends well. Also in the cast are Caroline, Mary Aiken, Anthony Arsdale, John Reinerio, Sylvia Webster, Tom’s pet aversion. Barb Thompson, Dean Marlow, Dick Holtz, Peaches Carter, Oke’s present weakness, Asma, Ann Bowers, a colored wash lady,” Birdie Laverne, Dorothy Glassford, Alfred Tennyson Murgatroyd, the college poet, Jim Wood, and Chuch Mayo, George VanDenberg, Birdie’s late affinity.
