Secretary-Treasurer We had outgrown the arrogance of the Sophomore and had not yet taken on the dignity and cares of the Senior. Very carefully we made our selection of olhcers, we had the two greatest events of our high school career to look forward to-the Junior and Senior Promenade and the picnic. The prom was held at the Elk's Temple, and was a whirling suc- cess. Black-Hawk Beach was the setting for the picnic which was fully as successful as the prom. We screamed with joy at basketball games and baseball games. But with a sudden seriousness we realized that this was our last year in the old Valparaiso High School building, next year was to bring us a new high school. Perhaps there was even a little regret in our hearts, for the old high school held many cherished memories. ZZ

Ulrg Halznxan K l FRESHMAN YEAR Freshman Year-what a mix-up those iirst weeks were! Girls and boys hunting for room eight, for the reference room, yells and screams from one side of the building to the other. ln a fog we worked patiently, struggling through the first year, and by the end of the semester we felt more like a class and could smile at Seniors, that excellent class, when they appeared in caps and gowns. SOPHOMORE YEAR CLAss OFF1cERs Maurice Lowenstine . .... . . President Kenneth Shurr . . . Vice-President Edythe Kulp .......... Secretary-Treasurer We began our Sophomore Year merrily, entering most enthusiastically, into school and class activities. Our picnic, the result of much planning and hard work, we considered our greatest achievement. Inter-class basket- ball occupied much of our time and interest. We were very arrogant and felt very happy that we were almost upper-classmen. We took the 1925 class with unconcern and looked forward happily to September. Zl

Secretary-Treasurer Any regrets which we might have had at leaying the old high school were entirely obscured by our delight with the new high school. Eyery school convenience was ours. lt was better than we had even hoped it would be. Besides there was the new gymnasium. With the greatest oi' pride the Seniors participated in its dedication. lt was fun selling hot dogs and candy at the basketball games. How proudly we supported the Bounding Brownies! With the aid of our supervisor the class prepared and gave very well a senior circus in the gymnasium on the Tuesday follow- ing Christmas. Senior Prom passed in all the glory of May, and we faced graduation. We had realized gradually that we were almost through and took to earnest studying, earnest friendships, and an earnest consideration of the cloudy future ahead of us. Valparaiso High School has giyen us learning, friends, and a certain spirit, undefinable, passed down to us by the former graduates, to be handed down by us to the future graduating classes, and taken out into the world with us. 23
