Miss Mclntyre. who has heen the faithful friend and adviser of the Class of 1910, we sincerely dedicate this Annual. THE FACULTY 1. Mr. Hughart — He patiently reviews Reviews with every Senior class, but in his 1910 class there has been no bone of contention — not even in the study of physi- ology. 2. Mr. Skinkle- He thinks in figures; talks on the square and is always suggesting propositions. 3. Miss Mclntyre — She lives among the Ancients: she digs among the minds; her heart ' s for school and history; she lives and works and grinds. 4. Mr. Miller- His work is symbolic of things scientific; and he has taught by equation and formula that, 3 good recitations, 4- 2 days lab. = A for 1 wk. 5. Miss Benney — Tell me not in mournful numbers, Latin is a language dead; Caesar still lives among us; with delight his works are read. 6. Mr. Wedeking — The Geliebter Herr Wedeking is a splendid species of the German Prof. Plant, and is quite invaluable in the Faculty garden: but it is a very modest plant, and makes no display of its brilliancy. 7. Miss McKinnis— She has taught sewing so long that she has been able to sow into the minds of her inexperienced students an inspiration of how to sew so well that they have become accomplished sewers. 8. Miss demons — Her very foot hath music in it as she comes up the stairs. 9. Mr. Marine — He thinks in debits and credits, he talks with a free muscular movement, he walks with the straight-line exercise, he writes with dots and dashes. 10. Miss MacQuilkin— A strange inconsistency here we find, a small mouth and a gigantic mind; But still ' tis tho ' t, she manages tolerably to express herself in English volubly. 11. Mr. Wallace- Altbo ' he instructs his students in the Manual Training Department to hammer, plane, and knock, he, himself, is no knocker.

NINETEEN TEN HIS is our golden year, its golden day; Its happy memories ne ' er will pass away. We hear our summons, — Class of Nineteen Ten. None such has ever been, nor e ' er will be again. Twenty-eight Seniors, twenty-eight — no more — Have passed the streams and reached the higher shore. Look backward, Seniors, not with faded eyes. And see the past years as I bid them rise. How brief the time; and yet it sweeps us back Far. far along a bright remembered track ! I. Four strides like this; MacQuilkin ruled the school; We were all Freshmen, obeying every rule ; Freshmen with simple souls that slash and slay, And stick at nothing if it isn ' t play. There was real pleasure in our Freshman year. Still to our memory ever bright and clear. II. Again to still retreats, to Sophomores turned The mildewed pages of the past, we learned With endless labor of the sleepless brain Which once has been but ne ' er will be again, AVe reap the harvest of that ceaseless toil And find a fragrance in that midnight oil. Much could I tell you that you know too well; Much I remember that I will not tell. We studied, worked and toiled ; we dreamed like you, Smiled at our teachers, and thought how much we knew. Sophomores with eyes on lofty heights, Where Fame stood beckoning in the rosy lights. III. Another stride. Once more in Nineteen Nine As Juniors we fell in the new formed line! With happy hearts we reached the classic halls, And sought more knowledge beneath the frescoed walls. Time brought experience, Sophomores were wise; But Oh! how sharp are Juniors ' ears and eyes. Imps of all mischief, heaven alone knows how, We had many faults, but are all angels now. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, 19 IV. Oho footstep more — the fourth receding stride Brings to our feet that which four years divide; And we our blooming Senior-hood attain; And smiling join the long Commencement train. Seniors, by Juniors and Sophomores revered, Loved, honored, trusted, and by Freshmen feared; Such happy faces, one with pride recalls, That graced the High School ' s spacious study halls. Schoolmates, farewell! The last declining ray Fades to the twilight of our golden day; Some lessons yet our wearied brains may learn, Some leaves perhaps, in life ' s thin volume turn, Hut by the pale glimmer of the torch reversed, Not • ' Finis. but The End of Volume First !

PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1910 OX a gloomy night this spring, pondering over many things. I be- thought me of my old friend. Mr. Heimenstiefer, and seeking him out in his famous observatory, found him at his astrological work, easting the horoscope for some new star, by which he would be able to tell the past, present, and future. As I entered he paused, and announced that he had .just discovered the star which disclosed the future of the class of 1910, and if I would listen, he would give me a glimpse of its future. Thus he proceeded: The star indicates that the class as a whole is very brilliant and has had u pial in any class thai has ever passed out of the Valparaiso High School. They have done more unusual things and established precedents that no class has dared to do. Adjusting his telescope he paused and in solemn, monotonous tones he proclaimed : I see a crew on shipboard in the evening, playing dice. The game is interrupted by the entrance of a short, chubby, jolly man whose discomfiture HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 25 causes even his friends to smile. He is the ship ' s cook, Charlie Hahnkamp, and is puffing ' from the exertion caused by carrying a tray of eatables to the men. To the spacious stage of a large theatre, my eyes are next directed. The audience is in an uproar. Before them is a ridiculous old lady, parading the stage in a fit of anger at the mischievous pranks of her son. Only those who knew her when a girl could recognize the features of Dorothy Arvin. I now come upon a peaceful old homestead in the Sunny South. Mary Boyer has found her mate, and the couple ' s happiness is complete, for their small troubles number only nine. A little school building in a remote part of heathenish Africa looms up before me. Such an unruly class as Beulah has to manage! It is no wonder that she is losing her courage. But a better life is in store for her. for I see her. a few years later, the happy wife of a tailor, and her work now is ' pressing. ' My eyes now wander to a large building. I see parrots, birds, a pond of fish, and in one corner a cage of lions, being tamed by one glance of the powerful eyes of Mable Brummitt. A business office glides into my view. In an armchair, gazing dreamily into space, sits Harwood Earle. He is one of the busiest men of the day— indeed, so busy that he hasn ' t even time to get married. Now I see the keeper of a large auditorium in Denver, Colorado. Floyd is living a single life of bliss, but is an envy to the mothers of marriageable young ladies of the city. I behold the jungles of Africa. A festive scene is in their midst. The cannibals are having a feast, in honor of a new arrival. James; who, with a sad mien, is quoting scripture, and in spite of their ravenous intent is trying to save their poor souls. A public platform now floats before my eyes. On it, with her eyes blazing, and her arms wildly gesticulating. I see Maud Creen. She is ad- dressing the world upon the subject of ' The Advantages of Teaching Out West. ' I hear sweet strains of music It is a wedding march. Many eyes are riveted upon the handsome couple. Lottie is bearing a (Payne) to the altar. Now I am looking upon a brilliantly illuminated sign, hanging before a large building. It reads: ' Wanted — A man. ' Call on Gertrude Trough. 1304 Fulton Ave. ' The black eyes of Mary Finn peer at me through the prison bars. Her husband is keeper of the jail. A thin, serious-faced woman is emerging from a dog-show. Nothing is more enjoyable to Mabel than her dogs, the mew of her cat. and her parrot ' s silly babble. Husband. ' No. I sec no such object in her future. 26 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. Beraice is vainly trying to captivate the American public with her famous rag-times, but gives it up in disgust. Later I see her yielding to the persuasive tones of a scissors-grinder. A foot-race speeds through my vision. One particular spot of excite- ment attracts my attention. Percy has forgotten all his dignity and reserve and with collar half-way off and hands madly gesticulating, he is applauding some one. Who can it be? Oh. yes, Harry now bounds into view and with one last mighty effort reaches the goal first. Eda Lawrence is now presenting herself with a smiling countenance. I can ' t quite see what she is doing. Oh, yes, patching clothes for the half a dozen little ones around her who are continually swallowing buttons, tearing up her precious flowers, pinching the cat ' s tail, etc. A large circus sign meets my eyes, which announces that Forepaugh ' s wild west show has a new treat for the public. They will exhibit the famous dancing woman, Minnie Lemster. Ninah Mann appears now. She is one of Chicago ' s leading society women and is startling the whole world by her marriage to a million-dollar lad. Leeta McCue has an old homestead in the country. She is tending to the poultry on the farm. ' As a sister of charity in the Convent of St. Mary, I can see Ella Mc- Gillieuddy. She is making herself famous by her works of charity, and is bringing sunshine to the hearts of the poor. I am now witnessing a storm of angry words between Grace Moore and Jessie Ray. Both man-haters, they are nevertheless fighting about a man. Both demand him. I cannot see the outcome. Katherine must be married; at least I can see six husbands. What she did with the first five I can ' t tell; but I see one down south in a hermitage, hiding whenever a woman comes near. I now see a prison yard. The prisoners are hard at work, being driven on by the relentless voice of Louise. Yes, she is indeed manager of the yards, strange as it may seem. A short, serious-faced woman is now greeting me. She, Cora Smith, is en- deavoring, by means of a rope ladder, to scale a wall, seeking for her lost parrot. Sighing deeply, Mr. Heimenstiefer, after another long pause, continued: I see you. Agnes, in a little log cabin out west. You have taken up land and are bemoaning the fate which took you there, living the lonely life of an old maid. My friend now gently hinted that he had nothing more to tell me and with a feeling of satisfaction, mingled with gloom. I left the observatory and wended my way home. AGNES WINNEGUTH. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 27 THE PSALM OF THE STUDY HALL (With apologies to Mr. Longfellow.) ELL ME NOT in mournful numbers Study-hairs an empty dream; For the student ' s nipped that slumbers, And things are surely what they seem. Here study ' s real ! study ' s earnest ! And for us A is the goal; So A thou art, as A thou comest Here! Peace to thy soul! Not enjoyment and not pleasure Is our destined end and way, But to act as if we liked it When we know we have to stay. Time is long and is not fleeting When in study-hall we sit. And our hearts — they almost fail us When the hours won ' t go a hit. In the school ' s broad field of battle, In the study-hall of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle. Be a hero in the strife. Trust no promise, howe ' er pleasant. Do not he so coward-like; Act ! Act in the present ! Comrades. Seniors! 0, let us strike! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime. And, by kicking, leave behind us. Hoof-marks on the Sands of Time! So, dear comrades! So, dear Seniors, Let us kick and let us tight! Better ' tis to die. than study In a poky hole by night! Let us. then, be up and doing. With a heart for any fate! Study-hall we will abolish At. we hope, an early date! — D. A. and M. L. 28 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

Jessie Ray. William Moore. Mable Brummitt. THE LITERARY SOCIETY ON THE afternoon of February 4. 1909. eight members of the Val- paraiso High School met for the purpose of forming a debating society. Six of them — James McNiece, Ninah Mann, Floyd Foster, Minnie Lemster, Charles Hahnkamp, and Grace Moore — were mem- bers of the class of 1910. The debating society was formed, and meetings were held in the German room of the High School. Soon after other members of the class — Percy Lawrence, Mable Brummitt, Maude Green, Jessie Ray, and Dorothy Arvin — joined them. Eleven debates were held before the school year ended — good debates, all of them. The members of the society entered into the work with a good spirit and made of it an unqualified success. At the beginning of the present school year, these people — now Seniors — met and reorganized, but this time on broader lines ; the debating society be- came the Literary Society. Debating was to be no small part of the work, but other things were brought in — music, readings, current events, reports, and papers on any subject that could be of interest to High School students. The membership was increased by enrolling the whole Senior class. It now became necessary to seek a larger meeting room, and hereafter meetings were held in the High School Assembly room instead of the German room. Maude Green was the first president of the Literary Society, and served for six meetings. Floyd Foster was at the same time elected secretary, which position he filled for the whole year. During Miss Green ' s presidency a con- stitution was adopted, the society was completely organized, and before she left office success was assured. Many good programs were given during this HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 29 time. At the first meeting a debate on the question of capital punishment was the most important feature. Another one. on an educational test for voters, was held during these first six meetings. Other good things were given, among them a paper on The Age of Congresses, a report on the Evils of Woman and Child Labor, and a History of Valparaiso. A eouple of old-fashioned spelling matches were held, in which the members had a chance to show how little they knew about spelling. At one of these matches, the principal of the High School. Mr. Skinkle, was actually spelled down! At another meeting every member was called upon to give a three-minute talk on some topic of present day interest. Musical numbers which made the program much more enjoyable were given at almost every meeting. Ninah Mann next held tin office of president for a term of six weeks. The chief event during this time was a mock murder trial extending over four meetings, in which all the formalities of a real trial were observed. All the people who take part in such trials were there — the judge, the jury, the attor- neys, the defendant, the witnesses, and so on. down to the court reporter, their parts being taken by members of the class. An indictment was read against the defendant, who plead not guilty. the jury was selected and sworn in, and the trial began. Witnesses were examined, cross-examined, and dismissed; the lawyers made their pleas. The jury, after being out a short time, returned a verdict of not guilty. and the trial was over. By participtation in this trial, the members learned much more about legal methods and such things than they could have learned in long hours of study. Other things of interest during these six weeks were a spelling match and a debate on the subject. Resolved, that the scientific man has done more for the world than the literary man. which debate was unjustly criticized by Mr. Miller as having been taken mostly from books. The third president of the Literary Society was Minnie Lemster. who served from the thirteenth meeting until the society was discontinued because of the nearness of graduation. Several good numbers were given during this period, among them a paper on Emperor Francis Joseph, a talk on The English Budget. and a report on The Origin and Growth of the News- paper. A debate was held on the question, Resolved, that the tariff is the cause of the high cost of living. the result of which fully acquitted the tariff. On February the 21st the society gave a public entertainment in the Assembly Room before the High School, the seventh and eighth grades and many out- side visitors. The program was in commemoration of the anniversaries of the births of Washington and Lincoln. The main features of the entertain- ment were biographies and anecdotes of these great men. patriotic readings, patriotic airs, and a debate on the direct election of United States senators. The program was a remarkable success, and showed the work the society was doing. The last debate given before the society was a humorous one. on the subject, Resolved. That the mop is of more benefit to humanity than 30 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. the dish rag. The best humorists and debaters in the society arrayed them- selves on one side or the other of this question. The people who heard this debate went away feeling that they had had a good evening ' s laugh. The Literary Society has been of great benefit to the members and to the High School. In all the meetings the forms and methods of parliamentary procedure were strictly adhered to, and thus the members gained a knowledge of how public meetings are conducted, and could, if necessary, take an active part in them. Another thing that it did was to give them the ability to speak in public. The average High School graduate would have an attack of stage fright if called upon to appear before an audience, but the 1910 graduate is an exception to this rule. By taking part in debates, making reports, and giving speeches, he has been able to conquer this feeling and to acquire the power to speak in public in a natural and easy manner. But these are not the greatest benefits which resulted from these meet- ings. The people who made reports, gave talks and took part in debates, gained an intimate knowledge of some of the fundamental problems before the world today; the social, political and economical problems which they will some day be called upon to assist in solving. An immense number of subjects have been discussed; only the most important of which have been enumerated. Political problems were considered, the advancement of civiliza- tion reported, social reforms were followed, and the great problems before the people were debated. The people who studied and investigated these sub- jects communicated their knowledge to their fellow members. The result was a general culture which the regular High School course does not give. One of the advantages of this work was that while they were gaining knowledge they were at the same time deriving pleasure from it. The frequent meetings fostered among the members a kind of class spirit, a feeling of good fellowship. They came to know and appreciate each other better. The class became more of a unit. Nineteen meetings were held dur- ing the year, all of which were enjoyed. A couple of entertainments were held in the gymnasium under the auspices of the society and these w T ere enjoyed by all so fortunate as to be present. For the things which the society has done, credit should be given first of all to the members of the class, who. by their work and participation in the exercises, made the society possible. For the many good programs which have been presented, Grace Moore, chairman of the program committee, is chiefly responsible. Miss Melntyre, by her attendance at the meetings, and by the aid and sympathy extended to the members, has earned their ever- lasting thanks. The Faculty, by active aid and co-operation with the mem- bers, has done much to make the society a success. To the Faculty is due the organization of the Junior class into a similar society, thus insuring that the good work will be continued next year. It is to be hoped that an organiza- tion of this kind will become a permanent factor in the school life of the Valparaiso High School. FLOYD FOSTER. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. :; i Literature of the German Reformation ANY interesting men lived ;it the time of tin most important of whom are Martin Luth German Kef urination, ■ and Emperor Maxi- milian I. These characters have been used in stories by great mas- ter minds such as Goethe, Schiller. Wilhelmine von Hillern and oth- ers. Schiller immortalized the Tell Legend and als ade of the story of Joan of Arc a wonderful psychological drama. Fran Wilhelmine von Hillern appropriated the spirit of the reformation in her delightful little story entitled Holier ' als die Kirche. With the skill of a true artist, she wove about the little village of Breisach and its legends, a story which is enter- taining and interesting. It is entertaining because of the naive way in which the legend is made to serve the purpose of the author, and interesting because of the facts relating to the Reformation. The Reformation period is probably the most interesting period in the history of Germany. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries seem at first sight to present nearly a blank in the history of German literature. They are in sonic respects the darkest in mediaeval history; they were certainly the most confused; and whether we take the political, the religious or the literary clement, we shall have equal difficulty in finding an easy path through the chaos. The literature of this time was crude in form and violent in temper, but deeply interesting in its message. In the songs of the common people one could hear the weak echoes of the epic and niiiine-soiig. gradually dying of their own weakness and already had commenced the fermentation which pre- ceded the great religious movement, and which was destined to influence nearly all the literature of the next century. The reformation was heralded by pamphlets and | ins. as well as by sermons. All the principal reformers rose at once. The daring and inde- pendent spirit which grew from their strong spiritual convictions was felt in all their works. In striving to attain the clearest utterance of their views, they forgot the conventionalities of literature and unconsciously acquired a higher literary style. By singing what they felt to be God ' s truth, they im- bued their songs with a new sweetness and strength drawn from the heart. It was no time for purely aesthetic development; neither fancy nor imagina- tion could find a place in that stern, disturbed atmosphere. But the basis was then laid, on which immortal literature was founded. The man who re-created the German language was Martin Luther. He was great in many respects, as a personal character, as a teacher, a preacher and finally as an author. Although Luther cannot be classed as a great author, some of his hymns are ranked among the best. IIv translated the Bible eighty years before our English version was produced. This was Luther ' s greatest literary achievement, and at the same time the greatest literary event 32 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. of the .sixteenth century. It laid the foundation of a common culture for all ranks of society, and opened a whole intellectual world to the people. Luther ' s Bible made High German the literary language. Two of Luther ' s contemporaries were Zwingli and Ulric von Hutten. They worked simultaneously, but in different ways and with very different degrees of literary merit. Zwingli was polemical. Hutten satirical, and Luther creative. The satire and rapid ease of movement in Hutten ' s Dialogues surpass any German prose before him. but they, like all German prose up to that time, are marked by the local dialect of the author. The hymns — or devotional poems — written by Luther ' s contemporaries, have a greater or less resemblance to his in form and style. Some of them were rough in measure and almost crude in diction, others have some fluency and melody with no special literary merit. To read them after having read Luther is like reading Dr. Watts after having read Milton ' s Hymn on the Nativity. The greatest secular poet of the first half of the sixteenth century was Hans Sachs. He was a hunter in Maximilian ' s service and had made the per- sonal acquaintance of Luther. His sincere belief in Protestantism gave much of his poetry a religious and didactic character. His lyrics and short dramatic pieces are full of nature and grace. He seems to be the happiest when both the subject and sentiment are what is called burgerlich. that is, belonging to the solid, thrifty, middle class. At first it may seem remarkable that, with such elements as Luther ' s prose, and the birth of a true poetry among the people, there was not an immediate revival of literature in Germany. The new faith, however, did not bring peace, but discord. If arms silence laws, they silence letters all the more speedily. Thus toward the close of the sixteenth century, when Spain. Italy and England were rejoicing in their classic age of literature, the finer mind of Germany .seemed to lie dead. But for Luther ' s achievements the Age of the Reformation would seem to be one of battled promise, separated by dreary centuries from the literature of the Middle Ages, on the one hand, and that of the modern period on the other. Yet. as the strong foundations of an edifice must some- times wait long for the building of the superstructure, so here the basis of the later development was complete. LEETA McCUE.

HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS N ORDER to give the Senior Class first place in their Annual, the Juniors will now tell only a little of their doings. But beware! they arc but saving their eloquence until 1911, when they will be mighty Seniors. It might be well to say that the class of ' 11, which surpasses all other Junior classes, expects to he the finest class of Seniors ever sent out from the walls of V. II. S. The Junior class, although it has done nothing wonderful as yet, still has reason to feel proud of itself. Has it not taken the initiative in many projects? Did it not give the first Friday afternoon exercise in the Assembly Hall, thus setting an example for the eloquent and rather lengthy Senior program which came later. ' Did it not pay the first installment on the shrubbery which will sonic day beautify our school grounds? Besides these worthy deeds, the Juniors, answering the challenge of the Seniors, defeated them in debate, proving that four years in college is more beneficial than four years ' travel abroad. But in giving a history, it would he but propel ' and fitting to begin at the beginning. The first thing the class did was to organize. At this organization it was discovered that no one could fill the president ' s chair so well and grace- fully as Ruth Evans. Margaret Peirce was elected secretary, and William Strahl. treasurer. (I fear William has had but little to treasure.) Shortly after the organization, the class arranged for a lecture, which was given in the Assembly Hall by the Hon. Mr. E. I). Crumpacker. The proceeds from this entertainment started the shrubbery fund. Not long after this, a Whittier program was given by the Juniors, assisted by the orchestra, and Mrs. Sisson, who gave a charming talk on Whittier ' s home. Besides this public program, the Juniors have had Lincoln, Lowell, Longfellow and Bryant programs at their private meetings, to say nothing of debates and spelling matches. One meeting was held at the home of Grace Mains, who entertained the Juniors royally. Another jolly occasion was the spread in the High School • gym. where the Juniors ate, drank, toasted, and were merry. The St. Patrick ' s pro-gram and party given at the beauti- ful home of .Mildred Loring, was enjoyed by Juniors and Faculty alike. Irish stories, music, games and green ice cream all contributed to the pleasure of the guests. These jolly times have helped counteract the tiring effects of Latin and Geometry, and have awakened the true Junior spirit. The Juniors have also been active in athletics. The class has been repre- sented on every team in the V. H. S.. from the be ginning of its history. This year they contributed Felton, Stinchfield and Strahl (Sub.), to one of the best basket ball teams ever known in the V. II. S. It was mainly through their efforts that the team has earned its title of the Champion of Northern In- diana. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. zr Lest unbelievers scoff and say. The .Juniors have no class colors, it is wise to state here that they have them, although they arc not much in evidence. Gray and red are the chosen colors of the class. As all Junior classes give the graduating class a farewell entertainment, this class was no exception to the rule. The last efforts (and pennies) of the Juniors were spent in an attempt to carry out t he time-honored custom, and send the Seniors on their way rejoicing. Here ends the history of the Junior lass, and the next chapter will open with the deeds of one of the greatest Senior classes of the V. II. S.. the class of 1911. DOROTHY HEWITT. With Profuse Apologies to Edmur (Revised Edition of Paragraph 9 in Burke and Mis MacQuilki Edmund Burke ' s speech or America. ) HE proposition is fun; not fun through the medium of losing our hard-earned credits; not fun to be hunted through the labyrinth of intricate and endless rebukes of merciless chaperones and unrea- sonable parents; not fun to arise out of universal displeasure, fo- mented from principle, in all parts of the social system; not fun to depend upon the critical eye and square-jawed determination of impertinent questions brought forth by the High School gossips; or the exact determina- tion of Mr. Skinkle ' s marking the boundaries of our complex privileges. It is simple fun, sought in its natural hiding-places and in its ordinary channels. It is lun sought in the spirit of fun. and laid in principles purely funny. I propose, by removing all cause of detriment, and all harriers to innocent amusement, and by restoring the former unsuspecting, nonsensical nonsense and intricate intricacies of the hilarious hilarity of our studious students, to give eternal satisfaction to those studious ones; and (far from a scheme of op- posing the will of the Faculty or of committing misdemeanors we ought not to commit) to reconcile them to us in the spiritual spirit of funny fun and by the bond of the very same docile docility which reconciles us to the interest- ing interests and complicated complications of the alluring allurements of the Valparaiso High School social system. Written under the inspiration of the memory of our beloved Miss Mac Quilkin, and the many repetitions of the passage which have caused weary ears and an overwrought brain.

Its study involves investigation of facts and laws of nature and systematic organization of these facts and laws. The general term science includes the five special sciences: Mathematics, Physics. Chemistry. Biology, and Physiol- ogy, which are composed of innumerable branches and contain all of the fundamental laws. The majority of students in High School do not care to specialize in sci- ence, but it is important that every one should have a general idea of the sub- ject, and Physics is the best department in the High School course, in which to get this general knowledge. All of the sciences are closely related; no one can specialize in one branch without having some knowledge of all. and the best time to obtain this knowledge is in the High School. Physics, of the five sciences, is less of a unit than any of them and is very closely related to all. It includes mechanical hydrostatics, hydraulics, pneu- matics, acoustics, and astronomy, the branches called molar physics; and heat, light, and electricity, with the attraction and repulsion that determine cohe- sion, crystallization and so forth, called molecular physics. The knowledge acquired in the study of this branch will probably be more useful than that acquired in any other in the High School course except English. It gives the student a practical knowledge of the common things; it teaches him the cheapest as well as the most sanitary way of heating, venti- lating and lighting his home; he learns in what way many of the industries are carried on. why some sounds are musical and others are not. He learns the workings of the modern conveniences and necessities, the telegraph and the telephone both with and without wires, lighting plants, and steam and gasoline engines; he can figure out the power of an engine required to do a certain piece of work and how much coal it will take to run the engine; and he gains the knowledge of many other practical and useful things. Through the laboratory work he is taught how to handle tools and delicate instruments, and how to be accurate. Physics is a comparatively modern science, since it has only been con- sidered such in the last hundred years, but in thai lime it has developed very rapidly. Light is perhaps the oldest, branch of physics. It has been studied ever since the Greeks discovered refraction, about 500 B. C. The next great discoveries were made by Young. Frcsnel. Mains. Mellone, and many others, who invented Hie telescope and microscope, and found out the phenomena of polarization of light. They determined the velocity of light, although accu- rate results wen- not obtained until 1882, when Newcomb, an American, de- termined it to be 299.860 kilometers per second, from experiments which he worked on for four years. Scientists now know that all of the energy on the earth is derived from the sun. and they have been trying for many years to HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 37 find a means of obtaining it directly. They have invented many instruments to utilize this energy and the one which will probably do the most good when perfected is an instrument invented by an American, which, when placed upon the roof of a house, will store up enough energy in a few hours of sunlight to heat and light the house for a day. A number of ways have been discov- ered for furnishing the energy for engines from the sun. hut a practical way lias not yet been developed. The sunlight is composed of a great many different kinds of rays. Physi- cists have discovered a ray which will kill any one exposed to it and when they are working with it. it is necessary to wear glass shields. The X-ray. another ray of light, is used for medical purposes and it will puss through many untransparent substances, making them transparent. We were able to study some chemicals of the sun and stars before we knew that these chem- icals existed on our own earth, by means of the spectroscope. .Most students find physics a very interesting subject anil many continue their study along some particular line as a recreation from the routine of business. This has resulted in benefit not only to themselves, but in a great many instances to other people as well, for many new inventions and discov- eries have been made by persons studying science merely as a hobby and some have donated large sums of money for further investigations which have benefitted mankind. IIARWOOD EARLE. 38 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED Erie- Payne: We know of nothing that will make you immune from the study germ. However, we think that if you do not attempt physics more than twice a week, you will escape the ravages of this dread pestilence. Mr. Hughart: We can suggest no further remedy; as a last resort we advise you to sow grass-seed evenly on the scalp. Careful attention will pro- duce surprising results. Percy Lawrence: What to advise you in such a serious case of heart trouble is a problem. Keep yourself in cheerful company, rest often on the front steps and avoid over-study. We would advise moonlight walks under the shading maple trees. By no means go alone, and avoid crowds. Mabel Pishburn: A half egg boiled for two minutes and a cup of catnip tea will give nourishment which will lie suited to one with such a case as yours. Later you may use either half of the egg, preferably the better half. Minnie Lemster: For further work we suggest as text books the cook book and How to Make Home Happy. How may I know which fork to use at an Alumni banquet? — Ella McGilli- cuddy. You should not watch your neighbor, for he may not know what is correct. Trust to your intuition and always use the piece of silver which will in the shortest time convey the most food to the mouth. Do you consider it improper for a girl to pay a young man marked atten- tion? — Agnes Winneguth. Not only proper but very politic. .Men really desire to be the pursued and not the pursuers. Please tell me the best form to use in speaking of a young man who is pay- ing me marked attention. Which is the correct phrase. My gentleman friend, beau, sweetheart or fellow : ' — Gertrude Trough. None of these terms is correct according to the usage of good V. II. S. society. Simply say The man who has a case on me. When a young lady very much wishes to go to a basketball game and has not the dough to spend on it, what would be the correct thing for her to do? — Florence Van Ness. I would advise you not to borrow the money, as debts are not in good form, but resort to the simple and proper method known as fishing for a bid. Always laugh when Mr. Miller tells a joke, no matter how many times you have heard it before. When a Senior flunks, he shall betray no emotion. Lean your elbows on the desks, only when you are too tired to sit up. Do not make yourself a nuisance to others by having a case. (For more information on the subject see Lottie and Eric.) In Science classes always sit up in a dignified position ; it is always well to find out at least the extent of your lesson before going to class. But don ' t trouble to read it, for you will find ample time in class for that.

As soon LINCOLN WASHINGTON (Feb. 12.) (Feb. 22.) The High School and Seventh and Eighth grades were treated to a pro- gram given by the Senior Class in honor of our country ' s greal men. Talks were given by different members of the class while the Bigh School Orchestra furnished the music, which was excellent, as usual. A lively debate together with several musical numbers varied the program. The entertainment was apparently enjoyed by all and many complimented the class on its undoubted ability. JIM ' S VALENTINE PARTY. One of the most heartily enjoyed evenings of all the Senior year was fur- nished by St. Valentine in the person of .lames McNiece. Jim invited his classmates and .Miss McQuilkin to exchange Cupid ' s favors at his home. When the merry-makers arrived they found themselves in a veritable Cupid ' s bower. for tile rooms were prettily adorned with all manner of tiny emblems of St. Valentine ' s Day. (Praise is here given to .Miss Geraldine McNiece.) An im- promptu musical program constituted a part of the evening ' s entertainment and not a little fun was produced when each one pulled his fortune out of the grab-box. A dainty, appropriate lunch was served by Miss Geraldine and Corrine Blount. The good 1i lasted until twelve o ' clock. Enough cannot be said in appreciation of the gracious hospitality of the host. AN IRISH WAKE. New Year ' s Eve witnessed one of those many I . ' ) joyous occasions en- joyed by the Seniors in the High School gym. The class and some of their friends pulled taffy and played Ring Around the Christmas Tree to the tune. of How Do You Do. Miss Josephine. Miss Mclntyre and Mr. Wallace gave merry aid in the g 1 old games that followed — such as Wink. Drop the Handkerchief. and Going to Jerusalem. The joke of the evening unfolded when the watch-party, for some unaccountable reason, broke up just before midnight. When the crowd reached the outside of the building they were greeted by the sound of ringing bells, sending out the old year and bringing in the new. The company then dispersed, wishing everyone a very happy New Year. 48 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. A Few Recipes From the V. H. S. Kuuk Book 1. Raised Eyebrows. Take two sparkling eyes of equal size. (It is best to avoid green ones.) Surround these with lashes of good length and partially cover the lids. Watch closely until the eyes begin to change in appearance, becoming mischievous, roguish, and showing a decided inclination to flirt. Do not expect them to become tender: as in that case the eyebrows, which should be hung carefully over, will not raise. If disturbed the eyelids will open wide at the most unexpected moments, a scries of beautifully raised eyebrows resulting. These are much liked by very young ladies and are used with a delicious effect on lobsters. Sugar-coated Sarcasm. Take one fakultimember, usually the tall, slender variety. Place in a class room and surround with students. Take fresh remarks from the mouths of green students, mix well with two ounces of fakulti wrath, and three ounces of offended fakulti-dignity. Allow this to remain in the chilly apart- ments of the fakulti-mind until it is sufficiently frozen to have the proper sting. Coat with sugar by way of contrast anil dish out to the innocent crea- ture in large quantities. Cold Slams. One cabbage head witli bitter heart; one lemon well aimed; one pound of sour grapes; and enough green gelasy to give the desired sting. Freeze well together; heat to a boil and serve as soon as cool, as exposure to reflec- tion often spoils the best cuts. A Good Roast. One student with unprepared lesson is meat for good roasting. Keep in kettle of hot water until after the recitation hour. Place over the tire of wrath. Add blank looks, and a peppery temper, when the whole begins to simmer. If it comes to a quick boil, but does not dry up, the roast is sure to be a tough one. In such a case when the roast is done smooth over with floury words mixed well with the milk of human kindness. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 4!) CLUBS THE REVELERS. ' ' .Motto — Care ' s an enemy to life. ERILY it happened that in the second month of their supremacy eight Seniors strayed into the home of Dorothy Arvin one evening and organized the club so romantically Darned the Revelers. All of the formal tonus of Parliamentary law were strictly adhered to during the election of the numerous officers — numerous they were in order to maintain a peaceful fellow-feeling in the club, each member receiving the office he or she so decidedly insisted upon having. Candidacy for president was opened and timid Harry shocked the rest of the proper company by bashfully announcing that he thought he would make an excellent president. We hadn ' t the heart to tell Harry that we already had some one else in mind, so he was elected president, assisting the ballot by an extra vote cast by himself. Our modest Percy then humbly and politely declared that, since he was the most ponderous and bulky member of the club, he had the first claims to the treas- ureship, for his massive frame and broad and manly shoulders were able to treasure us all. even our fund of coppers, which he coyly induced each of us to pay weekly. Because she writes such a good hand and because of her enthusiasm and love for the • ' Revelers. .Minnie was elected secretary. Although it is the custom to elect the vice-president after the president, there were so many candidates for this office that it was necessary to elect the other officers first. The net result of Ibis election was the giving of an office to each of the remaining members in order to appease their jealousy. After a violent discussion and much graft Dorothy carried off the honor of first vice-president. The others are as follows: Harwood Earle Second vice-president Gertrude Trough Third vice-president Ella McGillicuddy Fourth vice-president •lames McXiece Fifth vice-president Poor fellow. Jim, just because he was a wee bit. they wouldn ' t let him have a big office. It was decided to call each, other by unique names, so Snaky. Allan. Hilda, Rose. Nero. Kid. Priscilla and Hardy have become familiar. ®hr firurfcra JJrurlhujs. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 51 It is needless to say thai our club ran smoothly on such oily bearings. Yes indeed! Every week there was something doing, perfect order reigned and (here was congeniality in the atmosphere al all times. On Washington ' s birthday an oyster supper, which senl Dame Care scam- pering in one direction and Dame Study in another, was served al the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Spechl of Burlington Beach. Never did we revel so! Barry lost son E his popularity thai nighl somewhere along the Flint Lake road, for he went to sleep at his post, but the faithful team trudged on and we arrived home at 1 I ' X ! Since we needed a diener ( supe ) Clen answered the summons and served us faithfully by joining the club that night. II was necessary to have on hi gentleman to serve as hostler, entertainer, jokist, chaperonist and sixth vice-president. Another joyous asion was Minnie ' s birthday party. Here Hardy proved his superiority and value to his mother, for he received first prize in threading a needle while sitting on a rolling cask— not a very dignified position, to be sure. The prize, a handsome potato masher with black walnut handle and intricate twistine- f wire, was given to Hardy on the condi- tion thai he would present il to his wife on his wedding day. if married within a period of ten years, otherwise he was to present it to his mother at the ex- piration of said time. We think his mother may consider herself the recipient of this beautiful prize. After this the club met every Friday evening. Moonlight strolls, picnics, marshmallow toasts, visits to the nickelodeons following in rapid succession. On one occasion the club attended the V. II. S. vs. North Division basketball Same and witnessed the complete defeat of the visiting team, due in great measure to the efforts of our Reveler president and school athlete. Snaky. The club has so far been a great success and i ' s mysterious doings have created great curiosity. We do not intend to disorganize al the close of school even if Harry does answer the call of ' •nature or llardie takes ag or Priscilla becomes a K. M. We intend to be perpetual and remain faithful to our Reveler companions even unto the end of time. SECRETARY. i kl 1 i Ufa ! W. A. B. . i l T ft nJf, 1 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 53 W. A. B.

HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 55 CHIRIGUANAS. There arc certain clubs in the Valparaiso High School which help to break the monotony of the routine Life of study and furnish many pleasant times that are remembered, sometimes, long ' after lessons are forgotten. The most important of these clubs is the Chiri- guana, which is made up of old maids, giddy girls, dignified married women and two popular young men. who are very bashful and coy. The beginning of this year was celebrated by the initiation of seven new members who have added to the good times. Our motto. Keep Sweet. - ' is diligently followed and even the temper of the club is rarely interrupted by peevishness. We are not many, but it is not the muchness of things that really counts in this world, at least many of our distinguished visitors have told us so. On the 30th of April the Chiriguanas gave a dance at Armory, which proved to be a great success. The success of this dance is due, we have all agreed, to the kind as- sistance of Miss MacQuilkin, of this city, and .Miss Miller of Chicago, who chaperoned us. The Chiriguana Special, where the lights were furnished by three large C ' s of the club. Besides this dance, they have had their regular dinners every two weeks and hope to continue their good times as long as the world endures. Colors— Old gold and black. Flower— Daisy. MEMBERS.

S. last year was even brighter this year. The team last year won ten games and lost one to Englewood, the team that finished second in the gfjfl Cook County championship race. These games were nearly all played with northern Indiana teams. This year the team, laboring against many difficulties, finished with a brilliant record. The first games of the season were against the much-abused Alumni. In the first game the score was 33 to 14, while the second game was 68 to 7. showing that the team was rapidly gaining that speed and efficiency that made them worthy opponents for any team. Next came the East Chicago team that nearly defeated the home team last year, but this year they met with an overwhelming defeat. In the next game against Plymouth the team achieved one of its greatest triumphs. Plymouth did not score a field basket. Austin, one of the strongest teams from Chicago, was likewise defeated by a large score. The team then went to Gary, where they succeeded in humbling the Gary team to the tune of 41 to 7, playing under a great disadvantage, owing to the condition of the floor. Gary failed to score a field basket and saw its hopes of ousting Valparaiso out of its position as champions of northern Indiana vanish into the air. The team went from Gary to Morgan Park the next day and although tired with travel and almost starved they were still full of the old fighting spirit. The Morgan Park team finished second in the Inter-Academic and Preparatory Schools Championship Race, so that the score, although it was in Morgan Park ' s favor was no spot on the record of the Valparaiso team. The team journeyed to East Chicago two weeks later and although Felton, the star forward, was out of the game, they succeeded in again preventing their opponents from registering a field basket. The rest of the games were all played at home and with one exception they all ended in favor of Valparaiso. That one exception was the game played with the Wilson Avenue Y. M. C. A. Clippers, who were defeated by one point for the championship of Chi- cago. The home team is proud to say that it was able to hold such a team to such a score. The team ended the season with Lake H. S. on the 25th of March. The HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. game resulted in a score of 52 to 2 in favor of Valparaiso. Lake was able to score only one basket, the team work of the home team having them completely dazzled. Al the beginning of the season the team decided thai they were going to lie the undisputed champions of northern Indiana, and they succeeded. They of the score. It is safe to say that no team in the state has duplicated the feat of the Valparaiso team in keeping their opponents on three occasions from register- ing a point except on free throws. And of those, two games were played on strange floors. The team scored 535 points to their opponents ' 206. The points were made as follows: Felton. 132; Gardner, 147: Stinchfield, 156; Ritter, 54; Berry, 2: Strahl. 34. The team this year was without the services id ' Wilson, who played a star game as forward, and of Wolf, the husky guard. Gardner and Berry showed that they were able to till their shoes, and with their help the team was en- abled to become champions again. Felton was again able to play this year, and it was largely through him that the team was enabled to make such large scores. He was forced to remain out of a few games and his place was taken by Strahl, a player who was just starting Ins first year on the team. In spite of his inexperience he played a ?ood game and it is to ' be hoped that he will do even better next year. Gardner played a hard, fast game and was always there with the goods. Stinchfield played against the besl centers in Indiana and Chicago and he outplayed them all. He was also the best point getter. The fans all know what kind of a game Berry played, so they will he glad to see him on next year ' s team. Ritter played the same game he has always played. In Kay Dean there is promise of a good player, and he will make his mark next year. As Ritter is the only one of this year ' s team who will graduate, the team should he able to make an even better showing than they did this year. There is some very promising material in the school thai will help to achieve this ambition. The attendance this year has been splendid and the fans showed their appreciation of the play of the home team by attending regularly, pood weather or bad. The fans, to show their appreciation of the splendid showing of the team, took up a collection and bought them sweater- vests. Mr. Wedeking, at the close of the season, gave a banquet to the team, which was enjoyed by all. He did everything in his power to help the team during the season, and in the name of the team I thank him for all he has done. -3 5 M . •« x rft 8 siuioj |||[s|sJ«s|o x 2 |l|l SMOjqx aa-ij , | - | o | a | «, o | o - l-:« x T | | | p | a H° .

The team this year promises to be better than has ever represented the H. S. The team should therefore make a very strong showing at the Northern In- diana meet. Hebron last year failed to compete for the Porter County Athletic Asso- ciation Banner, so the banner went to Valpo for the year by default. This makes two years for Valpo and two for Hebron. Valpo should be able to win the meet this year and thus claim the banner permanently. Melvin Stinchfield was again elected Captain of the track team. As he was Captain last year he should be able to develop a winning team. BASEBALL. The team organized and elected Joe Gardner Captain. They have re- ceived a request from Michigan City for a game. The players have had little experience, but there is some good material in the school. By starting a team this year enough players should obtain experience to make a good team next year. What they cannot do this year they can plan to do next year and de- velop the team with that end in view. HARRY RITTER. Domestic. Art Room HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. nr ALUMNI APPENDIX 1874.

Due to the efforts of the Alumni, a Manual Training Department has been established in the city schools. A room, fully equipped with twenty benches, each bench supplied with a set of the necessary tools, has been secured. Mr. Thomas Wallace of England is instructor of this interesting and useful study. Two hundred boys are taking the work. This department promises to become one of the most important features of the city schools. A course in Domestic Art has also been arranged. It is taking an import- ant place in the program of the school work. About one hundred and thirty girls are learning to ply the needle with remarkable success. Miss Mae Mc- Kinnis has charge of this department of learning, and is showing that she is very efficient in her work. A large room in the basement has been devoted to Domestic Art. This room is supplied with four sewing machines, which were furnished bv the School Board. CLIPPINGS FROM LETTERS FROM ALUMNI. It seems good to hear from the old V. II. S., and though there have been many changes since I helped fight the battles of a spirited Junior Class and felt the calm influence of the dignified Seniors. I can still recall the pleasures of happy school days. The 1910 Annual will be eagerly looked forward to. for I will enjoy re- calling names and fac es which became familiar in the society of the class room. Sincerely yours, O.B.DURAND, Class ' 02.

I have been out of school work now for several years, and have in a way lost much of my interest in it. but not in the present graduates and graduates-to- be of the V. H. S.

Miss Ninah Mann. Valparaiso. Ind. Dear Editor :— Answering at this late day yours of the 5th nit. on the importance of high school training, we are reminded that promptness was one of the many desirable traits inculcated by our eminent instructors of the old building (but not old school), but we sadly realize as we grow older that too much of the good and beautiful is being crowded out by the present-day rush and hurry of money grubbing. However, if you find this gentle rumble is too late for your use. your readers, like the boy who never had lasted a frosty pump-handle with his tongue, will not have missed much. Lately, business people, particularly public service corporations, who are always on the lookout for live ones. are coming more and more to realize the value of training in their employee, and that this training needs a ground- work broad and firm, and they usually insist upon at least a high school edu- cation for this groundwork, in a new employee. Sales-people, and others who deal with the public in whatsoever capacity, usually find that their liberally educated fellow worker usually has clearer sailing and smoother going than another less fortunate, and that his upward progress is therefore swifter and surer. Our advice is. therefore, get at least a high school education while you may. by all means or any. and if you have to grub for it. so much the better for you. While you are at it. learn to add straight, to spell accurately, to write clearly, to thump the typewriter, and to keep books; get a capacity for hard work, the think for yourself habit, and the Wood brand of stick- to-it-iveness ; if you acquire these, and then in spite of the buffets of a cruel. hard world you are still able to perceive something of the good, the true and the beautiful in life, your high school training will not have been in vain. Yours very truly. 0. L. PAYNE, •()(), EFFA SMITH PAYNE. ' 00. 7S HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. SENIOR ALPHABET A is for Agnes, who walks with a jaunt. B is for Beulah and Bernice, whom nothing can daunt.

The doctor said that was noth- ing, as he had once a patient who swal- lowed a thermometer and died by degrees. A couple of men joined in the conversa- tion, one saying he had known of a fellow in Texas who swallowed a revolver and went off easy, and the other telling of a man in Oshkosh who drank a quart of cider and departed in good spirits.

The Institution was organized September 1H, 1873, with 3 departments, 4 instruc- tors and 35 students. Now there are 25 departments, 187 instructors and an annual enrollment of 5437 different students. The reason for this remarkable growth is in the fact that the Institution is con- stantly increasing- its facilities, strengthening- its courses of study and offering additional advantages without making the expense to the student any greater. Twenty-three of the departments are in Valparaiso, the Medical and Dental in Chicago. However, two years of the Medical may be taken in Valparaiso, it desired. The new course in Civil Engineering is worthy of careful consideration. The expenses are made so low that anyone can meet them. Tuition, $15 per quarter of 12 weeks. Board and furnished room, $1.70 to $2.75 per week. Catalog mailed free. Address, H. B. BROWN. President or O. P.
