Stcr A (PMuAi Even before the 1942 Valenians had been distri- buted, work was begun on the 1943 year book. The editor -in -chief and the business manager were elected last year and got their pre-flight training with last year ' s staff. The other seven members of the staff were chosen at the beginning of this year. The complete staff, working study periods, after school, and some of the members during week- ends and vacations, lets the contracts, writes the copy, plans the book, and under the direction of Mrs. Foor arranges all the nec- assary details in the print- ing of a Valenian. The financing is direct- ed by Miss Clare McGilli- cuddy. In previous years, each senior paid dues and received free copies of the year book, but now the cost is met by the sale of candy, ice-cream, and milk during the noon hour and after school and the sale of candy at the basketball games. This, with the sale of the annuals themselves, covers the expense of en- graving, printing, and binding which amounts to about $1400. Beginning ' at the top we see the following: Walter Bauer, Literary Editor; Mrs. Foor, sponsor; Bryce Billings, Editor-in-chief. James Briscoe, Boys ' Sports Edi- tor; Harriet Arnold, Girls ' Sports Editor; Marshall Handschy, Art Editor. Henry Pahl, Activities Editor; Mary Nolan, Business Manager. Malcolm Varner, Wilma Berkey. Snapshot Editors.

Jhom 8to9 Probably the greatest aids in developing students for future social life arc the clubs of V. H. S. Several branches of scholastic curriculum are represented in these groups. There are also two service organizations in the school which serve the school and community in cer- tain activities. Other organizations are established to aid students in learning vocations or are based upon hobbies of the students. 25

i, (Papen nnua The Vatpost, published bi-weekly by the advanced journalism class under the supervision of Mrs. Emma R. Foor, was edited this year by a staff of eight members in the first se- mester, and eight again in the second. Each of these groups were trained in the princi- ples of journalism in the previous semester. The fall staff ' s first duty was to sell advertisements and solicit subscriptions to fi- nance the publication. The cost runs close to $700 for the sixteen issues put out by both fall and spring- staffs. Although the printing is done by a local printer, the students do all the proof reading, copy read- ing, and all the other me- chanics of journalism. The Valpost belongs to the International Quill and Scroll, The National Scho- lastic Press Association and the Indiana High School Press Association, and consistently has been awarded first class honor rating. The staff covers as com- pletely as it can, all phases of high school activity. Beginning at the top we see the following: Paul Specht, Art Editor; Mary Thrun, Harriet Arnold, Check Stories; Class folds papers; Mrs. Foor, sponsor; makes assignments.
