Activities FOREWORD As in the depths of some woodland stream we see reflected in its pure waters the world around, so in the clear waters of our memory we find mirrored this school world that has been our own these last four years; To keep that reflection clear in outline, so that time can not distort its form, has been our purpose in the preparation of this book, and it is with the hope that its pages will serve as a spring to keep high the level of our memory, that we, the class of 1931, present to our readers the eleventh volume of the El-Pe. •- Patrons FIRST NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST CO.

During the first of these four years the laying of the keel was completed and the construction of the hull begun. The first sturdy timbers were put together under the direction of our chosen ship builders. Robert Henoch, Walter Blanda and Henry Ross. In the second year under the skillful management of Walter Blanda, Henry Ross and Harriet Wegner this work was completed. By this time the workers were well acquainted with the huge task assigned to them, and every man was at his post. The guides selected for the third year were Henry Ross, Frank Flcntye, Jeanette Ordung and Bowen Bowcll; again we bent to the oars and strained toward the goal of perfection. Three other ships were in the harbor, one prac- tically completed, and two in the first stages of formation. For the amusement of the laborers some of the talented workers from our ship presented a comedy, “The Poor Xut.” It was justly received with colossal acclaim. In honor of the maiden voyage of the completed ship we entertained the crew and passengers of the Senior ship at the Junior Prom. Battles with foreign vessels were numer- ous and hard fought. A crew consisting of the best fighters from each ship de- fended our reputation and honor. Our ship provided indispensable material which led the way to victory. During the fourth year, led by John Ray, Robert Henoch, Bowen Bowell and Henry Ross we made our ship seaworthy and prepared for the launching. Again we entertained, this time with the Mixer and with the play “Skidding;” we achieved success in both. 1 he Prom presented to us by the Junior ship served as a last farewell. Now we arc ready to set sail on the unmapped sea of life; it is our sincere hope that these last four years have not been in vain, that we shall leave the port a little finer for our having been there, and that the assistance we have at- tempted to give to those, who were not so far advanced as we, is not entirely barren. To our superiors we offer our humble thanks for their generous and unceasing efforts in our behalf. With the aid of our compass we are prepared to weather all storms, and as we sail towards the horizon may we never be forced to lower the lifeboats. Sherry Kreidi.er.

Four Year Honor Roll and Honorable Mention Out of the rich gifts of the world, God gave to Man work, work that challenges the spirit of Man to do his best, work that offers to Man in return for time spent and energies expended the thrill and exultation of knowing that that which his hands have made and his mind created is good. You who have accepted this challenge with spirit high have already received your truest reward in the inner satisfaction that you have striven well and faith- fully. What honor is yours in having your name inscribed below is but secondary. For the deed’s sake, I have done the deed. The Honor Roll and Honorable Mention list serves its purpose in giving others opportunity of paying homage to you for the high quality of work you have maintained.

For our first year we had chosen Ralph Newman, president; Charles 'lag, vice-president; Gene Brady, secretary-treasurer as class officers. Now we chose a new set, Charles Tag, president; Benny Brenda, vice-president; Robert Baker, secretary-treasurer, and under their guidance continued to make a record for ourselves and others to follow. We furnished good material for both boys’ and girls’ athletics and managed to have a few on the varsity. In assemblies we have not been found lacking in providing proper entertainment. On the Honor Roll we have always shone most, equalling and surpassing the other classes in this and other scholastic attainments. And the best is yet to come. If you sit back and watch us you will see one of the best classes in school history. Bii.i. Bard.

Fifty-eight — Freshmen FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Bob Jone.s Alice KM shout Betty Reas President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Freshman Class History On a certain September morning a noisy delegation of boys and girls trooped lip to the front door of the imposing edifice known as the LaPortc High School. It represented the annual batch of Freshmen—this time the class of ’34. From the first we were different from other Frcshies; we were quite bold and fearless and we bid lair to establish an enviable reputation before we leave. That we soon settled down to work is manifested by our creditable scholastic showing. Many of us made the Honor Roll and Honorable Mention lists during our first year. A new feature, namely a Freshman party, was held near Halloween and served somewhat as a “Mixer.” The following capable officers were elected: Bob Jones, president; Alice Elshout, vice-president; Betty Ross, secretary-treasurer. In March we were weakened by the departure of our vice-presidnt for Toronto, Canada. In addi- tion to holding this class office, Alice was a member of the Freshman basket- ball team and had always ranked on cither the Honor Roll or Honorable Mention list. We feel that in her leaving we have lost a valuable classmate. As for athletics, good material for both football and basketball was discovered in our ranks. The Freshman girls’ basketball team suffered only one defeat— that from the Sophomores. In addition, musical talent was not lacking. Freshmen were well represented in both band and orchestra. We intend to continue our good work and a class of bigger and better Sopho- mores may be expected next year. Mary E. Ulen. .4.

Their quaking knees they attempt to still, Endeavoring to look more wise, But their noble efforts come to nil, A look of fear is in their eyes. From the school close by, they hear a bell, And look about with a startled gaze. Into the building they rush pell-mell, And wander about in a questioning daze. Two mighty seniors approaching nigh, With many a withering glance they say, Assembly seats—do you wish to buy? But are driven away by cries of nay! The reason why they seem so bold, In so defying these seniors great, Is because they had before been told To strongly beware of such a bait. After several months go by, When they’re accustomed to the rules, And they are not quite so shy, They do no longer act like fools. Sixty-six Athletics The Coaches In this, his seventh and last year in La Porte, Coach Lcitzman again proved his worth. His outstanding achievement was the gaining of the first X. I. II. S. C. Championship, which the school never before held. The honor was won by the basketball team, which was one of the best he has turned out. We arc sorry to lose Coach Lcitzman, who has accepted a fivc-vcar contract at the Central Normal School at Danville, Indiana. 'Phis year was the fourth which Mr. Kridcr has served as an assistant on Mr. Lcif .man’s staff. He organized and conducted all intra-mural and inter- class sports in addition to his work on the athletic field in football and track. Many boys have come in contact with Mr. Kridcr and all have learned to re- spect him. To Coach Walker goes much credit for the creation of good feeling. He was regarded as a friend and pal by all the players. He was a capable assist- ant to Coach Lcitzman, especially in baseball. This was Mr. Elders first year in LaPortc. Besides helping manage gym classes he helped with the coaching of the different teams. All the boys who came in contact with him soon formed a liking for him. Sixty-nine John M. FVench S. II. I.Htzmun 13. It. Wotherow LaPorte High School Athletic Board The Athletic Board is organized to handle all matters pertaining to athletics of the LaPorte High School. It consists of three members: The Superintendent, Coach and Principal. The Board pays all expenses of games and equipment for all teams. It con- tributes ten per cent of all ticket sales to the extra-curricular council. Since last June it has paid a $500.00 note on Kiwanis Field, and has a fund to improve the playing field. Football This season found six of last year’s lettermen returning in addition to a number of likely candidates with and without experience. In fact this year’s squad was one of the heaviest in recent years. The season started with a victory over a mediocre team from Rensselaer. However four conference games resulted in de- feats and two more rather medicore victories were annexed from Plymouth and Bluffton. The Bluffton game was interesting due to the fact that it was the first night football game in which the school ever participated. Material for next year’s squad looks fairly promising, due to the fact that a team of underclassmen put up a game fight in the last game of the season against Mishawaka, the Eastern Division champions.

All participants in football were eligible to try out, and additional material was called from gym classes. Six of last year’s first eleven, Bell, Blanda, Ewart, Gnatt, Mansfield and Sodcrquist reported and Grandbois was soon added to the first team as center. The first squad was completed with the addition of Brenda, Garrison, Luber, Miller and Ward. Before long Coach Leitzman had started a team which proved to work to- gether as well, if not better, than any other in recent years. An early lead was taken and held as the Slicers won the Eastern Division of the N. I. H. S. C. without a conference defeat. Washington of East Chicago, who defeated the Slicers in the plav-ofT last year were again our opponents in the finals. However, last year’s defeat was avenged in what was probably one of the best games of the season. In the sectional tourney LaPorte failed to meet Michigan City for the first time in the history of the tourney. This was due to the fact that Union Mills disposed of the Harbor Town crew before the Slicers got a chance. In winning the tourney LaPorte defeated Clinton Township, LaCrosse, Union Mills and W anatah. In the regional LaPorte lost to Valparaiso, who had been beaten earlier in the season by a close score. In a summary of the season we find that this year’s team annexed 19 vic- tories while losing 5. Of these defeats two, by South Bend Central and Val- paraiso, were offset by victories at other times during the season. Two of the other defeats were by margins of only one point, to Peru and Froebcl. The other defeat by Emerson followed the play-off with Washington of East Chicago, and the Slicers showed none of their plays in the listless affair.

Seventy-four Blanda Senior Guard This year Walt was shifted from his regular position at forward to a guard post. Besides turning in good defensive games Walt was at all times a threat offensively and ranked fourth in scoring. Gnatt Junior Guard This was Rudy’s third year on the varsity. His experience was at all times evident, for his ball-handling, guarding and general floor-work were at all times spectacular. Rudy was given all X. I. H. S. C. rating and should do even better next year. Mansfield Senior Forward When on, Don had a dead eye for the bucket, as was shown by his lead in individual scoring. He well proved his worth at East Chicago in the confer- ence play-off. Don was also given all N. I. H. S. C. rating. Ewart Senior Forward Charlie was listed as a forward but did not do a great deal of shooting. However his team-work and ball-handling were outstanding and were respon- sible for many of the other fellows’ baskets. Graxdbois Setiior Center Although this was Bill’s first year of competition he soon worked and looked like a veteran. His height was decidedly an asset on the tip-off and offensive plays. Bill was also second in individual scoring. Bell Senior Guard Walter was one of the best defensive men on the team. He was always cool and when injected in the line-up helped to steady the team-work of the others. Garrison Junior Center Skipper had two good qualities as a center, his height and a good eye for the bucket. With his experience Skipper should do a great deal next year. Luber Sophomore Forward Joe was listed as a forward, but his defensive work was equally good. With two more years Luber should do things. Soderquist Senior Guard With a year’s experience Bob proved to be a valuable utility man for he could be depended on to give his best whenever he saw action. Miller Junior Forward While in the game Jack always aided in keeping up the fighting spirit of the team. He showed a good eye for the bucket. Ward Sophomore Forward Dave saw little varsity action, but did consistent good work with the sec- ond squad. Brenda Sophomore Forward Benny earned his place by consistent improvement and hard work.

Reserve Basketball A reserve squad composed almost entirely of underclassmen won eleven and lost two games during the season. The two defeats at the hands of Rolling Prairie and South Bend Central Reserves were avenged by victories later in the season. The material trained in this squad will probably prove a valuable source of future varsity material. SCHEDULE OF GAMES LaPortc 23; Kingsbury 20. LaPorte 13: Rolling Prairie 16.

Seventy-eight Yell Leaders This year found Eddie Young the only member from last year’s squad of veil leaders. However, Lucille Cloutier, Marguerite Gross, Nadine Hainan and Martha Quick were elected to assist him. Due to the system of seating at the Civic Auditorium, it was exceptionally hard to get good response regularly. However the leaders did their best and gave perhaps some of the best cheering away from home that the teams ever had.

Eighty-one Girls’ Athletics Through the efforts of Miss Edith E. Olson, coach, the work of the Physical Education Department and Girls’ Athletics has developed and expanded to a higher standard. Hockey, the vigorous fall sport, was played by all classes, but due to the inclement weather the latter part of the season, it was impossible to hold the hockey tournament; no class teams were organized. The first part of the winter season a home room basketball league was formed, all rooms taking part in this event. These games were fast and inter- esting as there was equally excellent material in each class. The Senior girls of Mr. Frantz’s room proved to be the strongest by defeating Mr. Hyde’s Junior girls, 9 to 5. The annual class teams were chosen and an unusually good tournament was held in the girl’s gymnasium. All the sextettes were well prepared, as the final scores proved; the Seniors, Sophomores and f reshmen each winning two games, the Juniors winning one. The final game of this series was played between the Senior and Sophomore groups with the Seniors victorious, 13-9. Although the tourney ended a tie, it was decided to have no play-off.

It was heard during the Music Week programs, at Purdue Short Course and at the May Festival. It played at both the school and community Christmas Carol programs and it also accompanied the carols. It was heard also at plays of the high school classes and Little Theatre Club. BAND The band played for the Music W eek programs, the May Music Festival and the Armistice Day program. It gave valuable assistance at all basketball and football games. GLEE CLUBS The two Glee clubs have done their own work on four part music, as well as on projects as combined clubs. In the latter capacity they sang at the Bacca- laureate service. They were heard on the Music Week programs, at the May Music Festival and for Parent-Teachers’ meetings. SOUTH BEND The first out of town performance of any members of the music depart- ment was at South Bend for the North Central Indiana Teachers’ Association. Members of the orchestra were in the orchestra conducted by George Dasch of the Chicago Little Symphony, and glee club members were in the chorus directed by W. Otto Meissner. INDIANAPOLIS Following the South Bend concert, five members of the band went to In- dianapolis to play in the all-state band of three hundred pieces. They were: Arthur Guyer, flute; Ralph Lindgren, and John Littleton, cornets; Paul Swen- koski, bassoonist and Walter Blohm, bass. The band was directed by H. W. Warren of Gary and Frederick Barker of Indianapolis. At the same time an all-state chorus was assembled. Four LaPorte girls sang in this chorus, Alber.ta Schultz, Irene and Lydia Burger, sopranos, and Jeanette Slosarz, alto. CONCERTS The two most notable works of the Music Department during the year were the joint concerts with Michigan City High School orchestra and the pro- duction of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, “His Majesty’s Ship Pinafore.” The LaPorte High School orchestra directed by Mrs. Lola R. Vawter, music supervisor, and the Michigan City High School orchestra directed by Palmer My ran, combined to play a concert in LaPorte, Dec. 2. The Boys’ Glee club, directed by Forrest Albert, appeared. Lucille Andrcano, concert master of the LaPorte group, was soloist on the Michigan City program.

They were: Grace Lange, soprano; Jeanette Solsarz. alto; Walter Hauschild, Robert McCarty, basses; Howard Bolen, bari- tone. This group was directed by Dr. Hollis Dann of New York and included five hundred voices. DES MOINES Both orchestra and chorus which were assembled for the North Central Music Supervisors’ Conference at Dcs Moines, had respresentatives from La- Porte High School. They were: Zelpha Bounds, alto; Burr Hupp, bass, and Ralph Lindgren, trumpet. Dr. John Finley Williamson, conductor of Dayton Westminster Choir, directed the chorus and Dr. Joseph Maddv of the Uni- versity of Michigan conducted the orchestra. On March 21, at Indianapolis, Ruth Krause, president of the Junior Ama- teur Music club competed in the cello section of the state contest sponsored by the Federation of Music Clubs and won first place, receiving as an award a gold medal. Her work was highly praised by the judges. On May 9, at Bloomington, Indiana Ruth won first place in the cello division of the State Music Contest. MISS Young Miss Brown Miss Androw Miss Thompson Miss Moore Miss Dunlap Drama The drama calendar for 1930-31 held the following dales as its red letter days: On the night of January 22 “Pinafore,” a light opera was produced by the Glee clubs of the high school. The actors showed unusual skill in voice tech- nique, particularly, the soloists. 'Pile music and singing were directed by Mrs. Lola Vawter, assisted by Mr. Albert and Mrs. Wetherow. The speaking parts were well done and distinctly given, with credit to the coach, Miss Eleanor Moore. An addition to the attractiveness of the opera was the unique scenery due to the efforts of Miss Dunlap. The next outstanding date was March 27, when the Juniors showed their talent to an admiring audience in the presentation of “The Youngest,” a three act comedy by Phillip Barry. Their coach, Miss Andrew, again showed her good judgment in selecting a play within the reach of her cast, and the play was so well directed that one critic said of a certain scene, “That scene alone was well worth coming to sec.” Miss Andrew was ably assisted by Miss Thompson, particularly as stage manager. The third and last outstanding date of the dramatic calendar, May 1, proved the old saying, “that the third of anything is the charm.” The charm was the play, “Skidding,” a three act comedy by Aurania Rouvcral. The cast of ten characters, ranging from a lad to a gray-haired grandfather, were varied enough to be intensely interesting as types. Besides this interest the story of the play has a charm of its own, which was greatly enhanced by the excellent interpre- tation given it by the players. Miss Brown, and her capable assistant, Sella Cook, a student, deserve the praise for this well received play. With the red letter days of the dramatic calendar thus reviewed, we would pass to the dramatic department of the school curriculum. This department took a step forward this year by organizing a class of dramatic and stage craft. The high lights of presentation by this department were the following plays given before the general assembly of the High School; “The Orange Colored Necktie,” “His Day Off,” “Parlor Tricks” and “Two Tables of Bridge.” These plays proved a credit to the department and were well received by the high school. This department staged also three public plays for church pro- grams and the Parent-Teachers’ Association, the proceeds of one play going for the benefit of the latter. A play represents a section of life, and the training that students receive in character interpretation through drama causes one to say that the dramatic department of any high school is a department for unfolding and developing of personality. Miss Pearl Young is instructor of the public speaking and dramatic classes. Nlnety-ono Senior Class Play On May 1, the Seniors presented a finished interpretation of ‘Skidding” in reply to the demand for comedy this year. This sprightly work concerns a politically-inclined co-ed’s decision between a career and a husband. With the example of her two married sisters, who have just left their husbands, before her, no wonder she hesitated-—who wouldn’t? Laughs were generous- ly provided by ‘‘Andy,” who was just having his first “date.” And the burning question of all limes—“a career or husband ” was answered to the entire satis- faction of all who saw the play.

Ninety-two The Junior Play A rip-roaring comedy, which included even a bing-bang Fourth of July scene, was used by the Juniors this year to put across a successful class play. Philip Barry’s “The Youngest,” was the production staged. Using much the same theme as that which the Junior play of last year, “The Poor Nut,” had “The Youngest,” presented a henpecked, downtrod- den youth, the youngest member of the Winslow family—a boy who was afraid to call his soul his own. Robert Bowes in the name part was an un- usually fine interpretation of the role. According to the story, this boy is finally persuaded by a guest of the family to assert his rightful place in the family, by revealing to the others his just claim to one-sixth of the inheritance, which, with interest and one thing and another, amounts to more than the entire estate is worth at that date. Even though the mouse turned into a lion suddenly, he is not too small to sec his family’s side of the affair. So after taking the entire estate away from them, he gives it back with stipulations which guarantees to him the right of a “place in the sun.” Miss Andrew and Miss Thompson coached the play.

Ninety three Opera Although the success achieved last year by “The Mikado,” the first opera ever to be attempted by a LaPorte High School cast, seemed unsurpassable, the Gilbert and Sullivan favorite, “H. M. S. Pinafore,” which was given this year, reached the unbelievable goal. It was declared by many who saw it to be better than anything of its kind ever tried by LaPorte High School. The story is typical of the Gilbert and Sullivan works, presenting the ad- miral of the fleet as a suitor of the captain’s daughter, who loves and is loved by one of the common seamen. When it is revealed that the captain of the ship is only a common seaman by birth, and that the seaman who loves the erstwhile captain’s daughter is really the captain, the story ends happily, as the admiral cannot marry the daughter of a common seaman. So the new captain docs. The music was coached by Mrs. Vawter and Mr. Albert. Miss Moore had charge of the speaking parts. The high school orchestra furnished accom- paniment of the affair. The cast and chorus were taken from the two LaPorte High School Glee clubs. THE CAST Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B. Captain Corcoran ......... Ralph Rackstraw .......... Dick Deadeye .............

The council is composed of six high school teachers, the principal and the presidents of the Junior and Senior classes. The teachers arc appointed by the principal at the beginning of the school year. The council for this year purchased doors for the cyclorama curtain, using funds from former classes. They placed ferneries in the front corridors of the high school building and mirrors in the girls’ restrooms. The council made the following budget for the year’s activities: Debate __________________________$108.00 Latin ____________________________ 50.00 Music ___________________________ 205.00 Commercial activities ___________ 150.00 Industrial arts___________________ 35.00 Cleaning of band uniforms_________ 45.00 $593.00 The source of the revenue is ten per cent from all ticket sales including that from athletics.

Debate The question debated by the LaPorte High School under the Indiana State Debating League was “Resolved, that the present system of instalment buying of consumption goods be condemned.” Three teams were organized at the beginning of the season. W esley Ross, Haskell Francis and Robert Henoch constituted the first group. Later Robert Bowes joined them as negative speaker and Wesley Ross remained as affirma- tive. The alternate affirmative was composed of Arthur Russell, Enid Eddy and Malcolm Sheridan; the alternate negative of Robert Taylor, Gordon Lee and Robert Bowes. In two debates Haskell Francis was pronounced the best speaker on the floor, and once this honor was given to Robert Henoch. 'Fhe season opened in January and continued into the latter part of March. The complete schedule was: January 9—East Chicago, here—won dual debate. January 14—Hammond, there—lost dual 2-1. February 10—Michigan City, there—won. February 12—South Eend Riley, here—won.

Girl Reserves The Girl Reserves made a radical change in their organization this year. The club separated from the city Y. W. C. A., and became a school organization. A sponsor was appointed to take charge of each standing committee, while Miss Moffett remained the chief advisor. The chairman of each committee repre- sents her group in the cabinet, but at division meetings an elected group of of- ficers takes charge. The elected cabinet members are: Virginia Brown, presi- dent; Bernards Wade, vice-president and chairman of membership committee; Louise Fargher, secretary; LaDonna Abele, treasurer; Sherry Kreidlcr, chair- man program committee; Miss Bccsley, sponsor program committee; Ruth Krejci, chairman social committee; Miss Dick, sponsor social committee; Evelyn Nord, chairman service committee; Miss Moffett, sponsor service committee and entire club; Miss Olson, sponsor membership committee. Among the many services performed this year, perhaps the most import- ant is the establishing of a Girl Reserve Loan Fund. Through this fund, money may be borrowed for purchasing books. At Christmas time a substantial check was sent to the Unemployment Relief Fund. Money for these various projects was earned by the girls themselves. In co-operation with the Industrial Arts Club, candy was sold at all basketball and football games. A magazine campaign also provided money. The annual Girl Reserve Valentine dance was held, February 13 in the school gymnasium. It was one of the most important social events of the school year. A Halloween party and a Saint Patrick’s Day club supper was also held. In May a Mother and Daughter banquet was given, and at that time new officers were installed for the next school year. Each summer two delegates are sent to the Girl Reserve Camp at Sauga- tuck, Michigan. Ninety-eight TOP ROW1—Jack MetZRer, Charles Becknell. Eldo Wollert. Gordon I-co. llaskcll Francis. Delos Thomas.

Some of the speakers who have addressed the club are: Ben Rees, The Reverend Frohne, The Rever- end Kenny, Coach Lcitzman and Mr. Abbott. The Senior club conducted the induction service for the new Junior Hi-Y, the ceremony taking place at the Baptist Church. Some of the other activities of the group have been the Hi-Y dance, a contribution to the World Brother- hood Convention, check room service at basketball games, and attendance at the Indiana Older Boys’ Conference. Officers for the past year have been: Henry Ross, president; Robert Gross, vice-president; Haskell Francis, secretary; Robert Henoch, treasurer; Mr. Schulze, sponsor.

Junior Hi-Y The Junior Hi-Y club was organized during the winter after a large number of members had been received into the old club. To facilitate plans and pro- jects, the club was divided. Seniors remaining with the old club, and Juniors organizing the new. Most of the members of the Junior club are new to Hi-Y work, as only a few were members of the old organization. Initiation for the new members was held at the Baptist Church under the direction of the old club. Officers of the club are as follows: Wallace Hauschild, president; Bill Mor- rison, vice-president; Bob Quinn, secretary; Bill Duke, treasurer; and Francis Smith, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Bcabout is the sponsor. Members of the Junior club worked with the Senior club to stage the first Hi-Y dance this spring The sleeveless sweaters which the group adopted as garbs this season have a new style Hi-Y insignia on the front in school colors. Meetings were held each Thursday morning in the advisory period. Several Thursday evening suppers were also staged. Speakers addressed the club at several of the meetings.

A constitution was adopted. The council co-operated with the Girls’ Council in helping the Charity Circle prepare Thanksgiving baskets for the needy. Christmas boxes were filled for the World War veterans from LaPortc county, who arc in hospitals in Indiana and Illinois. These boxes were filled with candy, tobacco, handkerchiefs and nuts. As our bit toward the Drouth Relief we sent one hundred seventy-eight dozen cookies made with currants, which were sent from Greece. These cur- rants were sent to our organization as a “thank you” gift for Christmas boxes sent to them. These,cookies were made by the cooking classes under the direc- tion of Miss Sheehan. They were sent to Shoals. Indiana for distribution among drouth sufferers. A matinee dance was held to raise money for the Drouth Reliaf Fund. Wilma Hunt was social chairman of this dance. Our last activity was the sale of candy at the charity game between Sages and Midget basketball teams. All the proceeds from this went into the Drouth Fund.

The Girls' Council The Girls Council, which is sponsored by Miss Anderson, Dean of Girls, is an organization consisting of twelve members, three representatives being chosen from each class. Marguerite Gross, Marian Bull and Lydia Burger represent the Senior girls; Zclpha Bounds, Ruth Krejci and Marian Gross, the Juniors; Marie Bobo, Hazel Palm, Marian Loeb, the Sophomores; Janet Littleton, Mary Elizabeth Ulen and Kathryn Brazier, the Freshmen. Because of the new home room system the council, with the co-operation of the members of the Red Cross Council and the teachers, was able to carry out its annual Thanksgiving charities more effectively than ever before. It was estimated that enough food was collected from the thirty-one home rooms to keep the same number of families for a week or more. In addition to the opportune help it gave those needy families, the members of the council were able to get some idea of the activities of the Charity Circle by working with its members in distributing the food. The first matinee dance of the school year was held in the gymnasium under the auspices of the Girls’ Council. The proceeds were used to buy glasses and secure dental care for those students who needed financial assistance. One Hundred Two TOP ROW-—Martha Ann Abbott. Marian Loeb, Lucille Rlbordy.

The active 4-H work will begin June 8 when both grade and high school students will be eligible. The club meetings will be held hereafter in the high school auditorium and will meet every two weeks. Gertrude Ribordv was elected president; Lucille Ribordy, vice-president; Irene Pankowski, secretary. The sponsor is Miss Red ford. The summer work includes cooking, sewing, baking and canning. The club derived its name from the initials of head meaning clear think- ing, the heart meaning greater loyalty, the hand meaning larger service and health for better living.

The Entre Nous Club Membership in the Entre Nous is open to all students enrolled in the two- semester course for library assistants, to former assistants, also to any students helping in the library without credit. Meetings followed by a social hour arc held after school on alternate Thursdays and consist of a program on some phase of library work. This year each member assumed responsibility for preparing one program. Outside speakers included Miss Bernice Dunlap, who spoke on “Illustrators;” Miss Maxwell, who talked on “The Place of Magazines in the Library;” Miss Ruth Keithline, who spoke about “Traveling Libraries.” This organization has definitely stimulated interest in librarianship as a profession, and has given to the members a broader view of the resources of a library, and through them, to other high school students. Ofiicers: Catherine Stewart, president; Margaret Porter, secretary; Gordon Lee, corresponding secretary. One Hundred Knur TOP ROW -Roy Hanson, Norman Wendt, Ralph Lfndgren. lOmma Ploehn, Mrs. Krider.

Library Council The Library Council, a new organization this year, was formed to promote co-operation between the library and the student body. The membership is composed of a representative from each home room. Meetings arc held each Friday morning. The activities of this group have been varied. They have put magazines into circulation and introduced new books to the student body. The ivy plant, hanging in the center window of the library, was procured by one of the council committees. During Book Week in November a play, coached by the members, was presented before the school assembly. The “News Noser” the council paper is published by a staff elected from the council membership. The paper is a mimeographed sheet which is dis- tributed to the home rooms every two weeks. It gives publicity to new books, literary news in general and library activities. Jokes and illustrations are added to make it interesting. This is the most important activity of the council. OFFICERS First Semester Maxine Ray ................... Lucille Andreano .............

Industrial Arts Club The Industrial Arts club is an organization of students who arc taking some type of industrial work. The fundamental purpose of the club is to bring before its members technical information of general interest, to visit industrial plants, and to promote interest in engineering and vocational courses. The club is known as the LaPorte High School Industrial Arts club. The club is further divided into three clubs, which represent the three de- partments; namely, Metal Craft, Drafting, and Wood Craft. Each department has its officers, a president, two vice-presidents, secretary, and treasurer. Each department club meets every two weeks in its department at which time they have programs pertaining to their field. The club as a whole has one meeting each month, at which time a program is given. The club has planned a visit to some industrial plant in April. The club will sponsor a trip to the Purdue Round-up which is held every year for the boys taking industrial work in Indiana. Boys of the three clubs have been selling refreshments at the various athletic events. This money will be used to help to pay the expense of the Purdue Round-up. Mr. J. M. Smith is sponsor of the Metal Craft club, Mr. H. W. Schulze of the Drafting club, and Mr. E. E. Hobbs of the Wood Craft club. The Industrial Arts club is sponsored by Cornelius Abbott, Director of V'ocational Education; he is assisted by the sponsors of the three department clubs. The business of the club is transacted by the Industrial Arts Council, which consists of the sponsors and the officers of the department clubs. This council is assisted by various committees.

Le Cercle Francais Shortly after the beginning of the second semester of this school year, several students interested in French met with Miss Dorothy Dick, French teacher, and promoted the organization of a club. A constitution was drawn up and the officers elected were as follows: Marjorie LeRcsche, president; William Von Osinski, vice-president; LaDonna Abele, secretary-treasurer. The purpose of Le Cercle Francais is to study France, the French people and their customs, and to further the ability of its members to speak French. The membership is limited to thirty and admission to the club is based on the amount of French one has had and his present scholastic standing. Among the programs this year was a talk on Paris by Mrs. Alice Winn and the preparation and presentation of a play based on the story of Goldilocks. At one meeting French games were played. Le Cercle Francais is as entertaining as it is instructive and the French students hope to make membership in it an interesting and much desired privilege and pleasure.

There were eleven contestants in Division I, two in Division II and two in Division IV. 'Phe winners were: Division 1, Helen Vast and Elsie Pearson; Division II. Marion Loeb and Marcelle Winner; Division IV, Marian Bull and Lucille Procter. 'Phose six were participants in the county contest held February 28, 1931 at LaPorte. Other schools entering were Rolling Prairie, Wcstville and Hanna. The winners in the county were the same as those named above. Mrs. Russell acted as county chairman. As victors of the County contest these six went to Bourbon, Indiana on March 21, 1931. Of four possible winners from District I hirteen, LaPorte had two, Helen Yast in Division 1 and Marion Bull in Division IV. Other entrants from LaPorte placed high also, all but one placing fourth or higher. These victorious ones tried their skill at Bloomington, Indiana on April 3. 1931. They were not fortunate enough to bring home any medals, but both made fourth place in the State contest. One Hundred Eight Oratory and Public Discussion The La Porte High School representative in the State Oratorical contest was Gordon Lee. His six minute speech was on the difference between the state and national constitutions. This was lost at Michigan City on February 16th. Gordon also represented La Porte in Public Discussion having won the local contest against Arthur Russell and Enid Eddy. 'Flic subject for these speeches was the chain store. He was coached in both contests by Miss Eva Thompson. National Honor Society In the spring of 1930, the La Porte Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in LaPortc High School. The National Honor Society is an or- ganization sponsored by the Secondary School Principals' Association. Its aims arc “to create an enthusiasm for scolarship, to stimulate a desire to render ser- vice, to promote leadership and to develop character in the students of American secondary schools.” Candidates eligible to election in the chapter must stand in the first third of their respective classes in scholarship. Not more than fifteen per cent of any 12A class may be elected to membership, not more than five per cent of the 11A class may be elected during the sixth semester and not more than ten per cent of the 12B class before the end of the seventh semester. Election of members to the chapter is by a council composed of the prin- cipal and six teachers selected by him. There is a possibility that a Junior Honor Society may be organized some time in the near future. Election to it will not necessarily insure election to the senior society, but it will give a basic group from which members to the other may be chosen. Election to the National Honor Society is the highest honor a high school can bestow upon its pupils. The first group elected to the La Porte Chapter is as follows: Dorothy Hay, Mary Louise Decker, Florence Palm, Howard Swanson. Robert Heider, Miriam Beall, Elizabeth Ebert, Mary K. Fitzsimmons, Eleanor Marinello, Frances Samp- son, Elva Kemp, Charles Mainland, Hazel Wegner, Robert Fargher, Wilbur Petering, Muriel Rambo.

He was THOMPSON who had won the coast to coast championship as a champion WALKER. DICK also liked to WALK but preferred the VAWTER. So DICK se- cured passage on the good ship DAVIS-JONES. Unfortunately, however, he came under the influence of bad companions and when they had been out ABBOT ten days, he was taken into a plot in which he HUDDLES-TON after ton of BROWN wood, which had been stolen from the FORREST, into the ship, and which was to be sold as soon as they reached the first port. He had to HYDE it very carefully and BEABOUT often to see that the sharp eyes of the captain would not discover it. Captain SCHULZE became MOORE and MOORE suspicious of the queer actions of the men. One day while DICK and his co-conspirator (BEES) LEE were looking over the wood they heard a slight RUSSELL. “LE(e)-ITZ-(a)MAN!” whispered DICK, ANDREW his gun. But alas! It was empty! They were desperate and with one leap were over the side of the ship. Captain SCHULZE KRIDE(R) AULT! AULT!” You OL’ SON-of-a-gun!” but to no avail. “You SMITH(ed) them, lisped the Captain’s lieutenant after BENN-ETTempted to use a rifle. The escaped men swam to shore, jumped into their BEDFORD which they had purchased from SEARS (roe) BUCK and Co., and drove to the FRENCH border shouting Vive La FRANTZ! Announcements For February 30, 1931 Maxine R. Ray and John Q. Ray wish to announce jointly and in public, that they are not even remotely related. A good suggestion was made in the office this morning, and thinking you would realize its great value, we pass it on to you—Why not mark the date due on pencils loaned to certain people? Mr. French says he will be glad to entertain all suggestions as to how this school should be run. He has already accepted Babe Bird’s plan for a live-hour day and Bob Harris’ revolutionizing ideas on conducting English classes. Charles Ewart and Fred Wood have received a charter and wish to announce that they now have a monopoly on the end of the hall, which is occupied by lockers number 377 and 376. Committee No. 369% will meet in room 307 to discuss the question: Resolved, “Should Rudy Gnatt. alias “The Great Dane.” give more girls in this school a break?” The affirmative is composed of Rose Bunce, Helen Mueller and Blackie Cloutier, while Bob McCarty, Bud Jonas and Joe Burden compose the negative team. Students have been repeatedly warned not to chew gum until entering the building. We have received complaints from persons residing near the school— they do not like to have gum thrown on their front steps and porches.

One Hundred Twenty-three How To Behave When Eating Out After much thought. Myron Cory and Babe Bird have decided to publish this treatise which should prove of immense value to all who consider good manners an essential. This entailed three months, fourteen days, sixty hours. 280 minutes and 1,375 seconds of detailed research work in such cultured countries as India, Abys- sinia, Ethiopia and British Somaliland. Here are the rules just as Myron and Babe compiled them for you: Kules for Use in the Home 1. When the hostess announces dinner, don’t wait—rush in, grab a chair and start eating at once. (Herman Middleton thinks this rule is especially good.) 2. If you don’t like the food, feel free to tell the hostess and demand she get you what you want. This creates that at home feeling. 3. If they serve coffee, demand tea; and if tea, ask for coffee—remember the hostess is always glad to oblige. (F'rank Flentye has been quoted as saying, “I always demand milk. ) 4. Always leave as soon as you are through eating—you must remember the hostess is anxiously waiting for you to go so she can wash her dishes. (Dave Ward says this has always been his motto.)
