MR. ROY B. JULIAN. Superintendent ROY B. JULIAN — State Teachers ' College ; Butler College, A. B.; Indiana University, A. M.; gradu- ate work. University of Chicago. Agreeable, fre- quent assembly speaker, paternal interest in all students. While the VALENIAN is published by the senior class, it is the pride of all the boys and girls in Valparaiso Schools. The school history which it records is Valparaiso school history. The pictures which adorn its pages are pictures of our friends. The youngest pupils in the system look for- ward to the time when they can help build this book. We value this publica- tion not so much for its intrinsic value as for the many things it symbolizes. Days of play, days of work, hours of happiness, hours of anxiety, are all called to mind as we turn the pages. Our most sincere wish is that the staff had as much pleasure in creat- ing the book as the rest of us will have in possessing it. Roy B. Julian, Superintendent Four years of association with these buildings have endeared them to our hearts. They seem a second home to us, for here are the scenes of our early steps to- ward knowledge of hfe. SOUTH ENTRANCE AND DRIVE Ten
