La Porte High School - El Pe Yearbook (La Porte, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1940 volume:

The Maple Leaf Edition LAPORTE HIGH SCHOOL, LAPORTE, IND. £aLutz {Ufl£ dl ldflCs, LaPorte High School is an institu- tution blessed far beyond many of her sister houses of learning. Her setting amid the tall Maple trees of the beautiful Maple City has given her grace and dignity. Her splendid leadership has lifted her to heights of achievement in many fields. She has in John M. French a prin- cipal who is sympathetic and pro- gressive. Her capable superin- tendent Wendell R. Godwin has guided by intelligent leadership and inspired by his warm appre- ciation. Dr. G. O. Larson, Ben C. Rees, and Dr. F. E. Freeman, her board of education, have persist- ently worked for those things that would make it possible for her students to leave her doors well equipped for their future experi- ences in life. In presenting this El-Pe for 1940. we wish to honor the Maple Leaf, symbol of our city and our achievement, and to give thanks and credit to our leadership. C. C. Steward zmoxuun C. C. STEWARD We shall long remember Coach lack Steward whose sudden and un- expected death occurred on October 24, 1939. Within one short year he made for himself a permanent place in our memories. When we think of him we shall always be reminded of a man of sincerity, friendliness, and good sportsmanship. It is men of Coach Steward's calibre that we can least afford to lose. BETTY ZAHRT The entire school was saddened by the news of the death on September 28, 1939, of Betty Zahrt. Betty was an agreeable, friendly, ambitious girl who was liked by her friends. We especially admire her for her bravery and composure in the face of danger and for her unselfishness. She has been an inspiration to many of us. Oh, and did you hear . . .? Now, when I was in school ... This is where it started. Hit it on the down beat. I wonder who is making that noise. The voca- tional department concentrates on a problem. We have artists too.

Sometimes, perhaps, we have been tempted to think that a school building would be a rather nice place in which to live if it were not for the teach- ers. What a time we would have with our notes, talking, chewing gum, and paper air- planes. But when we think seriously, we realize that these creatures, at times so strict and compelling, are really among our best friends. After four years of high school we see that they have been valuable to us in many ways. Our teachers have made important contributions to our personalities They have guid- ed us through four years of learning. They have advised us on our courses, taught our classes, graded our papers, and answered our questions. They have helped us greatly to in- crease our store of knowledge. They have taught us discipline and self-control. They have deepened our horizons, broad- ened our understandings, wid- ened our interests, raised our ideals, and stirred our ambi- tions. They have given many hours of time to our extra-cur- ricular activities. They have sponsored our clubs, and so RUTH HUDDLESTON Typewriting. Junior Businosa Training, Sponsor of Girl Reserves.

They have accompanied us on trips. They have advised our committees. They have been officials at our contests, chaperones at our dances, and policemen and ticket-takers at our games. They have directed our plays and coached us for our competitions. And with all these fine con- tributions, they have also giv- en us A's and F's. They have made us talk when we wanted to sleep and occasionally have put us to sleep when we want- ed to talk. They have given us compliments and failing slips. They have sent us to detention hall and even to the office. They have intercepted our notes and confiscated our chew- ing gum and marbles. And sometimes they have even shut their eyes on our misdemean- ors and have permitted us to come from some adventure un- scathed. These teachers have been our guides for four of the most important years of our lives. They have tried to do what they thought was best for us. The effects of their efforts can never be erased. We hope that their guidance has been wise. Do you remember the gallant behavior of Professor Slopes when a lady fainted? Is it scorched girls? Let me see that pass!

S 4 Four years (five for some) have passed since this class of '40 first entered high school. There really isn't much use in going over the many accomplishments of this class. There isn't much use in trying to show the underclassmen what a smart group of graduating seniors these people are. It's all self-evident. If you don't believe us, ask any senior. Here are some ways in which this class is outstanding. Did you ever see a larger group of students who could write a term paper without reading a book, that could sneak by a monitor and not get caught, that could plead not guilty in court and get away free when everyone in school saw him sliding down that bannister? And have you seen any other class that has won more honors in scholarship, debating, commerce, music, athletics, and other fields? At any rate a large group of future voters are moving out into the world. When we look at the people who are successful, we feel that there's a chance for these seniors.

Now that we've gotten rid of the seniors, let's take a look at what's in store for the juniors. About all this class needs to become as great as the last senior class is one year's growth—physically and mentally. With a year's development thoroughly chewed and digested we will, in all probability, see a good senior class next year. In order for this class to be up to par. they should follow the example set for them by the last senior class. Here are some rules for them: (1) Eat Wheaties every morning. (2) Don't ever chew gum in school. (3) Never yawn in class. (4) Never have more than one date a week. (5) Get to bed by 8:30 every night. (6) Prepare your lessons fully and have them in on time. If the juniors will adopt these simple rules followed by the seniors, they will certainly become a fine, outstanding class. The officers of the junior class are: president, Eugene Chalik; vice-president, Walter Martinsen; secretary, Pat Glidden; and treasurer, Garnett Bormann. Since these persons are the ones to whom the class has looked for leadership, they are the ones who should take the lead in the aforesaid development of the class.

He is too old for the simple ways of the freshman and too young for the sophisticated (?) ways of the upperclass- man. He is like a pullet that has lost its coat of down and is waiting for the full- fledged feathers to arrive. Why is it that sophomore boys begin to comb their hair and even go so far as to wear a tie once in a while? No, they aren’t dressing for Sunday school. They've got a girl. For this is the age when young and tender love begins to ar- rive. Besides looking at the pretty girls, the sophomore is getting busy in all kinds of school activities, such as athletics, music, and clubs. The sophomore class officers are Mary Duchossois, president: Norman Lenick. vice-president; and Charles Lekher, secretary-treasurer. (46) irnzn FIRST ROW: Elsie Abraham. Margaret Akins.

Every year the lowly freshman takes a beating—not physically, but from the pages of the El-Pe, the Hi-Times, and the upperclassmen in general. This year the freshman class deserves a little praise. Did you know that not a freshman—not even ONE freshman—bought an elevator ticket? At last comes a class to our high school with brains enough to know that the elevator is a freight elevator, and that students aren't even allowed on it. Instead they wisely bought tickets to ride on the subway underneath the annex hall. Now, don't worry, freshmen. We do this every year. In three short years you will get to write about the freshman class too. Seriously, the freshmen have al- ready proved themselves to be of good caliber. When the time comes for them to lake the leading part in our school activities, they should be quite capable of car- rying on the traditions of L. P. H. S. The officers of the freshmen are: Bob Groman, president: Margaret Leets, vice- president; and Jayne Walton, secretary-treasurer. (52) { [ici- Ijsax ims.ii FIRST ROW: Nancy Andorson. Bottle Barnhart.

HONORS The senior class can well point with pride to her roster of 1939-1940 football stars. Bob Yelton was honored by selection to the All-State team. Those on the All-Con- ference team are Bob Yelton. Fred Bands and Bob Bachmann. The All-Conference Honorable Mention selections are Howard Lipstreu, Fred Buchner, and Dick Rootes. These brain and brawn boys have done well and here we do credit to them by quot- ing: Well done, my good and faithful servant. Well done.” DICK ROOTES BOB YELTON HAROLD HANSON FRED BANKS CASIM1R KUK ED LEVANDOSKI LETTER MEN FRED LINK HOWARD LiPSTREU BOB BACHMANN FRED BUCHNER GLENN RAMSDELL JOE SZYNAL LAWRENCE FREESE RALPH HOWES EARL PARKER PHILLIP PASSAFUME BILL GUELZO, Manager LEONARD STIMLEY LOUIS NEW Ufiz JootLxai[ cSeciioh The 1939 football team established a mark of success that exceeded by far the record of any previous team. The Slicers attained new heights under the tender (?) nurture, watchful eye, and skillful tutoring of Coach O. D. Edmonds. The La- Porte Slicers skillfully pounded out seven victories, dropped a hard-fought game to Elkhart for the only loss of the season, and held the Washington eleven of South Bend, rated the best team in the 1939 conference, to a 7 to 7 tie. Among the ac- complishments of the 1939 pigskin battlers was a 13 to 0 victory over Riley of South Bend. This was our first victory over Riley in eight years. After losing ten letter men by graduation, the Slicers' football future didn't seem a happy one; but as always new recruits appeared to fill the gaps, and in a very satisfactory manner at that. This year the team will lose Bob Bachmann, All- Conference fullback; Fred Banks, exceptional yard gainer; Stretch” Yelton, All- State end; Howard‘Lipstreu, a newcomer, but a worthy one; and Dick Rootes, veteran end. Coach Edmonds will have to organize an entirely new backfield next year. Among those returning next year are such valuable players as Waters, Stimely, Kuk, Chlebowski, H. Hanson, Link. Chalman, Lenard, along with several others. The senior class is proud to have had in their last year in LaPorte High School a football team such as this . Lest we forget, each of those boys on the team is out to do or die for old LaPorte High, and we feel it is our duty to support them in every possible way. Coach Edmonds has earned his laurels but is not content to rest upon them and has, by this token, led us to expect great things next year. Now we look ahead to new thrills, excitement, and more victory. LaPorte 18 13 . 7 14 32 7 43 25 31 THE SCHEDULE Opponents ............. Peru ............................0 ......

Anticipation and suspense fill the air. Suddenly the crowd rises to its feet. The team is on the floor. A cheer rends the air. A whistle blows, and the game is on. Our Slicere slash their way down the floor. Time after time the ball slips through the hoop to the accompaniment of cheers from the spectators. The Slicers are on their way to another victory. The basketball team this year was one that upheld very well the reputation of our school. In spite of the usual ups and downs the team played consistently good basketball. Not all of the games were won the easy way. Four of them were won in overtime periods. The Slicers showed the fight and the spirit that enabled them to come through even when the going was tough. Although the team was weakened by the loss of several of last year's stars, Coach Blanda was able to develop from the reserves such men as Smutzer, Link, Mansfield, Chlebowski, Allessee. and Bach. Adding these to Buchner, Funk, Par- ker, and Yelton produced a team of which we may justly feel proud. Of 27 games played during the season, the Slicers lost only 6.

They are an accepted part of every athletic event. In fact, so casually are they accepted that little thought is given to the real work behind cheer- leading. When one sees them leading the crowd in a crashing, booming yell, their spirit is contagious; they bubble with energy. At a time like that, one just does not realize that these wildly dancing puppets can have stiff sore muscles or be emotionally as well as physically worn out. They willingly, if not happily, accept the blame for pepless pep sessions. Heartbreaking moments in important games find them with cour- age high, always hoping for a break and pleading with the crowd not to let the boys down. Never giving up the idea that the game might be won, they are behind the team win, lose or draw. A crowd may have pep, enthusiasm, and vocal capacity, but without the inspired leadership of those unsung heroes of arena and field it will sulk in silence. But when Lois, Bill, and Gerry break loose with Let's have the old Locomotive! pandemonium breaks loose. There is nothing more inspiring to the man sweating on the field than the unified support of the crowd, and this unified support can only come through the efforts of efficient cheerleaders.

The first team, composed of such star debaters as Katherine Howes, lim Funk, George Link, and Ralph Howes, distinguished itself by winning the state championship in the State Dis- cussion League. The second team, of which Carl Foster, Mary Louise Henoch, Charles Yast, and Wesley Kiley are members, reached the semi-finals of the National Forensic League meet at Terre Haute. These honors are shared also by the other members of the debate squad. Though only the regular teams did the debating, the other members helped to analyze the ques- tion, to develop the arguments, to look up data, and in various other ways contributed to the success of the season.

Here are elected the president, vice-president, judge of the upper court, judge of 'lower court, and other officers.

Such a surprising bit of conversation might be heard between two Travel Club members on almost any day before the date of the meeting. Such a suggestion may seem incredible, but it is not impossible, for the next day we would actually find the members in mid-Pacific enjoying the salt spray and shivering at the water spouts. No, they are not there in person—they have been taken here by a movie, and are enjoying the experience almost as much as did the original traveler. Many vacation trips have been taken by the members of the Travel Club at their meetings during activity period. They have visited the Panama Canal, the New York World's Fair, and many other places of interest. The travels of the club this year have been conducted by Dick Ginther, presi- dent; Bob Hay, vice-president; and Garnett Bormann, secretary-treasurer. If any visitor should happen to see any beautiful ladies in blue, they are probably the members of the Girl Reserves wearing their new sweaters. The girls learn what to wear and how to wear it at the Style Show which is presented by the club each year in cooperation with LaPorte merchants. Around Christmas each year the Girl Reserve Dance is held, and each girl gets to invite her man of the moment. The big Christmas tree that decorates the gym- nasium for the dance is moved into the front main corridor after the dance so that it may be enjoyed by the entire school. Several social events are enjoyed by the girls during the year. The social activities are concluded with a mother-and-daughter banquet, at which meeting the officers for the coming year are elected. The cabinet for the present year has been composed of Charlotte Iselman, presi- dent; Jean Bowman, vice-president; Mary Helen McQuiston. secretary-treasurer; Ev- elyn Pahrman, welfare chairman; Jean Roberts, program chairman; Elaine Linde- wald. membership chairman; Elizabeth Semans, social chairman.

Some girls believe that a strike is really only a dream or that there are only a few lucky girls in the world anyway. It's really a disaopointment when one rolls a curved ball only to find that instead of getting a strike it's a gutter ball! The Lucky Strikers , led by Betty Stimley, won the club championship and re- ceived a plaque on which was placed the name of each member of the team. Later the entire club membership participated in a single league to determine the indi- vidual champion. FIRST ROW: Paulino Beemon. Mary Duchossois. Eileon Zees©.

They play musical instruments, sing solos, and perform in ensembles, duets, and quartetts. No, you haven't heard them in assembly or over the radio. But you can hear them every other Friday in Junior Amateur. The programs consist of vocal and instrumental numbers by members of the club. Usually a visiting artist is also present to add his part to the program. A regular feature of each meeting is a report by a member on some tonic of musical interes� . Officers are Pauline McKee, Marcia Bamum, and Norman Ganawer. FIRST ROW: Mario Smith. Alen Gartner Miriam French. Doris Haun. Paulin© McKoo. Jo© Rose. Marcia Bamum. Botty Phillies. Ch«ryle Curtis.

De- bates are carried on at some of the meetings, while other meetings are devoted to a report and discussion of magazine articles. Among the many questions dis- cussed have been the detecting of propaganda, cooperative hospitalization, and co- operative housing as developed in Europe and in America. Several members have taken trips to hear such speakers as Eleanor Roosevelt and Harold Ickes. Bob Miller, Jean Roberts, Ralph Howes.

Where's senior panel number 15? To an outsider these remarks might not have much meaning, but to one on the El-Pe staff their meaning was significant. Since nearly the beginning of the school year the staff has spent a good deal of time working, sweating, worrying, and even gossiping a little in the small room at the end of the hall on the third floor. Many afternoons after school and many Sat- urday afternoons, besides every sixth hour, have been spent there. This year's staff is composed of Ray Purinton, editor-in-chief; Bernadine Casey, assistant editor; Bill Guelzo, business manager; Norbert Cramer, assistant business manager; Jean Roberts, club editor; Beverly Garbett, art editor; Ralph Inger- soll, sports editor; Helen Betty Kanney, senior editor; and Carl Beblavi, snapshot edi- tor. The junior assistants are Pat Glidden. Elizabeth Marshall, Arvilla Johnson, and Dorothy Danruther. Mr. Ahrendt is the faculty adviser. cj-fi (y The Hi-Y Club is an organization with an ambitious purpose, for it seeks to create, maintain, and extend throughou the school and community high standards of Christian character. The club has tried in various ways to carry out its purpose this year. Its outstanding contribution was probably its Dime Line, maintained during the Christmas season. The proceeds from this project financed a Christmas party at which a large number of boys was given gifts of clothing and toys. The outstanding social event was the Hi-Y Dance on April 26 at the Country Club. Glen Ramsdell, president; Jim I-eahy, vice-president; Joe Rose, secretary; Bill Addington, treasurer; and Bill Burr, sergeant-at-arms, have been officers this year.

Thus goes a typical rehearsal of the glee clubs. Day after day our future Bing Crosbys and Kirsten Flagstads pour out their hearts over flowers, birds, love and sunsets. Every Wednesday the boys’ and girls' glee clubs form a mixed chorus. Warm- ing up on the simple do-me-sol’s, they are soon ready for serious singing. An important contribution of the glee clubs to the school each year is their assistance with the operetta. This year the clubs traveled to the Far East to give us a Japanese story entitled The Mikado. First Hour Girls' Glee Club Personnel FIRST ROW: Alien Mao Brown. Lucilio Wilkinson.

French is spoken at the meetings and French games are played. The members blend their voices in singing French songs, especially during the Christmas season. There is great excitement when a long awaited letter arrives from France, for everyone shares in the contents of the letters, the postcards, and in the photographs. A spring picnic is the only out-of-doors activity of the year. Each person rides a bicycle out to one of the lakes and roasts weiners over an open fire.

The Rifle Club does every Wed- nesday evening at the fire station under the sponsorship of Mr. Beabout. It is reported that the sound that the riflers themselves make combined with the rumble of the fire engines and the clang of the fire gong might sometimes make a listener think a revolution was going o :nside the fire house. This club has. among others, a mem1'''' of whom they can be justly proud. He is Bob Gregory, ranked as one of th-' best junior riflemen in the Middle West. Three members of the club were abl- to attain the honor of becoming members of the senior rifle club. They are Bob G '' orv. Charles Sigler, and Larry Rich- ardson. SITTING: Pat Gliddon, Hal Gliddon.

KATHERINE HOWES. MRS. LITTLE. GEORGE LINK. RALPH HOWES LaPorte High School is very proud of its varsity debate team composed of Jim Funk, Katherine Howes, George Link, and Ralph Howes, for this team won the state championship in debate in the State Discussion League meet. To win this honor for our school, it was necessary for the debate team to defeat teams from South Bend, Mishawaka, Knox, Terre Ha-ite, Elv ood, New Albany, and Shortridge of Indianapolis. This made them the survivor of about ninety teams that were en- tered in the district and state contests. This is the second time that LaPorte has won the State Discussion League championship. Hammond High School is the only other school to share this honor. This team won additional honors in the National Forensic Meet at Terre Haute by surviving seven of the ten rounds. When LaPorte was eliminated from the na- tional contest, only eight undefeated teams in the nation remaineed. Mrs. Little is the debate coach. James Leady won a state championship in original ora- tory at the state finals off the National Forensic League at Terre Haute. James' winning oration was entitled Youth and Democracy, and was first given by James in the Amer- ican Legion contest at Mishawaka. This was the first time that a L. P. H. S. student had been entered in solo speech events at the state contest. He was coached by Miss Hile. (94) (95) Lavorgne I. Lounsbury PONTIAC ENGRAVING COMPANY Chicago.
