d- jueJL O uuJjLj dk i THE VALENIAN 1933 (Yearbook PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF VALPARAISO HIGH SCHOOL VALPARAISO. INDIANA wsmmm FOREWORD It has been our intention in writing this book to make it your book, and we have attempted to interpret school life as it really is. There is a quotation from Virgil, Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit, ( Perhaps it will please you to re- member these things in some future time. ) If in futurity you should look at this book remembering your high school days with pleasant meditations, our aim will have been successful. DEDICATION To the students of the past, of the present, and of the future — to all those whose lives have touched in the common bond of high school fellowship, we the Senior Class, dedicate this, the 1933 Valenian. May we who have benefited by the progress made by those who preceded us, hand the torch to our successors, finding in them more worthy bearers of the light.

WHARTON Secretary SCHOOL BOARD The School Board is composed of three men, appointed by the city administration for a term of three years ; each individual serving one year for each of the respective offices, president, treasurer, and secretary. On the present board is Mr. Ira C. Tilton, president, a well-known attorney of the city. Mr. Tilton is very interested in politics and has been an enthusiastic political leader for some time. Dr. Keehn, treasurer of the school board, is a prominent man in town and a successful dentist. Rev. C. W. Wharton, secretary, has for eleven years been the pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Mr. Wharton is serving his second term, having been reappointed in August 1932. We, as students, realize that these men are vitally interested in us, and that without them little could actually be accomplished. We know that these men are public-spirited for there is little remuneration for their ser- vices. We believe the very least we can do to show our appreciation for their efforts is to give them this space in our yearbook. GRACE SALMON Office Clerk Seven R. B. JULIAN Superintendent Mr. Julian became superintendent of the Valparaiso City Schools three years ago. In the short time that he has been here, he has proved himself a capable person for this position, and his man- agement of the Viking ship has been commendable and praiseworthy. H. M. JESSEE Principal For twenty years Mr. Jessee has dili- gently worked for Valparaiso High School and for our welfare, and he has directed our education and activities with unusual ardor. We, as part of the school, greatly admire him and appre- ciate all he has done. Eight FACULTY KENNETH BARR Science Parson ' s College, B. S.; University of Wiscon- sin; Colorado State College.

Witnesses, Helen Filgiano Harold Keehn Thirty-three CLASS PROPHECY WHIR-R-R-R ! What ' s that? The clock has broken. The hands are whirling around at a terrific speed. Time flies by. Years elapse in few seconds. It is 1933-1946. The hands slacken their speed a little — 1949. They move more slowly. Finally they stop. The clock strikes twelve. We look up and to our amazement find that it is the first day of January, 1950. The clock, the one invention of Hyland Fulton which has proved a success, counted time for ten years and then repeated its cycle. My co-worker and I were sitting by the fireside reminiscing, and finally we took down a 1933 copy of the Valenian. How strange it was to recall all the classmates who were once so near to us. Estelle Agnew, the first picture in the book, had become a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company and she and her husband, Harold Wojahn were starring in the light opera Robin Hood. Jean Green was studying art in Paris under a noted French painter. Mary Gant, Gladys Palmer, and Eleanor Crisman, were the foreign language instructors in Palmer High School, Chicago. The former two are teaching Latin and Eleanor is the German instructor. In the same school, we find Robert Burk, as principal, and Eric Andres, as superintendent. Less surprising, however, was the fact that Harold Keehn and his nine piece orchestra were playing at the Aragon ball room in the absence of Wayne King, who had recently retired from his profession. In Keehn ' s orchestra we find Harold Gast, Fred Skinner, Leo Clifford, and Ruth San- ford, all former chums of the great saxophone king. As head nurse of the city hospital, we found Helen Filgiano, who had achieved fame for her noted work. Adolph Nielsen is the leading surgeon and Drs. Howard Powell and Thomas Sheffield are attending physicians. Jean Allett and Hannah Horner are in Congress, and Gerald Dye and Allen Snider are serving as their private secretaries. The Martinal sisters, Blanche and Adelaide, have been touring the country making phonograph records in succession of the Boswell Sisters. As to those who have taken up teaching positions, we find Virginia Frederick and Ruth Van Winkle as head of the dramatic department in Stevens College. A certain percentage of any class would be expected to marry and settle down early in life. From the 1933 class, we find Aaron Brown, now a prosperous coal merchant in St. Louis. Thelma Wertman and Vernon Leslie are happily married and are touring the country making debates. Practice makes perfect ! Of course Alia Mae Breed and Lu Delia Casbon have been long on the matrimonial sea as have Leilia A ' Neals and Clara Brown, all of whom married local boys. The more prosperous of our class have gone into business in all parts of the United States. In California we find Mary Wheeler, Mary Frances Moreland, Vincent Gray, and Harry Johnson, all working toward stardom in the movies. Fred Wheeler, we find as a leading director for Paramount. Thirty-four In the journalistic field, as we would expect, we find Haven Deck, re- porter for the Chicago Tribune , Oscar Froberg, editor of the Boston Times , and Marjorie Claudon, feature editor for the Atlantic Monthly . Kathryn Harris is writing the old town news, and specializes in writing The Dust Pan Column . Joette Musselman and Amanda Doelling are missionaries in India, and have just returned to their homes on a six month furlough. William Lindwall, Raymond Falls, and William Peabody are travell- ing with Barnum and Bailey Circus as feature clowns. The Sands twins, Ruth and Ruby, are also on the circuit as a featured dance team. James Hetzel has continued his activities and is now coach at Wiscon- sin University. James Spooner, not wishing to leave the old home town, has taken up Coach Powell ' s place in V. H. S. Lois Gant has become the Song Bird of the North and may be heard daily over V. R. P. 0., Valparaiso ' s new broadcasting station, owned and operated by Richard Field and Allwyn Williamson, incorporated. Accom- panying Lois on the piano, we find Pearl Hershman, also giving concerts on her violin. Bernard Ulsh has donated his life work in benefit of the little folks of the world. He and his wife, Mildred Austin, are now living at the North Pole, where Mrs. Claus works all year, making toys to be delivered at Christmas time by her husband. Marvin Cook has reformed and has taken over a pastorate in the First Methodist church of this city. Keith Brown has undertaken a huge task, and is leading mortician of Knox. Alice Hyatte has a flower shop in the sam e town and John Seymour completes the dead business by establishing a monument corporation. Roland Sievers may be heard calling out balls and strikes in the Big League Park — he always had strong lungs! Samuel Linkimer follows the footsteps of papa Linkimer , selling shoes and dry-goods. Henrietta Fisher has specialized in face-lifting and owns a large beauty shop in Gary, hiring as her operators, Bertha Kutscheid, Virginia Hamilton, and Joseph Saunders. Valparaiso has grown with the years, and now proudly boasts of four factories. One is a soap factory, owned by Carroll Durand, Thomas Bla- ney, Randall Spencer, and Fred Wheeler. The golf club factory, under the management of Robert Parker, has grown until it now covers three city blocks. Laura Lute is manager in the pillow case factory and turns out 4,000 pairs of pillow cases daily. Our fourth, but not least factory, is the perfume salon in full charge of Marjorie Clifford and Hazel Strong. As president of the concern, we see Earl Inman ' s name printed in gold letters. Picking up the daily paper, we read that Kenneth Sauter has made a record-breaking, non-stop flight around the world and back again in four- teen hours, twenty-three minutes, and ten seconds. Thirty-five A short article on the front page tells that Mildred Seymour has re- cently won a tennis match in southern Indiana, competing against Eliza- beth Arnold. While we are still speaking of athletics, it might suffice to mention that Robert Boling is bowling champion of the city, and Thomas Frame is winning the title of Jack Dempsey the second. Maxine McNeely is girls ' archery champion at Iowa State University. Stenographers of the law firm Blachly, Jessen, and Keene, — as we know them — Byron, William, and Eddie respectively, we find Vivian Basinger, Leona Kinne, and Eleanor Kotefka. Also in the stenographic field we find Helen Ball, Lucille Henry, and Jenelle Thatcher. Joseph Walas and Chester Froberg are doing research work in Africa, unearthing mounds of ivory. James Wark has added to his father ' s hardware business and with the aid of his friend and helper, Clyde Maxwell, has founded a large hardware store in this city. Doing city welfare, we read that President John Mathewson has organized a group of leaders consisting of Robert Newsom, Charles Ogden, Gerald Pence, and John Henry Timm who plan to carry out a benefit drive for the unemployed school children of Hebron. Harold Walsh and Robert Brady are chiefs of the city fire department. Hazel Dickinson is married and operates a gift shop on Lincolnway. Mary Evelyn Goddard has retired from R. F. C. and she and Ruth Tucker have instituted an old maid ' s home. Mary Harrold has gone abroad on a four years ' vacation. She plans to view the ruins at Rome and Palestine. Jeanette Wysokinski is modeling in an exclusive style shop in Chicago. In universities and colleges, we find a few studious persons still pur- suing in the field of education. Among our old 1933 class, we find Esther Nehring, Helen Neuman, Irene Otto, Mary Angela Reibly, and Ruth Von Doehren. Strange, but the feminine sex always seemed more studious. Owen Ogden is a prosperous farmer, living on a farm between Ches- terton and Valparaiso. John Coulter is Chicago ' s manager of Ford ' s new plant. Jess Wheeler, now out West, is owner of a huge ranch. Thelma Moore is secretary to Al Capone, who is now retired from his popular profession. The last member to mention, as the last one who entered our senior class is Gurdon Henry. He came to us from Colorado, and is now teaching engineering at our own University. My comrade and I had enjoyed reminiscing, but to our surprise we found it to be nearly midnight, so he arose to go. On parting he said, Our class has been a wonderful success, and we should be proud to have belonged to such a group. Yes , I said, and then whir-r-r-r-r goes the clock, and I awake. What a dream — one never to be forgotten !

CLASSES The sophomore and freshman classes are not organized. The junior class organized late in the semester selecting their officers and mak- ing plans for the end of the year. The latter two worked with the present Valeman staff thus gaining experience for next year ' s edition. UNDER CLASSES There were 166 freshmen who entered high school in the fall, and 55 entered at the second semester, making the total number of freshmen 221 There are 129 sophomores, and neither of these classes are organized The junior class with an enrollment of 125 organized late in the fall selecting their officers, and making plans for the year. It has been the custom for many years for the junior class to give a prom to the senior class, and this event is anticipated with much enthusiasm.

VALENIAN The Valenian was first published by the 1910 graduating class, and now twenty-three years later we are still carrying on this custom ; certain- ly under much better conditions than those under which the first class worked, but by no means ideal. Our main obstacle, like many other schools, was lack of funds. Many schools on account of existing conditions discontinued altogether the publishing of an annual. Although the staff has been hampered by lack of resources, every effort has been made to make this book rank as high, or higher than last year ' s. Previous years have found the annuals keeping rigidly to tradition; but this year marks a decided change in style, a more distinctive and characteristic mode of presentation. In this we have tried to keep abreast with the times by changing the whole character of the book and at the same time not violating any rules. Another interesting feature of our Valenian is that the book is entire- ly student work, under faculty supervision, except the printing, binding, and the covers. We have used absolutely no commercial art, and all the drawings in this book have been made by our own art editor. We have done away with a greater part of photography, but we have used snap- shots instead. These are much more informal and we believe you will en- joy them. With these newer ideas in mind, we feel that our book is repre- sentative of the school because it is student work and pictures student life. Forty-five VALPOST STAFF 1933 Row 1 Bottom: Emma R.

VALPOST There is a first time for everything, even with a school paper, thus the Valpost was launched three years ago in this school under the supervi- sion of Miss Sieb. After the first year, a regular course in journalism was offered, and the Valpost was published as a class project, under the instruction of Mrs. Foor. Last year the Valpost received honorable mention from the Indiana High School Press Association at Franklin, Indiana. Since the paper was first begun as a school project, it has been per- fected in many ways. Also since last semester, restrictions have been made as to those who may take journalism. Only those who have some journalistic ability are permitted to take journalism I, so that by the time such students reach journalism II, they will be fitted for work on the Valpost. Our publication started with four pages and was changed to six the second semester. This change was made to accommodate the number of ad- vertisers and to give space to the increased amount of news, but since a four page paper is recommended for a school of this size, we readopted the four pages. This also reduced the cost of production and subscription. The Valpost is now published bi-weekly and has an approximate sub- scription list of 375.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club is one of the few high school groups hav- ing the distinction of being an international organization. The purpose of this club is to develop leadership among the members, as well as to pro- vide educational and social advancement. Although the membership is limited to those who are taking or have taken home economics, sixty-seven girls are now members. A Valentine party with the University Home Economics Club was one of the outstanding social events of the year. BETTER SPEECH CLUB Make your speech an asset, not a liability is the motto of this club, which was organized for the first time this year. Judging by the noises that issue forth from Miss Kendall ' s room, the members seem to be having a good time while the programs are entertaining and educational. By various devices and games in their programs, attention is being called to mistakes that are commonly made, and a sincere effort is put forth by each student to conquer these English faults.

SCIEMUS CLUB The Sciemus Club was organized for the purpose of creating an in- terest in science throughout the school. It is enrolled in the Indiana Academy of Science. In order to keep up the required standing for mem- bership, several members attended the conference held at Notre Dame on November 18 and 19. At the convention, an account of the activities of the club for the previous year was given, and a project was submitted. The club ' s regular meetings included various speakers, and many unbelievable facts and interesting demonstrations were exhibited. FLOBIRSECT CLUB The purpose of this club is to give the members a better understand- ing of the creatures of Mother Nature. Thus the name Flo-Bir-Sect taken from the words flower, bird, and insect is well suited. The meetings during the first semester were spent in learning the theories of nature, and much interesting information was brought out at this time. As spring ap- proached, each member began a collection of specimens, bringing bugs, insects, flowers, and even snakes. FLOBIRSECT CLUB Row 1 Bottom : Mr. Barr — Sponsor.

GERMAN CLUB The German Club organized last year under the sponsor-ship of Mrs. Thomas has since proved very popular. The average membership is thirty-five, and each of these students must have had one semester of German. President Eric Andres conducts all the meetings in German, the minutes are likewise written in this foreign tongue. This year a definite system of programs and social events have been followed. These have been planned and carried out by the students themselves with the aid of their faculty advisor. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club was organized that those interested in Latin might have the opportunity of discussing and studying things pertaining to Latin for which there was no time in the daily work. One of the activities of the club was a contest between the members to bring in for the bulletin board material relative to this work. Another feature was a detailed study of Roman and Greek architecture. This included information con- cerning the Partheon, the Erechtheum, the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Coliseum.

Organized in 1926, this organization has steadily gained in influence and scope of its activities from year to year until it has reached a firm position, not only in the life of the school, but of the community as well. With their slogan of service ever in mind, the thirty-two members of the club co-operate willingly to promote the high ideals which are their objective. This year has seen a variety of activities promoted by the local Hi-Y. Some of the most noteworthy of these are as follows: the second-hand bookstore; presentation of four much needed books to the dramatics de- partment; a play, Good Mornin ' Judge, presented before the student body and also before a community group ; initiation of new pledges ; an induction ceremony and installation of the Hi-Y at the Morgan Township High School ; presentation of a picture of Miss Benney to the reference room in recognition of her years of untiring efforts to increase and main- tain the library; a Courtesy Week campaign; the annual Father and Son Banquet, held at the Presbyterian Church ; preparing and distribut- ing Christmas baskets in conjunction with the Girl Reserves; the sending of a delegation to participate in the Northern Indiana Conference at Ham- mond ; maintaining a check-room at the gymnasium ; the sale of pencils with basketball schedule; group church attendance; and finally, inviting speakers to give inspirational talks at the regular meetings. The officers who have served the club for the past year are: Harold Keehn, president ; James Spooner, vice-president ; Robert Burk, secretary ; Roger Moody, treasurer ; Adolph Nielsen, new treasurer ; Carroll Durand, sergeant-at-arms ; Harry Johnson, reporter. Without the untiring effort and aid of Mr. Schenck, the sponsor, the year would not have been so successful as it was.

GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves reorganized this year into three different group- ings; the freshmen and sophomores in one group, with Miss Vannice as sponsor, the juniors, with Miss Butler as sponsor, and the seniors as the Mother Group with Mrs. Beldon as advisor. A new way of becoming a member was established ; in that within a certain probation period a girl affiliated with Girl Reserves, who has earned the required number of points, will become a regular member. The ones who have not met this requirement are automatically dropped. A point system was adopted and for certain numbers of points earned, sweaters and chevrons are given. The purpose of this organization as stated in the Girl Reserves code is to face life squarely and to find and give the best, to be ready for service, loyal to God, sincere at all times. To be a Girl Reserve, the girl tries to grow to be the very finest person she can become. A number of activities have been carried out by this group during the year. All three divisions combined in giving an entertainment in the gym- nasium in honor of Riley ' s birthday. Likewise the three groups sponsored a drive to collect money from the high school students to buy screens for the use of the Silhouettes. They have done much welfare work co-op- erating with the Hi-Y in this. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas, baskets of food, clothing, and gifts were presented to the needy. For weeks the girls made and stuffed animals which were sent to the Riley Hospital for the little children there. The year of the Girl Reserves really begins in May when an election of officers takes place. It has been the custom during the past two years to have a farewell breakfast in honor of the graduating Girl Reserves. This affair has come also to be an installation of new officers where the old order changeth yielding plac e to new.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB This year the Commercial Club with Miss Hudson as its faculty advi- s or has completed its third year of successful work in the commercial field. The major project for the year was a detailed study of the most important countries of the world. The minor project was a study and practice of parliamentary law. A very interesting scrap book was kept in regard to the contents of the programs. TUMBLING CLUB The tumbling Brownies were organized by Mr. Brown in 1931, and now they number fifty-six. It is the purpose of this club to provide a form of physical activity for its members as well as enjoyment for themselves and others. Those who are considered proficient enough compose the squad which gives public performances and competes with other schools. The past year the club gave exhibitions at lodges and basketball games.

THE SILHOUETTES At the beginning of the school year the dramatics class organized as a club calling themselves The Silhouettes . The two are practically sy- nonomous, but the Silhouettes are responsible for the play productions that have been given. The first of their performances, The Knave of Hearts, was received most enthusiastically. This was a semi-classical play, and was followed by an ultra modern play Suppressed Desires. Succeeding these a series of comedies were presented, namelv, Elmer, The Rector, Nothing but the Truth, and The Red Lamp. OCTETTE It is the aim of each person in the glee clubs to become a member of the double quartet for it is only those who have attained a certain degree of proficiency who may belong to this group. The double quartet has made numerous public appearances; the first was at the fall concert. They at- tended the North Central Teachers ' Association at South Bend and sang there. They have sung at the Women ' s Club, the Presbyterian Church, and have entertained the junior high and grade buildings.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA Of the two musical organizations of the school, the band and the orchestra, the band is the more prominent, and has become one of Indiana ' s outstanding school units. It takes part at all athletic games and pep func- tions. In its short period of organization it won first at Lafayette in Class D (first year bands) in 1931, and won third place in Class B (bands of more than a year old) . This year the band is out to earn the right to rep- resent Indiana at the World ' s Fair in Chicago. Every year outstanding members are selected from the band and given a musical monogram in recognition of their outstanding work. Each year, Mr. Bucci presents a solid gold engraved medal to the most outstanding member. Last year this honor was given to Frank Briggs. The orchestra has a membership of twenty-five, and is progressing rapidly under the capable leadership of Mr. Bucci. It appeared with the glee clubs in the fall concert, for Robin Hood, and for commencement activities.

GLEE CLUBS Nearly every morning the glee clubs are practicing, and as one walks along the corridors, one strains an ear to catch the harmonies that issue forth. One-fifth of a credit is given for each semester ' s work. This year ' s debut was made when the two, in conjunction, appeared at the fall concert. Other appearances were made throughout the year. Both have furnished music for morning convocations, and for the Christmas Pageant. The boys have sung for Cook Comer ' s P. T. A. and for the Junior High School. In the spring the glee clubs presented the customary oper- etta, selecting an Indian operetta, Lelawala, by Charles Wakefield Cadman.

OPERETTA Lelaivala, an operetta, written by Charles Wakefield Cadman was pre- sented by the glee clubs on April 21, in the Boucher gymnasium. Like much that is produced by Cadman, it is an Indian legend present- ed in native surroundings set to Indian music. There were eighteen prin- cipals in the cast, the choruses being composed of the glee clubs. Tryouts were used to determine the leads. The operetta is always the outstanding project of the entire school year for the glee clubs and octette. The proceeds are given to the music department to buy music and other equipment for the department. SENIOR PLAY The senior class of 1933, departing from the established custom in senior plays, presented the play Robin Hood by Owen Davis, based upon the classic folk story of Robin of Locksley, of Friar Tuck, that vile Sheriff of Nottingham, his kinsman, Guy of Gisborne, of King Richard, of good Sir Richard of the Lea, and his daughter, Lady Marian. It was the desire of the class to dream for awhile of chivalry and fair women, and to revel in rings and things and fine array. ROBIN HOOD Fifty-six ATHLETICS Play not for game; but for sport. Fifty- MR. POWELL Coach MISS SCHUDEL Coach ATHLETICS In the past few years athletics has come to be one of the most out- standing activities in our high school. A year after the gymnasium was completed, Mr. Ralph Powell came here to be the coach, and build bet- ter teams than we had ever had before. Previous to his coming, basketball had been about the only sport. However, Mr. Powell soon began football. Although the number of games we have won are far from many, our boys have been gaining the necessary experience and instruction to play the game. In the spring of his first year, the coach began baseball and track. The former has continued with much enthusiasm from both the players and fans. The latter, we regret, has not had many followers and at pres- ent is not catalogued among our sports. The boys are not the only ones who take part in athletics. The girls, under the physical director, Miss Helen Schudel, have organized into a girls ' athletic association. The advent of Miss Schudel brought girls ' bas- ketball, volley ball, soccer, archery, baseball, track, and tumbling, and a warm, enthusiastic interest of the girls for these sports. The athletic activities of our school are planned for the benefit of the mass of students, not a few. Regular classes are held each day for boys and girls, and a special noon period has been organized for those who re- main during the hour, and for those who do not play on the regular teams. It is the aim of the school to keep all forms of athletics on the highest plane possible.

FOOTBALL The Vikings of 1932-33 sailed into adventures without fear, meeting success and defeat without losing courage. Despite many handicaps, they were willing to meet opponents that far out-classed them. Their motto, Never say die, seemed to fit them. Valparaiso High School football team played a complete schedule. The players were not as experienced as some of the teams, however, this did not dampen the spirit that lured the team on. The one game that will linger long in the hearts and minds of the players and spectators is the Hammond Tech game. The score might not look like a victory, but the fact that Hammond had won all previous games by large margins and then nearly lost to Valpo was a defeat in itself. There was a terrific wind on the day of the game, and Valpo unfurled its sails to the limit. Punts were blown forward and backward, but Valpo always got the breaks. Hammond thought they had a sure victory, then Valpo came back and tied the score. When the final gun went off Ham- mond had nineteen points and Valpo eighteen. The only difference was that Hammond converted one of the points after a touchdown and Valpo had not. Plymouth gave way to the assault of the Vikings. This was an ex- pected victory because the Vikings handed them a defeat in 1931. Lowell received a like reception. Valpo stopped Davis and this meant that Lowell was stopped because he was the big boy of their team. Rensselaer should have been another victim, but somehow they slipped through and tied the score. This was Valpo ' s first out of town game. 7-3-3-7-8 Hip Sixty UO yards to go. The Varsity team was composed of the following: Powell, left end, made the first touchdown of the season. His pass snatching was out- standing, and he received honorable mention in one of the All-state teams. Keehn, left tackle, has taken part in athletics for four years. Barkley, diminutive left guard, was noted for playing in the backfield of the oppo- nents. Koble took care of the fellows who tried to come through center. He snapped the ball back the whole season, which speaks well for any player. Spooner, right guard, could scare anyone with his weird facial expressions. Jankowski filled the next gap as it never had been filled be- fore. What he did with the other team ' s backfield will long be remember- ed. Nielsen played right end. The brains of the team were left to Forney. He called the signals, and Baker, Lightcap, and Sievers came and toted the ball to places unknown. With the latter at full back and the two former at half, Valpo had a nifty little backfield. The reserve strength always makes the Varsity strong, and neither of these were exactly weaklings. No team is stronger than its reserve , was one of Rockne ' s great phrases. Those graduating are : Howard Powell, Harold Keehn, James Spooner, Adolph Nielsen, and Roland Sievers.

Here on the maple floor the Vikings are at home, for they have had more experience in basket- ball than in any other sport. One of the outstanding games was the Roosevelt, East Chicago, game. It was a few minutes before the starting gun, and Valpo was warming up. We saw ten well built, clean athletes racing under the basket, plink there goes one of Vincent Gray ' s shots swishing through the net. There goes another by Howard Powell. This was the way Valpo was to carry on through the whole season, sending the balls through the hoop one after another. This was to be the controlling factor that sent the Vikings on to Elkart to take part in the battle for the Northern Indiana Championship. The Elkart game made the Vikings famous over the entire state. For this was the first time that Valpo could claim title to the championship of Northern Indiana. The only teams Valpo failed to defeat were Hammond and Froebel, but just to prove that Valpo could beat them they did it in games following. It is only just, that we give individual honor to the first five that rep- resented the school so well. Harold Keehn, a former center, developed into one of the best for- wards Valpo ever had. He had a peculiar flip of the left hand that fooled even the best opponents. James Hetzel was rated the best defensive guard in the state. He piloted the team in excellent manner and his determined spirit helped to give the team courage when a crisis came. Clayton VINCENT GRAY Guard, I I I Points JAMES HETZEL Guard, 123 Points WILLIAM FORNEY Guard, 16 Points Sixty-two RAYMOND JANKOWSKI Center, 29 Points JAMES SPOONER Guard, 13 Points WILLIAM LIGHTCAP Forward, 13 Points Davidson, high point player and an able center, developed into splendid condition. Playing his first year on the varsity team he surpassed the other veteran players. Vincent Gray, our little speedy guard, possessed a deadly under-the-basket and long basket shooting eye. Vincent is a cool player and is the hard driving type. Howard Powell is a dependable for- ward and always came through with the points when they were needed. There on the bench is Coach Ralph Powell. He is a man highly rated, clean in sportsmanship with plenty of nerve. He believes his boys are capable of winning, and then he puts the kind of spirit behind them to send them on to victory. Much of the credit for this year ' s team goes to the coach.

S. reserve squad, from which most of next year ' s team must be drafted, won thirteen of twenty-two games during the 1932-33 season. They made a brilliant start of eight consecutive victories, but then went into a slump. The team that formed the strongest lineup con- sisted of William Forney and Howard Longshore, forwards ; Maurice Mead, center; Ralph Baker and Robert Koble, guards. After Koble and Forney were promoted to the varsity squad the re- serves did not do so well. Mahon, McBride, Suesse, Miller, and Tidholm carried on in their places. Maurice Mead, a freshman, took all honors for making the major part of the points. His average was seven points to every game played. There are great hopes for a varsity berth for Maurice next year. Koble and Forney follow next in the scoring rating making 75 and 71 points re- spectively.

Sixty-fo N. I. H. S. CHAMPIONSHIP The buffalo nickel was tossed into space by Referee Frank Helvie, Coach Mantz of Froebel shouted Heads , Coach Powell took the reverse side. The nickel fell, and after rolling from side to side came to a halt. Eager eyes saw that Valpo had won the toss. This meant that the Vikings would represent the Western division at Elkart. The Viking ' s defense worked exceptionally well. Powell was the in- dividual star of the game by scoring five baskets. Vincent Gray played a great game but was slightly injured and had to be taken out. When the end of the fourth quarter came, Valpo had 21 points to Elkart ' s 16. With this triumph, Valpo captured the Northern Indiana Championship for the first time in the history of the school. SECTIONAL TOURNEY It was expected that Valparaiso would win this tournament, but it was not expected that the final game would be with Morgan Township. Valpo came out with piling up the largest score against an opponent that was made in the entire state sectionals — Valparaiso, 72 ; Morgan, 8 ; thus winning the tournament. REGIONAL TOURNEY After a landslide victory in the sectional, the Vikings journeyed to the Gary regional with much confidence. They defeated LaPorte in a hard game which was closely contested throughout. The final score, 30-26 meant that Valparaiso and Brook would go into the finals. With almost super- human effort, the Vikings pulled themselves together ; and at the sound of the gun the game stood 28-26. For the first time in seventeen years, Valpo earned the right to go to the State. STATE TOURNEY The Vikings entered the tournament at the Butler Field House against rivals who were to be the State champions. Valpo held a lead through-out the first three quarters of the game and until the last four minutes of the final quarter. In spite of all efforts, the Martinsville quintette started to climb and the Vikings could not stop them. They tied the score and then stepped ahead. At the close a 23-20 score told the tale. This was the final chapter in 1932-33 basketball. Sixty-five NOONDAY LEAGUE CAPTAINS Row 1 Bottom: Robert Shedd, Gilbert Johnson, Lester Barkley, Charles Beach.

NOONDAY LEAGUE For several years basketball has been played, under the direction of Coach Powell, during the noon hour in order that boys, not able to be on the team that represents the school, could play. This year a noonday league was formed, and the noonday play was taken up in dead earnest . At first, volley ball was planned, but was soon given up and basketball started. The coach selected eight captains, irrespective of classes, who in turn chose seven boys. This made eight teams composed of eight boys each. The coach made a schedule in which each team played every other team once. There was enough time to run this schedule through twice. The first round ended in a win for Charles Ogden ' s team, and the second round ended in a tie between Adolph Nielsen ' s and Gilbert Johnson ' s team. When the tie was played off Johnson ' s team won.

TUMBLING Tumbling is an art that to some might seem to date back to days when men were monkeys. Everyone knows that monkeys are natural acrobats, and one would certainly think he were in a zoo if he saw the tumbling team of V. H. S. Dressed all in white they go through their acts, every move timed to the second. For if one boy should fail to do his particular part, a serious accident might take place. This team was so popular that it was asked by the leading organizations of the community to perform for them. Some of these were at the Masonic Temple, Elks, Moose Hall, American Legion, K. of C, and Odd Fellows. They also performed at various basketball games. GOLF If there is one sport in high school that does not get much attention, it is golf. However, V. H. S. has one of the finest teams in northern Indiana. Valpo entered the Western Division, held at Valparaiso Country Club with Hammond, Valpo, Emerson, and Horace Mann competing. Valpo was easy winner and journeyed to Michigan City the next week to meet the Red Devils who were Eastern Division champs and lost by a close score of 7 to 5.

BASEBALL 1932 The baseball season of 1932 was successful, as the local high school team won nine out of fifteen games played. The hardest games of the season were with Hammond, LaPorte, and Washington of East Chicago. The locals won five games out of eight on the Valpo diamond, and won four and lost three on foreign diamonds, which goes to show that the boys played better on their home grounds. The first nine consisted of: Robert Johnson, catcher; Robert Hum- phrey, pitcher; Thomas Gannon, first base; William Forney, second base; Raymon Engle, short stop ; Harry Johnson, third base ; Robert Ruge, left field ; James Hetzel, center field ; and Gilbert Johnson, right field.

G. A. A. The G. A. A. of Valparaiso High School was organized three years ago by Miss Schudel and members of the high school, when interscholastic competition was eliminated in all of the larger schools of the county. The purpose of the G. A. A. is to improve the health of the girls of the high school, create a greater love and knowledge of all sports, and to de- velop higher ideals. There are two types of members in the organization — active and asso- ciate. Those who have earned fifty or more points and have intentions of participating in other sports of the year are active ; those who have signi- fied their intentions of participating in various activities are only asso- ciate members. The officers of the association are : President, Elizabeth Arnold ; Vice- president, Mildred Seymour; Secretary, Lucille Gifford; Treasurer, Mildred Shideler. There are the managers of the various sports in addition to social manager, and scrapbook manager, comprising the G. A. A. Board. Awards are given to members who have earned 250 points or more. These awards are given as follows: 250 points — class numerals; 600 points — monogram; 1000 points — a sweater; and for each additional 500 points — a chevron. Every year the best all-round senior girl is selected by the non-senior members of the board and is presented with a silver cup with her name engraved upon it. This cup is then retained in the school. Last year the board ' s choice was Genevieve Smith. In fact our G. A. A. has meant so much to the girls since it was organized that we wonder how the girls sports ever functioned without it.

SOCCER The soccer season for all high school girls opened with about seventy- five signing up. After several get-to-gethers and testing for the different positions, Ann Maulsby, Thelma Wertman, Margaret Crisman, Mildred Shideler, Helen Quinn, and Elizabeth Arnold, were elected captains for practice teams. In the finals Arnold ' s team won over Maulsby ' s by a 2 -1 score. The girls now full of enthusiasm for their thrilling interclass tourna- ment organized their class teams, electing the following girls captains: Leilia A ' Neals, seniors; Lucille Gifford, juniors; Barbara Nell Salisbury, sophomores; Ann Maulsby, freshmen. After an extremely hard struggle with the freshmen, the seniors al- most lost their dignity when they met the sophomores in the final game. However, they won in an overtime game; the score being 2-1. The other scores were as follows: Seniors 4 Freshmen 2 Sophomores 2 . . . . Juniors It has previously been the custom to select an honorary varsity team composed of the most skillful soccer players, but this year two varsity teams were chosen by Miss Schudel and Ruth Sanford, soccer chairman. These two teams played the most skillful and interesting game of the en- tire season with team II winning by a score of 2-0. SOPHOMORE TEAM Row 1 Bottom: Anna Cheney.

Because of such a large number reporting, the girls were divided into A and B groups. Each group then met and chose the following captains: A group, Maxine McNeely, Margaret Tofte, Jeanne Wilson, Mildred Austin, and Ann Maulsby. The B group is as follows: Barbara Nell Salisbury, Lois Andres, Margaret Schramm, and Matha Pomeroy. A tournament was arranged so that each team met every other team. In the A group Maxine McNeely ' s team won, and Matha Pomeroy ' s won in the B group. In interclass basketball, each class chose a captain, whose duty with assistance of Miss Schudel and Bettie Wark, basketball chairman, it was to choose the girls best fitted for their respective positions. The seniors won an easy victory over the sophomores, and the juniors had no trouble in running up a high score on the freshmen.

PLAY DAY The Valparaiso High School Girls ' Athletic Association sponsored a Basketball Play Day on Saturday, February 18. The six schools that par- ticipated were Emerson, Froebel, Horace Mann of Gary, Riley of South Bend, Goshen, and Valparaiso. The athletic day began about 9 :30 a. m. and ended at 3 :30. All points were totaled, and awards given to the winners ; and by four o ' clock everyone was starting home, the richer in friends and the happier for a day profitably spent. The activities, besides basketball, included bowling, ping-pong, shuffle-board, horseshoes and various basketball tests. PLAY DAY Row 1 Bottom : Elizabeth Arnold.

We find many reporting for this sport because it can be played by girls of limited strength and endurance. It does not require much skill ; however, as in everything we attempt, skill has its place. When technique is developed in volley ball, and skilled players get together, it is a vigorous and thrilling activity. Scoops, chest, overhead returns rightly placed, and smashing serves are difficult to match. This year there were so many girls out for volley ball that it was nec- essary to choose nine captains. The following were chosen : Catherine Jungjohan, Ruth Powell, Gertrude Davidson, Polly Wheeler, Cora Bastel, Roberta Koble, Helen Quinn, Ann Maulsby, and Grace Fillwock. An elimination tournament was then scheduled. Many exciting and interesting games were played.

Seventy-three SWAN PYRAMID TUMBLING On March 3, 1930, the high school girl tumblers met in the gymna- sium for the first time. Forty-five girls enrolled, and as there was a per- fect attendance, much was accomplished. Besides the animation tumbling provides, it strengthens the muscles and aids the balancing power. Each year a different leader is selected from the G. A. A. In 1930 Lucille Berrier was chairman, in 1931 a tumbling committee of five was selected. They were : Helen Quinn, chairman ; Elizabeth Arnold, Leilia A ' Neals, Lucille Berrier, and Frances Miller. In 1932 Leilia A ' Neals was chairman, and this year Eleanor Crisman holds the position. In order to have advancement and in order that the beginning girls may get a fair start, the stunts are divided into three parts, according to their difficulty. The divisions are : Beginning, intermediate, and advanced. In the division of beginning stunts are : Backward and forward rolls, hand stand with support, stomach balance, human ball, and other simple stunts. For the intermediate tumblers are the following : Hand stand, div- ing, back bend, head stand, cartwheels, and fish flop. In the advanced work elbow stand, chest roll, walking on hands, flip, diving, swan stand, and many other difficult stunts are listed. Although this is practically a new sport and requires much skill and practice, those who are interested are not daunted by the hard work. Each year 75 to 100 girls report for this sport. The junior high school girls are always invited to join the high school group and take part in the May Festival. For four years now the tumbling season has thrived and grown and is expanding every year, and those who have participated have received many compliments. These reach back to Miss Schudel, the patient and en- thusiastic promoter of tumbling. PYRAMID Seventy-four ARCHERY Mildred Shideler. Ann Maulsby. Maxine McNeely, Lucille Gifford. Bonnie Mahon. ARCHERY The newest, most fascinating of all sports drew a larger number of girls than could be accommodated with the limited equipment accumulated with its short existence. In the tournament, the Valpo Round was used which consists of 18 arrows at 15 yards, 30 yards, and 40 yards. All the girls in the archery tournament, twenty-five in all, made their required points. The five girls making the highest scores were : Hits Score Maxine McNeely ....41 175 Bonnie Mahon 38 171 Mildred Shideler 33 137 Ruth Sanford 22 96 Lucille Gifford 21 95 NOONDAY LEAGUE This year a noonday league was organized to provide entertainment in the form of shuffle-board, ping-pong, and horseshoe contests. At the finals of the shuffle-board tournament, Dorothy Hagen and Frances Rader won over Ethel Johnson and Wanda Paika by a score of 144 to 139. Later the class tournament was played with the juniors winning over the seniors in a fast game by a score of 104 to 35. The teams consisted of: Freshmen, Helen Rowland, Mary Durand; sophomores, Lillianruth Ferrell, Cora Bastel ; juniors, Frances Rader, Audrey Miller ; seniors, Leilia A ' Neals, Marjorie Claudon.

BASEBALL Spring brought the long anticipated baseball season to the girls of the Valparaiso G. A. A. Besides the zest for the game itself, the girls en- joy baseball because it takes them out of doors. After the captains and teams were chosen, a tournament was played. Every contest was a hard fought battle, thus making it interesting to the very end. It was the aim of Miss Schudel and Mary Frances Moreland, chair- man, to promote entertainment and also, to give better knowledge of the great national sport. TRACK The last sport of the school year is one of the most profitable sports because it certainly takes perfect co-ordination of all muscles. After a few practices, the tests were taken in dashes, broad jump, high jump, and basketball, baseball, and shot-put throws. Miss Schudel and Lucille Berrier, chairman, arranged a meet with Liberty Center and Morgan High Schools, May 2. The events and their winners were: 50 yard dash — L. Berrier, Val- paraiso; 75 yard dash — M. Shideler, Valparaiso; Broad jump— H. Quinn, Valparaiso; High jump — M. Shideler, Valparaiso; Basketball throw — H. Fisher, Valparaiso ; Baseball throw — Anderson, Morgan ; Shot-put — Blastick of Morgan; Group Relay — Valparaiso. Thus the total points amounted to Valparaiso, 48 ; Morgan, 17 ; Liberty, 7.

The high school orchestra, with Louise Goddard at the piano, struck up the march which denoted the approach of the Queen ' s procession. First came the two tall and stately heralds, Bettie Wark and Charlotte Lemster, in outfits of satin and gold; the court maids, Marjorie Clifford, Autumn Thatcher, Dorothy Dean, Genevieve Smith, Mary Louise Wilson, Helen Cobb, Hazel Peterson, and Catherine Clifford, dressed in delicate colored gowns of rainbow hues. The May Queen, Rosemary Blaese, who was preceded by two spritely flower girls dressed in blue, Nancy Lee Fabing and Mary Lois Spindler, and small but stalwart, Edward Wark, the crown bearer, was followed by Helen Filgiano, her maid of honor. Carrying the train of the fair Queen were two little tots of exact size, Carol Arden Crumpacker and Priscilla Palmer. Before ascending the throne, the Queen was crowned by Super- intendent of Schools, Roy B. Julian. In contrast, one of the prettiest exhibitions, the wreath dance, an in- terpretive number, was awe inspiring. Then came the four speckled danc- ing giraffes. Japanese girls in bright kimonas and parasols made a pretty showing. An old fashioned barn dance with callers and two fiddlers join- ed in the fun. Concluding the program was the Maypole dance, one of the prettiest, in which the girls in pastel colored, ruffled dresses and tiny hats were joined by the bell boys and wove around the maypole with its colored ribbons.

OUR AWARDS VALENIAN AWARD For three consecutive years the publishers of the Valenian have en- tered their respective annuals in the contest for rating of annuals by the I. H. S. Press Association. This association holds an annual convention at Franklin College where the awards are presented. Our Valenian of 1932 received first place in Class III division. The Valenian received a rating of 80 points out of a possible number of 100. For this, we received a silver cup as an award. BEACH AWARD Each year this award is given by the Beach Jewelry Company in memory of George F. Beach, who was a graduate of V. H. S., to the boy who has shown the most real school spirit for promoting high ideals. Robert Wise was honored by receiving the 1932 award. VICTOR TILTON AWARD Mr. and Mrs. Ira C. Tilton, in memory of their son, Victor, whose tragic death occurred on August 8, 1930, present each year a medal pur- chased with the income from a sum of money, which Victor had earned. This award is given to the boy who is outstanding in athletics, and has always been won by those taking part in baseball, which was Victor ' s favorite sport. The award was won by Robert Johnson last year. KAPPA PRIZE The Kappa Prize is given each year by the local chapter of the Tri Kappa Sorority to the senior girl who has shown the most outstanding qualities in attitude, friendliness, and co-operativeness. A committee of three teachers selects the girl on whom this prize is conferred. Dorothy Dean won the award last year. DELTA AWARD The De lta Award, a ten dollar gold piece, is presented each year by the Delta Sorority in Valparaiso. This award was given to Mildred Shideler last year. Special consideration is given to those girls who are most interested in wholesome athletic activities. QUILL AND SCROLL Last year Valparaiso High School was granted a charter by the Quill and Scroll, honorary journalistic society. Both our publications, The Valpost and Valenian, had to be accepted by this national organization before becoming members. Kathryn Harris and Oscar Froberg were the 1933 members admitted. Eighty SERVICE AWARDS AWARD DAY For the first time in the history of V. H. S., portions of two days were given over to presenting awards to students who merited this honor. The above pictures show some of the monograms and letters given. It has long been the custom to give athletic distinction, but never before was special service in other activities recognized in this way.
