ScUl, C,,, JZ ( earn as ‘ 77 , ’.v Student Council member Ron Kaiser greets American Edu¬ cation Week Open House guests in the main hall. The Hub came to see us in November when the P. T. A. sponsored the annual Open House in observance of American Education Week. Almost twice as many parents as were expected came to C. P. H. S. that night when our daily schedule was run in miniature” — five-minu te classes — for parents. The two Hubs got together again the following month . . . this time for fun only! The occasion was the P. T. A.’s family party, the second annual Holly Hop. The gym took on a festive air that night as families got together for games and danc¬ ing, and a new feature this year, the crowning of the Holly Hop queen. The crowd resulting from the hundreds of persons from both Hubs left stand¬ ing room only! Each Friday night four sets” of parents help us out by chaperoning our weekly dance. Besides mak¬ ing our dances possible, the parents get a chance to see our Hub in one of its favorite forms of relaxation. Joanna Reis, crowned queen of the Holly Hop, is attended by her court: Kay Claussen, Pat Stoll Nancy Desky, and Ursula Keldenich. Page ten

We have only one fund drive at C. P. H. S. For several years it has been one for polio and last year, after returning from Christmas vacation to find one of our classmates killed by the disease, we Chuck Kolar gives Sunshine model Nancy Desky gentlemanly assistance as she steps from the fashion show runway. Highlighting the district Sunshine convention was the fashion parade of the latest teen age clothing styles. Barbara Newlin models a smart cotton dress from one of the local stores. named the annual effort the Gay Sundholm Mem¬ orial Polio Fund Drive. Each year receipts from the drive grow and last January we gave the Hub $825.00. We give to the Hub again when, each Thanks¬ giving and Christmas, we donate food so that the Sunshine Society may give food baskets to Crown Point’s needy families. The Hub gives to us, too. Three times this year it helped us play host to hundreds of persons who came here for programs we were sponsoring. In October more than 1000 Sunshine girls from Dis¬ trict 5 were here for their annual convention. In February the district solo and ensemble contest brought 1800 high school musicians to Crown Point. In March seniors from eight neighboring high schools joined in our annual College Day. And in April many of Crown Point’s business¬ men spent a morning in our Hub, each one telling us about his occupation, at our annual Career Day program. Page nine

C [)orL ‘Jogrik ter The Hub invites us out to see them, too, so that we may see how their Hub works and so that we may learn to become good citizens of the Hub. Last summer Crown Point’s civic groups sent six boys to Boys’ State and 13 girls to Girls’ State, both on Indiana University’s Bloomington campus. Chuck Collins, the Boy’s State representative spon¬ sored by the Rotary Club, was chosen Outstanding Citizen of the 195 5 Boys’ State and received the coveted Carl Graham award. Chuck was also presi¬ dent of his class for six consecutive years. This year for the first time the Rotary Club chose nine of the top senior boys as Junior Rotarians. Each month of the school year one of the boys at¬ tended the weekly Rotary meetings. By talking to the businessmen who make up their organization and listening to the weekly speakers, the boys learned how the Rotary works and how they can best serve the Hub they will enter next year.
