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

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

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
