Elaine Foster proudly exhibits the first issue of the Ink¬ lings to John Sopsic as he buys a year’s subscription from Lynette Irvin. Student Services Supplied for Work in New Classes Break or lose your one and only pencil, then most likely you would head for the bookstore. This is one of the first places that people head for before the first day of school. This year the bookstore sold more than $12,000 of new books and supplies. It also paid out more than $1,300 to students for their used books. The bookstore is one of the many “extras” that are offered to the C. P. H. S.’ers. Other added advantages are a well equipped library that this year added about twenty-five new film strips as well as many new reference and general interest books—about 300. During the first day most students entered the upstairs study hall. Imagine 278 students studying at one time and in the same room—well that is the number of seats that are in the upstairs study hall. Besides these 278 students there were several honor study halls” to take care of the overflow. Twelve hundred copies of the special first day edition Inklings were given to Crown Point stu¬ dents and teachers upon their arrival at school the very first day. Many people also visit the guidance office on the first day of school. They go there for many different reasons: program changes, Kuder prefer¬ ence tests, personality ratings. Another service of the office is to help students decide what col¬ leges to attend. Page twenty

New” seems to be the key word as 315 new freshmen passed through the C. P. H. S. halls for the first time. They experienced many new” and different adventures (classes, teachers, as¬ semblies, joining clubs, etc.) all new to them as they advanced in class rank. Let’s see, eighteen left, two right, and ... no, eighteen right, two left, and three right.” Click! Oh! that was your locker that clicked. Oh, well, eighteen left . . . practice makes perfect.” Newcomers to the campus find things a bit confusing during the first week, but still find time to converse with classmates before school begins and between periods.
