They have taught me the goodness of God; .My heart is the dungeon of darkness. Where I shut them for breaking a rule; My frown is sufficient correction; My love is the law of the school.” The Children”—Charles M. Dickinson.

P. H. S. citadel a timid, questing band bent on a four year pilgrimage. The High School Mixer marked their admittance into the L. P. II. S. ranks, but not being able to speak in one voice, they chose certain of their number to speak for them, namely, Roy Sonneborn, Robert Hcider, and Hazel Wegner. The wise leadership of these did much toward making us an integral part of the L. P. II. S. ranks. Young, inex- perienced, and ignorant, we valiantly strove together, wrestling with the mighty problems our teachers set before us, and setting at naught the scolTs of those who had advanced only a little ahead of us on the journey. Nine months rolled by, and the first lap of our journey was over. We chose new leaders to represent us: Ernest Pease, Roy Sonneborn and Florence Palm. The third lap of the journey began with a new set of leaders, Robert Punsky, Ernest Pease, Bernice Ribordv and Edna Oman. As we advanced further our problems increased, but greater triumphs were achieved. It happened that dur- ing this period our financial depression led us to produce “Captain Applejack,” a howling success. It was also memorable that we obtained insignia to identify us with the ranks of the L. P. II. S. Looking forward to our fellow members who had almost completed their pilgrimage, we honored them with the Junior Prom. Now we approach the last lap of our pilgrimage. Our journey is almost ended. Under the leadership of Homer Fitzpatrick, Louise Ehercnmann, Ernest Pease, and Muriel Rambo we have weathered many vicissitudes and have many achievements to look back upon. It was now our turn to extend a hand to those who were just beginning on the long journey, so we gave the High School Mixer. At this point in our pilgrimage we presented the play entitled “The Swan.” We have within our ranks poets, musicians, actresses, preachers, statesmen, philosophers, professors, judges, lecturers, physicians, authors, artists and one U. S. President. Do not ask me to specify the which or the whom. Ask me thirty years from now, and perhaps I may be better able to say, for of course they arc still in a state of partial development, and while I can tell you what they arc now, “It doth not yet appear what they shall be.” Wide vistas lie ahead of us as we continue on this journey, yet we cannot but regret to leave behind us all those who have made it possible for us to com- plete this pilgrimage.

Forty-two dlmttnra Henrv Ross Frank Flentye Joanrtte Ortfung Bowon Howell 1’resident Vice-President Secretary Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY One September morning in 1927 the portals of La Porte High School were opened to admit a group of eager boys and girls. They were given plain green caps, the badge of insignificance, but these Freshmen refused to remain insig- nificant. Under the leadership of Bob Henoch, Walt Blanda, and Henry Ross they soon put several feathers in their caps for athletics, band, glee club, and Honor Roll. The next year they put aside their green caps and donned caps of another color, signifying their advance to the Sophomore Class. In this, their second year, they were represented by at least one player on every varsity team ex- cept basketball, and they had several members on the reserve team for that sport. This, combined with the number of names they contributed to the Honor Roll, added still more feathers to their caps. The officers for their Sophomore year were Walt Blanda, Henry Ross, and Harriet Wegner. In their Junior year, they began to show more individuality and more caps of a brighter hue. Led by Henry Ross, Frank Flentye, Jeanette Ordung, and Bowen Bowell, the list of achievements to their credit is long. Five of the varsity basketball ten that fought for LaPorte at the state tourney were Juniors; three members of the football team were Juniors; they were well represented in all minor sports; three members of the debating team were Juniors; in girls? athletics, the Junior girls won the intramural basketball championship. On .March 21 the Juniors presented a rollicking college play entitled “'Flic Poor Nut;” in May they gave a Prom for the graduating Seniors. At the present, their caps resemble nothing less than Indian war bonnets, so bedecked are they with feathers representing honors won. Now the class of 1931 confidently faces the coming year, looking for new records to conquer. Kathleen Goodfellow.

Forty-eight iwpbmttnra Mile Young John Littleton Louise Farghor President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The United States lias her George Washington, South America has her Bolivar, Germany her Bismarck, Italy her Garibaldi, and so on and so on— but never has any high school had a class like that of the Sophomores of La- Portc High for 1930, who arc rapidly establishing high precedence for other classes to follow. To get down to the cold facts that cause us to be such an outstanding class. Sponsors are much responsible for the success of classes, and ours seems to have gained as much benefit from sponsors as any. Miss Seaman and Miss Studebaker, while we were blushing and demure Frosh, and Miss Andrew while we were sneering Sophs, are largely the cause of our good name. Class officers deserve credit for making the name of the class, and we have always been quite fortunate in having good material in the class for such class leaders. The Frosh officers were Robert Berger, president; Robert Bowman, vice-president, and Wallace Hauschild, secretary-treasurer. For our officers this year we chose Edward Young, president; John Littleton, vice-president, and Louise Farghcr, secretary-treasurer, out of a long list of promising candidates. In athletics, the Sophs of this year have progressed far. Not many of us have been absolute varsity material, but the number reporting for athletics shows the proper spirit is in the class. Assembly programs have never failed because sophomores have fallen down on their duty. Dramatic possibilities are strong, and our varied talents show in other fields as well. Honor Rolls of LaPorte High contain the names of as many Sophs as those of any other class. Sophs have been among the first to try out for places on scholastic teams—Debate, Commercial, Latin, Music, etc. Sophs arc spoken of as reverently as Seniors; but next year it will be Juniors who will be included in the same breath with the mighty Seniors, for then we will make up what promises to be one of the greatest Junior classes in local high school history.

Cene Brady Secreta ry - T rea surer HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS With timid glances toward all forms of exits the class of ’33 entered L. P. II. S. Much to our discomfort, we found that on the first day of school, one personage in our ranks had been inveigled into paying one quarter to enter the auditorium for assembly. However, since we heard no rumors of any “Preside” asking where the elevator was, we again took heart, and in a few weeks, knowing how much stronger we would be if we were organized, chose Ralph Newman to pilot us through our first year. The remaining honors fell to Gene Brady and Charles Tag. Not to be outdone in any athletic events, we turned out good material for both football and basketball. The Freshman girls’ basketball team was second only to the Seniors. Where we “Presides” shone most was on the Honor Roll, where we were first, and also contributed many to the Honorable Mention list. Many upper-classmen voted that the Freshman program was the best as- sembly of the first semester. We now look forward to being sophisticated Sophomores. Make way for the class of ’33!

Regardless of time’s changes, I like to think of you as “My Team,” and I wish that all that is pure and good may come your way. Play life’s game as we played our games together, according to the rules, with manly hearts, and without flinching or turning back when duty calls. Lend a sincere, helping hand to your team-mates of life, and your reward will be the contentment of achievement. May I dedicate these pages to those who are pictured here, who gave the very best they had for their school? May I leave a thought with them, that may in time help them play life’s game as a sportsman should? Just a tribute to the brave, To the men who gave and gave, Who have won a goal of honor, Who were sportsmen true and brave. Though records fail to gleam Upon the walls of fame, You know the joy of one Who’s learned to play the game. To you who won the colors And carried on the flight, I wish success to you And guidance in the right. As you live old times anew After years have come to you, Then I hope you will remember Our old sportsman’s creed so true. When you hear the final call, And your armor’s on the wall, Then may it be said by others “It‘s the brightest of them all.” COACH LEITZMAN. COACH LEITZMAN To our Coach is due much credit. Coach Leitzman has been with us for six years, and in that time our athletics have advanced rapidly. During these six years we have not lost a sectional basketball tournament, and have gone to the state tourney twice. We have also been represented by good football, track and baseball teams during these years. Coach has made a friend of every boy with whom he has come in contact, and has not only turned out winning teams hut has also developed character in his athletes. S. H. LEITZMAN COACH KRIDER Mr. Krider has been an assistant on Mr. Leitzman’s coaching staff for the past three yeai’S. His work in developing our athletic teams has been invaluable. Besides his regular coaching activities Mr. Krider has organized and conducted all interclass sports. He also has supervised intramural basketball during the noon hour. A great deal of credit is due Mr. Krider who has helped to develop the spirit of sportsmanship among the boys. COACH WALKER Coach Walker deserves much credit for the ability he displayed in coaching the teams. Mr. Walker possesses the fine qualities of a coach that make him a friend and a companion of the players. He was a very efficient and capable assistant of Mr. Leitzman, parti- cularly in baseball. A.

Wetherow LA PORTE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC BOARD This board was organized in the fall of 1929 to handle all matters pertaining to athletics of the LaPorte High School. It consists of three members: The Superintendent, Coach and Principal. This year the athletics board has contributed approximately $500 to the Extra- Curricular Council and has paid off a $940 debt from last year’s Board of Control. FOOTBALL The 1929 football season was fairly successful with three wins, one tie and four defeats. The season started out well, but injuries and ineligibilities took their toll and seriously handicapped the team throughout the whole season. The Slicers won two conference games, defeating Valparaiso 38-0 and Plym- outh 39-0, and were held to a scoreless tie by Elkhart. A norfconference victory over Lowell was recorded, while the defeats were administered by Goshen, Michi- gan City, Froebel and South Bend. However, it must be remembered that the teams that defeated the Slicers, were among the best in the state. { TOP HOW—Frank Wade. 13urr Hupp. Estel Day. Billy Band.

He was strong both on offense and defense. George broke the tackling record and won the coach’s award for the most tackles when he compiled 79 for the season, getting 20 in one game. Boyd was given honorable mention on the “All-State” team. Be 1.1. Junior Guard Bell was one of the toughest men on the squad, and very few gains went through his position. Although it was his first year on the varsity he played like a veteran. Walt is expected to do big things next year. Boweli. Senior Guard Bowcll was light but had lots of light. He was known for his aggressive- ness and deadly tackling ability. Bill was always alert and played real foot- ball. He will be greatly missed next year. New Sophomore Tackle New was one of the mainstays of our fightin’ line. His weight and natural ability made him a highly respected player among our foes. With his two years of experience, much is expected of “Butter” in his two remaining years. Fi.entye Junior Tackle Flentye, with a year’s experience, played his position well. He was al- ways “on his toes.” With two years of varsity experience Frank ought to “go to town” next year. Mai.ysiak Senior Tackle Malysiak won a place on the varsity by his light and determination. Walt was a hard tackier and played well throughout the season. The squad will feel his loss next season. Hilgendorf Senior Tackle Hilgcndorf was a “Tighter” and was known for his deadly tackling ability. “Dutch” could always be depended upon and played great football, although it was his first year of varsity competition. Ewart End Junior Although this was Ewart’s first year of varsity football, his natural ability and perseverence won him a place on the varsity. Chuck will be back next year. Mansfield Junior End Mansfield started the season playing end but was soon shifted to fullback. In this position he turned in some excellent games, and was feared throughout the conference. Don will be back again next year, and with his experience should play some real football. Pease Senior Halfback Pease’s cleverness and ability combined with his good judgment made him one of the most valuable men on the team both defensively and offensively. He was a fighter and never gave up. Ernie was elected honorary captain at lli end of the season, and for the second successive year won honorable mention on the “All-State” team. Cory Junior Halfback Cory had lots of fight and could always be depended upon both on offense and defense. Myron will be back again next year, and with this year’s experi- ence ought to “go over the top.” Sonnebork Senior Quarterback Sonneborn was a good all-around quarterback and played well throughout the season. His returning of punts and passing were especially good. “Sonny” will be missed next year, as his generalship on the gridiron was above par. Seventy-on® LH s BASKETBALL The call for basketball was sounded immediately after the football season was completed. Any man who participated in football was eligible to try out for basketball. The rest of the candidates were picked from gym class performance. Five letter men answered the call; they were: Young, Pease, Hilgendorf and Boyd, all of whom arc Seniors, and Gnatt who is a Sophomore. Coach S. H. Lcitzman within a few weeks molded a combination of five boys into one of the best basketball teams La Porte High School has ever had. Another factor which added greatly to the success of the team was the addition- al material of very high caliber, consisting of Mansfield and Ewart, centers; Blanda and Hcidcr, forwards; and Bell and Soderquist, guards. Thus the varsity eleven was completed. The LaPortc Slicers took an early lead in the Eastern division of the N. I. II. S. A. A. basketball conference, and finally cinched the championship of the Eastern division by defeating Goshen. La Pone met with the Washington Sen- ators from East Chicago (winners of the Western division) for the champion- ship of the conference. The Senators, however, took home the honors and trophy, awarded for the classic, in a very closely contested battle, the score be- ing 33-26. 'Flic Sheers’ season was highly successful as far as wins and losses were concerned. The Slicers won nineteen victories and suffered five defeats for the entire season including the three tournaments. The victories in sectional, regional and state tournaments were the high spots of the season. The Slicers set a mark for the rest to shoot at, in the last six years making three trips to the state. The new gym should be an inspira- tion to next year’s squad. .E5SE2 SCHEDULE OF GAMES Union Mills Nappancc _____ Plymouth _____ Mishawaka Michigan City Elkhart ______ Goshen-------- South Bend Nappanee ----- Mishawaka Michigan City Elkhart ______ South Bend Plymouth______ Goshen________ Frocbel_______ East Chicago . •Overtime.

Boy3 G-natt iAans field Seventy-four Seventy-five OUR TEAM Hilgendorf Senior Forward Hilgendorf possessed lots of fight and wonderful ball-following ability. He never gave up, and was on his toes every minute. “Dutch” played any position on the floor and played it well. His loss will be felt next year. Young Senior Forward Kenny’s fighting spirit linked with his speed and cleverness made him a highly respected player. It was almost impossible to stop his low, speedy drib- ble into the basket, as many guards discovered. Kenny won the Gimbel prize for being the outstanding player of the state tournament, and also honorable mention on many all-state teams. Mansfield Junior Center Mansfield, because of his fight and follow-up ability, was an excellent scor- ing center. 'This together with his speed and shiftiness made him a valuable part of our team. Don should “go places” next year. Gnatt Sophomore Guard Because of his ball-handling and passing ability Gnatt made a name for himself at the state-tourney, winning honorable mention on many honorary teams. Being a natural ball player he had both offensive and defensive ability to a high degree. Rudy has two more years of competition. Boyd Senior Guard Boyd was an excellent guard and possessed great ability in getting the ball off the backboard. He was acting captain in most of our games, and was elected honorary captain at the end of the season. George proved his worth by leading the team to a very successful season although hampered during the tourna- ments by an infected knee. Pease Senior Forward Pease was a fighter, and could always be depended on. Whenever he en- tered a game the team steadied and played better basketball. Ernie made a name for himself in the tournaments by his fine spirit and uncanny free-throw- ing ability. His loss will be deeply felt next year. Blanda Junior Forward Blanda was fast and consistent. He was a good basket man and an ex- cellent passer. Walt gave everything he had to the team. Blanda will be back next year, and with this year’s experience ought to do things lor L. P. H. S. Ewart Junior Center Chuck was a good center because of his under-the-basket ability and fight. When he entered a game he seldom failed to score. Big things are expected of Ewart next year. Soderqu 1st Junior Guard Although this was “Sody’s” first year on a high school team he played like a veteran. He possessed marked ability and played his position well. Soder- quist should be a big asset to next year’s team. Bell Junior Guard Walt besides being a wonderful guard was a spirited fighter who never gave up. He could always be depended on to stick to his man and to get the ball oft’ the backboard. Bell will be back again next year, and with his experi- ence can be depended upon to come through. H EIDER Ileider’s i filitv plus his spirit made him a valuable asset toftlJie team. Bob won the ; imitation of all by his splendid fight for a varsity jjbl aon.

Throughout the season the squad worked diligently. This years reserve squad consisted of some of the most promising basketball players. The boys are eagerly await- ing their chance to show Coach Leitzman what they can do next year in the varsity competition. More power to them!

The tournament recalled the feat of 1928 when the “Fight- ing Sheers” “pulled a hot one out of the fire” from Michigan City. This time, however, the close battle ensued between the quintet from Union Mills and the LaPorte Slicers. With less than a minute to go, Union Mills 13, LaPorte 12—the frenzied crowd of over 1,800 gone completely wild with the intensity of the moment as they eyed the score—and then Kenny Young the Midget Sheer, shot frpin near the center circle and made a basket, just a few seconds before the final gun. This sudden streak of luck put LaPorte in the lead, 14 to 13. LaPorte next met Stillwell whom they defeated lazily by a score of 22-10. In the final game of the tournament LaPorte siezed up against the old rival, the Michigan City Red Devils. The game was a very keen contest from start to finish. LaPorte emerged victorious for the sixth consecutive time in the sectional tournament. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT 'Flic regional tournament was held at the Gary Memorial gymnasium. The LaPorte Slicers featured in the opening game against Brook. Wasliintgon of East Chicago and Valparaiso were the other teams to meet in this tournament. Last year the Brook quintet defeated the Slicers by a score of 23 to 16, but this year it was an entirely new story. The well coached Sheets were prepared to show the boys from Brook how to play basketball. During the game the Slicers held the Brook, outfit at bay, and emerged victoriously at the end with a score of 23 to 12. The Valpo Brownies defeated Washington of Fast Chicago after a hard fought struggle and met LaPorte in the final game of the regional. During this game the LaPorte Slicers took an early lead and maintained a handsome margin throughout the game, emerging victorious again at the long end of a 39 to 20 score. La Porte’s defense was the chief factor in their emerging winner of the regional again, the third time in six consecutive years. Seventy-eight 'r ,;gi STATE TOURNAMENT Coach Leitzman lead a crew of ten fighting Slicers downstate for the third time. After a pleasant trip to Indianapolis the team was quartered in the Elks club. LaPortc was scheduled to meet Kendallvillc at 3:00 o’clock Friday after- noon. The team witnessed the opening game of the state tournament with great interest, and undoubtedly profited by examples set by southern teams. In the LaPortc-Kcndallvillc game LaPorte took an early lead and led by a safe margin at the half but toward the end of the game the lads from Kcndallville staged a great rally which ended only two points short, the LaPortc Slicers once more winning the game by a score of 21 to 19. This was the first time a La- Porte team had been successful in winning a game at the state tournament. In the second game LaPortc met Muncie. LaPortc led only the first few minutes of the game, but trailed very closely, the score at the half being 21 to 17. In the final half the Muncie Bearcats had things their way, and finished with the score of 42 to 25 in their favor. The Muncie team entered in the finals of the tourney and met the Washington Hatchets. The Hatchets won the state tourna- ment by a score of 33 to 21. Kenneth Young, who played forward with the LaPortc Slicers, was awarded the Gimbel medal for mental attitude and sportsmanship. This unique distinc- tion was awarded the LaPortc boy because he really and truly established a remarkable record by his achievements and performance. And so until the next season the curtain falls upon the most beloved of all Hoosicr sports and the reign of King Basketball for the season of 1930 comes to an end. 1 TOP ROW—Adam Kuk, Kcnnclli Baker.

BASEBALL The call for baseball candidates was answered by five letter men and some unusually good, underclass material. Although faced with the loss of last year’s famous battery, Coach Lcitzman soon found an effective successor in Joe Luber, Freshman hurler, and Walt Bell, last year’s reserve catcher. When the team was rounded into shape the lineup consisted of Blanda at first, Garrison , at second, Kuk at short, Baker at third, Chet Malysiak in right, Walt Malysiak in center, GrandBois in left, with Pryblo as a relief hurler and Zeldon, relief catcher.

TRACK The LaPorte track squad, although weakened somewhat by the loss of last year’s performers, has done very well in the season of 1930. Those who were ieft from last year’s squad are Punsky, Flentye, Kowalczyk, Malysiak, Angeledes, Mansfield and the three Boxvell brothers. Some of the other boys who have done very good work this season arc Blanda, Wollert, Hoover, Burden, Mitchell and Garrison. The Slicers won their first meet of the season by defeating Plymouth. La- Porte on April 12, staged a medley and won this meet by a decisive score. The teams that participated in this meet were Michigan City, Union Mills, Rolling Prairie, Westville, Stillwell, Kingsbury and LaPorte. LaPorte was a close second to Mishawaka in the annual triangular affair held in Mishawaka on April 19. Plymouth won the invitational meet held at LaPorte. The Slicers finished second and Valparaiso, the other contestant, finished third. The remaining schedule includes a triangular meet with LaPorte, Goshen and Elkhart to be held at Elkhart, the conference at Gary, sectional at South Bend, and the state for those who place in the sectional. Eighty-one Miss Edith Olson GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Girls’ athletics at L. P. II. S. this year were conducted under the super- vision of Edith E. Olson, physical training director. Three class hockey teams were organized and games were played at Kiwanis Field last fall. A basketball tourney, which proved to be very interesting and exciting was held in the girls’ gym. Each class team was determined to win, as there was a sufficient number of good players in each class. The Juniors won all three games they played, while the Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen each wonc one game. One outstanding trait displayed by the contestants was their fine attitude and spirit of good sportsmanship. A tennis club, composed of upper classmen was added to the list of sports this year. The players showed great skill in this active sport. YOUTH A brilliant streak of color As a cardinal flashes by, A violent whir of powerful wings As an eagle soars through the sky, A rapid display of chain lightning As the storm begins its play, A rose tinged message of freshness As dawn brings forth a new day. So with vivid spirit, strength and daring, In answer to life’s brilliant call, With hope and vision unrebuffed Youth stands ready to accomplish all. Eighty-two SENIOR HOCKEY TEAM Florence Evans.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR COUNCIL The Extra-Curricular Council was organized in the fall of 1929 to replace the Board of Control for the purpose of controlling all money of the various activi- ties for the La Porte High School with the exception of athletics. The Board is composed of six high school teachers, the Principal and the presidents of the Junior and Senior classes. The teachers are appointed by the Principal at the beginning of the school year. The Council for this year purchased a cyclorama curtain for the stage from the funds of the classes ol 1923, 1927 and 1929. They have aided in sending Latin, Commercial and Music contestants to various meets, and they have stood the expense of Debate and Oratorical contests. The source of their revenue is ten percent from all ticket sales including that from athletics. No money raised by taxation is spent by this council. MUSIC The Music Department of our high school is under the direction of Mrs. Lola R. Vawter and Forrest E. Albert. The department includes Glee Clubs. Orchestra, Rand, classes in Music Appreciation, Harmony and Theory. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee club directed by Mrs. Vawter has progressed in its work over last season in that works of a more difficult nature are being studied. Fine work is being done on these treble voice masterpieces. Most of the first semester was given over to work on the chorus parts of the comic opera, “The Mikado.” A number of girls represented La Porte High in the district chorus at South Bend, and four were participants in the all-state chorus at Indianapolis. The group was heard in the Christmas carol program, in the Music Week program, at the Bacca- laureate service and in the May Music Festival. BOVS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee club, under Mr. Albert also .has done much work on some of the finer works for male voices. Their work the first part of the year was on the chorus of “The Mikado.” A number of representatives were in the South Bend chorus, and two were in the Indianapolis group. The group was heard in the Christmas program, the Music Week program, Baccalaureate service, and May Music Festival. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The first appearance cf the orchestra, under Mrs. Vawter was their accompani- ment of the opera, “The Mikado.” Over twenty orchestra students were in the South Bend orchestra, while two were in the Indianapolis orchestra. The orchestra has played for all plays of the Little Theatre club, and for the Junior and Senior school plays. It provided music for the Chamber of Commerce vaudeville and for the indoor chautauqua. Representatives were in the two sections of the National High School orchestra. The orchestra played in the Music Week program, the May Music Festival, the Baccalaureate service and Commencement. It placed third in the District Orchestra contest at Gary, playing the vorspiel to Wagner’s “Die Meis- tersinger” as the required number, and the first movement to Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony” as a selective number. HIGH SCHOOL BAND The LaPorte High School band, directed by Mr. Albert, provided music at all the home football and basketball games during the season. It played in the Chamber of Commerce pet show parade, at the corn show, and at the sectional tourney. It participated in the band program during Music Week, playing as a group and in the massed band. It was in the May Parade, given by the Physical ICducation Depart- ment of the grade schools. Because of lack of instrumentation, the group did not enter the Band contest at Gary.

MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL The second annual May Music Festival was held late in the year, to show the progress made during the year by the various music groups in the high and junior high schools. The High School Band, Orchestra, and Glee clubs, and the Junior High Orchestra and Glee clubs participated in the program. NATIONAL MUSIC GROUPS La Porte High was very well represented in the two sections of the National High School Orchestra and the National High School Chorus this year. Eldon Scott, percussionist, and Burr Hupp, base viol, played with the National Orches- tra at Atlantic City, and on its eastern trip at New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D. C. Lucille Andrcano and Helen Decker, violinists; Ruth Krause, cellist, and Paul Swenkoski, bassoonist, were in the Chicago Orchestra. Joseph Maddv conducted both orchestras. Noted symphony conductors were guests at various occasions, and several concert pianists were heard as soloists with the orchestra. Norma Finton, alto, and Don McCarty, tenor, were in the National High School Chorus at Chicago, directed by Hollis Dann and Frederick Alexander. La Porte is one of the few schools in the United States, and pos- sibly the smallest, to have such a large representation in national music groups. SOUTH BEND ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS A large La Porte delegation played in the District Symphony Orchestra at South Bend for the North Central Indiana Teachers’ Association. The group was conducted by George Dasch, symphony orchestra conductor of Chicago. At the same convention a number of local choristers were in the High School Chorus which sang under the direction of Louise Woodruff. 9fl Lucille Andrcano, Charles Becknell. Walter Blohm.

Ninety-two THE MIKADO The famous Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, “The Mikado,” produced by the Music Department of the school, has the distinction of being the first opera ever produced locally by high school students. Operettas have been done in previous years, but no work of the magnitude of “The Mikado” has ever been tried here. Miss Young as director of the Public Speaking Department coached the speaking parts, while Mrs. Vawter and Mr. Albert were in charge of the music. The chorus was composed of Glee club members, and all members of the cast were from the Glee club. The High School Orchestra played the ac- companiments.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION The Industrial Education Department of the high school is organized to provide training for two groups of students, as: (a) Those who wish to secure a high school education that will prepare them to enter college. For this group are offered Wood- work, Mechanical Drafting (both machine and architectural), and machine shop. Their work is chiefly taken for general education, (b) Those who wish to graduate from high school and prepare themselves to follow a definite trade. This type of work is known as Co-operative Education. MECH A N 1C A I, DR A FTIN G Drafting is the language of industry and is therefore an essential and neces- sary part of the training of any one, who expects to enter the mechanical or en- gineering fields. The Architectural Engineer uses drafting to convey to others the ideas which have originated in his mind. Our drafting department is divided into three major divisions, namely: Me- chanical and Elementary Drawing, Machine Drawing and Architectural Drawing. Any student entering the department is required to take Mechanical or Elementary Drawing for two consecutive semesters. After this he may enroll in either Machine or Architectural Drawing. In Machine Drawing he learns about the various mechani- cal constructions. Architectural Drawing takes him into house planning, perspec- tive, orders and rendering in several different mediums. During the present year the enrollment in the drafting department averaged approximately 135 pupils per semester. The students are placed into one of the thr .e tvpes of drawing mentioned. MACHINE SHOP The machine shop training leads many boys through to graduation by giving them a good job while going through school. The vocational boys owe their future mechanical career to the training received in the high school machine shop, and this training gives them a much higher wage scale. The machine shop course endeavors to teach the fundamental principles of the machine trade—straight turning, working to shoulder, tapering, threading, use of cut- ting off tool, centering work, chuck work, filing and finishing. The boys are given a course in forge work, which takes up bending, drawing out work, and hardening and tempering. The boys also do foundry work which conveys to them the idea of how objects are cast, machined and finished. They get an insight into the moulding trade. WOODWORK This phase of Industrial Education covers elementary work in wood, cabinet making, pattern making, slcyd and carpentry. However, we do not teach all these phases in our shop. We teach woodwork in order that the inventive ability of the student may be developed, that he may have a good sense of form and proportion and get some idea of production and industry. It also inspires in the students a sense of achievement, for they realize their mastery over material things in a useful way. CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION A co-operative part-time program is just what the word co-operative signifies. The program is successful so long as the schools and industries realize that each has a delinite job to do, but where each needs the advice and suggestions of the other. There are many advantages of the co operative plan from the standpoint of the boy. a Ho loams a highly skilled trade under competent Instruction, both In the plant and in the school. b) At the completion of the training he Is assured a Job la the trade for which he has received training. e) lie has an excellent background for an engineering course If he so desires It. d) The boy is under two desirable types of supervision, the factory and the school. e) He receives his training in a worth-while occupation while still under parental influence. (f) lie develops manipulative skill, learns the technical knowledge of the trade and develops job intelligence all at the same time. tg li gives the boy a background of intensive training from which promotion in later years should be easier, provided the Individual possesses certain ) crsonnl traits which are necessary. h) It provides the boy with an Income from $300.00 to $500.00 per year while he is receiving his training. On the other hand there are many advantages of a co-operative part-time pro- gram to the employer. (a) lie has the assistance of the school in helping him to select bis apprentices. (b) Recmi sc of this means of selection It Is more likely that ho will secure a higher grade boy than by other means of selection. (c) lie secures bis apprentices at an age when they learn most easily. (d) It will reduce the turnover of apprentices in the simps. (c) It raises tint level of the trade which In turn will attract a better grade of boys. THE SET-UP The school officials select from the student body boys who arc sixteen years of age or older, who are interested in such a training scheme and who would profit by it. The schools in consultation with industry set up a course of study for the students which will meet the demands of the boy and industry, and at the same time enable the boys to complete the work of the high school.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB This is an organization of students who are taking industrial work into a club, for the purpose of bringing before them the current events, technical information of general interest, visiting industrial plants and the promoting of interest in en- gineering and vocational courses. The club was named the LaPorte High School Industrial Arts Club. The Industrial Arts Club is sponsoring a trip to the Purdue Round-Up, a Round- Up held every year for the boys taking industrial work in Indiana. The club has a constitution and by-laws, which provide for a president, three vice-presidents, and a secretary-treasurer. DRAMA Hazel Brown Ruth Andrew Pearl Young Bernice Dunlap Eleanor Moore The Department of Drama is one of the most interesting departments in the LaPortc High School. It is interesting not only because of the interest students show toward dramatic work, but beesause through this department the lives and interest of the patrons arc touched. An unusual public interest was manifested this year in the annual operetta, “The Mikado,” an especially difficult piece of work for amateurs, but the Glee clubs proved capable of handling this difficult operetta through the efforts of Mrs. V aw ter, Mr. Albert, Miss Young and Miss Dunlap who were responsible for its success. The public was equally interested and pleased with the Junior and Senior plays. The choice of the Juniors this year, was the play, “The Poor Nut,” which was most suitable to the age and understanding of Juniors, as was ex- emplified by the excellent interpretation given by each member of the large cast. Miss Andrew, with the assistance of Miss Dunlap, ably directed the play. The Seniors chose a difficult play worthy of their production in selecting “'The Swan,” a romantic comedy and costume play of three acts by Molnar. This was the first costume play to be presented by the Seniors for a number of years, and the attractiveness of the costumes added much to the enjoyment of the play. However, the acting in itself, well repaid the audience, and the work of the entire cast of seventeen was an excellent testimony to the hard work of the coaches, Miss Brown and Miss Moore. Another outlet of the Drama Department, not quite so well known to the general public, but happily known and enjoyed by the students is the Public Speaking Department. This department offers through its class work courses in play production, and presents the plays for many of the assembly programs. During this year seven plays were given as programs by the Public Speak- ing students, among these plays, the favorites were, perhaps, the following: «The Mayor and the Manicure,” “The Xmas Burglar,” “They Just Won’t Talk” and “The Villian Still Pursued Her.” Miss Young is instructor in the Public Speaking Department. Nlltety-six □ ■KjEEZE ESE SENIOR PLAY “THE SWAN” The Seniors have every right to be proud of the success which attended their production of this romantic comedy. Several of the members of the cast had never appeared in any other histrionic role. In spite of this fact, their interpretations were so skilfully and naturally made that no one was able to discern the novices. Attractive costumes after the fashion of the last century, and a beautiful stage setting made this one of the prettiest and most pleasing plays that we have given. The play was directed by Miss Hazel Brown, assisted by Miss Eleanor Moore.

Through three acts of uproarious comedy, ran the sparkle and enthusiasm of college life with all the excitement attendant on a big track meet of the year, in which the pro- verbial worm turned and proved the hero of the day. Undci the direction of Miss Ruth Andrew and Miss Bernice Dunlap, the play, because of the smooth- ness of its presentation, the spirit injected into his part by each member of the cast, and the cleverness of its many humorous situations, won immediate favor with a large, appreciative audience. 'Flic cast was large and gave ample evidence of the dramatic ability of the class.

SUMMARY OF DEBATE SEASON The question adopted by the State Debating League this year, of which LaPortc High is a member, was, “Resolved that Indiana adopt by law the principle of old age pensions.” The affirmative and negative team each had three debates. The affirmative composed of Haskell Francis, Wesley Ross and Edith Stroud, debated at East Chicago on February 3, winning the decision. Following this it debated South Bend here on Feb. 6, and Michigan City here on Feb. 13, losing both decisions. The negative team composed of Robert Henoch, Frances Sampson, and Frederick Bjornsen, debated at East Chicago on Feb. 3, and Michigan City on Feb. 5, winning both decisions. On Feb. 11, the negative debated at South Bend, losing the verdict. Three members of the debate team, Edith Stroud, Frances Sampson, and Frederick Bjornsen, all seniors, became members of the National Forensic League. In order to be admitted to this national organization, an applicant must secure a certain number of credit points in debating. Furthermore, only three mem- bers arc admitted from a school each year. One Hundred THE GIRL RESERVES The Cabinet of the Girl Reserves for the year consisted of Bernice Ribordy, president; Bernadinc Smith, vice-president; Doris Dunham, secretary; Mary K. Fitzsimmons, treasurer; Lois Barnes, program committee; Mary J. Schumacher, service chairman. 'Flic Girl Reserves arc divided into four groups. The membership group, with Bernadinc Smith as chairman, has secured new members for the club. The program group planned a very good program for the year consisting of enter- tainments given by the members and other speakers. The social group had monthly club suppers with their business meetings. The service group did many charitable acts in the local community and in the school. 'Flic Girl Reserves gained the concession to sell candy and Eskimo pics at the football and basketball games at home. This was the means of making money for the service work and for the support of the club. 'Flic annual Girl Reserve Dance for the members and their friends was given February 13. Phalen’s orchestra furnished the music. Sixty couples had a “bigger and better time” than last year. Another interesting social affair, which was held by the group for the first time, was the Mothers’ and Daughters’ Banquet, given for the members and their mothers. This was held May 13 at Friendship Hall, and proved to be a successful and enjoyable event. 'Flic election of officers for the coming year was held at the end of this school year.

GIRLS’ COUNCIL The Girl’s Council is an organization in high school, whose purpose is to give help wherever and whenever possible. The Council consists of twelve girls, three representing each class. The Freshman class representatives are Marian Baker, Crystal Draves and Annette Osborn; the Sophomore, Ruth Krejci, Mary Helen Duke and Louise Fargher; the Junior, Marjorie LcReschc, Lucille An- dreano, and Marguerite Gross; the Senior, Blanche Baker, Muriel Rambo and Florence Palm. The following officers were elected by the girls: Florence Palm, president; Marjory LcReschc, vice-president; Louise Fargher, secretary. Each class has a treasurer. Miss Anderson sponsors the group. At Thanksgiving time the girls of the Council assisted the Charity Circle by filling twelve baskets with food, provided by the students of the High School. These baskets were delivered by the girls to twelve needy families in LaPortc. The first matinee dance of our school was sponsored by the Girl’s Council and proved to be a success. Robert Punsky’s orchestra furnished the music. The admittance fee was ten cents and the girls sold Eskimo pics for refresh- ment. The proceeds of the dance went to the dental fund of the High School. The girls arc planning another matinee dance before the close of school in order to increase the dental fund. ——— TOP HOW Ralph Llmlgren. Robert Drlug. Wallace Hauschlld. Robert fielder.

THE JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross Council, which was organized two years ago for the purpose of fostering a spirit of service in the high school, continued its work this year. At a meeting on March 24 the Council was re-organized, taking in one new member from each home room. The Council hopes to co-operate with the senior chapter of the Red Cross in carrying on local and national charity work. Delegates from the Red Cross County Council met last November at the High School for the semi-annual meeting. Following the regular business meet- ing, luncheon was served in the cafeteria and a program was given. The re- porting committee prepared in newspaper form a report of the proceedings.

THE ENTRE NOUS CLUB Membership in the Entre Nous club is open to students enrolled in the two- semester course for library assistants, which gives two credits toward graduation, former assistants, and any students helping in the library without credit. Meet- ing held after school on alternate Thursdays, consist of a program on some phase of library work followed by a social hour. Subjects this year have been the various types of library work, each member assuming responsibility for preparing one program. Outside speakers included Miss Helen M. Clark, State School Library Advisor, who spoke on “Library Schools;” Mrs. Vivian R. Lockridgc, Librarian at the LaPorte Public Library, who talked on “The Public- Library;” Miss Ruth Keithline, who spoke about “Work With Children,” and Miss Geneva Henderson, “The School Library.” The organization is new this year. The course for library assistants was approved by the State Department of Public Instruction in December. It has definitely stimulated interest in librarianship as a profession, and given broader view of the resources of a library to the members, and through them to other High School students. Members not appearing in picture: Ruth Cook, Margaret Luchsingcr. Officers: Dorothea Bauman, president; Margaret Luchsingcr, secretary; Marjorie Green, corresponding secretary.

J OUR YELL LEADERS The quality of our teams depends a great deal on the yell leaders. They have a very difficult task, especially when the team is behind, in keeping up the spirit and good sportsmanship of the crowd. It is amazing how much this spirit expressed by noise, helps the team. The yell leaders this year were very ef- ficient, and deserve a great deal of credit. The four veil leaders were Marion Rasmussen, Eddie Young, Ilomcr Fitzpatrick and Bud Volhcim. “Rassy” and “Eddie,” with a year’s experience, were very adept at leading yells, and kept the rooters yelling continually. These two were the favorites of the crowd. “Bud” and “Fitz” completed the squad, and helped out in many ways. One Hundred Twenty-three DEEP THOUGHTS ON LIFE— a Nutshell “Education commences at the mother’s knee, and every word spoken within the hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.” “Not with whom you arc born, but with whom you are bred.” “Of course everybody likes and respects self-made men. It is a great deal better to be made in that way than not to be made at all.” “The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immor- tality already sown within us; to develop to their fullest extent the capacities of every kind with which the Cod who made us has endowed us.” “Much may be made of a Scotchman if he be caught young.” “But it was in making education not only common to all, but in some sense compulsory on all, that the destiny of the free republics of America was prac- tically settled.” “Only the refined and delicate pleasures that spring from research and edu- cation can build up barriers between different ranks.” “A good discourse is that from which nothing can be retrenched without cutting into the quick.” “There is as much eloquence in the tone of voice, in the eves, and in the air of a speaker as in his choice of words.” “True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.” “Every man’s life is a fairy tale written by God’s fingers.” “With aching hands and. bleeding feet We dig and heap, lay stone on stone; We bear the burden and the heat Of the long day, and wish ’twere done. Not till the hours of light return All we have built do we discern.” “However, while I crawl upon this planet I think myself obliged to do what good I can in my narrow domestic sphere, to all my fellow creatures, and to wish them all the good I cannot do.” “To produce works, one must have knowledge. Nature cannot be com- manded except by being obeyed. Let us learn the laws of nature, and we shall be her master.” “The man who satisfies a ceaseless intellectual curiosity probably squeezes more out of life in the long run than any one else.” “One life—a little gleam of Time between two Eternities.” SOME OF OUR VIEWS Things would be different in (he L. I . H. S. if— We had a new chem. lab. The lockers had mufflers on them. Rudy Gnatt would stay in school six hours one day. The electric saws would stop “sawing wood.” Certain people would do their sleeping at home. Don McCarty would get a permanent pass to be late. Candy bar wrappers were thrown in the waste basket instead of on the floor. Gum had never been manufactured. Ink bottles were always kept in the bottom of the lockers. Certain students knew how to applaud. We had radios instead of teachers. Bob Punsky would get a “steady girl.” Joe Saunders and Carlton Coon decided to enter L. P. H. S. as Freshmen. “Little Shot” Eherenmann would cut her hair. Norman Koch would decide what color pants to wear. Bob Dring would “blow himself to a muffler for his voice.” An elevated train were run from the school to Kiwanis Field for the com- fort of the athletes. A course in aviation would be given so Jack Jewett would not have to fly out of a window at night to get a thrill. Things we envy— The Seniors—the privileges some take. The Juniors—their ability to tear down other class flags. The Sophomores—their sophistication. The Freshmen—their ignorance. Florence Palm—her brown eyes. Mr. Krider—his bright remarks. Marjorie LeResche—her flushed cheeks. Norman Thode—his golden silence. Kenny Baker—his girl. Dewey McDonald—his non-susceptibility to the Fair Sex. The track men—their 3 o’clock pass to Kiwanis Field. I41V011 Goeltzenleuchter—her last name. The Seniors bequeath the following belongings— “Rassy” to Miss Seaman—her orange “yell-leader” trousers. Klva Kemp to Herman Middleton—her place on the honor roll. John Mitchell to John Ray—his ability as a butler. Ernie Pease to John Klagstad—his all-around athletic ability. Bob Punsky to Grace Lang—his voice. Edith Stroud to Mary Helen Duke—her oratorical ability. 1930 El-Pe Staff to 1931 El-Pe Staff—John Mitchell’s Ford, to be used by the business managers. Marjory Wilk to Ruth Krejci—her fondness for dates. Don McCarty to Wess Ross—Grace I«ang. Roy Sonneborn to Ruth Goldberg—all his schoolbooks. Hazel Wegner to Helen Morrison—her mimeograph job. anv ™LPASS THROUGH this world but once MNDNPCC rTHEREFORE ™AT 1 CAN DO OR ANY ing lpTmp ' can SHOW TO ANY human BE- UFri 5 ° T N°W- LET ME N0T DEFER OR again- ' FOR 1 SHALL N0T PASS TH,S WAY . .
