She shines in her studies and at parties as well, Aitho ' she ' s a flirt. It doesn ' t hurt, For she has everyone under her spell. ARTHUR CLOUD Art is a fellow, they say. Who makes a new friend a day. Isn ' t it the truth That he likes a Ruth Or does it just look that way? MYRA BARTHOLOMEW With nimble fingers she can draw. Pictures the best you ever saw; She can hunt and fish, Which makes us wish We had these talents without a fl Fifteen THE VALENIAN HAZEL BUTLER She has sunshine, smiles and curly hair And truly quite a rhetorical air; She writes and delivers. And rides in flivvers. For Hazel Butler ' s always right there. NEWELL CAMPBELL Humps Campbell is an athletic young man. Who had no affection for a feminine fan. But he changed his stern views. When Doris sent home this good news, I am brnigmg my chum from Adrian. MARGERY CHAFFEE This dainty young maiden called Marge Chaffee, Is indeed the soul of hospitality. She ' s accomplished, you see.

And civics is the sport Of this girl who can tell no lies. IVAN COLE Here ' s one who ' s surely a literary light. In all his classes he shines quite bright. This IS Ivan Cole. Who ' s on our roll. Which makes us all beam with delight. LILLIAN DARST For Senior dignity to uphold. And yet who ' s not so very bold. She ' s a shining light, I hat gleams quite bright In her studies, is Lillian the maiden just told. THE VALENIAN EMILY DILLE This little giiTs name is Emilee; She ' s as bright and cheerful as can be Her every-ready smile. Is always in style. Now isn ' t that sweet of Miss Dille? HAROLD COULTER His brilliance in English doth far surpass The brains of all the rest of the class; Altho ' he ' s new, He ' s proven true. And every test he ' ll surely pass. OLIVE DOLSON She walks with such a charming grace. And beauty ' s reflected in her blithesome face. This is Olive Dolson, Who ' s so full of fun. While the Senior play has surely shown her place. Eighteen ]M THE VALENIAN JEANETTE FINNEY A teacher she ' s going to be. Is this maiden, Jeanette Finney, Altho ' she ' s quite small And not very tall. Her position she ' ll fill duly. LOWELL DOWDELL There is a dignified person named Lowell, Who holds things well under control; He ' s not a bit trite. And generally all right. Is this Senior with the wonderful soul. AIDA FOSTER Oh Aida has the sunniest smile. And big brown eyes without any guile; She ' s the best coquette. We ' ve ever met — In school she has everyone beaten a mile. THE VALENIAN ESTHER HUGHART There is a young girl named Esther, For ability you need not test her; Sweet are her smiles, Many youths she beguiles. This fair young maiden called Esther. LEWIS FENTON There was a young man named Lewie, Whose lessons all went kee-flooie; But nevertheless We ' re forced to confess In getting Connie he was quite fluky. HELEN HANSEN There is a young maiden called Helen Hansen, Her English career is only begun; She has brown hair. And a dignified air. When all is said and done. THE VALENIAN MARY JESSEE Mary has curly light hair Her face is lovely and fair; A jolly good sport. Just the right sort. And always will do her share. WALTER HILTPOLD Hippy Hiltpold IS our star. And his fame is heralded near and fa In all the sports; From the reports His average is way above par. HAZEL JOHNSON She has such a mischievous air. That one would know her anywhere. She can surely s igh. And just as well cry. Can Hazel, the maid we think so fair. THE VALENIAN MARY KINNEY For Mary Margaret Kinney The virtues are certainly many. She is pretty and sweet, Studious and neat. And has few fauhs — if any. WERNER HILTPOLD oung Hippy is the stellar attraction. And wins the applause of every faction; In basketball I think we all Find he meets quite every exaction. HELGA LINDHOLM Like a princess, Helga ' s stately and tall. And her aptitude is doubted not at ail; Her hair it is fla.xen. We ' ll judge it Saxon; I ler eyes are not hard lo recall. v,ihj-tln THE VALENIAN MILDRED McCORD For someone with exceptional grace, A perfect dancer, a pretty face. See Bib McCord, Who ' s never bored. On whom a young Sophomore has a case. Twenly-fou) ENOCH HUFFMAN Oh Enoch Huffman is a lad. Whom we ' ll all agree is no cad; He ' s as bright as can be. Whom we ' re anxious to see When he takes up the stage as a fad. Here ' s one who burns with poetical fire. Whose future, they say, is not at all dire; She ' s mighty sweet. And can ' t be beat. When it comes to strumming the poetical lyre. THE VALENIAN A KATHRYN MAXWELL Her hair is dark and smooth and waves. In fact, ' tis so pretty that everyone raves; She ' s everyone ' s friend. And never fails to unbend. Which often a trying position saves. RICHARD LEETZ There is a young grocer named Dick, Who in English class alvv ' ays was slick; He ' s a jolly young chap. And doesn ' t care a rap. Does this jolly young fellow named Dick. AGNES MATT This is quite a studious lass, Wilh a jolly smile that ' ll always pass; She is tall and dark. And gay as a lark. While she shines in English class. THE VALENIAN LOUISE MILLER A model student is she — Always gets G ' s or an E; Forever at work. Her duty ne ' er shirks. But has a good time when she ' s free. EARL McMILLEN He ' s but a bag of wind, they say, And man is moulded just from clay; But he ' s all right. And truly bright. Is Mackie, the man of the day. LOIS PALMER Lois loves pretty clothes. That hers are many, she knows- Silks and georgettes. And marquisettes. But to work she simply loathes. THE VALENIAN THELMA PASSOW Tommy has many a brown hair- Of beauty she has all her share; She has lots of pep . Which adds to her rep — To see her gloomy is rare. CLAIR MAXWELL If you want someone to manage a business affair. Why the best we can do is to recommend Clair; He ' s good-looking, ' tis true. And he ' ll surely do; To do him full justice we really don ' t dare. DOROTHY SCHERNAU There is a lass called Dorothy Schernau, Whom. I think, we may say has never a foe She ' s pretty and sweet. And truly ' petite , Is this maid of the House of Schernau. THE VALENIAN HELEN SCHLEMAN This is our editor. Miss Schleman, Who has spent much of her time on Valenian; For this great, noble work. From which others did shirk. Here ' s three cheers for Madamoiselle Schleman. HARRY RIGG Isn ' t he a good-looking young chap? He ' s been the cause of many a scrap ' Yes, he ' s handsome, ' tis true, But. girls, it ' s not nice of you To rush him clear off the map. ELLA SCHROEDER Oh, Ella has eyes of the deepest blue. That seem to be shining just for you; With yellow hair And a dainty air. She seems symbolic of all that ' s true. Twenty-eight THE VALENIAN CARRIE MAE SERGEANT ability no one can dispute her, argument no one can refute her; This is Carrie Mae, The queen of the day — beauty no one can compute her. FRANKLIN RIGGS There is a young chap named Frankhn Ri: Who you must agree is no prig; Ahho ' he ' s tall. That detracts not at all. But for the girls he doesn ' t care a fig. LOLITA SHIRER Quite vampish are those side-long glances. Resulting that with joy our heart prances; This is Lolila Shirer, With many an admirer. Like Theda Bara, I ' ll say, she dances. THE VALENIAN VIOLA SPECHT I know a young lady named Specht, Who on Scotty did have an effect; With her cute little nose. And with cheeks like the rose, She was able to command our respect. CARROLL SILVERS ' Tis true that Carroll ' s hair is red. And illuminates well the top of his head; But his temper is mild. He ' s not the least wild, A thing which cannot often be said. DOROTHY TOUSLEY Deliciously plump is Dor, Her temper rules her no more; With her Grecian features She subjugates all creatures. And her heart is pure gold to the core. THE VALENIAN LEONE WILLIAMS Oh, she has a complexion of peaches and cream. And her face ' tis just hke a wonderful dream; She can surely play. So we ' d dance till day. At least that ' s the way to us it doth seem. LEROY STANSELL This is the fighter we ' ve dubbed Stans , He ' s been a corker ever since he graduated from short pants. In basketball. And that ' s not all. Altho ' he doesn ' t like to dance. THE VALENIAN i M J - -X N f 4 - l V EDITH WYMAN Yes, Edith Wyman ' s surely jolly, Tho ' we must admit she ' s no slave of folly; She ' s rather shy. But we must try. To remember that bright she is exceptionally. BRUCE STANSELL This is the young man by the name of Bruce, Whom to you we ' re glad to introduce; We ' ve named him Buck , And we ' re out of luck When at festivals he fails himself to produce. MILDRED SA LOR Altho ' Mildred Saylor ' s a girl that ' s new. We found she ' s dandy thro and thro; She ' s an excellent student. And very prudent. And thus she ' s proven she ' ll surely do. THE VALENIAN JESSEE WRIGHT Oh, Mrs. Boucher calls him a clown. And ' tis certain he ' s won great renown; In his class each day. And in the Senior play. He ' s the best attraction that ' s come to town. THE CLASS OF ' 20 From the halls of Valpo High School We come, a merry band ; With much wisdom on our faces, And much dignity on hand. ' Tis the Class of ' 20! For our high school days are over And our worth now we must show ; And our hearts beat high with courage, As into the world we go. We, the Class of ' 20 ! Fai- away our i aths may lead us, Thru the vale or up the steep; May we always in our mem ' ries A place for classmates keep. Class of 20. And when our tasks are finished. And all our work is done ; May we meet again, together. At the setting of the sun ! We, the Class of ' 20. -Katharine McAiiliffe. THE VALENIAN ♦Senior (iTia 55 TORY company. Then the whining school boij, with his satchel, And shining face, creeping like a snail Unwillingly to school! tiiB LEFT the stage quoted above, four years ago, and entered Ij i y Ji high school as Freshmen. As we look back, we know we dif- fered not from Freshmen before our time, and Freshmen who will follow us. We were like Willy in the joke book. You may recall that Willy was marching down the street with his As they marched past, Willy ' s mother, who was standing on the curb, said to a neighbor, Just look, everybody ' s out of step but Willy . But we were on the mai ' ch and going somewhere, oblivious of the fact that the rest of the school were out of step. We got acquainted. We met our faculty. We had a great Hallowe ' en masquerade party, and disguised everything but our appetites. We wrote the obituary of first year class fighting, and put a haze on hazing. We were ushered into our Freshman year, in company with the Centennial celebration of Indi- ana Statehood, and were the main feature of a pageant at the Fair Grounds. We continued in our second year with the vim and originality that has marked our class throughout its history. We relieved the stress of ardent study by a weenie roast at Flint lake, relaxing from the worries spent with midnight oil, in the exhilaration of sunshine, bathing, and hot dog a la sand. A little later we introduced to the high school tripping the light fantastic accompanied by suitable jazz, which we submit as abundant proof that we were up and doing. The crowning event of World History occurred dui-ing our Soph- omore year. Our country joined in the great World War. We enlisted in the awesome activity of the drafting and drilling of soldiei ' s, the Lib- erty Loans, the Red Cross knitting. For the fii ' st time, we, with the rest of the country, joined in admii ' ation of our boys in khaki. A little note Th!rf,,-fo n- THE VALENIAN of sadness crept in when we realized that we were a little too young for the romance of the white gowned nurse wearing the Red Cross symbol of aid for suffering humanity ; and how our boys wished they could be — a soldier: Full of stiviujc oaths, and bt rdcd like the pard. In our Junior year we do not have to classify ourselves. We were told outright and abruptly, frequently and emphatically, by one in au- thority, who professed to know our innermost thoughts and later inten- tions, that we were like — Sigh, Madi . . . the lover, 1(1 like a furnace, ivith a woeful ballad to his nnst) cijebroic. Be that as it may, we are able to report that up to the present wi-iting, nothing has been broken. Doubtless it was overlooked that in this year we were tuned up to our study, that we could handle such mat- ters as geometry, with the ease and pleasure that a cat handles a mouse. During this year we began to parlez-vous, and to je ne sais pas . We had time to set a high standard of efficiency in the matter of a Junior Prom, a theatre party, and a New Year ' s party. We greatly rejoiced, with the rest of the world, in celebrating the Armistice, and halt of the great World War. Our Senior year marked, as it should, the culmination of our ac- tivities. We contributed from our class much melody to the Glee Club. We staged a mock trial, giving an initial try-out to some of the world ' s future Judges and Governors. We carried off the honors in the orator- ical with our Portia and our Demosthenes. We proved our versatility in dramatic art, by entertaining with high class vaudeville, and by stag- ing a comedy that won the highest approval. We contributed always to athletics, and furnished from our class a large proportion of the star players of the basket-ball team. The world moved with us in two note- worthy events. It saw the enforcement of National Prohibition, and as we go to press, we call the attention of our readers to the fact of Na- tional Woman Suff]-age. If our high school histoiy were a story in fiction, we have now ai-rived at the closing chapters, where lovers are married and live hap- ]nly ever after . But our class history concerns characters in real life, and we know that graduation marks the beginning of World history for us. With suitable ceremony we receive our diplomas; but knowing that these papers write the epitaph of four happy years, we receive them with a degree of sadness. And so we start out. The world beckons the water is fine, come on in . We have been taught to swim, and are ready to take the plunge. —Dorofhi Tousleif THE VALENIAN TO A CHILD SLEEPING Dear hooded little sleeper! Sleep Till morn with ruddy rays awakes, And kisses thy soft cheek with touch so mild It seems as though the breath of fairy wings. I long to see those gentian eyes With wonder gaze at me. To see Thy red gold hair, by hand all dimpl ' d, Tossed from brow of pearly white. Dear hooded little sleeper ! Sleep In sweet and childish innocence, Till Time and Care with harsh rough hands Do steal and plund ' r thy beauteous rest. -Esther Hiifjhaif A WISH If a fairy should come to me some day. And whisper in my ear, Three wishes for you, whatever you say. Your desire just let me hear. Would I wish for youth, beauty or love. For money, or gold so bright. For health and happiness, power and strength. Or glory, honor and might? Indeed I ' d ask for none of these, I ' d be more wise in choice. To have every wish I wished, would be My answer to the fairy ' s voice. -Ellen Arrin THE VALENIAN JUNIORS Officers Otis Sanfoi-d, President Herbert Mitchell, Vice-President Phyllis Stinchfield, Seo ' ctary and Treasurer H.

This, indeed, sums up in a few words the enviable record of the class of ' 20. In September of ' 17 we came, we saw, and ever since we have been conquer- ing. What have we conquered? Many and various are the weighty subjects whose depths we have penetrated. In Latin we have learned how to conjugate the verb amo ; in Algebra that x equals an unknown quantity ; in Botany, that psychomycetes means bac- teria ; in History, that the Normans conquered in much the same manner as we have overcome our difficulties, with irresistible vigor. We now have the distinction of being the largest class which ever dared to explore the mysteries of Solid Geometry. Does this not speak well for the persever- ance of our class and our willingness to attack that which is hard? Was not our skill in English such that Miss Benney caused us to appear before the assembly, collectively and individually, several times throughout the year? All know that this is a distinction attained by few classes. Perhaps we have not been very active in the social line; but the great mental ability of our class more than makes up for this slight defi- ciency in social activity. Have not the E ' s and G ' s on our cards been numerous and the F ' s and P ' s few and far between? And is it not true that those classes which are very active socially do not attain these high standards? But the royal manner in which we shall entertain the Seniors this year will give abundant evidence that our social genius was only latent. Not only in the line of mental application have we shown our prowess. Was not the meteoric floor guard of this year ' s basketball team a member of our class, to say nothing of the second team men ? Was not the energetic yell master chosen fi ' om our class? Ah, no! Never will a class be found whose attitude and spii ' it are better than the attitude and spirit of this unusual class, which has one year remaining in which to further distinguish itself. — Laura Neet. THE WREN I see her as she builds her nest And flits from tree to tree ; She is the bird I love the best. Of all the birds that be. She flies away, when fall winds blow, In other lands to sing ; I ' m glad all winter, for I know That she ' ll retui ' n with Spring. -Leiris Fenfot THE VALENIAN II THE VALENIAN SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL Officers Arthur Mains, President Russel Nixon, Vice-President Dorothy Dodge, Secretary and Treasurer Miss Aldinger, Supervisor Albright, Mariann Bartholomew, Autumn Becker, Siegfried Billings, Edward Bornholt, Bruce Burk, Gerald Campbell, Esther Christie, Anna Christie, Fredei-ick Darst, Catherine Dee, Dorothy Dodge, Dorothy Ellis, Paul Hodges, Doi ' is Jarrel, Oscar Kuehl, Lyal Kull, Mildred Kulp, Frances LaHayne, Viola LePell, Loi ' ing Lindholm, Elsa Lory, Milo Lowe, Willard Mains, Arthur Marine, Emily Miller, Velma Mitzner, Glenn Montgomery, Ruth Murvihill, Joseph Neff , Ruth Nixon, Russell Nolan, Joseph Oldham, Howard Pai-ker, Constance Rathman, Cecil Riddle, Chai ' les Ritz, Mildred Sanford, Mary Sheppard, Ada Shinabarger, Margaretta Sholes, Mabel Stoner, Mary Stoner, Ronald Tilton, Frances Todd, Dorothy Wai-k, Dorothy Wheeler, Lucile Wininger, Blanche Wyman, Elizabeth White, Geneva i THE VALENIAN m THE VALENIAN THE ANNALS OF THE SOPHOMORES LL ABOARD! rang the stern command of Mr. Jessee, conduc- tor of the Valparaiso High Train, on the first of September, 1918. Show your tickets people! Yes! Yes! I see your destination is Junior Station this time. All aboard — and with clanging bells and a shrill whistle we moved slowly away from the Freshman terminal. Usually the train stopped at a lunch station, about the middle of each day ' s journey, though some preferred to eat on board in the luxurious dining car. Time passed rapidly as we had numerous games with which to amuse ourselves, the most exhilerating of which were. Geometry, super- vised by Mr. Boucher; Latin, by Miss Welty; English, by Miss Reynolds; and History, by Miss Aldinger. Soon our faithful conductor announced a short stop of two days in latter November, during which we held a pleas- ing party at the suggestion of our tour manager, Arthur Mains, under the direction of Miss Aldinger our chaperon. Since this event occurred in the days of women suffrage we had splendid eats served by a committee of suffragettes, Velma Miller, Emily Marine, and Ruth Montgomery. In all too short a time we were on our journey again, but our spirits rose high as the long-looked-forward-to and highly advertized midland stopover was approached. At last the town came into sight around the bend, and we hurried from our cars for a two weeks good time, with hopes of a better dinner than we had thus far enjoyed, because it is well known that Midyear Junction is the most famous place for eats along the route. When we again boarded the train for the final and longest run of our journey, everybody was happy. With a slight change in games we all managed to get along famously. It was during this lap of our jour- ney that Coyer won honor for us by his skill in basketball, Russel by his manipulation of the saxophone and Dot by her vigor at the traps. As we neared the end of the line, rumors began to circulate of a second party to be held at the side of a lake not far from Junior Station. Scouts were at once appointed, by our chaperon, to investigate this matter under the leadership of Mary Sanford, Doris Hodge ' s and Dot Dodge. Although weary from the trip, our hearts beat fast as our old friend, the conductor, proclaimed the terminal at hand. Soon we were all on the picnic ground overjoyed with the results of the outing and resolved to make a similar excursion to Senior Station next year. — Howard Oldham THE VALENIAN FRESHMAN CLASS ROLL Officers Merle Dowdell, President Ralph Brenner, Vice-President Wilma Maxwell, Secretary and Treasurer Miss Ashton, Supervisor Albright, George Albe, John Aylesworth, Howard Barneko, Martha Bartholomew, Margaret Bell, Marion Bently, George Bernhart, Earl Biaeze, Arnold Blaeze, William Bowman, Jesse Brenner, Ralph Butterfield, Clarence Card, Jessee Case, Norma Campbell, Ida Clifford, Thomas Clutter, Elizabeth Cobb, Louise Corson, Delephene Cromwell, Donovan Dee, Margaret Douglas, George Douglas, Herbert Dowdell, Florence Dowdell, Merle Duncan, Frank Dye, Guilford Ely, Clarissa Fabing, Alice Farnum, Melnetta Feece, Mable Field, Irene Field, Harry Fischer, Paul Freeman, Leota Glover, Hgward Greene, Edna Gustafson, Harold Gustafson, Margaret Hall, Fred Hall, Leland Hayes, Mary Hershman, Ruth Hicks, Verona Hisgen, Phyllis Holman, Harold Horner, Almira Horner, Fred Hughart, Be)-nice Keene, Gladys Keene, Glenn Keene, Lynn Ketchum, Annette Krull, Walter Kruse, Eva Kuehl, Luella Larson, Kenneth Lauritzen, Paul Leetz, Miladi Leetz, Milton Lish, Audrey Lish, Merton Looniis, Nellie Louderback, Robert Lowe, Dorothy Ludington, Alice Mann, Randall Maxwell, Wilma McCallum, Woodburn McMillan, Thelma McWhinney, Wilma Meeks, Floyd Miller, Robert Mitchell, Dickey Mitchell, Ruth Muster, Alberta Parker, Alice Parker, Charles Prentiss, Harold Prentiss, Loren Rathjen, Virginia Richards, Edith Richards, James Roach, Eva Sandy, Margaret Schenck, Elizabeth Seymour, Deforest Seymour, Russell Simon, Samuel Sherrick, Zelma Shinabarger, Arthur Shinabarger, Laura Spooner, Leonard Stansell, Florence Stoner, Edith Stoner, Richard Stevenson, Paul Thompson, William Timmons, Margaret Trahan, Cecelia Van Arsdel, Ruth Vevia, Ella May Vosburg, Edna Wade, Harry Watt, Forrest Wheeler, Aneta Wheeler, Mary Whisler, Irene Willing, Myrtle Wilson, Esther Wittenburg, Fred Wood, Melba Wulff, Charlotte Zeller, Eleanor THE VALENIAN THE FRESHMAN HISTORY -KS, we Freshmen were disappointed when we entered that y ' gieat temple of learning, the Valparaiso High School, for no I lapping of hands greeted our meek forms as we kindergarten children tried to march unconcernedly across that large As- sembly Room with its vast sea of amused faces, to our (?) seats far off in the distance. However, when one of us reached what he thought to be his seat, a dignified Senior would say, You sit in the seat just ahead, sonny . Oh, those most embarrassing moments! In spite of this it really was not very exciting, for a second disappointment was in store — there were few conflicts. Perchance when we become honored Sophomores or Juniors we shall be brilliant enough to answer these now unanswerable questions: Why do so many of the Freshies ' shoes squeak? Where did Mr. Jessee learn all that Algebra? Why do Seniors and even Juniors seldom get a bawling out ? Why must we work an equation the solution of which is zero? Think of all that work and time for nothing! Last, but not least, how does a certain one of our most innocent damsels repeatedly get into the Senior History Room when going to her English I? Nevertheless our class has some accomplishments, since we have been cultivating our voices very successfully. Indeed, fully one-fourth of that abominable racket at the gym was made by the pupils of our class. If you don ' t believe it just ask Tom or Dot. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Ashton our class has done as much as could be expected of insignificant Freshies in the social line. We had a Hallowe ' en Party in the Kindergarten Room, which we chose because the upper classmen thought it most suitable. This being a suc- cess, one bright day when the snow had almost vanished we decided to have a sleigh-ride party in honor of the gi ' een Freshies who had just come up . It seemed that luck was ours, for a few days before the party a new coat of snow covered the earth. The night of the party was a crisp, moonlit one. The only thing that marred our pleasure was the fact that our pi ' esident loved his Sunday school better than his high school. Our class does not lack musicians, poets, artists, athletes, handsome boys or pretty girls. The hopeful faculty and even some of the advanced students join us in predicting that some day in the near future we may be able to be stately Seniors, instructing the lonely, shy little Freshies how to study. — Margaret Timntojis. Forty-eight THE VALENIAN Vo h£G I HE night had been culm and clear; and great was my surprise as I sat alone reading to hear thunder rumble and break forth in loud claps and to see sharp streaks of lightning flash across the window. In a minute a storm was raging fiercely, the at- mosphere became heavy and tense and the lights flickered and went out. But I was left in that awful darkness only a minute, for sud- denly I heard three loud knocks on the table beside me and turning saw a dim light hovering over the ouija board that was lying there. Spell- bound I placed my fingers on it and to my horror felt invisible finger tips placed opposite mine. Stricken with terror, yet fascinated, I watched it spell rapidly the names of all my classmates. Helen Schleman will be editor-in-chief of the world ' s most famous magazine, in which will appear the poems of Kathryn McAulifl ' e and the pictures of Myra Bartholomew. She will often visit Esther Hughart, the president of Smith College. Harold Coulter will be the mayor of Chicago and will spend many a pleasant day with his friend Arthur Cloud, a real estate business man, n ' itnessing all the sports of the season, especially those in which their old fiiends, Wei-ner and Walter Hiltpold, are starring. And what a numbei ' of the old class will be in New York. Carrie Mae Sergeant and Dorothy will be dealers in the most exclusive Paris gowns, most of which are designed by Lois Palmer, the most original cre- ator of fashions in Pai ' is. Lowell Dowdell will sing in grand opera there, and Lillian Darst will be superintendent of the public schools. Also THE VALENIAN Olive Dolson shall make campaign speeches there for suffragist candi- dates; and Mildred McCord, a wealthy society woman, will be greatly in- terested in the health reform of the city conducted by Ellen Arvin. Ella Schroeder will be head bookkeeper at Marshall Fields ' and will often return to Valpo to see Viola Specht, who with her husband is managing the most popular summer resort in the U. S. Jesse Wright, after many years of diligent study, will also return to his beloved V. H. S. and become its honored principal. Emily Dille will be private secretary to America ' s most cele- brated actress. Opal Williams. Dorothy Schernau, Magdalene Gast, and Helga Lindholm (together) will be managing the Pennsylvania Railroad, striving hard in competition against Enoch Huffman, manager of the U. S. aerial service. Margery Chaffee will be the wife of the governor of California and head of the California Woman ' s Club. Near her will live Mary Jessee, the wife of a prominent minister, and Louise Miller, who will be the business manager of a large factory in San Francisco. They will sometimes see Franklin Riggs, the well known photoplay director, or Harry Rigg, who will be commanding a regiment of U. S. troops there. John Fabing will be a judge of the Supreme Court and will some- times pause in the middle of a busy day to purchase a book from Earl McMillen, a most prominent and successful book agent. Clair Maxwell will be a famous scientist and inventor of farm im- plements and will be assisted by his sister Kathryn, who will act as his secretary. Carroll Sievers will be a renowned druggist and will amass a great fortune from the sale of hair dyes. And then there will be Richard Leetz, the founder of a chain of well known grocery stores; Hazel Butler, a foreign missionary to China; Mary Cobb, the owner and manager of a number of modern scientific farms; Helen Hansen, head of a home for refugees in Belgium; Mary Kenny, an interior decorator; LeRoy Stansell, a noted government detec- tive ; Ada Foster, happily married and living in St. Louis ; Thelma Passow, a popular moving picture star; Bruce Stansell, a Chicago banker; Leone Williams, head nurse in a Chicago hospital ; Newell Campbell, founder o f the famous soup kitchens of Russia; Kathryn Fox, a well known figure in Chicago society ; Ivan Cole, author of three famous histories ; Edith Wyman, owner of a fruit farm in Florida; Hazel Johnson, principal of a girJs ' boarding school in Boston ; Agnes Matt, a kindergarten teacher ; Mildred Saylor, a flower specialist and owner of hothouses; Loleta Shirer, living with h r husband in a beautiful home on the Hudson ; and Lewis Fenton, husband of the first woman ambassador to France and a popular member of Paris society.

Immediately the room became brightly lighted again; the ouija board was resting quietly on the table; the night was calm and clear. -Jeaneffe Finney TO A MITLE Every poet ' s missed him, so to speak, But never-the-less, you know he ain ' t no fool ; He ' s done as much for his country as any man.

Franklin Rigcj THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN IKU IC In the last two years, the Music Department of the Valparaiso High School has developed greatly. The music club which consists of the orchestra, Cirls ' and Boys ' Glee Clubs, and Ukelele Club, has been organized and has given entertainments which have been exceedingly enjoyable as well as beneficial, to all the citizens of Valparaiso. All credit must be given to Miss Higbee, our musical director, for the rapid musical develop- ment in our school. The members of the Senior Class can look back at the time when such a fine class of music seemed out of the question ; and we therefore extend to Miss Higbee sincere appreciation for her efforts. She has created one thing which has been lacking in former years, — real school spirit . Miss Higbee is not only i-espected and admired for her musical ability by the students under her special instruction, but by the whole student assembly. Several times this year, the different members of the music club have entertained the High School with the best class of music. It was always received with special gratitude from the pupils and faculty. These entertainments not only add to the joy of our school life, but are also very educative. The music club should also be thanked for their loyal support to Miss Higbee in her untiring eff ' orts to make the music of our school a credit to our city. And now that Valparaiso has seen and heard the excellent musical talent in our high school, we hope that those once hid- dt ' U treasures shall in the future, prove of the greatest pride and of ines- timable value to all the students and citizens of Valparaiso. E THE VALENIAN THE GRAND CONCERT j|HE FIRST concert of the season was given, Friday evening, n ' December 12th, 1919, under the direction of Miss Juva Hig- bee. The difficult numbers rendered by the orchestra were especially fine. The Boys ' Glee Club, as usual, was enjoyed by all. The girls, in their pretty evening dresses, made a pleasing effect and delighted their audience with several selections. Charles Coyer ' s violin solo and Roger Wilson ' s trombone solo were of special interest. The musical ability of these two students was greatly admired by their listeners . Last, but not least, was a realistic school scene consisting of the members of the Boys ' and Girls ' Glee Clubs. They sang many of the beautiful popular songs which were greatly enjoyed.

Each of the musical numbers was given in a most pleasing manner. The orchestra which accom- panied the singers rendered the Overtui ' e with excellent abil- ity. Gretchen Marquart, who played the part of Theresa, looked espe- cially charming in her Spanish costume. She sang two selections, which were sweetly given and caused much applause. Vera Cole proved to be a very successful Miss Felling, the faithful tutor of Theresa, who was in- clined to take the wrong view of love. Eleanor, Mildred McCord, was very sweetly and tastily dressed in white. Her songs, and especially the duet with Thomas Morony, as Captain Bombastio, were very beautiful. Their graceful little dance added much to the evening ' s entertainment. Lowell Dowdell, known as Don Cubeb, and his wife, Ruth Blachly, were excellent. They were greatly distressed over the future of their daughter, Theresa, who was determined to marry Richard Stoneybroke. Otis Sanford won fame for himself in last year ' s operetta and surpassed his former reputation this year by taking the part of Richard, Theresa ' s lover. In a very tactful way he planned to take Theresa to the Pirates ' Lair, and there marry her. Bill Pilgrim, Le Roy Stansell, was clever in his role of retired pugilist. Thomas Marimon, the Legal Advisor, added much to the operetta with his excellent voice. The funniest characters in the whole performance wei ' e Zim and Zam. These two boys, Steven Corboy and Arthur Mains, gave the audience a chance for many a hearty laugh. J. Gordon Wright was Don Cubeb ' s servant. The manner in which he fol- lowed his master was very i-idiculous and very entertaining. The part of Kitty was cleverly taken by Edith Small. We should mention also Don Cubeb ' s relations in their Spanish cos- tumes, the Pirates, the Men and Maid Servants, the Wives and Sweet- hearts, whose different choruses were very harmonious and well sung. Especial notice should be given to the Spanish dance. The girls who took part in this were very graceful and made a very charming spectacle. Much gratitude is due Miss Higbee and Mrs. Boucher for making this operetta the best the High School has ever given. — Mary Louise Jessee. Fiftii-cight THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN If 1 ITB H v THE VALENIAN THE MOCK TRIAL |N THE evening of February 25th, the assembly room was filled beyond capacity with an amazed and wondering crowd. There was much whispering, and many questions were asked. The assembly was brought to order by Walter Hiltpold, deputy sheriff of the school. Immediately began the cross-examina- tion of the jurors — Thelma Passow, Harry Riggs, Carol Sievers, Lois Palmer, Ella Schroeder, Dorothy Towsley, Marjory Chaffee, Louis Fenton, Kathryn Maxwell and Enoch Hoffman were accepted by both the plaintiff and defendant. After this procedure, Mr. Fabing, attorney for the State, read the charge filed by Arthur Cloud against Le Roy Stansell. Mr. Cloud charged Mr. Stansell with assault and battery, with intent to kill. Mr. Cloud was first to testify that on October 23rd, 1919, between the hours of two and three P. M., while coming from the English room, he was attacked by Mr. Stansell, who had an open knife in his hand. He tes- tified that Mr. Stansell struck him with said knife, which was aimed at his heart. With great presence of mind he warded off the blow by putting up his left arm, thus causing the knife to strike his arm and inflict a deep gash. Mr. Cloud was then cross-examin ed by Lawyer McMillen, and upon being satisfied he was dismissed by the plaintiff. Mr. Cloud ' s statements were supported by the following witnesses: Mr. Wright. Q. Why did you notice Mr. Cloud on coming from the room? A. Because I was behind him. Q. How do you generally leave the English room? A. Generally on foot. Sh-t IJ—tWO THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN Mr. Riggs. Q. What called your attention to Mr. Stansell during the recita- tion? A. He seemed to have some very vicious glances to cast ai ' ound the class. Mr. Hiltpold and Miss Arvin were duly sworn and questioned. Then the defendant was sworn. He testified that although he did have a knife in his hand he had been using it for a different purpose, to clean his finger nails. He also testified that he closed the knife on leaving the school room and he did not strike Mr. Cloud until he had received a brutal push from the latter. Mr. Jessee then testified to the good natui ' e and good character of Mr. Stansell. Mr. Fabing summed up the evidence and presented to the jurors what he considered the facts. Then followed the most pathetic appeal ever made in a court room. Mr. McMillen led his listeners through the prison where the defendant would spend the prime of his life. With tears in their eyes he brought them back from that journey only to take them on another. He took them to the home of the defendant ' s wife and five chil- dren, whom he supported doing nothing. When they returned from the trip the whole court was shaken with sobs. The jurors then retired to make their decision. On their retui-n the people waited bi ' eathless to hear their I ' epoi ' t and were struck with horror at the word, Guilty! —Carrie Mae Sergeant.

THE VALENIAN ORATORICAL CONTEST The customary oratorical contest was held January 9th. As an example of our originality we selected lovely weather for the occasion — not a stormy cold night as has been the usual case. All the subjects were of current interest and each speech was worthy of much praise. The decision of the judges was in favor of Margery Chaffee for the girls and Lowell Dowdell for the boys. After the contest the Senior class held a canteen in the south hallway. After all the candy and pop-corn balls had disappeared the crowd went down to the kindergarten room and danced.

Scveniij THE VALENIAN AMERICA ' S DEBT TO HER WOMEN K ' ROM the very beginning of civilization we find the pages of his- tory filled with the accomplishments and achievements of great and famous men. They are loved, honored and respected by us all and their memories will live in our hearts forever. And truly they are worthy of praise and admiration, for is it not to our men that we owe the wonderful blessing of living in a free and democratic country? Have they not founded the church, the state, and the nation, and our great institutions of learning? Have they not sacrificed life itself that we might enjoy even greater libeity and freedom? But what of our women? Where have they been all these years? Have thoy accomplished nothing? Have they contributed nothing to civil- ization? They surely cannot have been idle! For in other fields we do know that their influence has been felt all over our great country, among all classes of society, and in all departments of culture and learning. In- deed our average American woman of good birth, breeding, and parentage has enjoyed better advantages of education and is better informed than the average American man. But because the American woman ' s sphere has been more retired, less is known of her activities, and therefore it is my aim to tell briefly some of the things she has accomplished in literature, science, business, art, and home-making and thus has helped to mold Ameri- can history. It seems only right that the first woman who influenced American civilization should not be overlooked. This is Isabella of Castile. Few people realize that her name is connected almost inseparably with the his- tory of our country, yet without her aid and encouragement Columbus would never have been able to reach the new world. Isabella was willing not only to sacrifice her crown jewels, to bear the sneers and disapproval of her own court, but even to risk her royal prestige and her fame as a queen to help in what then seemed a hopeless and visionary undertaking. She did take such risks and she did make such sacrifices and as a re- sult she stands today before all the world, an example of what can be stai ' ted by a woman ' s heart and hand. Another foreign woman who should be equally honored is Madam La Fayette, whose sacrifices for the cause of liberty helped to found this, the most democratic country in the world. In i-emembei-ing our own American women, let us first consider the women of Plymouth Colony, and see what they have contributed to the welfare of our country. Not much is known of the women of Plymouth Colony; history has never been filled with their praise, and yet we do know that they played a conspicuous part in the life of the colony. We first see them on board the Mayflower, tenderly nursing the sick and car- ing for those who are either too old and feeble or too young to look after themselves . Next we see them in cold New England cheei ' fully woi-king in THE VALENIAN the fields along with their husbands, or in their crude but neat cabin homes, busy with their household duties or giving gentle words of encour- agement and praise that so greatly influenced the lives of their noble sons and daughters. Most people are apt to condemn the Puritan woman for her so-called pitiless New England conscience and her narrow views of life. But we must consider her reasons for leaving England and the con- ditions under which she lived before we criticize her too severely, for she had left England to escape religious persecution and to live her life accord- ing to the dictates of her own conscience. Is it any wonder that she so I ' igidly enforced the religious and moral ideals for which she had endured exile from her homeland? We must also remember her great devotion to her home and family, her educational and religious instructions and her high moral standards, which resulted in the Puritan woman ' s having an in- effaceable impression upon our social life. Let us next see what the women of the American Revolution and of the Civil War have done for us. When their husbands, brothers and sons were called away to fight for their country and perhaps even give their lives, the women sent them off ' with a tender and affectionate farewell, speaking words of courage, inspiring them with greater patriotism, and always helping them to do their duty, which is the greatest tenderness a woman can show towards a man. These women were not content alone to make warm garments for the soldiers when the bitter cold of winter came on, but they even took up the hard manual labor that the men were forced to lay down. The young girls, too, quickly caught the spirit of their moth- ers, and amid their gayety and mirth helped in the great cause of freedom. Modern American women who have not been closely confined by their home duties have entered into the life of the world and have won equal distinction with some of our great men. American women are among the foremost writers of the day. A successful publisher says that it is an undisputed fact that some of the best literary work of today is done by women. In two years, out of the fifteen best books published, eleven were written by women. Many of these books have had a great in- fluence in moulding public opinion. Take, for instance, Uncle Tom ' s Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Written at a time when there was great opportunity to work on the sympathies of mankind, it roused wide sympathy for the sorrows and sufferings of the black man. It recognized the brotherhood of man and offei ' ed a not impossible solution of the slave question. Many of the best magazine articles have been contributed by women. Suffrage papers have been published by enthusiastic club women and the daily papers have a large percentage of women contributors. Only recently have all avenues of business and industry been opened to women. The best positions were always offered to men and lower wages wei-e paid to women, even though their work was of a high quality. But today the woi ' ld is recognizing woman ' s ability and she is gaining a THE VALENIAN place of her own in all lines of work. It is not at all uncommon now for a woman to study law, be admitted to the bar and work up a good practice. Some women have even been admitted to practice before the superior courts of the United States. There is scarcely a business or trade at the present time in which women are not employed. They are found as clerks, salesladies, postmis- tresses, stenographers, dentists, and in other positions too numerous to mention. During the recent war they successfully filled positions in muni- tion factories. In philanthropy, too, the American women have woi-ked earnestly and diligently. We all know the heroic part they played in the last war by spending long, tedious hours making bandages for the wounded or warm garments for the soldiers in training. Those who could, went overseas and devoted their time to nursing, while those who were gifted with some par- ticular talent went about among the hospitals entertaining the convalescent soldiers with their cheerful songs and their interesting .stories, or their clever stunts. Through the various women ' s organizations of the churches a great work has been done. They have spent an endless amount of time and money in charitable work, and in establishing community houses for home- less children. Many women have gone into the foreign fields of China, India, and Africa, to spread Christianity. Their task has been anything but pleasant, but they have kept at it faithfully, feeling that they were being fully paid by the consciousness of the great work they were doing. Other societies of women, under the leadership of Frances E. Willard, have accomplished wonders in the cause of temperance. But though woman ' s influence has been felt so keenly in all these lines of work, it is almost nothing as compared to what her influence has been in the home. She alone has created the home, and it is her greatest gift to humanity. Many nuns may cry out that their sole purpose in life has been to serve God ; beautiful queens may say that they have devoted their lives to the service of their people and their country ; but their voices would be lost among the vast throngs who cry, Our only aim in life has been to make a good home. And truly the woman who has created a good home is far greater than the most renowned statesman, poet, or philoso- Ijher the world has even known, for if it were not for the patient efforts and the sweet Christian influence of the mother which inspire her chil- dren with noble thoughts and sentiments which cling to them all their lives, we would have no great statesmen, poets, oi- philosophers. It is in the home, during the early years of childhood, that the mother ' s influence is the greatest. During this time she teaches the child to obey cheerfully, to honor and respect his parents, to fear God, and at all times and under all circumstances to stand for the truth and justice. It is the child who is thus trained who grows up to be a useful, law-abiding citizen, a man of high moi-al standing and a tiaio patriot. How impoi ' tant, it! -lln THE VALENIAN then, is this early training! For what mother can know but that to her care may have been entrusted the Hfe of some future poet, philosopher or statesman ? Mary Washington is one of the best examples of what a good home- training can do. We need to spend no time in eulogizing her, for the only eulogy she needs is the character of her illustrious son. La Fayette on meeting her was so impressed with her quiet dignity, and her i-efined manners and speech, that he exclaimed, If such be the matrons of America well may the country boast of illustrious sons. Today is the most promising era for women the world has ever known. Woman is no longer the timid, fearful creature of the past, but she is a creature independent and free with the desire to push out into life, and establish a reputation for herself. But do not think because wo- men are taking this outward step that they are leaving behind them all those sweet and gentle virtues that have always been so characteristic of them. By no means! For they still retain their gentle qualities but are only adding new characteristics which are broadening their lives and making them sweeter, fuller, and richer. And so let the American woman always be honored, loved and respected in all our hearts, for a fair test of the measure of civilization of any country is the estimate in which its people hold their women. — Marjorie Chaffee.

His nurse was an old negro woman, the mammy of the household. One day, while suffering a nervous pain, he became enraged at her officious benevolence and threw a slipper at the old woman ' s head. There was a skillful dodge of the red bandana, and then she deliberately picked up the slipper and hurled it back at him, with the words: Dah, now! I ain ' t gwine to let no white chile sass me; ain ' t. This incident, which is historical, illustrates the position of the mammy in a Southern family in the olden time. Very similar was the position of the old colored uncle in the days of slavery. Against all care and all want these old dependents of the family were assured in the love of their owners, and if that was not sufficient, in a legal obligation for their support. What a change in this care-free existence was wrought by that other- wise beneficent stroke of Abraham Lincoln ' s pen, January 1st, 1863 ! There is a sort of conservatism which modifies the first shock of a great revolution in the condition of a people. Because of this, no immediate and general breaking up of the plantation system occurred in the South in 1865. Many of the planters attempted to farm their lands as before, substituting paid labor for slave labor. In such cases, it made little difference to the kindly owner that the old negroes on the place should be pensioners on the supplies furnished by him for the plantation. The plantation system soon decayed. The owner of broad acres found it profitable to divide them into scttlc))ient.s and rent them to the ' •hands . Small farms were the order of the day. Many of the thrifty negroes acquired the ownership of the patches they cultivated. There was no place in this economy for those who could not take care of themselves. They afford an instance in human life of the truth so often observed in geological history, that types exist- ing at the close of one era and the beginning of another bear the brunt of the change and struggle for existence in an unfriendly environment. The old uncle and the old mammy are impossibilities to this genera- tion. Time has broken the die which molded them, and we shall not look upon their like again. Fifty-four years have passed since the South emerged from the Civil War, wrecked and shattered — their banking system was destroyed, agriculture was dead, no manufacturing industries existed, capital had vanished, their railroads had been all but completely destroyed, poverty reigned supreme in town and hamlet, and recuperation seemed wellnigh impossible. THE VALENIAN Turning from these sad and desolate pictures to the present period, we see that the conditions which exist everywhere today throughout the South justify the assertion and belief that these states must possess great and unusual advantages to have reached within a period of fifty-four years a condition of prosperity which points with a confident finger to a tri- umphant future. With a population of twenty-five million and an area of eight hun- dred thousand square miles, we here have a group of states worth describ- ing somewhat in detail. Running through their center extends the south- ern Appalachian region, along whose northwestern slope stretches a con- tinuous and unbroken coal field of incalculable value, heavily timbered, with a productive soil and a healthful and cool climate. Lying towards the east spreads another strip of high, mountainous country, rising over 2,000 feet above the sea level. These ranges are covered with dense forests of varied and valuable wood, and are prolific in slates, fine clays, marbles, ores, copper and other minerals, with a wealth of iron which only equals their colossal wealth in coal. The coal fields of the South, by their extent and depth, are practically beyond the limits of definite measurement, and the coal trade, yet in its infancy in that section, bids fair to spread far beyond the limits of this country owing to the greatly improved harbor facilities in Mobile and Pensacola and because of an enthusiastic Amer- ican spirit to enter into international commerce, prompted undoubtedly by the opportunities opened up by the European war. As the agricultural industries of the Southern states are the foun- dation of their prosperity, they demand priority of consideration. Among them, cotton, the greatest staple production of the world, stands unques- tionably foremost; for the ramifications of interests interwoven in the cotton trade, which embrace the planter, manufacturer, merchant and exporter, aggregate a colossal amount of capital and absorb the energies, ingenuity and genius of millions of men. Altho Great Britain ' s supremacy in cotton manufacture is con- ceded it is solely owing to the fact that it has been the home for a great many years of the most improved applications of machinery to that industry, for they have no raw cotton near at hand and must import ma- terial from foreign countries, chiefly from the Southern states. The Eastern mills of the United States do now rival those of Lancashire, and the splendid manufacturing structures recently erected in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana, are rapidly outstripping both because of the superior economic conditions which they control, such as locating and operating mills in close proximity to their own cotton fields. The Southern states of America furnish SO ' ;! of the raw cotton of the world, retaining for home uses one-third of the quantity produced, the rest going to foreign markets. The capital and enterprise demon- strated in the erection of cotton mills in the South of recent years coupled THE VALENIAN with cheap and contented labor and Hmitless coal mines, whose surface strata alone is being utilized at a small cost, contrasted with the great cost of extracting coal from the deep coal beds of England, makes the price of manufacture favor the South. Holding therefore these splen- did advantages she will, following the World War, naturally seek for a widening foreign market. This she now can readily reach through the Panama Canal, thereby adding South American countries, China, Japan and the islands in the Pacific to her rich and prolific market. The sugar-cane of Louisiana is a product giving the most lucra- tive returns to the cultivator and presents one of the most beautiful sights in the world. The splendid luxurance of this crop caught in the gentle Southern breezes, waving gracefully in billowy green rows, under the radiant light of a glowing Southern sky, an almost indescribable scene, develops into a commodity giving remunerative employment to an indus- trious population and brings millions of dollars into the state annually. In 1881 the South produced 400,000,000 bushels of wheat, corn and oats. The increase in these products coupled with a corresponding in- crease in the cotton crop, goes to pi-ove the sagacity of the great English commoner, John Bright, who said : Those beautiful states of the South! Those re- gions, than which the whole earth offers nothing more lovely or more fertile. A greater variety of timbers are not to be found than in the South- land, for here the cherry and laurel intermingle their luxuriant foliage and thrive along with white and yellow pines, the chestnut, walnut, hick- ory, poplar, and oaks. Turning toward the carrying power of the South, we see that the mileage of the Southern railroads has grown from 23,000 miles in 1881 to .53, 53.3 miles in 1907, and that these roads have made far greater strides in the way of improvements within the past twenty years than lines in other sections of the country, while their reductions of freight and passenger rates have been greater. In 1890 there were less than 30 miles of double track railway lines in the territory south of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi but in 1907 this had increased to 1,321 miles of double track, and the total of operated tracks had increas- ed, as above stated, to 53,533 miles. The South has had its political problems and it is hard for Southern- ers to forget the reign of terror or the period of negro supremacy follow- ing the Civil War, that intolerable yoke which was only destroyed by a solid vote . Nevertheless, the tariff in these days causes a division of public opinion, and gradually but surely the voters are becoming independ- ent of party lines. The Old South, exclusively agricultural, was a unit for free trade; while the New South, turning its attention to cotton spinning and mining, favoi ' s a policy which will foster these interests. She sees in THE VALENIAN the tariff a temporary but necessary expedient for the upbuilding of new industries, and is naturally unwilling to sacrifice the prospects at the very moment when it is beginning to aid in the development of her resources, so to some extent, she is already breaking away from a solid vote , stirred to the act by the gigantic breadth of her commerce, enterprise and capital. And now that the glimmering dawn of a stupendous future is fairly spreading its transcendent glow of prosperity abroad over the great Southern states, the throb of pulsating triumph beats in the hum of the factory, glows in the smelting furnace, and ascends in the soft twilight hours from the rich furrows of her incomparable fields, while the salt- sea waves, as they rock her shipping and dance against pier and wharf, add their exultant voices in prophecy of the coming prosperity they so plainly foresee for THE NEW SOUTH. —Paul Lowell DowiJcU ODE TO AN IDEAL |HEN I am doomed to fall in love, I ' ll seek my mate just like a dove, I ' ll search the country far and wide. Until I have her by my side. And when I find her you shall see, Just how her vision seemed to me. Her eyes will be a delicate blue. Her lips shall form a dark red hue. Her cheeks shall be tinted red, And dark lustrous hair shall crown her head. Her soul shall be so pure and sweet, That the Lord will save her a Heavenly seat. And when I find my sweet ideal, ' Tis many a kiss that I will steal. And when I kiss that soft pink cheek, I pity the fellow that dares to peek. For no one but a low down bum, Would have the crust to spoil our fun. -Earl McMillan THE VALENIAN CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE ' M INVITED to a dinner party at Mrs. Patterson ' s this even- ing, Bob, so why don ' t you go over to your mother ' s? said Mrs. Jean Mullen to her husband one morning. I believe I ' ll do that, Bob replied. Mrs. Patterson ' s parties were always given for one of two reasons: she was indebted to those whom she invited, or she had something important to tell someone. The latter happened to be the reason for this particular party. The guests were all seated at the din- ing table with Jean at Mrs. Patterson ' s right. After the first course had been served and everyone was talking to someone else, Mrs. Patterson started a conversation with Jean. They talked on general topics for a lew moments and then Mrs. Patterson suddenly asked : Do you know a young lady by the name of Letty Malone, Mrs. Mullen? Letty Malone? Why, I don ' t recognize the name, Jean said. Well, I really suppose I ought not to tell you this, but I am only doing it because I think it is for your own good. The other night when your husband and Tom Bentley and several other men were here to see Mr. Patterson, I was going by the libi-ary and happened to overhear one of the men say, Say, Mullen, who was that good-looking woman that came into the office to see you the other day. Before your husband had time to answer, Tom Bentley laughed and said, Oh! Letty Malone . Now my dear, I ' m telling it to you just as I heard it and I haven ' t told any one about it — but I did think you ought to know. Jean, whose greatest fault was her jealousy, tried to conceal her feelings by answering, Thank you very much for telling me, Mrs. Patterson, but I don ' t think it is anything to worry about . She really was very indignant and as soon as she could she excused herself and went home. She decided to act as though she had no suspicions, and see how long her husband would deceive her. She endured the suspense for about a week and then decided to act for herself. She called up Tom Bentley and said very sweetly, Tom, this is Jean Mullen speaking, and I should like very much to see you today. Don ' t you want to take me to the ' Myndoi-a ' for lunch this noon? — Oh! thank you very much ; I knew you would. Shortly after twelve that noon Jean and Tom sought a secluded coi-ner of the spacious dining-hall, and after giving the oi-der Tom turned to Jean smilingly and said, Well, my dear, what is the trouble now? Jean told him all Mrs. Patterson had said. Do you know who this Letty Malone is, Tom? Much to her surprise, Tom was laughing so heartily that for a few moments he could not answer her. Jean, you certainly have caused yourself much unnecessary wor- i-ying. The good-looking woman who came to his office the other day was you; don ' t you remembei-? The men were just joking with him and I didn ' t say ' Letty Malone ' , but, ' Let him alone ' . — Elhu Arrin THE VALENIAN A FORTUNATE FUMBLE CROSS the campus came floating on the chill November breeze the sound of such a din as is made only by college folk before a great game or after a much-desired victory. Suddenly nine long rahs for Porter were sent echoing across the grounds. His name is Porter, he is the captain of Centerview ' s football team and altogether the most popular young — Aw, shut up, growled that young individual, siding towards his tormentor, a freckle-faced youngster of nineteen, in a threatening manner. Ned Porter was one of the leaders in school life at Centerview, a strongly built, manly fellow, beloved of the higher classmen, adored from a distance by the youngsters. His hoifest, handsome face was always wreathed in smiles, even when defeat stood out defying him. This was his third year on the team and his last in college. Ned turned to the freckle-faced lad. Bart Post, if you do not stop your kidding I shall have to thrash you one of these days. Yes, spoke up the third member of the group, Francis Reynolds, Wren for short. And I shall lend a hand at that ceremony. The speakers were just entering the gym. All three held regular positions on the squad, Ned at quarter, Bart at right end, and Wren at cen- ter. Centerview had gone through the entire schedule without a defeat and now had come the great day of her football year, the game with Mar- tindale. Both teams were quite equal in sti-ength with the exception of right half-back, which was Centerview ' s one weak spot. Oliver Hallett and Buck Hampson had been alternating at right half all season. Buck was a hard, fast worker, nimble of foot and sure, but he never got the breaks of the game and Hallett did. For this reason it seemed that the honor would go to Hallett this afternoon. Ned, who is going to play right half this afternoon? Can ' t tell, Wren, looks like Hallett. But man, he is yellow! He has never shown it in a game, and until he does you should not accuse him, spoke up Bart. But down in his heart each one feared the outcome and secretly hoped that Buck would be in the line-up when the whistle blew. The time was two o ' clock. The gates were thronged yet, and it was a puzzle to the ones in the stands where the newcomers were going to find seats. On the far side a big black and gold flag fluttered briskly in the breeze and beneath it, overflowing fi-om the stand onto the fast yellow- ing gi-ass, were Martindale ' s rooters. From end to end and flooding half- way back again around both East and West stands, the purple of Center- view flapped in the breeze, till that portion of the field looked like a bank of violets. Countless flags swayed and circled evei-ywhere. THE VALENIAN The cheering had begun. Starting at one end of the West stand the yell sped, increasing in volume as it went. From the black and gold an- swering cheers broke out. This was the day of reunion for old friends and friendly enemies. Professors walked somewhat abashed among their pupils, old football players, former captains, stars in rowing, pilots of the nine in olden days, bygone school heroes, all these had come again to live over their college life and to take part in the great battle between the rivals, this time as on- lookers. And then the teams came out! First Martindale and then Center- view. The stands went delirious as their voices swelled to the sky in wild, frantic shouts. Ned, with the ball tucked snugly under one arm, led Cen- terview. Following him came in order, Wren, the two guards, tackles, ends, Elton full-back, Hammond left half and then— then Hallett. The coach had worried all day, many days, ' tis true, over the problem of right half, and had finally sent in Hallett. The two captain.s met in mid-field. A coin flashed in the sunlight. Heads, called Bell, Martindale ' s captain. Tails it is! announced the referee. Ned ground his heel into the earth and pointed the ball, the whistle piped, the new ball soared on its arching flight, and the game was on. Martindale lost the ball, regained it, and had first down on her forty- yard line. Then she started her steam roller. Centerview ' s wings caught most of the hammering, for at center Martindale found it impossible to gain through Wren. Left tackle was a hard proposition but James Conly beside him was weak and not a few gains were made on that side. On the other side Tom Shannon was playing high at tackle; and, although Deck Tree was doing his best to break things up, that wing gave badly before the foe. Elton and Ned saved the day time and again, bringing down the runner after he had flung off the linemen. No tricks were tried — Martin- dale was depending on straight football to win. Down to Centerview ' s twenty-five yards swept the line of battle, slowly, surely. There Centerview held. Down the side line raced her rooters, wav- ing flags and making discordant noises on their horns. Centerview ' s first attempt netted scarcely a yard. Her second, Ned around left end, came to an inglorious end in a five-yard loss. Then Elton dropped back and punted. The fast Martindale captain gathered in the ball, reeled off some ten yards and was downed. Once again that nerve-racking advance began. Two yards through left tackle, a long plunge through center, and then, while the wearied and battered men crawled to their feet, the whistle shrilled and the half was over. Presently the peppery Centerview cheer was ringing across the field. Over the fading white line the two teams arranged themselves. No Eiglitij-lico THE VALENIAN changes had been made in either line-up. Haliett had not been given the ball yet and was playing back, so had not been tested. The greater part of the second half was almost a repetition of the first. Both teams were playing straight football. The ball was first in one ' s territory and then in the other ' s. The fourth quarter started with the ball in Centerview ' s possession on her forty-five-yard line. 2—8 — 9! yelled Ned as he bent over Wren. 2 — 8 — ! The ball was snapped. Haliett darted toward the cen- ter, took the leather at a hand-pass, crushed it against his stomach and bang! A shoulder hit him, and down he went, one yard gained. Second down, eight yards to gain. 2 — 9 — 9 ! 2 — 9 — ! Up ran Haliett, grabbed the ball, but the elusive ova! escaped his hands and rolled behind the line, where Hammond fell on it. Third down, said the referee; thirteen yards to go. 4—7—8! called Ned. 4 — 7 — ! Back sped Elton, up ran Haliett and Hammond. The line blocked hurriedly. A thud was heard as the full-back ' s shoe struck the ball. The Martindale captain was under the ball, waiting grimly. Quickly gathering it to him he set out, a defense hurriedly forming before him. Up the field they raced. Surely no way through that crowded field was possible, yet on he sped, the distance between him and the goal posts rap- idly decreasing. Hammond was thrust aside by a Martindale forward. Ned took two men down with him, and Elton made a desperate effort to get both runner and lone guard. He was shouldered off by the guard and the fleet Martindale captain continued his course on down the field with only Hallet between him and safety. Would Haliett make good? The west stand was watching with bated breath. Haliett bore down on the runner. Three, four yards he ran Bell out of his course. Suddenly the runner turned sharply and made for Hallet, not two yards distant. And then Haliett lost his nerve ; making a quick step to the right he stuck out his hand in a half-hearted attempt to touch the runner. His fist, in- stead of touching Bell, hit the ball, which the Martindale captain was hold- ing before him, and the oval bounded out of his hands, across the grounds. Haliett, quickly realizing what had happened, swooped down on the ball, tucked it under his arm and set out. The Centerview players hasfily gathered around him in formation and he sped on. The stands were wild with exultant excitement. Behind him Haliett could hear the din of shout- ing, before him stretched an almost open field now. Ned and Elton were in front of him and Bart to one side. There was a thud as Bart warded off one of Martindale ' s tackles. Ned took the next and Elton and Haliett raced on with only the opposing full-back between them and victory. The full approached warily, made a pretty tackle, but Elton stepped in and spoilt it. Haliett had an open field. One white lino more and he would be THE VALENIAN there. Martindale ' s full-back had quickly recovered and was rapidly bearing down on the Purple runner, but safety came before he was over- taken. Elton kicked goal as the whistle sounded. Centerview had won, and to her Hallett was a hero; but that individual had hastily repaired to the gym, there to dress and leave before he met any of his teammates. With shamed face and downcast head he met his coach. Next morning there was a vacant place at training table. Hallett had gone home. How he returned next year and made good under diffi- culties must be told at some other time. Suffice to say here, he did go back and made good, and in his senior year was elected captain. — LcRoii Stansell APRIL WINDS Fair blue skies that bend and dip Cup-like above an earth of gold; Low sleepy winds that softly slip Like winged things when shadows fold The glinting sunbeams all away And the fresh grass that bends in play See, among the star-like blossoms how it frolics on the plain. It ' s the one wind we all long for, it may come by night or day, Oh, the wind that blows in Springtime with the welcome scent of rain. There ' s the wind that sweeps the land where frost is ever king. It will bid the pulse to quicken and its kiss is like a sting. But there ' s a wind that whistles softly at the heels of Winter ' s train, ' Tis the wind that blows in Springtime with the welcome scent of rain. — Helen Hansen Eighty- four THE VALENIAN LIFE BUMPS UP ELL, here I am back at school after summer vacation, with hardly a decent dress to wear and my allowance all spent. It happened at the summer cottage. All the girls had pledged themselves to write a love story and to leave boys strictly to themselves. I arrived home broke, as usual. Daddy met me at the station, so I was relieved of borrowing cab fare. Mother coldly kissed me. She and Sis had just purchased large corsages for the Country Club. It really didn ' t seem as if they were very enthusiastic about my coming home. We soon departed for the Lake. Here I discovered a perfectly won- derful boathouse where I could write my love story. It certainly was ideal. Through the front window I could see the debutantes angling for the nice young fellows in duck trousers. You know I ' m too young for serious intentions. On the Fourth of July, well do I remember the date. Sister an- nounced that a wonderful young man was coming for dinner and would I forget talking about being a man-hater or absent myself. Now in reality she is only two years older than I, but I must wear short dresses until she is safely married. She and he were going to the Country Club to a dance after dinner. I decided I would not go to the dinner but that I would go to the dance. I told Mother I would stay with Aunt Alice all night. I fully real- ized that if I ever wanted to grow up I should have to take the initiative. I had been told that a genius was going to be there — someone who writes novels. This was my chance to make the Literary Society, next year. I had cook send dinner up to my room and after Sis and Mother had called the car and departed for the Country Club I went into Sis ' s room. She had just received a perfectly wonderful evening gown with no sleeves and low neck. Now, I must confess I am considered the better look- ing. I tried it on. I did look nice. Just then I heard the car in the drive- way. I soon arrived at the Country Club and hurried up the stairs. Then I met the wonderful man and he asked me to go walking. We walked and walked on the beach and then on the pier. We were so absorbed we walked right off. That explains why 1 am in disgrace. I made a mistake and took my sistei- ' s only chance. But we ai-e perfectly happy. — Olirc Dolson. Eight!!- fir THE VALENIAN SENIOR VAUDEVILLE Contrary to the usual bake sale or benefit show for producing more money for the Valenian, the senior class of this year gave a high-class vaudeville show at the Opera House. Manager Franklin Rigg, after much effort secured four men of fame, Morony, Wilson, Nixon and Fab- ing, who entertained the audience with their exceptional musical ability. Marimon, Sanford, H. Rigg and Dowdell rendered several vocal selec- tions. One of the main features of the evening was the novelty dancing of two stars from Chicago (friends of the manager). Messrs. Fabing, Wright, and McMillen, the n oted comedians, caused screams of laughter by their witticisms. The solos of Gretchen Marquart were greeted with great applause. Miss Mildred McCord starred in a clever little comedy, Miss Civilization, with an all-star cast consisting of Messrs. Corboy, Hiltpold, Huffman, Stansell, and Sievers. Although three-fourths of the high school had the flu or the mumps, the house was well filled; and the entertainment was very suc- cessful in a financial wav. i THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN THE SENIOR PLAY ]HE Fifteenth of January will long be remembered by members of the V. H. S. because of its splendid success. It was a diffi- cult play to stage by reason of its numerous love scenes and serious qualities ; but nevertheless it carried off the honors. The scenes are laid in a typical Westei-n town. The story revolves about three college love affairs. The happiness of Doris Meredith and Lieutenant Jack Wilson is nearly ruined by the wiles of an adventur- ous Italian Count. Barbara, through her sisterly devotion to Billy, proves herself willing to sacrifice her future happiness in order to help her brother; but after many difficulties Ted Allen wins her. Dick Sherman disguises as a deaf and dumb man in order to attend Ruth Thurston, whose father forbids her mingling with the students. However, the inevitable happens and they, too, fall in love. Each person in the cast seemed particularly well adapted to his part. Mildred McCord and John Fabing as Doris Meredith and Lieutenant Wilson proved their ability in leading parts. The brother and sister, Enoch Huffman and Mary Jesse, were splendid. Ellen Arvin and Jesse Wright as Ruth and Dick could not have been better. Margery Chaffee, Olive Dolson, Opal Williams and Earl McMillen in their character parts were ideal, as were Harry Rigg, Arthur Cloud and Lowell Dowdell as pro- fessors. The part of Maggie Mahoney, the Burtons ' Irish maid, was clev- erly played by Esther Hughart. Viola Specht as a conscientious Freshman, Carrie Mae Sergeant as Dolly, a favorite friend of Chuck ' s (Lewis Fenton) , Richard Leetz as Tom, a Sophomore, and Hazel Butler as Mrs. Meredith did exceptionally well. The success of the play is due to Mrs. Boucher ' s remarkable coach- ing; and the Senior Class is greatly indebted to her for her faithful and sincere services. THE VALENIAN BSi r- M ' M M - Our fifst social function was in the form of a get-together party at the school house. Everyone, including the members of the faculty, dismissed all school formalities and enjoyed himself playing various games. Much enthusiasm was displayed in the different contests, especially in the spelling game in which Mr. Jessee and Mr. Pauley were opponents. We quieted down for about half an hour to eat; and then, after dance programs were presented to each one, spent the remainder of the even- ing dancing. THE VALENIAN GEORCxE WASHINGTON PARTY pN ORDER to alleviate the strain of monotonous school work, J ' Dor, Olive, Carrie Mae, Art, and Margery kindly came to the . g),| rescue of the senior class by giving a delightful party at the l jel j latter ' s home. The members of the class and faculty evidently anticipated a good time for they were present ad unum. The novelty games were quite a source of amusement — especially the yes and no game, which really required ingenuity and trickery — not to men- tion cheating. We found, too, that playing school wasn ' t so bad when you had animal crackers to eat and gum to chew. During the evening punch was served, and Hippy could invariably be found near the punch bowl. The stunts that Lowell and Soup and Lewis and Hippy tried to per- form were certainly rare. Oh, yes! Lois and Ellen did their share too! After most delicious refreshments were served, we took up the rugs and danced the rest of the evening. We were certainly convinced that ours were charming and competent hostesses (and host). The Valenian must go to press May 1st ; and as the writer has not the gift of prophecy she can only anticipate the good times the class will have at the Junior-Senior Prom, Senior Weenie-Roast, the Junior Picnic, Alumni Banquet, and High School Reception.

If Pauley and Aldinger, you add to the crew. The old ship of Knowledge will surely plow thru. Still water flows deep, so the old adage runs. We ' re speaking in earnest and not making puns. Dorothy Schernau, Helen Hansen and Loleta Leave their calm to the school as a worthy memento. The spirit of frankness in Dor which we find. That saying her piece and speaking her mind.

Ni,uty-fo,n THE VALENIAN Tho some folks want age as a classic or mystery To Minnie Newness is just current history. Some things are better for being well seasoned There ' s tubers, and beans and lumber, we ' ve reasoned. Dick Leetz has been with us since the year one, So surely by this time his age is well done. ' Tis a quality worth saving and salting away. This age got from Primer to Commencement Day. In the old Valpo High School may Mabel preserve it. And a museum start to properly conserve it. Olive Dolson a walk of decision has borne, Thru her High School course it has flourished and grown And now that the end of her need can be seen. The whole of the thing goes to Miss Eva Keene. ' Tis not a passing fancy, tho Passow be the name. That Thelma is coquettish by nature and by fame. Her power to cause the boys at her feet to bow. We will to Fat McWhinney who has a good start now. If up to the great judgment bar she were led To list to her fate with the quick and the dead. While reciting to Gabriel the things that she ' d done, She ' d giggle and giggle, would Hazel Johnson. This power to be happy in a trying position Be it in Heaven or English VIII recitation, Our class as a unit doth gladly bestow On one of the Juniors, Susan DeVroe.

SCHENCK Valparaiso High School has had several coaches, all of whom have been good ; but none can compare with our present coach, formerly a mem ber of the Lebanon and State Normal teams. Mr. Schenck developed a team this year which made a record in games won out of the number played not equalled by that of any other team in the state. He, however, is not only a basketball coach, but a man who has had experience in all phases of athletics. This he has demonstrated by producing a basebali team which compares more than favorably with the best high school teams in this section. Mr. Schenck is full of pep and seems to instill this spirit into all those who work with him. He also believes in starting things, an- other feature which we like in him ; in fact his good qualities are so many that space will not permit the enumerating of them all. Ralph Schenck MR. JESSEE Ml-. Jessee has been a loyal supporter of all athletics this year. Last fall when it looked as though we would be without a gym to start our basketball season, it was he who finally secured for us the University Gym. Besides his loyal attendance at all the games, he did his best to carry out the desires of the team and the student body whenever it was possible. His final achievement was securing for Valpo High the ad- vantage of playing the Sectional Tourney on their own flooi-. The success of this tourney aided greatly in filling the Athletic Association ' s treasury. Mr. Jessee, we thank you for your efforts. THE VALENIAN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President, Lowell Dowdeli. Vice-President — Jesse Wright. Secretary and Treasurer, Arthur Cloud. Manager, H. M. Jessee. ]T THIS writing the V. H. S. A. A. has just completed one of the most successful years that the organization has enjoyed since its inception four years ago. Much credit for the success of the season through which we have just passed is due our man- ager, Mr. Jessee. It was by his untiring effort that the tour- nament was secured for Valparaiso. It was also under his direction that this large undertaking was carried on in a very efficient and able manner. Too much praise can not be given Mr. Jessee for the voluntary but extra work which he has done for the benefit of the school. Mr. Boucher and Mr. Pauley have been strong boosters, as have all the faculty. The association started the year with 232 members. At Christmas time this number was increased by twenty-eight, making a total of 260 members, or almost the entire high school body. A fine spirit has been displayed throughout the year, everyone being willing to do his bit when called upon for some special task. This willing spirit on the part of all aided materially in making every project of the year a success. The association cleared sufficient money on the Sectional Basket- ball Tournament to enable it to purchase equipment necessary for baseball and other spring athletics. Sweaters will also be purchased for the gradu- ating members of the basketball team. With our present pep and spirit and a gym of our own, we feel con- fident that Valparaiso would far out-class, in athletics, any school in northern Indiana. It is our hope that the former may never die out, and that the latter niav soon be realized. Committees Finance: — Clair Maxwell, Phyllis Stinchfield, Gillet Bowman.

Auditing:— Mr. Boucher, Emily Marine, Kathryn Fox. i THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN WALTER HILTPOLD, Capt. Our Captain. To say the most about him would not be saying too much. Thus we feel it necessary to refrain from an extended lingu- istic expression of his exceptional athletic attributes, but suffice it to re- mark he was Our Captain of the 1919-20 basketball team, and may we meekly add that there never was a better Captain and good all-round fellow than Captain Hiltpold. As pei- usual for a leader, he was the braini- est player on Valpo ' s basket heaving aggregation, and he heaved more points through the little iron ring than any athlete or ex-athlete of V. H. S. has ever heaved. His meteoric reverse turns had his opponents calculat- ing the speed with which a player could be transformed from a perpendicu- lar position to a horizontal one, and his mighty south-paw pushed a basket- ball with such terrific force that it was often a dii ' o peril for his own team- mates to intercept the projectile. All in all, we ' ll place oui ' best bet on Big Hippy when he goes away to college. We do not anticipate, but we can assui-e you that Walter will, in time, lank with the supermen in college athletics. He is, without doubt, tlie best all-idund athlete that Valpo has ever had. I,ini,lr,,l lln; THE VALENIAN WERNER HILTPOLD The speed king of the Valpo quintet was the man of the hour on many occasions when Valpo ' s victorious emblem was approaching a slump. Young Hippy was directly responsible for many of the victories credited to the Green and White basket tossers, and his unerring eye for the goal was the envy of his opponents. He was one of the most feared players in the circuit on account of his deadly accuracy at finding the iron ring from a long distance, and his almost weird ability at dribbling the oval was a feature of every game. Werner leaves us this year. He has teamed it with his big brother for three of the four years he has been in High School and gradually out- shaded the stalwart Captain in field goal accuracy. He counted in every game he played during the season and his offensive style of playing was a source of comment in all surrounding cities. The High School will lose a snappy athlete when Young Hippy leaves, and he will be one of the strongest links missed on the team next year. One liuvdred four THE VALENIAN EARL SCOTT, Captain-Elect We characterize him as a belligerent atom, of the masculine fight- ing qualities, of the athletic universe. Please, do not misunderstand us. There never was a harder team worker than Scotty and there never was a more honorable player than our next year ' s Captain. His fortitude and endurance were limitless, and let us emphasize, there was no waver in his terrific attacks against all opposing teams. Earl was not only a terror to all opponents, but the fans of the opposition would audibly lament and bewail the driving tactics that the grand defensive bulwark of Valpo ' s Fighting Five used. He could play any position on the team with equal ferocity, and if ever a player had the never-say-die spirit it was Captain Scott of Valpo ' s coming quintet. Earl will be a Junior next year and the zealous fans will get to see the Valpo marvel defend the Green and White for two moi-e years. We voice our approval in his election as pilot for next year ' s team and we can but prophesy that Scott ' s brilliance as an athlete the past year will pale before what we are expecting of him next year. (hir hinidn ' fl tr,- THE VALENIAN CHARLES COYER Can he play basketball? Well, can a hen lay an omelette? And can that lad eat? Wow! What a diminution in the coach ' s financial ac- count when that boy ' s appetite had to be satiated ! But say, when a player got past Chuck they would generally have preferred to go through Dante ' s infernal regions rather than to take such a chance a second time. Fain would we call Coyer the Optimist, and we do not wish to men- tion it, but his confidence in his own prowess was an unmistakable asset. But, Chuck , we like you because you really are a good player (of course, ancient history to you,) and a good fellow as well. Coyer is a Sophomore this year and he has made an enviable record for himself his initial year on the team. His one hobby was hitting the tai-get from long range, and his accuracy in tickling the draperies from the enemy ' s frontier was the sensation of the season. He made one basket from this locality but it caused the opposing team to suffer such a stroke of basket bawling paralysis that there has been more verbal rhetoric spilled about that one basket than a centipede can boast of feet. One hinulred s ..- THE VALENIAN JOHN FABING If this youth is a woman-liatei-, Solomon was a bachelor. On every basketball trip he departed as immac-ulate as the most fastidious dandy, and with the firm determination to make a stupendous impression on the fair fans of the opposing team. True it was that Valpo ' s shifty center suc- ceeded in his initial year at the pivotal position, for he was credited with caging more field goals than any player on the team. John will be awarded the coveted diploma this spring, and in addi- tion to his basket tossing ability he has always been regarded as a student above mediocrity. Loyal, indeed, has he been to the athletic colors of V. H. S. and has always been a booster in any phase of student activities. Thus, we will miss him next year in more ways than one. His fascinating smile will probably infatuate some fair co-ed of a University, and his mental ability as well as his physical aptitude will reflect credit on the criterion of scholarship of Valpo High School. ()„, l,inidr -(l s-rrc THE VALENIAN LE ROY STANSELL We have with us. More tlian tliat, he had more Hfe and fighting quahties than the fiery steed of Alexander the Great. The fleetest of the flock was he, and the fastest on the floor. Watch out for Number 6 was a byword of the opposing fans before the game started, and old number six needed a watch when he got his chance on the floor. The way he hurled his 130 pounds avoirdupois against big Dunleavy was a — well, a social misdemeanor , but Stans couldn ' t resist. He was just one hard sinew of nerve and yet the way he used his head in a game was beyond criticism. Stansell was practically a regular all year. He, too, has played his last year in High School athletics. A speedier lad never donned a basket- ball uniform in northern Indiana. When he got his chance in a game you could always be assured that thei ' e would be something doing, and his demon attacks, co-ordinating with his speed, made many an opponent long for the final whistle. One hundred eight THE VALENIAN CARROLL SIEVERS A youth of few words but many tlioughts. Carroll has been the most willing worker on the squad and was always ready to supply at any time and at any position. He has played in all different positions and went into the game with a zeal that was instrumental in making him the able substitute that he was. His athletic ability made the regulars work hard to hold their respective positions, and Coach Schenck was high in his praise for the husky substitute. He got into practically all the games dur- ing the season and could always be depended upon to count a few points for Valpo. It is too bad for the future of athletics that Sievers graduates this year. The big boy has been acting as substitute for the last two years, but he has been doing so with a loyalty that brought expressions of admii-ation fi-om the backers of the team. 0 u- huiHlrcd ),! THE VALENIAN ARTHUR MAINS Our one athlete who lavished his affections on the one lady. And how he did regret taking every Thursday night for sleep in preparation for the game the following night. Now, that was a supreme sacrifice, but we give him credit for being on duty at all times and showing he had the stuff when he was called upon to take the place of one of the regulars. Mains is a Junior this year and we are pinning our faith to him for next year. He has been a hard worker all season and was a firm believer in the fact that training and practice count. His ability as an able sub- stitute was unquestionable. His enthusiasm as an ardent participant in the game made him a valuable asset to Valpo ' s fighting basket heavers. His weight was his greatest handicap but it never hindered his intentions of playing on even terms with an opponent. Iiuiidnd ten THE VALENIAN Opponents 1 ! Walter B F P H.

Commendable expressions of gratitude for the treatment and accommodations received, was a character- istic remark of all visiting coaches, paid to the managing de- partment of Valparaiso. Professors Jessee and Pauley and all their sub- ordinates put forth unstinted effort in their impartial endeavors to show the visitors that it was the intention of Valparaiso to give them the best treatment possible, and too much praise cannot be extended to these man- agers for the difficult task which they overcame with such good success. Sixteen teams were represented, including Kentland, Goodland, North Judson, Crown Point, Lowell, Whiting, Brook, Hammond, Froebel, Valparaiso, Fair Oaks, Wheeler, East Chicago, and Emerson. The big University Gymnasium was strained to its utmost capacity in trying to accommodate the largest crowd that ever attended a game there. Enthu- siastic rooting and good sportsmanship was a feature of the fans with every team represented. To the surprise of all, Valpo went down to defeat in their third game before the Emerson five, the winners of the finals. The Green and White aggregation had defeated the Steel City lads early in the season on the same floor, but the Gary veterans, accustomed to playing under any conditions, were too much for the nervous attack that old man Jinx seemed to inflict upon the Valpo thin-clads. Whiting, whom Valpo had defeated twice during the season, suffered a defeat in the clutches of the Emerson tossers in the final game. Brook will probably be rated as the dark horse of the series for giving such a drubbing to Hammond and holding Whiting to such a close score. Froebel and North Judson also showed up well, while East Chicago, s upposed to be one of the leading contenders, was given a crushing defeat by the victorious Emerson quintet. Valpo rolled up the highest score of any team in any one game, counting forty-four points against Wheeler. Emerson ranked second with thirty-six. The closest game was the contest between North Judson and Kentland, in which the former emerged victorious in an over-time battle by a count of 19 to 18. Several coaches as well as other individuals made public selections of the all-sectional teams. Practically every coach gave Scott, the Valpo demon, a place on the mythical sectional quintet. One coach chose Fabing, the Green and White center, for a guard position. The local University coach gave Captain Hiltpold a forward position. The Whiting coach told Coach Schenck personally that the pilot of the Valpo basket tossers was the best all-round individual player in the tournament. Coach Schenck made a close survey of all the individual players of the tourney and con- sulted with some of the athletic leaders and selected a mythical five. Big 0)ie hiDidnd fiHirh ' fii THE VALENIAN Dunleavy of Gary was the whole Emerson team. Every play revolved around the gigantic center and to his credit alone was given the honor of winning the tournament for Emerson, consequently he was the only man from the Steel City that was given a place in the all-star cast. The fol- lowing is Coach Schenck ' s selection : Forwards, Kekick of Whiting, Walter Hiltpold of Valpo; Center, Dunleavy of Gary; Guards, Scott of Valpo, and Benson of Whiting.

THE VALENIAN INTER-CLASS MEETS Basketball The Seniors proved their superior ability in the inter-class basket- ball tournament this year. Their captain, Walter Hiltpold, was presented with a very beautiful banner, by Coach Schenck, in behalf of his team. Football The Seniors with the assistance of Freshmen took the team repre- senting the Sophomore and Junior Class down the green lane in the one and only football contest that was staged this year. Baseball For the first time in four years the Green and White has been repre- sented by a baseball team. An inter-class baseball tourney is being staged and the winning class will be presented with a large shield. It is largely due to the efforts of Coach Schenck that something has been accomplished along this line. One game only has been played up to this date. This was with the Froebel School of Gary and ended with a score of 10 to 1 in the locals ' favor. Negotiations are being carried on with other nearby schools in hopes that other teams may be found who would like to stack up arms against our valiant warriors. Track Our coach will not be satisfied until the Valparaiso High School is represented in every phase of athletics. To realize this ambition it was necessary to form a track team. This, he, with the assistance of Professor Pauley, is doing. An inter-class meet will be staged. The class winning will receive a large banner of the school colors. The inter-class meet will also assist Coach Schenck in selecting the team which will represent the school at a sectional meet at La Porte on May 1.5th. —Lowell Dowdell, Athletic Editor 0,ir Iniiidrcd THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN THE VALENIAN FOREWORD Dear Patroiis: Upon being appointed to produce a Joke Department for the Valenian, I was at a great loss, because I knew not where to find material; but after a few days of close observations I wondered why we mortals slaughtered elephants in Africa, with such a large supply of ivoiy at home.

Ont ' huiidri ' d twt ' iity-one THE VALENIAN A FRIEND OF DOGS R. JOSEPH BARRETT had enlisted; he was no coward, even if he had a fatal, haunting fear of dogs. Now he, with many other recruits, was nearing the training camps, anxious to display his valor. The train stopped ; he had reached his destination ; but so had a fierce-looking bulldog, who was now lustily gi-eeting the soldiers and in return receiving their friendly pats. Private Barrett presented a brave front, chose a moment when the dog ' s head was turned away, patted him hastily, stepped on a woman ' s foot, and shakingly escaped in the crowd. He followed the other men down the long streets, bravely conceal- ing any inward misgivings at the frequent barks along the way, until they reached the office where they were to register. But, alas! the captain ' s Scotch collie was racing about dangerously near, so he decided to walk on a short distance while waiting his turn. But he had gone a long distance, trying to calm his trembling knees, when he stopped, lost. He glanced in front of him; there he saw a small theatre and the glaring sign, Uncle Tom ' s Cabin, Six Blood Hounds. Even as he stood, stunned, out rushed a bloodhound from the back entrance. This was too much. Losing all control of himself, he started to run ; and the bloodhound started to run. Someone called, Where is the fire ' ? and others joined the race, the heroic private always in the lead and the bloodhound close behind. Then they turned a corner and saw — the fii-e. The new hotel was all in flames, water was streaming down its sides, ladders were extended to the windows. All was in confusion ; men, boys, cars, and dogs sur- rounded the burning building. The people had all been saved and the fire- men were about to give up hope, when a pitiful white poodle, adorned with a pink bow, thrust its head out the fourth stoiy window. A woman screamed, Save my dog! The firemen proclaimed it impossible; and the police pushed the people back from the sight. But now Private Barrett, attended by the faithful and persevering bloodhound, entered the throng. Thinking only of evading the dog and nearly at the end of his strength, he pushed his way to the front, and so did the dog. Before anyone could stop him, he was in the open space and run- ning towards the building. The crowd cheered, the bloodhound was ap- proaching. Seizing a ladder, he mounted it, higher and higher, when there he was, face to face with the poodle. But it was no longer looking, being almost overcome by smoke. Encouraged by this the hero of the occa- sion seized the dog, and descended the ladder. But when he saw once more the bloodhound he fainted into the arms of the fireman, from smoke everyone thought. From then on he was the hero of the camp and of the town. Praise and glory were the lot of Private Joseph Barrett. — Jeunnette Finney. One hundred tivent) -tivo THE VALENIAN Out after hours again, hey? said Mr. Hauff. Only ten minutes late, replied George. Well, go at once to your room, sir, lock yourself in, and bring me the key. This thoughtlessness must be checked. Another Boston hold-up, remarked Lewis Fenton as he adjusted his garter. Mrs. McWhinney: Wilma, who was here last night? Fat : Why, only Autumn, mother. Mi-s. Mc: You tell Autumn that she left her pipe on the piano. Beware of the girl who is a peach . Every peach has a heart of stone. Mr. Pauley: Is there any connecting link between the animal and vegetable kingdoms? Leonard Spooner: Sure, there ' s hash. Wave of laughter sweeps over French class. Helen, who is reciting: What ' s the joke? Mis Ashton: Oh, continue, it is just Lois. NUTTY VERSE ' Twas a dark and stormy night, And the sun was shining bright; The young man ' s lips were sealed. But he cried with all his might — Shoot and kill me if you will, So the villain shot and killed him; But he did it with a knife. A fair young maid came down the path. Her form was bent with years, Her face was full of gladness, And her eyes were full of tears, She recognized the dying man, And cried aloud, Who is he? He lifted his unconscious form. And said, By gosh, it ' s Lizzy. Mac: What ' s that bump on your forehead ? Steve: Oh, that ' s where a thought struck me. — o — Mr. Pauley: We shall spend the rest of the period on our maps. Voice from lear of room: I forgot my powder puff. — o — Phil S.: Oh, Earl! They don ' t dance a bit in Westville like they do here. The girl puts her arm clear around the boy. Mac: Gee, that ' s a fine start. Go on. But I think I could understand better if you gave me a demonstration. Harold C: Hello, old boy. How do you feel ? Enoch: I swallowed a dime. Can you see any change in me? After fumbling around with his night key for an hour, Tom exclaimed: Some one has stolen the key-hole. Ml-. Pauley, in Phy.: Has the abso- lute zero been discovered yet? Hippy: Yes, sir. Mr. P.: Where? I never heard of it. Hippy (sadly): On my card. ' ' — o — Miss Ashton in Fi-eshmen Eng.: What does furlough mean? Chas. P.: Furlough means donkey. Miss Ashton: What makes you think that? Chas. P.: ' Cause I saw a picture of a soldier riding a donkey, and just be- low it, it said, ' Going home on his fur- lough. I shot a sparrow in the air. It fell to earth, I knew not where; But judging from this quail on toast. Here is my spariow or his ghost. — o — Heap big lot of rats. And a great big pufT, Make a little hair Look like just enough. THE VALENIAN CHARACTER SKETCHES WHO IS IT? Green suit and flannel shirt, Always throwing things that hurt; Light hair and red cheek, Always stepping on Connie ' s feet. Short and hefty, Better known as Lefty ; Saw him at Athletic Eat, I think with Miss Neet. Who are the Artists? They say artists are Fond of Art . Light in hair and light in head, Because she goes with her Big Fred . Maxwell, Overland, Studebaker, Dort. Can you guess A gal of this sort? A street car ride and a walk. All for a nice little talk. And he ' d sell ice cieam and Coca-Cola Just to be with his Viola. He ' s long and he ' s tall. And for him all girls fall; He does neither dance nor jigg, And his name is Harry Rigg. A bottle, A derby, Red hair. And nervy. — o — He ' s large and burly; His hair parts in the middle and curly. If asked if in love, His answer is surly. Miss Benney: Now this poem is found in that book in the library. Mac: Stretching, and was caught in the act. Miss Benney: What is it. Earl? Mac: Where can we find this poem ? Miss M.: What was the cause of the flood at Dayton? Dick: Water. — o — Miss Higbee: Russell, which is fast- er, Allegro or Allegreto? Russ. Nixon: I don ' t know. I was never out with either one ? Jeanette (translating in French): could not love a fool. Ellen: I do. Miss Sieb: What is the difference between to behold anvl to see? Doris Hodges: The spelling. Fat Dowdell appears at the Fair Grounds wearing a pair of football pants about six sizes too small. Schenck: How ' d yuh squeeze into those pants. Fat? Fat : With a shoe horn. A LA BURNS— TO A LOUSE (On examining a small chick and dis- covering the cause of the recent death of a whole brood, May 10, 1920.) Wee, slikit, brownie, tim ' rous beastie, Ah why bite my little chickie ? Thou need ' st na kill them a ' for me. An ' leave me none; I wad be laith to try an ' kill thee, Wi ' the ole man ' s gun. Mr. Pauley (to Jeannette Finney) : You are a fish, at what angle would you have to look to see the sun? — o — Ivan Cole in typewriting: Darn ' t, I wish that girl over there would look at Mrs. Boucher, in complimenting Hazel B. on her acting in the Senior Play, said quite seriously: You will make an ad- mirable old lady. Hazel, the part just fits you. IN COMMERCIAL LAW Jess: I know a mortgage that is my wife ' s name. Mac: Is there an opening here for a bright young man? Prop.: Yes; close it as you go out. One hundred twenty-four u THE VALENIAN A preacher addressing his flock one Sunday made the announcement that his next Sunday ' s sermon would be on Liai-s, and he requested all to read carefully the seventeenth chapter of St. Mark. The following Sunday, before starting to speak, he asked all who had read the seventeenth chapter to raise their hands, and a flock of hands went in the air. Fine, said he; it ' s you fellows I want to talk to, as there is no seven- teenth chapter of St. Mark. Good, absent-minded Dr. Wilder was greatly dependent upon his practical wife. One morning Mrs. Wilder sent up an announcement after he had entered the pulpit with a foot note intended to be private. The Woman ' s Missionary Society, he read aloud, will meet Wednesday afternoon at three o ' clock sharp. Your necktie is crooked; please straighten toward the right. Bones, walking nervously down the aisle in the middle of the period: Oh, girls! I ' ve been kicked out of class. I don ' t know where I ' ll land next. On attempting to sit down, she landed on the floor. (No wonder she didn ' t know — one never does before anything like that.) BITS OF PHILOSOPHY To flunk is human; to pass divine. An ounce of study is worth a pound of excuses. No matter how hungry a horse is he can ' t eat a bit. A good way to find a girl out is to call when she isn ' t in. ' Tis better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall. It ' s a wise Freshman who knows his own theme after it has been corrected. Women ' s faults are many. But men have only two — Everything they say, and Everything they do. They say love makes the world go rou And it may never cease. Quite true, but remember, please, that Money ' s the axle grease. The only trouble with overalls is tl they slip off ' silk shirts. nd. If Autur sell? paints, does LeRoy Stan- MATING TIME When the springtime comes, And the birds return From the far-away southern skies, Then the young man yearns For the girl he loves, For it ' s mating time again. When skies are blue With a springtime light And warmth is in the air; When the robin calls From its low hung nest Then it ' s mating time for you. -Enoch Huffman.
