Present conditions point to a still more successful season as the team is clicking, and hitting and team-work are reaching a new high. The remaining games to be played are looked forward to with confidence and a fine competitive spirit. Leading the hit parade is Leo Phaneuf with a high average of .400, followed by Joe Acus who hammered out two home runs in the Hrst game of the season. Captaining the team is Frank Ccberek, who is a steadying influence to his hurl- ers and fielders and an unsteadying influence to opposing hurlers. The team is comprised of the following: Capt. Frank Ceberek, Leo Phaneuf, Walter Zaik, Stanley Kaminski, Vincent Forkey, Joe Aeus, Fran Fortier, Fred Hanneck, Henry Jurkowski, and Harvey Vincent. Athletes who were active in three sports and received letters in all three are: Fran Fortier, Fred Hanneck, and Henry Jurkowski, all of whom starred in soccer, basketball, and baseball. Joe Lakovich, manager, also received letters in three sports. Ed Soucy, whose heavy hitting and fine defensive play was sadly missed in baseball, was a two-letter man, having been captain in soccer and basketball before leaving school. TENNIS Tennis was a new game introduced to the sports curriculum during the 1936 season. Comprising the quartet were: Pudge Russell, Joe Klaczak, Ray Meggi- son, and Alton Gillan. The team made its debut against Northampton High and came out victorious, 4-2. Victories were gained by Russell, Meggison, and Gil- lan in the singles, by Mcggison and Russell in the doubles, while Klaczak lost in his singles and then the doubles with Gillan. With everyone clicking, defeats were pinned on South Hadley, 6-0, Nortliampton, 4-2, and Palmer, 5-1, followed by successive ties with Enfield, Turners Falls, and Greenfield. St. Michaels was trimmed by a 6-0 count before E. H. S. tasted its first defeat of the season at the hands of Greenfield, 4-1, But this did not stop the continuation of the team's winning form, for in the next contest a victory was gained over Monson High, 4-2. Ray Meggison ran up a string of nine straight victories in his single matches before going down in his tenth encounter, then returning to the win column in his eleventh match. Pudge Russell and Alton Gillan we1'c victorious in six out of eleven singles, while Klaczak managed to make it five out of eleven. Tolchinsky also saw action as he paired up with Klaczak in the South Hadley match to win in the doubles, 6-0, 6-4.. The tennis ladder is as follows: Fudge Russell, Joe Klaczak, Ray Meggison, Alton Gillan, Bernard Tolehinsky, Stan Czajkowski, Ed Beretska, Chet Lukan- owiez, Walt Rockford, Jimmie Eisenstock, and Bill Barnett.

Valparaiso is but fifty miles from Chicago, situated on U. S. Highway 30. In contrast to most of the mid-western towns, it is not level, but is situated on the side of a large, sloping plain. It has a population of about seven thousand, and boasts the name of 'city'. Being a county seat, it has in the center of the city a large court house which, unfortunately, was destroyed by fire only last year. The city is laid out in blocks, and its streets are lined with beautiful shade trees. So much for the city. Valparaiso University was once upon a time able to boast that it was the second largest university in the United States. It accepted men and women from all walks of life, and concentrated only upon numbers, at one time having over five thousand students enrolled. Even illiterate people were accepted, special provision being made to give them the most education in the sho1'test time. The uplifting of educational standards at the beginning of the twentieth century, however, proved a downfall for the University. Public grade and high schools began to increase in number and soon Valparaiso limited its enrollment to grad- uates of high schools. Then the war came, and the campus was turned into a barracks. Although instruction continued, the University was practically at a standstill in relation to numbers. After the war, financial difficulties on the part of the backers prevented its regrowth. Finally, in 1925, the Lutheran Assoc- iation purchased the Unversity, and a new era was begun. Today, Valparaiso boasts an enrollment of four hundred and fifty stu- dents from over thirty states, although by far the majority come from Indiana and Illinois. As for buildings, it boasts of nothing pretentious, but all of its equip- ment is kept up to date. There is for instance its law library of 12,000 volumes- probably ranking third in size in the state of Indiana-and its general library containing much research material. Even at the present moment, plans are actually being drawn for a new gymnasium and library building, and it is a cer- tainty that these buildings will be completed within three years. As for the students here, there is but one striking difference between them and the students of the average Eastern college-and that is their age. Although I am now completing my fourth year at college, I find that the age of the average freshman who entered here this year was just about my age at present. The difference I' find due to the comparatively high age requirements for stud- ents entering grade schools. Many of the grade schools in the Central states re- quire a person to be six years of age before he can enter school, and some even require him to be seven. Then, too, I find that it is quite usual for a student to work for a year or two after leaving high school before he enters college. This is done in order to broaden the student's mind and to give him a taste of the world as it really is and the custom is followed often by those students whose parents have an abundance in order to impress upon their minds the value of money. I find student life here to be comparatively the same as at Massachusetts State, which I was fortunate enough to attend before coming here. The students here are quite friendly, and make it almost a business to make as many friends thirty-eight
