We have spent the past four years seek- ing to reap the greatest benefit from the educational advan- tages offered us. As Seniors we have had the pleasure of building a volume of the El-Pe, wherein we have endeavored to record events of interest, which will, we trust, bring back cherished memories for years to come. It is with pleasure that we, in behalf of the Senior Class, present the 1928 El-Pe.

I chose as guides Helen McCarty, Charles Weller, and Martha Tallant. These served me well and wisely for a year, until I changed my path, and, necessarily my guides. “For another period, Virgil Kbert, Casimira Lamber and Clayton Collins directed my steps. I had been two years in the forest, and now, though the end approached, and the forest grew less dense, I realized that I needed guides as much as ever. The selection I made as I grew in wisdom and understanding included Bolsar Ludwig, Clayton Collins, and Margaret Littleton. Twice did I stop while on the pilgrimage, once to give a brilliant From and vet again to give the world my interpretation of the most worthy play, Three 1 Vise Fools.

GEE” LOETZ, '28 Thirty-nim: Fern Kemp Orville Richter Francos Fagan Honor Roll TIIIS page of the Ei.-Pe is dedicated to a small group of students of the Senior Class of 1928 who have distinguished themselves in a scholastic wav. These are the Phi Beta Kappas of LaPorte High School, graduating magna cum laude the upper three per cent of a class of one hundred thirty- five, those who have attained an average of 95 or more for all four years. Any student may do high grade work in one or more subjects, at intervals, or in all subjects for a semester or year, but eventually he will suffer a relapse and his standard of achievement falls. This group represents unfailing industry and application, the reward of which is high marks and high ranking. Miss Fern Kemp came to LaPorte High School from Kingsbury High School at the beginning of her junior year with an excellent record. She adjusted herself to the conditions of this School and continued the high standard of work she had achieved in Kingsbury. She has carried extra work every semester and has been active in extra curricular activities. Her average for the four years is 95.1. Miss Frances Fagan transferred to LaPorte High School from Morton High School of Richmond, Indiana, at the beginning of her senior year. Miss Fagan was given a scholarship pin at the end of her junior year by the Morton High School for attaining seven “AV in her academic work, “A” being the highest mark issued. Her average for the four years is 95. Orville Richter is the only student on the Senior Honor Roll who has spent his four years in LaPorte High School. In addition to the high standard of work he has maintained, Orville was active on the Hi-Times Staff last year and represented LaPorte High School in the state commercial contest in 1926. He has been recommended by the principal for a “two year” scholarship at the University of Chicago. His average for the four years is 95.3. xnrmxnm nxrrrrrrixr Forty Forty-one Tom Boyd Alfred Pease William Dmltras Harold Wegner President Vicc-Presklent Secretary’ Treasurer Junior Class History H h H AVING crossed the Ocean of Junior High School, we anchored in Freshman Bay. We all went ashore and, knowing that we needed leaders, elected Harold Wegner as President for that year; and chose Paul LeResche, Vice-President, with Ethel Pease as Secretary-Treasurer. We prospered in Freshman Settlement but most of us wished to move farther westward. We crossed the mountains and settled on their farther side. Here again we chose our officers, John Hart, President; A1 Pease, Vice-President, and John Shrock, Secretary-Treasurer. We stayed at Fort Sophomore many months, but seeing that many of our people were looking with longing eyes at the fertile lands still farther west, we changed our homes again. We discovered plain, high ground on each side of a mighty river, and immediately settled on the nearer side, not wishing to attempt to cross it. This time we chose the name “Junior Colony” for our settlement, and elected Tom Boyd, President; A1 Pease, Vice-President; Bill Dmitras, Secretary, and Harold Wegner, Treasurer. Being well pleased with our work, we decided to have a Thanksgiving Dance, to which we invited people from all the settle- ments around us. In the wars with other settlers our men were nearly always victorious. I'lTm 11 i i i i i n 111 i r i i Tin itti ■� i-rrm-m-n Forty-two To entertain our people we gave a play, The Cinderella Man. We also feasted the Senior Colonists quite royally at the Junior Prom. We were all very proud to find that on the Honor Roll, which is signed by the King, there were representatives of our brave colonists. Although we have Imd much merry-making, we are again ready to move. Almost all wish to go as far west as possible—and. we have already chosen the name for our new village.

We had sailed from the guidance of the country of our earlier days. Fearing the perils in this strange, new land, we arrived on shore and began work immediately. We received little help from the Upperclassmen Indians; more often they caused us trouble, hut we had to endure it the best we could. After our work was under way, we elected Hoy Sonncborn for the first Governor of our Colony, with Robert Heider and Hazel Wegner as his Lieutenants. After the first eighteen weeks of hard work, a new colony joined us. In the athletic contests, we made a fine showing, but were overcome by the older members of the colony. Then came the bright summer; our hardships were over, and the Freshmen of the Class of ’.‘JO were no more. We returned to our work the next autumn and found the going much easier. The Indians offered us some good advice which helped us along. We enjoyed ourselves at the expense of the new crew which had entered that autumn. Ernest Pease was elected as our new Governor with Roy Sonncborn and Florence Palm as capable assistants. We furnished some good material for the football and basketball squads. Several members made the first teams. Other members of the class joined the band or the glee club. Still others honored our class by appearing in the play, The Maid and the Middy. Fifty r“ After the mid-year, the interclass basketball tournament was held. The Sophomores easily defeated the Freshmen, but were, in turn, defeated by the Seniors in a i lose game. We are now working diligently, looking forward to next year whe n we shall be Juniors. During our Junior and Senior years we hope to develop into the strongest and most worthy class that has ever cs tablished itself upon new territory.

As we scurried through the hallways we were targets for many depreci- ating looks, which classed us as the lowest order of Neophytes that had ever entered the doors of this institution of higher learning. After several weeks we elected Robert Henoch as President of our class, to be assisted by the Vice-President, Walter Blanda, and the Secretary-Treasurer, Henry Ross. Inasmuch as our scholastic and athletic records compared favorably with other classes we have high hopes that we may attain as high an order of intelligence as that of other Freshmen Classes.

Leitzman, the brain and power behind all LaPortc High School athletic teams, is to be commended this year more than any year before for trying to keep the Slicer standard in its deserving place. Handicapped by having an over-abundance of green material, his job was not to be envied, but our Coach again showed himself equal to meeting great tasks. He went ahead working quietly, ignoring the “razzing,” and not only developed good teams, but also built up character in his boys. Perhaps his greatest work was the sponsoring of the interclass sports of every kind, in which hundreds of boys participated who would have otherwise never received the benefit of this training. Sixty-three Coach Krnest G. Walker Coach A. T. Krider In his role as Assistant Coach, Coach Ernest G. Walker was brought in contact with every boy who reported for athletic teams. They found in him a man well worth knowing and his good fellowship made him better able to coach the different teams. Because of two years of experience in LaPorte he was well able to take charge of minor sports and to assist Coach Leitzman in the major sports. We have with us this year a new addition to our coaching staff, Mr. A. T. Krider, a graduate of Wabash, who enthusiastically began to work as soon as he arrived. He took charge of nearly all intra-mural sports and also assisted Coach Lcitzman. He has the ability to “put over” what he wishes to say to the boys. 3lxty-four Football The 1927 football season could not be called a success as far as games won and lost is concerned, for the Slicers bowed to six teams during the gridiron season. It might be said, however, that these teams were the strongest in Indiana. But considering the number of men who received experience, the season could not be termed wholly unsuccessful. Coach Lcitz- man did not have a single letter man to work with from last year, but next, year he will have an abundance of material, for thirteen letter men will be left over. The Orange and Black warriors scored wins over Rochester, Lowell and Garrett. The teams by whom they were bested were ITammond, Froebel, Mishawaka, South Bend, Plymouth and Michigan City. Sixty-flvo rmii umiTi Weller could always be depended upon to get through and make tackles. “Chuck” played a wonderful game against South Bend when he rolled up a total of fifteen tackles. GLASSMAN JUNIOR GUARD Glassman had a bull dog determination to stop the man who had the ball, and this determination won him a place on the team. FREDRICKSON JUNIOR END Sixty-six Lee was a hard tackier who possessed a great amount of fighting spirit. 1 H MENCER SENIOR TACKLE Mcncer came to us all the wav from I’tah. He learned to stick straight through the line, and this was probably a factor in his winning the Coach’s “honor sweater” which was given to the fellow who made the most tackles. GUYER SENIOR HALFBACK Dale was a fellow who could always be depended upon, and for this reason played in more than one position during the season. Guver did the hulk of the punting. WEGNER JUNIOR CENTER Wegner, having been kept out because of an injured knee, came to the squad in the middle of the season. He learned to like football and his game showed it. Sixty-seven LE RESCHE JUNIOR ENI) LcRcschc liked football and wanted to earn a sweater. Although he was unable to play the first part of the season, he soon won a place on the team. GIERKE JUNIOR GUARD Gierke was small but scrappy, and played in most of the Varsity games. He and Glassman should make a pair of good working guards for next year. ROYD JUNIOR HALFBACK Tom was one of the most aggressive backs on the team, and is remembered because of his off-tackle drives. Boyd had the determination to “go places” whenever he got the ball. S’xty-elght PURCELL JUNIOR GUARD Purcell was a fellow who believed in action more than words. We should hear more of him next year. STEPANICK JUNIOR TACKLE Mike was a splendid defensive tackle and could take and give a great deal of punishment. He was given a place on the second all-state team. PEASE JUNIOR FULLBACK A1 went through the season with injuries but was able to pick up the work where Serafin stopped. Pease will he a valuable man both on offense and defense next year. Slxty-nlno RAMP JUNIOR END Ramp was brought before the public eye in the Frocbel game. His “never- sav-die” spirit won him a place on the team. He will be with us next year. i SONNEBORN SOPHOMORE QUARTERBACK “Sonny” was a good field general and made up in aggressiveness what he lacked in size. He was a good passer and a clever end-runner. “Sonny” proved his worth early in the season. WEIDNER JUNIOR HALFBACK Weidner was a fast, shifty back with the ability to run the ends and off- tackle. He also became a good pass receiver. Seventy SERAFIN SENIOR FULLBACK This was Joe’s first year in Varsity football. He developed into a great line plunger and was a veritable stone wall on defensive. His fighting qualities made him a good fullback. PEASE SOPHOMORE HALFBACK Ernie had the determination to make yards after he was tackled, and always carried the fight to the opponents' territory. He was also a good defensive back. BOKLUND SENIOR END Boklund’s height was an asset which enabled him to become a good forward- pass catcher. He showed his metal in the Mishawaka game. Seventy-one u H HANDLEY SENIOR GUARD “l’oo Wee” won a place on the regular team through his hard work and his ambition to be a letter man. This was his first and last year of high school football. BIRD SENIOR HALFBACK Johnny was the most consistent open field runner, and was always ready to go. Bird was an example of the old maxim, “Little but mighty.” GARRISON SENIOR QUARTERBACK Garrison was a good heady player and an accurate passer. He will he remembered for his coolness under fire. Garrison was chosen first string quarterback on the All-Conference Team. mm it i-rrri riinn rmrmri 11 n Seventy-two Rochester 13 SEPTEMBER IT LaPorte 10 The LaPorte Slicers won their first game of the year by defeating Rochester 19-13 under a scorching sun. LaPorte played a close game most of the time, and only three forward passes were attempted. Very little punting was done by the Slicers who were content to carry the ball on line plunges. Although there was nothing spectacular in this game, it served to show the possible powers of the Orange and Rlack gridders. Hammond 31 SEPTEMBER 24 LaPorte 0 Playing against a much heavier, faster team than that of the first game, the Slicers went down to defeat at the hands of Hammond, 31-0. Roth the defense and offense of LaPorte were ragged, and the first half ended with the “lop-sided” score of 25-0. Hammond was able to run up this score because of the bad punting and inability of the Orange and Black warriors to stop the off-tackle drive of the Hammond eleven. However, in the last half we held Hammond about even, and were scored on for only one touchdown, and that on a blocked punt. Lowell 0 OCTOBER 1 LaPorte 7 Steadily hammering away at the line, now and then taking a vicious slash off tackle, the Slicers played a vastly improved brand of ball to beat Lowell 7-0. The team played a conservative game after the only touchdown, and forced Lowell to carry the ball. Lowell found it difficult to pierce LaPorte’s forward wall, and therefore was forced into losing the punting duel. Froebel 46 OCTOBER 2 LaPorte 0 The formidable Froebel eleven ran rough-shod over the Slicers to make seven touchdowns and a 46-0 victory. Although outscored the LaPorte crew was never out-fought and although outclassed in offense its defense was strong. A new man broke into the limelight during this game. Earl Ramp, a dark horse, as end was responsible for breaking up many of Froebel’s plays. Garrett 0 OCTOBER 15 LaPorte 13 In an uninteresting game the Slicers defeated Garrett 13-0. Straight foot- ball tactics were employed throughout the whole game. The only thrill was a 44-yard dash furnished by Tom Boyd. Nearly every man in a football suit saw action in this game, which was a factor in causing the game to become slow. Lack of power was decidedly outstanding. Seventy-three OCTOBER 22 LaPorte 6 ■ Michigan City 18 Although playing a much superior brand of ball than that of the preceding game, the Slicers did not play quite well enough to beat the Red Devils, and therefore dropped the most important game of the season 18-6. Guyer’s punts were exceptionally good in this game as to distance, but were usually returned the entire distance by Michigan City’s shifty backs. LaPorte’s only touchdown was scored on a smash by Boyd from the 10-yard stripe. Mishawaka 82 OCTOBER 29 LaPorte 0 For the first three quarters Mishawaka’s fast traveling, hard hitting backs were held under control by LaPorte’s forward wall, but in the last period they ran wild and broke through for three touchdowns. Doll, Mishawaka’s star halfback, was responsible for three of his team’s five touchdowns. Plymouth 0 NOVEMBER 5 LaPorte 0 Plymouth's 1927 homecoming was a complete success as far as Plymouth was concerned, for the LaPorte Slicers came out on the short end of a 6-0 score at Plymouth. The Red Jackets made a touchdown in the first few minutes of play, and it was the only score made throughout the game. The game was played in bitterly cold weather. South Bend 88 NOVEMBER 12 LaPorte 6 The South Bend Bears emerged victorious over the fighting Slicers, but nevertheless the Orange and Black warriors looked glorious in their lowly role, for it was a stubborn, fighting bunch of Slicers who went down to honor- able defeat. The two teams battled on nearly even terms for the first half. The first touchdown of the game was made bv Stepanick on a trick play. Seventy-four Basketball An entirely new system of basketball was used by Coach Leitzman this year. An “A”, “B” and “C” team style, although not entirely satisfactory, met with a fair amount of success considering that it had never been tried before in La Porte. A greater number of boys saw action in games as a result of this system. The season itself was quite unsuccessful for the Slicers, because the team won only six games and suffered fourteen losses. The Coach had a hard task trying to find a combination of five boys who could be molded into a good basketball team. The season ended with a lanky Senior five working together, and another combination of five underclassmen. The two victories over Michigan City and the winning of the Sectional Tourney were the high spots of the season. Seventy-five A” TEAM Russell Garrison (Captain). George Boklund, William Dmltras, Lee FYcdrickson, Victor Griewank, Ernest Pease, Holland Purcell. Harold Wegner, Joseph Serafln, John Walker. Seventy-six SENIOR FORWARD GARRISON (Captain) “Russ” was a fast, clever dribbler, and this, coupled with bis deadly basket- eye, made him a valuable cog in the Sheers’ offense. He did commendable work in the Michigan City games, and it was largely due to his basket- shooting that the game was pulled from the fire. BOKLUND SENIOR CENTER Bokluud, tall, rangy and fast, made an exceptionally good pivot man. This was George’s first year on the team and he truly deserved his position on the Varsity. His height, a thing which he took advantage of, made him a good “under-basket” man. Hoklund could usually be depended upon to get the tip. DMITRAS JUNIOR GUARD Bill was a clever floor man and a good dribbler; he bad one of the greatest, characteristics a coach is looking for—dependability. Dmitras was a good man to start the offense and should be of invaluable aid to the team next year. FREDERICKSON JUNIOR GUARD Although listed as a guard, Lee played every position on the floor. Pos- sessed with an uncanny ability to follow the ball, he was continually breaking up the opposing offense and getting control of the ball. Lee’s fight was evident in every game, and that together with his dependability made him one of the first ten. GRIEWANK SENIOR GUARD “Vic’s” great height made him an ideal guard. Very few men could shoot quickly enough to get the ball out of the reach of Griewank’s hands. He also jumped center, and here proved bis worth as a good floor man. PEASE SOPHOMORE FORWARD Spirit headed the list of Ernie’s virtues on the basketball floor. Pease could always develop a brighter spirit in the game when things looked dull for us. He played the position of forward but did not shoot very often. There were many striving for the position of forward; Ernie worked himself up, and then stayed there. Seventy- PURCELL JUNIOR GUARD “Percy” played with the Varsity last year, and was a valuable man at defense this year. Purcell was a quiet man who went about doing his best for his team. We are glad that “Percy” will be with us next year. WEGNER JUNIOR FORWARD Wegner, one of our best players for the year, was seriously handicapped by an injured knee. Great things were expected from Harold because we knew he could execute them. As it was, however, he was able to play in only a few games. Wegner could always be depended upon in a good tight, and he usually managed to come through with a few buckets. We’ll hear more of Harold next year. SERAFIN SENIOR GUARD Joe was our pillar of defense under the enemy’s basket. Serafin fought hard for this position, and was given the place in about the middle of the season. Joe was a born tighter and always had his man under control. His playing was confined to the defensive and rarely ventured into the offensive. This is his last year in High School. WALKER SENIOR FORWARD Johnny was one of the best shots in the Conference and his big asset was his ability to make points when his team needed them. Walker’s height made him a good defensive man; this same feature made him an excellent “follow-up” man. Walker was named as forward on the “All Regional Team” picked by the Gary Post-Tribune.

Seventy-nine LaPorte 20 NOVEMBER 23 Rochester 39 The Slicers dropped the first game of the season to the Rochester five. Loose officiating allowed the game to get beyond control, and it ended more like a football game than basketball. Fewer men played in this game than participated In the Battle of the Marne, a battle which this game greatly resembled. LaPorte 22 DECEMBER 2 Froebel 29 Somewhat handicapped by vaccination. LaPorte lost a slow, uneven game to the Froebel Blue Devils. The Slicers were in the front throughout nearly the whole game, but in the last ten minutes Froebel came through with several baskets and won the game. LaPorte 19 DECEMBER 6 Valparaiso 27 The Bounding Brownies nosed out the Slicers by a 27-19 score in the dedication game of Valpo's new $100,000 gym. A semi-stall game was employed by the Slicers throughout; this was the reason for the low score of the game, for the Brownies were content to form their defense and wait for La Porte to come to them. LaPorte 20 DECEMBER 9 Elkhart 33 The Slicers set a terrific pace at first and were well on their way to victory when somehow the team became disorganized for a few minutes. Elkhart took advantage of this, and piled up a lead which the Slicers tried in vain to overcome. The Blue and White netters used a long-shot game most of the time, the Slicers dribbling. Coach Leitzman was not on the scene of battle, being ill. LaPorie 25 DECEMBER 16 Horace Mann 30 LaPorte tasted another bitter defeat at the hands of Keith Crown’s proteges. The game was played in Horace Mann’s new gym. and both teams had trouble keeping their feet as a result of the slippery fioor. The Horsemen possessed a great deal of spirit, and always came back with a punch when LaPorte forged ahead. The closing minutes were hard fought as both teams struggled for supremacy. LaPorte 33 DECEMBER 22 Hammond 26 The Slicers again ended the old year right, and incidentally won their first Con- ference game when they slipped Hammond the worst end of a 33-28 score. The LaPorte net-men were not to be denied, and showed some of the old fighting spirit which had been lacking all year. This game was a hard fought battle, and the Slicers deserve much credit for fighting to keep the lead they obtained in the first half. LaPorte 31 JANUARY 6 Emerson 60 A fast breaking offense centering about Altenh ff. the Norsemen's running guard, was too much for the Slicers, and they started the new year all wrong, with a 60-31 defeat. The ball was in the basket most of the time as the score indicates. Both teams used a strong five-man defense. LaPorte 32 JANUARY 7 Horace Mann 39 LaPorte again dropped a game to the fighting Horsemen in a struggle that was not without its thrills. The Slicers playing a sluggish brand cf ball in the first half, seemed unable to locate the basket, and the half ended with the score 23-11 against them. Nevertheless they came back with a bang. The rally was killed, however, with about five minutes to go, because of an injury to LaPorte’s pivot man. L Eighty LaPorte 39 JANUARY 13 Plymouth 40 Mere words are insufficient to describe the colorful struggle that took place when the Slicers invaded the home of the Plymouth Red Jackets. The game was the closest, of the year, and the teams were tied most of the time. The game ended with the lanky Slicers batting the ball vainly in the direction of the hoop unable to get the much needed basket which would have put them on top. I a Porte 24 JANUARY 24 Goshen 64 The Redskins of Goshen were extremely warm the night they met the LaPorte squad. The much touted Williams and Kyle led their team’s attack sinking baskets from every spot on the floor. The Slicers never had a chance, the score being tied only once, and then Just a few minutes after the start of the game. Goshen took advantage of the disorganization of the Slicers, and tried to rub it in as hard as they could. LaPorte 29 JANUARY 20 Michigan City 26 Although these two teams were the under dogs in the Northern Indiana Conference, a packed gym greeted their appearance that night. The Slicers outfought their oppon- ents from beginning to end, being in the lead thirty out of the forty minutes of play. Russ Garrison celebrated his birthday anniversary by dropping in live baskets and six free throws making over half of the Slicers’ points. LaPorte 54 JANUARY 21 Garrett 24 The LaPorte netters romped over Garrett with a score of 54-24 in a one-sided game. Meeting little opposition, except at moments few and far between, the Slicers were able to score almost at will. Coach Leitzman used many substitutes, and almost every man had a couple of baskets to his credit. I aPorte 33 JANUARY 27 South Bend 66 LaPorte was outplayed and outwitted in every department of the game. From the very start the Slicers were unable to get going.” The Bruins took advantage of our poor defense, and made baskets from every angle of the floor, always matching Sheer baskets with two of their own. Walker established a new record when he dropped in twelve out of fifteen charity tosses in this one game. LaPorte 40 FEBRUARY 3 Valparaiso 30 The Bounding Brownies bounced into I aPorte. but there was no rebound when they hit the Fighting Slicers. for the Slicers took much of their confidence out of them when they gave them the low end of the 40-30 score. This game was a big upset in the Northern Indiana Conference, because Valpo had been setting a fast pace, and no dopester had picked the lowly I aPorte crew to win. LaPorte 26 FEBRUARY 4 Nappanee 38 After the exhibition of good basketball playing the night before, the Slicers were quite a disappointment when they met the hard fighting Nappanee quintet. Nappanee enjoyed a comfortable lead in the first half, but LaPorte clearly outplayed and out- scored them in the second half. However, the lead was too great for the Slicers to cut down. Elghty-one !■■■■ i i i' uti rrm i i n it n f T-f n LaPorte 27 FEBRUARY 10 Mishawaka 40 Featuring a deadly delayed offense with DeCook. veteran center, as the keystone man, Mishawaka doled out another defeat to LaPorte. The Slicers played a losing style of basketball, and the Cavemen, once ahead, had things pretty much their own way. and forced their opponents to play their own style of basketball. LaPorte could not seem to locate the basket, while the under-basket shots of Mishawaka were seldom missed. LaPorte 27 FEBRUARY 11 South Bend 23 Again the Orange and Black net artists upset the dope bucket in the Northern Indiana basketball circles by snatching a victory from the South Bend five. The Bruins figured there would be little opposition after the crushing defeat they had inflicted on the Slicers earlier in the season, but they were disillusioned after the first few minutes of play, and from then on were clearly outplayed. The visitors seemed to llnd it hard to pierce the LaPorte defense. LaPorte 23 FEBRUARY 17 Whiting 30 The last scheduled home game of the season was marked by a defeat, when the scrappy Whiting bunch won after a hard game. The Slicers were hitting the basket with little success. Their opponents did not display wonderful playing, but seemed to gauge the basket better than LaPorte. LaPorte 18 FEBRUARY 24 East Chicago 34 The “topnotchers” of the Conference, although meeting more opposition than they expected, still managed to win over LaPorte. After the score of the first half, which ended 18-15, the East Chicago team settled down and controlled the ball, allowing the Slicers only three points in the second half. The Senators displayed teamwork and a good eye for the bnsket. LaPorte 41 FEBRUARY 25 Michigan City 25 The Slicers ran rough-shod over Michigan City in the final contest of the season. The Orange and Black netters terminated their ,27-’2S basketball season by over- whelmingly defeating the Red Devils. The’ Slicers were supreme at all times during the game, and had collected 16 points before Michigan City even scored. rra , q err Eighty-two Sectional Tournament Oik minute to play, the score, Michigan City 17, LaPorte 10! Over fifteen hundred wild-eyed fans—gone wild with the intensity of the moment—hats Hying, balloons bursting in air and then—then, Ernie Pease dribbled under for a basket and was fouled. As the pandemonium reigned in the gymnasium, Ernie got two shots and made one of them; then, a little later, another point was added by Boklund. This made the score 20-17 in La Porte’s favor. No, my worthy readers, this is not a page from an old fairy story, but relates what actually happened in the Sectional Tournament. This Tourney was held for the fourth consecutive year in LaPorte’s gymnasium. The Sliccrs and Michigan City did not meet in the finals, however, as in the preceding years. The drawings brought them together in the semi-finals. The Sliccrs won the right to meet the Red Devils bv winning over Union Mills 50-14, and defeating Union Township 33-14. The LaPorte boys easily won the finals from West- ville with a 29-14 score. Regional Tournament Having won the right to play in the Gary Regional by defeating Michigan City, the Sliccrs played true to form when they disposed of Goodland in the first game 30-21. Although LaPorte was always in the lead, the Goodland five threatened at all times, and the Sliccrs were forced to use a great deal of much needed energy to win. It was a different story, however, when the Sliccrs met the confident East Chicago five to whom defeat was unknown for their whole season. The Senators jumped into the lead at the first whistle, and held it throughout the game. The Sliccrs were subdued, and except for a flash—once by Garrison and at another time by Walker—scarcely seemed able to make a point. So, again this year we were kept from going to the State Tournament. The score 30-14 does not give the Sliccrs the credit they should receive, for they went down to defeat fighting against an unusually successful basketball team. IfiJ Eighty-throe Baseball Only three regulars, Stepanik, Dmitrus and Garrison, remained from last year’s squad. Coach Walker’s weeding process was slow but effective and the first nine proved to be a very efficient machine. Dmitras was the first string hurler with Joe Gicrkey ready to alternate on the mound. M. Stepanik was wholly on the receiving end. Russ Garrison held down first base. Don Keenan, second, with Hcider and Ford alternating at third. “Hutch” Stepanik, the best hitter on the squad, easily won his position at short. In the outfield Galuck and Obbie Gierke watched the right field, with Raker and Serafin at left and Malysiak and Dzuibkaweiz in center. The first few games, although ragged in spots, showed coming power. This raggedness may be partially explained by the severe cold weather, weather which was not at all suitable for playing a good ball game.

Men who won first and second places in this meet were privileged to represent their schools at Indianapolis. Three LaPortc men went to the state meet. These three men were George Krenzke in the half mile, Norris Ward in the low hurdles, and Paul LeResche in the high jump. At the State, George Krenzke took third place in his section of the half mile. 1928 Only three letter men were left this year. Nevertheless a great number of eager aspirants came out for places on the team. Coach Leitzman juggled his men around until he had some semblance of a track team ready for the first Eighty-five w meet with Plymouth. But when April 2nd arrived the “weather man” called a halt. It snowed all day and the meet was necessarily called off. The next meet was with Elkhart on April 14th, but again the weather would not permit. The first appearance of the LaPorte thinlv-clads was in the annual Tri- angular Meet held at LaPorte. La Porte’s team walked off with the meet. Michigan City did not “choose to run.” The score was: LaPorte 00, Mish- awaka 83. Dmitras, Wickersham, Xordvke, Walker, and Wilhelm each won first places, while Garrison, Gierke and Boklund tied for first. In the big Invitational Meet held at LaPorte, the Slicers won a hard fought, victory, making 30 points. Plymouth was a close second with 35. Rochester, Michigan City, and Mishawaka were the other schools entered. Many Kiwanis Field records were broken. The remaining schedule included the Conference Meet on May 5th, the Sectional Meet at Gary, May 12th, and the State Meet for those who placed at the Sectional. I n t � n -ri-ni i m n mini i-i-i iriiiiiiiiiiiirminiiimiiiiiiinr RiKhty-Hlx Wrestling LaPorte’s ’28 season of wrestling was unusually successful. The majority of last year’s Varsity was still in school, and a great number of promising prospects turned into very efficient grapplers. There were eight, major meets on the schedule, four of which the Sliccrs won. They won both times at Mich- igan City, the one meet with Frocbel, and split even in the contests with South Bend. They lost to Elkhart both times, and to Wabash. “Mike” Stepanik was elected Captain, and what a captain he did make! Only one man was able to win from “Mike” during this season, and this defeat was evened when Stepanik beat him at the State. This husky Slicer is the only LaPortean to emerge from a contest a state champion. At the Conference meet Stepanik, Weller, Hupp, Vandewalker, Helmick and Burg placed; at the State, Stepanik. All in all it was a successful episode. Top Row—Stepanik, .1. Bowell, B. Bo well. Mulyxluk. Helmick. Bottom Row- Burg. Hupp. Larnberson, Bennls.

Although we had an unusually strong team, it was given only one opportunity to play and that with Emerson, the strongest team in the Conference. The score was .‘3 to .'3, Treadway, Aim and Hall collecting the points. At Gary, Boklund and Petering both placed in the tournament. The men this year who have turned out for the sport are: Ebert, Sheriff, Day, Petering, Hubner and Boklund (Captain). Games were arranged with Emerson, Elkhart, South Bend, Michigan City, and Valparaiso. KiRhty-eight 3 Golf 'rho first year of golf was very successful from the viewpoint of experience in undertaking a new sport. Of the eleven candidates who reported a team of four was chosen by the use of the elimination method. These four were the inimitable “Skectcr” Chroback as Captain. Howard Parker, Wilbur Ifkow- itsch and Robert Savage. Matches were scheduled with Michigan City, South Bend and Valparaiso. Of these matches the Slicers lost both meets with South Bend and one from Valparaiso. Michigan City cancelled their meets because of ineligibility. In the meet at Gary, Ifkowitsch and Parker both reached the semi-finals. This meet was the Sectional. The method used last year was employed again this year in the selection of the men for the team. Those who came out for this sport were: W. Ifkow- itsch, Haggerty, Soderquist, Cline, Harris, W. Harrow, Marhanka, and A. Ifkowitsch. Harris, Sodeniulst. Ifkowitsch. Haggerty, Cline, V. Harrow, Marhanka. and A. Ifkowitsch. Eighty-nine mi Interclass Sports Interclass sports again played a prominent part in the athletic program of the School. These sports perform a two-fold duty. They build up material, which is an important factor in maintaining athletic teams of high standard, and also create a spirited interest. The boys who took part in these games would have otherwise never had the opportunity to participate in the sports. The first interclass sport to receive consideration this year was basketball. In the elimination games, the Seniors were victorious over the Juniors in a hotly contested battle; the Sophomores easily triumphed over the Freshmen. In the final game the Seniors met much unexpected resistance from the second year men and the game was a hectic struggle throughout. The lanky Seniors, however, won out, and managed to keep up the glory of the Senior class. Track, the next on the program of interclass sports, was also won by the Seniors without a great deal of opposition. The Seniors gathered 4-9 points in this meet and the Juniors were second with 29, while the Sophomores came third and the Freshmen fourth. Interclass baseball has not been played at the time of this writing, but will be carried on as soon as the time permits. There will be no interclass football but spring football serves the same purpose in the developing of material. An indoor baseball tournament was also held between the ten different gym classes. A great deal of enthusiasm was displayed and many spectators were present. These games were played at noon. All in all, a better way of looking over prospects for sports could not: be found, and our coaches are to be commended on promoting this activity. Ninety Girls’ Athletics M is.s Edith Olson, who has been Coach of the girls in La Porte High School for four years, has clone extensive work in the girls’ athletic department.. Miss Olson not only taught the rules of the various games and sports, but also stressed the importance of the exercise. Every girl in High School has the opportunity to participate in the athletic program, either during the regular gym classes held during the week or in the Coaching ('lass. The latter proved itself the most popular among the girls because the entire hour is devoted to the sport which is in season. Early this fall Miss Olson organized hockey teams; these teams were com- posed of the four classes. After the hockey season was in full swing, the teams elected their captains. A tournament was scheduled but the weather did not permit the contests to be played. The Seniors did exceptionally good work on the field this year; this was their fourth year on the hockey ground. During the winter the girls were absorbed in basketball. Class teams were also organized in this sport and captains chosen by the girls. As in the past years, a round robin tourney was held; the Sophomores displayed very good teamwork, and the Freshmen show promise of a fast team next year. The final game was played between the Juniors and the Seniors. Martha Tullunt. Esther Fllcklnger, Lucille Grlng.

Board of Control The Board of Control was organized in 1925 for the purpose of spending all the money earned through the various activities of LaPorte High School and also for the purpose of providing funds for the carrying on of all High School activities which do not support themselves. This Board is composed of six teachers, the High School Principal, and the Presidents of the Junior and Senior classes. The teachers who serve on the Board are appointed by the Principal at the beginning of each school year. This organization has helped in the fencing of Kiwanis Field to the extent of $1.100. It has also helped to the extent of $2,500 in the construction of field houses on that field. No money from taxation is spent by the Board of Control, but the money used by them is that which is earned by such High School activities as athletics and plays. The Board of Control has at times been severely critized by outsiders who do not realize how hard it is to regulate High School finances. However, the Board is to be commended for the way it has made the various non-supporting activities of the High School possible. NIm-ty-seven fil q H Top Row—Philip Childs, Haskell Francis.

Debate The local Debate Teams participated in three debates this year with East Chicago, February 14th; Hammond, February 28th, and with Michigan City on March 24th. The first debate was won by both teams. The others were lost bv a close margin. The members of the Affiinative Team were Alice Collins, first speaker; Philip Childs, second speaker, and Daniel Lewis, third speaker. The members of the Negative Team were Esther Voss, first speaker; Donald Wilhelm, second speaker, and Huron Henderson, third speaker. At the end of the session LaPorte held second place in the League. The excellent work done by the teams is largely due to Miss Eva Thompson, the Coach, whose guidance throughout the season is greatly appreciated by each member of the teams. Esther Voss represented LaPorte in the Discussion League, and lost to Michigan City. Daniel Lewis represented LaPorte in the Oratorical Contest, and lost to West ville.

In 1925, the year the Club was organized, .34 girls enrolled and 17, or 50 per cent, finished. In 1920, 4.3 enrolled and .34, or 80 per cent, finished their work. In 1927, 59 girls enrolled, and 54, or 90 per cent, finished their work. The girls in High School who received honors are as follows: Lyla Provolt—Trip to State Fair School as reward for outstanding work for three years. Marv Louise Decker—(First prize in four year sewing)—Trip to Purdue. Alice Collins—(Second prizc)--$5.00. In third year sewing the following awards were made: Ruth Schultz—(First prize)—Trip to Purdue. Bernice Ehmke—(Third prize)—$4.00. Adeline Spier—(Fifth prize)—$2.00. In second year sewing the following awards were made: Helen Richter—(Second prize)— $5.00. Lucy McCaskel—(Fifth prize)—$2.00. In first year sewing Jeanette Slosarz placed fifth.

Junior Red Cross Council In the second semester of this year, a Junior lied Cross Council was organized for the purpose of fostering a spirit of “service” in the Higli School. At a general election by the student body, the following members were chosen to represent each class: 12A—Martha Tallant, Daniel Lewis. 12B—Ethel Pease, Milo Glassman. 11A Elaine Kenna, Earl Ramp. 1111—Hazel Wegner, Robert Heider. 10A-—-Florence Palm, Ren Bortz. 10B-—-Virginia Brown, Harley Bair. 9A—Marjorie LeResche, Wesley Ross. OB—Maxine Ray, William Duke. Fern Kemp was chosen by the faculty committee as stenographer. Tlu work of organization began with the adoption of a constitution and the election of officers with Ben Bortz as President. Marjorie LeResche as Vice-President, Florence Palm as Secretary, and Earl Ramp as Treasurer. Delegates attended the two meetings of the Junior Red Cross Council, held at LaPorte February 11th, and at Kingsbury April ‘21st. Various plans have been made for the coming year while the principal work of this year has been that of organization. The faculty committee is composed of Miss Andrew, Miss Olson and Miss Johnson, who takes the place of Miss Hodshire on the committee. They act as advisors to the important standing committees of the Council. One Hundred One 4 h H H W H Mrs. Vawter Mr. Wesler NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Hubert Davis represented La Porte in the third National High School Orchestra which assembled in Chicago to play for the National Supervisors Conference. Students came from thirty-seven different states to play in the Orchestra, which comprised three hundred members and was under the direction of Walter Damrosch, Frederick Stock, Howard Hanson, and Joseph Muddy. NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS Thelma Blaney, Donald McCarty, Elvin Shaw, and Earl Petering repre- sented LuPorte in the National High School Chorus. As vocal music com- prises the major part of public school music, several leaders in public school music decided to show the possibilities for beautiful choral effects with high school students. Consequently, they assembled a chorus of three hundred voices from all parts of the United States. The young people memorized their parts, assembled in Chicago for five days of strenuous training under Doctor Dunn, and the beautiful tone quality, enunciation, and dynamic effects will linger long in the memory of all who heard their beautiful, fresh, young voices sing the difficult program. HIGH SCHOOL ORC HESTRA The Orchestra has improved during the last four years. The instrumenta- tion is better, but several instruments are lacking to make the Orchestra symphonic in form. It will enter the District Rand and Orchestra meet at Elkhart. This means that the material used is selected from a list made by the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music. We feel proud of the fact that our Orchestra is working on the very best type of music and that we are a part of a national movement to place only music of the highest class before students and the public. Mr. Scholes, an English music critic, thinks that the type of orchestra music used in our schools is above reproach. 11 11 i i-n-i nimiiirmm- i' i i rrrrl One Hundred Two THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND Since the holidays the Bund has been rehearsing every «lay. This has appealed to the boys, and their ability to play has increased considerably. At the basketball games this organization showed itself better than before. However, due to the shortage of clarinet players and the doubt of having a baritone player, it was decided not to enter the Band Contest this year. GIRLS’ GLEE CLCB This organization has grown in numbers during the last year and its tone quality and musical intelligence has improved. A glee club is supposed to be a body of select voices, taken from the whole school and from those desiring more serious study than can be given to a mixed group. These arc the qualifications that the Girls’ Glee Club tries to have before it as an ideal. It sang at South Bend last fall, sent representatives to the State High School Chorus at Indianapolis, and had one representative in the First National Chorus assembled in Chicago. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The better an organization does, the more is expected. Up to this time this Club has been able to meet this qualification. More confidence is shown when singing in public. THE CONCERT GLEE CLUB This is an organization of real workers. Love of singing and doing some- thing worth-while has served as an initiative to Ik loyal and reliable. On March 3rd the boys sang over Station YLS in Chicago and many favorable comments were received. At least a dozen different engagements were filled locally. MUSK’ ACHIEVEMENT CONTEST Marguerite Stoel, Jessie Dreiner, and Robert Henoch comprised our team sent to the District Music Achievement Contest.

' One Hundred Six Social Events HIGH SCHOOL MIXER The High School Mixer, sponsored by the Senior Class, proved to be one of ihe most successful “hops” given during the school year. The music was furnished by Berger’s Band, and was well received by the large crowd that was present. Refreshments were sold by members of the Senior Class. Every- one helped to make it a real Mixer. SENIOR SPRING DANCE With the coming of Spring the Seniors put on the annual Senior Spring Dance. Lloyd Cooper’s Band furnished excellent music. The gym was decorated in the class colors, which added a cheerful atmosphere for the merry-makers. Refreshments were served by the Senior Class. THE THANKSGIVING DANCE The Juniors gave their customary Thanksgiving Dance, which proved to Ik- very successful. The gym was attractively decorated in blue and gold, the class colors. Music was furnished by Berger’s Orchestra. As an added attraction, a quartet sang and was well received. JUNIOR PROM The outstanding social event of the year, the Prom, was very successful. The hall was attractively decorated with the colors of both classes, blue and gold. The theme used for the program was a gold mine. The gold decorations helped carry this theme out. Following the delicious dinner the program was begun by the able toastmaster, Harold Wegner. After a trumpet solo by Paul LeResche, short toasts were given by Tom Boyd, Junior Class President, and Harold Handley, President of the Senior Class. Following this Julia Taylor sang, after which Mr. Ludlow gave a short toast. The next number was a piano solo by Ruth Mat , followed by a reading by Irma Anderson, and a toast by Kathryn Barnes. The program was concluded with a vocal solo by Earl Petering and a pleasing toast by Miss Andrew. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. One Hundred Seven Miss Deveda Miss Hazel Miss Pearl Miss Ruth Miss Dorothy Deerhako Brown Young Andrew Hoover Drama Each year do we find excellent dramatic talent “budding out” among the students, as opportunity is given them to act in the various plays of the Public Speaking classes and in the three outstanding dramas of the year, namely, the Junior Play, the Senior Play and the annual Operetta. The Junior Play of this season was a four-act comedy. The Cinderella Man, bv Carpenter. Miss Brown, the capable Junior coach, is to be con- gratulated for developing the cast, some of whom were inexperienced, to the point of such satisfactory presentation of a play, difficult in both content and stage-setting. Miss Andrew and Miss Dunlap ably assisted Miss Brown in the management of properties and stage-craft, respectively. The Gypsy Trail, a three-act comedy by Ilousum was, this year, the Senior Play. The play was a very attractive one because of the unusual touches in the settings. The well-trained and experienced Seniors, in their acting brought honor to themselves and their competent coach, Miss Deerhake. Miss Hoover was an efficient assistant of Miss Deerhake. Because of the work involved in coaching, and unifying the action of a large number of students in chorus work, in speaking parts and in dancing, along with laborious work in costuming and stage-craft, the annual operetta is the most difficult production of the dramatic year. This year’s operetta, The Maid and the Middy. by Stevens and Tracy, was unusually attractive and was excellently and smoothly presented. One llun lrc 1 Eight IQ Senior Class Play The Senior Class presented The Gypxy Trail, by Robert Housum, in the High School Auditorium, May 4. A large and appreciative audience attended the performance. The production was directed by Miss Deveda Deer hake, who was largely responsible for its success. She was assisted by Miss Dorothy Hoover. The cast of characters was: Frank Raymond ........................................ Harold Handley Miss Janet Raymond Martha Tallant John Raymond Wesley Ross Stiles David Mack Frances Raymond Mildred Phillips Edward Andrews Donald Danielson Michael Harland Granzow Mrs. Widdimore Louise Loetz Ellen One Hundred Nine Junior Class Play The Cinderella Man, a four-act comedy by Edward Carpenter, was pre- sented by the Juniors, March 23rd. The plav suggests the world-old fairy tale, but this time the tables are turned. The girl in the case, Marjorie Caner, lives in wealth, while, next door to her, high in an attic room, the Cinderella Man, poor and often times hungry, struggles on his opera which is to bring him fame and fortune. When Marjorie comes across the roofs to bring him Christmas cheer, romance steps in, with a stern father and an irate landlady to complicate matters. The cast worked under the capable direction of Miss Hazel Brown, and interpreted their parts with understanding and feeling. The settings were novel and artistic with the stage committee working untiringly under the assistant director. Miss Ruth Andrew. A special back-drop was painted for the production bv Miss Bernice Dunlap. The cast of characters is as follows: Marjorie Caner .. Elaine Henna Morris Caner. her father D. Roniney Evans, a Lawyer DeVon Laymon Earl Petering Albert Sewall. a composer Anthony Quintard, the Cinderella Man Stanley Goldberg Russell Taylor Walter Nicolls Blodget, butler at the Caners' Celeste. Marjorie’s maid . Albert Ewald Alfred Kessler Helen Swanson Jerry Primrose Elvin Shaw The Great She-Bear, the landlady. Jane Jack The Executive Committee consisted of Philip Childs, Ethel Pease and Jeanette Caudle. Foster Good, Edwina Thatcher, The Stage Committee consisted of Wilbur Ifkowltsch, Robert Punsky, Ruth Andrew, Helen Jones. Julia Taylor. Vincent Luhr, and Russell Luebker. “The Maid and the Middy” The Maul and the Middy. n musical comedy, was presented by the High School Glee Clubs on Friday, December 9, 1927, with Mrs. Lola Yawter directing.

Miss Bernice Dunlan Makeup Miss Ruth Andrew and Mrs. Muriel Russell Pianist Elaine Kenna Electrician Harold Handley SYNOPSIS Time—Present. Act I—Grounds or the Lakeville Boat Club. Ac III—Interior of the Club House. The occasion is the annual regatta of the Lakeville Boat Club made gay by Captain Dasher of the l S. S. Dreadnaught and a number of his middies as guests. Among the latter is Billy, who very soon gets into the good graces of Valerie Vane. Billy is charged with a case of abduction against a certain mysterious Anita. Billy tries to defend himself but sentiment is against him. Many complications set in but finally Billy produces the mysterious Anita and he is forgiven, and all, as usual, ends well. The speaking and singing of the principals and chorus respectively deserve much praise.

DC DISPLAYED AT ALL ST1APT SHOPPES 1 One Hundred Thirty-two ••Geo Tom Norm “Bob Cheer Leaders Because of their untiring efforts to keep up the spirit of the fans at all games, and promote a sportsmanlike attitude at all times, the four cheer leaders are to bo highly complimented on their success. The position of cheer leader is not an easy one, as may be realized, as it is necessary for the leader to keep up his pep and spirit at all times, whether he feels like it or not. The moods of the fans must he dealt with also, and when the game looks blackest the cheer leaders must bring the crowd out of the “kinks,” which is sometimes a difficult job. Much credit is due Coach I.eitzman who introduced the new method of keeping up the pep and spirit by clapping. This proved to be very successful, and the fans soon learned to say as much to the team out on the floor with their hands as with their yells. La Porte fans are to be complimented also on their fine spirit and loyalty to the teams: for never once did they lose interest because of some bitter defeat, but instead were on hand as strong as ever at the next game, and many times followed the team for miles to attend the out-of-town games. B some odd turn it developed this year that there was a cheer leader from each class; this gave each class an added interest in yelling. The four leaders can truly at the end of the year feel they have helped to bring about their desired aim to the best of their ability and realize that the lessons in spirit, pep, and good sportsmanship are valuable ones. One Hundred Thirty-three THE CRITIC WHO TURNED A critic who wrote about music and drama For a large metropolitan sheet. And turned out a survey of art's panorama Consistently bright and complete, Came back to his desk from a concert one night And took out his pencil and started to write: A splendid performance was given By the crowd in the orchestra seats: Their coughing was clearer, Their sneezing sineerer, Their whispers were musical treats. The ones who cante late (Which was all but a few). Did some work that was great As they crashed their way through. Their jiggles. And wiggles And sniggles, Were the best that the season has brought. And the various ushers, Attendants and shushers Were wholly outplayed and outfought. In spite of the loud interruptions From people who stood on the stage. The audience rustled Its programs, and jostled To earn, without shirking, its wage. The janitor, tco. whom I wish to commend. Made the pipes bang away from beginning to end. Then the critic retired for a fortnight of re3t, Feeling very much better with this off his chest. Did you ever hear about the Froslt who pinched himself to see If he were dreaming, and thereby awakened himself? There's a catch to this some place, growled the burglar as he tried to open the window. ---------- A PEDESTRIAN'S LAMENT I still recall in days gone by But in this modern age of speed (Alas! It's true no more). It grieves me much to say— That Leap Year came only on years For ns poor souls who drive no cars. Divisible by four. It's Leap Year every day. At one of the recent track meets I overheard a pretty co-ed who said to her boy friend: “Well! Where's your angry farmers? He. being puzzled, merely stuttered, Why-ah-oh-ah-what angry farmers?” and the pretty young thing sweetly parried, I thought you said we Were going to see the CROSS-COUNTRY MEN? YOU HAND ’EM RIGHT BACK—AND SNAPPY. TOOl Dear El-Pe: Last week when 1 blew into Chicago 1 had a nice time with the hotel clerk, who says to me. “How did you get here?” Just blew in with a load of cattle, says I. Where's the rest of 'em? asked he. “Down at the yard. I ain't as particular as they are! Love, hugs and kisses to all members of the Staff. GRUMBLIN' GUS. WELL, WELL. WELL! SO THAT WAS IT? Dear El-Pe: Columbus certainly was some prophet. When he discovered America he shouted: I see dry land! HISTORY HAM. Spring fever is something most of us have all year 'round but use as an excuse once a year. ----------- If all autos in the world were laid out end to end, it would be Sunday afternoon. BY GUM! The gum chewing girl and the gum chewing cow— There is a slight difference, that you'll allow. But, what is the difference? Oh! I have it now! It’s the thoughtful Icok on the face of the cow.
