social Play Flavors Work—Social Lights Shed No Glare Friday night dances, somewhat a well-ordered tradition at C.P.H.S., commenced the social season. 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! Page seventeen
