PaM ' o L ' rarj, Valparaiso Public Library FOREWORD 1ELVING into musty tem- ples, incense burning, oblique-eyed figures slip noiselessly past, a soft metallic gong echoes — China speaks ! Guided by the ancient wisdom of the Chinese masters, the 1935 VALENIAN wishes to portray a comparison in the learning of China ' s sages to that of our mod- ern education. These aged adages adapt themselves strikingly to our present school life. From queer, sing-song phrases come words of intelligence, humor, and character insight. China speaks again through the leaves of this book both in words and pictures to you. Allen County Public Libiaiy 900 Webster Street J PO Box 2270 } Fort Wayne, IN 46K01-?270 DEDICATION T has never withheld in- struction from any, even from those who come for it with the smallest offering. Education — Our School! — stands supreme and second to none giving knowledge to those who come for it with the smallest of- fering. The Senior class of 1935 is proud to dedicate this VALENIAN to Education and Our School. May we who have benefited by the ad- vantages continue to advance in knowledge and the high standards set forth.

Valparaiso High School The Valparaiso High School was erected in 1927 and is one of the finest buildings in the state. Its equipment and laboratories are modern in every respect. This institution is maintained in a most excellent way, and its beauty has been enhanced by extensive landscaping of the grounds. To the rear of the school building is the Boucher gymnasium, large and well built, which also serves as an auditorium for the high school. The work is done, hut how no one can see. ' Tis this that maizes the power not cease to be. B 1 ■- ■ ilfc J - .J«- GRACE SALMON Office Clerk Eight SCHOOL BOARD How far reaching is the moral excellence that flows from the constant man. MR. C.

Her pleasing personality and charm endeared her to the faculty and the entire student body with whom she came in contact. Mrs. Thomas had been connected with Valparaiso High School as an instructor of Latin and German for the last thirteen years. The German Club, which she sponsored, held memorial services in her memory on Monday, Decem- ber 10. Thirteen In the society of books, the superior man collects his friends. LIBRARY OF V. H. S.

In addition, the school gives the students the opportunity of reading many of the best magazines. This room is one of the principal study halls.

Two members of this class, Adolph Jankowski and Carroll Sheets, have made unusual showing in athletics. Many names from this group appear in the musical organizations of our school.

At the beginning of the new semester, forty-seven boys and girls came into Valparaiso High School bringing the total enrollment up to 591. Since there is no mid-year commencement, this group will, during the four years, be absorbed by the 1934 class and the fall class of 1935. This group like all other underclassmen is unorganized.

Then the activity sets in, mystery, identifying pictures, deciding theme and covers, signing contracts, con- structing dummies, pasting, balancing budgets, crying for typewriters, mounting pictures, drawing pictures, all present their worries in the busy workroom during the eighth period. The money to finance this project is obtained from the senior candy store, senior play, subscriptions for Valenian, and class dues. Gradually the creases disappear from foreheads, smiles break forth. The object of so much activity takes form. The Valenian at last is com- pleted. JOURNALISTS AT WORK Through writ- ing do we attempt to represent our school.

No more than twelve members are on any staff. Each position on the staff is given by appoint- ment and according to the individual ' s aptitude. During the year, each class puts out eight of the sixteen issues. The fall staff must sell advertising, subscriptions, and do all the necessary work for the organization of the paper. The spring class takes up the work of the fall staff, sells additional advertising, and completes the collections for subscriptions and advertising. The Valpost has a circulation of 384 subscriptions within the school. Twenty copies are exchanged with schools over the state. Our school paper is entered in the state and national contests, always ranking high in both. The paper is not a money making proposition. The 1933-34 staff closed the year with $4.50 surplus. The subscription price is fifty cents a year. Mrs. E. R. Foor is the sponsor of the Valpost.

SENIOR PLAY Peals of laughter arise, yet tears as Mary Ann Simmonds conies to tea in her Sunday-go-to-meetin ' dress. Comedy results from Betsey Scrog- gin ' s passion for the hired man, and Esther Schmidt ' s desire for creating new hats and gossip. Pathos — fun — love — life — laughter were intermingled in the largest project of this class — the senior play called Golden Days given March 22. All seniors entered enthusiastically into a horse racing ticket contest and canvassed the entire city. Attractive varied colored posters were placed in the schools and about the city. Mr. Conkling, English and dra- matics instructor, directed the play. A profit of $88.65 was realized and applied upon Valenian expenses. OPERETTA Live Pirates! Cruel pirates! Pirates who roamed the musical sea were portrayed this year through the Pirates of Penzance , a Gilbert and Sullivan production. The greatest project of the combined glee clubs is the operetta. The Pirates of Penzance , given six years ago, was again staged because of numerous requests. The novel costuming and staging added greatly to the effectiveness of the musical success. Mrs. Mary Myers, sponsor of both glee clubs, directed the play. The profit from this project is always given to the music department. OPERETTA Joseph Sheeks, James Bell.

It was dedicated to, and named Boucher gymnasium in honor of the late Chauncey Watson Boucher. The building has a seating capacity of nearly 3000 and possesses a regulation size basketball court, with the dimensions seventy-seven by fifty feet. The gym has both boys ' and girls ' locker rooms and excellent gym- nastic equipment. Under the south tier of seats is the manual arts department — every corner of the building being properly used.

The building can also be easily transformed into an auditorium for many occasions. At the west end is a well built stage, on which many performances take place yearly. Such festivities as the Christmas Pageant and May Festival are al- ways associated with this building. The juniors and seniors think of it, too, in connection with the most outstanding social event of the year — the Junior-Senior Prom. This building is in use practically every hour in the school day and many an evening finds it a scene of school activity. Here every Saturday during the school year the children of the grades enjoy supervised play. V. H. S. HARDWOOD Fifty-i FOOTBALL (VARSITY) Line: George Miller, Howard Brown, Charles Hoover, Robert Koble, Jack Fulton, Harold Kraft, Marvin Carlson. Backfield: Courtney Holt, Howard Longshore, William Forney, Arthur Smith. FOOTBALL Despite the extreme heat, about two weeks before school, thirty-five grid aspirants answered the call of coach Ralph Powell. Nine varsity men returned to the squad this season : Marvin Carlson, Harold Kraft, Robert Koble, Howard Brown, George Miller, Courtney Holt, Arthur Smith, Howard Longshore, and William Forney. The guard positions needed to be filled. Jack Fulton and Charles Hoover completed the strong lineup. After days of getting in shape, lugging the pigskin, blocking, tackling, passing, and transforming loose summer fat to hard muscle, the Viking gridders broke open their eight game schedule on September 22, when they trounced Rensselaer 18-0. With three victories in the bag, Rensselaer, Crown Point, and Ply- mouth, the Powellmen dropped their first homecoming tilt to the Slicers of LaPorte 33-19. Following this surprise, the Green and White encountered a tough foe in Jeff of Lafayette, losing 36-0. These two successive set-backs enraged the Vikings, so when the Hobart Brickies came to Brown Field the following week, the V. H. S. pig- skinners defeated the Clay City ball-toters 21-7. Hammond Tech, proved to be the Vikings ' next enemy. Both teams played bang-up ball, but the Tigers held the Powellmen to a 7-7 deadlock.

The Valpo High boys who will never don another V. H. S. football suit are Carlson and Miller, ends ; Kraft, Brown, and Ridgway, tackles ; Fulton and Hoover, guards ; Koble, center ; Longshore, Forney, and Dye, backfield men. Underclassmen who saw service in some of the frays are: Witner, Pierce, Shook, Shaw, Wells, Swelstead, Kline, McCann, Jankowski, Master- son, and Thorgren.

VARSITY BASKETBALL After the football season had passed, basketball, king of Indiana ' s spoils, entered V H. S. gymnasium. Coach R. Powell had fine material this year: Robert Koble, William Forney, Howard Longshore, George Miller, Courtney Holt, and Arthur Smith returned from last year ' s first team. About sixty boys responded to Coach ' s first whistle for basketball players. After several of the usual heart breaking cuts, and days of prac- tice, we found George Miller and William Forney at forwards, Robert Koble at the pivot post, and Wallace Blake and Courtney Holt pairing up as fast breaking guards, for a clicking first five. The understudies, for the present time, were Howard Longshore, John Shaw, Brice McCann, Adolph Jankowski, and Arthur Smith. November 23 found the Vikings ready to plunge into the first game of the schedule, a non-conference tilt with North Judson, who took a 23-19 defeat. LaPorte and Wheeler then came along; both were drubbed by the Vikings ' fast working quint. The three game winning streak was halted when the Green and White travelled to Hammond to indulge in their first conference fray. The Wildcats clawed the Powellmen for a 36-31 win. To more than even things up, the Vikings, in the next two games with Roose- velt of E. C. and Whiting, handed each of their opponents a good whipping. General Rollins and crew invaded the Valpo gymnasium ; they caught Robert Koble sick and unable to play — consequently a 25-21 loss for V. H. S. The Vikings then journeyed to Elkhart to put a 43-30 victory in the bag. Next on the schedule proved to be the Froebel Blue Devils ; they emerged victorious 27-21. The Valpo lads then pulled themselves together and beat Emerson, (at the time, league leaders) Horace Mann, and Hammond for three consecutive wins. The next engagement was with the Ruff Riders cf Roosevelt. The Vikings met a newly inspired team and took a 24-17 John Shaw — junior, center, 5 points. William Forney — senior, guard, 156 points. Courtney Holt— junior, guard, 66 points. Brice McCann— junior, forward, 3 points. Arthur Smith— junior, guard, 7 points. Sixty-two Robert Koble — senior, center, 224 points. George Miller — senior, forward, 44 points. Wallace Blake — junior, guard, 105 points. Adolph Jankowski — sophomore, forward, 41 points. Howard Longshore: — senior, forward, 9-5 points. defeat. The Oilers were the next stone in the Vikings ' path. Whiting, which proved to be a pebble, was easily tossed aside, suffering a 34-19 trouncing. Along came Washington E. C. and hit the Vikings for a 36-28 win — this game was later forfeited to Valpo because of an ineligibility on the Senator ' s team. Froebel whipped the Powellmen again in a thrilling 22-21 battle. The Norsemen then came to Boucher gymnasium to avenge that former blow by the Vikings, but to no avail. The Valpo High boys repeated their former performance for another 28-26 triumph. The fol- lowing night, the Powellmen were Michigan City ' s guests, and the Imps were adjudged victors, 23-22. The Vikings ended the list with wins over Horace Mann and Winamac. The schedule was completed; the Vikings won 13 and lost 6 for a successful season. TOURNAMENTS Following the Winamac game, Mentor Powell piloted the Vikings through a week of steady practice in readiness for the sectional. This year the predictions were that no one team predominated over the other schools ; the forecasts were correct; however the more experienced, and better coached Vikings went through the tourney to be crowned champs. Valpo in the final game with Chesterton won by a score of 32-25. After showing supremacy in the sectional tourney, the Vikings put m a week of intensive practice for the regional. The locals had to meet Michigan City at LaPorte and were defeated 27-18. V. H. S. basketball for 1934-1935 was at an end. The boys who so faithfully executed their part in putting Valparaiso High School basket- ball on a high plane, and who played their last high school cage ball are : George Miller. Howard Longshore. Robert Koble, and William Forney. He who gains a victory over himself is pow- erful.

JUNIOR VIKINGS The Junior Vikings, although not having a very successful season, exhibited to Valpo fans that they will furnish a wealth of material for coming V. H. S. teams. All the members of the team have at least one or two years of competition remaining. Several freshmen, who saw service during the schedule, appear to be likely prospects for first ten material during the 1935-36 season. The five who played most of the season and will make a determined fight for the first five berths are Campbell Kane, lanky center ; Ketchell Crisp and Edgar Witner, rangy forwards ; Carroll Sheets and Eugene Shook, fast breaking guards, who have an eagle eye from any position on the court. Some of the young scrappy aspirants who, due to lack of experience, will probably see reserve service again next year are : Robert Kitchen, William Wells, Chester Phillips, Elroy St. Clair, Ro- land Sheets, Joseph Curtis, Kenneth Rhoda, Ralph Chester, Ernest Thor- gren, Campbell Holt, William Windle, and Leonard Kraft. The leading scorers for the second team were Carroll Sheets with 114 points ; Edgar Witner, 69 ; and Campbell Kane, 61.

BASEBALL 1934 The ' 34 baseball season was one of the best for V. H. S. in many years. The Vikings played nine games, winning six and losing three for a 667 percentage. Washington and Hebron were the only teams to defeat the Powellmen ; the Senators taking a double bill from the Vikings. Five first team boys from the ' 33 squad returned to the diamond. They were Gilbert Johnson, Ralph Suesse, William Forney, Robert Koble, and Courtney Holt. The vacant positions were ably filled by Howard Longshore playing the hot corner position; George Miller, the initial sack; Ralph Baker, the right garden ; and Charles Hoover, wearing the war togs. The substitutes who played in several games were George Butterfield, shortstop; John Shaw, shortstop; Eugene Pinkerton, catcher; Herbert Claudon, third base; George Kriston, left field.

TUMBLING 1935 For the past five years the high school tumblers have tried to form a tumbling team that would well represent their school in any meets or exhibitions in which they might participate. Finally through the efforts of Mr. J. B. Brown, coach, and the boys ' enthusiastic attitude toward this minor sport, they have moulded a fine team, one of the best in the state. This year the team had many requests to give exhibitions but were unable to answer all the requests due to a limited schedule and other scholastic functions. Some of the performances made this season were at the Knights of Columbus, American Legion, Wanatah, Washington, E. C, LaPorte, Hebron, and between the halves of the Emerson-Valpo High basketball game, and University-Evansville game. In an exhibition held at LaPorte March 28, the V. H. S. team easily carried off the tumbling honors against such schools as Notre Dame and Purdue. The team consists of Clarence Swank, sophomore captain; Ted Makovsky, junior; Francis Spencer, junior; Myron Basinger, senior; Fir- man Dickinson, sophomore; Lloyd Dunn, senior; Jack Goodman, junior; Yeara Musselman, junior; Ralph Osborne, junior; Ed Pratt, junior; Howard Erea, junior; Charles Beach, senior . 1934 GOLF This was one of the most successful golf seasons the team has ever had. Of the seven matches played only one was lost, and this to Riley of South Bend in the N. I. H. S. C. championship playoff. On May 19 the team placed fourth in a field of 40 schools in a state tourney held at Indi- anapolis. 1 There 4 There 51 2 There 5 Here 1 0 Here 2 Here 8 There April 14 Valpo 11 LaPorte April 25 Valpo 8 Riley, S.

Again under the able direction of Coach Powell and eight picked cap- tains, nearly seventy high school boys took part in the league. The end of the first round found Harrison Baker ' s team heading the list with an .857 standing. Wallace Wilson ' s group won the last round and there resulted a four way tie for second position. Then in the championship game, Baker trounced Wilson 20-6. Following this game a heated tourney was played. James Daly and Charles Beach won their first two games, and met in the finals. Beach led at the half 9 to 7 but Daly eked out a 16 to 15 victory in the final minutes of play. In the last basketball game of the year, Daly beat the high school second team, which shows that they were really a strong quint. THE STANDINGS FIRST ROUND Won Lost Pet.

GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION In the Valparaiso High School the Girls ' Athletic Association, under the sponsorship of Miss Schudel, is five years old. It was created to advance girls ' athletics, improve the girls ' health, offer recreation for the girls, and to bring the girls into closer contact. The fact that there are now 140 members proves that the organization has accomplished its purpose. G. A. A. is based upon a point system. Points are given for participat- ing in the various activities, being on winning teams, being captains, chairmen, or officers. These points are recorded and at the end of the year awards are given as follows : numerals for 250 points, monograms for 600 points, sweater ' s for 1500 points, and chevrons for additional 500 points. The officers of the G. A. A. are Margaret Crisman, president; Lois Wharton, vice-president; Dorothy Goddard, secretary; and Helen Row- land, treasurer. These officers are assisted by the chairmen of each sport. G. A. A. CUP Each year a cup is given to the girl who is the outstanding athlete for the year. The girl ' s name is placed upon the cup and it is left on exhibition in the high school. For the year 1933-34, the honor was bestowed upon Mildred Shideler. She was chosen for her skill, sports- manship, leadership, and popularity with the girls. MILDRED SHIDELER Winner of G. A. A. cup for 1934 Sixty-eight dom makes the ircome his first s only a sec- i.

A. sponsors many social activities during the year. The soccer roast starts the year ' s athletic social whirl and is held at the close of the soccer season. At the close of the basketball season comes the club ' s only formal affair, the basketball banquet. The girls close the school year with their beach party which is held during the last week of school at Johnson ' s Beach. Another major event of G. A. A. is the May Festival for which the most popular and attractive high school girl is voted Queen. This Festival is an annual affair and is accepted most favorably by the public.

NOONDAY LEAGUE The noonday league, an innovation into G. A. A., was sponsored for the benefit of those girls unable to go home at noon and for those unable to participate in active sports. The noonday sports are numerous and include shuffleboard, badminton, ping-pong, horseshoe, and tetherball. While these sports are mostly in- dividual and require little action, they are a source of great entertainment for the girls. Those who were outstanding and winners were the Bastel twins in horseshoe, Laura Mae Conley and Christine Lindall in badminton after school ; Allene Johnson and Cora Bastel in badminton at noon ; Pauline Biggs in ping-pong.

SOCCER The soccer season started September 17 with ninety girls enrolled. Teams were chosen at once by drawing names from a hat and the first tournament got under way. Six teams played in this tournament and a new system of playing was introduced, first the six teams played each other, then the losers played games with losers and winners played winners, the tournament being finished by the winner of the winners meeting the winner of the losers. Captain Margaret Crisman ' s team showed superior skill and easily won this first tournament. The class tournament proved more interesting and the teams were better matched. The best players, picked by Chairman Bettylou Nichols and Miss Helen Schudel, represented their classes. The juniors met and easily defeated the sophomores in the first game, but the seniors had to fight hard to defeat the determined young freshmen. The climax came when the juniors met the seniors in the final game. It was a close game, but finally the seniors came through victorious. WINNING TOURNAMENT TEAM Row 1 Bottom: Betty Bufnngton.

Eleven teams were chosen and play started at once, the first games being played on November 21. In this first tournament, every team met every other team and the team credited with the most victories became the winner. The race was very close. The last week of the tournament Captain Mona Jane Wilson led her team, number VIII, to victory with Team III running a close second. Although the girls had no special time to practice, their games revealed unusual skill. The girls outstanding for their skill in serving and volleying were gathered for class teams, and the class tournament was on. The freshmen struggled hard against the juniors, but had to accept a defeat of 46-29. Likewise the sophomores were downed by the seniors. In the last game the rival upper classmen met, but, once again, the mighty seniors were victorious when they defeated the juniors 54-41. WINNING TOURNAMENT TEAM Row 1 Bottom: Margaret MacFarlane.

BASKETBALL Basketball season, with its usual excitement and fun, got under way on January 9. Chairman Ann Maulsby started the first tournament at once. The teams of the first tournament were divided into two groups, A and B, the A ' s being the more experienced players. Each group played off a tournament. These games afforded much excitement and amusement and finally A Team 1, with Captain Doris Lutz, and B Team 2, with Captain Helen Bartz, came out winners. The second tournament was a Gang Tournament, something new for G. A. A. The girls organized themselves into gangs and games were played off. The winner of this tournament was the Fraternity gang with Betty- lou Nichols, captain. The final and most important was the Class Tournament. Again the best players were chosen to represent their classes and play began as the juniors met the seniors and the sophomores met the freshmen. The upper classmen came off winners and met in the final game. The seniors were again victorious under Captain Mona Jane Wilson ' s leadership. SENIOR TEAM Margaret Crisman, Janet Stoner, Mona Jane Wilson, Roberta Koble, Bettylou Nichols. The senior team outplayed all other classes.
