— PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND GYM I [7T a , 71 PENTHOUSE HALL SERVICE ARF A 1 CLASS ROOM S CLASSROOMS 75 £xcali cvi CROWN POINT HIGH SCHOOL CROWN POINT, INDIANA Sprawling C. P. H. S., located in the heart of the subur¬ ban Lake County seat, Crown Point, became the scene this year for its seventh alteration in 21 years. With this latest change, ’58-’59 became a year to grow on.” The original part of the main school plant, for which con¬ struction began in 1938, occupied a diminuative 18-acre campus and housed about 400 students in four grades in 1941 when the building was first opened for classes. This year, on a 23-acre campus, 1,322 students in grades seven through twelve met daily in five buildings. Projecting C. P. H. S. into a two-story L-shaped struc¬ ture were improving factors in 1948, 1952 and 1955. e p. S. Bulldog Memorial Field, the long-awaited football-track stadium, hailed ’54 for the Crown Point school com¬ munity. In planning now is the possible addition of a swimming pool to the area now under construction. An industrial education building in 195 5 provided then- ample facilities to house those students involved in vo¬ cational classes. The cafeteria and recreation room made their appearances then, too. Now breathing new life into the Crown Point campus, a physical education plant and 12 classrooms are nearing completion. To be ready for use in September, 1959, the addition will replace the two portable classroom areas with ultra-modern facilities for science, art, music, physical ed¬ ucation, and home economics. The giant newcomer will greatly broaden opportunities. In 1958-’59—the year to grow on”—plans and action showed Crown Point able to meet the future’s challenge with promise of the best educational opportunities pos¬ sible for its ever-expanding student population.

P. H. S. in ’59 en¬ rolled 1,322 area students. Nine “feeder” schools provided 300 freshmen. Measuring progress on the $900,000 addition are sidewalk supers” Gil¬ bert Weldy and Warren Garner. To meet today’s educational challenges C. P. H. S. under¬ took new projects in every phase of school life. One of 100 schools in 16 states, it participated in a program for the superior and talented student. This was accomplished in part by E” and S” classes which applied to six ma¬ jor fields of study: English, science, mathematics, social studies, Latin, and art. Five new teachers and seven replacements augmented the ranks of C. P. H. S. instructors to bring the total to 51 as compared with 46 staff members last year. New to the curriculum this year were sociology, developmental reading, auto mechanics, and welding, while some science, mathematics, English, Latin, and junior high classes re¬ placed textbooks. Overshadowing all developments is the addition now un¬ der construction. Although this ultra-modern structure is expected to alleviate a crowded situation, Crown Point is looking already to 1962 when a predicted 1,650 en¬ rollment will show it again bulging at the seams. Even with modern facilities, new courses, new books, and more teachers, results will not become obvious in the near future, certainly not this year. Therefore, since the cul¬ mination of the Hub City’s dreams cannot be immediate, ’59 has been designated a year in which to expand, to ad¬ just . . . ,,. aact one to y%oco on !

With a selection of 4,206 books, students find the library valuable for information-seekers. It all began September 2, 1958 — the bustle of school, that is— at approxi¬ mately eight o’clock in the morning. From the arrival of the first of 11 busses about 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. when the last student (usually a publications worker) straggled out the door, the halls buzzed with worthwhile activi¬ ties. Almost instantly, locker doors were equipped with No Trespassing” signs and cigar boxes loaded down with food, cosmetics, and other valuable necessities. Records rattled from the jukebox in the recreation room about 7,000 times to satisfy dance enthusiasts, while the candy counter supplied the essential en¬ ergy. Without a doubt, hunger was the most prevailing ailment of students as they daily gulped down their sack lunches or ate of the 525 nutritious meals served in the cafeteria. Somewhere in the realm of studies was time for singing i n various ' groups, playing in ensembles, or participating in dramatic productions. Outside re¬ hearsals were innumerable and home¬ work often suffered, but C. P. H. S.’ers managed to pull through. Occasional assembly programs and religious con¬ vocations—this year in two parts, three grades at a time because of a lack of seating space—gave inspiration to re¬ turn to work. A freak snowstorm that gave C. P. H. S.’ers a surprise three- day vacation in January also provided return-to-class inspiration as teens learned idleness is no fun. Other ac¬ tivities—the extras” of school—were Career Day and College Night. Spring brought the usual increase in tempo as everyone—teachers and stu¬ dents — realized the time to get things done was rapidly diminishing. As the front lawn became dotted with noon¬ time sun seekers, the inside walls were plastered with Elect _ ” Commencement, and final report cards finished a year that sought only to pre¬ pare for future years.

Expanding and changing as new sets of faces move into the age-old freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior ranks, C. P. H. S. now transmits knowledge in 67 subjects to its students. In most of these classrooms the stress is off “busy work” and on the more free style of digging out gems of learn¬ ing by personally seeing events, such as the state legislature, or studying sociol¬ ogy by visiting various churches. Practicing this policy ever since it was established is the home economics de¬ partment. Believing in the do-it-your¬ self way, 318 cooks and seamstresses created new delights while awaiting new quarters in the $900,000 addition. Also taking their courses literally were the 84 students each semester who drove the driver training car with its Beware—Student Driver” sign. Biology and chemistry hounds got their hands deep into their work as they dissected small marine animals and ex¬ perimented with formulas and other evil-smelling concoctions. The shop area was also filled with shin¬ ing examples of digging deep into things. The 377 boys in shop classes came up with projects ranging from finding out what makes a car motor tick to how to create a lamp on a wood lathe. Many boys were taught how to get into the heat of things and make the sparks fly in welding class, new this year in both day and night classes. (Night school was resumed this year after a two-year absence.) The music department voiced its les¬ sons by presenting choral and band concerts throughout the year, while students in the journalism department wrote and re-wrote their assignments. More students took math, English, and science courses, the main stem of high school, than in any year before, chalk¬ ing up more evidence of C. P. H. S.’s upward surge.

P. H. S. Juniors boosted their class treasury by $522 in their concession stand at football games. Rush, rush, rush — that’s what many a C P. H. S.’er does after the 3 o’clock bell. For although classes are often hec¬ tic, after-school hours are even more so for many students. Nearly 400 C. P. H. S.’ers joined the ranks of the working in their part-time jobs ranging from secretarial and re¬ ceptionist positions to newsboys, me¬ chanics, and stock boys. But the mainstay of extra-curricular activities is — and probably always will be — the clubs and organizations that abound within the halls of C. P. H. S. Increased memberships show that no matter what the field of activity there are students eager to join it. Two organizations, the band and choir groups, are co-curricular and partici¬ pating students may earn academic credits. The remaining 25 organizations are extra-curricular, usually meeting after school for their activities which include everything from practicing parliamentary procedure to making pos¬ ters to boost the Bulldogs. At still other times the projects had serious purposes. Having so many different clubs pre¬ sents its problems. A student must de¬ cide whether he would rather tinker with a camera, learn the value of con¬ tour farming, or get practice in teach¬ ing. The choice is difficult to make, and many students ' take part in four or five different organizations. Some organizations are honorary, choosing their members. Only letter winners in sports may belong to Let- terman’s Club; students who do well scholastically may be chosen for Na¬ tional Honor Society; while experienced hams” become Thespians and journa¬ lists Quill and Scroll members. But, be they honorary or otherwise, the clubs at C. P. H. S. work for one com¬ mon goal — making C. P. H. S.’ers well- rounded individuals.

S.’er there was little danger of his becoming a social recluse in ’59. His social life consisted of thirty-four Friday night dances, six queens, two sweethearts, and four kingly men,” and then, as if this weren’t enough, there were parties giv¬ en by individual students. Whether you talk, dance, or eat, the Sunshine-Hi-Y Christmas dance is always a gala affair. Pep club head R. Gremel congratulates Mr. Football T. Menn and Homecoming Queen K. Claussen. Homecoming this year included the cremation of a Lowell Red Devil in effigy at the first bonfire in three years, a snake dance nearly two blocks long, and the crowning of the Queen and Mr. Football. Holiday Waltz” became the first for¬ mal Christmas dance co-sponsored by the Hi-Y and Sunshine Society. An¬ other first was the Inklings back to school” dance, August 29. Dancing seemed to be the most im¬ portant form of social life for the C. P. H. S.’er. From the three-year-old rec room, where anyone can dance be¬ fore school, at noon, or after school, to the annual Junior-Senior Prom, the dance scene is sprightly. In ’58, 150 couples took in The Beauty of It All” at Lincolnshire Country Club, Crete, Illinois, while the classes of 1959 and 1960 celebrated at the Surf Room this year, the first for a closed” dance. The Excalibur-sponsored Froshmore Hop, Holly Hop, and the Man of the Year” dance were high on the list of C. P. H. S. social activities. Pizza parties, openhouses after gradu¬ ation, and coketail” parties before im¬ portant dances were only a few of the highly rated home social activities ' . This year’s cold-enough” weather gave ice skating and tobogganing enthusiasts a chance to hold their own parties at the local tennis courts which the Jaycees flooded for skating, or at Buck Hill, a favorite spot for sledding, if they were willing to brave the cold. Although the social activity for a C. P. H. S. student has undergone few changes, it is still a year he will re¬ member as one to grow on.” SOCIAL ' Tft ' ie fiaitieb, ctcutce , t %itle% Holly Hop Queen Sandra Doty’s court includes Di¬ ana Lundgren, Carole Henderson, and Patti See.

' att-time yreat A popular dance introduced this year was the Chalypso, demonstrated here by two C. P. H. S.’ers. Many new fads appeared on the scene at C. P. H. S. this year. Besides the tra¬ ditional clothing and food fads, certain words and phrases came into import¬ ant existence. To the C. P. H. S.’er things are sharp and great” and each person now has at least one idol.” Leg-o-tards of black and red, particu¬ larly, are favorites of the female popu¬ lous, although most males, it was found, heartily opposed them. Muck-lucks, a type of high top shoes, were also popu¬ lar. These were generally made of suede and appeared in almost every color imaginable. Girls continued wearing the traditional flats” but also turned to new versions of T-straps with pointed toes and spindle” or squash” heels. Matching shirts were still top- drawer” with the steady set but sweat¬ ers and dresses for the girls matching shirts and sweaters for the boys be¬ came a familiar sight. A new steady ring rage, angora, found its way to C. P. H. S. After a couple exchanged rings, the feminine half wrapped hers with fluffy angora yarn to match the color of her outfit. The old standby, adhesive tape, maintained its usefulness as one of t ie means of holding over¬ sized class rings on feminine hands. Rings dangling from long gold chains, too, found permanence in the steady dating category of C. P. H. S. life. Pizza became a permanent must of C. P. H. S.’ers ' for after a dance or for Saturday night T.V. parties. Not to be outdone by the Italian craze, potato chips, popcorn, pretzels, coke, and pepsi were also tops on the teen’s list. Trapeze styles—especially in blouses of large floral prints and skirts and jump¬ ers of large splash plaids also became favorites of the casual set. Although many fads were the thing” for teenagers in ’58-’59, C. P. H. S.’ers did not go overboard with following the crowd” . . . another sign, perhaps, that ’59 is the year “to grow on.” Doug Charles shows the wrong and right way to dress, according to the Student Council dress code adopted in 1958.

S. in ’59, as the traditional ones continued to be goals for students to reach for. Honors and awards were the prize” given for hard work and special talents. With increased emphasis on scho lastic achievement, thirty students who earn¬ ed a 3.75 grade average in five of the six grading periods were feted by the Kiwanis Club at a banquet April 29. The annual football and basketball banquets continued to be popular with the school and community, and at the latter, Larry Liss, with the highest grade average, was announced as the Lions Club Athletic Scholar. Honor Day was the time when the ma¬ jority of awards were distributed. Hub clubs and sororities presented senior stu¬ dents with nine scholarships amounting to $1750. Attendance, scholarship, athletic, and extra-curricular award winners were recognized at this all school program in May. Citizenship was the key in selecting the six boys and five girls to study govern¬ ment as they represent Crown Point at Boys and Girls States. The I. U. achievement testing program offered students a chance to use the knowledge gained in classes by com¬ peting with students from all over In¬ diana. Five seniors reached the finals in the National Merit Scholarship ex¬ ams. Students whose names appeared on the honor roll each grading period were again awarded certificates by the National Honor Society, all factors in the increasing encouragement of scho¬ lastic success. Three departmental organizations com¬ peted this year on both the state and national level for more awards of hon¬ ors. Quill and Scroll and Thespians were awards won by students with journalistic or dramatic skills, while the National Honor Society remained the goal of scholastic, service, and leader¬ ship minded upperclassmen.

Page thirty-nine fad One fo m,{ Sports action at C.P.H.S. in 1958-59 reached a pinnacle of success never be¬ fore attained in the Bulldog school. The Hub footballers posted a memorable 8-2 season record and were called the best football team in Crown Point his¬ tory. The baseball version of Red and White men overpowered all area oppo¬ sition on the way to fashioning a 19-3 total. The Bulldog wrestlers wracked up a 11-1-1 mark and the cross country¬ men raced to the best season in C.P.H.S. history. Track and golf added convinc¬ ing victories to the Bulldog win tale. As great as the past year has been ath¬ letically for the Hubmen, ' 58-’59 should be just a stepping stone—the concrete foundation—from which bigger and more spectacular sports success will bios- ATHLETICS som. With the increased enrollment, the improving and enlargening coaching staff, and the new physical education plant to bolster them, Bulldog athletes may rise to unparallelled heights. High-Scoring Bulldogs Set Memorable 8-2 Record Beginning with a 32-0 slaughter of Portage on the first day of school, September 2, the Bulldog football team, under the direction of Coach Jim Carter, fashioned a memorable 8-2 season record. Much glory was funneled toward the Bulldogs when they continued their high scoring by smashing Valparaiso’s Vikings, 39-7, and Rensselaer’s Bomber’s, 32-14, in the next two engagements. A match with arch-rival Merrillville was next on the Hub agenda. The Pirates proved stub¬ born foes and put the Bulldogs behind the eight ball, 7-6, for the first time in the season. But, after a halftime pep-talk, the Bulldogs rose up and buried the battered Pirates 32-7. After a weak Gary Edison crew was disposed, 27-0, the Bulldog gridmen were faced with their toughest assignment of the year—a battle against Hobart’s highly-regarded Brickies.

Thomas, G. Petyko, j. Strata, D. Hoyt, Field, the Bricks and Bulldogs mashed each other all over the field. The frenzy ended even in every statistic except on the scoreboard where the Brickies returned home with a hard-earned 13-7 margin. Lethargy then set in for the Bulldogs for the first half of the Calumet encounter, which end¬ ed with the Bulldogs in arrears 7-6. However, the second period was by no means comparable, as the resurgent Hubmen steamrollered the weak Warriors 61-7 in a splendid display of offensive power. On Homecoming night fullback Ted Mann was crowned Mr. Football and the Bulldogs cele¬ brated with a 46-6 trouncing of Lowell’s Red Devils. A 34-7 pasting of Calumet Conference champion Griffith and an unthinkable” 13-0 loss to Hammond Morton closed the winning Bulldog chapter for the ’58 season. J. Smith, J. Lamphier, D. Parent, D.

No, it’s just Ted Menn (78) and Joe Straka (51) anxiously watching and discussing the game between plays with Jim Collins. The power of Bulldog runners is shown vividly by the grim faces of six Merrillville players tackling John Nedderman (30). Page forty-three With Powerful Offense The Bulldogs tallied 310 points to their oppo¬ nents’ 74; seniors Darrell Hoyt, quarterback, John Nedderman, halfback, and Ron Thomas, tackle, were given all-state honors; and burly senior tackle Herman Barber was lauded by his teammates when they voted him their most valuable player.

Reserves’ Season Bright; Frosh Record Inconsistent Reserve coaches Edward Robertson and Dave Schaeffer helped prepare some future Bulldog stars as they guided the Hub reserves to a win¬ ning 4-2-1 record against some tough opposi¬ tion. The season opened dramatically with a 13-12 nosing of East Chicago Washington, one of the top area teams. Three more smashing victories were attained by the Bulldog reserves before they hit a snag. The Hubsters rapped Valpo, 37-21, Gary Edi¬ son, 19-7, and upset Hobart, 13-6, to go unde¬ feated halfway through the campaign. Then the roof fell in for the Bulldogs. They were held to a scoreless tie by a weak Lowell 11 and then were battered by Griffith, 13-7, and Culver, 24-0, to finish the season. Juniors Joe Carter, Norm Sherck, and Bill Wornhoff and sophomore Mike Kinghorn pro¬ vided some 1959 varsity hopes with their stellar performances all year. Coach Harry Allison’s freshmen had a helter- skelter season, alternating wins with losses and never putting together a solid victory streak. Overpowered by the Hub freshmen were Ho¬ bart Evans, 20-6, East Chicago Washington, 7-2, Lowell, 21-0, and Valparaiso, 20-14, to complete the varsity, reserve, and freshman 1958 domination of the Crown Point-Valpo football rivalry. Page forty-four The frosh boys were beaten by Portage, 19-0, Lew Wallace, 9-0, Rensselaer, 6-0, and East Chicago Roosevelt, 14-0. The 1959 grid season is clouded by the gradua¬ tion of 18 seniors—the nucleus of the ’58 crew. However, it is in turn brightened by the return of 13 junior lettermen to the Crown Point foot¬ ball corps. Page forty-five. Faced with a graduation loss that had stripped the Bulldog ranks of six lettermen, the 1958-59 Hub basketballers responded with an admirable 15-8 season record, including a second place showing in the rugged East Chicago sectional. The ’58-’59 Bulldogs shattered all previous C.P.H.S. sectional marks when they powered over three north-end” foes before losing to the state’s second ranked team, East Chicago Wash¬ ington, in the championship tilt, 77-51. Coach Harry Allison’s little-experienced forces began the season on the right foot by sub¬ merging Chesterton’s Trojans, 63-69, in their initial appearance. However, Valparaiso’s vet¬ eran Vikings soon deflated the Hub ego by pounding the Red and Whiters, 76-56, with some torrid shooting. Varsity Bulldogs are, first row, left to right.

Second row: Page forty-six Reach Sectional Finals The Bulldogs rebounded well by downing Horace Mann, 47-41, and upending Calumet’s fast-breaking Warriors, 53-46, in two come- from-behind victories. Then the inconsistent Hubmen hit a snag in their schedule. Froebel’s springy Blue Devils caught the Hub- sters in the second half of their contest and de¬ feated the Bulldogs 64-56. Culver took the sec¬ ond straight game from the Bulldogs when they Coach Harry Allison gathers the basketball players to deter¬ mine the type, of defense they are going to use. Reserves, Frosh Fall Short of Varsity’s Top Marks, nudged the Hub boys, 57-56, in a wild fracas on the Cadet court. Finally, Griffith’s hot-snip¬ ing Panthers ended the 1958 portion of the sea¬ son dismally for the Bulldogs by eliminating them from the Merrillville Holiday tourney in the opening round, 57-51. With the advent of the new year the senior- studded Bulldog lineup revitalized itself and pounded highly-regarded Hammond Morton, 65-46. This victory catapulted the Bulldogs to a six-game win skein in the next three weeks. Merrillville’s Pirates courageously snubbed the Bulldog power, but were finally outmanned, 55-54, in the most hectic battle of the season. Knox was the first team to feel the sting of the new Bulldog offensive resurgence when they were massacred by the Hubmen, 81-44. Gary Edison also surrendered to the Bulldogs, 60-54. On Points for Polio” night the Bulldogs bur¬ ied Lowell’s Devils, 80-56, and three days later the Red and White men lambasted East Gary with another titanic offensive display, 86-57. Highland stopped the Bulldog glory train with a double ov ertime, 50-49, upset. But, Rens¬ selaer and Gary Wirt fell before the Bulldogs, 74-59 and 70-53, respectively, in the next two games. Losses to Griffith, 58-55, and Portage, 70-62, and an overtime victory over Hobart’s Brickies, 55-53, ended the regular season for the Hubmen. In the East Chicago sectional Crown Point’s basketball prestige was boosted 100 per cent. The Bulldogs walloped their first two foes, Ham¬ mond Clark, 66-46, and Whiting, 74-54, to gain a Saturday afternoon semi-final berth. Then, in the most thrilling sectional game ever seen by most observers, the battling Bull¬ dogs overthrew highly-favored Hammond High, 54-52, in two overtimes to reach the final game against mighty Washington. Bulldog guard Larry Liss captured sectional scoring honors with his 75 points in the four games and senior Darrell Hoyt added 56 points to the Bulldog cause—good for fourth place among sectional scorers. Lettermen on the ’58-’59 Bulldog squad were seniors Liss, Hoyt, Bill Radzwill, Larry Costin, Bob Crowell, Bud Barnett, Jim Collins, Al Noak, and George Wood. Letter-winners among the But Learn Well No, it’s not a Russian dance! It ' s Bud Barnett’s handling the ball as Larry Liss (11) and Darrell Hoyt come to underclassmen, who will be bolstering the Bull¬ dog ranks next year, were junior Dick Fronek and freshman Norm Mills. Coach Edward Robertson’s reserves struggled through a dismal 6-14 season, but gained some valuable experience which should benefit them in their future varsity playing. The Bulldog reserves lacked the consistent shooting and the smooth ball-handling to win a majority of their games, according to Coach Robertson. However, he added that the fresh¬ men and sophomores on the reserves could de¬ velop into solid varsity material. The Bulldog freshmen also weathered a poor season as they managed only five wins against eight defeats. However, the frosh boys were hurt when three ’62’ers played on the reserve team all year. Coach Jim Carter was not too displeased with the freshmen’s overall showing. They played some fine ball during the season and should do well in years to come.” Freshman basketball players are, first row, left to right, J. Campbell, B. Lamphicr, J. Sandstrom, D. Joyce.

Individuals Glow for Mediocre Bulldog Trackmen The spring cinder sport at C.P.H.S. in 1958 was a big success as far as individual perform¬ ance, but rather mediocre for Bulldog track en¬ thusiasts when they compared it to the few previous years. The Hubmen posted a 4-1-1 dual meet standard, losing their first dual meet in three years. However, individually the Bulldogs shone. In the indoor Crown Point Invitational, in which the Red and White placed second out of four teams entered, senior Dick Iwan raced to a new 440-yard record in a time of 52.0 seconds. Al¬ though this counted as the meet record, Dick’s time could not be considered as a school record because it was run indoors. Later Dick soared up in the high jump and tied the existing school standard with a 5’10 54” leap. Little Rich” also performed well enough in the hurdle races to set a new school record of 20.9 seconds in the lows. He came within one-tenth of a second of the Bulldog high hurdle mark. Two new Bulldog records were also set in the field events. Dave Gerold, ’58, lengthened his shot put standard of 45’ when he hefted the 12-pound sphere 50’8” in the sectional meet where he finished second. Senior Phil Williams topped the Bulldog pole vault mark of ll’l”, set by Tom Stathis in 1955, when he boosted himself over the crossbar at 11’2” in the Ham¬ mond Relays. It was on April 3, the Bulldogs’ second dual meet of the year, that the Hub victory string was snapped. Valparaiso’s Vikings overthrew the Bulldog thinclads 58 54 - 50 54 to end a three-year dual meet win sojourn. The Bulldogs were denied the taste of victory only once more in head-to-head combat, though. They were tied by Culver 54 54 - 54 54 on the Cadets’ track. The Hubmen blasted Hammond Clark, Hammond Morton, Merrillville, and Lowell in their other dual meet competitions. In the Little Five meet at Hobart the Bulldogs captured second behind their old nemesis, Ho¬ bart. Then, at the Valparaiso Relays the Bull¬ dogs nearly gained revenge from the Vikings as they were barely nudged for the team crown by the Vikes, 52 54-48 7 12, while besting four other teams. Members of the 1958 varsity track team are, first row, left to Iwan, J. Nedderman, D. Hall, H. Barber, D. Gerold, B. Bar- right, R. Thomas, D. Turner, J. Kaldahl, J. Heaton, B. Nolan, nett, B. Stott.

Page fifty Page fifty-one Hard Slugging, Stingy Pitching, Air Tight Fielding An outstanding season, besting any previous baseball record at C.P.H.S., was the 1958 Bull¬ dog baseballers’ 19-3 season mark. Solid hitting, depth and skill on the pitching staff, and air¬ tight defense made the Bulldog diamond men a hard-to-beat combination. After a few early season rain-outs, the Bulldog nine was forced to play every remaining school day in the last two weeks of school. They re¬ sponded like champions, winning nine straight games before their final 4-0 loss to Hammond Morton. The only other blemishes on the stickmen’s card was an opening, frigid defeat inflicted by Mer¬ rillville, 4-2, and a 1-0 pitching duel between Bulldog ’58 graduate Denny Lundgren and Hammond Noll’s Tom Mellon which was sur¬ rendered by the Bulldogs on a seventh inning error. Three no-hitters were flung by Bulldog pitchers. Lundgren hurled two and senior George Wood added the third with his overpowering fast ball. Right-hand veteran Bud Gremel, ’58, toiled the entire season undefeated, wracking up nine vic¬ tories. Bulldog batsmen massacred opposing hurlers with a barrage of extra-base hits all year. The Hubmen drove 172 runners across the plate while limiting their opponents to only 67 tallies all season. Page fifty-two Equal Top Hub Baseball Season No individual stood out for the Bulldogs, but rather balance was the winning keynote. A keen double-play combination of senior Darrell Hoyt and ’58 grad Bob Collins pulled Bulldog pitchers out of many tight jams with their heads-up fielding. First sacker Phil Kerth, ’58, provided solid bat¬ ting punch for the Bulldogs, and senior catcher tion to his hefty batting chores. Chuck Nelson, junior, gave the Bulldogs some high future hopes when he entered the starting unit in mid-season and proceeded to rise near the top of the Bulldog batters with some long blows and clutch hitting. Six senior lettermen graduated from the Bulldog ranks to deplete the baseball corps for Coach Carl W. Carnahan’s 1959 campaign. Fateh, D. Loeffler, C.

Page fifty-three Bulldogs Again Dominate Area Wrestling Scene Again in 1958-59, as in the three previous years, Coach Carl W. Carnahan’s Bulldog wrestlers gained an outstanding winning record of 11-1-1 against some of the state’s toughest mat teams. The Bulldogs were defeated only by sectional champion East Chicago Roosevelt in the first meet of the season, when the inexperienced Hub could not quite cope with the veterans of the Rough Rider crew. Hammond Tech put the only other mar on the Bulldog slate by tying the Hubmen, 28-28. As the season progressed the few green hands obtained confidence, the lettermen regained their form, and the Bulldogs were practically unbeatable in dual meet competition. Even mighty East Chicago Washington, a perennial wrestling powerhouse, fell before the Bulldogs, 38-16. In the East Chicago sectional the Carnahan-men squeezed through with a third place finish. First and second positions were held by Roosevelt and Tech, the earlier Bulldog defeaters. However, four boys from the Bulldog team qualified for the regional meet in Lafayette. Senior 114-pounder Tim Glassford took the only Crown Point championship when he hung on in the final match for a 5-4 victory. Tim had also been the only Bulldog to wrestle the entire sea¬ son without a loss. Three sectional seconds were garnered by the Hub grapplers. Sophomore 9 5-pound Jack Rees, 128-pound junior Larry Cope, and 175- pound junior Joe Dahl all captured runner-up honors in their respective weight classes. Dahl just about took first place in his division before he was stunned by a hard knock on the mat and was quickly pinned by his opponent. All three of these Bulldogs suffered only one de¬ feat apiece during the regular season.

Joe Dahl. Other outstanding performers during the sched¬ uled campaign for the Bulldogs were 103-pound junior Dave Coapstick, 120-pound senior Bob Rees, 133-pound senior Dick Iwan, 165-pound senior Larry Craig, and heavyweight Larry Slim” Polen, senior. All of these boys had out¬ standing winning records to help boost the Bull¬ dogs to their fine season. Coach Carnahan rated the ’58-’59 Bulldogs on a par” with last year’s 16-3 edition of Hub wrestlers. However, he pointed out that this year’s crew did not have the standout individual performers that the ’57-’58 bunch had, but rather succeeded on team effort and spirit. Golfers Swat, Blast, Putt to Winning 8-7 Record The 1958 version of the Crown Point High School golf team drove, hooked, sliced, chipped, and putted to just over the .500 mark with a final 8-7 regular season record. Starting in the cold spring weather, the Bulldog linksmen prac¬ ticed for about three weeks before their opening meet with Lew Wallace, a sound 13-2 trouncing for the fledgling Hubmen. In this meet the first two Bulldog players were dismayed to witness a hole-in-one by a Wallace golfer. Two more defeats to Dyer and Ham¬ mond Bishop Noll came before the Bulldogs re¬ taliated with three consecutive victories. Three wins in the next five matches were then recorded by the Bulldogs as they tromped Low¬ ell, Calumet, and Griffith while falling to Noll and Lew Wallace again. The sectional meet at LaPorte netted nothing but discouragement for the Bulldogs, but they surged back after the 15-team carnival to take two out of the next three meets. In the final en¬ counter against Valparaiso, the Bulldog clubmen were whipped 11J4 to 3 l z to post their 8-7 standing. Page fifty-six Fleet-footed Nor that carried hin country runs. Harriers Soar to Highest Peak in Hub History Coach Malcolm Ruby’s 1958 cross country ver¬ sion soared to the highest peak in Bulldog his¬ tory, fashioning an admirable 8-2 dual meet record. Led by sophomore flash Ray Schmidt and three hard-working seniors, Larry Liss, Dick Iwan, and Bob Crowell, the Bulldog harriers were the best all-around cross country squad in Crown Point history, according to Coach Ruby. The thinclads began with their only two losses, to Hobart and Chesterton, sandwiched around a 17-46 stomping of River Forest. The Bulldogs then reeled off four consecutive victories, trim¬ ming Griffith and Calumet, two perennial pow¬ erhouses, and walloping Knox and East Chicago Washington. A fifth place in the Hobart Invitational, dupli¬ cating their 1957 performance, and 14th posi¬ tion in the statewide Indianapolis Shortridge Invite consumed the next two Saturdays. Mean¬ while, the harriers had crushed Lowell, 16-45. The best ever” season closed with triumphs over Hammond Morton and East Chicago Roosevelt, plus a repetition of the ’57 first place showing in the 10-team Delphi Invitational. Other letter winners for the ’58 Bulldog harrier group were sophomore John Frazee, junior Brent Cunningham, and freshman Norm Mills.

Four Junior High Sports Provide Training Ground The Crown Point junior high sports program, under the direction of Coach Charles Isley, enjoyed success in practically every athletic schedule. The Bulldog trackmen swarmed all over their dual meet opponents in posting three consecu¬ tive wins over Chesterton, 84J4-41J4, Hobart Evans, 70-56, and Ross, 75J4-50J4. The junior highers were then nosed out of first place in their own relays by Hobart, 74-73, in the final event of the meet. Outstanding performers for the Bullpup run¬ ners were half-miler Joe Harris, quarter-miler Jim Greiner, dash-men Jack Barber, Vaughn Rice, Jim Sandstrom, and Jim Pause, and field event man Norm Mills. Early last spring a group of junior high boys reported to head football coach Jim Carter to participate on the junior high football team. When the season was concluded the Bullpups had won five games and tied one, scored 180 points to their opponents’ 34, and warned all area football coaches to be wary of Bulldog grid teams in the future. Came the basketball season and Coach Isley’s charges were again out in full force for another winning record. However, signals got crossed somewhere along the line and the junior highers finished with a mediocre 4-12 year. The Bullpups played excellent ball on a few oc¬ casions, but on the whole they performed be- for Future Hub Varsities low par. In the season-end River Forest tourney the junior highers were eliminated in the first round by Portage, 25-18. Forward Vaughn Rice was the most consistent scorer for the Bullpups, while husky Jim Pause Doug Conquest grimaces as he captures a rebound with some assistance from Jim Crowell. worked tirelessly under the backboards. The seventh grade version of Bullpup basketballers was more successful, closing its season with a respectable 9-6 showing. The junior highers also tapered off in the soft- ball season, as they managed only a split in their four scheduled games. They opened in mighty fashion when they buried the Lutheran school boys, 39-2. However, positions were soon reversed when Taft and Lowell came to the Bullpup diamond and tripped the junior highers, 8-5 and 9-2, re¬ spectively. Revenge was gained in the final game, though, when the Bullpups smashed Taft, 11-8. SCOREBOARD FRESHMAN FOOTBALL C.P. Opp. Hobart Evans .20 6 Portage . 0 IP E. C.

Membership was limited to only girls who earned points, with 50 points required to attend the Sunshine Hi-Y Christmas Formal and 100 points needed to participate in the May Breakfast. Points could be obtained by serving on committees or selling some of the 1,200 cans of candy distributed by the society. The profit goes to the Riley Hospital fund and other charities sponsored by the state Sunshine organization. The local society plans to host the state convention in the spring of 1960 in the new gym. A caroling party, the annual formal dance, and the clothing drive were three activities shared with the Hi-Y.

This year, as last year, season tickets for all home basketball games were sold, which enabled any lively C.P.H.S.’er to have a reserved seat in the big booster block for the Red and White. The spirited 200 cheerers, shouting and howling their encouragement to the team, proudly displayed the school’s colors with the capes which were supplied by the Booster Club for the second year. With these bright red and white capes the big C” could be shown to the boys on the floor and to all the fans. Big red carnations and white gloves foi the girls dressed up the cheering block at the sec¬ tional tourneys, where C.P.’s Booster Club went all out for team spirit. The 1958 block walked away from the sectionals with voices a little hoarse, but with heads held higher after receiv¬ ing the sportsmanship trophy for the best cheer¬ ing block. The ’59 block was highly praised. Booster Club members could be seen in the halls of C.P.H.S. just before the away football or bas¬ ketball games, eagerly signing up students for the booster bus. There were buses to almost every game this year and two went to the Rens¬ selaer football game. Four were ordered for each Bulldog session of the sectional.

Competing against the whole camp, C.P.H.S.’s varsity squad merited a first place for their version of Who Are You Going to Yell For?” More honors were bestowed upon the cheer¬ leaders when the University of Michigan se¬ lected from the 115 students four who were capable of handling flips and twists on the trampoline and made them members of the Tramp Club.” Three were from Crown Point: Patti See, Elaine Cohoon, and Brian Spencer. Sportsmanship and crowd phychology ranked high as topics for daily classes. Also included in discussions were cheerleading techniques, uni¬ forms, pom pom routines, and new cheers. George, the Bulldog mascot, underwent recon¬ struction during the year, changing from white to gray and appearing more ferocious. The new George was crowned king at the homecoming football game with Lowell. Serving as varsity cheerleaders were seniors Kay Claussen and Patti See and juniors Sandy Doty, Elaine Cohoon, and Brian Spencer. Reserve cheerleaders were Penny Dille, Sharyn Fagen, and Carole Henderson, all sophomores in accordance with the 1958 ruling that all reserve cheerleaders must be sophomores. Freshmen Georgeann Polen, Diana Lundgren, Kathy Esser, Karen Wiltfong, and Cindy Bar¬ nett led cheers for frosh games. Reserve and varsity cheerleaders teamed up for added support at several pep sessions and before the sectional games, when for the first time a Saturday afternoon pep session was held to pre¬ pare for backing the team at East Chicago. Cheerleaders also combined with the Booster Club in the bonfire celebrations before the homecoming, leading cheers and organizing the snake dance.

Page seventy-one Girls Look Forward to New Gym, Plan Play Days A Holiday in Hollywood,” subject of the 1958 G.A.A. carnival produced by 180 active G.A.A. members in 27 acts, represented a hick’s eye view” of the famous filmland paradise on the West Coast. Back again for the ’58-’59 version of the G.A.A. variety show, 112 girls whirled the audience Around the World in 40 Winks” in 19 dream sequences. The carnival is an annual affair and one of the main moneymaking projects of the Girls Ath¬ letic Association. Of the group’s many and varied sports activities, which include bowling, basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, golf, track, soccer, modern dancing, and hiking, none are new this year. However, golf, track, modern dance, tennis, and hiking have not been included in the C.P.H.S. program for several years. New to the organization is the basketball play day held at River Forest this spring. The Crown Point representatives joined the players from other schools for rousing team play. The planning committee is exploring the pos¬ sibilities of having a Crown Point play day next year when the new gym facilities are available. Another addition to the broadening scope of the athletic organization is an Officials Club com¬ posed of 28 G.A.A. members. The Officials Club was responsible for refereeing the girls Inter¬ class Tourney games, which the G.A.A. won for the fifth straight year. Carrying on the planning duties for the club was the executive council, composed of the offi¬ cers of G.A.A. and the Off icials Club and two members at large. They helped form a constitu¬ tion, which provides the means for executive reorganization of the association for next year. A new G.A.A. office was created, intra-mural head, to be in charge of all the organized sports activities of the club. Qualifications for this in¬ dividual are that she be a senior and that she have at least 800 points. Another money-making project of the club for the purchasing of awards and trophies and sup¬ porting the play days next year was the selling of dolls. The five types of dolls represented typical C.P.H.S.’ers in doll form. Adding up their G.A.A. bowling scores are Nancy Fagen, Car¬ olyn Blum, and Sally Cooper. One stop in Around the World ' was Scotland where Lloyd Ann Louis, Sandra Alston, and Donna Antal gave their ver¬ sion of the highland fling.

C.P.H.S. is one of the few high schools in Indi¬ ana to buy letter sweaters for its award-winning boys. The school is able to do this by using a fund that the lettermen constantly add to through the sale of programs at home football games and the selling of cokes at home basket¬ ball games. Sold also this year were pencils brightly stamped with the 1958-59 basketball schedule and each bearing a big wooden basket¬ ball at one end. Among their activities the lettermen sponsored two of the regular Friday night dances and a hayride in the fall. Officers of the Lettermen’s Club were Ted Menn, president, Joe Carter, vice-president, and Joe Straka, treasurer. Page seventy-five re nurses are, first row, left to right, W. Frederixon, B.

Future Nurses Investigate Job Opportunities Nursing enthusiasts flocked to the monthly meetings of the Future Nurses Club to learn more about the human body, its proper care, and modern nursing methods. Films illustrating special phases of these subjects were shown to the girls. Also, a variety of speakers, including the director of admissions from Wesley Mem¬ orial Hospital in Chicago, talked to the mem¬ bers about nursing careers. One of the club’s activities was a trip to the Methodist Hospital in Gary where the girls caught a glimpse of their possible futures as modern day Florence Nightingales as well as basic fundamentals of the profession. The future nurses sponsored a party in the spring to top off their year’s activities. Again, as in past years, the girls earned money for the F.N.A. treasury by selling ice cream at all home basketball games. Mrs. Rita McFadden, new school nurse, took Offering suggestions to Willie Frederixon for future meetings are Marilyn Schmelter, Barbara Hein, Roxy Hopkins, and Carron Dille, all officers.

Teachers-To-Be Learn New Techniques by Doing Page seventy-seven Encouraging students to explore the teaching profession is the main goal of the Future Teach¬ ers of America. One way by which the club accomplishes this goal is placing senior students in actual classroom situations in the local ele¬ mentary schools. Another method of enlightening students as to the particular duties and responsibilities of teaching is through the monthly meetings. This year all phases of the profession were discussed and special speakers brought in to discuss in more detail such areas as journalism, coaching, high school and elementary schools and the special class at South Ward school. A round-up” at East Chicago Roosevelt also provided a means for the local future teachers to become better acquainted with education as a profession. Besides sponsoring the club’s dance, members sold ice cream bars at the home basketball games to build up the treasury for a trip to Ball State Teachers College.

Bill Deutsch was club secretary, and Tony Wirtz was treasurer. Six Firsts Make F.F.A. Tops in District Contest Carl Sapper, John Dixon, and Tony Wirtz examine one of the slides taken by F.F.A. members on the prize trip to Pennsylvania. Development of better and more efficient farm¬ ing methods is the goal of the local chapter of the F.F.A.—Future Farmers of America. Under the leadership of Leon Dean, agricultural in¬ structor, the club was once again the top chap¬ ter in the district, winning six out of 10 possible firsts at the district contest. A special project for this year was the purchase and assembly of an air compressor and steam cleaner. This machine, when completed, will be made available to chapter members. A big event for the F.F.A. is their annual dance, at which the chapter sweetheart is crowned. This year Phyllis Noak was chosen. Through field trips and by practical application of new farming methods, the F.F.A. works toward its goal of scientific farming. Thespian members are, first row, left to right, Mrs. Norma Iliflf, J.

Members decorated the school’s attendance office and took a trip to the Chicago Art Institute. Also a Halloween dance, complete with yellow moon and black cat, and a tobogganing party were sponsored by the club. This year the club had membership cards, which were distributed by the officers: Jean Spencer, president, Celia Josh, vice-president, Arlene Nagy, secretary, and Roxy Hopkins, treasurer.

Just ask any member of the Machinists Club. This organiza¬ tion’s biggest project was lining up players for the basketball teams in the tourney, scheduling the practices, and providing the refreshments. By selling tickets to these games and by taking charge of one of the weekly school hops, the machinists were able to augment both their ac¬ tivity schedule and their treasury. With these funds the boys bought additional equipment for C.P.H.S.’s machine shop. With about 25 members, each curious to know the makings and operations of any piece of machinery, the club often took field trips to local industries. The Letz Manufacturing Com¬ pany, Merz Machine and Tool Works, the Ford Plant, and a plant which makes automatic cof¬ fee machines were visited by the machinists. Bill Radzwill was the club’s president, Richard Fronek was the vice-president, and David Wer¬ blo was the secretary-treasurer. Joseph Seale, machine shop instructor, is the group’s sponsor.

The beepings of Sputniks and Vanguards in 1959 continued to herald the space age and stress the value of science. At C.P.H.S. 35 stu¬ dents interested in science became members of the Science Club to increase their knowledge and practice of scientific activities. At meetings the members used this knowledge to conduct experiments, interpret films, and to exchange ideas and information.

Page eighty-two Rome Rebuilt in Two Years by Parties, Programs When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Observing this age old adage, Latin students worked throughout the year to maintain Roman tradi¬ tions by putting on skits about Rome and the Romans. At Christmas they even wrote letters to Santa in Latin! The Latin Club, composed of second year Latin students, is devoted to the study of the Romans and their way of life. At one meeting Roman dress might be discussed, while Roman myth¬ ology could make up the subject of the next meeting. Every phase of Roman life and culture is at least touched upon. Latin scholars learn about Roman art, music, entertainment, games, and government. They have fun while learning why Janus had two faces and how naval battles were held in the amphitheaters. This year a play, This is your life, Julius Caesar,” was given. It depicted the life—and death—of Gaius Julius Caesar. Another project was the celebration of the Roman equivalent to Christmas—the Satur¬ nalia—in the same manner as the Romans did. The Latin Club went to the Museum of Natural History in Chicago to see its Roman exhibit. On this trip, which is an annual affair, they have a chance to see Roman articles ranging from spoons to coffins. Latin Club consuls were, left to right: Bill Lundgren, Bob Lottes, Myra Hamilton, and Donna Anderson. The brightest event for the Latin Club is the annual Roman banquet, this year on May 8. At this banquet the club members and their guests of honor, the seniors who had been in the Latin Club, are served by freshman slaves.” The ban¬ quet is in traditional Roman style, complete with Roman clothing and foods. The food is brought by the slaves, and the guests proceed to eat without silverware.

Dramatists Practice Skill With One-Act Plays Page eighty-six Under the guidance of Mrs. Norma Schaeffer, the theater aspirants of C.P.H.S. gathered in Room 211 to learn the techniques and many phases of drama. Besides practicing to transmit feeling, the members studied the art of appliy- ing make-up and worked on production crews for the one-act plays given by the club. They also worked on technical crews for the junior and senior class plays. Four one-act plays were presented during the year, starting with The Valiant,” produced by the club members at the January Thespian ini¬ tiation. The actors were Dave Shaver, Dan Mc¬ Ginnis, Steve Tuhy, Sandy Douglas, and Steve Lewis. The second play, Sunny Morning,” starred John Brindley and Sue Driscoll.

One way they help others is through the presentation of pro¬ grams on colleges and college life. This year one program was on college extensions, and students from Indiana University, Purdue University, and St. Joseph’s College extensions gave their views on life at an extension. The students tried to cover all phases of extension life and brought out many of the advantages—and disadvan¬ tages—of an extension. During the Christmas vacation the Honor So¬ ciety gave a party for the seniors and for col¬ lege students who graduated last year. Seniors then could get first hand information about different colleges. Another project is the recognition of the stu¬ dents who make honor roll grades for five of the six six-week grading periods. At a spring , one of the four Society program these students are given certificates of merit to show that they have had a high scholas¬ tic standing for the year. In the spring, 10 per cent of the senior class, and five per cent of the junior class are rewarded with memberships in the Honor Society for showing outstanding character, service, leader¬ ship, and scholarship. All students displaying these qualities are eligible for membership, al¬ though the actual choice is left up to the faculty. Student worker Gary Petyko dispenses “treats” from the Student Council’s stand in the student-managed rec room. Council Aids Leaders; Committee Picks Drivers Planning and conducting a leadership conference was an important event for the Student Coun¬ cil this year. For the first time all the officers of school activities were invited to attend a con¬ ference where they listened to James Knight, a local businessman, talk to them about the re¬ sponsibilities of leadership. The presidents and vice-presidents were put into one group while the secretaries and treasurers attended another. Revising the safe driving code put into opera¬ tion three years ago and deciding on a safe driver monthly were only two of the necessary jobs performed by the safe driving committee, a part of the student government structure. On November 3 members of the committee, along with the two officers of the council, trav¬ eled to Hammond for the Teenage Traffic Coun¬ cil sponsored by the Hammond P.T.A. Page eighty-eight Student Council members again were in charge of the recreation room and this year initiated a new system to keep the area ship-shape. Rec¬ ords for the rec room jukebox as well as the one in the gym used for Friday night dances were purchased by the council’s record committee. Concessions were also sold in the rec room. In November the council officers, president Tim Glassford, vice-president Ron Thomas, secretary Karen Schroeder, and treasurer John Brindley attended the meeting of the Indiana Association of Student Councils. The council also conducted the annual elections in the spring, introduced the Class of 1962 in the school’s second pre-school freshman orien- Dave Overton, left, and Dan McGinnis, two volunteer work¬ ers, point with pride to their achievements — the electric scoreboard purchased by the 1957-58 Student Council for use on Bulldog Memorial Field. tation program, worked on revisions of the elec¬ tion system, and put into effect the new dress right” code chosen last spring.

The two-night stand of the Rodgers and Hammer- stein musical featured a double cast, a real sur¬ rey with the fringe on top,” special costuming, Operettas Give ‘Infant’ and a sell-out crowd both nights. This year’s May 1-2 production of The King and I” fur¬ ther enhanced the record of the choir. An annual Christmas concert, sponsored jointly with the band, a special Christmas performance in which the entire choir was invited to enter¬ tain at one of the local organization’s holiday parties, and the three annual convocations— Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter—formed a major portion of the choir activities this year. A second chili supper became an annual money¬ ma king project for the choir this year. Members served the chili and provided the entertainment for the evening with mothers of choir members taking care of the cooking. Out of a total of 58 choir entries in the district piano and vocal solo and ensemble contest at Lew Wallace school, Gary, three earned the right to attend the state version of this con¬ test at Butler University, Indianapolis.

A Cappella New Stature Another big feature on the choir’s agenda was their annual appearance at the baccalaureate services for graduates. An acquisition of the choir during the year was a three-speed phonograph and tape recorder to be used strictly by the choir. This year did not prove to be all work and no play for choir members, though. Among their extracurricular activities were an ice skating party after the state vocal contests and a deco¬ rating party at Christmas time, when one day was set aside to decorate the music room and listen to recorded Christmas carols. The work of the choir was further carried on in the form of ensembles. A dance band trio, the Accidentals, was formed as were a dance band duet, a boys’ pop quartet, and the Hum¬ mingbirds and Bel Tones. A new type of organ¬ ization this year, the Madrigals, composed of choir members more experienced in the tech¬ niques of sight reading, gave new opportunities to the more thoroughly trained students. These ensembles were often invited to sing for civic organizations and church programs. Page ninety-one Marching Bulldogs,” C.P.H.S.’s 84-piece band placed seventh out of 90 Indiana high school bands at the Indiana State Fair parade in Aug- Band Marches to Finals, ust, 1958, with 78 bandsmen, 21 cadets, and a color guard of four doing the honors. In Indianapolis again the band entered 11 en¬ sembles and three solos in the state vocal and instrumental solo and ensembles competition. These 14 entries were the result of first place awards earned at the district contest at Portage Township High School. Band members performed during the halftimes of most of the home football games and varsity basketball games. The Bulldog musicians were invited to Ball State Teachers College to perform during the halftime of a Cardinal football game. Reciprocating the invitation, band members housed the Cardinal band for one night after Takes Fair’s Seventh Place they presented their halftime show on Bulldog Memorial Field. A second annual Pop Concert,” a Christmas concert, sponsored jointly with the A Cappella choir, and a winter concert made up the special program activities of the music department. An exchange concert, the Memorial Day parade, and the appearance of the band in the com¬ mencement exercises were other projects of the musicians. An enjoyment” trip to Riverview amusement park in Chicago finished off the activity calen¬ dar for the band as well as giving them a final chance to appear in contest in the Riverview marching competition. Selling candy, earning band letters,” wearing the bright band jackets, challenging for chairs,” Russell, president. and soliciting purchasers of the music depart¬ ment’s season concert tickets were also a part of the band’s big year. Cadets Add Color, Contests This year the junior band boasted of 66 mem¬ bers.

Spice as Musicians Vie for Quality and Honors In order to keep an already-established top- notch reputation, members of C.P.H.S.’s own dance band assemble once a week for an hour and a half to study and interpret their music. The dance band rendered its services for dances and other occasions—for a fee, of course—play¬ ing anything from Strauss to rock ’n’ roll. Other schools throughout the area particularly sought out the Hub band for their big dances. As the end of the school year approached, the members totaled their proceeds and headed for Chicago, dinner, and a show—fit reward for a year of entertaining others. Early every morning during the summer, senior Bill Briggs, drum major, along with 15 cadets and seven majorettes worked on routines for the approaching football season. Sporting new uniforms of white with red fringe and carry¬ ing two red shakers, the three-year-old cadet organization mastered advanced techniques. Both groups, the cadets and majorettes, per¬ formed at the annual pop concert in November. City policeman Don O’Niones taught the major¬ ettes their baton twirling routines. Each girl wore an all-white uniform which with the use of black lighting glowed in the dark. Page ninety-five Members of the Inklings staff are, first row, left to right, Mueller, M. McCoy, P.

Turtle Races, Contests Boost Paper Circulation Bustling Room 108 is hardly a place for slow pokes; nevertheless, the busy publications room became very turtle-conscious in the fall when the Inklings sponsored a turtle derby to boost circulation. Circulation was increased by bounds both semesters, and even though the very rarest of weather happened—C.P.H.S. closed down for three days because of snow—the circulation and editorial staffs kept meeting the deadlines. Editor Kay Simmers and sports editor Larry Liss examine a page of the paper set in type, the final stage before it is Covering beats and adding sniffs” and stories to the many six and eight-page and regular four-page papers, plus a C.P.H.S. page in the Hammond Times, were jobs of the journalism class and staff. The 1958-59 issues put many firsts on the Inklings records: a two-page liter¬ ary supplement, a George-ite” column telling of parties around the school, and a new name¬ plate showing off C.P.H.S. in a line drawing. Inklings managers Steve Lewis, Judy Roth, Bonnie Baldwin, and Dan Root gather to watch as the mercury” rises in the thermometer measuring subscriptions.

Deadlines Prove Hurdle Enough for Yearbook Staff Proving its worth last summer, the preliminary plans of the ’59 Excalibur took first place in the top budget division in the yearbook section of the High School Journalism Institute at Indiana University. Taking more awards, the ’58 annual won a fifth straight All-American from Nation¬ al Scholastic Press Association and a first place from Columbia Scholastic Press Association. A new point system as a basis for awards ini¬ tiated staff members in the techniques of turn¬ ing assignments in on time. Two types of training sessions, a fall meeting and dinner, and the spring sessions for prospec¬ tive Excalibur staff members, were sponsored by the staff in an effort to acquaint the younger members with their responsibilities and duties. Excalibur staff members are, first row, left to right, J. Baackc, J. Polomcak, J. Jefferson, J. Bice, S. Davis, B. Mueller, J. Wille, C. Fought. Second row: C. Palmer, J. Roff- man, K. Schroeder, S.

Page ninety-seven faaov mi Expanding people-wise, Crown Point High School changed its face during the summer months to provide more room for the ever-increasing student body. Junior high students were relo¬ cated for part of each day in three im¬ provised classrooms in the gym. Weld¬ ing classes took over the school garage and the rec room doubled as a sack lunch” room when two rooms pre¬ viously open during lunch hours were put back into use as classrooms. An actual count shows 1,322 students in the six grades this year, comparing to the 1,242 in 1958. Expected next year is a jump of another 116 students. PERSONALITIES Additional faculty to care for present and anticipated nee ds also marked this year. A year of growth in all phases, physical, mental, and spiritual, ’59 re¬ corded itself in the lives of the person¬ alities who make C.P.H.S. Principal Gilbert Weldy greets visitors with a smile from his desk in the main office, the center of all school activity. Hub Administrators Learn A growing school plant along with a growing student body meant added problems and re¬ sponsibilities for the administrators of Crown Point High School. Gilbert Weldy, principal, kept the school machinery in smooth running order, with Warren Garner, assistant principal and dean of boys, and Mrs. Cornelia Wood, dean of girls, completing the administrative staff. In its second year, the administrative council worked closely with both the Student Council and faculty, handling the problems and policies arising with an expanding school population. Deciding on such problems as restrictions on prom attendance, a social code, and a restricted parking area because of the construction were only a few of the considerations. Members of the council are Mr. Weldy, Mr. Garner, Mrs. Helen Palmer, guidance director, Mrs. Wood, Carl Carnahan, Mrs. Margaret Mracek, and Mrs. Janice Dean. The people who own and operate the schools are represented by Kenneth Knight, Mrs. Thea Vance, and Paul Rapp, who compose the school board. Carrying out board policies as superin¬ tendent of schools for the third year is Robert J. Brannock. Mrs. Ruth O’Neill, Mrs. Floyd Vance, school board secretary, Robert Brannock, Kenneth Knight, school board president, and Paul Rapp , school board treasurer, look over advance plans for the new school addition.

Tantabulous’ ’59’ers Make C.P.H.S. Term Eventful Four years ago 315 brand new freshmen in¬ vaded C.P.H.S. and its sacred traditions. In a matter of four short years the impossible was accomplished. Not only did the Class of ’59 graduate the largest number of seniors in the school’s history, but it also established for itself a reputation for having the most widely recog¬ nized class spirit of recent years. During the occupancy of the fantabulous” ’59’ers many earth shaking events took place on the world scene. The space age made its presence known and the technical rather than the aesthetic side of life was rocketed into im¬ portance in most schools. Conditions necessitated the addition of a new physical education plant and 12 new classrooms. New courses, new books , new equipment, and new instructors were tried out on the ’59’ers as well as new methods of learning — the E” classes for example. New senior hats appeared, replacing the tradi¬ tional derbys. Leg-a-tards, the chalypso, and Elvis Presley presented themselves on the C.P.H.S. scene, and in turn, were pushed into the background of the everchanging high school panorama by new idols” and all-time greats.” The ’59’ers boasted five finalists in the National Merit Scholarship testing program. Memories— The Fighting Littles,” a distinctly different pattern in class rings, the junior stand, and class sweaters bearing the class colors of navy on white in old English lettering—set off the first three years of class activities. As seniors, Our Town,” the class play, remains high on the list of unforgetable experiences. Term papers, government tests, senior week, the athletic triumphs of ’59, and graduation present topics of conversation for future get- togethers of ’59’ers. As 222 seniors, clad in cardinal red” robes (another first) march to the platform for their long awaited diplomas the last reverberating cry of hip, hip, hurray, ’59 all the way” will sound its prophetic echo through C.P.H.S. halls and ’59 will make way for a new batch of fresh- ies,” the Class of ’63. Page one hundred twenty-two JUNIORS Comparing their newly chosen white and teal blue class sweaters with those of previous years are (left to right) junior class officers Carol Tullis, secre¬ tary; Sue Davis, treasurer; Chuck Nel¬ son, vice-president, and Ron Kaiser, president. The Class of ’60 increased its treasury by selling concessions at home football games and subtracted a major part from it for the expenses of the junior-senior prom, this year limited to upperclassmen only. SOPHOMORES Selection of their class rings is an event sophomores all await eagerly. Tallying votes for the styles are sophomore class heads (left to right) Virginia Foster, secretary; Tom Tayler, treasurer; Bill Fateh, vice-president, and Don Hefner president. The Class of ’61’s choice, in tune with the space age, was a ring called Vanguard. Becoming established in high school life was another accomplishment of the Class of ’61 as members experi¬ enced their second year at C.P.H.S. FRESHMEN Again with maps to guide them through the bustling halls of C.P.H.S., a new set of freshmen began the routines of high school life. The Class of ’62 chose (left to right) Nancy Tuhy, treasurer; Bonnie Cooper, secretary; Norman Mills, president, and Dixe Paarlberg, vice- president, to lead them during this year filled with new experiences. Looking over posters for the Froshmore Hop, underclass semiformal, are the officers, who help plan the Hop.

Such a pace is maintained all year—and particularly this year with the walk to the gym added to the daily itinerary—by the junior high as they strive to complete their activities. A magazine drive is the first big project in which the students compete against each other for the highest sales of subscriptions. To reward the winner for his excellent job a clock radio was given. The total sales reached approximately $4100. Roller skating parties—full of spills and surprises—picnics, and most important of all the class parties, are the ingredients that com¬ pose their social whirl. Serving the hungry crowds at football and basketball games by operating the popcorn ma¬ chine proves to be fun and a financial boost. Junior high students also tried their skill at hamming it up” by giving a successful musi¬ cal comedy Tom Sawyer.” Sunray and the Junior High Science Club are organizations in which seventh and eighth graders may participate. Sunrays (all girls) join Talking over their salesmanship methods are Eric Foreman, David Aken, and Jim Crowell, high magazine salesmen. Dancing in the rec room at their annual Christmas party arc two eighth graders, Susan Spencer and John Coe. for the purpose of helping others. The com¬ munity gains from the actions of these clubs, and a better quality of students is produced. It’s no wonder that junior high students are always racing everywhere. They have much for which to find time. Looking over the missile they built on junior high science club time are Jim Pugh and Tom Piper. Page one hundred forty-three iud One ta To be modernistic is the trend of Crown Point merchants as the stores, lined around the square facing the aged, red-bricked courthouse, are continu¬ ally being remodeled or expanded to ac¬ commodate the increasing population. The town itself is gradually blossoming into a thriving city as the children bulge the schools and the adults cram the stores buying their daily needs. Keep¬ ing items up to date proves a big pro¬ ject for the individual owners as they strive to meet the requirements of the demanding public. Many of the patrons are students of Crown Point High who are subject to the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the dealers. Population, stores, churches, schools, and homes all are included in the im- ADVERTISING mense growth. Such is the prosperity of a once small town accepting the re¬ sponsibility of raising educated citizens to assist in its development. N. I. P. S. C.
