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

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1943 volume:

c We the students of the schools of America have a job to face that is equal to the combined tasks of past generations. We, by Light and Truth, should be able to make the difficult road of the future easier. We are imbedding in our minds now various traits, one of which is LOYALTY, a trait that will make or break a nation. Loyalty is the backbone of our nation. But what are we doing to create and preserve this sense of loyalty? Students are preparing themselves for the future by increasing their knowledge. Thus they will make themselves useful citizens of the United States of the future. They are preparing themselves for the jobs that will be necessary for the betterment of the future. Some of us are learning the use of delicate instruments; some of us are joking advantage of the use of the social sciences for a better understanding of the government and ways to improve it; others are learning the value of the currency of Jhis country and its proper use; others are preparing them- selves for the further development of their knowledge in far greater institutions of learning. There are still pthers who are doing their part in some way. no matter what it may be or how little or how big it may seem. Surely this Loyalty. This school has done its part to produce loyal citizen; preciate this but shall prove our ability to catch the torch and carry Unseen yet strong and intimate, our loyal- ty to one another and to our school is ever present. To take this mutual sympathy, under- standing and friendship from us is impossible. It is well this is so because without it there would be no organization and no harmony in our lives. It has always been here and it shall always be here. I is a bond between us, making us one. Students who have graduated in years past give constant demonstrations of their faith- fulness to their Alma Mater. They attend games, plays, musicals; they write letters from army camps spurring students on to more and bigger bond and stamp purchases. Teachers receive letters from alumni thanking them for some help or kindness received in the past. Donations toward school projects are another indication of the support of townsfolk. All who come and lsarn or all who are interested in the school in any way carry with them always memory of the part they played in this school's history. It is not only our school but theirs as well. Today, the evidences of loyalty among the students are in the modem, casual fashion; but in actuality they are stronger because of the fear and horror the whole world is experienc- ing. Willingness to share possessions, kind- ness. and sympathy are traits that now are be- coming more and more prevalent in the aver- age student. Some minor tragedy such as spill- ing the contents of one's notebook in a crowded hall brings a quick and helping hand, instead of the do-it-yourself attitude of a year and a half ago. A renewed faith and friendship with one another is fast springing up amoung us. A greeting in the hall, a shared candy bar. a teasing about someone's best girl are the usual and unspectacular things of school life. But what is more important, they are real, liv- ing they are our loyalty in action. The war has broken up many of. our homes, taken our brothers and sweethearts into untold danger. We hear what were once strange and somehow formidable terms applied to our own lives. -We get up earlier to come to school in order to save electricity and free students for work early in the afternoon. We do without the car on party nights and wear last winter's coat. These are new things, strange and even a little frightening because they upset what we thought was an unchange- able, all-powerful way of life. But day by day we gather courage from one another and go on because our loyalty demands it. The real interest the teachers show toward students and their problems is a credit to La Porte High School. Day in, day out, stormy and fair weather, hectic and dull days, our teachers are always here, ready to help. Because of their in- struction, interest, and helpfulness, many young people have been started on a road of life that is within their ability and suited to their likes and dis- likes. They become responsible citizens and a credit to the community. And there, back of it all. is some teacher, smiling end happy because of a job well done. Through the four years of our high school career Mrs. Little, our counsellor, has suggested ideas to us and lent a sympathetic ear to our prob- lems. Now at our graduation we extend sincere thanks to our loyal friend, Mrs. Little. association Tragedy and a great expense are two of the inevitable out- comes of war. To relieve these things war bonds and stamps are sold. Our government, the best in the world, has seen to it that the service men and citizens alike benefit from the stamp and bond sale. The service men get their needs supplied and the citizen is financially advanced. To save someone's life is a great thing. How easy it is to do just that by buying a bond! And how vital it is when we think that it might be our own brother or someone else whom we love very dearly. This is really the most important side of the question but the financial importance of such an investment must not be under-emphasized. The rate of interest and the certainty of getting the money back, plus interest, are perhaps the two most outstanding fea- tures. There is no risk or chance of losing any part of the amount invested. Such a certainty can be found in no other investment. To prove this the biggest corporations and businesses in the nation are buying bonds at a tremendous rate. Trained in the art of making money, these companies invest their money with- out any hesitancy whatsoever. Following their lead, the American people are buying and will buy until this war is ended. The American government, because it is the American gov- ernment. offers the benefits of bond purchases not to a select few, or one nationality, or one creed, or one age level but to each and every individual. The students of this school realize the urgency of this problem and are buying war bonds and stamps in an ever-increasing number. This is as it should be; this is as it must be if we are to win the war. And win the war we will! W. R. Godwin, Superintendent Board of Education: El wood O. Haun, Ben C. Rees, Dr. G. O. Larson. John M. French, Principal. Leo M. Hauptman, Psychologist 12 Office Force: Mrs. Leona Collins, Mrs. Jean Hil- gendorf, Mrs. Frances Burden, Mrs. Gene- vieve Serwatka, and Mrs. Sadie A. Barnes. Dr. G. O. Larson, Elwood Hahn. Ben C. Rees, and W. R. Godwin comprise the Board of Education. The work and authority of this group extends over all the city schools. Due to their fine leadership and direction, La Porte has one of the finest school systems in the state. Mr. Godwin, in the few years he has been here, has won the respect and loyalty of all the students. He well deserves it. Working conscientiously, and always with the student's benefit in mind the school has become an institution of cooperation so essential to our dem- ocracy. Under Mr. Godwin's leadership we shall go forward. Mr. French has the tremendous responsibility of making our school run smoothly and efficiently with the least possible confusion. To do this he has had to employ understand- ing. kindness, patience and a maximum of executive ability. We herewith pay tribute to him as a man and an excellent principal. Dr. Hauptman, director of secondary education, and psychologist, adjusts pupil-teacher relationships, lectures, and is a wise advisor to anyone who seeks his help. His presence at conferences has brought to La Porte High School many new and valuable ideas for a better school organization. Working in close coordination with Mr. Godwin and Mr. French, he is one of the school's most outstanding leaders. The office force with Mrs. Leona Collins, Mrs. Jean Hilgendorf, Mrs. Frances Burden. Mrs. Genevieve Serwatka and Mrs. Sadie A. Barnes as members, take care of all the routine business. To best describe the part they play in L. P. H. S. life is practically impossible but in a few words they are our friends. This year an entirely different aspect has been taken on by the students toward their friends, the teachers. Through four seemingly short years in La Port© High School, we have gained much. Students realize that definite credit is due where it has been deserved for years although never fully paid. Above all other things that the teachers have done they have tried to instill in our mind definite courses in mathematics, science, social studies or other subjects which will prove of worth to us during later years. Sometimes we wonder if our so-called blue Monday” isn’t iust a horrible nightmare to them. Students mope through an hour of every class with that What are you talking about?” look on their faces. In spite of all handicaps the teachers come through with flying colors; and as a result of their untiring efforts to try to impress some small bit of knowledge into the cranium's gray matter, we are able to leave high school and make a bigger and better place in the world. They answer every beck and call sent forth from the mystified faces, and in their casual way of encouragement, they have spurred us on to higher goals. All a teacher is paid to do is to teach, but he does more than that. Our counsellors have offered their services by advising us upon a definite course that in their opinions would be best for us. These we respect and usually follow. They have acted as sponsors for our clubs; and while we shirked the big responsibilities, they shouldered them without a word of complaint. They also have stood guard at every door, extending greetings no mat- ter how much they disliked being there, when they could have been enjoying a good play or game. They have directed our plays and coached us so that we might enter into com- petitive contests with other schools. All of these extra-curricular activities plus teaching contribute more knowledge to the student, more experience in handling our responsibilities, and development of our characters. They have tried to make us accurate and careful, tact- ful and courteous, patriotic and loyal. All of these, which every student really desires, con- stitute the traits that every employer and intelligent person looks for in another individual. These members of the faculty must all possess these traits before they may ever try to pass them on to us. These, ingrained in their hearts make them outstanding above all other groups of professionals. Each and every student has a warm spot in his heart for the fac- ulty members although he continually keeps it locked in the deepest recess of his heart. Very seldom does he let these thoughts pass from his lips even though they are there when he stops to think of all good things done for him by this unselfish group of men and women. No matter how hard someone may try to erase it. the faculty of every generation leaves an indelible mark of faith, hope, education, and understanding upon the lives of their students. 14 o Ray R.

Mr. Harper be- came a member of our high school faculty in September 1939 and was inducted into the army in October of 1942. After the completion of his military service, we hope to have Mr. Harper again with us. inspiring students with musical talent. Mr. Hagin Harper Miss Nona Seeberg Miss Nona Seeberg, instructor in speech, after only one semester in our faculty resigned, and accepted a position with the U. S. O. de- partment of the National Red Cross. During her brief term here she made many friends among the students and members of the fac- ulty. From the rank and file of the student body, many boys have gone to serve under the flag of our country. We know their bravery, cour- age and leadership, and our prayers for their safety go with them. We hope we can be worthy of their great sacrifice. Senior How well we remember the day we entered La Porte High School. Four years ago—-it seems but yesterday. Maybe the seniors thought we were green, but we really weren't (maybe just a little). We had heard all about the pranks played on the incoming freshman; so we didn't fall for those gags—at least most of us didn’t. We had very competent leadership during our freshman year: Bob Groman, president; Margaret Leets, vice president, and Jayne Walton, secretary- treasurer. At last we moved out of the ranks of green (?) freshman into the ranks of sophomores, which gave us the opportunity to join clubs such as the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y Club. Of course we had to go through a plenty stiff initiation, but we lived through it. Our officers for that year were Richard Bach- mann, president; Steve Cormick, vice-president; and Jayne Walton, secretary-treasurer. We now approached the biggest years of our high school career. We were at last considered upper- classmen . The first major undertaking during our junior year was the junior play. Young April was chosen. On try-out night, senior study hall was packed with would- be actors. Everyone was practicing his lines—crossing his fingers and hoping he would be chosen for a part. After selections were made, Lucy Lindborg was given the leading feminine roll. Playing opposite her was Richard Bachmann. The play turned out a huge suc- cess. After the play we devoted much of our time in find- ing a really super theme for the banquet. Believe me, we really worked hard. After racking our brains and losing many hours of sleep, we finally decided upon a Pan-American theme. It was our big chance to show the seniors that we really appreciated all the things they did for us. Our next problem was the Prom. We chose a forest theme for that. We had loads of fun decorating the Civic, and also considered it fun being excused from classes to help with the decorations. Doris Swan- son was chosen Prom Queen. 18 Our officers who so capably helped us make our junior year a success were Richard Bachmann, president; Bob Groman, vice-president; June Wright, secretary; and Jayne Walton, treasurer. The day dawned at last—we were high and migh- ty seniors. But being a senior wasn't all it was crack- ed up to be. We began feeling sorry that we had only one year left in good old L. P. H. S. Now that we were seniors, it was up to us to spon- sor the after-game dances. With Roy Kaber to guide us as our class president, the other class officers, the class sponsors, and the help of numerous committees, the dances went over big. Other class officers were Steve Cormick, vice-president; De Loris Vogel, secre- tary; and Charles Marshall, treasurer. Elected as class sponsors were Mr. Van Wagner and Miss Yeager. This year we chose for our play, Ever Since Eve . Some of the critics said it was the best class play in a long time. We were quite worried for a while, when Steven Daddy Cormick, our leading man. came down with the flu. We kept our fingers crossed, and it helped because he was fit as a fiddle in time to give an outstanding performance in the play. Helen Meadows had the female lead and did a good job. In fact, credit should be given also to the rest of the cast and to the committee who sewed ruffles on lamp- shades and pillows until they were blue in the face. The latter part of November we saw seniors with small orange envelopes and heard comments such as this: Oh, let's see yours. Gee, mine are awful. What am I going to do?” That's right- senior proofs. Everyone was in a tizzy trying to get his pictures in before the deadline. They made it. The senior class would like to say Thanks, loads to Mrs. Little, who so graciously helped us for four years, choosing our subjects and figuring up our credits to see if we would graduate. The time was becoming shorter and shorter, and here it was, graduation already. It is with sad hearts that we pass from the doors of our high school—the graduates of 1943. 19 ELSIE ABRAHAM 'Thoeo cycs-atiectionato and qlad. — GUI Reserves 3, 4: Archery Club 3: GUIs' Bowling 1, 2; Gles Club 1.

They are the school's select few, chosen for scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Being elected to the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a La Porte High School student. Membership in the Honor Society requires high qualifications. A student must be in the upper one-third of his class scholastically to be eligible. Those who are eligible are then rated by the faculty in leadership, character, and service. Those whose pictures do not appear below and who are in the society are: Delbert Stevens, Agnes Wandell, and Muriel Wegner.

Finally they have become the upperclassmen and next year look forward to being Mighty Seniors. Their selection of class officers was of the best; consequently, they have enjoyed a happy success- ful year in La Porte High. Fred Slinkard is leading this proud Junior class, as president; Danny Daniel- son. vice president; Helen Regan, secretary; and Phyllis Roberts as treasurer. The time soon came for the Thanksgiving Dance. With every one working to-gether painting, planning and co-operating the Juniors sponsored one of the most attractive dances of the school year. The gym decorated with a huge turkey and novel attractive seasonal decorations, made this dance a spectacu- lar one. The Juniors sighed and smiled with relief for their first big affair had been a success. Next came the Junior Play and again Miss Me Rey- nolds came to the rescue of the class, coaching a fine cast in a timely play of sabotage in an air- plane factory. Eight leads competed with each other for honors and held the attention of the audi- ence for two thrilling hours packed with excitement and comedy. The climax of the Junior year was reached when the Juniors served as hosts to the graduating Seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom. A new note to this historic annual affair was seen in the predominating patriotic theme carried out both in decorations and costumes. The recent enlistments among the Junior and Senior boys accounted for a somewhat smaller attendance than in former years and lent a note of gravity to the occasion. The Juniors are now ready to take the place of their graduating leaders leaving one happy year be- hind them. They look forward to an even more successful year as the next leaders in La Porte High School. Just as the Juniors shouted fo? joy when they rose from the ranks of the underclassmen likewise the Sophomores were relieved to shed the horrible name of green horns. They can now lift their heads and smile with the rest of the school. As full fleged members of La Porte High this elated class started out with a bang by electing Douglas Look What Ziegfield Missed!!! Atten—shun!!! Hi-Times in the Making. Keep 'em Rolled 40 Salvage for the Red Cross The Women Vote I Hope They Know What They Are Doing For What and How Many Years? Parker for President; Elmer Martinsen, vice-presi- dent; and Tom Osborn, secretary and treasurer. Since most of these Sophomores are Hep-cats, their leaders planned a few special assemblies fea- turing dance bands, which most of these jiving Sophomores relished beyond belief. Then came the night of all nights when this Sophomore class gave their traditional Sophomore Hop. This was another gala spring affair. The Freshmen look up in awe at the Sophomores and complain because their Freshman year seems so long; but as the year wears on, we may safely say that the Freshmen have stopped running from room to room in astonished panic and now are get- ting more acquainted with their school. At the first of the school year all the little Fresh- men got to-gether and elected Bob Anderson to lead the way through their first bewildering year with Lawrence Jensen as vice-president and right hand man to the president and Barbara Weidman, secre- tary-treasurer. The year seems unbearably long to them, but every day these growing Freshmen take another step closer to being a Sophomore and handing the long hated title of greenies on to the next crop of Freshmen. Still smaller than these Freshmen come the little Freshies. They bounced right into high school with a sufficient supply of elevator tickets and plenty of assembly passes, learning, much to their surprise and regret, that they didn't need either. In January these Freshies decided that it was necessary that they have one special person to be‘ their president and represent them in this new school. They chose Earl Dahl president; Tom Chase, vice-president; and Connie Anderson, secretary. With Mrs. Russell as their fond advisor they have had many interesting and exciting programs. In their activity period they listen to talks given by the different clubs in high school and then sit and dream and plan about the clubs they wish to enter when they are older. These growing Freshies haven't had much time for activities for they have been working feverishly to pass from-----------Blushing Freshies to Budding Sophomores. 41 Beautiful Dreamer You're in the Army Now Election Day That Gleam In Her Eyes uniord BOB ALBAN 1IM AVERY RITA MAE BACHMAN MARVIN BARAB PATRICIA BARKER PAT BAUCH SHIRLEY BEATY MARJORIE BELL SIGMUND BELZOWSKI BETTY BENTLEY BETTY BERGER DALE BLACKBURN EDITH BIHLMAYER BETTY BORTZ DOROTHY BOWER KENNETH BOWMAN JOHN BRADLEY CASIMER BRENDA JOHN BRUST MARY BUERGER MARILOUISE BORC JOE BYM WALTER CAINS FLOYD CAMPBELL JOSEPH CHMIELOW1EC KEITH CARLSON DEAN CARTER RAY CASSIDY CHARLOTTE CLARK MARY VAL CLARK RHEALDA COCHRANE JACK COLBURN GEORGE COLE JAMES COLLIER GEORGE COWELL JACK CROWE KENNY CROWL WALTER CZANDERNA BETTY DADLOW DANNY DANIELSON JEAN DOSTOIEWSKA DORIS DOEDE MARY RUTH DOLOHERY GLORIA JEAN DORMAN MARY ANN DORSEY OTHO DORSEY JANE DOWNEY DICK DUNIFON WANDA EDWARDS CONSTANCE EKLANDSON BETTE ERWIN MARGE ESKRIDGE DICK EULER MARILYN EULER BETTY FRY ALMA FERARIO CLARENCE FICKEL DORIS FITZGERALD RUTH FRITZ JEANETTE FROBES NORMAN GANGWER GILBERT GANSCHOW BOB CARTON FLORENCE GENTILI EVELYN GEMBALA BETTY GILMAN BOB GLADE NORMAN GLANDERS BOB GRACE JACK GRACE BETTY GRAY PHYLLIS GRENDA CLIFFORD GURNEY EMIL GUST CHARLES GRINER JOHN HACKER MAXINE HAGGARD MILDRED HANSON DON HARAYDA JOHN HARE HELEN HARRIS JIM HARRIS MARJORIE HARRIS MILDED HEIDEL LORRAINE HELT JOYCE HEUSI GLENN HOBBS DONALD HOLLIS MARIAN HOWELL FRIEDA HOWES LARRY HUEBNER DORIS HUGE MARY HYNES BETTY JOHNSON ROBERT JONES DOROTHY KANNEY DOLORES KEEHN JAMES KESSLER HELENE KLUZYK VANCE KNIGHT DICK KNOLL ROBERT KOMP STEVE KOZIATEK MARY KOZLOWSKI ELLEN KRENTZ CAROL KRUEGER CAROLYN KUEBLER TOM LEAHY MARY HELEN LEHKER ALFRED LENARD JOAN LINE JACK McMURRAY LURA McQUISTON JEAN MacNARY GEORGE MANOS NATALIE MANSFIELD LYLE MARTIN VIRGINIA MARTIN JOHN MARSZALEK FRANK MEYER KATHERINE MILLER ETHEL MITCHELL HELEN MOEHLMAN CLARENCE MOORE MONICA MORYL STEVE MORYL ORMA MOYER PAULINE MROZINSKI EDWIN MUELLER BOB MULLARKEY BERNICE MURATORI MARY LOU NEARY RONALD OGLE BETTY JANE OHLIS JOAN OHLIS BEVERLY OLSON BETTY LOU OSBORN DELLA RUTH PALEN GLEN PARKER JIM PATEK 24 - 65 - 31 Hep!

Starting out with a good resolve, we finally decided on our theme--Loyalty. Then came the job of collecting photos, doing write-ups, and getting the pages together to send off to the printers so that we could meet the deadlines. , , Many Sunday mornings found us up in the little room at the end of the third floor, huddled against the radiator, with our thoughts and inspirations frozen, as well as ourselves. Many a week night found us stumbling through the dark corridors to end up finally in that important little third floor room, where the last pages had the finishing touches added to them. Gathering the Senior pictures wasn't so difficult; but when we all turned detective to hunt down the identity of the hundreds of bright and smiling (?) faces grouped in the club pictures, it's no small won- der that we went around wildly pulling our hair. Any resemblance between a staff member and a total- ly sane individual was purely coincidental. Our camera-men proved themselves to be very clever as they tip-toed around comers to snap candid shots of unsuspecting students. Of course it wasn't all work. Despite food rationing, we always managed to have a very ample supply of candy bars, potato chips, and cokes to supply food for our thoughts. After all the anxiety and headaches from worrying over write-ups and deadlines, we can look back on the many hours of hard work and realize how much we have gained by it. The El-Pe work was done under the direction of Mrs. Thomas, whose tireless efforts were greatly appreciated by all. The staff consisted of Donald Fosdick, editor-in-chief; Phyllis Walter, assistant ed- itor; Delores Vogel, senior editor; Martha Manson, activities editor; Tom Hay, sports editor; lane Bixby. art editor; Bob Roberts, photographic editor; Frank Cousins and Gene Livengood, assistant photographic editors; Cleo Cook, business manager; and Marjorie Hare, assistant business manager.

The membership drive in September wcs followed by a club supper and informal ini- tiation for new members. Programs to provide instruction in what girls can do to aid the war effort, to give hints for personal improvements, to encourage student participation, and to entertain for recrea- tional purposes have been given every two weeks throughout the Semester. During February, the club v as represented by five members at the Northern Indiana Girl Reserve Conference in South Bend. As usual, the chief social function of the year was the annual formal Christmas Dance, although we had a movie party for members and their dates’' in March. The year was ended successfully with the Mother and Daughter's Banquet in May. Our sponsors are Miss Beesley and Miss Huddleston.

On the contrary, they knew it was only the French Con- versation Club meeting again. When a person is talking French, anything can happen. And anything does happen every other Monday at three, when a few studious students gather to-gether to practice their French and, incidentally, exchange the latest gossip.

These are just a lew familiar remarks that issue from room 200 where a harassed staff edits the Hi-Times. Because Journalism is a one semester subject there are two staffs a year, chosen by Miss Dick according to ability and personal preference. The staff is made up of two editors, two assistant editors, a filing clerk, a circulation manager, an exchange edi- tor, three stencilists, three typists and an advertising manager. The Hi-Times is put out entirely by students from the first typing to the final mimeograph- ing and is published every week. Miss Dick is sponsor of the Hi-Times.

The local chapter has sponsored various services to the armed forces such as collecting hangers. It has also sponsored the collecting of clothing for the unfortunate, the loaning of money to students for medical aid, and the organization of students into 4-H clubs to raise victory gardens. Another way the Council helps to render service is by remembering students who are out of school on account of illness by sending them cards, flowers, books, etc. The Council contributes annually to the NationalChildren's Fund and also sponsors the making of Red Cross Garments. The Council is composed of one member from each home room and any other stu- dents who are especially interested in Red Cross work. First Row: Robort Kelsey, Robert Zimmerman, Gloria Snider.

The Hi-Y Club is a service organization. Among its many services is the Dime Line, to which the people of La Porte give small contributions which, in turn, provides a Christmas party for the needy children cf this city. At Thanksgiving, baskets are distributed to needy families. Other contributions made by the Hi-Y were to the Y. M. C. A. drive, the Y. M. C. A. World Service Fund, the U. S. O., and the Red Cross. The club had charge of the concessions stand at the game. Profits went to finance extra-curricular Record dances held at the Y. M. C. A., hay rides, and the regular formal dance, which was held at the Masonic Temple with Charlie Rogers providing the music, sum up the activities of the club. Mr. Lewis is the sponsor.

Mr. Lewis The Camera Club members, having dubbed themselves the Hypo-Splashers”, was revived this year by a few candid camera fans, who found a sponsor in Miss Burrin. Its purpose being to stimulate interest and acquire skill in photography, the club gave promise of developing into a profitable organization. During the year, contests were held among the club members, which brought to the fore some excellent photographs. One of the club projects has been to donate a sub- scription to the U. S. Camera to the library in order to interest more students in this hobby. First Row: Jack Ramp, Philip Godwin. Mies Burrin, Bob Robortr., Gone Ltvengood. Second Row: Tom Woavor, Korn Russo!!.

To this end, the club sold defense stamps at the local theaters, collected books for service men, worked for the Red Cross, and gave the profits from skating parties to the Fairview Hospital. How- ever, all is not work in the Tri-Hi-Y. The club holds numerous parties, hayrides, dances, and steak fries. Talks by beaaticians, librarians, college registrars, and hair and clothes stylists augment the business meetings. The highlight of each year is the Spring Dance when the Y. M. C. A. gym is transformed into a veritable fairyland for the enjoyment of the club members and their guests.

Every hour of the day, the monitors strive to keep order in the corridors. When a monitor spies someone who is in the halls without a pass, he issues a summons, which allows the offender to pay a visit to our court. Under the guidance of Mr. French and Mrs. Russell, the monitors have become a well coordinated organization. The rules for the monitors are drawn up by the Traffic Commitee, this year composed of Shirley Giassman, Don Fosdick, Margaret Hoover, David Osborn, and Dick Stayton.

They are the ones who help our lively and amusing pep sessions and who voice dislike for the officials' decisions. They work out the yells that are such tongue twisters, and lead them at the games. They are the nucleus of our school spirit, and the ones we look to to start a yell when it is impossible for the yell leaders to do so. It is a club for the school to be proud of, for it is held in high esteem by its rivals. The Axe Club was the first cheer club to be organized in Northern Indiana for the sole pur- pose of boosting the teams of its school. The leaders by far are the La Porte Axe Club- the boys who Give 'em the Axe.” The officers for this year are: Tom Hay, president; Hugh Tyler. Vice-President; Roy Kaber, secretary-treasurer.

One field of activity in which girls are not well represented is in that of sports. To somewhat compensate for that deficiency, the girls have banded together to make them- selves heard en masse at the athletic events of the year. The Slicerettes. a cheering section led by an enthusiastic rooter , are behind the teams in a soprano contralto com- bination and did much toward spurring the teams on toward victory. A few social functions also served as a unifying force in this club group and includ- ed a hay ride, a stag party, and frequent supper parties before the games. Mrs. Blank is the sponsor.

Rivalry between Susan Blake and Johnny Clover, co-editors of the paper, was intensified by Johnny's fatal attraction to a young Southern charmer. Lucy- belle Lee. With the assistance of Betsy Ervin.Susan's best friend, and Spud Ervin. Johnny's business manager, the paper was finally produced—though results were surprising to a num- ber of people, including the high school principal, Mr. Quinn, and the journalism teacher, Miss Willard. The play was full of excitement and laughter, complete with everything from the measles to the football team, pin ball games, and the barter system. It provided a charming study of adolescence and of understanding grown-ups in the characters of Mr. and Mrs. Clover and Officer Simmons. The play was directed by Miss McReynolds.

Hap Crandall and Bud Greer, two young men befriended by warm- hearted Mother Carey, were largely responsible for the apprehension of the saboteurs. Un- covering the plot was Babs, a young girl engaged, before his death in an airplane crash, to Mother Carey's only son. Romance in the play ran high between Mother Carey's daught ers, Iris and Lorry, and Hap and Dud though the course of true love did not always run smooth! At the end of the play the F. B.

These two honors were bestowed on one member of the team, Richard Bachman, who readily deserved these honors given to him by his teammates. After every sea- son the coaches and players of each conference team in the Northern Indiana Conference vote for eleven candidates for the All Conference Team. Two members of the Slicer squad were elected—Dale Rose, a tackle, and Richard Bachman, a fullback. Richard Bachman was also voted the most valu- able player in the Conference. Vernon Rose, brother of Dale, was given honorable mention on the All-State Team by one of the top sports writers in the State. Thus the high school football careers for nine seni- ors ended with high and vict- orious honors. 84 Season In the late summer days of August under a boiling sun one could hear the grunts and groans of the future Slicer football team as they slowly managed to work the stiffness of the many aches and pains out of their manly bodies. The barking orders of '‘Colonel Edmonds and Knute DeCook would be heard distinctly above the noise of the boys. As school was about to begin, more ambitious football players sought letters on the varsity, thus rounding out a well-balanced team for the coaches to work into shape for the first game. With the experience of eight lettermen the coach quickly got the squad in shape for the first game. Coach Edmonds taking the backfield and Coach DeCook putting the line together. The weather suitable for the first game, the Slicers started the season with a bang by whipping Hobart 18-7 which, incidentally, proved that the Slicers had no trouble playing teams out of town. The first home game was in the making, but the Riley Wildcats proved to be too tough for our Slicers. Handicapped by the weather La Porte came out on the short end of 18-0 score. Suffering from their first defeat, the Slicers couldn't seem to get rolling against the Blue Blazers of Elkhart. Elkhart's speed was a trifle too much for our Slicers and the final score was 20-7. The Slicers, eager to get back into the winning column cut loose with some real offensive power by downing the Valpo Vikings 6-0. Using the Nazi tactics, the Slicer aerial offensive combined with a powerful ground de- fense was too superior for the Goshen Redskins; therefore the Slicers scored their third victory by 12-6. After no victories in succession the Slicer machine didn't function so well against the superior running stunts of Washington; thus the Slicer squad took another defeat on the chin. The score was 7-28. Playing on a rain soaked gridiron, both the Adams Apples and the Slicers seemed to get nowhere because of the continuous rain. The teams played to a scoreless deadlock. Against Mishawaka the Slicers really surprised the maroons by rolling up nineteen points, but there was something lacking in La Porte's defense because Mishawaka was fortun- ate in getting nineteen points, also; therefore the game ended in a 19-19 tie. The last game was the Slicers most important game because of two important facts. First. Michigan City is La Porte's greatest rival; therefore the prestige of both teams was at it's height. Second, since Coach Edmunds took over the job of football coach five years ago. the Red Devils have never beaten the Slicers, which is indeed a successful record for any coach to have in the history of the Slicer's football seasons. The weather was rather on the cool side but was ideal for a football game. La Porte was at full strength for the annual struggle and likewise was Michigan City. The Slicers had little trouble with the City team and whipped them 18-0. The Slicers held the Red Devils to three first downs which proved that the Slicer defense was too tough for the City Red Devils to penetrate. Thus the Slicers made if the sixth consecutive year in which the Slicers have not been defeated by Michigan City. And so the victorious Slicers ended another suc- cessful season.

Jhe Sc uctd There are many boys who receive no front page write-ups and who are not glorified by making spectacular runs or brilliant passas. These are the boys who make up the re- serve and freshman squads. These boys spend most of the time watching the games from the benches, but they are very necessary in encouraging their team-mates and rushing them on to victory. They are the backbone of the team and are vital in keeping up the spirits of the team. La Porte 18... 0.. 7.. .. 6.. . 12... 7... 0. 19 18. . ... Hobart ..... Riley........ . Elkhart ....

Coach DeCook teaches the boys various fundamentals that are so necessary to a varsity man and plays during the regular practice sessions. The reserves furnish competition for the varsity when the two teams scrimmage together. Many of the boys gain the necessary experience for later games by playing against the varsity as reserves. The reserve schedule is almost identical with the varsity with the exception of a few games. This year, they won more than fifty par cent of their games. The 43 reserve team is composed mostly of sophomores, which explains the fact that within a year or two Coach Blanda will have experienced, and therefore valuable men to work with. Next year. La Porte High School will regret losing the valuable services which Coach Raymond DeCook offered. The Coach has enlisted in the Armed Forces. We all know that he has contributed much to athletics during his few years in La Porte High School. Coach Blanda has appreciated his valuable help in coaching the reserve teams during the past four years. Coach Ray Addington has charge of the freshman team, and he has done a magnificent job in coaching the freshman boys.

(l asLetba US, eaAon The 1941-42 basketball team left the future ”43 team with six experienced lettermen, but the ”43” team was one team which you might call an exception. It was the type of team that one rarely sees. At the start of the season every coach has a tough” task to perform; that is, the task of selecting a winning combination that will click and function so that the team can win ball games. Coach Blanda found this clicking combination at the beginning of the season when the Slicers won their first two games by knocking off Knox and Fort Wayne North Side. After losing the next game to John Adams the Slicers got back in stride by whipping Valpo. Then came the Red Devils, but their speed and versatility was too much for the Slicers and the fighting Slicers went down to defeat. The rest of the season followed with the Slicers winning from Rensselaer, Plymouth, Chicago Heights, and Nappa- nee. It seems as if the Slicers could not find that winning spirit after the first couple of games. In many instances lady luck seemed to be against the Slicers. In playing against Riley of South Bend the Slicers lost the game in the closing seconds of the last quarter by one point and almost the identical incident happened in the Valparaiso game. The squad seemed to lack that last minute scoring urge. The fact that the annual Sectional was played at the Civic Auditorium was considered an important advantage for the Slicers. Two new teams took part in the Sectional game. Jackson Twp. and St. Mary's of Michigan City. Stillwell was the Slicers first opponent, but with little effort the Slicers powerful offensive play was too strong for Stillwell. After knocking off Stillwell, the Blandamen smothered LaCross. With these two victories the Slicers advanc- ed to the semi-final. Disposing of Rolling Prairie quick fashion, the Slicers faced the difficult task of beating Michigan City. The Red Devils still seemed to possess the spirit which enabled them to down the Slicers in a close and thrilling game. One fact that still impressed the fans at the end of the tournament was the sportsmanship and fighting spirit which was seen throughout the entire Sectional. In summary of the 1943 season, the Slicers won ten games while losing twelve. They scored 742 points, while their opponents scored 739 points. Next year, Coach Blanda will have five experienced lettermen in making up his 1944 basketball team. 89 Jennid The 1942 netters finished a successful season by winning five matches and losing two. Bob Allen, number two man, lead the team with 9V2 points, Tom Hay, number one man, was second with 8V2 points followed up by Osborn with 7 points and Schnieder with 5 points. Riloy.

The experience and practice begins in the high school where the golfer becomes interested in playing on the high school squad. The squad competes with different schools in northern Indiana. In recent years, the Slicer golf team has the reputation of being one of the best teams in the conference.

The ''43'' team is composed largely of underclassmen, but many of the boys have had one or two years experience. Ex- perience and cooperation are the two factors which have brought about the success of the team.

Whenever the morale and spirit is below par and the boys are fighting their hearts out to win for dear old L. P. H. S. one can almost inevitably depend on the cheer leaders to bring forth that necessary spirit which enables the boys to keep fighting and lead them on to vic- tory. This year the cheer leaders have done more than their share in keeping the spirits of the student body at a high level. We are greatly disappointed that Hugh Tyler could not finish the season, because I think we all agree that Hugh was one of the finest yell leaders that La Porte has produced in a period of five years. His place was filled ably, however, by Tom Gaeckle. Hugh was a vet- eran for two years, and we also regret losing the valuable services of lean Stewart and Doro- thy Weed.
