No more shall his cheery smile greet us, no more shall we enjoy his incessant labors in our behalf and his sterling friendship. While he was with us we often misunder- stood him because, as all self-made men are wont, he stood firm for his own convictions. The best tribute we can pay him is to express the fervent hope that the Class of 1915 and all other graduates of the V. H.

PAEASITE, as Webster defines him, is a hanger-on, a depend- ent flatter, a toady. In the school room a parasite has all of these qualities and is in addition a time waster, a borrower, and a general nuisance. If the matter ended here it would be bad enough, but as habits acquired in youth continue in after life, the parasite retains these qualities much to his sorrow, after he leaves the school room. It is easy to locate the school parasite. Pick out the student who is constantly bothering his neighbors, borrowing from them, annoying them with his idle prattle, and copying their work. The parasite is a person who is eonstantly demanding favors, but never willing to grant one; a person who is always growling if favors are not accorded him, but abuses shamefully those already given; a person who believes school exists for him alone and, consequently, is ever ready to become con- spicuous thru his arrogant actions. If the parasite wasted only his own time, he alone would suffer, but when he wastes the precious moments of others who need every second, he becomes a demoralizing influence and should be instantly removed. For example, consider how much disturbance one parasite can cause in our High School. If he disturbs everyone in the Assembly Room for one minute, it means a loss of two hundred minutes. This loss not being evident to everybody, the Principal is forced to take ten minutes of every person ' s time to explain the situation, thereby losing two thousand minutes or more time than one student spends in school in one week. If the para- site causes two thousand minutes to be lost in school, how many will he occasion in a ' lifetime! Another parasitic habit, equally bad, is the borrowing one. If in our High Scliool, one boy was given the task of supplying the demands of girls desiring knives for pencil sharpening, he could do nothing else. If a borrower impedes progress in school, how can he do otherwise in the business world which he must soon enter! The answer is plainly seen. Of what use is all our school training if we only learn to be destroyers, loafers, borrowers, degenerates, degra- tors and parasites ? Our presence would have a demoralizing effect on those about us; we could never succeed in business, for business has no use for parasites; in short, we would be miserable failures, blots upon the face of civilization and humanity. Therefore, let us not l)ecome parasitic in any way. Let us be builders, not destroyers; workers, not loafers; let us be all that is good and right in our sehool life and then with our school training shall come character development. Then and then alone shall we be free from those parasitic principles, and then there will be no such thing as, The School Parasite. F. J. MARSTON, Editor-in-Chief. MR. HOMER M. JESSEE MRS. LU S. BROOKE THE WORK OF THE SCHOOL. INCE 1872 Valparaiso has had a high school with a four years course. The faculty has generally inclined to classical or so called academic subjects, but there has always been a choice given the students l)etween languages and science. At pres- ent the freshmen may choose either the Latin or the Scien- titic courses. In the Scientific he substitutes for Latin, English His- tory, Intellectual Arithmetic, Zoology, C ' hemistry, and Manual Training or Domestic Art and Domestic Science. All })ui)ils have a further opportunity through the electives to become versed in Bookkeeping and Phonography. Eight credits of English, six of Mathematics, six of Latin, four of History, one of Civics, and at least three credits in Science are required of all students who are expecting to receive a diploma. A more com})lete description of these departments will be found in the following pages. SANFORD CAMPBELL. MK. J. RICHARD FINKLE MR. J. M. LENTZ MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT. HE course in inatliematics requires for graduation three terms of Algel)ra and three of Geometry. The scope of the work in Algebra inchides the more advanced topics of progressions, binomial theorem, variation, etc. The work in Geometry includes both plane and solid Geometry. Such a course iii mathenuitics ade(iuately meets the most exacting College entrance requirements, although this is by no means the fundamental and only purpose of the dei)artment. Since the chief aim of the public schools is a better citizenship, the niathematics of the high school is not planned merelv to meet certain College entrance requirements and to fulfill certain laws, but to fur- nish knowledge and mental discipline. The students are instructed in mathematics and given the discipline afforded bv these subjects instead of the mere knowledge of the subjects as such. Freciuently it is claimed that high school mathematics is not prac- tical. No one will doubt that all knowledge in itself is practical but when it contributes to a well trained mind it is doublv so. The stu- dents are taught throughout their entire high school course, to gener- alize, to think broadly, to be exact, to make judgments quicklv, to see the application to problems of daily life. Thev are taught to see that they are constantly facing the same big problems met bv the business man, tlie housewife, and other practical persons, in that they must gain certain results with certain existing conditions. The students are 10 taught that they must do a day ' s work in a day ' s time. They soon learn tliat good ])rodu ' tions are vahiable and only such are marketable. The course in Mathematics is an important factor in helping them to obtain and meet all of these recjuirements. The instructors in this department are Mr. Jessee, Mr. Finkle, Mr. Lentz, and Mrs. B. F. Williams. Mr. Skinkle taught mathematics up to the time of his death and was considered one of the best mathemati- cians in secondary school work. The efificiency of the instruction in mathematics is shown by the ease with which the students continue their work in other institutions. IRENE MARTENS. 11 MISS MABEL BENNEY A SENIOR ' S VIEW OF THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT. ES, said the tlioughtful Senior, a few days before gradu- ation, I consider that my four years ' work in the English Department has done me perhaps more good than any other. ' ' I think you are right, ' ' observed the out-of-town guest. English is one of the most practical, and at the same time, interesting subjects in the high school course. I was greatly enter- tained in your English VIII last week. You have an original class. Do you think so? laughed the Senior. The class of 1915 has always been a trial and tribulation to Miss Benney ever since we wrote with trembling fingers our first business letter for the stern inspection of the ' powers that l)e. ' The first two years we were drilled in the art of prose composi- tion and during that time we entertained everyone with our interesting l)roductions. We studied Irving, Scott, Shakespeare, and George Eliot with ecpial enthusiasm and, with the boldness of youtli, even dared to criticize. To the delight of certain lovers of history English V, VI, and VII found us deep in the History of English Literature and in our last term we turned to the study of American Literature. Miss Ben- ney gave us up as hopeless when she discovered that we failed to appre- ciate the humor in Burke ' s Conciliation. You had book reviews of course? inquired the guest. Oh, yes, ' ' answered the Senior. ' ' Two book reviews are required each term. An interesting feature in that connection was taken up 12 this term in our English VIII. Each member of the class selected some good magazine and reported on it each month. Do you have a course in public speaking? asked the guest. No, we don ' t, answered the Senior, But a few steps have been taken in that direction. Every member of the High School is required to make one public appearance a year. The class of 1915 has greatly distinguished itself in this work. Some members of the class prefer to remain in the background by taking minor ])arts and are content with one api earance a year, but there are others who would })erform every Friday if given the opportunity. These irrepressible ones, how- ever, are held firmly in hand by Miss Benney and cause no serious dis- turbance. We have a number of born orators who acquitted them- selves nobly at our Oratorical Contest in February. There goes two of those ' irrei)ressible ' ones now, observed the guest, looking out of the window. Let ' s join them, cried the Senior, I believe they are going to the picture show. The two girls laughingly departed and the conversation was ended. GAIL FEHKMAN. 13 MISS MINMK C. McI.XTYKE HISTORY DEPARTMENT. INGS and Queens may die, nations may rise and fall, wars rage and cease, but History continues. For culture and mental discipline there is no more important subject than History and knowledge of it, both ])ast and present should be the possession of every individual. The important place given it in the Valparaiso High School course of study is in recognition of its great value. One term of English History is otfered as an elective; the rest, consisting of two tenns of Ancient one each of Medieval and Modern and one of Civics is required. Altlio emphasis is placed upon live topics of the day, which relate most to life and upon History in the making, yet knowledge of the Ancients — even of the i)reliistoric milleniums — is necessary and required. It has taken thousands of years for man to develop from his early stage of savagery and helplessness to the conditions in which we now live, and in order to understand our present life it is necessary to study the slow growth of mankind through these past ages. Although Ancient History covers over four thousand years, from the time when we first know man, from reliable records, to about eight hundred years after the birth of C irist, only those nations are studied, that have done most in developing those ideas which have given us the present civilized life— the life of Europe and America. Those nations which made the greatest contributions to civilization were the Egj- tians, the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Hebrews, the 14 Oreeks, the Eomans and the early Germans. In the study of each and every nation the })riniary idea is to be kept in mind — that the historical significance of the i)eople is to be estimated by wliat it contributed to the general civilization and the conditions which made that contribu- tion possible. When the student has completed the study of Greece, he has learned that the historical importance of the nation rests upon its eontril)utions to political liberty and to the develo])ment of a superior intellectual life and he realizes that under existing conditions its con- tribution could not have been otherwise. The same significant study continues throughout the Medieval Age, when Church and State are contending for Supremacy, and through the Modern when more liberal principles of government are being devel- oped, with more stress on the industrial and cultural than ])olilical or military. Perhaps the most important and interesting of all the work is the half year of Civics, in which the city, townshi}), county, state and nation are studied, each in relation to the other and to the citizen. The aim and purpose of this work is especially intended to train for membership in the community. The idea is kept constantly before the student that he is a citizen now with real civic relations and duties which require knowlege of what the government does for him and how, and what it has a right to expect from him in return. A term i aper is required of each student, upon some imjtortant subject which appeals to him. Some of the topics chosen are: Pub- lic Health, Causes and Prevention of Crime, Our System of Taxa- tion, and Prison Reform. Some of the most interesting and liel])ful exercises given are: Experience in casting ballots in regular elections; observations made on court and council proceedings; trials conducted by the students and visits to the City Hall, to county farm and factories. Contemporary History is studied throughout the entire course and constant use made of magazines and papers. A weekly digest of cur- rent events is made, of local, state, national, international and foreign affairs, and special assigned topics reported upon frequently. The one great handicaj) in the work is the lack of ecjuii)ment. The department has provided what visualizing material it could by collect ing, mounting, classifying and preserving pictures from various sources; but there is great need of illustrative apparatus. The depart- ment looks forward hopefully to the time when the History room will be a laboratory, as fully equij ped for the study of History as the Science room is for the study of Chemistry. Miss Mclntyre, the head of the deiiartment, knows her subject thoroughly and is a very proficient teacher. She insists that the pupils make History and Civics a part of their every day life and not study them abstractlv and as a result her classes are wide-awake and ]u-ogres- sive.

HREE or four years of High School life is concerned with the study of Latin and the important place given to it in the High School naturally leads to an observance of the reasons for the amount of time consumed. There is no more effective means of strengthening the mind than by the earnest pursuit of this branch of study. Latin has both a cultural and an educational value. Our civilization rests upon that of Rome, and we owe much of our knowledge of ancient times to the Roman writers whose products we learn to read. Latin words con- stitute about sixty per cent of our English vocabulary and by increas- ing that vocabulary through Latin, English is made more intelligible and interesting. For one who has chosen Law or Medicine as his pro- fession Latin is required, and in almost any line of intellectual work whether it be Mathematics, Chemistry, Physiology, Botany, Physics, History, Mythology or Literature, a knowledge of it is necessary, as Latin words and phrases continually occur. To know Latin is to under- stand English better, and to use it more intelligently and effectively. Besides being so large a part of our own language Latin is the founda- tion of five European languages, French, Roumanian, Italian, Portu- guese and Spanish. For all these reasons Latin is given a very important place among the subjects taught in the Valparaiso High School. A complete course of Latin consisting of three years works is offered, although another 16 year may be had by those who wish to take it. The first year ' s work is a preparation for the interesting study to follow. Vocabularies, con- jugations, and declensions are learned, a thorough knowledge of the grammar is acquired, and short stories are translated. The two y ' ai-s of study which follow is merely a utilization of the foundation built during the first year. During the second year the accounts of the wars with the Helvetians, the Belgians, the warlike tribes who threat- ened the passage of the Alps, and with the Germans are translated from Caesar ' s own Commentaries. Cicero ' s Orations are taken up dur- ing the third year. There are four Orations against Catiline and his fellow conspirators, one concerning the Manilian Law, and the Archais. At the end of the third year the compulsory study of Latin has been com]_ileted, but the most enjoyable and interesting part remains for those who read Virgil ' s Aeneid, the story of the nine years wanderings, trials and marvelous escapades of the Trojan Aeneas in his attempt to found a city. The Latin course gives the student a new interest in his own language, broadens his vocabulary and gives him an understanding of the foundations of our civilization that is necessary before he can appreciate that civilization. LEONORA WISE. 17 MISS DEMA TIMMONS MR. AUDREY SKOMP SCIENTIFIC DEPARTMENT. |HE Scientific Department has this year played its most suc- cessful role in High School liistory. To give to the work in Physics more dignity and unity, the old recitation room was made into a combination labora- tory and recitation room, and has had a physical atmos- phere heretofore missing. Owing to the new arrangement, it has been possible at any time to turn from a formal recitation to an experi- ment illustrating the point under discussion and there has been no dis- tracting influence caused by passing from the top story to a cheerless room in the basement for laboratory work. Suitable cases for the apparatus have been added so that everything can be kept shipshape. Much apparatus has been added to the equipment with very little expenditure, through the kind assistance of the ever gracious teacher of the Manual Training department and the work of interested students. The revised edition of the old Millikin and Gale text book and their laboratory manual, i)ublished last August, have been regularly fol- lowed, nothing being omitted because of seeming difficulty. In getting things right and keeping manuals neat and up-to-date, much more than mere points in Physics has been learned. On days of recitation, aside from the regular work, numerous experiments suggested by the author have been performed by the students, each one being held responsible for the success of his work. The outline of work in Chemistrv has been much the same as in 18 former years, although the appearance of the room has been much changed by a new coat of paint and the erasure of former students ' names from the walls. The class was composed of Juniors and Seniors and the work required covered two terms. Bi-ownlee ' s First Princii)les and his accompanying manual have been used as texts. Each member in both Physics and Chemistry who expects to receive a credit for a year ' s work, is now prei)aring a thesis on some subject in which he is interested. Some of the subjects chosen are: The Gas Engine, The Conquest of the Air, Our City Water Supply, Chemistry and Medicine, Fertilizers, and The Recent Achieve- ments of Physics. Much to the disap})ointment of the instructor, who is fully pre- pared for that work. Agriculture was not taught this year, because a class of the required number could not be obtained. In the second term of Botany, however, the subjects of Forestry, Crops, and Crop Industries have been taken up and with the aid of the laboratory, which they have had this year for the first, considerable very interesting and i rofitable work in Botany, as well as Zoology, has been carried on. In the labora- tory of the first term of Botany, Payne ' s Experimental Botany has been used, from which each student has been required to write up fifty experi- ments. In Botany II each pujiil has made a collection of thirty differ- ent leaves, and has obtained a photograph of some forest problem, and a diseased specimen in orchard work. In Zoology a collection of twenty different insects was required. The Zoology department has about two hundred ])repared si)ecimens of different animals, many of which were studied during the term ' s work. A large acjuarium in which different zoological specimens were cared for has added much to the already interesting work. An important part of the course in all the science work has been the numerous excursions to the outside world of Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology. Among the places visited are the Wireless room at Dodge ' s Institute of Telegraphy, the gas factory, ] fr. E. S. Miller ' s bee farm, sand pits, and the old mill at Sager ' s Lake. At the time this article is written the members and teachers of the department are look- ing forward to a day of exhibition and visiting, on which everything connected with the work will be open for the inspection of friends of the school, in i artieular, and of Science, in general. We can truly say that the never failing, energ( tic, and enduring courage of our teachers has aroused and stimulated the faint and spas- modic interest of the ordinary High School pupil in the Science depart- ment and transformed it into one of genuine enthusiasm of which Val- paraiso may well be proud. CHESTER FAY. 19 MISS MABEL E. YOUNG COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. HE Commercial Department of the Valparaiso High School consists of three divisions, Phonography, Typewriting, and Bookkeeping. The system used for Phonography is that of Benn Pit- man, an p]ngiishman, who inA ented and published it in 1837. This work consists of the practice of business forms, general office work and practical work of all kinds. Part of the time is also taken up with reading printed iihonography and taking dictation. One may also acquire a good knowledge of English in taking this subject. Phonog- raphy is very helpful and may be easily mastered with sufficient study. The Touch system is the method used in Typewriting. This sys- tem is very important because it enables one to write much faster, keeping his eyes on his notes. The two important factors in Type- writing are accuracy first, and then speed. Typewriting includes the copying of legal forms, letters, envelope addressing, and tabulating work. Dictation is given personally to each pupil. The students are taught the mechanical parts of the machine, which is essential to every stenogra|)her. Typewriting is very practical and is growing more in demand every day. The system used for Bookkeeping is that which was arranged by Professor C. W. Benton. This course is less extensive than the others, but it gives to the student the knowledge of accounting, the practice of keeping a systematic record of business transactions, and the state of business in which they occur. Miss Young is a very capable and interesting teacher and is com- petent to have charge of this department as she has had extensive business experience. CARRIE TURNER. 20 MK. IRA L. SPEAK MANUAL TRAINING. ATIONS are growing ' ; States are growing; Cities are grow- ing; Vali)araiso High School is growing and with it the ATanual Training Department — now recognized as one of the best equipi)ed, for its size, in tlie State. When established in 1!)08 by the Alumni there were two benches. Now there are eighteen with complete tool equii)ment besides two speed lathes and one power driven grindstone. A new motor driven circular saw, which has proved a great convenience in repairing old and constructing new school furniture, was added this year. Tender the guidance of Mr. Ira Si)ear this department is rapidly rising to a foremost i)lace among the leading ones of the High School and demanding that the student be educated for service. At present, although manual training is no longer a required sub- ject, there are thirty high school boys working on different pieces of furniture. The night classes were continued this year and in addi- tion there are classes on Saturday mornings. Mechanical Drawing is also taught; the first year ' s work consisting of })roblems in i)rojections, development, isometrics, and plates of lettering; in the second term the student is given a choice between Machine Drawing and Architec- tural Drafting. Some of the work done by the boys this year needs special men- tion; such as canoe building, several cedar chests and a large number of tables and chairs of varying styles. The old wooden floor which has been doubled in size since 1912 is this year being replaced by one af cement. The work is being done by the bovs of the department and constitutes the most ]n-actical problem of the whole term ' s work. C HESTER FAY. 21 THE HERO. ITH shiny weapons newly sharpened the Carpenter goes forth to earpent — . No work of his is e ' er a tizzle but every ])roduct of his chisel and of his plane and saw and measure increases human place and pleasure. Oh where would be the School and College imparting forty kinds of Knowledge but for the man whose saw and hammer kick up all day so glad a clamor! The man who nails the boards and shingles deserves all praise, in prose and jingles; he builds the homes in which we tarry, in which we dance and sing and marry; he builds the rinks where we go skating; and when we ' re done with this world ' s muddle, he builds the box in which we cuddle. The Carpenter in all the ages has done far more than bards and sages to make the world a better planet than ' twas when Eve and Adam ran it. — Contributed. Miss MILDRED ARCHER MUSIC DEPARTMENT. I HP] Music Department of the Valparaiso High School is one of the newest Departments. Last year a class in harmony was organized, but because of lack of interest was soon dis- continued. It was also a year of triumph for our High School Orchestra, but that too seems to have disappeared. Now all we have left in the way of Music is the ten minute period set aside each Tuesday and Thursday morning for singing. ESTHER BLACHLEY. 22 € MISS MYRA MENDENHALL DOMESTIC SCIENCE. OME on, kids, Let ' s make apple pies ' Fore ma calls us Or our mud all dries. I know how now But I didn ' t know it ' Fore I visited school And watched the big kids do it. I went to lots of classes But I didn ' t have much fun ' Till I went down stairs To the Domestic Science Room. And say! You oughter been there! I juGt wish we could take it! And learn to make real apple pies Just like those big kids make it. There were just twenty girls — Sister Katie knew ' em all And the teacher ' s name Was surapin like Miss Mendenhall. Sister said they love her And she ' s always good and sweet But then she oughter to be when they Make such good things to eat. Well, when we first went in there, I wondered what it could be, For it was the biggest kitchen You kids ever did see. I guess there was a dozen windows And they made the rooms so light And everything was spotless Why it was so clean and white! And all the girls wore aprons With pretty caps to match. And they were all as curious As that many chicks just hatched. Then every one was quiet While she told ' em what they ' d make, And how to mix it together, And how much stuff to take. And then they all got busy. Just like that many bees, A ' flyin ' ' round the blossoms Up in the apple trees. Oh there was another visitor — A big man with a cane. He just talked to the teacher, But I heard him just the same. She told him it had been three years, When he asked her all about it. Since Domestic Science was started there. And I really do not doubt it. And all that time, she told him. That the classes had been so full That some girls that took it Had to take it after school. None of ' em had to take it. They just took it for fun. And they got some credit for it But I guess not a whole one. ' Cause they only got to take it Just one time in a week ' Cause their other classes rushed ' em, So for time they had to seek. They didn ' t know I was listenin ' To what they had to say. For I was as quiet As a little mouse could be. Why, I ' d almost forgot the pies While they was in a ' bakin ' ! Then all at once I smelt ' em And remembered what they was makin ' . Um! They was goodern candy! Say, we forgot our pie! Come on, kids, let ' s go ihake ' em, I bet our mud ' s all dry. LILAH HINELINE. 23 MISS MAE McKINNIS DOMESTIC ART. INCE its establishment in 1907 in the Valparaiso schools, the Domestic Art Department under the management of Miss ] IcKinnis has become one of the largest departments in the school. In the lower grades, mat weaving, basket making, hemstitching, and hand sewing are done. When the seventh and eighth grades are reached the sewing machine work and the drafting of patterns begin. In the High School the girls are allowed to make anything they choose and leather work is taught if desired. A credit reiiuires two ])eriods a day in the High School and forty min- utes a week in tlie Grades. Judging from the amou nt of work done and the number of girls taking Domestic Art, it is one of the most beneficial departments in the school. GLADYS VAN TREES. 24 ORATORY A.CH pupil in the Valparaiso High School is trained in pub- lic speaking from the time he enters as a freshman until his graduation four years later. But high school oratory hiber- nates during the autunm and renews its youth in the s])ring when all young things are budding. Each pupil must api)ear at least once a year liefore the entire school in recitation or debate. In the Senior year two other opportunities are afforded him for public speaking, the Senior Oratorical offers him a chance to win tive dollars and the honor of representing his school in the Northern Indiana Meet; then the University of Chicago holds a contest each year for the schools co-operating with that institution. A scholarship is given to the one winning tirst place in effective speaking in this event. A number of gii ' ls went to Lake Forest to compete in a public si)eaking contest, also. This year the contestants in the Seniors oratorical were: Miss Fay, who spoke on The Value of the Study of Latin, and won first place among the girls, and Mr. Timmons, who took tirst hon- ors among the boys with a speech on The Conservation of Natural Resources. Mr. Marston and Mr. Dodge entered the public s{)eaking contest at the U. of C. and ([ualitied for the finals, the first time this honor had been won by the students of the V. H. S. ; I)ut, owing to a lack of preparation, caused by a misunderstanding of the rules, they did not win the finals. We hope that our rei)resentatives next year may have better luck and bring back the laurels in oratory for the honor of V. H. S. ROLAND J. KENNY. 25 !

The Class of 1915 has been very fortunate in obtaining the services of LeEoy Smith as Staff Artist for the Tubican. LeKoy graduated from the V. H. S. in 1913 and was artist on the Annual Staff of that year. He is one of the most talented young men ever completing the course and has sui)ported the High School with a vigorous loyalty ever since. Tliis last winter he made numerous advertisements for the Basket Ball games, to which we attribute a great deal of our financial success. Every drawing in this edition is a product of his pen and the col- lection has been iironounced by very capable judges the best ever seen in any Annual — a verdict for which our class has been striving.

PHILLEY. 43 NE spring afternoon, I wandered aimlessly thru the woods, listening to the ha])})) ' song of the rohins and wondering at the ])eauty of nature. The songs so enchanted me that I decided to seek a resting place and spend the remainder of the afternoon beneath the leafy bowers. As I lay under the trees gazing up at the clouds I seemed to be. transported from this world to the land of the future, where I so often had longed to be. A cpieer sensation of loneliness came over me as I stood staring at all the strange surrovmdings. However, it was not long before I heard familiar voices behind me and turning around who should I meet face to face but my old friend, Lou Cartha Pierce, wife of the Honorable Edwin Evans, M. C, in company with Esther Blachley, Louise Horn and tMaire McGillicuddy, now teachers in a. girls ' school. This unexpected meeting so suri)rised me that I hardly knew what to say, but was soon relieved from this embarrassment when they invited me to join the party and go to the moving i)icture show. As we were walking down the avenue I was attracted by a huge electric sign — Madame Julie Hembrouphie, Manicuring Parlors. Something in this name seemed to bring back old friends and I thought to myself, this must be Jewell Hembroff. While these thoughts were occupying my mind Lou Cartha turned to me and said, That big hotel over there on the corner is owned by Roland Kenny and Robert Wark, two of the richest men of the day. While Lou Cartha was talking, I noticed that Clare was thinking seriously of something, so I asked her why she was so quiet. She rejilied, I luive been wondering what ever became of Verna Summers and Lilah Hineline. Oh! exclaimed Louise, Verna is at the head of the deaf and duml) school located at Binberbot , and Lilah is a dress- 44 maker. Of course I was interested in the success of my old friends and only wished that I might see them once more. By this time we had reached the theatre, wliich seemed to be crowded with i)eoi)le. As we made our way past the ticket window the man selling the tickets looked at me as though waiting for me to speak. The face looked familiar and in a moment it dawned upon me that it was Chester Fay. When we entered the theatre and took our seats, I noticed four fashionably dressed women, whom my friends informed me were Geraldine Patton, Gladys Van Trees, Leonoi-a Wise and Irene Martens, wives of influential business men and well known in social circles. I was indeed surprised to learn that these were the same girls who had been in school with me, for 1 remembered that they had said they never would marry. The sight of so many old classmates brought back many recollec- tions of the past. I wondered what had become of John Crumpacker, William Schenck, Gerald Timmons and Carrie Turner. I turned to my friends and asked them if tliey knew. Lou Cartlia was the only one who seemed to know about them. She said that John and William were lawyers, that Gerald was a professor of Chemistry in the Val- paraiso High School and that C arrie was a Domestic Science teacher. The orchestra, which had been i)laying I Didn ' t Raise My Girl to be a Suffragette, suddenly stopped and the Pathe Weekly C urrent Event Pictures were thrown on the screen. In the first scene entitled Magician who is startling the world with famous tricks, we recog- nized Howard Dodge; in the second, Fred Marston, now one of the foremost speakers in the senate, delivering a si)eech liefore a crowd of suffragettes, while in the last one we saw The Victor in the Marathon Bace at the Olympia Games — Harold Gates. In the photo drama that was next thrown on the screen, Gail Fehrman and Pauline Fay, now popular Movie Stars, took the leading parts. Upon leaving the theatre we encountered a |)rocession of enthus- iastic citizens, headed by Rollo Pool and Sanford Cami)bell, bearing aloft banners on which were printed the words Vote for Fsther Philley for Mayor. W e laughed over this for a moment, then turned to one another to say good-bye. As we did so, the old classmates seemed to fade from sight and I found myself once more in Nature ' s Palace. JULIA ARVIN. 45 SIC ACCIDIT. ITNCE the history of any organization usually commences at its beginning, we must go back to the time when the present staid and stately Seniors were new arrivals in High School. It is exceedingly difficult,— in fact, it is a near impossibility to imagine that this year ' s dignitied graduates were once Freshman. Think of it,— Frederick Marston, our eloquent editor, was once a meek, gentle little Freshie ! Altho almost beyond conception, yet it is probably true. The class of 1915 was not one of those organizations, found only in Utopia and in Class Histories, which was picked out in its infancy as an extraordinary brilliant, promising group. No one, looking at its members, wondered which would be United States President first. No orator, gazing into their bright countenances, burst forth into an emo- tional speech of elaborate praise. They were just the ordinary bunch of Freshmen, as green as ever, ' ' — ' ' a modern group of thought and intel- lect, — and so forth and so on. They spent their time in quiet, diligent study. Some took the Scientific Course and proceeded to explore the depths of Botany and Zoology. Others chose the Latin Course and spent many weary hours learning the numerous declensions, conjuga- tions and so forth. The year passed peacefully and all too quickly. The following year these once-upon-a-time-Freshmen came back as grown up So|)liomores. They threw away their rattles and rag dolls and l)egan to sit up and take notice. They even ventured to make jokes at the expense of the Freshmen and tried in vain to remember that far- away time when they were greenhorns. The Sophomores were consid- ered an important part of the High SchooL Some members became 46 famous hj their exploits. Of course, as in any organization, there were a few freaks, — yea, even a magician. This year was a successful, happy one. But — presto chango — a few months passed and the 191 5 ' s l)ecame Juniors and this meant grand prospects of some da} ' hecoming Seniors. The class now organized. John Crumpacker was elected to the digni- fied presidential chair, Lou C artha Pierce was chosen for vice-})resident, Gail Fehrman for treasurer and ] Ialcolm Burton for secretary. Under these officers, the Junior administration progressed daily. The Seniors were duly and respectfully entertained after the Juniors had performed the many weary labors of a ways and means connnittee. They also enjoyed themselves in several pleasant functions. They liegan to look forward to the coming year with eagerness and gained much dignity in the expectation of what was to come. They were an orderly, agree- able, and by all means a sociable class and the good times of the third year, altho of course overshadowed by those of the Senior year will always be remembered by the 1915 ' s. The last year finally arrived. Two new members, Rollo Pool and Sanford Campbell, came from foreign parts to join the ranks. The latter made such an im})ression ui)on the girls of the class that when election day came, Sanford was chosen president by their loyal support and now is an ardent advocate of Woman ' s Kights. Carrie Turner was elected vice-president; Robert Wark took up the pleasant duties of treasurer and lilsther Phil ley was given the grievous burden of a secre- tary. As their entire high school career had been marked by a quiet but interesting course, so now, as Seniors, they dis])layed a quiet but genuine interest in all class and high school affairs. There were no outward bursts of showy enthusiasm, but a steady underlying cur- rent of loyalty to the class and to V. H. H. The important matter of getting out the Tubican and of preparing for commencement occu- pied nearlv all the time, but there was also ])lentv of time for enjoying life. Now graduation time is near and soon the 1915 ' s will go forth from the Temple of Learning to join the Alumni. Some will go on to colleges and universities while others, not so lucky, will take up their life work at once. However, when they are all feeble, gray-haired men and women — oh, cheerful outlook, — each one will look ])ack with pleasure to the four happy years spent in Valparaiso High School. PAULINE FAY. 47 S WE draw near the end of our high school career we pause to reflect over the good times we have had together. Each day has been a profit and i)leasure to us and although our social functions have not been numerous they have been very enjoyable. In honor of the Junior organization last year, the girls entertained the boys of the class at the home of Lou Cartha Pierce. The enter- tainment connnittee is to be congratulated on the original games and the girls on the delicious lunch, both of which were greatly enjoyed by all. Verna Summers proved her efficiency at the piano by playing the Chicken Reel, while the Seniors showed their gracefulness by daint y bows in the Virginia Reel. Near the end of the year the Juniors entertained the Seniors as usual, in a most unusual way, at Burlington Beach, Flint Lake. The fun started when the hayracks left the school house on the beautiful warm May day. The teachers forgot themselves and were seen play- ing blackman while Walter Lloyd and Leonora Wise were enjoying 48 a ride on Long Lake and gathering water lilies. The various amusements which Valpo ' s popular summer resort affords were employed for having a good time. At six o ' clock a delicious lunch was served in the orchard, followed by the junior, senior prom — the prettiest ball of the spring season — led by Esther Phil ley and Robert Wark, to the strains of Jones ' orchestra. The proper time found each one home dreaming over the moments most enjoyable to him. The Class of 1915 of the High School were entertained February eleventh at a party by the Vice-president of the class, Miss Carrie Turner at her home on North Washington Street. The class this ear possesses unusual talent along the line of entertainment and the evening was anything but dull. The fickleness of Mr. Skomp caused much merriment. In a game of forfeits Mr. Skomp proposed to Miss Welty, married Miss Timmons and later was seen walking arm in arm with two pretty Senior girls. One of the various modes of entertainment was selections given by Miss Arvin and Miss Grail Fehrman to an appreciative audience. After refreshments had been served and a very exciting game of biff had been engaged in by Messrs. Timmons and Pool, all departed with many thanks and cheers in their hearts for the Vice-President of the class of 1915. LOU CARTHA PIERCE. 49 TAU DELTAS B OU can see ' em in the morning Walking down the street, Or in the sunny afternoon. Having a dutcli treat. At night the movies you attend: They ' re present in a mob. No matter where you chance to be You ' ll see ' em on the job. There ' s one who for her common sense We prize very greatly; And one whose wit is well unmatched Altho she walks sedately. Then there ' s a cook here in our midst, Outshines the best around here; And one who ' s full of life and pep, We surely value her cheer. Down in the warm and sunny South, Two of our members live; They never forgot when they were here Their share of joy to give. For tho they ' re gone, we still do pause, In our most lively hours. To reminisce on old camp days — Days gone like faded flowers. Then there ' s our joker, always lively. Who cheers us up when blue; And our pianist is the best We ' re sure you ever knew. Those days when we rowed in the sun Across the lake and caught The first faint odor of our lunch. Which hastily we sought. What would we do without her Our absent-minded dreamer? Altho she never hears us talk. For picnics she ' s the schemer. For time may come, and time may go. But camp days linger still; And we ever wish to go again. For we never get our fill. We have one with slow dry humor And a most good-natured smile; And a poetess who loves to rave In a most peculiar style. So here ' s to them all, Who some say are frivolous, But underneath their jollity Will be found quite serious. D. H. 50 THE RUIN OF THE GOD OF DISEASE. N THE second of October in the year 1914 A. D., wliile wandering aimlessly down ] Iain Street, tlie God of Disease discovered a con- venient resting place beneath a pile of rnbbish. Feeling weary he established himself here and had fallen asleep when he was awakened by a loud clamor and lo — upon extending Ins head from the rubbish pile he beheld a vast army bearing down upon liiin. Leading the procession was the niler of the city, surrounded by his nobles. Following them came the High Moguls of Learning advancing witli the dignity befitting their calling. Next appeared Dr. Smith, a tall and power- ful enemy of Disease, accompanied by his able assistants, the surgical and ward nurses, proudly waving their banner of war on high amid the shouts of the multitude. Then a massive fortress — its only weapons fresh air and sunlight — advanced on wheels and close behind appeared the elfs from Pure Food Land. Then came a company of young braves armed with liuge swat- ters — theii- only aim the destruction of the vast army of Hies, the cliief mes- sengers of the CTod of Disease. The Mop and Pail Brigade followed and after them the powerful advocates of Dutch Cleanser. Next a])peared a valiant army of suffragettes rejoicing over the ojjportunity to show their met- tle, and following these came a fierce-looking black band, vowing vengeance on all dirt. At this point the God of Disease groaned in despair for he saw approaching bound in chains one of his best friends and allies, the Garbage Can. A short distance behind, the pompous company of Seniors were rolled along in magnificent chariots, each and every one eager to begin battle against Disease. Upon perceiving these, the God of Disease cried out in mingled tei- ror and rage, Alas, I am ruined ! 1 have no weapons strong enough to resist these enemies. Mortals and immortals are arrayed against me. Immed- iately there was a flash of fire, a puff of smoke, and the God of Disease, con- sumed by the fire of his own passions, was no more. The motley assemblage passed on over his ashes and their figures were lost in the distance. GAIL FEHRMAN. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY. SENIOR once sagely reinarketl that it took four years before you could walk across the assembly room with perfect ease. The speaker expressed what each one realizes while finishing his last years in High School. AVhen lie is a Freshman, to cross that broad expanse fills him with terror. When a Sophomore he is not afraid, not at all, just a trifle uneasy with a queer feeling about the knees. Having passed thru these necessary stageH we Juniors feel that we are fully qualified to pass before the eye.s of the multitude without qualms or misgivings of any sort. For who in the Assembly room is more im])ortant than a Junior ? A Senior you say? No, my friend, the only difference between a Junior and a Senior is the strut, — ever notice it? We Juniors are saving ours for next year. The present Junior Class prides itself upon the manner in which it has held together. The majority have been in the same class prac- tically since they started to school, and hope to graduate together. Our merit varies widely from year to year and from teacher to teacher. Some declare us the best class they have ever had, and some the slowest. One teacher at the beginning of the term confided to others that she had never seen a class that could ask so many foolish (juestions. So it is in life, some boot you, some l)oost you, some laud, others decry, some help, some hinder, some laugh and sneer while others symj athize. In another year we pass from the ] rotecting walls of ' our school to the outer world. AVe must learn to derive liel]) from some, and to shun those who place the stumbling blocks in our way. We are learning that lesson now, although few of us realize it. We are now Juniors in High School, soon to be Freshmen in life and our eiTort to rise to the higher planes will have to be nmch more strenuous than at ]iresent. The desired summit once reached without sacrificing manhood and womanhood, but rather adding to it, we may set a standard for the Freshmen, who are jus t starting out in the race of life. ALLEN L. DALRYMPLE. 53 THE HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS. HE Class of ' 17, like all other classes, has a history and a most interesting one it is. From the very time we entered high school we displayed distinguishing attributes. It was our class which revolutionized the social life of the Freshmen. It was our class also, because of the loyalty and class s[)irit which prevailed, that was ])ermitted to have a social after our ainnial program and a class picnic later in our Freshman year. The Class of ' 17 made its first appearance in the V. H. S. assembly room at the beginning of the fall term in 1913. We respected the Sopho- mores but feared the Juniors and Seniors. Later we overcame this fear but continued to respect them. After our first public appearance w ' served cocoa and other delicacies in the assembly room and had ouii pictures taken in program costumed. Later in the same year at the request of the Seniors we voted to have our pictures taken again for the Annual. After defraying this expense we had some money left and so decided to have a picnic — a new proceeding in the Freshman History. Upon, entering our SojDliomore year, instead of looking down upon the Freshmen and leaving them to learn for themselves, we endeavored to have them profit by our experiences and helped and encouraged them. After our second annual itrogram we again served refreshments and m the latter part of the year furnislied a group of traveling entertainers. Although we cannot be proud of our Caesar class, the deficiency is made up in Geometry. Throughout the year we have conducted ourselves proudly and properly. The class spirit which was aroused in us in our Freshman year has never left us and has served to carry us through many discouragements and difficulties. Although ' 17 has contributed very little to the athletic life of the school, it cannot be said we are not loyal, for on every trip made by the basket ball, base ball, track and tennis teams they were accompanied by at least one member of our class. We hope in the future not only to carry out our ijolicies of class spirit, loyalty, good fellowship and efficiency to such a degree as to make our class, although sur})risingly decreased in numbers, one of the best and largest in the history of V. H. S. but also to arouse and improve the social and athletic life of the high school to such an extent that our class will be remembered until the end of time. EARLE MAVITY. 55 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY. N a bright morning in Sei)teinber, 1906, a band of children started on their journey through the great World of Knowl- edge. We rode quietly along through the first six countries and were royally entertained in the seventh and eighth, for we were the jolliest crowd that had visited them. Theatre parties, sleigh-rides, picnics and debates — in which our orators showed wonderful talent — all helped to make the memory of those two years one of our most cherished dreams. We celebrated the day of our departure for High School Land by having a picnic at W ahub Lake and there bade farewell to our last guide, Miss Fannie Mclntyre, who was always ready to help us have a good time along with our work. The tirst few days in the new land of High School were ones of great anxiety, for we did not know how the natives would receive us or what particular quality or brand of mercy would be meted out to us, but we soon found out — that is the boys did — ask them. For a time we had a constant presentiment of some impending calamity; trembled every time Howard sneezed, and lived in mortal fear of being devoured by some ferocious Junior or Senior. However, we gradually became normal again and began to explore this new country and enjoy life. Each day we discovered new wonders as we i)rogressed toward the mysterious depths of knowledge. We have given few demonstrations and have made few attempts to display our talents which are yet in the embryo. Altlio told we were the best looking tourists now traveling thru High School, we retain our modesty and humility, and absorb Latin and Algebra to the best of our ability. We have among us athletes, who have already won honors in basketball, besides orators, musicians, authors and artists, — all of whose stars of fortune may fall to earth with the speed of a meteoi- before we have finished our journey. — Who knows?

WONDER oft in the Latin class, And list to the stuff that great Caesar wrote; If he came to life in this day and age, What would happen to his old throat. He never knew what he caused, I guess, When the Nervii caught him in such a pinch, And he had to write it from start to end Wish I had him now, that ' s a cinch. Pythagoras, too, the scholar of Thales, And Euclid and all the rest of the bunch. Geometry ' s surely indebted to them, But some others are not, I have a hunch. The synthetic method of theorem proof Is a stumbling block in our onward course. We never will get it, no, try as we may; And we think of the problems we missed with remorse. In Hist ' ry the Germanic invasions, ah, they Get my goat. To remember them ' s surely no fun. The fellows that led them, to me have such names; Theodoric Great and Attila the Hun. Will the works of Scott never cease to be read In the English classes of our High School? We only read them because we must. But find that we like them, that is, as a rule. • — Contributed. 60 BASKET BALL. HE return of the Val))araiso High School to the arena of Inter scholastic ))asket ball in 1914-1915 was marked by the out- pouring of good material and i)rovision of a place in wliicli to stage contests. In getting a gymnasium in which to i)lay we extend our gratefulness to the school board, Mr. Pagin, Mr. Bartholomew and Mr. Loomis. The old German church at the corner of Lincoln and Franklin Avenues was leased by the school board, after hearing numerous ])leas and i)romises. This was fitted u]) by the boys under the direction of Mr. Jessee. After staging two inter- ' lass games in which the Seniors defeated the Juniors and the Soi)hoiii()res the Freshmen, the basket ball season was launched by the team joui ' iieying to Plymouth, supported by a number of loyal rooters. Here on a slippery dance hall floor we lost a well fought game by one jioint, the final score being 27-26. Not dismayed by the loss, we journeyed to the country of our old, but friendly rivals, Laporte. The game was ])layed in their connnodius Y. M. C. A. The game was a tie at the end of the first half, l)ut by good work in the last half Lai)orte managed to i)ull away from us and the game ended in a 28-24 victory for Laporte. You can ' t keep a good man down, neither is it i)ossible to keep a good team from winning, at least, once in a while. In the next game Michigan City featured as the victim for Valpo. The game resulted in a victory for our team, the score being 63-14. Our next game was played at East Chicago. Here we struck the worst gynmasium that comes under that name. To their team we hand the palm for playing a rough, fast and clever game. They beat us 22-40. In a later game on our own floor they again repeated their victory by the close score of 20-21. Their coach 61 said, Valparaiso fights better on lier own floor than any team we have so far played. From Jasi)er (V)unty came Kensselaer, the team famous for having on it two All-State Football men. In an exciting game these lads were decisively trimmed. Mr. Brenner, our local druggist, gave a luncheon in honor of the team from his old home town, Rensselaer, and to the victorious V. H. S. players. Following this game Valpo went to Mich- igan City where we won 34-16. The following Saturday we lost to East Chicago. In a game at C rown Point, without knowing why or how we lost, we came home with the small end of the score, 22-37. A large number of ' ' rooters, ' ' about half of whom were of the gentler sex, accompanied the team. On Friday, Feb. 12, there was an incident in the history of Valpo that stands out prominently. The chesty Laporteans, victors in eight straight games, came over to take their ninth. There was a ter- rible racket and much noise in the little white church and after the smoke and chalk dust had subsided the score registered 31-14 in our favor. On Feb. 19, the team crippled by the absence of Ally, played Crown Point on our own floor and for the first time in three years defeated the Lake County quintet 39-21. This game was followed by a hard luck game with Plymouth. Ham and Ally were lost to the team through illness and with the remains of the team we played a winning game up to the last few minutes when we went to pieces and were defeated by a score of 24-30. This ended our schedule for games at home. The Northern Indiana Sectional Tournament. The Sectional Tournament for this part of Indiana held at Ham- mond was the scene of a contest not long to be forgotten by Valparaiso. Ten teams from the Northwestern portion of this state were entered to try for the honor of representing this section at the State Tournament held at Bloomington. The games commenced Friday afternoon, March 6. The great Gary team was defeated by South Bend in a brilliant game by the score of 30-24. Following this game Valparaiso defeated Wheeler 71-11. In the evening Laporte won from Hammond in easy style, 38-12, and after this game Whiting played a rough game with Lowell, winning with a score of 31-21. Saturday morning East Chicago took their first game from Crown Point, 36-22. Laporte and Whiting played next and after a fine game, showing good work on both sides, Laporte drojiped the game after playing overtime by the score of 20-23. Saturday after- noon the Valjiaraiso team took on South Bend, the team picked to win the tournament, and in a fast and scientific game won by a decisive score of 21-16. Much joy was shown in our camp. 62 After a fortj -five minute rest the Valparaiso team again entered the gymnasium to face their old rivals, East Chicago. The victors of this contest had to play Whiting that night for the Championship. With Dalrymple out of the game on account of injuries, our crippled and tired team started on the long grind. At the end of the first ten minutes our team led 9-2, but the two games in succession soon told on the team ' s strength and at the end of the first half East Chicago led 17-14. The next half proved to be a grinding fight, with great work displayed by our guards. The contest closed with the score 20-129 in favor of East Chicago. Two honorary teams were picked by the two referees, Mowe and Westover. Findling, our right guard, was picked as All-Sectional guard on both teams, while Gates and Loring received honorable mention. The Central States Tournament. This contest was held at the Evanston Y. Al. C. A. and the Patten Gymnasium of Northwestern University. Valparaiso was asked to take Whiting ' s jjlace, and through the leniency of the School Board this was made possible. The team arrived at Evanston Thursday afternoon, March 11, and were entertained at the Sigma Nu and the Phi Kai)pa Sigma fraternities while in Evanston. That night we played our first game against the Evanston Lightweights and defeated them by a score of 27-19. The team did not play again until Friday night when Gary, the best team in Lake County, was defeated after a come-back in the last half by Valpo. The score at the interval stood 10-3 in favor of Gary and at the end of the second half the score was 17-17. Five more minutes were necessary t o determine the winners, in which Valpo secured a two point lead and cinched the game. The next game was to be played against Evanston Saturday after- noon, but Saturday morning the sad news of the death of our Superin- tendent brought us home. Our withdrawal forfeited our i-ight to the shields and medals offered to the winners of the first four i)laces. A banquet was given the team by Mr. Jessee in the dining rooms of the Northwestern Terminal Station at which all expressed i)leasure and appreciation of the treatment received in Evanston. Summary. Altogether the basket ball team played 16 interscholastic games and won 9 and lost 7, giving the team a percentage of Ml . The three games won against the LTniversity ' s Educational, Scientific and Engi- neer teams are not included as interscholastic games. A new system has been instituted in the high school for the giving of letters to the students. Everyone who plays one winning game on the first team in basket ball or places in a track meet will receive a letter V in recognition of their services. Winners of competitive examinations, oratorical contests or those performing any act of hero- 63 ism, will be given a letter. The distribution of these letters is at the option of the Athletic Manager, Mr. Jessee. Records of the Games and the Scores. V. H. S. 26 — 27 Plymouth V. H. S. 24 — 28 Laporte V. H.

It has been our good fortune this year to have a good second team. Such players as Dolhover, Marston, Pratt, Ferris, Wilson, Huntington, Evans, Hoff- man, Stewart, Sierks, Wycoff, Campbell, ( asbon, Deardoff, Mavity and Runyan constituted the second team. There will a hard fight next year among these men for places on the team to fill those left by the five who graduate this year. We wish them all success and hope that they will ha ve a new gym in which to play and train next year. 64 fi iROLO GuTES Howard DooGE Bruce Lonm Allen DALRyiHPLE i Paul Finolino Clarence Gardner Gerald Timmons RoseRrWARK V. H. S. Basket Ball Team, ' 14- ' 15 Mr. Homer M. Jessee. The High School has been very fortunate in having the service of a man so efficient, indomitable and far sighted as Mr. Jessee. He has acted as our manager, coach and referee in practice and in games, and has infused enthusiasm, clean sport and manliness into all activities. Through his efforts the track team was organized last year and Val- paraiso ke])t in the Northern Indiana Association. Supported by the cheer given when things went wrong and by constant encouragement we were able to finish the season ' s work. Under his wise and careful management we leave a surplus in the treasury. For his support in making athletics a credit to the Valparaiso High School, I wish to thank him in behalf of my fellow students and to wish him success with next year ' s teams. Mr. Audrey Skomp. New to our school, but well liked by the students is Mr. Skomp. He has refereed and coached the team ' s practice at times when Mr. Jessee could not be on hand. Mr. Skomp has accompanied the team on many of its trips as faculty representative and as chaperon. His ability in base ball is soon to be demonstrated for he is to organize and coach a strong base ball team in the V. H. S. We wish him success in the future undertaking and thank him for past favors. Allen Dalrymple. Ally ' 16 is conceded by those familiar with the players in the past to be one of the best centers developed in the V. H. S. He made the team in 1913-1914 but there was only one game i)layed during the year in which he displayed his prowess. This year he played against the best centers of Northern Indiana with credit. His lighting spirit and ability to cage baskets has marked him as a comer in athletics. Sickness prevented him from our last two games at the District Tourna- ment. He has another year to play and we wish him success. Harold Gates. Gatesy ' 15. Never before in the history of the Valparaiso High School has there been a player who contributed so much toward a team as has Gatesy. He was elected Captain because of his ability and has maintained this ability throughout the season. He is the nucleus of them and without him they are lost. His ability to play the floor puts him in a class by himself, and his aim for the basket is dea dly. He expects to enter track and tennis this spring and his help will strengthen the teams in their contests. Although the team next year has a wealth of material they never will be the same as if they had him with them. 66 Howard Dodg-e. Hod ' 15 the magician, made the team in 1914-1915 and lias ])layed stellar basket ball ever since. He i)layed forward with (ilates and Loring and filled the position with a veteran ' s ability. Tiie difficult baskets caged by Hod were ones needed in the tight i)laces. We think this is due to his magical power. His ability in athletics is to be shown again for he is to enter track this spring and his work will help the track team. This is his tinal vear in the athletic activities of the V. H. S. Bruce Loring. Ham ' 16 made the team in 191. ]-1914 l)ut didn ' t i)lay in the one and only game on our schedule. His love for the game and untiring efforts to succeed have brought liim into iirominence. His good nature and fighting spirit classed him a a ch an sportsman. He alternated at center and forward, filling both places with ease. He has a future before him in athletics that will mark him as a great V. H. S. product. He is interested in track and his support of it will be just as earnest as that of basket ball. Robert Wark. Bob or Eabbit ' 15 first played in the season of 1912-1913. During his first season an accident compelled liim to give up the game. In the season of 1913-1914 he did not take part in the inter-class games. This year he came out with a vengeance and displayed all his old time ability. Without a doubt he is the scrappiest player on the 1914-1915 squad. His willingness to give the team the l)est, has without a doubt been an asset to which the success of the season is due. His speed in running is to be utilized on the track this year. This year will see the end of his career as a V. H. S. basket ball ]ilayer. Clarence Gardner. ' ' Gid or ' Goldie ' 16, another south] )aw guard, obtained a berth with the team in 1912-1913. He has played with the first team all this season and will be with the team next year. His ability at ])laying floor guard and breaking np plays has given him prestige. In tlie aggressive style of his playing and his judgment is found the making of a good ' ' Varsity player. Gid intends to try out for the base ball team this year and it is withont doubt that his services will be accepted. Paul Findling-. ' ' Germany ' 16 has been a star basket ball player ever since he was a kid. He made the team in 1913-1914 and played in the only game on our schedule that year. His playing has the stamp of a vet- eran and his fighting ability is well known! His work at guard has never been surpassed by any other V. H. S. player. He played in every game and aided the forwards by his sensational baskets made in the 67 crisis of a number of games. To the base ball team he will give much strength and in the track team he expects to enter the weight events. He will be back again next season to strengthen the V. H. S. team. Gerald Timmons. Tiuuny ' 15 is without a doubt one of the most capable players that made the 191-1-1915 team. Although his size has been some hindrance he has made this up in aggressiveness and speed. Could his oratorical powers have been utilized in talking our opponents off their feet, we probably would have won a few of the games we other- wise lost. Timmy is strong for base ball and was elected captain of the 1914-1915 team. We wish him success. John Crumpacker. Angel or Knocko ' 15 made his debut as a rabid follower of the basket ball game in 1912-1918. His success at guard has been a great helj) to the team. In the middle of our schedule he was lost to us by graduation. The guarding of Knocko and Gennany was the best that has been seen in the high school for the last few years. Knocko was the most optomistic member of the squad and to him credit is given for the cheer he gave to the players. He also played on the base ball and track teams and his strength will be missed this year. BASE BALL. The National Game in the V. H. R. is not dead yet and a good team is to be placed in the field this spring. Gerald Timmons was. elected captain and the call for candidates brouglit out most of tlie men on last year ' s team, together with many others. Under the coaching of Mr. Skomp there will be developed a base ball team of the fastest kind. The team last year })layed only one game and that was against Wheeler. The score was 7-5 in our favor. The players on last year ' s team were Herrick, Timmons, Crumi acker, Gates, Findling, Dodge, Gardner, Dol- hover, Sierks and Sievers. Mr. Thomas Blue acted as our coach and faculty representative in tliis game. This year Base Ball was revived and a team chosen consisting of the following: C— Gerald Tinnnons; P. — Don Herrick and Robert McGillicuddy. Fnfielders — Luther Block, Jesse Pratt, John Rievers, Paul Findling and Gurdon Huntington. Outfielders — CHarence Gardner, Fidward Sierks, Coit Dolhover and Arthur Stewart. Mr. Skomp served as coach and Fred Marston acted in the capacity of business manager and treasurer. Because of school difficulties several members became ineligible and the rest of the team disbanded after playing one game. This game was a nightmare, resulting Valpo 87 — Hebron 1. There is much good material in the V. H. S. and if organized next year, Valpo will be able to cope with any High School team in Northern Indiana. 68 V. H.S. Base Ball, ' 15 TRACK TEAM. IIIE last year ' s track team was organized witli a wealtli of good men. A bake sale was held and money obtained with which to purchase the necessary apparatus. Harold Gates was elected captain and the Fair Grounds and University park were used as training quarters. Laporte invited Val- paraiso and Michigan City to take part in a triangular meet held there May 8, 1914. The team took second i)lace, with Laporte as first and Michigan City third. The following is a summary of the events in which Valpo men placed. Half Mile — Burton 1st; Keene 2nd. High Hurdles — Gates 2nd. Low Hurdles — Fogelsonger 1st. Broad Jump — Gates 2nd. Shot Put — C rumpacker 2nd. High Jump — Gates tied for 1st. 100 Yd. Dash— Crumpacker 2nd. 220 Yd. Dash — Fogelsonger 2nd. 440 Yd, Run — Keene 2nd. Pole Vault — Gates 1st; Keene 2nd. Relay Race — Valpo 2nd. 71 VALPAR ISO PUBLIC LIBRARY VALPARAISO, imiAM 46383 This was a very good showing, taking into consideration that nearly all the men were without coaching and experience. Two weeks later the Northern Indiana Athletic and Oratorical Association meet was held at Laporte. This association is composed of Laporte, Valparaiso, South Bend, Goshen, Crown Point, Elkhart, Gary, Plymouth, Michigan City, Whiting, and Mishawaka High Schools. Two N. I. records were broken in this meet and South Bend romped home, winners. Burton and Gates were in the points for V. H. S. Val- paraiso won 6V-2 i)oints. Burton took third in the half-mile, while Gates took iirst in the high jump and tied for third in the pole vault. The N. I. meet will be held at Gary this year on May 22. Arrange- ments are being made by the V. H. S. to hold a dual meet with Laporte this spring. Gary has also challenged us to a dual meet. It is hoped that the V. H. S. can take the meet with Laporte, as they have beaten us twice and tied us once. Those trying for the track team this year are Keene, Ferris, Gates, Capt.; Dodge, Wark, Dalrymple, Muster, Findling and Deardotf. TENNIS. A new sport that has come to meet the high school demand is ten- nis. Gary has a tennis team and lias challenged Valjio. William Schenck was elected captain and the team expects to humble the teams of all comers. NOTES. Boost for a new gymnasium. Where are the tennis players that use the High School court? The V. H. S. also sports two fair feminine basket ball teams. They hold secret practice 1 1 ? f ? Football is but a memory of the past in the V. H. S. News Item — The V. H. S. base ball team is in spring training down south. Yes, down on the south side of the school house. Popular song — 0! Where is my basket ball medal tonight! Bovine throwing and gum chewing are some Athletic exercises still practiced in the V. H. S. C ' lub swinging, as taught by Mr. Lentz, is very popular with the high school girls. Mr. Jessee lost several pounds of flesh and much prespiration while coaching the basket ball team, but he said it was worth it. The V. H. S. is ])roud of the athletes who have gone from her doors to college fame, such as Stinchfield of Purdue; Benton, Meade and Fel- ton of Michigan. The school spirit sliown by the girls at the basket ball games was certainly appreciated. Three cheers for the School Board. Three more for next season ' s basket ball team. May they go to the State Tournament. H. G. 72 GIRLS ' BASKET BALL. OR the first time in a number of years every girl in tlie iiigli school was given an opportunity this year to ])lay basket l)all. Early in tlie fall teams were oi-ganized and placed under the able management of four members of the faculty, Miss Welty, Miss Young, Miss Mclntyre, and Miss Tinunons. Wednes- day and Thursday evening of each week was given to i)ractice in the old High School gymnasium, recently discarded l)y the l)oys. The experiment has been a great success in every way. The ])liysi- eal development of the girls has been excellent and they have learned to think and to act quickly. It has helped to contribute toward the revival of the rapidly dying social spirit in the school and has increased and developed the spirit of good-fellowship among all participating. G. F. A CARD OF THANKS TO THE VALPARAISO BOARD OF EDUCATION. E WISH to express our thanks to the School Board in appre ciation of their endeavor to assist Athletics in the Valparaiso High School. In the s])ring of 1914 they presented us with materials including lumber and nails and granted us the use of the Manual Training room for the puri)ose of constructing apparatus and paraphernalia for track work. Then in the fall of 1914 they appropriated enough money to lease the old German Church on South Franklin Street for a Gymnasium that we might have a ])lace to practice and to comjiete in Basket Ball. In the spring of 1915 they were not only very kind in allowing us to enter the Sectional Basket Ball Tournament at Hammond, but they showed their hearty co-opera- tion by allowing us to accept the invitation of Northwestern University to play in the Central States Championship Tournament. In all our activities we have earnestly endeavored to do our best in return for their kindness and we sincerely hope that the results have not been a disappointment to them. I think I speak correctly when I say that never liefore in the history of the school has there existed between the pupils of the Val|)araiso High School and the Vali)araiso Board of Education a more kindly and co-operative spirit than at the present time.

S. The Class of 1915 voted to publish this year a complete Alumni roll. If any errors have occurred we hope that they will be kindly overlooked because the list of graduates is now a long one and the members are so widely scattered that it is a difficult task to locate every one. The Class of 1915 is the fortieth class to be graduated and adds twenty-seven to the nearly six hundred graduates of the V. H. S. 1874 Rebecca Bartholomew, married A. L.
