Given the name of Barney Bulldog, by the junior class (below), the INKLINGS chose him as an athlete of the week for his endeavors to back the Bulldogs with spirit all week long. Decorating committees were at work transforming CPHS halls into spirit-inspiring passage-ways. Mystery was the vogue since all workers de¬ clined any information about their themes. This was the first year they were not put up in the respective class halls. The senior class had the north wall from the wrestling room to the end of the hall. The junior class had the west wall by room G56. The north wall of the main cafeteria eating area was the sophomores ' domain. The Spirit Halls are judged in three categories: theme, continuity, and neatness. Mr. Jerry Holcomb, Mr. Vic Dykiel and Mr. Ken Brist were the judges of the halls. As a tradition the seniors won recognition as the best decorated hall. The theme of the seniors was a mural depicting the history of the Bulldogs from cave men to the present day. How to Advance to Regionals was the junior class theme. They pic¬ tured a team learning the basic funda¬ mentals of winning. The sophomore class theme One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians, showed the Bulldog players in a hopeful pose: scalping the Lake Central Indians. Many students were involved in various activities of Spirit Week. Nos¬ talgia came with 50 ' s day. Most pop¬ ular was red and white day. All to¬ gether school spirit rose to an all-time high at Crown Point High School. MYSTERY SHROUDS SPIRIT CONTEST 19

GYM LURES STUDENTS AT NOON Taking part of their lunch hour, CPHS stu¬ dents join in the volleyball intramurals. This was one of the many activities popular with students during their lunch hours. The intramural program, compared with past year ' s, attracted more partic¬ ipants this year. There were more sign-ups and the students seemed to enjoy the various intramural activi¬ ties. Each team plays in a round robin type of tournament. There was a play¬ off to find the best boys team and the best girls team. Mr. Tom May, coordinator of the intramural program, put the Crown Point gymnasium to good use fourth and fifth hours by promoting student warfare through many activities, in¬ cluding ping pong, volleyball, basket¬ ball, and tag team wrestling. What was once the AV room and the weight room became the cafeteria area. The cafeteria was broken up into three eating areas. By the fall of 75 the new cafeteria with a seating capacity of 600, with a carpeted floor covering three-fourths of the floorspace should be complete with all of these features. All this will be located west of the existing gym¬ nasium. One problem was the fact that the cafeteria had no storage rooms due to the construction. The cooks and stu¬ dent workers had to go to the gym to get supplies where they were stored. Inflation hit the cafeteria very hard. For example, a box of napkins that sold for $7 last year jumped up to $13 this year. One hundred pounds of sugar which cost $16, sky-rocketed to $47. Inflation hit hard at CPHS in 1975.
