Vke 1939 f orte, Snell ncuana Volume Nineteen Nineteen Hundred Thirty-nine p ENGTHENING shadows oi oC a winter’s evening fall on the majestic and dignified en- trance to La Porte High School. , ) EAUTIFUL in appearance and competent in its work, La Porte High School is truly worthy of the pride its many students and graduates take in it. We have come here day after day for instruction and advice that will enable us to live our lives to their fullest extent, and we have never been disappointed. Thoroughly democratic in its views, our high school has one of the most enviable reputations for competence and sportsmanship to be found anywhere in Indiana. , j O MATTER how far a person might travel, it would be hard to find a more ' charmingly beautiful or a more friendly city than La Porte. Its tranquil beauty belies the progressive spirit that characterizes it. Its streets, lined with majestic trees, offer a truly lovely and inspiring scene. Recreational spots are to be found at its many lakes and its parks and playgrounds. Noted for its art and music. La Porte is also prominent as an industrial center that offers great opportunity to many graduating seniors. We are indeed proud of La Porte. J HE sparkling lights shine through the darkness, cast- ing fantastic shadows on the Civic Auditorium. a man is of serving profits himself and dddivard _ -d)tl an son Distinguished by his years of service to L P. H. S. and possessed of great understanding and competence, Mr. French has done much to further the reputation this institution holds among all the schools in Indiana. It was through his efforts and his broad vision of life that our school has achieved the standing of one of the linest in the state. His vision, his clear thinking, and his ability to put thought into action make him a man we are indeed fortunate to have as our principal. Each of the members of the school board has been an occupant of his respec- tive position for several years and has served competently. Ever willing to accept new ideas that will be for the good of the school, they have been a material factor in the progress of La Porte High School. Their aim is to maintain a thoroughly modern and efficient school and equip it with capable leaders. They have succeeded extraordinarily well as is shown by the high standing that La Porte holds among Indiana high schools. Left to right: Mr. A. T. Dester, secretary Dr. F. E.

It is they who work so diligently writing pass slips, filling absence cards, and posting failure notices. Their watchful vigilance keeps the detention hall functioning. Their love of the artistic leads them to decorate our carefully executed themes with various shades of red. Much to the dismay of many of the brethren, the teachers are essentially honest, and not even the brightest red apple will cause them to stray from the straight and narrow and forget to bestow one of those beautiful blue papers at the middle of the term upon the privileged person. They are loyal subscribers to every worthy cause that sprouts from the fertile minds within the school. They cheerfully guard the doorways at our high school dances and occasionally manage to slip in a sprightly fox trot. Our hearts go out to them, our dear teachers O. D.

They are the editors of that great high school publication—the daily bulletin. They are the efficient nurses who soothe the stage fright of the chosen who give command performances before the heads of our school. They graciously preside over the counter of our own book store. We also have a kind friend who calls us up when we are not in school to inquire about our health. If we are not in school or in bed, she calls us in for a nice quiet chat. Then, too, we have the school nurse. She is the lady in blue who says comforting things to us while she pokes an inquiring stick deep into the region of our tonsils. We must mention the janitors. They are the kindly souls who roam the halls armed to the teeth with brooms and dust pans. They have the pleasure of reading the notes of the lovelorn that find their way into the waste baskets and of removing gum concealed under desks. MRS. LOLA R.

Even though we had our doubts as we passed through our first year, we can now brag of the knowledge we brought into this school as freshies and which previous seniors had not taken away. That first year we went dizzily through weeks of comparative freedom, staring at room numbers and taking our work plumb serious —but we survived in fine style. We had our first taste of social life when we made our debut at the Mixer, then rapidly we turned from one activity to another: we furnished the background for the Mikado; we filled in the band and orchestra, joined the Fighting Fifty (or should we admit it?); entered the algebra and geometry contests; and—last but not least—joined the cram sessions held every six weeks, after which time results were turned in by the teachers.......During our second year, not content to be sitting in the limelight for long, we branched out on a road never before explored by a sophomore class—that of sponsoring a dance. At the Sophomore Swing Out, only sophomores, silly souls, were seen swinging, sway- ing, swirling to saxy strains and appreciating the white picket fences and park benches. It brought experience in making artificial apple blossoms anyway, if not in entertaining crowds and handling money. But a bake sale soon had us dancing again at the seniors' dances (every Friday night in our squeaky, cozy gym—remember?). Initiation of our Girl Reserves and Hi-Y boys left an unforgettable impression upon our memories and, New Years or no New Years, we resolved to do a little revenging ourselves when we could hold the paddle and cold cream. And as for the music contests—during the district band contest, we assisted nobly by doing some expert flirting (three ways at once); and we threw out our chests and wore beaming smiles for a solid week when the orchestra received first Division ranking at the National Contest.The Thanksgiving Dance, complete with brittle fall leaves and corn stalks, started our junior year off nicely; and it was during this same season of the year that Elmer Slicer was brought into being. Dear little Elmer—who watched us experi- ment with activity tickets for the first time, beat Mishawaka for the first time, do the Big Apple for the first time. We attended the first P. T. A. New Year's Dance held at the Civic Auditorium so our mothers' and fathers' children would have a safe and sane evening. The Spring Fever came pretty early that year—for in April our junior play by the same name really put us into the mood for such blarney, and we had quite a string of romantic looking couples strolling around school. Then, too, the Prom was rolling around; and no stags were allowed—with the exception of the seven dwarfs! We really made L. P. H. S. Snow White and dwarf conscious! The dwarfs were our banquet speakers; Snow White posed for our Prom programs; her wishing well and magic mirror graced the west end of the softly lighted dance floor, and tree after tree from her own forest surrounded the dancers during the entire evening..Senior year—the worms have now turned! We're the tops, supposedly, as a new trophy case, a new auditorium curtain, and two new clubs (mostly Rats and Axes) have joined our ranks. The senior vocational meetings, our after-game dances in the Civic for the first time, going to exciting basketball semi-finals, and the Spring Dance, the last reunion set to music before the Prom, should all bring back fond memories to you, too. We feel, however, that a grave mistake has been made in naming our play Growing Pains . Seniors no longer consider themselves as having growing pains, and we suggest renaming it That Tired Feeling and we're sure any senior knows what we mean. But all this reminis- cing must stop, for we have made our dent and we must now prepare ourselves to again enroll as freshies in the school of life. This means locks turned in, books sold, baccalaureate, class day, diplomas, and El-Pe. Yes, Sir! We're a self made class—and from now on we'll spend our time worshipping our creator!!!

Page thirty-five From 1900 up to 1919 progressive high schools all over the country were organizing local clubs to give some recognition to superior students. In 1919 a committee of high school principals was appointed at the National Association of Secondary School principals to investigate the advisability of a national organization and, upon the committee's favorable report in 1921, a constitution for the National Honor Society was adopted by the Association. In the spring of 1930 the La Porte Chapter of the Society was organized in La Porte High School for the purpose of creating an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. To be selected as a member of the National Honor Society is the highest honor which a senior boy or girl of L. P. H. S. can attain. In March of this year a list of all senior students standing in the upper one-third of their class in scholarship was submitted to the whole faculty to be checked on leadership, service, and character. The resulting rankings were then submitted to a faculty committee which made the final decision as to the eligibility of any student for member- ship and initiation ceremonies were then held before the high school assembly. Mr. Hyde is faculty sponsor. Page thirty-six First Row: Nancy Atkinson; Eugene Bailey; Ray Bartholomew, John Berker; Jack Byrne, Joan Cook; Howard Diesslin; Robert Droege. Second Row.

When the third year of school rolls around, he begins to think of the future and looks for honors and positions of responsibility to fill up space under his name when he achieves that goal of goals and is a SENIOR. He assumes a dignified expression and bestows a condescending smile on those below him. If he occasionally steals a longing glance at his superiors, the seniors, he will not admit it. But in spite of their would-be sophistication, juniors do good work, and we find the Class of 1940 has helpful fingers in every social pie in high school. To this class falls the honor of putting on that appetizer for the holiday season, the Thanksgiving Dance. During this year the class gets to don wigs and smear grease paint over their faces and present that classic of all classics, the Junior Play. Also this year, the rest of the school finally admits that the student has grown up sufficiently to have a little sense and lets the Junior Class put on the Prom and the Prom Banquet, the most glamorous affair of the year.

Second year students are subject to attacks of a common disease known as sophomoritis. The symptoms of this disease are: a severe swelling of the head, a desire to know as many seniors as possible, a sudden interest in dances, a desire to impress the incoming freshmen, and to avoid learning as much as possible. Some attacks are very severe and last throughout the rest of the school year, others assume the proportions of only a temporary ailment and are accompanied by a speedy recovery. However, there are many who have survived the effects of this ailment, of whom we are justly proud. Officers: President. George Link; Vice President, Harry Lenard; Secretary- Treasurer, Carl Million.

The first week you see them sneaking around corners, blundering into the sanctuaries of the seniors, and buying assembly tickets. You see them trying to select classes and finally giving up in despair. One and all decide to end it all by drawing their subjects out of a hat. Each freshman boy who does not have flat feet or mumps is faced with the pleasant opportunity of working out in the gym twice a week. As for the girls, they get to trick themselves out in cute little rompers and give the old gym clock the pleasure of watching them go through various gymnastic exercises. After and if they survive the first semester, there's no holding them down. Bless the freshmen! This year's freshman class has taken time out from their bugs and algebra to sponsor a Freshman Frolic, in order to get better acquainted with themselves, and a Freshman Tea, to acquaint the mothers of the class with the high school system and the teachers who instruct their suddenly grownup darlings. Officers: President, James King; Vice President, Pauline McKee; Secretary- Treasurer, Shirley Reinholdt.

Pop M£m te� � m They never play in the game . . . their names never appear in the headlines for having made a 50-yard run, or so many points from the foul line . . . they are unsung and unheralded heroes of every game because they never give up thinking that the game might be won. You will find them at every game giving the old ‘Hello Opponent” and without them a team would be lost. Ordun, Elshire, and Travis, picked by the student body by ballot, have brought forth some of the greatest pep ovations that have ever been recorded by the student body in many a year. They were the wildly gesticu- lating. dancing figures in the foreground at all our athletic events—pleading with the too-often apathetic listeners for booming, crashing yells, for encouragement which would send our teams on to victory. Presented to the High School last year by the El-Pe staff of 1938, was the character, Elmer Slicer. He encouraged the boisterous yelling that was given at all pep sessions. At out of town games as well as home games, Elmer was present. He was emblematical of the school's spirit. AXE CLUB Top Row. Jim Travis; Bob Parker.

It Can Happen Here.” Seen at every athletic event, clothed in striking orange jackets are the members of the Axe and Slicerettes. They deserve the greatest credit we can give to them for the splendid manner in which they handled the football and basketball games and the cheering at the pep sessions. They have concentrated the cheering body and made cheering mean something more to the players than just a conglomeration of unknown noises.

This year found La Porte looking for a new basketball coach and La Porte was doubtful. We needed a man who knew the game, who could guide players, train new talent and develop character. And then, one day an energetic man made his appearance before assembly. He was introduced as Mr. lack Steward, our new coach......He was handed a team that was not too well qualified for a state title, in fact, very few players had previous varsity experience And then Coach Steward went to work with a determination to produce a team of which La Porte could be justly proud. At first the going was rather rough. That was while the coach was learning to know his men. Several times La Porte was beaten by one or two points. Then it happened! The knowledge and generalship of this new coach began to show itself and La Porte could not be stopped short of the state semi-finals. In lack Steward, La Porte has found everything for which it had been looking. Coach Steward was ably assisted by another young master-mind in the art of basket-shooting. Coach Blanda, a former Slicer star. It is little wonder that La Porte had such a great team with coaches like these to lead them. Then there is Don Ordun, the student manager and possibly the busiest mem- ber of the squad. It was up to Don to attend to all equipment and perform a hundred other duties that made him indispensable to the team. Page sixty-eight The La Porte Slicers' basketball season will be one long remembered by every student in the school. The Slicers lost 13 out of 20 games, four of them by only one point. The out- standing victory was won over South Bend Central, Conference leaders. After that game La Porte was rated as the tenth team in the state. Then came the Sectional, but that was breeze for the Slicers for they won every game by at least ten points. Then came the Regional. It was La Porte as a city, backing the Slicers at Gary! The Slicers definitely were not supposed to reach first base, but ig- nored the form sheet by easily thumping Hammond. 27-20, and then taking Rensselaer in stride, 40-34. This was the first time La Porte had won a Regional in seven years. Then at the Semi-finals, La Porte gave Frankfort the scare of its life in the opening tourney game, pulling to within one point of the Hot Dogs twice in the second period and losing only because of weaknesses at the free throw line. Congratulations to Coach Steward and the Slicer basketball team for playing some of the finest ball that was ever seen around Northern Indi- ana, and the finest sportsmanship that was carried through the '38-'39 basketball season! AURENCE MANSFIELD When Lawrny went on a rampage using his famous jinny shot he became a thorn in an opponent's side. He'll be a valuable man next year.................

The children were allowed to have a party where the professor and his wife attempted to eliminate from the picture the present-day dissipations with more or less success. The McIntyre family was composed of Helen Link, Jack Hansen, Bill Pahrman, and Marceile Jones. Their acquaintances (the children's) were Henry Martin, Bob Cutler, Joan Cook, Elizabeth Klimko, Mar- guerite Rosenberg, Lillian Rogoski, Janet Silverstorf, Carl Foster, Peggy Ewart, and Arthur Griffith. Character parts were taken by Vivian McCorkel, Olivebelle Nichols, and Jim Swanson. BEGINNERS' LUCK” Four girls starving in the proverbial garret, conniving to attain important contacts, falling in love, penny-pinching and sending glorious-triumph stories back to the home-town from which they came, all of these form the background for this year's Junior play, Beginners' Luck”. Elizabeth Semans, as a girl with operatic ambitions, Alene Gartner, as an aspiring young novelist; Marjory Nel- son, who wants to be an actress, and Jean Bowman, a would-be painter, as the four girls, with Ray Purinton, an art student; Joe Rose, a young writer, Charles Beal, a philanthropist, Bill Boardman, an Italian street musician; Geraldine Post, the landlady; Carl Million, an actor of the old school; Eleanor Krueger, society editor of The Falls City Echo” (the hometown newspaper); Sara Schurz, of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Carl Beblavi, of the Madison Art Gallery; Bernice Kanney, a literary agent; Bob Bachmann, a Russian theatrical director, com- posed the cast.

All rules are originated there, all cases tried, and all problems are brought there to be solved, if possible. The elected officers are President, Vice- President, Secretary of the Council, fudge of Lower Court and Judge of Upper Court, Marshall and Clerk. The bulk of the work, however, is done by the committees. There is one for Programs, Pep Sessions. P. T. A., Social, Traffic, and Courts. ludent Conrl Oj fUndor, Forced to base this article on one visit to the student court we will attempt to give an accurate account of the proceedings. Timidly, awe-stricken, expect- ing something great, we entered into the place spoken of only in whispers, and were immediately overcome by the underwhelming indignity of the proceed- ings. The Honorable fudge pounded mightily with his fist for order. The prose- cuting attorney was appointed from the audience. The jury was hung and the trial postponed until the next court session. Cooperating with the court system is the student monitor system. It is grow- ing increasingly efficient. The student court and monitor system are potentially capable of serving the democratic ideal and some conscientious effort has been made in that direction. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Fourth Row J.

The club is democratic insofar that there are no requirements for membership other than the girls be in the tenth, eleventh, or twelfth years of school. To supplement the membership drive in the fall, there is a Get- together. The cabinet is composed of seven senior girls, the seven highest as selected from the popular vote of the group. Then there is the informal and formal initiation. The latter is held in one of the local churches and is an impressive occasion for all concerned, thus incorporat- ing an element of religion into the club. On the other hand there is the informal initiation which is humorous to the student body, but sometimes results in embarrassing situations for the initiates. However, they all took it in the spirit of fun and sport in which it was intended. With an enrollment of about two GIRL RESERVES Fifth Row: R. DeHaan; J. Bowman; B. Hogue; E. Marshall; M. Wilhelm; B.

Their activities have included: a club supper with a theater party following; the annual Christmas dance, the Christmas tree donated to the school by the club, the Mothers and Daughters Banquet at which rings were awarded to those industrious girls who by their perseverance and willingness to serve had acquired the necessary number of points. In spite of all these social events, they were not so busy as to neglect their welfare work. Baskets were sent to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. Also, clothes were provided for some needy children. The Chairman of the club's Welfare Committee is a member of the La Porte Health Council. Repre- sentatives attended conferences at Northern Indiana and South Bend. Plans were made to send a representative to Camp Tecumseh at Delphi, Indiana, this summer.

Combined with other glee clubs and musical organi- zations in La Porte Schools, the chorus totaled about one hundred and fifty. Yearly, the high point in the musical season for the glee clubs is the presenta- tion of the opera. Gilbert and Sullivan's operas have been the popular favorites for some time. This year the club presented the “Pirates of Penzance”. The leads are generally chosen from the A Cappella chorus while the boys' and girls' glee clubs constitute the main chorus. The elaborate costuming and the scenery lent the opera an air of professionalism. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Fourth Row: E. Povlock; D Brown; E Krueger; 0. Miller, M Rosen- baum; M. Laymon; 0 Stodcr; V.

Robed in black, the A Cappella this year is composed of about forty-eight members. In October they sang at the Teachers' Association at North Central in South Bend. They were also on the Christmas carol program held here in the high school auditorium. They rendered some vocal numbers on the Founder's Day program and for the Civic Chorus, under the splendid guidance of Mrs. Lola Vawter. The Boys' Glee Club is a very outstanding organization in this school, but we do not know for what. It has been rumored that they joined the Girls' Glee Club in singing at the Spring Festival at the Civic Auditorium. When approached the members were rather reticent about mentioning their prowess. However, the boys did their part in the presentation of the Pirates of Penzance and many of them belong to the A Cappella choir. A CAPPELLA Fourth Row: B. Heise; R.

They work in the industries of La Porte for a period of two weeks and then return to school for two weeks. They work and earn while they learn. The Co-op boys have formed their club and have their own club sweaters and emblems. Co-ops will have upon graduation the essential thing employers demand — experience. Mr. Schulze is industrial coordinator. fcfifle CLl President—Betty Hyde Vice-President—Darrell Spaid Secretary-Treasurer—Bob Gregory For those students of La Porte High School who don’t get enough '’Bang'' out of life there is the Rifle Club.

Having been organized late in the year, the club has not com- peted with any other archery clubs in shooting any apples from the heads of teammates. Miss Olson is Chief of this new organization. Senior ScouLi This newly organized troop started off the year with a bang directing traffic at football games and ushering at the Civic. They furnished a club room and under the inspirational leadership of Satch Ordun and Goober” Hanson developed the best poker players in high school. They are shown here as they would look around a campfire, with Mr. Smith, their sponsor.

Stuff SENIOR JUNIOR Jeanne Moss, Editor Joe Scholl Martha Kaber, Assistant Editor Maxine Shirkey Howard Schmitt, Business Manager Carl Foster Joan Cook Bob Rhodehamel Bob Schmidt Don Sutherland Betty Stewart As this year's work on the El-Pe is finished, the staff members experience a feeling of sadness mingled with relief. For those who are to go on with the work next year, no doubt the prospect of having an opportunity to put their ideas into a new book is a pleasant one. But for those who, with the completion of this volume, write finis to El-Pe life and the happy associations it has brought, regret and sadness crowd out all other emotions. Regardless of the success of the book from the viewpoint of the students and the faculty, the values attached to serv- ing on the staff are immeasurable—experience gained, friendships formed, and the satisfaction of having served, in this small way, one's fellow students. Without the inspiring influence, and never tiring energy of our editor, the unflagging interest of Mr. Vern Compton, who took many of the pictures, and without the constant cooperation of the faculty adviser and junior staff the publi- cation of this volume would not have been possible.
