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

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1944 volume:

PRODUCED BY THE SENIOR CLASS LA PORTE HIGH SCHOOL LA PORTE, INDIANA These days of apprehension and struggle r have brought many changes in our thinking and even in our conversation. New words ore coined; new friends are made, and new alibis are found. Among our new acquaintances are some elfin creatures known as GREMLINS. Our aviators were the first to make their acquaintance. When they soared for into the elements and gothered sleety coats of ice on their wings, they said, “Blame it on the GREM- LINS. But the gremlins do not confine their activities to one group or one locale. There is one particular species known as the EL-PE GREMLIN, a mystic creature who defies all de- scription. These GREMLINS empty the waste paper baskets, throw worn-out pencils and papers in the halls, trip up the late-comer and cause detention-hall slips galore. Watch out for these bad GREMLINS. They'll get you and when they do, misery surely follows! Now, don't be too pessimistic. There are good ones too. They flip over a falling pencil so that the lead is not broken, they take lost be- longings to the office, soften the fall on an icy pavement when King Winter is in force. They've even been known to whisper o helpful word into the ear of a student judge softening a sentence when crime has overtaken some student. Get them on your side and you'll be doing yourself a good turn, but right now students, we all say—WATCH OUT FOR THE GREMLINS! a ciAAma ted What the war really means has been forcibly brought home to students of L. P. H. S. and especially to the Seniors when they have said goodbye to their classmates who have left to enlist in some branch of the armed forces. Their patriotism is commem- orated by the service flag, familiar now to all high school students. We should particularly like to honor those students whose names or pictures appear here, for they were members of the class of '44. We hove known them from first grade on and grown up with them. We appreciate whot they are doing and La Porte High School will be behind them until that glorious day of victory. May the good GREMLINS watch over them until that day and from that day on, forever. r These Gremlins ore good Gremlins who watch over oil our cljssmotes in uniform. A few members of our class now in service and pictured here are Roy Thayer, Bob Rhoda, Jock Grace, Clarence Moore, Casmir Brenda, Ronald Ogle, James Esbjorn, Rudy Saliwonchik, Fred Slinkord, James Kimmel. ADMINISTRATION Under the capable and conscientious leadership of the Board of Education consisting of Ben Rees, Elwood D. Hawn, Dr. G. O Larson and Paul F. Boston, the school sys- tem of La Porte has become one of the finest in the state. A new but welcome personality here is Mr. Boston, cur new Superintendent of Schools. We have known him only o few months, but his friendly manner and warm in- terest have made him well-liked by all. A man who has more trouble with the GREMLINS than any one else is our principal, John M. French. He must reprimand us as well as guide and help us. Although we do not always agree with him, his fair judgment, kind understanding, and willingness to help a student, make him a man we all respect and lik'e. We should like especially to thank the hard working office force for their patience and cooperation in every- thing from giving us detention slips to selling books. The staff includes Mrs. Leona Collins, Mrs. Jean Hilgendorf, Mrs. Genevieve Serwatka, Mrs. Frances Burden and Miss Josephine Pate. Our school nurse, Mrs. Anna Bright has done a marvellous job in keeping La Porte High School healthy. She has assisted in giving physical exams, given lectures and even treated our cuts and bruises. To one other individual we owe our thanks; for even though we may be led astray by the bad GREMLINS, our able attendance officer, Mrs. Sadie Marnes, always brings us back. Paul F. Boston John M. French FACULTY Four years ago a class of bewildered and somewhat frightened youngsters entered La Porte High School. Some were full of determination to make their marks in this be- fuddled world, and others were imbued with the impression that a group of forbidding personages, known as the faculty , held the key to this much desired knowledge. Four years ogo, we of the Senior Class of 1944, shyly and somewhat hesitatingly, start- ed on our journey. During these four trying, but fun-packed years of furthering our education, we have learned to appreciate not only the friendship of this faculty group, but also the values received from their training. Most important is the courage they have instilled in us to carry on. The war has brought many changes to the school as well as to our industries. Many of our faculty have joined the armed services and others have left us to work in war industries. Although we hated to lose those whom we had known since our fresh- man days, we welcomed the new teachers who succeeded them. In addition to their teaching responsibilities most of the faculty have other tasks. Many are working in Civilian Defense; others are wearing the arm band of the Red Cross; still others are working hard on war bond and stamp committees and other in- numerable jobs of equal importance. We now realize that teachers are not only effic- ient in classrooms but capable in many other lines. Now, more than ever before, the backbone of education, the schoolteacher, has become a civic leader. Frequent conferences, sometimes after three o'clock, school journeys, conselling periods, and industrial co-ordination hove paved the avenues of better acquaintance between pupils and faculty members, clubs, assemblies, and class parties have served a double purpose. They have been fun for the faculty and students, and they hove made students realize that the teachers too, are human beings. Much credit for our success is due to the helping hand of our counsellors. Mrs. Russell was the counsellor for the mid-term seniors until this last year when they were turned over to Mr. Hyde We appreciate her helping hand through our first three years. All the seniors wish to thank Mr. Hyde, for it was through his guidance and perserverance we were able to elect subjects best fitted to our potentialities and so- cial needs, subjects thot would help us obtain the social and business positions we as citizens wished to follow. Again we wish to thank both Mrs. Russell and Mr. Hyde for their patience and understanding. We may not have shown our gratitude at the time, but their help was deeply appreciated. We have very often found that the persons we feared ond thought were austere and unapproachable have really given us a wrong impression. Our school faculty is eager to serve the ambitions of all of us and to help us in any way they can. We, of the class of 1944, ore really proud of our faculty. In our assemblies and especially on class day, we may not show it, but nevertheless we feel that they rate among the best Our faculty is chosen from a wide field of troining. A majority are native Hoosiers, but we find thot the training fields ronge all over the United States from coast to coast. A national check-up held recently proved thot L. P. H. $. instruc- tors were well-qualified and alert to new trends in education. Each is a specialist in his own line and is eager to aid aspiring students toward the goal each aspires to. We, the Seniors of L P H S., respect the qualifications of these instructors and appreciate the privilege of their instruction ond friendship. We will strive to be worthy of the confi- dence they have placed in us. So we soy thank you, to our friends, the facu'ty. M. E. Hyde Agnes V. Anderson Dr. Leo M.

SENIOR The beginning of a new and different life in our school doys—that was the thought that greeted us os we stepped over the threshold of good old L.P.H.S. In the Gremlin World we would have been togged with the name Widget, but to the upper- classmen we were just plain green Freshies. We may have been Greenies but we knew better than to take advantage of the brilliant sales campaign put on by the elevator ticket committee. The final result of the election of officers during our freshman year was: John Hunt, president; Nan Mansfield, vice-president; Helen Meadows, secretary-treasurer We Freshies finally moved out of the Widget stage into what the Gremlin world would describe os General Utility Gremlins. Those Gremlins are allowed a few more privileges. We, as sophomores, were allowed to become members of such organization as Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. Those were the days when excitement ran high at obtaining dates for the big dances given by these groups, getting a new formal or tuxedo, or ordering your first corsage for your own pa rticular Fifinella. (Girl Gremlin to you). Our class officers for the sophomore class for that year were: Vance Knight, pres- ident; Nan Mansfield, vice-president; Helen Meadows, secretary, and Betty Berger, treasurer. We now graduated from being underclassmen to the much-coveted title of upper- classmen. We were now Juniors. In the course of events came the long-looked-for Junior Play, titled His Loving Nephews. This, in our eyes, ot the time, was a huge success. We often wondered if it was the work of the Hole-Boring Gremlins who were loosening our paper rocks from the perfectly beautiful stone wall which surrounded the garden scene. The next great event was the Prom For weeks on end our minds concentrated on nothing but an appropriate theme for our Junior Prom. We finally decided on o Mexi- can idea carried out in theme even to the floor show. It was a gratifying climax to all the hard work put forth by thg Fifinellas (Girl Gremlins) and Spandules (Boy Grem- lins) . Lois Kipp was chosen Prom Queen. This year we had elected Fred Slinkard to head our class with Danny Danielson as vice-president; Phyllis Roberts as secretary; and Helen Regan as treasurer. STORV Now come the day when we attained the goal we had set for ourselves when we were mere Widgets. We were now very proud Seniors. As soon as we had taken this nonor in our stride, the thought struck home to us that within a few short months we were to take our leave of good old L. P. H. S. But under the leadership of Gremlin Yodeling Yast as president; Fifinella Smiling Smith, vice-president; Fifinella Mert Garwood, secretary; and Gremlin Shoey Shoemaker, treasurer, we were bound and determined to make the school proud of this year's Seniors. We elected as class sponsors Miss Kelly and Mr. Beabout. One of the many problems faced by both Fifinellas and Spandules was a subject dreaded by one and all. You remember it well, don't you? 'WAR GYM.' Some of us often wondered, as we limped through the halls to and from our classes, whether or not the Sword-Nosed Gremlins had put in overtime on us. But, fortunately, we sur- vived, despite the Gremlins. This year we chose as our Senior Ploy And Came the Spring . Top honors went to our leading lady, Nina Rose Ferris, who though a stranger in our midst, gave a grand peiformance. Other honors go to the rest of the cast and to the committees for mak- ing this year's ploy such o grand success. Special thanks go to Miss McReynolds, who directed our last year's Junior Play and our Senior Play again this yeor. Thanks loads, Miss Mac. Many of our important activities still lie ahead of us and we ore looking forward eagerly to the Prom and Class Day nnd graduation. As this book goes to press, we realize that there are only a few short weeks of school left for us. In fact many of our classmates are already leaving to enter some branch of service or to take advantage of the accelerated. programs of some of our col- leges. Graduation this year is a sobering thought, but this year's class is determined to look toward the future with high resolve and hope. As we graduate from L. P. H. S.; we leave with the fervent wish that all the good Gremlins will watch over the affairs of our school—its faculty, all its Fifinellas and Spandules and next year's little Widgets . To this year's Juniors especially we offer our best wishes for a year of fun and success next year. And to all—in farewell—we say thanks for so many happy memories of a pleasant four years.

UNDERCLASS STORY The wee people, those mischievous Gremlins who dwell in every opportune spot about our school, labored with unaboted vigor to help and hinder the Underclassmen. The Gracious Gremlins contrived to help the Underclassmen by waging ceaseless war- fare against their disreputable cousins, the Grumbling Gremlins. Present at elections were the good Gremlins with their wotchful eyes on ballots and voters while the bad Gremlins hid money, lost tickets, and did everything possible to annoy the three under classes. With new and frightening responsibilities, heretofor unknown, facing them, the Juniors chose for their officers John Carter, President; Elmer Martinsen, Vice-Presi- dent; Wesley Kipp, Secretary; and Margaret Boardman, Treasurer. Capable sponsors selected were Miss De Vore and Mr. Prokl. The first chance to prove their worth come when, as is the custom of the Juniors, this enterprising class put on the annual Thanksgiving Dance. Though for a time it looked as if the Grim Gremlins might sabotage their efforts, the Juniors came through triumphantly, later adding a successful after game dance to their credit. In the spring the Juniors' fancies lightly turned to thoughts of acting as all the hopefuls turned out to try out for the Junior play, A one-act play was given as a prelude to the Junior play to preview the acting abilities of the class, The three- act play, Youth Takes Over , was directed by Miss Hall and starred Dot McCauley, Tom Osborn, Doug Porker, and Dick Winkler. As we look forward, a successful Sen- ior year is in sight for these ambitious Juniors, aided by their own Junior Gremlins. Coming up just behind were the Sophomores who, now that they had shed the title of Frosh , began to shine forth with the help of their own particular Grem- lins. To start the year right, officers chosen were Dick Kanney, President; Marge Sallwasser, Vice-President; and Bob Frederick, Secretary-Treasurer. Faculty advisors were Miss Walk and Mr. Frantz. Under their leadership the forty-sixers took their place in school. As Juniors and finally Seniors we know they'll be tops after two such successful years. Traditionally green, the new freshies were a promising class, with their own green and growing Gremlins to start them on their way. Electing Tom Chase as President; Bill Hal as Vice-President; and Nina Sytzko as Secretary-Treasurer; and choosing Miss Scott and Mr. Hobbs as their sponsors, they put themselves into excellent hands. Of course their time was partly taken up by the home room programs which proved to be of great value and other Freshman duties such as butterfly hunting and leaf collecting. In January the Freshman class was augmented by the arrival of the mid- year class and the 9'a's «assumed the more dignified title of Freshmen , leaving Freshies to their younger brothers. The coming three years look bright for this class and the three oldsters are expecting much from the youngest class. The taunting tricks of the gruesome Gremlins were unable to get the under- classmen down for the generous Gremlins lifted the Juniors, Sophomores, and Fresh- men to prosperous heights. This year has shown a good record; and as each class ad- vances a step higher on its high school career, it will look bock on this year as a happy and successful one.

We feel it is our duty to exploin the character of these noises. They were the result of the very creative, original, and diligent work that has constantly been going on in our office. Seated at the long tables, we, the editors and assistants have labored over our various sections, each trying to make his the best. Some of our rarer moments might find us busily engaged in posting pictures, typing write-ups, running errands, assembl- ing the dummy, and having fun; the Business Manager slaving over figures (Mathe- matical) . Seriously, we as all other staffs, have tried to give you a book that would bring back your experiences at L.P.H.S. more than ever before. We owe any and all success that we have made to our industrious but brow beaten Editor-in-chief and the ever helping hand of Mrs. Thomas, our sponsor. The staff includes: Editor-inChioi Joan Smith; Asst, and Photographic Editor, Dalo Blackburn; Asst. Businoss Managor and Sport Editor, Don Harayda; Business Manager, Myrtlo Trim; Art Editor, Audrey Slos, Asst. Art Editor. Helen Clark; Jr. Asst Editor, Margaret Lewis; Activities Editor, Kathryn Peglow; Senior Editor, Pat Wendt. STUDENT GOVERNMENT The government of L.P.H.S. is a government of, by, and for the students. Com- posed of o president, Danny Danielson; a vice-president, Mary Ann Tanger; a secre- tory, Frances Philippi; judge of the lower court, Tom Osborn; judge of the upper court, Doug Parker; and home room representatives, this student body under the helping hand of Mrs. Little, meets once a month to take charge of school elections, appoint the numerous standing committees, amend the school constitution and do any other school business. In this way the students get a good understanding of a democratic government many years before they reach the voting age. Firm iow: Francos Phllllppi, Tom Osborne.

Everything ran smoothly (?) until the first day of spring vacation when Midge, played by Nina Rose Farris, found herself surprisingly in the throes of first love. This man was none other than Buzz Lindsay, Don Shoemaker, who was unluckily in love with Midge's older sister, Virginia played by Helene Regan. Some of the hectic and hilarious complications into which she plunges the family almost prove disastrous. When a New York glamour girl Corolyn Webster played by Laura Wright comes to visit Virginia everything begins to happen. The climax comes on the night of the Spring Prom and Midge sets matters right in a warming and very funny manner.

This was the first day of practice and uniforms were given out. The boys realized that they had a hard season ahead of them. When school started more boys came out, the boys had more practices, more work, and what had been just a group of boys who liked to play football was being molded into a machine, the Slicers. Only four lettermen returned to fill the berths of the last season; they were, Joe Pataluch, Whitey Pearson, Dick Trubey, Dick Stayton. The Slicers played on a rain-soaked field for their first game, and the Riley Wildcats chalked up a 20 to 0 victory. In the next game La Porte trounced Elkhart for their first conference win of the season ond for their first victory over Elkhort since 1934. The Valpo Vikings were the next to fall to the mighty Slicer eleven, when the Slicers de- feated them 39 to 0. In the next game with the Goshen Redskins, the old jinx of the wet field and a heavier Goshen team all added up to a Slicer defeat. The Slicers just couldn't get rolling after their last defeat and lost to a hard driving Washington team. In the next unexpected upset of the season, the Slicers lost to the John Adams Eagles, giv- ing the Eagles their second win of the season. In a sensational burst of power the Slicers trampled the Hobart Brickies with a 40 to 7 victory. More than any other time during the season the Slicers showed a powerful forward wall and a high speed offense by the backfield. La Porte fell to the Mishawauka Maroons in a hard felt duel, which was the last game of the season on the La Porte field. Then came that last and most important game of the season, with our blood rivals Michi- gan City, on a cold windy night. Both the Red Devils and the Slicers were at full strength and it was a nip and tuck struggle all the way, and though we gave them a good battle we ended up on the short end of the score. Only a few lettermen will return next fall as many of the team have graduated or have been colled to service. However Coach Edmonds will have plenty of good material coming back next year and will find some good material from Coach Addington's Freshman team, which has made a fine showing this year. The Slicers had some tough breaks but the student body was behind them. Next year we hope the Good Gremlins will be on the side of the football team.

There are many boys who sit on the bench all seoson; they receive no glory on front page writeups; they make no spectacular runs or breath-taking blocks but these boys ore the backbone of the team. Without their hard work, tireless efforts and great fighting spirit the varsity would not be as successful. To these boys and those who will occupy these places next year, may you have a very successful season.

By the excellent guidance of our new coach Norman Hubner, the superior playing ability of our team, and their magnificent fighting spirit, which seemed to come out when the going got the toughest we went to the finals of the I.H.S.A.A. tournament at Indianapolis os one of the four best teams in the state of Indiona La Porte got off to a fine start in the latter part of November as they crushed Knox and North Side Fort Wayne. In the third game, however, La Porte met too stiff competition in Cast Chicago Washington, and lost their first game. No sooner hod they got back in the winner's circle by pushing over John Adams than they lost a heart-breaker to Michigan City in an overtime game. The Slicers again won a game over Renssolaer before losing to Elkhart. La Porte gained their stride again as they whipped eight straight teams, including a virtual slaughter of the Red Devils from Michigan City. The winning streak and Conference lead were cut short, however, by a loss to South Bend Central in a thriller of a game. The season was finished with wins over Valporaiso and South Bend Washington. La Porte tied for second with John Adams in the Conference while Elkhart won the laurels. In total points, the Slicers scored the highest number of points of any team in the conference. Also, Hap Belzowski won the individual scoring honors with 112. La Porte played in the sectional at Michigan City, and wos heavily fovored to take it. La Porte routed Clinton and Westville, the Slicers scoring 88 points against the latter for the highest tournament score. In the semi-final and final tournament games of the sectional. La Porte overwhelmed Michigan City and St. Mary's of Michigan City. At the Hammond Regional the Slicers proved too much for the boys from Mt. Ayr in the first game, and in the finols the Slicers' fast passing and offensive game broke Emerson's zone defense to pieces. Four days before the Semi-finals of Hammond, La Porte lost the services of their star guard. Jack Wendt, who was called to report to the air corps. This, however, failed to stop the rampaging Slicers as they sped to victory in the last few minutes over both Frankfort and Culver. One of the vital factors leading toward the La Porte victories was the fact that the whole student body and people of La Porte were united in backing the Hub- ner boys. The honorable captain of the La Porte Slicers for the season is Dick Schnieder and the most valuable player is Hap Belzowski. La Porte scored in the regular season and also in the tournament the unbelieveable total of 1162 points, while holding their opponents to the small total of 833 points. The average points per game that were scored is 43.08, while hold- ing down our opponents to only 30.85 points per game. The players of the Slicers who were on the Sectional, Regional, and Semi-final all-star teams were Jack Wendt, Dick Schnieder, Hap Belzowski, and Walt Radecki. Next year there will be seven varsity berths wide open since many lettermen have carried for the last time the good old colors of orange and black. These players are: Hap Belzow- ske, Roach Rucker, Bitso Schneider, Issie Wendt, Duke Radecki, Deoner Carter, and Red Reiter. With the experience acquired by the rest of the varsity ond the excellent showing of the Reserves, the Slicers may duplicate this yeor's record under Hubner. Coach Ray Addington has charge of the freshman and sophomore basketball teams, and they seem also to have given top ranking performances this season. RESERVE BASKETBALL Standing: Dave Stovoneon.

But this year the luck and skill of our boys carried them further than ever before. After going through the regular season with 14 wins and 4 losses they continued their miraculous work and set their goal for the State tournament. Their first opposition was the Sectionals held at Michigan City. La Porte carried off the title here. The following week found the team at Hammond competing for the Regional Crown. In a thrilling final game they beat a previously undefeated team, Culver, and won the Regional Crown. Because of this they were next permitted to try their luck at Hammond again for capturing the title of Semi- Final champs. This they did and so they went on to the state . The story changes a little here as our La Porte Slicers were defeated but only in scoring. Their fine teamwork and in- dividual skill of each and every player places cur Slicers among the Champions and we are proud of them.

Due to unfortunate cir- cumstances the original trio of Joe Wise, Tom Gaekle, and Gloria Ryan changed to Hoover, Pelz, Gaekle, and Ryan. Despite the changing of the yell leaders the student body's loyalty to the group did not waver. They did a fine job of keeping up the team's spirit at pep sessions and at all games. Margaret Hoover Tom Gaekle Louis Pelz Gloria Ryan BASEBALL As the first signs of spring oppeor the majority of people look forward to the great Ameri- can pastime, baseball. La Porte High School offers no exception in playing baseball. Coach Hubner gives the call for the baseball team and immediately the team begins to work itself into shape in the gym until the weather gets nice enough; then they go to the Fox Park Field to ploy a game. By the turnout of candidates, it looks like we will have a very successful sea- son.
