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.

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

Adults come to school at C. P. H. S., too. Each Monday night the building sparkles under the fluo¬ rescent lighting as sixty adults borrow” our teach¬ ers and equipment to join classes in typing, short¬ hand, bookkeeping, mathematics, drawing, blue¬ printing, and driver training. All of the classes offered adults are offered to us as electives”, along with art, three other busi¬ ness classes, senior English, speech, journalism, three foreign languages, home ec, four industrial arts courses, three sciences, four music classes, two elective social study classes, and agriculture. A solid subject is one for which class meets daily. Two credits, which make up IS of the 32 credits required for graduation, are received for each of these classes. The state requires that each student take one year of physical education, one year of math, three years of English, one year of science, and two years of social studies. After these courses are fitted into his schedule, a student may choose any of the 31 electives offered by C. P. H. S. to complete his 32 credits.
