At the time of the composition and si gning of this, our last will and testa- ment, we are blessed with normally good health and intelli- gence. Said will has been drawn up with careful consideration for the needs of each beneficiary named herein. Thus we bequeath : 1. Our loyal class spirit, our high average of intelligence, and our ability to gain the esteem of instructors to the oncoming class of seniors. 2. Jerry Beach ' s sax to young Ezrie Snell Beach. Now the la- tent talent will burst forth. (Though heaven help the neighbors!) 3. The knowledge of current events in Valpo, that Ray Nichols and Billy Philley possess, to our beloved faculty. 4. Emile Prince ' s immunity to feminine glances to the amorous Goop Bright. 5. The driving ability of Violette Richards, Marion Filgiano, and Helen Rathjen to Marion Anderson, so that the lives of our pedestrians may be preserved. 6. The laurel-winning attributes of Kate Stinchfield and Lloyd Ed- inger to the worthy Abe Black, who never wins anything, not even candy on a punch board. 7. The Bosse twins ' mutual opinion of little Eddie Bosse to the members of the basketball team to serve as an incentive in their battles. 8. Butler Lindall ' s attraction for the girls to Howdy Goetz, because nobody loves a fat man. 9.

Johnny Wise ' s winning smile to Charles Ault, who hasn ' t smiled once since the first week of school. 11. Gerald Brown ' s luxuriant hair to the unfortunate Charlie Rickard. 12. The singing ability of Estella Wyman and Verneeta Hock to Joe Urschel, in view of the fact that poor Joe ' s only accomplishment seems to be the gentle one of ear-wriggling. 13. Elizabeth Fyfe ' s captivating ways to Sleepy Bond. Now, Sleepy, get to work and capture a few good grades. 14. Ruth Glover ' s crowning glory of golden hair to the fiery headed Rolland Burkhard and her sweet disposition, too, for Burkie is tempera- mental we heai ' . 15. Bill Allerton ' s self-approval to Hank Waldorph. 16. Lois Higlcy ' s quiet charm to Anna Mae Steward. 17. Loreine Thatcher ' s self-effacing ways to Chrystabel Hobbs; may- be we had better add Musa Walker ' s silence, too. P(igc Twenty-eight WAIKNIAN 18.

The height of Charles Lannin, Bennet Bauer, and Doc Williams to all brief editions of the junior class. 20. Alice Frakes ' cheerful outlook on life to all freshmen who are beginning to weaken. 21. Eugene DeGrazia ' s ability to slaughter good grades in English to Eileen Sievers. 22. Leland Frailey ' s nerve to all bashful underclassmen. 23.

Mary Alice Gregory ' s reserve to Jim Hildreth. 25. Emma Raelson ' s fidelity to one boy friend to Evelyn Hammers- ley. 26. Homer Gray ' s ability to slug slot machines to the ambitious Vic- tor Tilton. 27. The mischief-making tendencies of Jack Miller, Bill Skinner, and Russell Shinabarger, to Virginia Burns. 28. Maurine Sisson ' s curly hair to Maxine Martin. Also, George Black ' s reddish curls to Johnny Steiner, whose hair shows a woeful need of a reforming influence. 29. Jean Boyer ' s wizard-like aptitude of misunderstanding all in- structions to the competent Tresa Justice. 30. Ted LeCompte ' s celerity on the basketball floor to slow-mo- tion Lempster. 31. The dignity of Floyd Field and Gerald Dickson to young Vernon Forney, with the hope that he will settle down to school life more willingly. 82. The good grades of Irmadell Johnson, Ruth Darst, and Edith Gast to Dizzy Beyer. 33. Lydia Sands ' knowledge of civics to Franklin Mead, the source of all of Miss Weatherwax ' s trials and tribulations. 34. Harry Wark ' s aloofness to Maynard Ealing, and Myron Smith ' s power of keeping silent to Steve Deckro. 35. Lenore Snow ' s brown eyes and Alice Nelson ' s raven tresses to any blonde who wishes to dye, and Linnea Zinn ' s long, blonde hair to any brunette who believes that gentlemen prefer blondes. 36. The school-day-long sleepiness of Harlin Leetz and Melv Stinchfield to Walt Jones and George Miller, for naught else will silence them. 37.

Now Miss Hudson won ' t have to lecture any more on that subject. 41. Herb Deer ' s good looks to any youth who wishes to be some girl ' s big moment. 42. Don Marshall ' s dark eyes to Gabby Pulver. Somehow we have always yearned to see Gabby with black eyes. 43. Bob Ritz ' s contempt for good grades to Phyllis Bailey. 44. Hershel Seymour ' s tennis-playing ability to Bennie Schenck. 45. Arthur Erickson ' s neat locker to the hapless Arthur Raelson, whose books have a disconcerting little trick of bounding off of his head whenever he opens his locker. 46. Sigman Derman ' s quiet application to his work during library periods to Bob Lytle. 47. Clarence Henderlong ' s loyal support of the Democratic party to a few ardent Republicans, thus to relieve the monotony of school. 48. Dorothy Palmer ' s store of general knowledge to those struggling Sophs., who are always undergoing some phase of the Iliad and who still think the thing is written in Greek. 49. Marian DeWitt ' s ability to withstand frigid weather to Marjorie Sheley, who considers our heating plant a myth. 50. Avis Strong ' s proficiency in shorthand to Mary Jane Harris, who is forever bewailing the day when she entered that class. 51. Crystal Danielson ' s big, brown freckles to Virginia Moreland. 52. Dear little Cheub Christy ' s unparalleled collection of pencil stubs to any other connoisseur of such things. 53. Irl Miskimins ' manly stride to Tom Daly, whose walk is hardly to be identified as such. 54. Kenneth Mosher ' s athletic build to rather corpulent Tom Lytle. Really, Tom, something must be done to preserve our gym-furnishings. 55. Herb Hinkle ' s determination to graduate to Rex Groves, who quits school on an average of twice a term. 56. Alice Schellinger ' s admirable patience to the long suffering Char- lotte Glover to help her find the good in typing. We hereby appoint Miss Vera L. Sieb as executrix of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Seniors of 1929, have here- unto subscribed our signature and affixed our seal on this 27th day of May in the year of our Lord, 1929. — The Seniors of 1929. Witnesses : C. 0. Pauley C. W. Boucher Crystal Danielson. Par e Thirl] PROPHECY T was a warm summer day, one of those days during which we all have a desire to escape from our work, to get out some place away from the crowd and to admire the beauties of na- ture. The skies were a brilliant blue with downy white clouds scattered here and there. The boy, or rather the young man, for he had graduated with the class of ' 29, was trudging through the sands on the shore of Lake Michigan. As he walked, he was pondering about the future. Absently he watched the ships creep up in the distance on the rippling surface of the lake ; he saw gulls sailing lazily around, seem- ing to float gracefully without ever moving their wings; he saw small crabs and fish scuttling rapidly about in the shallows ; to one side of him loomed the dunes, stolid and majestic, and admiring their quiet beauty, he started toward them. Straight to Mount Tom he walked, and then sweating, puffing, laboring through the soft sand he reached the top of the dune. Old Mount Tom, so huge, so majestic and yet so weak, for the huge dune, built up of shifting sands, is slowly being brought lower and lower by the winds. Standing on the highest point of the sand-hill, he could see far ofi in all directions. To the north lay Lake Michigan, stretch- ing miles into the distance and seeming to blend into the sky. The huge freighters appeared like tiny bugs slowly swimming across the vast ex- panse of water. To the east and west lay other dunes nearly as high as old Tom but not quite as large. To the south, the land below appeared like a jungle with vines and shrubs thickly interwoven. Several farms were resting in open spaces which appeared very small from a distance. He watched the automobiles on the highway, creeping along and winding in and out as they passed each other. As he slowly cast his eye over all these things he began to feel a longing in his heart, a longing to begin anew his happy school days with his old friends, who would soon be scat- tered, engaged in their difl erent occupations. He wondered what he would be, and what his classmates who were graduates in the class of ' 29 would be, and as he wondered, he fell into an imaginative reverie. Coming slowly up the hill was an old man clad fantastically in a gay colored cloak and having the general appearance of a gypsy. As the old fellow came nearer, he was surprised to hear him speak in a soft musical voice. Boy, he said, you ' re wondering about the future of yourself and others. I know you are, so I ' ll just give you a glimpse of what you ' d like to see, about what you ' re wondering. So saying, he took from the sleeve of his cloak a crystal ball. Passing his hand over the surface of the crys tal, he muttered a queer phrase or two and then in a kind voice he asked the boy to see what he could see in the crystal. Eagerly grasping the ball, the boy stared at its smooth surface until slowly there appeared an image before his eyes. At first it was difficult to discern, but gradually it grew clearer, and he saw himself a successful business man. Also there appeared other faces, one by one. Ruth Glover Page Thirty-one was a private secretary to the president of the Lowenstine Chain Stores. Myron Smith and Jack Miller, partners in a real estate firm, were dis- cussing a new addition to Valparaiso, now a flourishing city. A red hot musical revue featured Irmadell Johnson ' s snappy or- chestra with Thelma Robison at the sax ; Arthur Erickson, clarinet maestro ; and Charles Lannin the biggest laugh-getter of the year. Reverend Donald Marshall was introducing Mary Alice Gregory, a faithful pillar of the church and friend of the poor. The Bosse brothers were practicing law under the firm name of Bosse and Bosse. He caught a glimpse of Harry Wark and John Wise discussing a bill in the Senate. Ray Nichols and Harlin Leetz, famous comedians, were filling a long engagement at the largest theater in Chicago. Lenore Snow, Verneeta Hock, and Emma Raelson, all married, were discussing domestic problems and recipes. George Christy and Herbert Deer were staff artists for one of the leading magazines. Violette Richards, Grace Kinne, and Crystal Danielson were discuss- ing the newest kind of beauty treatment for use in their beauty parlor. He saw Robert Ritz and William Allerton, manufacturers of sporting goods, in whose office Alice Nelson and Helen Rathjen were employed ; Butler Lindall was sales manager. Sigman Derman was proprietor of the Derman Shoe Store. Langdon Murvihill and Irl Miskimins were professional athletes specializing in long distance running. Clarence Henderlong and Bennet Bauer were successful agriculturists in northern Indiana. He caught a glimpse of Russell Shinabarger, Leland Frailey and Gerald Dickson, well paid electrical engineers for the Commonwealth Edi- son Company of Chicago. Homer Gray and Hershel Seymour, lawyers, were rapidly achieving fame in criminal cases. He saw William Philley directing a vita-phone production in which Elizabeth Fyfe and George Black were starred. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Durand, the latter formerly Kathryn Forney, were entertaining for Marion Filgiano, famous singer and actress. Maurine Sisson and Kathleen Stinchfield were athletic directoi ' s at Illinois University. Coi-delia Lytle, Estella Wyman, and Dorothy Palmer had taken up nursing; all three were holding important positions in large hospitals in New York City. He glimpsed Floyd Fields and Eugene DeGrazia, civil engineers, work- ing on huge projects in South America. Gerald Brown was traffic regulator at Miller Beach, Gary. Page Thirty-two Margaret Wyland and Alice Frakes were in the dress designing busi- ness, conducting a large shoppe in Chicago. Gerald Beach and Wilford Williams were playing in the New York Symphony Orchestra. Lydia Sands and Linnea Zinn were congressional representatives from the 10th district of Indiana. He saw Jean Boyer, an aviator, in the U. S. mail service. Musa Walker and Loreine Thatcher were stenographers in the office of William Skinner, real estate agent. Lois Higley was sheriff and political leader of Porter County. Lloyd Edinger had become a famous basketball coach. Melvin Stinchfield was efficiency expert for Marshall Field and Com- pany. He glimpsed Howard Brummitt, a professor of history at North- western University. Emile Prince was a lecturer, giving descriptions of his travels in the unusual places of the world. Edith Cast, a prominent politician, was traveling with Avis Strong, her private secretary and chief aide. Aron Bodenheimer was baker and candy maker for the Darst-DeWitt chain of delicatessens. He had a glimpse of Butler Lindall, traveling salesman for a sport- ing goods company. And lastly he saw a great banquet hall in which Theodore LeCompte, a former basketball star of Ohio State University, was being toasted by the present students. As the last picture slowly faded in a mist, he turned to seek the old man and to thank him for his kindness, but the bent old fellow had been old man Imagination and was not to be found. So, turn- ing his face toward the west where the sun was sinking, the boy started on his homeward journey, enlightened and contented as to what the future portended.

Page Forty-eight l dA! WRITING NOTES IN SCHOOL Voiv of 7iotetvriters: Nulla dies sine lines |HIS subject (I shall not vouch for the treatment of it) will undoubtedly please the older generation, for the members of it have probably forgotten that they ever wrote notes. There are two kinds of notes being written — those asking for information on certain subjects and the other kind (just plain notes) written on any and every subject. Of the two classes the latter is by far the more common and important. The day of the average student probably contains one note, but certain what might be termed over-average students receive several notes per day. A note a day keeps a student gay. According to that theory, some of the pupils should be uproari- ously happy. Only those epistles, however, which are just plain notes are able to make one happy or sad. Note-writing is a fault in that it takes time away from school work and dis- tracts other people when they are asked to pass a note or read one. However, this is a fault which is almost indispensable, for how is one to keep awake in study periods unless one has some occupation to keep him awake? (Of course, studying is out of the question! It simply is not done in the best society!) Also, how is one to communicate one ' s feelings if one is forbidden to talk or to write notes in school? I might mention the effects which notes have upon people. The reaction depends, however, both on the person and on the contents of the note. Studious people who write occasional notes merely for information are pleased when the note returns; they open it, and if the desired infonnation is given, are happy and then become absorbed in study again. Those individuals, on the other hand, who write notes purely for pleasure or to annoy others, are happy when the note is returned and immediately think of something else that simply MUST be told to the correspondent, and so the notes fly thick and fast, each one keeping up his or her end of the conversation well. If some expression of feeling were not necessary, no one, probably, would ever have conceived the noble idea of writing, and notes would not flourish, but thanks to some great genius, writing was started and wives of apostles are sped on their way to people near and far. Providence (or rather the school board) furnishes the paper, and one may borrow a pencil (although it is best not to do so) with which to write and answer the notes. Some of my friends are untiring note writers. One even used to go so far as to write notes in lemon juice so that only one initiated into the secret would be able to read them. This practice has been discontinued, however. Some people should have filing cabinets for their notes and then it would be much easier to refer to them. I would advise every one to write one note some time during one ' s life, but it becomes bothersome if too much is done. Therefore, I would suggest only one note, in order that one may learn the pleasure of note writing. (If an answer were made one might answer that, and so on and on.) There would also be the object of doing so that one might not judge a practice which one has not tried. To conclude: Note writing may be carried too far, even though it is a handy way of communicating feelings and assignments. No day without a line. Wives of apostles — epistles. MARIAN DeWITT.

In order to purchase a radio he had gone without snuff, one of the bare necessities of life in the opinion of his race, for almost a year. Like many others who are inexperienced in American ways he had no faith in banks, and since his socks had neither toe nor heel in which to hide the treasure, they were out of the question. After much mature deliberation he hit upon a wonderful scheme; he would from now on save up his small change during the week and on Saturday night would have it replaced by a paper bill. A paper bill had numerous advantages; it would fold flat and could be placed in the arch of his shoe where it would cover a very painful tack, and there would be little danger of losing it. After many weeks of privation he had the money to purchase the coveted radio. Long before, however, he had selected the radio which he wanted, and consequently lost no time in purchasing it. To his notion it was the best value to be had — why, it had nine knobs to turn and cost just a little more than some that had only one. He proudly carried the outfit home and erected it just as the man in the store had instructed him. I vunder if he givva der moozhic now, Dominic mused as he turned only three of the dials (for he was a thrifty chap, you must remember). It giffed moozhic. He danced about the room humming a Russian air which the radio recalled to his memory. Suddenly he stopped short. Vot did you said yett? he queried of the voice on the ether. The announcer did not reply, but a tenor voice filled Dominic ' s music loving ears with You ' re the Cream in My CoflFee. Dot ' s it — KawflFy! exclaimed Dominic. The thought of coffee brought in turn several other meditations to Dominic ' s mind; he remembered that if he had any coff ' ee he must make it himself. He thought how badly he needed a wife, which in turn made him think of his darling little Molly Rappaport. His thoughts of Molly gave him a most excellent idea, what a wonderful impression all of them wheels on the radio would make on Molly. It would show her that he was thrifty, too, for he could get music out of the thing by turning only three of them wheels , and there would still be six left! Certainly Molly could not refuse him now. Dominic ran bareheaded down the alley to Molly ' s house. He greeted her with, Come quick and have a look vunce! Hand in hand they started back with childish simplicity, and proudly and breath- lessly he lead her before the marvelous machine. The wonder was too much; she could not speak. Molly, he whispered, When you gits married with me, I wants to give you dis radio; that ' s why I buyed it. Will you done it, Molly? Aw, shawd awp! she cried, as she playfully tried to box his ears. Dominic dodged the blow in pretended fear. When he dodged, he bumped the table with one of his big shoes. The impact was so great that it jai-red several of the dials out of tuning, and a new station brought in Don ' t Be Like That — with an en- tirely new meaning to them, so that the new radio was completely forgotten for the time being. WARREN M. SMITH. Page Fifty-one HUMAN INSIGHT AYBE it was the dazzling glint of her red hair in the sunlight, maybe it was the mystery of her changeful eyes, or maybe the fairies had been present at her christening, and had given her this one tribute, this elusive quality of charm. Her skirts were too brief, her high-heeled slippers with their frivolous and gaudy ribbons were too daring, her fingernails were the cause of un- ending admonitions on the part of a usually gentle parent (whose anti- oriental tendencies were his only active dislike), but most of all she was too utterly indifferent to the opinions of those whose opinions were usually respected. For some unaccountable reason she cared more for her own insignificant opinion of herself than the village gossips ' ideas. Yet she was charming; no one could deny that, and she was cordially hated by the female population of the village ; no one could deny that either. She had never had a pal among the members of her own sex, and had never seemed to suffer any pangs of loneliness on this account. Other girls had friends, certain favored beings into whose sympathetic ears were pored all the confidences that youth always wishes to make. The red haired girl must have had those delicious secrets, those hopes, those ideals, too, but again the fairies must have supplied the medium, for she was always gay. She had but one friend, if you could call him such, and she certainly showed no desire to tell him much of anything, outside of an occasional invitation to go home early so that she could watch the beauty of the moon without disturbance. He was the answer to any maiden ' s prayer, as they say, and the other girls never could understand his un- changing devotion to her. His name was Jack, the sort of name that prize- fighters, boxers, and regular he-men have, and he forgot all the assur- ance that was his before the throngs that cheered him so wildly on the football field whenever this little red-head was near, and he stammered and blushed pitiably. Jack wasn ' t particularly prone to introspection and he excused his peculiar liking for her by the very commonplace statement that she ' s queer until you get to know her; then you sorta want to stick aroun ' . Then Sue came to live in their little town — Sue with the blueness of the western sky reflected in her eyes, and with the willing smile that is the child of a kind heart. It was inevitable that she should be attracted to the girl with the gleaming hair — everyone was, at first — but somehow Sue ' s interest in the girl was not as fleeting as that of the others had been. Sue was piqued by the lovely one ' s unconcern and was interested in its source ; in a vague way she envied her. Sue made a determined effort to draw the girl into the crowd of friends who had welcomed her so warmly, and, of cour.se, it was futile. As the weeks went by she was gradually realizing that she must either give up all the other girls, who had such jolly times together or the Page Fifty-two IAN red-haired girl who simply couldn ' t mix. Sue at first made excuses to the girl, but somehow she knew that no excuse, however good, could mislead a girl whose eyes were so queer, so different, so seeing. The girl did not change because the one prospect of a pal had gone over to the enemy ' s camp. She had never been demonstrative of her preference for Sue, and now that it was expected of her to make catty remarks about her former friend she merely laughed in her gay little way, and the envious and disconcerted rivals saw the glint of her hair in the sunlight and the happy, dancing feet that seemed to spurn the earth, encased as they were in the stilt-like shoes. When Sue announced that she was leaving for the West once again, there were numerous farewell parties where tears gushed freely, and kisses and promises of lasting friendship were exchanged with a seeming sincerity that would have been pronounced superb if displayed behind the footlights. The girl with the red hair did not come ; perhaps she com- muned with the fairies ; perhaps she was not invited. It was the last day; the sun beat pitilessly upon the town, and it was simply too hot for Irene, Katie, and May to come for a last chat with Sue. In the white hot glare of the afternoon sun a glint of red, a flash of green and a jingle of bracelets heralded the approach of the red haired girl. A desultory chat ensued ; Sue ' s visitor perched upon the steps and idly ran her hands back and forth over the row of shining bracelets. Sue was bored — she had never cared for this friend — much, but she summoned the ambition to maintain at least a semblance of regret when the girl finally arose to walk out in the sun again, and probably out of Sue ' s life. She kissed the indifferent one and looked after her departing figure with a whimsical smile playing about her lips. She had hoped that the girl would turn and wave, just for — well, for convention ' s sweet sake, but the brave little thing tripped away with never a backward glance. The same disdainful insouciance that characterized her every movement was displayed even at the last. Well, Sue addressed herself, at last I have developed a human in- sight; for the first time in my life I ' ve had enough sense to recognize a fake friend and to drop her in time. But after all, dear reader, how could Sue know that somewhere a girl was crying — crying for very loneliness because she had left their town? Anyway, how could she know that that girl was the — gay li ttle red head? Human insight? Ah, well — Crystal Danielson.

Fourteen out of twenty-two games were won. We finished in fourth place in the big fifteen conference and won the sectional for the fifth consecutive year. We lost the regional to the strong Horace Mann team which later went to the semi-finals in the State Tournament. Starting the season with only two regulars from last year ' s squad we were defeated in the opening game by Hobart. From then on our playing be- came better. The cli- max was reached with the defeat of Emerson and Goshen. It would seem that next year ' s squad should be better than this year ' s. Only four men, LeCompte, Edinger, Durand and Seymour, are lost by graduation.  Un.- MifiiAKi. 1ii:Gka7.ia MiOLVIN STINCIIFIELI) Page Fifly-eight ris VALLIM TRACK Row 1 (Top) — Ml-.

There 29-19 Won SUMMARY From the viewpoint of wins and losses, the Girls ' Basketball Team enjoyed a fairly successful season. Although the climax of the season, the County Tournament, saw us beaten in the finals by the strong Cris- man team, nevertheless, the style of game displayed throughout the tour- nament was such as to merit and win approval on every side. The out- come of the tournament was doubtful enough to hold the interest of every spectator throughout. The regular season was one of ups and downs. Our strongest rivals were Argos, Plymouth, and Crisman. Of these, we were able to defeat only one, this being Plymouth, on their home floor on January 4th. The Stinchfield-St. Clair combination at forward, Sisson-Powell at Center, and Lytle-Snow at Guard, made the Girls ' Varsity a strong, smooth-working machine. For the most part, this machine exhibited a maximum of team work and a striking minimum of individual star play. The high school has reason to be proud of this very creditable girls ' team.

Yet, this is exactly what a large group of girls have done this season. The reserves were given one small bit of encouragement when a game was scheduled with Boone Grove on January 12. The Varsity team, having played the night before, was given a rest and the reserves repre- sented Valpo. High School. The score was 30-1 in favor of Boone Grove. Aside from this score, the team really made a nice showing, when one con- siders the fact that it was its first appearance in a regular game of any kind, and the fact that not once had that particular combination of girls played together as a team. The real purpose of the game — encourage- ment and experience — justified the scheduling of such a contest. The reserves were: Name Class Ethel Babcock Junior Alice Flakes Senior Virg inia Moreland .Junior Mary Edna Stoner Junior Myra A ' Neals Sophomore Mary Miller Freshman Dorothy Bay Freshman Harriet Struve Freshman Name Class Chrystabel Hobbs Sophomore Marjorie .lessee Junior Eileen Sheets Junior Ruth Carlson Junior Margaret White Freshman Rosemary Blaese Freshman Helen Cobb Freshman Marian Kinzie Freshman Jean Fitzgerald Freshman Page Sixty-three LONE PRIDE The sands pkuj hide and seek for days, Uncover tragic, leafless stumps; New leaves appear — pathetic clumps — Sad ghosts of thick leaf-laden haze! The sands, whose warm embrace they tried, Have left them little but their pride.

There has been much favorable comment upon the high standard of work achieved by Miss Stevens. The Girls ' Glee Club sang three numbers for the February Teachers ' Meeting held at the Central Building. The combined glee clubs joined with all the pupils of the Valparaiso schools in singing Christmas ca) ' ols at the Boucher Gymnasium on the Friday afternoon preceding the Christmas vacation. The light-opera, The Pirates of Penzance, was the crowning event of the year ' s work.

One eighth of a credit is given each semester. The boys formed the Police and Pirate Choruses in the light-opera, The Pirates of Penzance, given by the music depart- ment. The highlight in social activities of the Glee Clubs was the Christ- mas party held in the high school library on December 7.

The results of the District Contest held on March 23, at Rensselaer were as follows : Division IB, Helen Cory — First Division lA, William Chambers — Second Division 2, Rowell Conklin — First Division 3, Mary Edna Stoner — First Division 3, Virginia Moreland — Second Those receiving first honors were entitled to go to Bloomington on April 12, to compete for first honors in the state contest. This speaks well for the Latin department of our high school and Miss Welty and Mrs. Thomas may feel proud of the showing their students have made. Page Seventy-three CALENDAR FOR 1928- ' 29 September 4 — Well, here we are again. Ray Nich- ols got his seat moved the first period of the first day of school. Miss McGillicuddy would, wouldn ' t she? 5 — Mrs. Foor tells Jack Miller that the period immediately preceding 8:35 is regarded as a study period. Jack had never even considered such an idea. 6 — The biology I class is informed by Mr. Barr that their tongues are fastened so they won ' t swallow them. 10 — Harlin Leetz has been wondering all along who this Mr. Jessee is. Mrs. Foor speaks of him so often. Today he finds out. 12 — Robert Pulver yells across room 102 to a friend. Mi-. Schenck soon dis- courages him of the practice. 13 — The class of ' 29, in other words the dignified seniors, holds its first meeting. 14 — Miss Weatherwax wonders if her civics class had ever heard that one should not recite without being call- ed on. How could you? 18 — Sigman Derman induces Mr. Pauley to recite Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star for the benefit of the physics class in general and Sigman in par- ticular. 20 — Smith is elected president — of the senior class. No, we mean Myron Smith, not the Hon. A. Emanuel Smith. 21 — Maurine Sisson informs the civics class that among other things Charles E. Hughes had been Secre- tary of State. Clarence Henderlong wants to know what state. 24 — According to Mr. Barr, Wm. Bosse is the most regular eater in the health education class. We wish to present the candidatecy of one, Steve Deckro, who eats a dime ' s worth of chocolate creams every day in the library. 26 — Senior meeting. We decided to have dark blue jackets with gold letters for our class. 27 — Mr. Pauley reverts to his childhood days and tries to blow soap bubbles for the chemistry class, but he seems to have forgotten the tech- nique. 28— Aha! ! ! ! A half holiday for the fair. George Christy says that if we were suddenly told to come back at 1:00 and march out there, the freshmen would show up, and also David LaRue. October 1 — Some enterprising wit wrote on the bulletin board in room 102, In case of fire, freshies, don ' t run, be- cause green things don ' t burn. 2 — Bill Allerton mistook his seat in English class for a bed and went to sleep. Mrs. Foor appointed Eliza- beth Fyfe a committee of one to re- mind him of his error. 3 — Joe Kimerer gets down on his knees to Tiny Skinner. We ' re not sure why. 4 — It must be catching! Clarence Hen- derlong falls asleep in civics class today. Miss Weatherwax kindly lets him sleep, but later she informs him that he will be the star per- former in a recitation after school. .5 — Mai ' y Jane Harris turns up with a broken finger, and Ray Nichols with a broken wrist. Looks kind of fishy, doesn ' t it? 12 — Columbus Day. Jack Miller takes time out this afternoon to go to Gary and visit his lady friends. Mr. Jessee doesn ' t appreciate his sentiments. 15 — The faculty got kind hearted, and to countej-act the efi ' ect our cards might have produced let us go to the gym at three o ' clock to see the Marionette Players present The King of the Golden River. 23 — Today we get out to hear a speaker in the gym. Jack Miller tells Page Seventy-four fW LLIN Kathleen Stinchfield that she is to be called on for an extemporaneous speech . Kathleen is all hot and bothered until she goes to the gym and discovers that Jack was merely having his little joke. 24 — The physics class learns that Mr. Pauley has a prejudice against ga- rage men. He says he doesn ' t trust them any farther than he can throw a piano. 26 — Mr. Jessee seems to have started a fad. He appears Monday with a sore leg. Up to date Lloyd Edinger, Charles Rickard, Jim Hildreth, Robert Pulver, John Wise, and Phil White have sore legs, too. 29— Bill Allerton, Ted LeCompte, Jerry Beach, and Harlin Leetz all came to school wearing green ties. This must be a secret organi- zation to continue the custom start- ed by Hon. Robert Thune. If they wear yellow ones tomorrow, we ' ll know it is. November 1 — Big senior parade. We dazzle the under-classmen with our new jack- ets. 2 — Maurine Sisson and Butler Lindall surprise the civics class and pull down 95 ' s in a test. They sit idly by while the rest of the class takes the test over. 5 — Melvin Stinchfield is elected basket- ball manager. Congratulations, Melv. 6 — Voting day ! ! ! The seniors do their duty and vote. They pass a rule that only seniors can wear the senior jackets. 7 — Billy Chambers must have sat up all night listening to the election re- turns. Miss Sieb had to wake him up three times in library today. 8 — Tonight we return to our beloved citadel of learning at the ungodly hour of 7:15 P. M. in order that our dear families and Robert Phil- lips may come in and see how our school is run. Just as everybody is all set to begin, someone with a romantic turn of mind — rumored to be either John Steiner or John Horner — turns off the lights. The 26- 28- 30- townspeople wonder if this is a reg- ular occurrence. -Miss Hudson is away for the day, so Mr. Schenck finds it necessary to re- mind Crystal Danielson and Kate Forney twice in the same period that they really shouldn ' t talk while typewriting. -The music class starts studying fairy stories connected with a Rus- sian composer. Lois Higley asks Miss Stevens if she could bring a book of Grimm ' s fairy stories and study that. -Langdon Murvihill comes to school with his face all patched up. Ray Nichols wonders if it ' s so he won ' t have so much to wash. -Snow! Snow! Beautiful snow! Har- lin Leetz and Bill Skinner are so eager to have a snow fight that they almost rush right out of physics class. -Hi-Y initiation last night. Several of the new members, notably Ter- ry Billings and Perry Sisson, are observed to avoid sitting down whenever possible. -Donald Marshall tells the civics class that the 1893 World ' s Fair was held in White City. Everybody believes him but Maurine Sisson, who asks why some of the buildings were down in Jackson Pai ' k. - Abe Black gets to the library af- ter P. T. with a whole minute to spare. Mrs. Marimon nearly keels over with the shock. -Miss Weatherwax is explaining something to Harry Wark and she says, Use the plus sign if you want to, but no matter how you multiply it, the quotient is always the same. -Senior vaudeville brings down the roof. A piece of it almost hits Johnny Wise on the head. December -Howard Brummitt blows himself to seven of the new Linebooks and doesn ' t get any studying done all day. -Mrs. Marimon rearranges her libra- ry period. She puts all the good little boys like Warren Anderson, Page Seventy-five iNUAN Abe Black, Kenny Stanton, etc., as far apart as she can. 6 — Glen Coash has a new idea which will revolutionize basketball. He brings a chair and sits down to shoot baskets. Mr. Brown promptly excuses him for the remainder of the evening. 11 — Miss Hudson tells Art Erickson in typing that he has a perfect touch. He tries to touch Billy Philley for fifty cents, but it doesn ' t go over so good. 17 — Eddie Bosse ' s career as a comic artist ends abruptly when Miss Sieb consigns his masterpiece to the waste basket and tells him that he should get some studying done. 18 — Ye old calendar editor gave himself a Christmas present by getting sick. Consequently there is no cal- endar for this week. 21 — Christmas party and carols. No school all afternoon. January 8 — Robert Pulver is glad school started again because his girl friend had to come back from Chicago. 10 — Big pep session in the gym. Harry Duncan is so engrossed in Mr. Jes- see ' s eloquent speech that he falls over backwards off the top row of seats. 14 — Miss Weatherwax is sick. Of course, Elizabeth Fyfe doesn ' t wish her any bad luck or anything, but she does hope that she stays sick in- definitely because when she comes back Eliza beth will have to take a test. 14— Final exams. Ouch !!!!!!!! Myron Smith invents a new kind of arithmetic by which you take 2 ' from 10 and get 8V2. If he can just get Mr. Pauley to adopt it, he ' ll get about IC more on his physics exam. 16 — Those whom the gods would de- stroy they first make mad. Mary Jane Harris tells Mr. Brown not to talk so much because she can ' t study. 17 — Maynard Ealing mistakes the chem- istry lecture room for the gymna- sium and indulges in a little tumb- ling. Of course, Bob Pulver did his bit by pushing his chair over, but we are grateful to Maynard just the same — he did look so sweet scatter- ed all over the floor. Even Mr. Pauley must have thought so, but he didn ' t express it. 21 — These freshies must learn that we insist on discipline at any cost. To- day Mr. Schenck gives Alfreda Put- man a front seat in room 102 to see if he can keep her from talking to Howerth Goetz. 22 — Roy Kittredge, Steve Deckro, Doc Williams, and Wayne Max- well indulge in a little game of rum- my this morning in the library. 24 — Ezra Beach goes to yell pi-actice and loses his voice. Mrs. Schenck has peace and quiet in her study room for the first time. 25 — The first period this afternoon some freshies (of course) mistake the telephone bell for the passing bell and start to rush out of the library. Mrs. Thomas gently but firmly shows them wherein they have err- ed. 29 — The English V class comes into the library the third period this P. M. and presents the student body with a map of the world.

He Paws Down and Goes Boom on icy Michigan Street. 31 — Joe Urschel is dodg ing all the girls now. In some way or other he has managed to accumulate a capital of 73 cents and he ' s afraid someone will want to marry him for his money. February 4 — Reserves go to LaCrosse and win 15- 9. Pete Watt says that if the floor was any smaller they ' d have to play with four men on a side and put the referee in the bleachers. 5 — Bob Lytle ' s healthy tread (aug- mented by heel plates) annoys Miss ' ' Page Seventy-six Weatherwax so much that she re- quests him to either wear basket- ball shoes or go barefooted when he comes to the library. 6 — Tiny Skinner shows her vast knowledge of the innerworkings of an automobile today. She says she doesn ' t need a key to start her boy friend ' s car because it has a self- starter. 7 — Today us-uns were requested to repair to the gym at the end of the third period, and somehow we all started to wonder about that pencil mark on the radiator and the gum under our seat. When the bell sounded George Beach Christy was seen dashing madly down the hall, with his coat clutched in one hand and his hat in the other; we watch- ed breathlessly by. It ' s a sad story, friends. Mr. Jessee caught him just as our daring hero reached the door. Cheub ' s inventive genius failed him and he said he thought it was noon. 11 — Jack Miller turns radio announcer in the dressing room after basket- ball practice. His first announce- ment is Pint Gray, the golden voic- ed tenor, will sing a little ballad entitled ' We All Know There ' s a Guy Crazier ' n Dave LaRue, But We Don ' t Know Where He Lives ' . 13 — Try-outs for the senior play. Such experienced actors as Herb Deer, Bill Skinner, and Myron Smith out-class us amateurs. 14 — Add embarrassing moments ! ! ! Gordy Durand leans over to pick up a note from Kate in room 101 today, and just as he is about to grab it, his seat breaks. Gordy sprawls on the floor to the intense delight of his fellow students. Fate ' s against you, Gordy; true love never runs smooth, etc., etc. 18 — Miss Welty is certainly uncompli- mentary. She asks little Georgie Baker if his feet are so big that he can ' t keep all of them under his seat. And Georgie was just try- ing to relax and get his little nap. 19 — Hi-Y sweaters come. The boys look very nice in their sweaters. 20 — Hi-Y sweaters go. The girls look very nice in the sweaters. 25 — Mrs. Foor makes the remark in journalism class that by this time we have lost our interest in themes and compositions. Herb Hinkle says he lost his when he was a freshman. 26 — Karl Tilton waxes merry in the li- brary the third period this afternoon until Miss Weatherwax awards him a seat right next to her. 27— The basketball squad eats with the Rotary Club today as their guests. Robert Pulver is the chief speaker. 28 — It ' s a good thing Devon Lemster is only taking four subjects. He got bawled out in lOC r of his classes today. March 4 — We went out in the gym and listened to the inauguration of President Hoover. A radio was installed through the courtesy of Mr. Wm. Morris and the Lincoln Highway Garage. 5 — We go out in the gym again. We hear a violinist this time. A few students with very little school spirit — we ' re not mentioning any names — take advantage of the op- portunity and skip school. 6 — The senior president leads a hard life. Today Miss Weatherwax finds it necessary to remind Myron of what she expects from the presi- dent of the senior class, etc., etc. 7 — Mr. Pauley tells the chemistry class what he thinks of bonehead answers. Tresa Justice furnishes the occasion. When asked what happens when a fire extinguisher is turned upside down, she says, The stuff runs out. 10 — Howard Brummitt carelessly leaves his diary lying within our reach. We print this extract: — I wish Ed- win Bosse would suddenly become enamoured of the desire to see what the attractions of the Atlantic Ocean are at a depth of three miles or so. Such a pest !!!!! 11 — These freshies certainly have a lot of school spirit. About 607c of Page Seventy-seven them wear V-necked sweaters to school. 12 — We have a newcomer in our ranks. H. W. Brummitt uses all his in- fluence with Mrs. Thomas to get her put next to him in the library, but Mrs. Thomas takes her to room 101. By which is demonstrated the extent of H. W. B. ' s influence over Mrs. Thomas. 13 — The thirteenth is John Wise ' s lucky day. He finds a dollar bill in his political economy book. Myron Smith and Skeeter Boyer immedi- ately look through all the books they have, but with no success. 14 — Miss Weatherwax asks her P. E. class whether a phonograph playing is production. Ted LeCompte says, No, it ' s reproduction. 15 — Irmadell Johnson, one of the stars of the senior play, gets the mumps. 18 — Lloyd Edinger sets out for New York, but his car breaks down when he gets as far as the Trail Lin, so he returns to school. 1!) — There ' s a great deal of absence these beautiful spring days. Wonder what the absentees do about the on my honor, the tinae cause of my absence etc. excuse blanks? 20 — Leland Frailey steals second with the bases full this morning in a phy- sics test. At least that ' s what Mr. Pauley calls it. Mr. Pauley also warns the class against such things as sitting there without a brain cell working and saying, ' Pencil, do your duty ' . 21 — Mr. Jessee asks us to stay off the field to the northwest of the school. Red Johnson says he ' s going to wait until dark and then walk across it and back twice to make up for what he ' ll miss on the way to school. 22 — Senior play! ! ! ! ! Myron Smith is discovered to be a great wise crack artist. Other members of the cast were also present and served as vic- tims for his scintillating humor. 2.5 — Teriy Billings in physics wants to know how, in a telephone ground circuit, an electric current knows enough to go back to the i-ight place. 26 — Members of the operetta cast go to Chicago to see Pirates of Penzance played as it should be played. April 1 — Today is Mike DeGrazia ' s happy day. He proves to be a peerless practical joker. The teachers even forget Howard Moltz and Marty Nehring when he struts his stuff. 2 — Mrs. Poor ' s April Fool joke is a day late, but it is effective nevertheless. She springs a test on her unsuspect- ing journalism classes. 3 — Sleepy Bond, the answer to a maiden ' s prayer, after an extensive research, announces that he has dis- covered that 50% of the married people in Porter County are women. 4 — Opei ' etta. Herb Deer, Mary Alice Gregory, and Wm. Bosse furni.sh the plot. Sarge Butler Lindall with his crew of fighting cops, and Maj. Gen. Ray Nichols furnish the com- edy. 5 — Kenny Stanton pulls a fast one in algebra class. He lights his light- er and heats his locker key real hot. Then he hands aforementioned key to George Miller, who sits across the aisle from him. George is afraid to drop it because of the noise it would make, so he just holds it. You big brute, Kenny. 8 — Franklin Mead is going to be a commercial expert. Mr. Parr, the practice teacher in P. E., asks for a representative pioduct from various countries. Fi-ank pipes up, The Mexican jumping bean. 9 — Dick Dowdell flips a coin to see what he should do tonight — heads he ' ll go skating, tails he ' ll go to Sievers, and if it stands on end he ' ll go home and study. The coin lights in the grass on end, but Dick goes skating anyway. 11— Hi-Y Banquet. 26 — Junior-Senior Banquet.

Page Seventy-eight THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF VALPARAISO HIGH SCHOOL HE first class to graduate from Valparaiso High School was the class of 1874. Professor W. H. Banta was chosen to be the head of what might be termed the first Alumni Association, but the present organization was started in 1878, with Theron Bell serving as the first president. There were two members of the class of 1874, Anna R. Skinner, who later married A. L. Kellogg, and Grace Ball, later Mrs. James McFetrich. Miss Rebecca Bartholomew had finished her school work some place else, but came back here and was granted a diploma with the class of 1874. The Alumni Association has done much for the school city of Valpa- raiso. By providing the first equipment for the Manual Training Depart- ment, they probably won the admiration of most of the boys in school. The high school library was started by a gift of books from the alumni. A large picture of the St. Gauden ' s statue of Lincoln was presented to the Banta School in memory of the services of Prof. Banta, the first superin- tendent of city schools in Valparaiso. Several people who, in later life, became prominent citizens, have graduated from Valparaiso High School during the half century and more since its founding. Samuel McClure, who has gained prominence as the founder of McClure ' s Magazine, was one of the early graduates. Profes- sor Frederic Arvin, of Smith College, and his brother, Neil Arvin, were also graduates. George Beach was treasurer of the Alumni Association from his graduation in 1887 until his death a few years ago, and Beach ' s Jewelry Store is still the treasury. Franklin Lunbeck is the present president of the Alumni Association, and he has for his helpers. Miss Charlotte Burke, secretary, and Forrest Jones, treasurer. Page Seventy-nine APPRECIATION The Staff and sponsor of the 1929 Valenian wish to expi ' ess their thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Margarette Ball Dickson, mother of Gerald Dickson, a member of the graduating class of 1929. She composed and contributed the lines under the pictures in the scenic section and the verses on the insert pages. They also wish to express their appreciation to the many who have helped, and who have made it possible to bring this annual to its completion.

Page Eighty-nine %mr ' m ON FIRST LOOKING OVER THE NEW CROP OF FRESHMEN Oft have I seen the streams of freshmen flow Into the portals of our dreaded school And vainly mill about just like a pool Of fish, when months of drought have made too low The level of the lessening lake. And so It is each year; just like a yearling mule, As slow to learn. Their former tools, the rule And pencil box, are scattered as they go To racing through the halls with no re- gard For life and limb, until our principal Is met, and does their speed retard; From their high perch of joy, a lowly fall Into the depths of ridicule. A guard Against recurrences establish all. George Christy. STUDENT ALTERNATIVES You have two alternatives: Either you know enough or you don ' t. If you do, you have little to worry about. If you don ' t, you have two alterna- tives: Either you go to school or you don ' t. If you don ' t you have little to worry about. If you do, you have two alternatives: Either you work or you don ' t. If you do, you have little to worry about. If you don ' t, you have two alterna- tives: Either you pass or you fail. If you pass, you have little to worry about. If you fail, you have two alternatives: Either you quit or you repeat. If you quit, you have little to worry about. If you repeat, you have two alterna- tives: Either you work or you don ' t. If you do, you have little to worry about. If you don ' t, you have two alterna- tives: Either you pass or you fail. Et cetera, ad infinitum. Phyllis Bailey. Page He done me wrong, wailed the alge- bra problem, as the Freshman handed in his exam, paper. Kate Forney — Who was the unlucki- est man in the world? Gordy Durand — Adam, because he couldn ' t flirt with Eve and say, Haven ' t I met you before some place? Ted — What, your brother fainted at the wheel? Ike Skinner — Yes! The woman sig- nalled a left turn, and she turned left. Judge — You were reported traveling at a speed of sixty miles an hour. Prisoner — It was necessary, your honor; I had stolen the car. Judge — Oh! That ' s diff ' erent. Case dismissed. Ezie Beach wanted to borrow $1,000 at the bank on his face. On his face? Yes, on his face. And how did he come out? On his face. Ike Aylesworth — Are you sure Bill loves you, and you alone? Izzy Garrison — Oh, yes; more then, than at any other time. You never can tell, said the bandit, as he shot the only witness to his crime. Ah shuah does pity you, said a col- ored pugilist to his opponent as they squared off. Ah was born with boxin ' gloves on. Maybe you was, said the other, and ah reckon you ' s goin ' to die de same way. Say, do you know a fellow down your way with one leg named Wilson? I don ' t know. What ' s the name of his other leg? Heard the day after visitors ' night: Ted, did you turn out the lights last night? ' W Me? Heck, no! I didn ' t have a girl. M Ninety VLLNIAN Mrs. Thomas translates for her Virgil class a part of a sentence which was giv- ing trouble. May he not (nee). She gets no further. It is beyond even a modern Latin class to associate Dido and necking. High — I ' ve just been to Mac Ander- son ' s funeral. Hat — Why, is Mac Anderson dead? High — Well, if he isn ' t we certainly played him a dirty trick. The height of hard luck in the old days was for a Scotchman to get a hair cut just before an Indian massacre. Sweet young thing — Why are you run- ning that steam roller thing over the field? Farmer — I ' m going to raise mashed potatoes this year. And do you mean to tell me you laughed in the face of death? Laugh? I thought I ' d die. How big is a tug boat? What kind of a tug boat? Oh, a big one. How big? OWED TO GYM There ' s a bandage ' round my shoulder, There ' s a charley in one limb, My hand won ' t write, One eye ' s closed tight, ' Cause I take Gym! There ' s a bruise on my right elbow, There ' s a floor-burn on my chin. My back is strained, I should be brained ' Cause I take Gym. It goes thi ' ough you how the teachers stare, When they see your mass of tumbled hair, Clothing twisted here and everywhere. My, oh me! There ' s a cut just over my eyebrow. There are gaps where teeth have been, — The bell just rang, I HOPE THEY HANG THAT GUY CALLED JIM ! Miss Word. Page Ninety-one Paflre Ninety-two ..g. ' i J!! . - .
