With the hysteria over Russia’s tremendous advances in science and in the arms race, American edu¬ cators began to stress more than ever high school science and math programs. Crown Point educators didn’t panic at the Sputnik news releases. They took stock of the situation as it existed, looked objectively at Crown Point standards, and discovered that C.P.H.S. students were already above average. Crown Point has more than the average number of students enrolled in math¬ ematics classes, with 648 in math classes and 436 attending science classes. Without put¬ ting extreme emphasis on science and mathe¬ matics and sacrificing the liberal arts, Crown Point manages to maintain the balance need¬ ed between science and liberal arts courses. C.P.H.S. is growing in many ways from the infant school of only one building on an 18- acre campus to the bustling school plant of five buildings and 23 acres that it presently occupies. Physical size and status as an edu¬ cational institution will further increase as the new addition of 12 special area classrooms and new gymnasium facilities, ready for construction after many delays, is put to use in 1959. The addition of more teachers to the faculty is another indication of expand¬ ing the educational offerings. Ever changing with the needs of students, the curriculum at Crown Point has undergone extensive revision and addition during the ’57-’58 school year. Offered for the first time at the beginning of this year was a course in commercial law. Its substitute for the second semester was a course in salesmanship. New chorus classes and band classes were added in both the high school and junior high, glee clubs were organized and the entire music department was expanded to include nearly 250 students in some sort of musical instruc- A course on developmental reading, stressing faster reading with greater comprehension, was offered for the first time. A semester course in personal typing made it easier for some students to have the advantages of a basic knowledge of typing fundamentals. Plans for even more expansion next year have been set to include sociology, auto mechanics, welding, music appreciation, beginning band, and a one semester course in speech. Films, shadowscopes—machines on which a book is mounted—and reading pacers are part of the new equipment obtained for students in the developmental reading class. The li¬ brary received a new checkout desk and ap¬ proximately 231 new books, while a new elec¬ tric mimeograph machine with no-smear ink was purchased for the office. Other new equipment included drill presses for the shop, a new gas stove for home economics, a stand¬ ard shift car for driver education classes, new typewriters, and illuminated bulletin boards. Tests were an important part of the academic picture, too. S.T.E.P. examinations in mathe¬ matics, English, science, and social studies compared Crown Point students’ averages with the national norms and indicated how much C.P.H.S.’ers were learning. The Schol¬ arship Qualifying Test, before given in Oc¬ tober to seniors to determine who would re¬ ceive scholarships, was made available this year to juniors in April for counseling pur¬ poses for their coming senior year. C.P.H.S. continues to grow in its evaluation of high school academic concepts. Next year new text books, new classes, and a new out¬ look will introduce new problems and chal¬ lenges, challenges which prepare Crown Point students for the self-sufficiency they must demonstrate when they enter the ouside world.

These gatherings, sponsored by a dif¬ ferent club or society almost every Friday night throughout the year, have become— through the years—a weekly must” in the lives of many Hub students. Sock hops, good luck dances, St. Patrick’s dances—you name it, Crown Point has it. The Homecoming Dance and the crowning of the Homecoming queen and Mr. Football at the annual Homecoming contest kicked off the year’s big” events. Social activities didn’t stop during the holi¬ days as December 28 marked the third annual P.T.A. sponsored Holly Hop, attended by the whole community. Dancing was to the music of the Aristocats, the school dance band, and games upstairs added to the evening’s fun. A few days later, on December 30, the Hi- Y and Sunshine co-sponsored their annual Christmas semi-formal. This year’s theme, Crystal Moonlight,” was captured by a tree in the middle of the floor illuminated by a spotlight. Prom-time, the most exciting social function of the year, is also the busiest. Beginning at Lincolnshire Country Clu b, the prom pro¬ ceeded to Teibel’s restaurant for a midnight dinner and entertainment. Later, the weary travelers went to someone’s house for an early breakfast and then home to get ready for church the next day; afterwards, a trip to the Dunes or one of many other scenic spots completed the day. For the first time there was a dance for only the freshmen and sophomores. The choosing of a theme, dancing to the music of the Aris¬ tocats, and the selecting of a prince and princess gave the May 10 dance a special place in the C.P.H.S. social calendar. Dances and queens were not the only social attractions at C.P.H.S. On May 1 the Sun¬ shine Society held its annual May breakfast and introduced and installed the new officers for the following year. For the first time the breakfast was in the Masonic Temple, with girls possessing 100 points the only eligible attendants. Another social activity not linked to a dance was the Latin Club banquet. Second-year Latin students, the new members of the Latin Club, planned the banquet and performed all necessary serving rites. Out-of-school social activities actually con¬ stituted the backbone of a C.P.H.S.’ers social life. The traditional slumber party, where anything can happen,” again pinpointed these outside affairs. Only typical character¬ istic of these stag” parties (whether boy or girl) was their spontaneity—they could come up anytime, anywhere, and never be boring. With the coming of the first snowfall stu¬ dents eagerly anticipated things to come. Tobogganing parties raced down steep Buck Hill. Bowman’s Pond was the favorite place of C.P.H.S. ice skating fiends. Other lakes and near-by hills attracted the attention of many snow and ice loving students. Outdoors fun, however, played an important role year ’round with warmer temperatures particular¬ ly providing op portunities for hayrides, pic¬ nics, and beach parties. Traditional for the seniors were the open house receptions after baccalaureate and graduation ceremonies. And so, another typical Crown Point year became history. Socially speaking, it was a good year, although the whole nation, ha¬ rassed by unusual happenings both at home and abroad, didn’t quite set its usual pace. It was a time for sober reflection and deep soul- searching; but we managed to have our fun, too!

Students can’t turn around without a club or other activity pop¬ ping up to claim some after school time. Extra-curricular—or co-curricular—activi¬ ties add spice to the diet of C.P.H.S. students. With a broad range of clubs and societies to join (more than 30), the Crown Point stu¬ dent has no trouble choosing those which will interest him. There are service clubs, ath¬ letic clubs, vocational clubs, clubs for hob¬ bies, honorary clubs, and many more—all of which exist in the school program to give students maximum opportunities in learning to live and work with others. Two prime examples of clubs which tie in directly with curricular studies and yet main¬ tain a relaxed atmosphere are the Latin Club and Modern Languages Club, both of which work to uncover more information about their respective areas. Since so much of the Latin Club’s efforts constitute a direct part of the daily class lessons, the club is permitted to hold its actual meetings during school hours. Speech and Debate Club, another co-curri¬ cular undertaking, was reorganized this year with the orators and debators traveling to speech and debate meets to gain experience and also sponsoring the freshman-sophomore speech meet and legislative assembly at Crown Point. Two other co-curricular organizations re¬ organized this year after a period of time away from the club scene. Art students joined the ranks of the Art Club while home economics girls quickly began taking part in the Future Homemakers of America club. Teaching the duties of citizenship from both the average citizen’s point of view and the responsibilities of the leader’s position plus carrying on the business of the student body is the major job of the student-elected Stu¬ dent Council. Representatives from each class are elected in September, but officers are elected at the close of the preceding school year in a mass sign-plastered, horn-honking, speech-making all-school rally and election (with voting machines, yet!). In the past three years the most important accomplish¬ ments of the Council have been the furnish¬ ing and operating of the student rec room and the promotion of a student-run safe driving program. When it comes to numbers, several organiza¬ tions vie for honors. The music department, with its band and choirs and small ensembles, is among the largest — co-curricular to the point that some chorus groups and the band meet during school time and give some aca¬ demic credit. Still other large-in-membership groups include the Booster Club, which en¬ deavors to raise the level of school spirit during the entire year for all activities, the Sunshine Society, which gives about 265 girls a chance to serve others, the Lettermen’s Club, which promotes the school’s sports pro¬ gram, and the Girls Athletic Association, whose carnival this year featured about 180 girl athletes. Though the school has no direct influence on the student’s outside-of-school job, this is an important factor in what is done with extra-curricular time. A high percentage of the student body is employed in some kind of outside job, ranging from office work to assisting in a lumber yard to baby sitting or working in a grocery store. Extra-curricular activities are of incalculable value in the lives of Crown Point’s students. From these activities come the well-rounded outlook, the leadership abilities, the enjoy¬ ment necessary to the training of a worth¬ while citizen of the future.

Page twenty-nine fads Fads Intrigue, But Don’t Standardize, Bulldog Fan Cries of Have you seen the latest?” and Man, are those neat!” punctuate the low roar that regularly echoes through the busy corridors of Crown Point High School as students oh” and ah” the intriguing fads, passing fancies, and modern fashions of C.P.H.S. citizens. Buckles appear everywhere — literally from head to toe—on hats, shirt collars, backs of shirts and Levi’s, and down to socks and shoes. Crew-neck sweaters continue the Ivy League chain. Thick, wooly, and bulky, stripped in a variety of ways, they range from the plainest black wool to jazzed-up” ver¬ sions that are hardly recognizable as Ivy League, much less crew-neck! Steady shirts are still popular, but the trend now is to complete steady outfits, from shoes to slacks to shirts and sweaters to hats. The look-alikes aren’t twins — they ' re simply steadies”! Bulky knit sweaters appear in variations now, with draw-strings and even hoods. Blouses with elasticized waists or draw¬ strings, plus roll-up sleeves and button-down collars are also big.” The blouse line is hold¬ ing its own, especially with the chemise look” and the new flowery prints. The chemise, though, is the newest rage.” Groups of C.P.H.S.’ers of both sexes argue for or against it. Indignant males, opposed to a man, fought as hard as possible and in as many ways as possible against the over¬ whelming tide of sack lovers. The gals have their chemises this year, but the guys discourage Change and honor Tra¬ dition by continuing to wear their Levi’s and flannel slacks coupled with Ivy League (what else?) shirts and crew-neck sweaters for a little variety. Shoes really are wild” this year. For the girls, the new pointed toe comes in with a variety of colors in suede, smooth leather, and the new red patent. Flats and heels are influenced mainly by this, though, while school shoes” take a different turn. T-strap flats ( Italian flats”), although they have been worn all along in other schools, came into C.P.H.S. only recently. Black and red leather are the favorite color and material worn in this popular variety of shoes. The newest in red suede-with-laces is quite the thing” for wear either with or without bobby sox, making them quite versatile. Boy’s shoes also have seen a change although a minor one compared to those of the girls. Black and white saddleshoes prove popular, as well as the traditional loafer.” Foods especially in demand this year are pizza (the do-it-yourself kind!) and the ever¬ present Coke” and Pepsi.” Along with pizza and coke, of course, goes the Saturday night Shocktail” party. The shocktail party is a recent innovation demanding several easily frightened young people, lots of food, and a television screen, from which come the best of old horror movies. This is also the year for dance fads. The Stroll” started in Philadelphia, then spread rapidly to the rest of the country, including Crown Point. Evidence—or perhaps it’s the lack of it— indicates that Crown Point High School is not a fad school. Fads are a means by which teen-agers express their emotions and react to problems. Fads are the teenager’s world. But just as fads change often so does the teenager on his way to maturity and a stead¬ ier life. C.P.H.S.’ers may be correct in think¬ ing that their comparatively small devotion to fads shows already their realization that out of today’s teenage world where fads often rule come our teachers, ministers, and lead¬ ers of tomorrow’s world. Page thirty-one Teenagers’ creativity expressed when fads spring up from nowhere. Page thirty-two Come let’s stroll, stroll across the floor.” This refrain captured the fancy of teen-agers everywhere during 1958 as Lynette Iliff and Tom Hargis aptly prove at a Friday dance.

George the Bulldog,” Crown Point High School mascot, has the seat of honor on senior cords, decide Terry Thoman and Marty Johnson as they view the decorated skirts of Judy Richards and Barbara Esser. One of the new fads to appear on the scene is the drawstring blouse, as modeled by Bonnie Baldwin, Arlene Nagy, Jill Dieman, and Monda Fifield. Most talked of shoes this year are the black suede, flapjack bucks, boys’ saddles, flapjack suede, strap shoes, heels, “bubbles,” and the oxfords. Page thirty-three honorary Highly-Prized Awards Spur Student Achievement Honor day can be termed the grand finale of all student endeavors—academic, athletic and extra-curricular. On this day (May 14 this year) students who have earned honors, awards, and scholarships are recognized by clubs, civic organizations, the school system, and fellow students in an all-school program. New this year is the choosing of Rotary- Anns. Organizations giving new awards arc the Sunshine Society and the band. Each month, the Sunshine Girl who has earned the most points up to that time is named honor girl. Usually the band recognizes the seniors only, but this year outstanding juniors are also being honored. At Crown Point High School honors may be grouped into the academic, extra-curricular, and citizenship areas in which both indi¬ vidual and group awards are made. Combi¬ nations of these are frequent. An honor may be money, a trophy (in all its many forms) or—quite often—merely the honor of being chosen. Scholastic honors reached a new high with more than 700 students on the honor roll at least once during the year. Those who have been on the honor roll every time receive certificates from the National Honor Society. In the National Merit testing program, given each year as a test for scholarships, Jim Tullis, senior, made the finals, the second year a Crown Point student has received such an honor. Two other seniors, Lee Fifield, and Lowell Meyer, received certificates of achieve¬ ment in the same program. For the second year the Student Council has named a student each month as the safe driver for that month. Mayor Marvin Erlen- bach of Crown Point has commended the school and the students on their traffic safety program which has become a model for schools everywhere to follow. Crown Point students who were entered in the 1957 state achievement contests in Eng¬ lish, Latin, Spanish, and mathematics came back with three bronze medals as Jim Tullis, Alan Hack, and Phil Williams won them in the math contests. Several others also were good enough to make the trip to the state finals in both 1957 and 1958. The announcement that Crown Point had won the cheering trophy for the most sports¬ manlike cheering section of the ten schools at the East Chicago basketball sectionals re¬ ceived much applause. The trophy culmi¬ nated the hours of hard put in by those con¬ nected with the Booster block. High citizenship standards are the first re¬ quisite for many honors at C.P.H.S. Ten boys and six girls from the junior class were chosen to represent Crown Point at Boys and Girls States last year; 13 will attend this summer. Both the Daughters of the American Revolu¬ tion and American Legion awards are also based on citizenship. More than $1600—a most practical honor— is awarded annually in the form of local scholarships. These are given by Delta Chi Sigma and Kappa Kappa Ka ppa social soror¬ ities, Kiwanis Club, Psi Iota Xi sorority, the Junior-Senior High School P.T.A., the Solon Robinson-South Ward P.T.A., and the Sunshine Society. Winning these honors — important as they are—is not the sole reason for competing. Honors are offered as incentives for ever higher standards of achievement—again an example of C.P.H.S.’s desire to help its stu¬ dents make the most of their potential.

Page thirty-nine • 1 We But -lZ � i f ezCihe to Two of the seven sports had their best records ever in 1957 and 195 8. The baseball team and wrestling squad together won a total of 29 engagements while dropping only five. Although finishing with a 5-5 mark, the football team was actually better than the record indicated. The Bulldog cagers had a rocky sea¬ son, but could run with the best on the right night. The Red and White also featured a track team unde¬ feated in dual meets and a quite successful cross country outfit. Who was responsible for this? The 230 players, the seven coaches, and the 1,259 students of Crown Point High.

Fast, Rough Football Highlights ’58 Campaign On September 3, the first day of school, and the date of the first football game, Crown Point High School anticipated an undefeated season. And, under the tutorship of head coach Jim Carter, backfield coach Ed Robertson, and line coach Dave Schaeffer, the Bulldogs were severely defeated only once, outscoring all opponents 183- 156. They lost to Hobart, ranked sixth in the state, by only two touchdowns. But the fact remains that the Bulldogs closed the grid season with five wins and as many defeats on their 1957 record. The campaign started out according to pre-sea¬ son prophecy. The Bulldogs defeated Portage 19-13, and Valparaiso, 26-21. Jeff Heaton, later elected Mr. Football, returned a kickoff some 80 yards in the wild final quarter of the Valpo game. In the last quarter the lead changed hands four times as each team scored twice. Then came the first defeat, 31-7, via Rennsselaer. Defeat number two was marked up the next weekend as the Bulldogs were edged 13-12 by arch rival Merrillville. There is not much to be said for that game except that perhaps the Bull¬ dogs—both the players and fans—were too con¬ fident. Whoops! Quarterback Bob Collins cleverly sidesteps a would- be tackier blocked by John Nedderman. Gary Sherck moves Page forty-four The varsity footbal l team was composed of first row, left to ' right, B.

The Pirates made it to clinch an upset 13-12 victory over the Bulldogs. With the record now standing at 2-2, the Bull¬ dogs were anxious to get in the win column once more. They did, as on the following week Bob Collins, senior quarterback, played a masterful game in which he completed four out of eight passes for 74 yards. The gridders won it, humil¬ iating Gary Edison, 27-6. Then the team Crown Point had been waiting for —Hobart—made its entrance. Crown Point was fired up and determined to make the record 4-2. The Bulldogs fought hard, and held the Brickies scoreless in the first quarter. In the sec¬ ond quarter Dean Eikstead scampered 80 yards for a Hobart touchdown. Again in the last half, the Bulldogs outplayed and outfought the Hobart eleven, but could not on two more occasions con¬ tain Eikstead. The final score was Hobart 20, Crown Point 7. After that game, the boys seemed determined to play up to pre-season predictions. They walloped Calumet, 19-0, as Darrell Hoyt, junior, passed for three touchdowns. On the following week, they again played shutout ball as they ruined Lowell’s homecoming, 26-0. The season looked bright, and if the Bulldogs had not played the Page forty-five The members of the reserve football team are first row, l ft Robertson, manager, R. Rapp, C. Nelson, R.

All in all it was a good season with Ron Thomas, junior, receiving honorable mention on the United Press all-state squad; and with seniors Don Hall and Jim Kaiser, co-captains, and Bill Stott, named most valuable player, leading the remainder of the team. When one starts to discuss the future, the best places to look are the reserve and freshmen teams. The reserves won 4, lost 1, and tied 1—from their first six games, that is. They won their fourth-in-a-row by defeating Valpo, 7 - 6 ; Edison 18-12; Hobart 7 - 6 ; and Lowell, 13-0. Then the roof fell in as they scored only seven points in the next three games as their opponents. East Chicago Roosevelt, Griffith, and Culver Military Academy, scored a staggering total of 70. This was enough to knock them from a winning sea¬ son as they ended the campaign with a won 4, lost 4, and tied 1 slate. Some of the varsity Page forty-six players in the next years will be Pete Stott, Norman Sherck, Bill Wornhoff, Ron Kaiser, soph¬ omores, and A1 Noak, junior, all reserve stal¬ warts this year. The freshmen also had a rather topsy-turvy sea¬ son. Under Coach Harry Allison they won 2, lost 4, and tied 1 against some of the stiffest competition in the Calumet area. The frosh defeated Portage, 14-2, and Valpo, 7-6. They were edged by East Chicago Washington, 7-6; East Chicago Roosevelt, 34-14; and Hobart re¬ serves, 6-0. They were trounced by Lew Wallace, 2J-0, and tied Lowell, 13-13. The Bulldogs started the season with 21 letter- men, of whom eight had been starters. Some of those who starred in the all-important line were seniors Jim Kaiser, George Kimberly, Denny Miller, and Brad Mayberry. In the backfield were juniors Ted Menn, Bud Barnett, and John Ned- derman, and seniors Gary Sherck and Jeff Heaton. Next year, the team should fare well as some battle hardened juniors collaborate with some eager sophomores and freshmen to defend the football honor of C.P.H.S.

Tall, Speedy Hubmen Close Fast for 11-9 Mark Looking towards their best season in several years, the 1958 Bulldogs fell short of expecta¬ tions, but put on a finishing burst that carried them to a respectable 11-9 record and a stirring performance in the East Chicago Sectional. Bolstered all year by exceptional height (with three men topping 6 ' 4 ), dangerous shooting, and good speed, the Bulldogs were tabbed an early season power possibility, especially following their opening 76-68 victory over Chesterton, a paper-thin 66-63 loss to an eventual sectional winner, Valparaiso, and a 60-49 romp over the vaunted Horace Mann Horsemen. Disaster then struck Harry Allison’s cagers with a vengeance as they were routed by an outstand¬ ing Calumet quintet, 85-65, and dumped by Froebei, 64-51. The Hubmen recovered somewhat and evened the slate up at 3-3 by blasting Culver Military Academy the next week, 82-66.

Semi-Finals to within three points, 54-51, after being down by as much as 25-10, but nevertheless lost again to the Warriors, 70-58. Merrillville had been the Red and White’s 5 8-44 stepping stone into the finals in the afternoon contest. Continuing their up-and-down pace, the Crown Pointers were completely lacking in losing, 71- 57, to a Hobart squad not even boasting a single letterman. Hammond Morton took advantage of the apparent Bulldog state of shock to pound the boys, 58-33. However, Merrillville once again suffered the mistake of a Bulldog resurgence as the Pirates were whipped, 60-44. Knox became victim number two in a row, 63-49, but the short-lived string was snapped by Gary Edison, which surprised with a 64-60 triumph. Despite senior guard Bud Gremel’s school record- breaking performance of 36 points, the young but eager Lowell Red Devils edged the Hub cagers, 71-70. This was evidently the jolt the Bulldogs needed, for they proceeded to cop five games out of the last six, the only loss being a 63-48 setback at the hands of a tough Rens¬ selaer outfit. East Gary fell, 75-63, Whiting, 70-54, Wirt’s Calumet Conference champs were Seemingly glued to the spot, Dave Gerold (S3) and two Froebel Blue Devils watch intently as Phil Kerth lets one fly from the free throw line. Page forty-nine Bulldog Darrell Hoyt is really caught in the middle of everything as he contests for possession of the ball with Froebelites George Droza, John Mack (44), and Turner battered, 62-49, Griffith was edged, 63-61, in the last seconds, and the Bulldogs crushed Port¬ age, 60-44. Drawing big-name Hammond High for a bye into the semi-final of the East Chicago sectional, the Bulldogs fearlessly stymied the proud Wild¬ cats and scraped out a fine 54-52 victory. Meet¬ ing the talented East Chicago Roosevelt Rough Riders in the semi-final, the Red and White played inspired ball all the way, but found the experienced Riders a little too rough and lost, 64-59. Seniors Bud Gremel, Chuck Steele, Denny Lund- gren, Phil Kerth, and Bob Collins anchored the squad, while team high-scorer Darrell Hoyt, Bill Radzwill, Larry Costin, Larry Liss, Bob Crowell, Bud Barnett, and Jim Collins of the juniors provided hope for next year. Page fifty Reserves, Frosh Weather Bad Year, Look Ahead The reserve basketball team, under direction of coach Edward Robertson, compiled a record of 6 wins and 11 losses. The team this year pos¬ sessed solid rebounding, but had trouble hitting the bucket. Albert Noak and John Dian, juniors, and big (6 ' 5 ) Dan Thomas, sophomore, handled the chores under the boards well. In the back court John Dietel, Joe Carter, Bill Wilcox, and Richard Fronek, all sophomores, operated effi¬ ciently. The reserves played heads-up ball and never gave up, as shown in their 34-23 pasting of Culver and 43-32 rout over Merrillville, plus a close 35-33 decision over tough Valparaiso. They had their share of troubles, but showed promise of being good varsity material. The freshman basketball team had even rougher going than did the reserves. They won three and were defeated 12 times. This, however, does not present a true picture, since the main objective at this stage of the game is experience. The fresh¬ man cagers, under the eye of coach Jim Carter, defeated Hobart 30-24, Highland 37-21, Horace Mann 42-38. The freshmen lost the services of Bill Wilkey, who in the last part of the season played for the reserves. This had some effect on the team, but nonetheless, the freshman received much seasoning from losing and look to awaken from their nap before they play varsity ball. Page fifty-one Phil Kerth executes a perfect slide as he scores one of the many Crown Point tallies in the Bulldogs’ 16-5 revenge victory over Merrillville. Bulldog Bats Pound Out We had everything we needed. We had good pitching, superlative hitting, and fielding. It was an all-around very good team.” These words of head baseball coach Carl Carnahan summed up the winningest” season ever in the history of Crown Point High School baseball, a major sport since 1946. This winningest” season started with a S-l victory over Lowell. (Later in the season the Bulldogs defeated Lowell once more, 4-3, to mark the only losses the Red Devils suffered all year.) Hitter Bob Collins typifies the C.P. batting power as lie takes a lusty swing at the ball during one of the victories in the Bulldog’s 12-game winning streak. Page fifty-two Watching John Dian demonstrate his pitching ability are L. Craig and B. Houk, managers, C. Sapper, D. Nie- meyer, D. Loeffler, T. Hargis, G. Wood, C. Nelson and manager C. Hooks. 12 Straight Wins for Finest Season Since 1946 After that opening victory, the Bulldogs then proceeded to lose two games, the only defeats during the entire season. Merrillville edged the Bulldogs, 3-2, and Washington of East Chicago shut out the Red and White, 4-0. The Bulldogs then began their streak. For the sake of posterity, the powerful Hubmen humbled East Gary 14-0, 6-5, Hobart 9-6, Calumet 5-0, Whiting 12-5, Dyer 6-4, Lowell 4-3, Culver 9-2, Merrillville 16-5 (avenging the previous loss), Dyer again 6-1, Hammond Morton 5-4, and Calumet 15-2. The Bulldogs had won 12 in a row to finish the season with a record of 13-2. Tremendous hitting by the boys was shown by the fact that 114 Bulldogs crossed the plate, while only 45 of their opponents treaded across. The pitching ability was indicated by the fact that the Bulldog opponents never scored more than six runs in one game. However, as assistant coach Ed Robertson said, Balance was the key word.” Coach Carl Carnahan points out the good points of D. Lundgren’s batting style to B. Gremel, L. Perigo, P. Kerth, B. Collins, D. Steiner, D. Hoyt, J. Birdzell, D. Radzwill, B. Bock, and D. Schmidt. Page fifty-three Balance Plays Main Role Six foot four-inch Dave Gerold, who set a new Crown Point school record with a toss of 45 feet in the shot put, gets in some practice time before a home meet. Winning every dual meet entered, coming in first in the Rensselaer Relays out of a field of six, and senior Dave Gerold’s setting a new shot put record were the main highlights of the 195? Crown Point High School track season. Crown Point opened the season March 21 in the Univer¬ sity of Chicago fieldhouse. Out of a field of four teams, the Bulldogs came in second behind Ho¬ bart. Traveling to Hobart April 11 for the Little Five meet, the trackmen came in third with the Brickies again copping the laurels. Af¬ ter that were they Hammond Relays, in which the Bulldogs were not too successful, placing ninth out of ten squads. Coach Ruby assembles his 1957 track team for a pep talk. First row, left to sight: R. Sherfik, B. Wornhoff, P. Collins, J. Kaldahl, K. Bailey, D. Iwan, T. Roushlange, L. Liss, B. Barnett. Second row: G. Petyko, L. Polcn, D. Buchrle, M. Rans, B. Nolan, B.

Page fifty-four in Hub’s Track Endeavors Glory galore came April 23 when a fired up cinder team from Crown Point came in first in its class out of a six-team field at the Rensselaer Relays. The Bulldogs won the sprint medley with Len Langeland, 1957, Dick Iwan, junior, and Jeff Heaton and Dick Turner, seniors. The boys also won the shuttle hurdle relay. On April 29 came the first of four straight dual meet wins. On May 3, the Bulldogs engaged in the Hobart Relays won by Hobart with Crown Point running third out of a group of five teams. On May 7, Dave Gerald heaved a small but heavy Jeff Heaton, leading Bulldog low hurdler, broad jumper, and 100-yard dash man, is expressively caught in one of his jumps. Heaton set a new school record with a leap of 20 feet 9J4 inches. 12 pound shot 43 ' 9 for a new record and broke his own record on May 15 with a throw of 45 ' even. On May 10 the sectional track meet was run with Hammond High commanding prac¬ tically everything with 56% points. Crown Point was a little farther down the line with four points picked up by Dave Wilcox, who tried for first place in the high jump with 5 ' 9% . According to Malcolm Ruby, This was the best balanced team I have ever coached during my years at Crown Point.” Page fifty-five The calm before the storm: Bulldog 133-pound mainstay Joe Glassford, left, performs the customary hand-shaking ritual with his opponent preceding the match. Wrestling Prestige Soars; Wrestling has been a sport at Crown Point High School for only five years. During that time head coach Carl Carnahan’s wrestlers have compiled team records of 40 wins, three defeats, and two ties. In the last two seasons the grapplers have won 28, dropping only four. One can safely say that Crown Point’s wrestling team is one of the best in the state. The skilled Bulldog grapplers line up in force, first raw: J. Rees, R. Yancey, R. Van Slyke, T. Glassford, B. Rees, L. Cope, G. Kimberly, J. Glassford, J. Kcidenich, P. McGinnis. Second row: R. Hein, T. Thoman, J. Straka, L. Craig, B. Briggs, K. Farmer, L. Polen, E. Anderson, J. Dahl, B. Marshall, D. Iwan, C. Wilt- fong. Third row: D. Bucrhle, manager, S. Touhy, J. Marshall, W. Jolley, J. Hutton, T. O’Halloran, M. Anderson, D. Coapstick, J. Stoll, manager H. Rumsey, coach Carl Carnahan. Fourth row: B. Wiott, A. Dodson, G. Huber, B. Carl, C. Addison, B. Claus, R. Sabau, D. Dodson, J. Austin, B. Butcher, J. Oliver, B. Banham, T. Allee. Joe Straka, having chosen the bottom position in the hope of winning more points, awaits the blow of the referee’s whistle which signals the return to combat. Grapplers Set New Mark This year the matmen have won 16 times, losing three, all in a row. The boys who were outstanding were 95-pound junior Tim Glassford, 112-pound junior Bob Rees, 120-pound sophomore Larry Cope, 133-pound senior Joe Glassford, and 165- pound senior Ed Andersen. This year the Bulldogs sent three men to the regionals. The boys were Tim Glassford, junior, Bob Rees, junior, and Ed Andersen, senior. Out of this trio Bob Rees gained fourth place in the The technique of pinning one’s opponent is presented in an unusual close-up. Here, the top man prepares to roll the bottom man over onto his back, thus pinning his shoulders to the mat. regionals. In the sectionals, the Bulldogs grabbed third place behind East Chicago Roosevelt and East Chicago Washington. Bob Rees was the only man in the sectionals to win all four of his match¬ es by virtue of pins. In talking of the record this year, coach Carn¬ ahan said, I can truthfully say that this year’s team was the best team I have ever coached at Crown Point. Even though last year’s team won 12 and lost only one, this year’s group had more boys who were tops. I am hoping for an even better record next year.” And it works! The referee’s raised hand slapping the canvas indicates that victor, in spite of his unusual position, has racked up five points for a pin. Page fifty-seven Larry Costin is really getting the lay of the land” as he surveys the possibilities for his putt. Bulldog Golfers Lack Experience, But Do Well Golf is played with a small resilient ball, the object being to knock the ball from the tee into the cup or hole on the green in as few strokes as possible. The course, physically, may consist of either nine or 18 holes. Sand traps, bunkers, and water holes are added to make the game more challenging. If a player wins the first five holes or the last four holes he is awarded one point for each group. He may also receive a point for getting the lowest total score for the round. If he ties he splits the points. Therefore, a man may possibly tally a total of three points. In the opening meet with Rensselaer the Bulldogs score was quadrupled by the Bombers. In the next meet Bishop Noll beat the clubmen 11-7. Once again defeat came as Dyer defeated the Crown Pointers, 18-0. Being rather tired of los¬ ing, the boys got down to business and blitzed Lowell, 16-0. Lew Wallace was the next prey, the Hornets being caught in a 13-5 net. The Bull¬ dogs then played to a stalemate with Calumet. Griffith and Rensselaer were toppled successively before a loss to Valparaiso ended the streak. Un¬ der coach Jon Kinghorn’s guidance, the golfers remedied the situation and surpassed .500 by overthrowing Bishop Noll, Lowell, and Lew Wallace. The season yielded seven wins, four losses, and one tie. Jon Kinghorn poses with his golf squad: Tom Hendcrlong, John Savio, Brian Spencer, John Soyring, Bill Briggs, Bill Radzwill, Larry Costin, John Gerlach, Clyde Haniford, Mike Watson, Jim Collins, Don Huber, John Sopsic, Terry Allee, and Jay Hershman. Bulldog X-Country Team Best in Schools History After practicing from mid-August until the first week in September, the harriers, under coach Malcom Ruby, were defeated in the opening meet by Hobart. Not discouraged by the first setback, the turf-pounders trounced the Portage crew by placing the first ten runners ahead of Portage’s first man. After three victories the Bulldogs were edged by Calumet, 28-29. In Wythogan Park, the Bulldogs abandoned Knox and Winamac on Knox’s maze-like path through the woods. At Lowell the boys swamped the Devils, 19-44. The Delphi Invitationals were next on the agenda. After the meet when the scores were being posted, a computational error was discovered in Crown Point’s total and the team moved from second to first place and victory over eight other schools. At Wicker Park the harriers, without the serv¬ ices of a few of the better runners, obtained third in a sectional in which two teams went downstate. Bill Nolan, a senior, placed second in the meet to be the lone Hub representative downstate. Jack Kaldahl, Bill Nolan, Dick Iwan, Jim Fulk, and Larry Liss were stalwarts throughout the entire season. The season was concluded with a record of nine wins and two losses. Crown Point High’s crack cross country team lines up in a familiar pose before the two-mile ordeal. From left to right-. J.

Page fifty-nir Four Junior High Sports The only undefeated team in C.P.H.S. was the junior high softball team. Practically unnoticed by a student body preoccupied with football, the Bullpups, under the guidance of Charles Isley, won all seven games which they played during the months of September and October. They defeated MacArthur four times, Riley twice, and the Lutheran Grade School once. The leading hitters on this team, which in its first game batted in 32 runs, were Joe Harris, John Clark, Arthur Haverstock, and Vaughn Rice. Page sixty Produce Future Talent The junior high basketball team, under the lead¬ ership of Charles Isley, completed its regular and tourney season with a 10-8 slate. In the Lake and Porter County Junior High Basketball Conference, however, they were more successful as they tied for first with a 6-2 record. This tie was clinched late in the season when they defeated Portage 27-20. The boys who carried most of the burden for Crown Point were John Clark, Steve Seramur, Joe Harris, Norm Mills, and Charles Robbins. The Bullpups gained entrance to the semi-finals of their conference tourney at the close of the season by defeating Hobart Evans, 26-22. In the next game, however, they were eliminated by Valparaiso, 32-26. The junior high track team, with Charles Isley as head coach, featured only one win in four meets last year. Starting the season with a 71 2 3 - 60 1 3 loss to Chesterton. This was followed by a dual meet loss to Hobart, and a triangular meet loss to Ross and Hobart Evans. The Bullpups’ sole win was in a triangular meet with local talent. The trackmen totaled 100 points as St. Mary’s School grasped 20 points with the Lutheran Grade School salvaging 3 points. The junior high football team, because of poor weather conditions during the spring, engaged in a limited schedule. They defeated Gary Edison and lost to Merrillville for a won 1 and lost 1 record.

Another important social activity for the Hi-Y boys is the hayride in the fall. Besides these two events they also sponsor two Friday night dances and choose a club sweetheart. But Hi-Y is primarily a service organization, endeavoring to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. Prospective members must pass an exam on the constitution in order to become members of the club. The main service project is the clothing drive. For this job they again join forces with their sister club, the Sunshine Society, and collect all usable articles of clothing for charity purposes, they also sell tickets at the freshman basketball games and are in charge of the Easter convocation. Karyl Bailey, president, was assisted by Don Hall, veep, Bud Gremel, secretary, Bill Stott, treasurer, Gary Petyko, chaplain, and Larry Craig, sergeant- at-arms. The club sponsor was Leonard Saylor.

Sunshiners attending the Christmas Semi-Formal must have earned 50 points. To go to the May Breakfast, everyone needed 100 points. Girls who wish to be members next year must also have met the 100-point requirement. Each month an Honor Girl—the Sunshine member with the highest number of points that month—received a yellow and white S.S.S. emblem and a spot on the slate of officers for the coming year. Those familiar little blue and white tins of Betty Anne” candy again were sold this year. Points were given for each can sold, and more than 145 cases were sold to finance the Society’s charitable activities.

Hub Responds Strongly to Call for Instructors Students teaching themselves is a different approach but that is just what the members of the Future Teachers of America are doing. These students use the knowledge from various bus¬ iness meetings and field trips to help teachers. They help the teachers and learn, too—when semester test time comes around—by grading the moun¬ tains of test papers. At other times of the year they can be seen helping by student teaching. At their monthly meetings the F. T. A. members hear speakers such as Miss Peggy Boyer, a student teacher from I. U., and Warren Garner, assistant principal. Earlier this year the Future Teachers attending a district F. T. A. meeting at Griffith High School. Later in the spring the members went to Ball State Teachers College to see a sample of college life. This is the second year that F. T. A. has been organized. This year they added another sponsor, Harry Allison, physical education and health teacher, to help Miss Katharine Swartz, Latin and English teacher. Among activities added this year was serving for the tea given for new teachers in the Crown Point School City. Members also sold tickets, made sandwiches, and served for the South Ward-Solon Robertson P.-T.A. chili supper. More than $200 in proceeds went to the P.-T.A.’s $250 teaching scholarship. F. T.

New members, second year Latin stu¬ dents, must plan the program and the freshman Latin students do the serving. All the food is eaten in Roman style—no silverware! The food is served in courses and is as similar to the actual Roman food as is now possible.

Language Students Strive to Break World Barriers In this steadily shrinking world today it is more important than ever that nations and peoples un¬ derstand each other. The spoken word is still the best means of communication. The Modern Lan¬ guages Club helps students in C.P.H.S. who have taken either one year of French or Spanish to grasp this. During the year the club sponsored a dance and this year’s happened to be on Friday the 13 th. So that no one would have bad luck, each student was requested to bring his favorite good luck” charm or pay a penalty. The proceeds from the dance capped two years of saving to buy a tape recorder, which the club uses to improve accents and habits. This is accomplished by reading conversations and then playing them back for everyone to hear. Modern Languages Club meetings are held twice a month after school and the members see movies, listen to reports, and learn more about Spain and France. Serving as president this year was Rita Goodman. Assisting her were vice-president John Brindley, secretary Lucy Moyer, and treasurer Kay Sim¬ mers.

Then membership in the Drama Club is for you. Members of this organization work on plays, learn to apply make-up, work on the staging of plays, and learn the art of production. Generally the meetings are divided into business and activity periods. In the activity period the members work on pan¬ tomimes, monologues, and sometimes give short plays or dialogues to earn Thespian points. Mrs. Katherine Stancati, speech and drama teacher, is the sponsor of this club and officers are Marianne Henderlong, president, John Mybeck, vice pres¬ ident, Bill Houk, treasurer, Margie Reis, sec¬ retary, and Patti See, scribe. Helping the Drama club members in- their work are the Thespians of Troup No. 1470. These are students who have had experience in acting, directing, or working backstage in a major pro¬ duction. Belonging to Thespians is an honor members of the Drama Club try to achieve by earning Thespian points. Thespians this year were Marianne Henderlong, John Mybeck, Lowell Meyer, Carol Olson, Larry Craig, Bill Houk, Kent Oram, Barbara Esser, and Rosemary Josh. Thes¬ pians announced just this year were Maureen Cunningham, Carol Parker, Judy Richards, John Wendt, and Marty Johnson.

Or how to make a hi-fi, or even a crystal set? Several of the members of the Science Club wondered and learned the answers as these became their Science Club projects for the year. Students who are taking chemistry or physics are eligible for mem¬ bership. Leonard Saylor, Malcolm Ruby, and Miss Patricia Archibald are the sponsors for the Science Club. Developing a darkroom technique occupies the Camera Club members at their twice-monthly meetings. Joseph Heuer, sponsor, assisted the club members with their dance this spring, at which they took pictures of the students on their new camera and then sold them to the students. The members also toured one of the local photography shops in March and sponsored a photography dis¬ play in April. F.F.A.’s Practical Experience Reaps Rewards Ranking high in state and district contests, the Future Farmers of America are some of C.P.H.S.’s best representatives to other schools. As a group the local chapter ranked high enough in district contests to go to the state contest, then to the national contest. These contests are based on both individual and group activities. High honors came only after hard work. Biggest project this year was farming the 14 acres, which the club rents, in corn. Individual mem¬ bers must also do livestock and farm work on their own. Some of the goals of the club are to develop leadership, encourage the establishment of farms, create interest in farming, and improve farms. A big event for the F. F. A. boys is their annual dance. It was then that they crowned their chapter sweetheart, Marylyn Dahl. Officers were Ray Hein, president, Carl Sapper, Allen Boles, and Hank Schlueter, vice-presidents, Albert Noak, secretary, Bill Kerr, treasurer, Lawrence Turn- quist, reporter, and Brad Mayberry, sentinel. Ad¬ vising the club was Leon Dean, agriculture in¬ structor. One of the club’s events was a square dance. Mr. Dean acts as caller for Joel Hetra, Loretta Huppcnthal, Jean Feder, Al Boles, Joyce Gerbracht, Harold Gerbracht, and Larry Mevers as they learn new routines. Before the club brought a new tractor this year members Larry Meyers and Lawrence Turnquist viewed different models with Leon Dean, sponsor. Machinist Club members are, first row, left to right, T.

Machinists Earn Money for Shop Equipment Cheers rock the gym as the winning team of an annual interclass-club tourney comes onto the floor to face the mighty faculty team. This is the climax of the tourney, sponsored each year by the Machinist Club. This year there were ten boys’ teams in the tourney and five girls’ teams competing for the top honors. Machinist Club vice-president Bill Radzwill operates one of the lathes. Looking are Frank Yancey, secretary, Warren Von Berg, treasurer, and Ted Menn, president. The objective of the Machinist Club is to raise money to buy new equipment for the machine shop. Besides the tourney, they get money from the Friday night dance which they sponsor. This year their goal was buying a new lathe or a divid¬ ing head for a mill. The 53 boys in the organiza¬ tion also study manufacturing processes for use in future years as machinists. Machinist Club boys were first to try out the new electric welder which was purchased for the machine shop.

The musical hit, Oklahoma!” by Rodgers and Hammerstein, was chosen by the choir mem¬ bers for this year’s major event. The leading roles were played by seniors Denny Miller, Judy Richards, Karel Heisterbcrg, Barbara Esser, and Bill Brown, sophomores Steve Jacoby, Dick Ruehl, and John Lamphier, and junior Barb¬ ara Hein. Important also to choir members was the contest in March at which they received an excellent” rating. The A Cappella Choir also sang in local concerts during the year. Other appearances were at the convocations. The music department, including the A Cappella Choir, also presented an assembly for the student body at Christmas time. Several ensemble groups were in operation this year. The Bel Canto ensemble, eight girls, won a superior rating at the state contest. There were also a girl’s octette, a girls’ quartet, a girls’ trio, and a boys’ quartet. These groups sang at local clubs and activities during the year. The choir members undertook a big project when they decided to buy a new piano for the choir room in the band building. To raise the money for it they had a chili supper before one of the football games in the fall. They also sponsored one of the Friday night dances. Page seventy-six Club Spirit Fires Hub Firsts for ’58! This could have been a motto for this year’s Booster Club as they cheered the mighty Red and White on to victory. Among these firsts” were the reserve seats and reserve seat tickets in the Howling 200” Booster Block. The owners of these tickets were assured of their own seats at every home basketball game. Also a big first on the cheering scene was the red and white capes worn at the sectionals. The capes also will be worn in the block during next year’s regular basketball season. Boosters were also responsible for this year’s home¬ coming festivities, including the queen’s float— constructed by a special float committee—the parade—participated in by all the classes at C.P.H.S.—the crowning of the queen and Mr. Football during halftime ceremonies of the Crown Point-Calumet football game, and the big home¬ coming dance after the game. Busses to out of town games were sponsored by both cheerleaders and the Booster Club. Let’s see, this pattern seems to fit right here,” says Susie Birdzell as Kay Claussen, Karen Schroeder, Kay Troutwine, and Rae Ann Grcmcl look on. Student Traffic Court First for Student Council The C.P.H.S. traffic court, presided over by the nine members of the Safe Driving Committee, issues summons for students accused of violating the Safe Driving Code, hears cases, and pronounces sentence on guilty drivers, all without direct faculty help. Purpose of the Safe Driving Committee is to promote in students more consideration in driving. Results? Local police commended teenagers for their good driving habits. This is the second year for the Student Council sponsored committee, one of the Council’s principal functions. Page seventy-eight Better Representative Government Council Goal Decorating the school at Christmastime, inspect¬ ing lockers, buying a new juke box and a clock for the rec room, and sending two representatives to the executive committee meetings of the P.T.A. were all Student Council activities de¬ signed to give members practice in representative government and to help them better represent the student body. Their primary routine job was the operation of the ever-busy rec room, a Stu¬ dent Council responsibility. Acting as sponsor for the legislative group this year was assistant principal Warren Garner.

Honor Society Vigorously Fosters Hub Culture Playing host to such programs as College Life,” a panel discussion including four Valparaiso Uni¬ versity students, Prison Life,” with Warden Al¬ fred Dowd from Indiana State Prison, and a science program presented by Argonne National Laboratories, is one of the main functions of the National Honor Society. The Society distinguishes (with merit certificates during Honor Day cel¬ ebration) all students who have held honor roll grades for five of the six weeks grading periods. Fifteen per cent of the senior class and 5 per cent of the juniors in the upper third of their class were awarded membership in the Society this spring. As an added feature in the already activity filled program, the society sponsored the WWCA Teen- A-Rama dance. The recording made of this dance was then re-broadcast over the radio. College night was another activity sponsored by the society in the fall.

A. A. offered five major sports this year to the mighty girls of the Red and White: basket¬ ball, volleyball, softball, kickball, and bowling. The girls again presented their annual carnival, Holiday in Hollywood,” a musical tour of the famous California filmland, which had as the main feature the crowning of Miss G. A. A., selected by 180 G. A. A. voting members. With spring the girls began preparations for their big night”—the annual awards banquet. This is the culmination of everything the girls have worked for throughout the year. Here girls re¬ ceived their major and minor letters and shields. Two honor girls, chosen by the G. A. A. mem¬ bers for outstanding participation in the organ¬ ization, are named. White mums for the sectionals were also a G. A. A. sponsored project. Initiation, that horror of horrors, showed the senior planning committee to be in its best form. The lowly initiates were then reduced to the status of slaves (for one day). Two swimming parties held jointly with the Lettermen’s club were also on the agenda for the athletic-minded organization. Losers feted the winners after the G.A.A. and Lcttcrmen clashed in bowling. Kay Huseman, Bonnie Alice, and Joyce Mills try not to smile as lettermen Lee Haniford and Jack Kaldahl taunt them. All set to bowl perfect games for G.A.A. are officers Barbara Esscr, vice-president; Sue Davis, recording sec¬ retary; Nancy Seramur, president; Chuckie Fought, secre¬ tary, and Sue Don, treasurer. Page eighty-two G.A.A. Members Active How could anyone get a seven—ten split?” Gee, a turkey!” No, this is not Bowling Alley with Whispering” Joe Wilson at the mic¬ rophone—these are some of the comments that could have been heard at G.A.A. league bowling last winter. Trophies were presented for the first time this year at the end of a tournament which included such famous matches as G.A.A. vs. Let- termen, and G.A.A. vs. Boys’ League’s top three teams. The Lettermen’s Club team was then given a party by the un-victorious” G.A.A. Page eighty-three Representing the seven sports offered at C.P.H.S. are lettermen Bill Stott, football; Ed Andersen, wrestling; Jack Kaldahl, cross country; Denny Lundgren, baseball; Jeff Heaton, track; Jim Collins, golf; and Bud Gremel, basketball. Seven Sports Supply Manpower for Lettermen s If you want to observe the Mickey Mantles and Ben Hogans of tomorrow, you should have peeked into Room 205 sometime during the year. If a Lettermen’s Club meeting was in progress, they would have been right there before your eyes. Characterized by their bright red sweaters with the white C”, the lettermen are the envy of every incoming freshman who aspires to become an athlete. To become a C-man a boy must be outstanding enough to win a major letter in one of the seven sports offered at C.P.H.S.—football, cross country, basketball, wrestling, baseball, track, and golf. Coaches of each sport decide which boys deserve a letter. The club has a serious purpose which it tries to uphold: to make better men of tomorrow out of the athletes of today. The chief money raising project for the lettermen is the sale of programs at all home football games in the fall. Another project carried on by the boys is their coke stand at home basketball games. Deep voices are added to the cheering block at basketball games by many C-men who aren’t working in the refr eshment stand. Realizing the importance of backing to a team, they yell for their team and are an example for other boys in the cheering section of the Booster Club. Page eighty-four Practice makes prefect could have been the motto of freshman cheerleaders Linda Hawley, Sandy Yarnell, and Bonnie Nedderman. One major contributing factor to C.P.H.S. school spirit was the varsity cheering squad: junior Kay Claussen and seniors Joyce Mills, Judith Root, Lee Fifield (captain), and Karyl Beetle” Bailey, the first boy to have this honor since 1949. Cheering the reserve team on to victory were sophomores Marlene Manno, Elaine Cohoon, and Diana Root. Last year coaches, cheerleaders, and sponsors decided that only sophomore girls would be eligible for the reserve position. The combined efforts of these two groups usually sent the Howling Two Hundred” Booster Block home hoarse and with ears ringing from the constant Go, Fight, Win.” The freshmen, not to be outdone, were represented with cheerleaders Linda Hawley, Bonnie Nedder¬ man, and Sandy Yarnell. C. P. H. S. Cheerleaders Going to cheerleading camp in Syracuse, Indiana, i very important part of the varsity cheer¬ leaders’ summer. They acquired new and interest¬ ing techniques such as the cut-off cheers and crowd psychology. At camp they learned new cheers every evening and the squad took first place in the div ision for cheer groups of five persons. When asked how crowd psychology worked the cheerleaders would not divulge their secret because they said they had been using it all year. They also learned a new way to make shakers, a way used when making some of the sectional Booster Block shakers. This year the cheerleaders sponsored busses to some of the away games. Sponsoring the cheerleaders was Mrs. Mary Lou Mybeck, girls’ psysical education and health teacher. Worshipping George, the highly prized mascot ' for Crown Point High School, are varsity cheerleaders Lee Fifield, Judith Root, Karyl “Beetle Bailey, Joyce Mills, and Kay Claussen. The worship cheer” is a C.P.H.S. tradition. Page eighty-zeven Senior play cast members look on as Marty Johnson tries his hand at applying make-up to Maureen Cunningham.

Other seniors and their parts are Frieda (Veronica Ven¬ stra), George Husted (John Wendt), Barbara Gage (Judy Richards), Paula Gage (Paula Trul¬ ley), Loomis (Bill Houk), Uucle Walter (Larry Craig), and the constable (Tom O’Halloran). Marianne Henderlong and Marty Johnson assisted as student directors.

Under the direction of Mrs. Mary Catherine Georgas, the play featured John Mybeck as Bob, the hero, and Carol Olson as Carrie, the baby¬ sitter, who saves the day for the Ballards. Mari¬ anne Henderlong and Lowell Meyer portrayed Mr. and Mrs. Ballard. Bob’s sisters Jane and Helen were played by Ruth Dunn and Barb Esser, re¬ spectively. Junior, a holy terror and the villain” of the play, was characterized by Larry Craig. Junior’s Deeds Cross Him Up With The Babysitter’ Lefty, his sidekick, was played by John Wendt. Eunice, a real vamp who wants to take Bob away from Carrie, and Carl, her brother, were enacted by Judy McClenthen and Denny Miller. Midge and Dot, friends of the regular sitter, are two well-meaning but thoughtless girls, portrayed by Luellen Taylor and Judith Root. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, Junior’s parents, were characterized by Kent Oram and Susie Birdzell. Bill Houk and Rosemary Josh were the student directors.

Page ninety-three Award-Winning Publications Work to Please Oooh, it’s getting late!!!!! That is, late in respect to the time for The Inklings’ deadline. When Wednesday afternoon and evening roll around each week, the publications room (Room 108) is busier than a beehive. This year an improved printing schedule made it possible for The Ink¬ lings to get news more quickly to subscribers plus offering them their first eight and six page papers and the first color issue. The 1956-57 Inklings was winner of the Quill and Scroll and the National Scholastic Press As¬ sociation’s first place honor rating for the second year. The Hammond Times contest, too, brought in new plaques for display. This year The Inklings had 17 editors be¬ sides the regular editor. These positions were handled by the memb ers of the journalism class, who aided by getting polls answered, writing features and news stories, covering beats, writing Sniffs,” and finally edited their own issues with editor Carol Olson’s help. Page ninety-four Bigger and better! This could have been the motto of the ’5 8 Excalibur staff. Starting off the year with a bang, the tentative yearbook plans won a first place award in the yearbook division of the Journalism Institute at Indiana University. More pages were added and more books were sold. In¬ augurating the first freshman and sophomore dance, May 10, the Excalibur brought about what it hopes will become an annual event.

Page ninety-five ' I l l’ iBon t csCihe to BriUj — But... Jammed into corners, shoved into lockers, crowding through the hallways, 1262 students flowed into every nook and cranny of C.P.H.S. Despite crowded con¬ ditions, Crown Point High School offers to its students a well-rounded academic and extra-curricular program while teaching a valuable lesson in learning to live, work, and play with others. New Council Helps Decide Administrative Policies New this year was an administrative council com¬ posed of six faculty members. The council, along with student body representatives, helped form school policies for an ever-increasing school en¬ rollment. Gilbert R. Weldy, as principal for the second year, headed the council composed of Warren Garner, Mrs. Helen Palmer, Mrs. Margaret Mracek, Carl Carnahan, and Mrs. Cornelia Wood. Warren Garner became assistant principal, after filling the principal’s shoes at Wheeler. Enroll¬ ment was high, and with this grew the attend¬ ance duties of Mr. Garner, who doubled as dean of boys. Helping with attendance and discipline problems, Mrs. Cornelia Wood manned the new¬ ly created post of dean of girls. Page ninety-eight As School Needs Grow Working busily at his desk is Gilbert Weldy, who again as principal managed the affairs of the high school. Making out one of the two daily absentee lists are assistant principal Warren Garner and dean of girls Cornelia Wood. Miss Ella Blackstone is the secretary who keeps the financial records. She handles all extra-curricular activity funds. With the 12-room addition springing up, the school board, which gave the final approval to build, was pretty popular with Crown Point stu¬ dents. Returning as representatives of the pub¬ lic were Mrs. Floyd Vance, Kenneth Knight, and Paul Rapp. Robert J. Brannock, superintendent of schools for the second year, was the adminis¬ trator carrying out board policies. Besides being Mr. Wcldy ' s secretary, Mrs. Marie Olson is in charge of keeping the official records of the school. Page ninety-mine FACULTY GUSTAFSON, DIANE L.

Page one hundred seventeen ■ Seniors Occupy Star Role in ‘G P. H. S. Story’ Beginning with 250 members, the Class of ’58 entered Crown Point High School awed by the vastness of the school plant, which boasted a spanking new shop building, a newness unnoticed by most of the ’58’er’s in the middle of their own new experiences. During their four year sojourn many more notice¬ able changes took place. In the sophomore year the Student Council opened the student lounge and Crown Point became one of the few schools in Indiana to have a student lounge, now the ' rec’ room. Upstairs a new seven room wing was completed. In the junior year, assistant principal Gilbert Weldy replaced Ben Ervin, who went to Ball State Teachers College, and Robert J. Brannock became superintendent when Austin Walker went to Indianapolis. Other things happened in school: as freshies the ’5 8’ers’ discovered knee socks, long rope beads, and D.A.’s; the now annual Holly Hop was started. For the first time there was a permanent seating arrangement at assemblies, a telephone switch¬ board was installed, and the school nurse was appointed to begin the sophomore year. Class rings arrived with ' Our George’ on them. This is now the school ring crest about which seniors can proudly say, We were the first!” Symphony for Freedom, calypso, ivy league, periwinkle blue with white lettering for class sweaters, the junior stand, and a ' Blue Moon’ prom helped fill an active junior year. The Babysitter,” the first class play, was presented. Senior year arrived, and with it came Sputnik I and II. Dateline: Year I, Space Age—diminish¬ ing of calypso craze, the continuing popularity of rock and roll, ivy league style, and the ever popular pizza were some of the trends during the senior year. As seniors, activities to become memories began to take shape: term papers . . . January Thaw” . . . sports events . . . the duties of head¬ ing more than 20 of the schools 2 5-plus extra¬ curricular activities . . . the senior party ... all the life at Crown Point High to be remembered by the 190 graduates taking their places as lead¬ ers of tomorrow. Page one hundred eighteen JUNIORS Checking over last year’s prom dec¬ orations are junior class officers Debby Ruby, treasurer; Joe Straka, vice-president; Rae Ann Gremel, secretary; and Jim Collins, president. Next to the prom in importance for the ’59’ers was the choosing of their navy-on-white with Old English let¬ tering sweaters. The juniors operat ¬ ed the concession stand at home foot¬ ball games. SOPHOMORES Class rings were first on the agenda for sophomores. The officers, shown inspecting their new ring style, are Chuck Nelson, vice-president; Margie Reis, treasurer; Ron Kaiser, president; and Diana Root, secretary. With no other important event scheduled, the members of the Class of ’60 began their impatient wait for the time when they would become upperclass- FRESHMEN The Class of ’61, more than 300 strong, entered C.P.H.S. like all freshmen, bewildered by high school life’s newness.
