_ THE RECORD OF 1955 AT CROWN POINT HIGH SCHOOL CROWN POINT, INDIANA Opening Section Activities . Sports . Peopl Advertising . 1955 EXCALIBUR IN KEEPING WITH THE TIMES The world outside Crown Point High School affects us more than we some¬ times realize. We get so engrossed in our personal surroundings we seldom absorb world events. The Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches convened in Aug¬ ust at Evanston, Illinois. The Festival of Faith at Soldier Field united Chris¬ tians of all countries. A nation-wide fight against infantile paralysis, a dreaded erippler, com¬ menced with the vaccination of thous¬ ands of children. Further research is conquering polio. The yellow brick shop building is an addi¬ tion to our school campus this year. It was started in June, 1954, and finished in March, 1955. The total cost of the building was $100,- 000. There are three shop areas and three class¬ rooms. Beside the storage rooms in both the wood shop and the machine shop, a special paint shop with coil heating and drying is at¬ tached to the wood shop. EXPANSION OF VOCATIONAL PROGRAM Page four To keep up with the growing needs of the shop classes, the new shop building was completed this spring. There are large spacious rooms with plenty of storage space for both the wood shop and the machine shop. The modern top feed-rail electrical system makes moving the various machines around the shop possible. Both of the shop classes are able to use the lecture room when “book work” or explanations of their work are needed. Each of the shop teachers has an office with windows through which he can see the entire shop. The new drafting room has special lighting as well as large window space. Nora Vance, Ron Helsel Page five The boys who are taking agriculture will have access to the farm shop, which has a door for large machinery that they might, want to study or repair. A small laboratory with a sink and cabinets is connected to the agriculture classroom. On one end of the building there is a garage which will be used for the school buses. Bob Kauffman, Lester Hale, Lyle Monzulla DCE PROVIDES ON THE JOB TRAINING This is the second full year that our high school has had a Diversified Co¬ operative Education program. The pro¬ gram, one of twenty-six such programs in the state, has been established to integrate classroom learning with on- the-job training. The employer must provide a two semester course of training with at least fifteen hours work each week. At least one school period each day is devoted to the study of related subjects. The school recommends boys sixteen or over in the junior and senior classes who seem interested and are qualified for the training. The Crown Point hoys are engaged in carpentering, variety store work, print¬ ing, auto mechanics, service station work, radio and television repairing, auto body repairing, office management and watch repairing. Laurence Blanchard not only studies watch repairing in school, but he also applies his knowledge to more practical use in a local jewelry store, where he gains valuable experience. Laurence takes an active part in our DCE program. Here he is shown studying watch repairing at school. Laurence is the only hoy in the state studying this par¬ ticular trade on the DCE program. Page six ADULT CLASSES “Never to old to learn”. Yes, many adults attend night classes here at Crown Point to further themselves in their daily work. The federal government finances these educational programs at the dif¬ ferent schools. Occasionally, courses such as driver’s training, sewing, com¬ mercial work, and shop are offered here at Crown Point. At the present the Adult Trade Ex¬ tension courses here at Crown Point are limited to welding and related drawing classes. The classes meet two nights a week for about eight months with no expenses except a registration fee. As the students complete their course they are given a certificate which states how much training they have received. While attending adult classes Mr. Howard Harris is studying machine blue prints which coordinate with his Mr. Hale looks on and gives his approval to the plans Mr. and Mrs. Lynch have drawn up for their new After completing milling attach¬ ments Mr. Wm. Gill made a large ring so that he could finish making his machine.

They spent a lot of time painting the clever drawings and sayings on them, and as you can see, the results were gratifying. One of the new things in footwear for the girls was knee-length stockings, ranging from pastels to bright colored argvles. NEW FADS-FASH 10NS HIT STUDENT BODY The three girls wearing the latest in knee socks are Judy McClenthen, Deanna Traylor and Dana Polomchak. Janet Mair, Jo Greiner and Judy Owen are shown wearing the long heads, one of the most popular fads of the year. Is it a box cut? A D.A.? A Don Eagle? Or a combination of all three? Shown below are Clair Knapp, Mike Hanlon and Jim Cooper with a few of the new hair cuts for the boys. Page nine We’re not going back to the gay 1920’s, it’s just the big thing in necklaces for ’55. Hardly a girl at Crown Point High was without a pair of the long beads or “ropes.” They were found in every con¬ ceivable color and made of everything from wood to glass. The boys, in ’55, became quite conscious of their haircuts. They introduced some new and different styles, the most popular of which were the crewcuts and D. A.’s. Some were more elaborate and brushed their hair into their own unusual styles. Opposite page—Standing around the bulletin board in their senior cords are Larry Haniford, AI Seramur. Barbara Petry, Ron Phillips, and Kay McAboy. “You just don’t find them around here no more”—we mean TV’s funny man, George Gobel. The “Romance of the Century” rocked the people of Hollywood when film star Monroe and baseball’s DiMag- gio fanned out at home. Former Premier Mendes France urged French citizens to drink milk instead of wine. Five U. S. Congressmen were wounded in a tumultuous outbreak when a group of Puerto Ricans invaded the House of Representatives. HOLLY HOP BECOMES ANNUAL El ENT This is the third year that the PTA has provided first-rate entertainment for the floorshow at the prom. These acts have appeared on television and at nightclubs. On the first Monday of each month the Parent Education Group met to discuss teenage problems. A film on adolescence was followed by informal discussions. For the first time the PTA offered a scholarship of $150 to a gradua tin g senior or an alumni of our school who is going to major in education. The win¬ ner must be planning to attend an Indiana school. Mr. Ervin leans against the old- fashioned pump as he talks with Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Briggs at the Holly Hop. Among the crowd mingling in the lohhy at the Holly Hop were: Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mr. Rapp, Mr. and Mrs. lams, Clair Knapp and Dr. Tullis. The welfare of both the school and the com¬ munity is the concern of the PTA. Leading the PTA this year are: President, Mrs. Ross Archer: Vice President, Mrs. William Kincy; Secretary, Miss Alice Lauterbur: and Treasurer, Mr. Howard Harris. A varied program was planned for the PTA this year, which included a film, “God and the Atom”, and speakers on foreign affairs, recreation, and music. Students provided the music and read the invocations at the meetings. On March 14, the seniors presented their annual program. In order to raise funds, the PTA sponsored the Holly Hop. The teenagers and adults danced in the “Empire Room”, while the grade school stu¬ dents and the junior high had fun with games in the “Casino”. Everyone enjoyed the good food that was served in the “Pump Room”. The Holly Hop, one of the few real social events for the whole family, was so successful that it will be made an annual event. The Republican Senator McCarthy from Wisconsin was censured by the Senate for conducting unethical investigations of Army’s Pvt. David Shine. One of the famous Dionne quintuplets, Emilie, died after an epileptic seizure. The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry’s newest exhibition is the cap¬ tured German submarine U-505. Transport¬ ing the sub involved complications. Even tlie cold weather couldn’t keep an excited crowd from coming to the Crown Point football games. Led by the cheerleaders, Nancy Desky, Carole Kimberlin and Marilyn Foss, we hacked our team “all the way”. IN KEEPING WITH THE TIMES At any home football game, juniors could be seen industriously working at the refreshment stand. ftj m I Cries of: “Hot dogs, cokes, candy, and hot coffee here!” could be heard across the new football field from the junior stand, as the Class of ’56 opened up for business. Each year the junior class takes charge of the concession stand at all home foot¬ ball games. All profits from the stand go to help the juniors pay for the Junior- Senior Prom held in May. Mr. Lehner, junior class sponsor, reports that 3,120 bottles of coke, 1,560 hot dogs, 1,621 cups of coffee, and quite a bit of gum, candy, and ice cream bars were sold this year for a clear profit of $350. After the completion of the new football field Mr. Carnahan called the advertising manager of the Coca-Cola Company in Gary to see if he knew where we could get a score board for our football field. Coca-Cola not only got us one but they gave it to us and even put it up! Page thirteen Chuckie Hartley, senior, in center, was elected Homecoming Queen by the student body. Her attendants were: Lee Fifield, freshman; Margie Teglas, junior; Martha Heisterberg, senior; and Joanna Reis, sophomore. A GLIMPSE OF OUR SOCIAL WHIRL Nancy Desky, sophomore, was crowned Rose Queen by Carole Barmore, Sunshine president. The other candidates were Joanne Henderlong, freshman; Phyllis Wood, junior: and Greta Lou Hartley, senior. Something that we all look forward to in our high school activities are the Friday night dances. They are sponsored every week by different classes and clubs. Most of the dances are just ordinary dances where the students wear school clothes. We also have some jean dances or sock hops and some semi-formal dances. One of our semi-formal dances was the Rose Dance, sponsored by the Sunshine Society. Nancy Desky was crowned Rose Queen, with Greta Lou Hartley, Joanne Henderlong, and Phyllis Wood in the court for queen. Last fall Charlotte Hartley was crowned Homecoming Queen at the Homecoming Dance. Margie Teglas, Lee Fifield, Martha Heisterberg, and Joanna Reis were other candidates. The Sunshine Society and the Hi-Y sponsored a very enjoyable semi- formal dance last December. Ron Lockhart, Pat Gauthier, Judy Heckel, and Bob Spry were two of the many couples who attended the Christmas Semi-Formal. CLASS SCENES Senior High students this year found that classes were conducted, not only in the main building on West Joliet Street, but over in the Community Building as well. During the first semester, one could find girls’ physical education classes in session downstairs while the boys’ health and safety classes were in session upstairs. Agriculture classes were conducted all year long in the Community Building, but when the second semester started, the girls had health and safety while the boys had gym class. Page sixteen Crown Point High School offers a ' very wide selection of courses to its students. For students who plan to go to college, an acedemic course is pro¬ vided. Languages such as Latin, French, Spanish, and, of course, English are included in this along with math courses ranging from alge¬ bra to trigonometry. There are also science and social studies courses ranging from biology to physics, and world geography to United States his¬ tory, and many others. A ocational courses are provided for students planning to enter a chosen vocation upon the completion of high school. A very educational course in home economics is offered to girls who are interested. Our commercial, industrial arts, and agricultural courses are highly rated because these courses give a close study of the subject. Musically inclined students will find our music department quite ade¬ quate, offering chorus, band and others. Besides the courses already men¬ tioned, there are manv electives such as art, dramatics, speech, journalism, and driver’s training; thus giving the students enrolled in Crown Point High School very fine and advan¬ tageous educational opportunities. Looking over one of the seventh grade science projects are Mrs. Kyle, Sandra Perry, and Judy Gail Wood. Page seventeen There may be a contrast in the heights of big Keith Perry and diminutive Sharon Hershey, but as of last September, both Sharon and Keith attended classes in the same building. The former fifth graders, 44 in number, from Timothy Ball transferred directly to the High School instead of South Ward for the sixth grade, and their classes are held in what was formerly the Agriculture Room. Our sixth graders use the area immediately in back of the library as a play area. Their school hours are much the same as the high school’s, commencing at 8:30 and concluding at 3:40. The flames roared high and so did the school spirit and the cheers of the Crown Point students as they watched the Homecoming Victory Bonfire the eve¬ ning before the E. C. Roosevelt game which took place on November 5. This bonfire was the first such event to take place in Crown Point High School history and was looked forward to with great antici¬ pation. All the students feverishly planned for and eagerly collected all movable and b urnable objects with which to feed the fire. Page eighteen IN KEEPING WITH THE TIMES Miss Jessup is helping her journalism class meet their dead-line for the school newspaper. This year the INKLINGS was changed from a hi-weekly to a weekly pub¬ lication. This year, for the first time in the history of Crown Point High School, Inklings was changed to a weekly publica¬ tion. Put out by the single journalism class, the paper attempted to cover every phase and section of school activity, including for the first time in its beat, the junior high school. The Inklings also held active membership in the National Scholastic Press Association and Indiana High School Press Association. Last year several publications people attended a journalism conference held at Franklin College and another at Indiana University. Barbara Petry, editor imu-iiifc . p r „ SUBSCRIPTION H Who’s this young beauty Bob Spurr and Woody Kasch are gazing at so longingly? Why, it’s none other than Jerry “Jezabel” Kaiser direct from the chorus line in the Lettermen’s Variety Show. For the last three school years E been responsible for the praise wi raising and lowering our school flag. The New York Giants defeated the Cleveland Indians in the 1954 World Series. French nurse, Genevieve, became known as “Angel of Dien Bien Phu” for choosing to re¬ main at the beleaguered Indo-China Fort. The first atomic-powered submarine, Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Connecticut. Mail-order heir, Montgomery Ward Thorne’s mysterious death was attributed to pneumonia. Andrei Yashinski, 70, the Russian ambassa¬ dor, died of a heart attack in New York City. The Democrats gained control of both houses. Page twenty Give for Gay. This year during the Christinas holidays Gay Sundholm, a jun¬ ior, passed away. She was a victim of bul¬ bar polio. Her tragic death inspired the Student Council to proclaim the annual polio drive. The Gay Sundholm Memorial Drive. This is the only fund raising project sponsored by the high school. On January 20, at 10 a. m., the student body dug deep and contributed $725.11. Contributions were given on a competitive basis, senior homeroom 102 led with an average of S2.10 per person. Last year the school raised $518.00 tow T ard the fund. Cuney Kaiser and Mickey Petro¬ vich played a waiting game, as did many other homerooms, and rushed to the office with their money in the last moments of the drive hoping to have the largest total. STUDENTS DIG DEEP TO GIVE FOP GAY Miss Irwin and Mr. Allison are helping the students count the money collected in our school drive and list the totals from the various homerooms. Our student parking lot helps solve many of our parking problems. Stan Owen, Jim Hart¬ man and Jerry Gerlach are shown helping Jack Viant get his car started. THE LITTLE EXTRAS MEAN A LOT The library is a favorite gathering place for those students who still have their library cards. DRIVER ' TRAINING CAR Ddamjer Motor Si U-.s Mr. Naylor, one of our Driver’s Training teachers, is shown looking over the motor of the ir with a few of his student drivers. Within the last two years we have greatly improved our audio-visual aid program. The novies we obtain are not only of great interest to the students, but they also are valuable from i teaching standpoint. Mr. Carter’s junior history class is pictured viewing a current events Page twenty-three IN KEEPING WITH THE TIMES Twenty-three Japanese fishermen were burned eighty miles away from the bigger-than-expected U. S. hydrogen blast in the Marshall Islands. French designer Dior introduced the “H” line. Roger Bannister, an English interne, was first to reach the supposedly unattainable four-minute mile. Less then two months later the record was lowered to 3:58 by John Landy of Australia. Ohio State defeated U.C.L.A. in the Rose Bowl. The Art Club is one of the newly organized clubs approved by the Student Council. Mela Liptak, Chuck Taylor, Charlene Smith, and Kay McAboy stand around Eleanore Bobrowski as she puts the finishing touches on her drawing. The membership is open to anyone in the school that is interested in art. Miss Wagner is their sponsor. SUBJECT MATTER PROMOTES NEW CLUBS Isn’t it amazing what a wig, a little makeup and a dress can do? Rosemary Josh and Joyce Mills, two drama club members, are showing Dick Neely some pointers they have learned from Miss Crauder. The Drama Club, organized by Miss Crauder this year, marks another milestone. Studying scripts, makeup, and correct usage of a mic¬ rophone has in the past been limited to people in drama classes or casts of either of the plays. But now anyone can join, attend these meet¬ ings, and earn credits toward the National Thespian Troupe. The Projectionists Club, a chapter of the National Projectionist Club of America, was organized here this year. The membership is limited to hoys who operate the projectors, recorders, and phonographs. During their monthly meetings, Miss Kubal teaches the members such things as splicing film and mak¬ ing minor repairs on the equipment. The Modern Language Club is a name given to three different sections of language classes. This includes two Spanish classes and one French class. The membership is limited to students who have passed one semester of work in either language. This organization meets during the various class periods along with Mr. Naylor, their sponsor. It looks as though the Projec¬ tionist Club members are enjoy¬ ing one of the many movies they have shown throughout the year. The four boys are Bob Kauffman, Bob Spry, Rush Banton and Herb Entenmann. “Oui, je parle francais.” Pauline Walz, Bob Harris and Marion Cox seem quite interested in listening to Joyce Bowers recording in French. IN KEEPING WITH THE TIMES One of the main improvements of the physi¬ cal education department was the remodeling of the locker rooms at the Community Build¬ ing. Each side was equipped with modern showers, mirrors, supply rooms and offices for the gym teachers. These locker rooms are used by the girls and hoys daily gym classes and sports activities. Page twenty-six Dick Zurbriggen, Duane Hinton, Gary Love and Wayne Nelson now find drawing a pleas¬ ure as they work at the new tables provided for the drawing classes. NEW EQUIPMENT PLANNED FOR SHOP Page twenty-seven Mr. Church, Mr. Hale and Mr. DuVall re¬ port that much equipment is being bought and made for the new shop building. Five new wood working benches, which cost $210 each and will seat four boys, have been purchased. New cabinets are being made, and several old tables and typewriter stands are being refinished in the wood shop. The mechanical drawing department bought twenty-six new drawing tables, cost¬ ing $119 each. These tables have six drawers —so that each boy can have a drawer of his own. Other new equipment includes an electrical bench which seats eight boys and the top for a new sheet metal bench, also accommo¬ dating eight boys. These two benches cost a total of $312. Thirteen roll-away tool carts will be made in the shop by the boys them¬ selves. The carts will hold all the necessary tools. By making much of the equipment for the shop, the boys are saving the school a lot of money. Ken Haag looks on as Bob Cottrell and Armida Holloway count votes in the Civics class “mock election.” The sad mystery of January was the choice of twenty-one American soldiers in Korea to exile themselves behind the Iron Curtain. On the Waterfront, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Three Coins in the Fountain, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea were among the many 1954 colossal movie productions. Dr. Samuel Sheppard was charged with the deadly bludgeoning of his wife in Cleve land. The General Motors Corporation announced a one billon dollar expansion program. Walt Disney launched his most ambitious project—his television program and new amuse¬ ment park, both called Disneyland. This concludes 1954’s outstanding headlines. Page twenty-nine An important moment at any prom is the crowning of the king and queen. Here a crowd gathers on the dance floor waiting for that exciting moment. NANI O ' HAWAII A dream of an enchanted evening in Hawaii became a reality when the class of ’55 presented their prom, “Nani O’ Hawaii . Beautiful flowers, Hawaiian standards of roy¬ alty, a pretty hula girl, and leis combined with soft lights and music created a true Hawaiian atmosphere. Mary Jo Claussen and Vernon Campbell were crowned king and queen of the prom before leading the grand march. A midnight supper and an entertaining floor show were last on the program. Lincolnshire Country Club provided the set¬ ting for this lovely prom. A lot of hard work and even a few tears went into all the many plans needed to create such an enjoyable eve¬ ning, which will long be remembered. Bob Held, junior class president, crowned Mary Jo Claussen and Vernon Campbell, king and queen, of “Nani O’ Hawaii.” ACTIVITIES In keeping with the times, several new clubs have been started this year. Included in these are a Pro¬ jectionist’s Club, Drama Club, Art Club, and Modern Languages Club. Besides the newcomers, there are many old stand-bys. Sport clubs, hob¬ by clubs, service clubs, vocational clubs, music groups, journalism groups—they can all be found at Crown Point High School. Page thirty-three First row: H. Entenmann, A. Ayers, D.

Future Farmers Of America Throughout the year the FFA chapter has been a very active club, winning a silver emblem of the state for ranking the seventh best chapter in the state for overall activities. The club mem¬ bership consists of six post graduates and forty- four members. This spring it moved into one of the rooms of the spacious shop building. Their summer activities consisted of farming fourteen acres of crops, taking a trip to the Purina Feed Co. in St. Louis, Mo., and holding a parent and son pot luck dinner last spring. During the school season the chapter engaged in state, district, and county contests. They re¬ ceived awards in grain, livestock, reporter, speech, treasurer’s report, safety contests and land and poultry judging. Those receiving indi¬ vidual honors were Don Gnske and Dave W ilcox. James Becker was chosen as district director. One of the various projects of the FFA is testing milk as shown by Duane Doffin, Don Dishman, and David Gerold. Page thirty-four First row: G.

Machinists Club Future Homemakers The Machinists Club, a vocational group of 46 members, moved into the new shop building this year with their two newly purchased ma¬ chines. The club, besides sponsoring two Friday night dances, also sponsored the interclass tourney. One of the main projects of the Future Home¬ makers of America was to make and send cook¬ ies and candy to the Detention Home at Christ- They are setting a new point system for merits this year.

A Cappella Page thirty-six The A Cappella choir is a group of selected singers chosen yearly by choral director, Her¬ man Watson. The A Cappella sings for school religious con¬ vocations, concerts, and many other musical activities. It also promotes interest in many musical fields. Secular, sacred, classical, spirit¬ ual pieces, folk songs, and choral arrangements of popular songs, such as “The Donkey Sere¬ nade” and “The Happy Wanderer,” are types of music the A Cappella enjoy singing through¬ out the year. The A Cappella choir traveled to Valparaiso for the choral contest in April. The group had to sing three songs and sight read a hymn. Harvey Bremer, Phyllis Wood, Ed Selock, Lynette Irvin and Lois Blinn made up the exec¬ utive committee. Accompanists for the choir were Pauline Walz and Karel Heisterberg. Under Mr. Watson’s direction, the A Cappella rehearses in¬ formally for their next concert. First row: J. Rouhselange, N. Buche, J. Osika, J. Westphal, E. Wheeler, M. Abraham, M. Heisterberg. J.

Only five minutes left, better get my white bucks cleaned, got to pass inspec¬ tion. “OK, let’s go,” and the band steps out onto the field with the drums beat¬ ing the rhythm and the horn blasting a colorful fanfare. And colorful it is, as we see the new uniforms pass by the stands. The red uniforms with blue and white trim are accented with white bucks, white belts and gloves. But then the gloves brought up a problem. The band had to learn to play with the gloves on! The band introduced a new type of marching this year which helped to catch your eye. They marched at 160 steps a minute. The band went to Purdue to take part in the Annual Band Day. It was a color¬ ful pageant with over 1400 band mem¬ bers from different schools participat¬ ing. Pep Band Boosts Bulldogs School Spirit “He ' s shooting, it’s in the air. oh, golly, it’s rolling on the rim, it’s V!” and Crown Point’s Cagers take the lead again as the fares of our band members show the anxiety and breathless anticipation of loyal Crown Point fans.

Some of the highlights of the year were the trip to Purdue to participate in the annual “Band Day” festivities and the exchange concert given for the Buchanan, Michigan, high school. Many of the band members entered the district and state solo contests with praise-worthy results. Two members received state solo winning awards, Bob Heisterberg, vocal, and Dick Klassen, clarinet. Band officers for this year were Bill Yoyles, pres¬ ident; Dick Watson, vice president; Priscilla Palmer, secretary and Bob Heisterberg, treasurer. The concert season was opened with the Christ¬ mas concert, in which the hand combined with the A Cappella in presenting a delightful program. Beautiul new band uniforms were displayed for the first time by proud, happy marchers at the opening game of football season. The uniforms were bought with donations from many kind peo¬ ple and helpful organizations about to wn. “We’re dancing to the MILLER MOOD!!!” was the delighted sigh of many happy couples as they glided to the slick rhythm of the “Aristocrats.” The dance band was organized under the direction of Carl Smolik on request of several of the band members. They have played many engagements other than for school activities. This band is a very popular addition to the extra curricular activities organized by the music department. First row: B.

Page thirty-nine Sunshine Society The Sunshine Society has included many worthy projects in their yearly agenda. Seven Thanks¬ giving baskets were distributed to needy families in the community: the annual clothes drive was a great success through the combined efforts of the Hi-Y and Sunshine. A contribution to the Riley Fund was made in the spring and groceries given to a destitute community family were outstanding in the Society’s “Others” policy. A candy sale served as a money making project. All was not work however, for the girls enjoyed good grooming programs, travel movies, the spring Rose Dance and the Christmas dance shared with the Hi-Y. The society also sponsored a snappv bas¬ ketball team in the interclass tourney. The yearly program was completed with the annual May breakfast and eager plans for the dis¬ trict convention to be held at Crown Point in 1955. Page forty “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the community, high standards of Christian char¬ acter” is the motto of the Hi-Y organization. With Mr. Gilbert Weldy as their sponsor, the boys of Crown Point High School work hard to help their neighbors. One of their projects this year was the clothing drive in which they joined hands with the Sunshine Society. Taking tickets at athletic games, sending a Hi-Y boy through school, preparing two book marks, which sarcastically praise the acts of swearing and cheating, are one of the worthy projects of these young men. They also ushered at the commencement exercises. One of their big projects was the Hi-Y-Sun- shine semi-formal on December 18. This dance, which was held in the Community Building, was limited to Hi- and Sunshine members and then- dates. The fact that these boys live up to their theme of Christian living, proves that the Hi-Y is a worthy organization to join. Any bov in high school is sure to benefit himself and his community through his participation in this club. The Hi-Y officers making plans for the next meeting are, seated, Keith Perry, treas; Henry Bock, pres.; Bill Buehrle, sec’y.; and, standing. Chuck Collins, vice pres.; and Toni Biegel, chaplain. Hi-Y The Hi-Y joined with the Sunshine Society and canvassed the town in open trucks in freezing weather to collect used clothing for needy children in Korea.

Held and Lange¬ land.” “Vote right, Vote BIGR-MITE.” These were just a few of the many slogans that went along with the big campaigns for electing the Student Council officers last spring. Campaign¬ ing involves parades, signs, many T prom¬ ises, series of announcements, legal bribery, and lastly the final speeches. The Student Council is representative of all pupils in high school. Each class elects four representatives in the fall of the school year. The junior high with four representatives was included in our council this year. The Student Council sponsors several projects throughout the year, some of them being the Christmas decorations, the ice cream and potato chip sales, the annual poster contest and all religious services.

These seniors possess the qualities of service, leadership, character, and scholarship, and are in the upper third of their graduating class. Not more than the upper 5 per cent of the junior class can be chosen for the Honor So¬ ciety, and they are the officers for the following year. This past year the officers of the National Honor Society have had four evening meetings to which they invited college speakers. These meetings were open to any senior who was inter¬ ested in college. The highlight of the year is the ■ lemn initiation of new members by the offi¬ cers. The parents of the members are invited to this occasion.

The story takes place in the Wilkins home in Kew Gardens, Long Island. Judge Harry Wilkins, Henry Langeland , is the head of the family with Edith his wife, Charlotte Hartley. running him a close second. Calm by comparison, is the older daughter, Ruth. Babs Denney. The young mischief maker, Miriam, was played by Betty Soyring. The rather perplexed hut genial maid, Dora, played by Carole Kimberlin and Carol Gerlach. completes this family. The plot centers mainly around letters Miriam has been sending in Ruth’s name to Sgt. Bill Sea- wright. Bob Spry, a serviceman overseas. When Bill suddenly shows up at the Wilkins home ready to marry Ruth, an amusing situation arises. Pompous Albert Kummer, Bob Heisterberg. who considers him¬ self practicall engaged to Ruth, protests but soon is pushed aside, to his exaspiration. Romance enters the picture as Sgt. Chuck Vincent, Bob Held, marries Bill’s sister Martha, Phyllis W ood. Ruth and Bill fall in love and they are married in a short, but legal ceremony. Harold Klobbermeyer, Mr. Robertson and Mr. Etling , provided a surprise ending for an enter¬ taining play. “Friends, we are gathered together ...” “Lo And Behold” Such theatrical comments as “Milo, you’re upstag¬ ing Doctor Bob again” and “Don ' t you think your grease paint is a little too heavy” filled the Commun¬ ity Building as the class of ’55 feverishly worked on the presentation of that rollicking comedy “Lo and Behold” by John Patrick. On opening night an amused and interested audi¬ ence followed the hilarious although somewhat con¬ fused adventures of Daisy Durdle as she blundered into the life of an eccentric writer, Milo Alcott. After Milo’s unexpected and abrupt death Daisy and Doc¬ tor Bob. Milo ' s young friend and physician, become innocent pawns in the hands of ghost Milo and his three deceased house guests, Minnetonka Small- flower, a renegade Indian squaw: Honey Wainwright, a languid southern belle and Kenneth Moore, the Mad Musician of Mount Ivy. Adding humor and interest to the play were Mr. Wingate, Milo’s hen¬ pecked lawyer and Mac, Daisy ' s one-time boy friend. Because of the limited number of characters in the play, it was double cast. Each cast appeared on a separate night. “Why doan you faint, Sugah?” “Bob—be careful—please!” First row: F. Feighner, P. Wood, A. Young, B. Kincy, H. Entenmann, B. Petry, D. Koffrnann. Second row: C.

The purpose of this organization is to arouse interest in the Roman civilization and culture, to help promote good school citizenship and to raise scholastic standards. The meetings of the Latin Club are held bi-weekly during class. Honorary members, who were former¬ ly active club members, are asked to only the social meetings. The first big activity of the club is the initiation of the new members. In the spring a banquet for the seniors is held at which Roman tradition is rigidly observed and authentic Roman food is served. Camera Club The Camera Club, whose sponsor is Mr. Dean, is a club organized to help in teaching students how to use their photographic equipment in tak¬ ing and developing their pictures. This year the club held i ts annual Camera Club Contest with Janis Rouhselange winning two first class prizes and Mary Etta Grandys with a first also. The money the Camera Club made this year went for new equipment for the dark room. From March 21 to 26 the Camera Club dis¬ played the photographs which placed high in the Eighth Annual (1953) National High School Photographic Awards. Bob Spry “shoots” the other Camera Club members. Standing are Sue Huggins, Mary Jo Tullis, Kent Loosemore, Dave Cooper, Wayne Nelson, Herb Entenmann.

Page forty-six Page forty-seven Debate Science Club The strong smell of chemicals along with the crashing of glass, floats down the halls from the chemistry lab not only during class periods, but also during the Science Club meetings held at 3 o’clock twice a month. This organization is com¬ posed of chemistry and physics students. They are free to work on their experiments for two hours under the supervision of the chemistry and physics teacher, Mr. Cochran. The students are permitted to do further researcli in the handy science library right off the lab itself. The officers of the Science Club are Sandra Franz, Marcia Neiner, and Jim Henderlong. During the school year the Debate group attended and took part in debate conferences, speech meets, and discussions. They especially enjoyed their trip to Purdue for a debate con¬ ference. There they participated in the legislative department. Sandra Franz was a senator, and Nancy lams, Charles Yandersee, and Marion Cox were represen¬ tatives. Dick Neely, Bill Bennett, Mary Jo Tullis, Sandra Franz, Charles Yander¬ see, Marion Cox. Inklings Correcting proofs and checking over the page layouts are onl a few duties taken over mainly by the editors on the Inklings staff. Working at the table are: Larry Haniford, sports editor; Rosemary Kucia, editorial editor: Barbara Petry, editor-in-chief: Eleonore Bobrowski, make-up editor: Nora Vance, feature editor; Gay Sund- holm, news editor, who passed away in December from bulbar polio. Where are the stories for page four? I thought I told you to get those heads written by today! Is all the copy for this week turned in? Hurry! Everything’s due to¬ day! In spite of all the chaos, the students in journalism managed to publish their weekly paper and survived in grand style. The Ink¬ lings last year enjoyed its first taste of active membership in the inter¬ national honorary organization, the Quill and Scroll. Out of the eight prizes awarded in the first annual Hammond Times High School Newspaper Contest, C. P. H. S. walked off with five firsts. An often-frustrated staff uses a rare opportunity during classtime to do some studying on journal¬ ism ethics. It was not unusual dur¬ ing the past year for the staff to correct proofs for one issue at the same time they were gathering material for a story to be used in the Inklings of the following week. Seated around the table: Helen Biester, Edna Reder, Judith Menn, Norma Hartman, Ursula Ivelden- icli, Vivian Wood, and Rochelle Bellamy. Standing: Randall Murray, Ed¬ ward Rohrbaeh, Jerry Kaiser, Karl Metsch, Barb Potter, Sybil Small- field, Charlene Smith, Bob Moelh- man, Guy Hale and Louise Sea- bloom. Page forty-eight Excalibur “Pass the rubber cement” is said by Barb Bowman, as she, Judy Westphal, and Sarali Archer pre¬ pare to mount some pictures, Chuckie Hartley and Carole Ann Kimberlin are debating whether to crop a picture. Marti Heister- berg and Marilyn Foss gaze intent¬ ly at some picture. Carol Jean Ger- lach, Judy Rogers, and Phyllis Wood are waiting for some glue and Ed Rohrback and Dick Roff- man are sorting picture packets. This year for the first time the Excalibur had a separate adver¬ tising staff. Passing in orders are from left to right: Marv Jo Tullis. Nancy lams, Len Langeland, Babs Denney, Shirley Smith, Chuck Collins and Jim Henderlong. The money from advertising in the Excalibur pay s for a good share of the expenses. Selling advertis¬ ing isn’t as easy as you think. Your feet get plenty sore. Again this year the advertising is pictorial. You can see what they sell, not just read the name and ad¬ dresses. The staff members went out to every store in town, and if you’ll look in the back of the book you can see how many merchants are supporting “your” yearbook. Seated here along with some of the previous Excaliburs is Betty Soyring, editor. Her work didn’t start September seventh when everyone was coming to school. It started back in July when she, along with Babs Denney, Ed Rohr- bach and Jim Henderlong attended the High School Journalism Insti¬ tute at I. U. There they planned and made the dummy. Page forty-nine SPORTS In keeping with the times, Crown Point athletically-wise made several giant strides to give the high school some of the finest sport facilities in the area.

C-Men Brighten Halls With the addition of nearly 40 new members, the C-Men’s Club, officially changed to that title from Lettermen’s Club by an amendment of the consti¬ tution this year, attained its largest membership since a club exclusively for major letter winners was begun at Crown Point High some 15 years ago. By selling programs at the home football games, cokes at the high school basketball games in the Community Building, making their variety show a huge success, and getting the proceeds from their With Colorful Sweaters two dances, the C-Men earned money to buy sweat¬ ers, letters, chevrons and numerals for deserving athletes. Under the direction of Edward Robertson, much was accomplished in the 1954-55 school year. A lighter weight sweater for the letters and a chevron for the first year were among the most prominent things voted into existence by the lettermen this year. Next year the C-Men expect an even larger membership. C-Men officers: Denis Martin, treasurer, Woody Kasch, Three lettermen: Don Feder, Dick Foss, and Bob secretary. Bob Spurr, vice-president, and Jerry Kaiser, Spurr are shown here giving the girl cheerleaders a few president, look over new major letters that have just pointers at an assembly program, arrived. Standing by the flagpole are the G.A.A. officers: Sec., Dorothy Schmitz; Pres., Sarah Archer: Treas., Janet Cooper; Reporter, Madonna Douglas; and Veep., Nancy Ruby. G.A.A. To Present “Fantasy In Storyland “Dancing Through the Ages” was the theme of the 1954 G.A.A. Carnival. The dances were: Primitive, Greek Dances, Medieval Folk Dances, French Ballet, Pantomime, Court Dances, Peasant Dances, Western Scene, Negro Scene, Character Dances, and the Modern Scene. Under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Palmer and the accompaniment of Mrs. Patrich Malonev, the program was a great success. The annual dinner honoring the seniors was held at the Wagon Wheel in May. The graduating seniors received the points and awards that they had made through their G.A.A. years. The “star” awards were also given to the two girls who were chosen by the other members for their outstanding sportsmanship and leadership. “Fantasy in Storyland” was the theme of Whoops, looks like Raggedy Ann, Dody Hess, just had a nasty fall during the Rag¬ gedy Ann and Andy number. Her partner, Elizabeth Wheeler, looks a little surprised. Page fifty-four the 1955 Carnival, which will be pictured next year. Under the direction of Miss Mary Lou Irwin, the program was a little different from former years. For the first time there were two acts with an intermission. In the first act the dreams of a small girl were por¬ trayed in dances of Snow White and the Sev¬ en Dwarfs, Peter Rabbit, Doll Dances, The Three Little Kittens, Cinderella, and the Old Lady in the Shoe. Each class gave two dances in the second act and the seniors gave the Finale. In ’55 for the first time, the G.A.A. had a team entered in the Interclass tourney and they won the girls competition. The five major sports in G.A.A. that the girls can enter are: track, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and baseball. A few examples of the minor sports are: swimming, hiking, dancing, and skating. By participation in these sports, good sportsmanship, and earn¬ ing points, girls may receive three awards, the shield, a major letter, and a minor letter. The purpose of G.A.A. is to promote better sportsmanship, leadership, and skill. It has a very large membership and is growing each year. Straight from lower Basin Street came the Sl Louis Blues number. Even Janet Mair, on the catwalk, seem to enjoy the Charleston number that provided a touch of the Gay Ninties. Girls participated in six main sports throughout the year. These girls are the sport heads: Dorothy Bolding, volley¬ ball; Judy Taylor, basketball: Joan Breyfogle, soccer; Betty Kincy, golf; Annette Hershman, baseball and Judy Nie- meycr, dancing. . “Light But Determined” Typifies Bulldog Line The line this year received their coaching from Crown Point’s able head football coach, James Carter. Carter, a new face on the coaching staff, used his knowledge of football to compensate for the team’s lack of experience. The boys worked hard, blocking and tackling every day. Coach Carter worked mostly on fundamentals and didn’t begin bodilv contact until these were well learned by each member of the forward wall. Although the line was not verv heavy this year, the boys had the determination to make up for their lack of experience. It seemed that the harder the game, the better the linemen charged, as was graphically illustrated in the Washington contest. In this game, the line probably made their best showing of the year. Opening holes for the backs, the linemen were the unsung heroes of every game Crown Point had on its schedule this year. Bill Buehrle at center, Warren Scott and Bob Geisen at the guard positions, Larry Haniford and Don Schmidt as the tackles, and Deney Martin and Dick Foss at ends, was the usual starting line¬ up. Numerous players saw action, especially when the Bulldogs were on defense. The boys up front really started looking like something in the latter part of the season when the Bulldogs came to life and won three out of their last four ball games—beating Lowell, Grif¬ fith, and Culver. The Culver game is really not considered a regular season contest as only under¬ classmen were permitted to play and the game was mainly played for a “preview look” at next year’s varsity. Although the team didn’t have a successful season, the attitude of the players and the sportsmanship, “how to take it,” and the fel¬ low respect they learned was well worth their toil and effort. Squad members who will be lost in the line to next year’s football team through graduation are: Dick Foss, Larry Haniford, Dave Dalton, Forest Feighner, Larry Slagle, and A1 Young. Coach Carter directing linemen who are: (left to right, standing) Jerry Mahoney, Jack Lashhrook, Forest Feighner, John Birdzell, A1 Young, Carl Skoog, Dave Dalton, Ed Marshall, Dave Weiss, Jim Dalton, Don Schmidt, George Smallfield, Rush Banton, Dan Gill, (kneeling) Bob Wright and Jerry Goodman, managers, Larry Slagle, Ron Roushelang, Jim Hartman, Ed Patz, Warren Scott, Bob Ceisen, and Dick Foss standing over Larry Haniford (posing). Page fifty-six Backs Learn To “Drive Hard ' From Coaches Coach Robertson took a gang of unexperienced boys and molded them into an effective backfield for Crown Point this year. It took the boys most of the season to find themselves this year, but a continuous improvement was noted from game to game as the season progressed. Robertson, who was a backfield star in his playing days himself, taught the backs the fakes, passes, and different maneuvers that a good backfield man must know. Robertson has been with Crown Point’s coaching staff for the past two years as the chief man in the instruction of the Rulldog’s backfield. Often “Rob¬ bie” would work right with the going through the numerous drills and p HKitly teach¬ ing the backs some of the little “tricW’ connected with football. On offense the usual starting line-up was Ville- neuve at quarterback, Stathis and Spurr at half¬ backs, and Urbanski in the fullback slot. Martin, Kaiser, Patz, Phillips, Collins, and Gerlach also saw much action. The coaches changed the starting eleven several times during the season, trying to find the right combination. It paid off in the lat¬ ter part of the year, when the team came along and made an improved showing. It must also be noted that the starting backfield will all be back for next season. And two of them will still be around two years hence. The boys in the backfield who have been in their last high school game are: Jerry Kaiser, Joe Spindler, Ron Phillips, and Don Feder. Next year Carter will have 25 lettermen return¬ ing as compared with five in 1954. Jerry Kaiser and Dick Foss were elected co-captains. And Spurr won the most valuable player award from his teammates. Page fifty-seven Bulldogs Start Slow But Improve Each Game The varsity football team of Crown Point High School opened the “54” season on Bulldog Mem¬ orial Field against Yalpo. The game was hamp¬ ered by rain and the Vikings pulled out a victory by a score of 7 to 0. The next Friday, September 17, a talented East Chicago Washington eleven came down to Crown Point confident of a run¬ away. They ran into a little more than they bar¬ gained for as an inspired Crown Point team fought hard to hold them to seven points in the first half of the game. Although fired up defensively, the Bulldog offense was unable to function pro¬ perly as Washington took the contest 26-0. Carter’s crew then traveled north to Merrill¬ ville where they were set back 19-6. The offense started to click in the last half as the team pu shed over a touchdown and then intercepted a pass and started downfield again. Time was the deciding factor, however, and the Bulldogs were again to be on the short end of the score. On Friday, Octo¬ ber 1, Edison’s Blazers came to Crown Point and walked off with the game as they beat the Bull¬ dogs 26 to 0. The Bulldogs again were slow start¬ ing, not coming to life until the last half. October 8 saw Hobart’s Brickies clash with the Bulldogs at Crown Point. Although the score was one-sided, the game was closely played. Experience was the decisive factor once again and the experi¬ enced team of Hobart was victorious by a score of Hobart 19, Crown Point 0. Morton of Hammond traveled to Crown Point in mid-October and dealt the Red and White their sixth straight defeat of the season. The Bulldog offense finally began to click again late in the game as they scored for the second time in the season. The Governors won the game handily by a score of 27 to 6. On Tuesday, October 19, the Bulldogs tromped a much larger and heavier Red Devil football team from arch-rival Lowell. The offense poured it on at last as the Bulldogs scored almost at will. Bulldog Memorial Field, built at a cost of §31,000, is the subject of this night shot. The Bulldogs are here shown in their 1954 season final in which perennial Indiana football power, East Chicago Roosevelt whalloped Crown Point, 57-20. A fumble! Governors of Hammond Morton close in as Villeneuve (57), Statliis (51), Spurr (50), Birdzell (84), and Martin (tackled) of the Bulldogs also appear ready for action. During the half-time of this game the dedication ceremonies for the new field were scheduled but due to adverse weather conditions, they were cancelled. Cop Three In A Row The win brought Crown Point their first victory of the year. Crown Point had 25 points to Lowell’s 6. Griffith’s Panthers were the next victims of the Bulldogs. On Friday, October 29, the Bulldogs traveled to play a high riding Griffith squad. Despite the frigid temperatures, C. P. played their finest game of the year and the Panthers fell to the tune of 13 to 0. East Chicago Roosevelt was the last defeat Crown Point suffered this year. The Rough Riders smashed Crown Point 57 to 20. Coach Carter took his boys to Culver the next day, Saturday, Nov. 6 and gave the cadets a lesson in football, 42-6. The reserve football team, made up of un¬ derclassmen who were substitutes for the varsity squad, broke even with a 3-3-2 season record. Though they remained undefeated in their first three games, they won only three of their next four. The reserves ended the season on a good date, however, by tromp- ing Culver. Stathis skirts right end for a sizeable gain as again Morton is the opponent. The mud and rain didn’t seem to hamper the Governors as they inflicted the Bulldogs sixth loss and sixth defeat in a row. Again toting the pigskin, Stathis carries all the way for Crown Point’s lone touchdown against Morton. A convoy of Haniford (81 ) and Scott (71) trail.

Some consolation should be taken in the fact that the competition faced was the best in the Calumet region. The freshmen didn’t have too had of an offense but their defense allowed a total of 122 points, far too much for the offense to overcome. 33 points piled up by Hammond Tech and 32 by Emerson of Gary viv¬ idly exposed this deficit. Their first game, against East Chicago Washington, was the only contest in which the young Bulldog s were unable to score. Allison’s yearlings made their best bid for victory when the Lew Wallace Hornets triumphed by only a narrow seven points. Two games, against Mich¬ igan City and East Chicago Roosevelt were can¬ celled. Page sixty Cross-Country Team balance was the key-note of this year’s cross-country team. With new coach Malcomb Ruby directing the harriers, they steadily im¬ proved, reaching their peak in the final meets of the season. Using the golf course of the Youche Country Club as their home course, the cross¬ country boys ran to a 5-7 season mark. The Goodfellow camp near Chesterton was the scene of the first meet of the fall and the harriers made a bad start by placing last behind Chester¬ ton and Griffith. Next the Bulldogs split a pair of meets by being dumped by Hobart, then whip¬ ping Lowell. Then, over a rain-trodden course, the harriers placed 13th in the Hobart Invita¬ tional. After trouncing Merrillville, the x-countrv team placed a distant third in a quadangular at Yalpo. In their last four meets, all dual runs, the Bulldogs nudged out E. Chicago Roosevelt and Washington and lost to Knox and Lew Wallace. Crown Point placed 20th in the sectionals. (Upper picture) Complacency has settled over the harriers in this pre-meet warmup scene at the Youche Country Club. Crown Point whipped Merrillville in this race by virtue of a well balanced They’re off! 28 runners take-off at the “runners ready—go!” signal from the starter.

Page sixty-one Booster Club “Go team, go team, go team, fa da da”. This is one of the new yells writ¬ ten by our varsity cheerleaders. The ’55 cheerleaders are Carole Kimber- lin and Marilyn Foss, who have both been cheerleaders for two years, and Rosemary Kucia, who was reserve cheerleader her junior year. The girls led yells enthusiastically through our athletic season. They work hard in cheering at our pep sessions and trying to keep up the school spirit. They also worked with the Booster Club. The middle picture is of our re¬ serve cheerleaders — Sharon hite- side, Joanne Henderlong and Nancy Desky. If one of the varsity cheer¬ leaders happened to be sick then one of the reserve cheerleaders moved up to take their place. These girls also helped at our big pep sessions and tried to boost the Bulldog spirit. They also cheered at all of the re¬ serve football and basketball games. These girls worked long hours in composing new yells and were al¬ ways ready to back their team. They also made signs for the Booster Club. The main purpose of Booster Club, most active club in school, is to main¬ tain school spirit and sportsmanship. This includes making signs and shakers for the games. At all home basketball games there was a red and white Booster Bl ock that cheered our team on to victory. Putting signs in the hall the night before the Sectionals where George III was presented, are: Betty Kincy, pres., Martha Gerdt, sec., Susan Ben¬ der, veep, and Chuck Collins, treas.

Veterans Lead Linksmen Paced by five major letter winners, the golf team racked up its first winning season since golf was renewed at Crowm Point three years ago after a five year lay-off. The linksmen drove to a 6-5 record during the 1954 spring season. Playing their home meets at the Youche Coun¬ try Club course, the golf team opened activity by whipping Valparaiso but in turn losing to Ham¬ mond High in a triangular affair at home. Journeying to the Lake Hills golf course the next day the Bulldogs routed Hammond Clark and five days later Lew Wallace of Gary also fell by a lop-sided score. The linksmen then brought their season record to a 4-2 mark by losing to Hammond Noll and again trouncing Lew Wallace. In a big quadrangular, C.P.’s golf team salvaged third place ahead of Valpo while trailing Ham¬ mond High and Tech. The Bulldogs split their last two meets, both at Lake Hills, first by annihi¬ lating Hammond Clark and then being dumped by Tech of Hammond. The sectional at La Porte, which was sandwiched in between these two matches found the linksmen off ' form as they fin¬ ished 15th in the 17 team event. Four of the five lettermen will be back for next year’s squad. Page sixty-three The five letteruicn in golf practice blasting out a sand trap. They are Root, Trump, McMichael, Rohrbaeh, and Viant. All five made it. Golf lettermen Eddie Rohrbaeh, Clatie Root, Jerry Trump, and Jack Viant gather around new golf coach Gilbert Weldy as the boys visit the golf course for an early season practice session. Bulldogs Play Deliberately, Wait For “Good Ones” With three seasoned veterans carried over from last year as a nucleus, the Bulldogs varsity bas¬ ketball squad, with new head mentor, Harry Alli¬ son at the helm, finished with a 12-win, 10-loss mark for the 54-55 campaign. Allison restyled the Bulldog attack with a deliberate type of basketball with special stress on defense. Knox’s tenacious Redskins gave the Bulldogs an interesting battle for three periods, then withered to a 20-point defeat in C. P.’s opener. Again in the Community Building, where the cagemen played all but five of Crown Point’s 22 games, the Bull¬ dogs edged Froebel in an overtime thriller by a close 40-39 score on a neat play with Jerry Kaiser hitting the bucket. Mishawaka’s Elkhart regional champs then put an end to the Bulldog’s string by a 58-41 count although Allison’s lads led at the first period stop. C. P. then put an end to Calumet Township’s Page sixty-four unbeaten string by a safe margin as Crown Point continued its athletic mastery over the Warriors. In their first away game the Red and White sub¬ dued a scrappy Culver five, 51-39. Tempers flared in the next contest against the Tigers of Ham¬ mond Tech, but the Bulldogs ended on top. Sporting a 5-1 record, the Bulldogs entered their own Holiday Tourney as favorites to annex it for the third straight time. Merrillville, though, hu¬ miliated the Bulldogs, 70-36. Rebounding from the loss, C. P. wrecked Hobart ' s winless Brickies in the consolation game. Crown Point couldn ' t do any better in the alparaiso Holiday Tournament the next week, as they were eliminated bv Portage in the first game. Valpo also marred C. P. ' s record with another defeat the next night. Hapless Hobart gave the Bulldogs another vic¬ tory as Allison revamped the starting five. Kess- Coach Allison diagrams a play on the floor of the Community Building for the varsity basketball squad who are: (standing left to right I Bob Held, Keith Perry, Woody Kasch, Deney Martin, and Henry Bock; those kneeling are Bud Gremel, Karl Metsch, Mickey Petrovich, Dave Wilcox, Bob Bock, Cuney Kaiser and Jerry Kaiser.

Bock (32) also are up for the ball in Crown Point ' s second losing effort of the year. lers record of 35-points, led the Governors to a 77- 67 triumph at the hub. Playing a slow-break against Merrillville was to no avail as the Pirates again Trailing almost the entire game, Crown Point fought back to go into an overtime period against North Judson and then squeaked by, 42-41. In¬ vaders from Bloom Twp. added the Bulldogs eighth loss of the season 40-30, in another “slow¬ down” contest. The Red and White then tromped Lowell by 30-points in C.P.’s next encounter and again at home whipped a hefty Emerson quintet, 74-60. Valparaiso brought the Bulldogs back to earth with a 66-41 pasting. Back home, Rensselaer bowed to the Bulldogs by 11-points. Journeying to Griffith for the season’s final, the Panthers whalloped Crown Point, 58-38. Lowell was drawn in the sectionals and the Bulldogs easily beat them. That evening, however, East Chicago Wash¬ ington nudged C.P. 59-58 on a free throw with 11- seconds remaining despite a season’s high of 31 points by Kasch. All heads are up watching the flight of the basketball in this same game with the Pirat es of Merrillville. Everything went wrong for the Bulldogs in this game, including getting their uniforms mixed up. Although the reserve basketball team won but three contests during the season, Coach Robert¬ son’s squad supplied several players who proved to be valuable assets to the big team. Victories over Calumet Township, Merrillville, and Lowell were the highlights of the season. Playing their games before the varsity game, the younger cagers dropped most of their lost games by small mar¬ gins. An overtime loss to Bloom and two point defeats by Hammond Tech, Valpo, and Hammond Morton are examples of the hard luck the reserve team had. The starting line-up, which fluctuated from game to game, saw most all of the boys getting con¬ siderable- action in the contests though Dave Wil¬ cox, who was later moved up to the first five on the varsity, Cuney Kaiser, who also earned a ma¬ jor letter by playing in a number of the varsity games, and Mickey Petrovich, who dressed for the 10-man sectional team, were the stalwards of the “B” team. Warren Scott, Tom Macintosh, John Birdzell, and Chuck Collins were next in line. In the reserve tournament the team held true to form as they were knocked off in the first game and also fell in the evening encounter. It is wel¬ come to note, however, that as the season pro¬ gressed, the “B” squad gave their opponents more and more trouble, especially against Valparaiso. SCHEDULE C.P. OP.

Page sixty-six “Everybody Gets In The Act” For Young Bulldogs Gathering material from the many grade schools in the Crown Point area, freshmen hasketball coach Carter found it hard to find a winning com¬ bination as his freshmen team finished the sea¬ son with a four win, nine loss, record. The four victories were over Rensselaer, Griffith, Portage, and Lowell. The “A” squad nearly added another victory against Valparaiso but the Vikings eked out a one point triumph. The frosh sorely misesd the services of Bud Gremel, six foot one inch center, when he was moved up to the varsity in mid-season. Lundgren, Prater, Metsch, Kerth, Niemeyer, Radswell, Steele, Kimberly, Mybeck, and Sherck, also saw a lot of action. The frosh “B” team also didn’t do too well, as they had a 3-7 mark. In the freshman tourney the first team was nipped by Valpo, but in the consolation contest, avenged an earlier defeat by Portage, 31 to 25. The only winning streak the “A” squad could muster up was a win over Lowell fol¬ lowing the Portage triumph. After that, the fresh¬ men lost four straight games and seemed to get worse as the 28-point defeat in their last game by Griffith showed. The second team lost their last five contests. SCHEDULE C.P.

Wrestlers Hold Own Against Rugged Competition Setting a season’s record of four wins and six losses, the matmen of Crown Point in their third year of wrestling, recorded their best season under the coaching of Mr. Carnahan and the assistance of Mr. Watts, a four year college varsity wrestler. At the start of the season, twenty-four boys re¬ ported to Coach Carnahan for practice. A new wrestling room was obtained this year giving a bigger area for the team to practice. Receiving injuries, mat burns, and bruises after weeks of hard practice, the team began to shape around two three-year men, six two-year men, and six one- year men, although there was a need for boys in the two lighter weight divisions. This weakness was revealed in the opener with Hammond Tech, causing the first defeat for the matmen. Rebounding from the loss, the team out scored Hammond Clark and South Bend Adams. The Adams match proved to be the most exciting of the season since Adams took six of the twelve matches, yet lost by only four points. Meeting the two top teams in this section of the state, the matmen were defeated by East Chicago, Roosevelt and Washington twice each. Before en¬ tering into the sectionals, the “rasslers” defeated Hammond Clark again, and Bishop Noll, while losing to Thorton Fractional in their last match of the season. Bob Spurr placed first in the sectionals and fourth in the state finals. Jim Dalton and Jim Kerr both placed fourth in the sectionals, while the team placed seventh. Dave Dalton and Bob Spurr were elected co¬ captains of the squad. Spurr was also undefeated for the season and the high point man with sixty- three. Bob Eshelman and Dave Dalton were second highest with thirty-six points each. Members of the year’s wrestling team are top row: Dick Blanchard, manager, Charles Boswell, Jim Henderlong, Mike Hanlon, A1 Wright, David Vitkus, Jim Dalton, Dave Dalton, Bob Moelhman, Larry Slagle, Ed Marshall, and Bob Eshelmann.

Track And Field Compiling a record of ten wins and five losses, the track team had a good season for 1954. Although there was the abundance of experienced boys in the track contests, the field events caused many headaches for coach Ruby be¬ cause of the lack of experienced boys in them. Leading all other Crown Point ein- dermen in total points was Ron Way¬ mire, who broke the school record in the low hurdles and set a new mark in the 120-yard high hurdles. Waymire also placed in the sectionals in the low hur¬ dles event, while Tom Stathis placed in the pole vault. Second high in points and very close was David Rzepka who was also closely followed by John Smead. Both cindermen scored their points mostly hi the dashes and relay teams. Track managers (left to right) Ed Karracker, Bob Blimm, and Melvin Joyce join track coach Ruby in looking over the eindermen’s equip¬ ment. Other track squad members, are (top row, left to right) Len Langeland, Dave Wilcox, Jim Graeber, Jerry Mahoney, Jim Hartman, Ed Vlach, Tom Harris, (bottom row) Dave John¬ son, Duane Cilek, Dean Downey, Cuney Kaiser, Mickey Petrovich, Ed Urbanski, Denny Ben- bow, and Tom Cope. Page seventy Baseball 9 Wins 6 Under the coaching of Carl Carnahan and Edward Robertson, the Bulldog base¬ ball team of Crown Point pulled out a mediocre season with a record of six wins and seven losses. The usual starting lineup included Bill Hargis at first, Vernon Camp¬ bell at second, Tommy Macintosh at short, and Jim Schmal at third. Jerry Kaiser, A1 Seramur and Dick Becker alternated on the mound with Seramur and Becker tak¬ ing turns behind the mask. Kaiser, Dave Weiss and Woody Kasch worked the out¬ field. The Community Building was the scene of the first practices, but after the weather warmed up, the team moved to the dia¬ mond west of the high school. In past vears, transportation had been a big problem, but thanks to the new field, which was first used in 1954, it has been solved. Dick Zur- briggen, Dick Blanchard and Bob Cottrell turned in a good job during the ’54 sea¬ son in roles as team managers. There were 11 baseball letters awarded this year. Haniford ta kes a mighty out at the ball in a home contest against Merrillville. The Bulldog nine dropped this game by a 4-2 count as two men were stranded on base in the last inning. The Bulldog’s baseball bench appears pretty active as they harrass the rival moundsman. In this game, against Calumet Township, the team routed the Warriors 13-2. Crown Point baseball squad members who are taking time out from practice are: Carl Carnahan, coach, Larry Haniford, Jim Schmal, Jerry Kaiser, Dick Becker, Mike Hanlon, john Birdzell, Vernon Campbell, Bill Hargis, and Ed Robertson, coach. Second row: Richard Blanchard, manager, Jim Kruger, Gene Meyers, Larry Slagle, John Reschke, Dave Weiss, Dick Steiner, Jon Casherat, Dave Schroeder, Melvin Fought, Bob Steiner, and Dick Zurbriggen, man¬ ager. Third row: Bob CottrelL Don Wood, Larry Rosenbaum, Tom Macintosh, A1 Seramur, Don Schmidt, Scott Lockhart, Ron Phillips, Bob Moelhman, and Bob Bock.

That huge school was senior high only, and the enrollment was less than 600. A second floor was being built, and one day we were led through the new rooms, empty except for boards and wires which covered the floor and made walking hazar¬ dous. And then one day we “moved in” upstairs, and we had to get used to making our way up and down stairs between classes. We also got used to seeing all those “little ' kids” in junior high around our high school. By our sophomore year, we knew our way around the school. That year we made a rather unsuccessful venture of selling magazines. Weren’t we proud when we could flash our class rings around! Soon we were juniors—upperclassmen no less! As jun¬ iors we found ourselves busy discussing color combina¬ tions and merits of various sweaters. We were disap¬ pointed to find that we had only four home football games, but we worked hard at the refreshment stand during those four games. We had to earn enough money for a very fine prom. Then there was the Sadie Hawkin’s Day and dance (remember those cowboy hats and dep- utv badges?) which brought in more money. And “Dear Ruth,” our first class play, even had a “Mystery Man” in it. We did have that very fine prom. The prom, held at the Lincolnshire Country Club in Crete, Illinois, had for its theme “Nana o’ Hawaii.” We had flower decorations, leis for the king and queen, and even a hula dance as part of the entertainment. As seniors we had the satisfaction of seeing our class play, “Lo and Behold!”, presented as Crown Point High’s first double-cast play. May 31, 1955—135 seniors graduate from a combined junior-senior high school with over 950 students. Four years have passed quickly, especially this last, our senior year. Four busy years, important years in our lives, are over. Page ninety-seven Edward Rhorback, pres; Sue Bender, treas; Henry Back, vice-pres; Sylvia Urbanski, sec’y. Senior CL.i Presented P.S.S.
