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

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1942 volume:

School Song Hero's to our classes, here's to our lasses, Here's to the lads they adore; Here's to the seniors so mighty, Juniors some flighty, freshies, and sophomores. Let mirth and gladness banish all sadness. And as the days go by, We promise you'll find us ready, Earnest and steady Boosting for our Old High. Victory Song Rise, LaPorte High, while we raise your colored banners high, Sing, LaPorte High, while the echoes ringing shall reply. With a Yea Bo, Team we're right behind you. While you fight! Fight! Fight your way to victory. With a 1-2-3 Let's go, LaPorte High, while we raise our colored banners high. BOARD OF EDUCATION: Mr. Elwood Hahn, treasurer; Mr. W. R.

Its members not only make certain unassailable rules, but they also make such momentous decisions as to how much coal the school needs for each school year! Their aim is to maintain for the school high standards in modern equipment, leader- ship, and in scholastic attainments. Perhaps we students are a little in awe of the three who guide our destinies, but those of us who know them personally have found that they are quite human. Ranking with the Board of Education is the superintendent of schools, who for the past few years has been Wendell R. Godwin. Formerly principal of the junior high school, Mr. Godwin has proved his ability by the excellent supervision he has given to the school system; he has shown himself progressive and alert. Although he has little personal contact with us, he greets us with a pleasant smile whenever he meets us in the halls. Better known to the high school student body is the principal John M. French. There are probably very few of us who at one time or another have not been ushered into his auspicious inner office. Not all their conferences were of a favorable nature, but those that were did not usually terminate with more than a sentence to detention hall for several mornings. He has been the victim of many pranks this year, but through them all he has managed to help us find solutions to our many diversified problems. As principal, Mr. French has given much thought and effort toward establishing LaPortes high standing with other schools in the state. We believe that it was as a result of his success that he was made chairman of the State Activities Committee approving all contests and gatherings at which more than iwo schools convene. He is also the Indiana representative of a similar national committee. Added to this year's administrative offices is a psychologist. Dr. Leo Hauptrnan fills this position. Serving in a guidance capacity, he has studied the present methods of teach- ing here and made many helpful suggestions and criticisms. An equally important part of his work has been to make several talks to seniors and to supervise the senior aptitude tests. Last but not least are the nurse, the truant officer, and the office personnel. The nurse is always ready to help us out if we c«n find a legitimate reason for being excused from school. Her duties are not limited to high school activities alone. This year she was in charge of a school-wide program of small-pox vaccination. The office girls perform many favors for the students. They take care of our countless transactions such as activity tickets, work passes, and detention hall slips. Perhaps looked upon with the least favor is our truant officer, but this is only because of what we students consider her unpleasant duties. In reality she is liked by those who know her. Without realizing it, we students owe a great deal to them; for it is the nurse who sends us home, the office girls who approve the pass, and the truant officer who brings us back. RAY R. AGNES V.

However, strict as the rules and regulations are and as rigidly enforced as they are by the teachers, still La Porte High School is Home Sweet Home from 7:20 to 4 o'clock. The men and women striving to instill in us a little book lamin' have labored long and nobly. They have been not only our guides but have doubled as advisors, confessors, and companions and have helped in all ways to build our capacity for understanding. They have taught us the required courses, but more than that they have fostered our incli- nations and prepared us for later years by broadening our perspective of life. They have kindled the fire of ambition by a casual word of praise and have kept it burning contin- ually by constant encouragement. They have treated us as grownups and let us feel a little of the burden of responsibility that in later years we will have to shoulder. Their eternal vigilance has prevented many an unsuspecting student from enjoying an afternoon over a coke, and because of this the detention hall has never lacked occupants. The brightest smile accompanied with the well-polished apple has had but momentary success. Sighs may issue forth when the time comes to send out those reminders at mid-term; but even with bitter regret gnawing at their hearts, ther teachers go ahead—out go the slips. Their inherent artistic attitude has led us to dread the return of themes, and we wonder how any one group of people can posssess such an ample amount of grey mat- ter. They have sent us on periodical visits to the inner sanctum of the principal's office. At other times they have complacently let us get by with outrageous misdeeds. Worst of all they have consistently managed to interrupt our sleep for 38 weeks and al- ways when the hero was about to rescue the maid. They have greeted us at the entrance to the football and basketball games and demanded our tickets with an outstretched hand, and woe unto the one who should forget his precious bit of cardboard. However, they have at various times trusted our integrity and allowed us to pass the gate with a promise to bring the ticket on a Monday morning. They have increased our store of knowledge im- mensely but usually with only our passive consent. Yet they are ready to give added impetus to spur us on, extra advice to keep us forg- ing ahead, and timely council to smooth out encountered difficulties. Teaching is their job, but helping and counseling are the sidelines that overwhelm the other in importance. RUTH M. E.

Getting into the holiday spirit. Hear Underclassmen, It seems only yesterday that we were the newest crop of freshmen, green, shy. retiring, and meek. We were overawed by the seniors but the awe vanished the day that Miss Walk sighed to us about the senior love affairs. We dashed out the minute the bell rang to see if these mighty personages held hands. We labeled Miss Seaman's skeleton Oscar and Oswald and shuddered when we had to bring live grasshoppers to school. We weren't exactly dumb, but a few of us did hunt for the elevator. When the boys came to school with their curly locks plastered down, looking like some- thing out of a hair tonic ad. we discovered that we had taken our place as sophomores. The class was started up the ladder of success when we sponsored the Sophomore Hop. It was then that we started looking forward, not very eagerly, to the Hi-Y and Girl Reserve initiations. Luckily the school decided that initiations during school hours were taboo. Of course the hours after school were put to good use. What bewildered us most was how we could ever use geometry when, by now it looked like “if, we ever managed to graduate. Juniors at last, we began to lord it over the freshmen. The Thanksgiving Dance was ours to sponsor, and we aren't bragging when we admit that we did make more than any other class had previously. Then came the thrill of the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y formals. In the spring we determined to top the senior play performance with our play ''June Mad.” We messed up the dress rehearsal gloriously but got it in shape for the final night. Swelled up with pride, we played host to the seniors at the Prom Banquet. Everything was absolutely ship-shape. Our pilot, the first to represent the fairer sex, steered us on an enjoyable course. From that time forward our spare moments were occupied with plans for the Prom. The Civic was decorated within an ''inch of its life.'' After dancing our shoes through, we proceeded to the Country Club where we cavorted till the wee hours of the morn. We returned from a mad scramble of a summer to the envious ranks of seniors only to find that we didn't have time to enjoy ourselves. Everyone started collecting records like mad, and whether Glen Miller surpassed Tommy Dorsey was the leading question. We survived the rush and settled down to studying and more studying. In November we pranced out in our fineries to view the senior play and felt absolutely ancient when we saw some of our friends playing very grown-up parts in Another Spring. Time flew and all at once it was January and we had to cram like mad for the inevitable semester tests. It was a question of the survival of the fittest. One day we all started staring out the windows with glassy eyes; the first symptoms of spring fever had hit us. The Spring Dance committees tore their hair for ideas and at last thought of some fully worthy of seniors. Our last fling in school was Class Day. Well, we tried to please everybody. It's all over; the school days which we professed to hate so thoroughly are gone, and we'll never feel the thrill of coming into high school as freshmen or the satisfaction of hav- ing attained the ranks of seniors. There are tears in our eyes as we go out the door for the last time as students, and really regret that we don't have four more years to stay. Be- sides by the time you’ve been here four years you really know the ropes. Hoping that you can fill our shoes we are, The Seniors 15 JANET ALEXANDER Miss You.

'x 34 JCIDERCLflSSES Junior Story Becoming a junior is probably one of the most outstanding experiences in one's high school life. It is then that students are able to shed that ever seeming inferiority of being called underclassmen . They really want to get into the swing of things and feel that it is finally their turn to take the upper hand in vital decisions and events of the school. School life for them suddenly becomes a maze of activities. Every spare moment is occupied with meetings, schedules, and discussions. All members cooperate and give their utmost to make this one of the most successful years for their class. Finding a leader for their class, the juniors elected Richard Bachmann as their presi- dent. The other officers whom they chose to guide them v ere: Bob Groman, vice-president; June Wright, secretary; and Jayne Walton, treasurer. With their affairs placed in capable hands, the class started its way on a very promising road. A great disappointment to the juniors was the canceling of the Thanksgiving Dance. This annual event, sponsored by the class, was called-off because arrangements could not be made for an orchestra. Determined to avenge this disappointment, they put their whole efforts into their play and came through with a rollicking three-act comedy entitled Young April . The play re- volved around a true-to-life, absent-minded professor and his family, the McIntyres. The trials and tribulations of Terry and her numerous beaus , her brother George's coy little girl friend, and a whining future mother-in-law provided unlimited entertainment for the large audience that witnessed the play. A lot of new dramatic talent was brought into light, and the juniors were happy! Their play was a tremendous success, and they could rest assured that their class had proven its ability. With the coming of spring, the juniors turned all of their attention to the Banquet and the Prom. They raked their brains and pulled their hair in an attempt to bring forth a super-super idea about a decoration theme. And then when they got one, they spent every spare moment at meetings. All at once they became artists, carpenters, and seamstresses. They worked very hard, and their results showed all of the effort that they had put forth to make it look nice. It really was a royal send-off for the seniors! 37 Well, their junior year is over, and the plans for a great senior year are being made; but those of the class cannot help looking back and realizing that it has been the happiest and most enjoyable year of their school life.

This means a lot to anyone who has had to be burdened with the name of freshman for a whole year, for usually after six months around this insti- tution of higher knowledge everyone is right at home and if not thoroughly versed in all manners of mischief, is well on the way of becoming accomplished in such things. The members of the class were entitled to belong to the Girl Reserves and Hi Y Clubs when they entered the next step up in their high school career. It was with perhaps a touch of premonition that they faced the initiations, for they knew that such affairs in the past had been on the gruesome side. However, there were no casualties suffered, and the initiates became full-fledged members. The annual formal dances that each club gives offered un- limited excitement and enjoyment for the new members. A sophomore class is quite often considered the least important, for the excitement of being a freshie has passed, and the new thrill of becoming a junior and then a senior is still in the distance. La Porte High's sophomores, however, have proven to be an excep- tion to the rule. They have made their class one of the outstanding of the school. They elected officers to carry on the class's official business, and they did an admirable job. Those chosen to lead the class were: Vance Knight, president; Natalie Mansfield, vice-presi- dent; Helen Meadows, secretary; and Betty Berger, treasurer. In the beginning of the school year, a group of sophomore girls demonstrated Mrs. Russell's confidence in them by presenting to her freshmen a series of skits on ettiquette. Members also worked very hard and brought forth two excellent class assemblies. The first was one of the local jazz bands, which performed in a manner most satisfactory to promising hep-cats. The other was a talent show consisting of humorous skits and individu- al performances. The class really showed everyone that they are gifted with a lot of musi- cal and dramatic talent. For once seniors wished they were sophomores again. A very capable sophomore class is now well within the reach of assuming upperclass- men responsibilities. These duties are many, but they also include many privileges. Everyone is certain that this sophomore class will handle its responsibilities and have a very successful junior year. And so the year has rolled alongl The sophies will now change their gay robes, and assume a more dignified position, for next year they will be jolly juniors.

It was only four years ago that trembling and frighten- ed they entered the portals of their future alma mater. Freshman class is always the largest, it seems, for its members are at an age when school attendance is still a state requirement. So it is then the seed for success in the next years must be sown. To help accomplish this, the class is provided with capable coun- selors. who this year have been Mr. Hargrave and Mrs. Russell. Through their efforts the freshmen were given invaluable guidance in preparing programs for the succeeding three years, in determining as nearly as possible how the student wishes to make his mark in the world; and they offer their experience, knowledge, and sincere advice to those who need or ask it. These counselors have a job on their hands for even though the graduat- ing senior class were often termed the worst class in history back in junior high, there isn't any freshie class without mischief in its midst. Consequently when school opened this fall, no doubt the freshmen trembled and shook as have all other incoming classes. With wonder in their minds they were initiated into the mysteries and intricacies of life as high school frosh. Some were shown the ropes by pa- tient elder brothers and sisters who in order to save time and energy, at once told the younger fry that such things as elevator rides and assembly tickets did not exist. Others, cautiously feeling their way about, at length succeeded in doping out the facts and were thus spared the agony of humiliation. The rest—and the number was quite small—became the joy of all upper classmen, for it is the unsuspecting that one delights most to torment. This year, as in most others, the freshman interests were divided between studies and outside activities. Studies of course were foremost, because a freshman's privileges are limited in the other. It is doubtful if they will ever forget the biology skeleton or the endless Latin verb forms which so many of them are familiar with. Activities came next, and the kids nearly outdid themselves in trying to get some snappy assemblies and more mixer parties. Their motto might well have been try, try again , we'll certainly give them A” for effort—, for time after time they were foiled in their attempts to provide themselves with a jazz band assembly. However the seniors gave them the annual Freshman Mixer dance the first week of school, and of course there were opportunities to attend the football and basketball dances and the Spring Formal. , , The class officers, Elizabeth Matthews, president; Pat Esslinger, vice-president; Mary Robison, secretary-treasurer, were capable and had lots of spirit. Many of the class were active in student government and in various clubs. Yes, the Freshies have had a time of it; but we believe they've stood it well and will provide for L. P. H. S. the best sophomore, junior, and senior classes.

El-Pe Story Several slightly bedraggled figures pushed against the door, closed it at last and with a sigh succumbed to undisturbed rest. The El-Pe staff had sent out the last printed page. Every piece of stray paper that had been bothering the few neat persons, along with the now-dulled paper-cutter, and the typewriter, which had seen its better days before being pounded upon by the expert (?) fingers of the staff had been literally stuffed in- to the closet. As the key was turned in the lock, a little prayer for the publication was of- fered. Many a time the staff has crept down the dimly-lit halls to the office to work at night —and as the darkness grew, imagined any number of things happening, and then stumbled down the stairs several hours later in the dark (and not only because they couldn’t find the light switches). Incidentally we always added our own harmonizing to keep up our spirits. Of course it could have been the party spirit, for we did come laden with food to help us in the lull when the right word simply wouldn't come. We usually ended up cramming not only the food but also the work. Then there was the rush to make the deadline only to find out that it had been ad- vanced a week. Amidst frantic cries of despair and general hair-pulling the drive to com- plete the El-Pe began. We non-confirmed night-owls really began burning the school's elec- tricity in great earnest. Truly gems” of wisdom came forth from those literary jam ses- sions. Maybe it's a failure of staffs that in a crisis of utmost importance, when trying to de- cide which spelling Mr. Webster would approve, and without the help of the esteemed man's dictionary—everyone completely forgot their spelling ability. It's a fact that if asked how to spell yacht while in a creative doze, every member of the staff would look dan- gerously blank and then mutter something about y-a-u-w-h-t. It wasn't bad enough trying to think, but when we had to chase the teachers all over the building just to see if they knew a boy who knew a boy who could help us identify a certain girl who was in the Archery Club, was too much. For that matter it took us quite some time to accustom ourselves to those whirl-winds of humanity who kept dashing through and down the fire escape sixth hour—but they say that human beings can get used to anything—and we certainly proved that that rule is true. So here's to the aspirin bottle and a good nervous breakdown for all. We certainly deserve it. The El-Pe work is under the direction of Mrs. Thomas. The staff consists of Mar- jory Roberts, editor-in-chief; Valerie Menkes, assistant editor; Nancy Lewis, senior editor; Betty Barden, activities editor; Bill Soderquist, sports editor; Lois Peterson, art editor; Lois Ordun, assistant art editor; Nick Kandis, photographic editor; Warren Fickel, business man- ager; and Barbara Levine, assistant business manager. (■irl Reserves The G.R.'S got off to a good start this year with their informal initiation held in Sep- tember at the Foreman's Camp. Each initiate was resplendent in rubbers, curlers, night gown or pajamas, and hair net. They took a lot of heckling from their betters , but fun was had by all. Turning to the serious, the club held its formal initiation at the Christian Church. The simple service conducted by the cabinet was attended by all new members. The girls also contributed some money this year for a new cot to be put in the nurse's office. The largest crowd in G. R. history attended the annual formal dance held in Decem- ber. The girls outdid themselves in the decorations which turned out to be the cleverest seen in ages. Special attraction at the dance was the arrival of Santa Claus to distribute gifts to several of the girls and their dates. Sponsors for the club are Miss Beesley and Miss Huddleston. This year's cabinet mem- bers were: Sylvia Demien, president; Lois Peterson, vice-president; Betty Culver, secretary- treasurer; Barbara Levine, membership chairman; Theresa Wandell. v elfare chairman; Mary Duchossois, social chairman; and Doris Swanson, program chairman.

Ili-Y High standards of Christian character are the ideals upon which the Hi-Y is organized. Their greatest contribution to this is the distribution of baskets of food to the poor at Thanks- giving and the maintenance of a dime line at Christmas time, the proceeds of which are used to clothe twelve poor children and furnish them a Christmas party. The Hi-Y is not made up entirely of charitable work. Many times during the year social entertainment is furnished by their phonograph dances, and every spring the club gives one of the outstanding formal dances of the school term. Early in the spring the officers for the coming school year are elected and the new ones then attend the Indianapolis State Conference. The officers for this year have been: Bill Soderquist, president; Steve Cormick, vice- president; Nick Kandis. sergeant-of-arms; Leon Kaminski, treasurer; Fred Link, secre- tary.

Junior lied Cross In times such as these the Red Cross has an important place in our lives and in our futures. The Red Cross is an agency through which something can be done for the boys in the Service. The junior division has co-operated with the senior division of the Red Cross as it has undertaken to promote the war effort. Plans have been made for the club to sponsor a Disaster Committee which will func- tion in case of a bombing, an explosion, or some other catastrophe. Junior Red Cross meets on alternate Fridays in the main auditorium v ith the fol- lowing officers: Betty Barden, president; Tom Weaver, vice-president; Josephine Pate, sec- retary; Mary Eagen, treasurer; and Mrs. Hotchkiss, sponsor.

Creative Writing I-a Porte High School's prospective Noel Cowards and Pearl Bucks comprise the Cre- ative Writing Club. These potential authors are prolific in their output to say the least. Amid much pencil-chewing and floor-pacing, they launched their own publication in the spring. The volume included poems, short stories, and essays; contributions from each member. When not putting themselves in print, our literary geniuses meet every other Monday to read each others' efforts and offer constructive (?) criticisms. The inspiration of the club is Miss McReynolds. The officers are: Val Menkes, president; Jacqueline Donnelly, secre- tary; Barbara Levine, treasurer. SITTING: Barbara Levlno, Lois Potorson. Jacqueline Donnolly, Val Menkos, Mary Smith, Miriam French, Nancy Ander- son. STANDING: Marlory Roberts, Miss McRoynolds. Travel Tlul� If you have a slight case of wanderlust but lack sufficient capital to journey to distant lands, join this band of tourists who do their traveling in the auditorium listening to inter- esting talks about others' adventures. Outside speakers entertain the club with accounts of their travels in other parts of the country or foreign places. However, members often pro- vide the program and relate their experiences. The club is primarily to quench the thirst for travel of potential hopefuls. See America First has been a popular slogan for the club this year. One of the most interesting programs was a movie of a trip through our country on a bus. Another movie featured the Black Hills of South Dakota. The officers for this year have been: Paul Greiling, president; Jim Dorman, vice-pres- ident, Audrey Garwood, secretary-treasurer. Miss Iones is sponsor of the club. FIRST ROW: Richard Reed.

Bowling has taken a sudden leap in popularity during the last few years. There are so many girls interested in this sport that it was necessary to form two leagues. Either Mon- day or Wednesday finds the bowling alleys crowded with girls enthusiastically trying for strikes and spares, maneuvering the ball out of the gutter, and incidentally keeping down their waistline.

There seems to be a peculiar fascination to knocking down all ten pins, for upon accomplishing such a feat, the boys exhibit ill-disguised expressions of pleasure. The boys have done very well for themselves. They copped the First Eastern Conference at South Bend. Bowling every Tues- day after school, they have attained and maintained high averages this year.

Debate Do you like to argue pro and con on a controversial subject? Such is the privilege of Mrs. Little's debate students. The members of this year's class are, with few exceptions all new with the result that competition has been exceptionally keen. Coming out on top to make first team were Leon Kaminski. Miriam French. Mary Smith, and Agnes Wandell. In state tournament competition they finished in a tie for third place. The subject, one vital to high school students, was Re- solved: There should be required of every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of 18 and 20, one year of full time military training.

Girls’ Glee Club In case your weary neighbors put up a howl when you start to sing (?) at home, join one of the high school glee clubs where you can sing as long and loudly as you please- - under careful supervision, however. The girls have lots of fun practicing scales and exercises when they meet. It is really a job to learn how to breath—any gal will tell you! They sing all varieties of folk songs and classical numbers. They also learn the annual operetta and help the A Cappella pre- sent it. There are three girls glee clubs in high school. The older and more experienced girls belong to the first hour, while the younger ones sing every third hour. The girls, under the direction of Mrs. Vawter went to the state contest at Butler this year and came home with a second division rating. They also sang, as is their custom, at the State Teachers' Associa- tion convention which meets in the fall at South Bend. FIRST ROW: Irono Daniol. Shirley Johnson, Tomalone Eckharl. Betty Atkinson.

Sk lrli Club Thanks to the members of the Sketch Club, L. P. H. S. has several original pictures adorning its halls. It is also fighting a winning battle to make students art-conscious by holding auctions of art work produced by club members. Each summer those members really interested are privileged to take weekly field trips on which they may paint and sketch to their heart's content; they are accompanied by the sponsor, Mrs. Thomas. The Sketch Club belongs to the Indiana Federation of Junior Art Clubs and submits work to its annual state contest.

To a great extent the students themselves under the sponsorship of the student traffic committee are in charge of organization. There is a faculty traffic committee com posed of Mr. Sears, Mr. Hargrave, Mr. Hobbs, Mrs. Russell, Miss Barros, and Miss Essex which has general supervision over the whole program. The student head is an elected officer, the marshal, who this year for the first time was a girl, Nancy Lewis. She. working with Mrs. Russell, chose the monitor captains at the beginning of each semester. The captains, in turn chose the monitors from the students in the study halls. This year many new reforms have been introduced. Some of the more important ones include requirements for monitors, more rigid regulations governing hall traffic, an im- proved method of parking bicycles, and a new fire-drill system. In accordance with the last mentioned, a Fire Marshal was appointed; and next year a committee governing fire-and air-raid drills is proposed.

Following the business meeting, the members devote the remainder of the time to some form of handi- work. This year the girls worked on quilts for the Red Cross and made novelty boxes for which they used match boxes for the base. They sponsor a style show each fall, and each spring they give a mother-daughter banquet.

Ili-Times To get the dummy sheets filled with the latest scoops and to meet the early Friday morning deadline, is an accomplishment that all Hi-Times staff members strive for. With tired and weary faces they emerge triumphantly each week to distribute the newest prat- tle and goings on to the students. A very unique fake edition was published during the second semester, and it will have to be admitted that many students not on the know really did believe that they were to receive an extra vacation. The editors for this year have been: first semester, Audrey Garwood; second semes ter, Marjory Roberts and Jean Martin. Miss Dick sponsors the publications.

Handicraft If you'd like to learn to know (so you can send that soldier boy a new sweater) or cro- chet (grandma might like a scarf), this is the club for you. The girls meet on alternate Mon- days to do not only knitting and crocheting but all kinds of fancy work. This year, instead of giving their usual Christmas party for little girls, they helped the firemen by buying and dressing 14 dolls at Christmas time. The club is sponsored by Miss Anderson. The officers are: Adeline Stassen, president; Margaret Akins, vice-president; and Mary Smith, secretary-treasurer.

(■iris (iiolfiii«� Each summer a group of very ambitious girls try making the little white ball go where they want it to go instead of where they hit it. In spite of great difficulties in even making contact with the ball, they have great fun. Some day one of them might happen to become famous in this sport; but whether this will be true or not, they are starting a fine hobby which will give them much pleasure in later years.

This body of youthful legislators transacts school business of a student nature, conducts an annual spring election of its officers, and appoints committees to conduct various school activities. United we stand” might well be its slogan this year, for its main purpose has been to revise the constitution. One of the newest features which has existed as a temporary meas- ure all semester is the dividing of the council into Upper Council and Lower Council, meeting on alternate Mondays. The Upper Council or Cabinet consists of the prosecutor, fire mar- shal, and all elected officers. Their function is to organize business to be presented to the Lower Council in order to facilitate matters. However, it has no actual power. The Lower Council, which is made up of the elected officers and the home room representatives, orig- inates new business or passes the prepared business as the case may be. All power is vest- ed in this joint house. HOME ROOM REPRESENTATIVES. FIRST ROW: Harriot Kullby, Audrie Sloe.

It is one of the few school sports in which girls may participate- -in fact, this sem- ester it has been made up almost entirely of girls. The club, which is open to all those who aspire to be William Tells, meets every Tuesday after school at the Civic Auditorium; and when weather permits, the target prac- tice is held at Soldiers' Memorial Park.

SENIOR PLAY The senior class really went in for a dramatic episode when they presented Another Spring. Placed both in the time of the Revolutionary War and in the present, the action centered around the halves of a ring handed down by two young Revolutionary War lovers and tells how eventually these same pieces of ring brought together their descend- ants. Mrs. McTurnan directed the play.

Lloyd Freeland There are many players oi the squad that spend most of their season on the bench. They never receive any glory, their names never make the sport page for making a spec- tacular run or doing a wonderful bit of blocking; yet they are in reality the backbone of a team. They never let their team-mates get discouraged, and it is their constant cheering and anxiety for the playing team that pushes many boys on to win. From them is formed the nucleus of future teams. Their experiences, if only from watching, are valuable. Each one is out to do or die. The boys who haven't had much of a chance to play have learned almost as much from sitting on the bench , and so it is from them that we expect great things next year.

For this team, built around last year's returning lettermen, Coach Edmonds had high hopes. Through the hot weather, the boys sweated and were ready to start rolling against their first opponent of the season. West Lafayette. In this nip and tuck battle, the Slicers came out on top and chalked up the only defeat of the year for this southern team. La Porte's hopes soared higherl Then it came! A plague of injuries and infection hit the Slicers and didn't let up even for the City game. There wasn't a game all year when the Slicers could put their original starting eleven into the field. Despite this fact, the team struggled through the season show- ing their fighting spirit throughout. t There was one outstanding example of the Slicer's ability. In a game against the touch-down machine of Washington, South Bend, the boys held them on the goal line for four consecutive downs. If it hadn't been for a bad case of sleepiness that suddenly devel- oped, the Slicers would have probably been able to score one of the upsets of the football season. Corning up to the City game. La Porte was determined to salvage something out of the unfortunate season. The night was very nasty with snow and rain filling the air. City's field was a mass of mud. With this as a background here took place one of the most exciting bat- tles in many years. City scored first and then set to work to hold the lead. Twice the She- ers punched the score board only to have the play called back. Finally in the last ninety seconds of play. City's kicker punted the pigskin right into the waiting arms of a Sheer man. Blocking formed ahead of him, and red suits flew in all directions. With some fast stepping, the ball was carried across the goal line to tie the score. And so the unfortunate Slicers, although greatly handicapped, ended a fairly good season. Followng the final curtain of play, the boys selected two players from their ranks up- on which to confer honors. Dick Grenda, a speedy little half back, was selected most valu- able player; and Louis New, the blocker that really could block, was selected honorary captain. Grenda and New were also chosen on the All-Conference second team. Tom Rees and Lloyd Freeland were given honorable mention. 89 BEN JONAS, DICK CARR, FRED LINK, EUGENE SUITOR, HARVEY FREELAND. LLOYD FREELAND, VERNON ROSE, CAS KUK, IRV MELLINTHIN Ilattketball The basketball team of La Porte High School has developed a procedure by which they can award honors to their team mates. Before every game, the first five that are in the starting lineup together and elect a captain. This system eventually gives every player on the team a chance to act as captain and to receive an opportunity for valuable training. After the season is over, the team chooses an honorary captain and the most valuable player. This year the awards went to Bob Amber and George Avery, respectively. Avery was also chosen as forward on the All-Conference team which is quite an honor to win. LETTER MEN BOB AMBER GEORGE AVERY WALTER RADECKI BILL SODERQUIST COACH BLANDA TOM SALLWASSER WILBUR SHELBY LEON KAMINSKI (Manager) WILFRED ELDRIDGE JACK ALLEN CASIMER KUK HARVEY FREELAND The team was one that many schools won't forget very soon, for it afforded all the com- petition that they could take. The season was very successful even though the Slicers did fail to revenge their defeat at the hands of their rivals, the Red Devils of Michigan City. With some very fine players returning next year, the team promises to be outstanding. Coach Blanda did a splendid job of training the boys who cooperated with him excellently. Coach DeCook's reserves made a wonderful success of their season. A great many of the boys have gained valuable experiences and training which will be of use to them in coming years. Coach Ray Addington had charge of the sophomore and freshmen teams. They came out with a good season due to the strenuous work out that they got about five nights a week.

Golf The prophesied shortage of golf balls has not noticeably affected La orte High School's golf team. Every nice, sunny day the boys went out to the greens and swung their golf sticks and they really could hit the ball.

Baseball The surest sign that the fair season of spring is here is to see an old rickety car with about fifteen fellows in it bound for the baseball diamond. At the start, Coach De Cook's Slicers were raring to go, and this proved to be their attitude throughout the season. The boys proved that they could really play ball as they went through their schedule with shining colors.

This year, however, has shown that he had little to worry about, for he has found ample willingness among the boys. The runners have progressed greatly due to the fine weather prevailing, a great deal of time being put in at Kiwanis Field. The team will have a lot of competition within itself, as the boys can really make the turf fly.

Cheer Leaders Their actions are unheralded, their deeds are unsung, their names never appear splashed across a newspaper for making a spectacular run or a beautiful play; and yet they are as much a part of the team and the game as the player is himself. It is their spirit and enthusiasm that has kept the boys going when it seemed the roughest. It is their pep and never-give-up will that has instilled into the cheering section the power to keep behind the team whether it be winning or losing. Unique acrobatic yells were invented by the yell leaders this year to afford some of the most exciting and enthusiastic pep- sessions the school has ever seen. Lois was the only veteran of the three this year, and she had had three years of experience. Hugh and Jim joined the squad this year and only Hugh will be left to carry on the fine work that has been done by this trio of cheerleaders. Jim Peltz Lois Ordun Hugh Tyl(
