Lake County’s historic courthouse cele¬ brated its centennial this year. The Victo¬ rian structure, erected in 1878 on a piece of land deeded to the county by Solon Robinson, saw many famous people pass through its doors. During the 1920’s, Crown Point was a notorious “marriage mill.” Rudolph Valentino, the great silent movie star, was married in the Lake County Courthouse. In 1974. the future of the Courthouse was in danger. County offices moved from the old building to the new government center, and the courthouse was left vacant on the square. However, the Lake County Courthouse Foundation was formed to save the courthouse. It raised money through private contributions and other grants to restore the courthouse. Now. in its one hundredth year, the courthouse bell, located in the freshly painted clock tower, chimes the hours every day. The courthouse basement houses several shops, including record, ice cream, puzzle, and plant shops. The Foundation plans to continue its restoration work on the rest of the court¬ house exterior. The interior will be con¬ verted to a museum of Lake County and a cultural center. Lisa Kremer was crowned Crown Point’s 1978 Junior Miss in the Jaycee’s sponsored contest.

For the second consecutive year, the Inklings staff sponsored CPHS’ annual Christmas Turnabout Dance. The chosen date for the dance was Saturday, Decem¬ ber 10 from 8 to 11 p.m. in the school caf¬ eteria where 175 couples attended. This year co-chairpersons Barb Toman and Meg Golden were in charge of plan¬ ning the dance. The first task of the co-chairpersons was to choose a theme for the dance and to select a band. “Shimmering Starlight” was chosen and “Locust” from Lowell was the band selected for the evening. The choosing of the queens was per¬ formed in the same way as it was intro¬ duced last year. As each girl arrived, she put her name on the back of her ticket and dropped it in the correct box for her grade level. Co-editors of the Inklings, Dee Michaelis and Lisa Kroner, drew the tick¬ ets from the boxes and awarded the queens with scepters. The Turnabout queens were Senior Jan Madajczyk, Jun¬ ior Sue Fischer, Sophomore Alane Hor¬ ner, and Freshman Nancy McCoy along with their escorts. Senior Tom Thompson, Junior Dan Galich, Junior Dave McEvilly, and Sophomore Scott Kracht, respectively. For the royal couples, espe¬ cially, the dance will remain a shimmering memory.
