The biggest change was that the Inklings ' staff sponsored Turnabout. Always before Sunshine Society had taken the responsibilities of the dance. Nature was the theme surrounding the couples as they danced to the music of “The Returns. A frosty moon hung over the dance floor, while real Christmas trees and scat¬ tered pine branches completed the outdoors atmosphere. For the first year, a professional photographer was at the dance to take pictures of couples. The pictures were taken beside a life size snow¬ man donated by Mr. Whipple.” Stu¬ dents were asked not to “squeeze the snowman.” A new way of choosing kings and queens was also introduced. The cou¬ ples registered according to the girl ' s grade. One name was drawn from each class, so there was a queen from every grade. The queens ' escorts served as kings, so there was not a king from every grade. This attempt was made to abolish the voting on the popularity of royalty in the past. It also made it possible for anyone to be chosen. Although there were many changes, 225 couples attended the turnabout dance. Turnabout changes

Spirit halls return After not having class spirit halls last year, many students were happy to see the come back this year. Each class was assigned a hall to decorate in support of the Bulldogs. The seniors were the only class with experience in spirit halls, but the junior class came through with a winning hall filled with “ten little Warriors. The Basketball Bump was held on the Saturday preceding sectionals in the cafeteria. Students danced to the music of “White Rhye. This dance had originally been scheduled to be a turnabout, but due to popular demand, it was changed so anyone could come with a date or by himself. Students were able to show their support of the Bulldogs by wearing red and white on the day of the sec¬ tional game or going to the game itself. As usual. Crown Point was well represented by cheerleaders, fans, and the team. They all showed the other schools that CPHS had spirit.
