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

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.

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.
