The art work, the photography, the arrangement of material, all factors harmonize to fit in with the modern trend, yet there are no ideas employed which have not been tried previously and found sound. This is in keeping with the policy of our school to develop only along rational lines. Thus, through improvements in the VALENIAN, we strive to give evidence of the advancements made in educational method. DEDICATION E, the Senior class of 1936, dedicate this VALEN- lAN to the hearty spirit of progress that char- acterizes the students and admin- istration of our school. We are thankful that we have been edu- cated in an institution truly mod- ern in equipment and method, yet hesitant in its adoption of radical practices unless they have been proved of value. Since this policy has kept Val- paraiso High School in the ranks of the most advanced educational groups thus far, it is our hope and belief that the maintenance of this position will be made possible by continued adherance to the prin- ciple. THE COURI An ART MOTIF In this era the trend of all style is modern, and modern photogra- phy, which has proved so successful in the com- mercial world, has been employed in the 1936 VALENIAN in accord- ance with the motif of progress. This type of pho- tography combines sim- plicity and beauty for a striking effect. Con- trasting colors, shad- ows, lines, angles, and geometric shapes are found in modern camera studies. Considerable work and effort are embodied in these photographs. NORTH TOWER Sct-ups for stagcs were built in great detail. These were cut from black, gray, and white paper, and perspective and depth were obtained by placing them in progressive positions. The photographs were taken as a light was focused upon the stages — thus producing the shadows in the background. As to the caricatures, the student-artist used a ping-pong ball, painted upon it the facial features and added cotton hair, paper noses, ears, and glasses. Book models were made from small pieces of wood covered with paper. The replica of a desk was constructed of thin wood, painted and shellacked. The frontispiece was not only designed and set up by the art editor but was photographed and enlarged by him. THE SCHOOL BOOK I CONTENTS BOOK I THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION C LASSES GRADUATES UNDERCLASSES STUDY PERIOD IN ROOM 102 ADMINISTRATION President of School Board Mr. I. C. Tilton, president of the school board, is a prom- inent local attorney. His sound reasoning is a valuable asset to the school adminis- tration. MR. 1. C. TILTON President VALPARAISO THE SCHOOL BOARD The controlling power of the Valparaiso City Schools is vested in the school board composed of three prominent citizens : Mr. McKay, Rev. Wharton, and Mr. Tilton. It is their work to employ the personnel, to equip the schools, to determine the length of the school year, and to manage the schools in general. The execution of their decisions they entrust to the city superintendent of schools, Mr. Julian. MR. J. J. McKAY Treasurer Treasurer op School Board Mr. .J. J. McKay is the youngest member in service and the treasurer of the school board triumvirate. His success in the publishing business has been duplicated in his connection with the school. Secretary of School Board Rev. C. W. Wharton, secre- tary of the board, has been the respected pastor of the First Presbyterian Church for the last thirteen years. His service of three terms on the school board is greatly appreciated. REV. C. W. WHARTON Secretary Eight HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING THE SCHOOL Valparaiso High School students have as their daily laboratory one of the finest educational buildings in Indiana, a school complete for every need. The building itself is in the same perfect condition it was when erected eight years ago. The grounds and athletic fields meanwhile have been greatly beautified. The excellent upkeep is the handiwork of the hardworking caretakers. Office Clerk Grace Helmer has been of- fice clerk of Valparaiso High School since her graduation in 1928. Her efficient help is of great service to the admin- istration. Last spring matri- mony called — result, a Mrs. adorns her name. GRACE HELMER Office Clerk MR. ROY B. JULIAN. Superintendent ROY B. JULIAN — State Teachers ' College ; Butler College, A. B.; Indiana University, A. M.; gradu- ate work. University of Chicago. Agreeable, fre- quent assembly speaker, paternal interest in all students. While the VALENIAN is published by the senior class, it is the pride of all the boys and girls in Valparaiso Schools. The school history which it records is Valparaiso school history. The pictures which adorn its pages are pictures of our friends. The youngest pupils in the system look for- ward to the time when they can help build this book. We value this publica- tion not so much for its intrinsic value as for the many things it symbolizes. Days of play, days of work, hours of happiness, hours of anxiety, are all called to mind as we turn the pages. Our most sincere wish is that the staff had as much pleasure in creat- ing the book as the rest of us will have in possessing it. Roy B. Julian, Superintendent Four years of association with these buildings have endeared them to our hearts. They seem a second home to us, for here are the scenes of our early steps to- ward knowledge of hfe. SOUTH ENTRANCE AND DRIVE Ten HOMER M. 3ESSEE— Math- ematics, Valparaiso Uni- versity, B.

JESSEE, Principal If I were a youth now, I would develop my abilities to their fullest capacities, to be in readiness for the opportunities that are to be presented in the not distant future. Millions of new type homes, millions of new and finer autos, new roads, new railway equipment, improved fami machinery, new factories, and various other new types of construction must take the place of the old and obsolete. Air conditioning will be perfected ; rural electrification will be completed; in short, this country must and 11 be rebuilt in the next fifty years. What an opportunity for the young man or young woman who is prepared ! Homer M. Jessee, Principal Although these structures are comparatively new, and possess all the facilities of a modern school, their utilitarian and archi- tectural stability lends them an atmosphere imparted usually by time and tradition alone.

AUGUST BUCCI Shortly before the close of school in the spring of 1935, the students of Valparaiso were shocked to learn that death had deprived them of two dear friends. A tragic grade-crossing accident cost the lives of Mr. August Bucci, instructor of instrumental music, and Helen Rowland, one of the most promising of his pupils. Mr. Bucci, only 37 years of age, led the Valparaiso High School Band to district and state championships and to favorable showing in the Na- tional Contest. He was well trained, having had practical experience as player, director, and composer. Previously he had been first district chair- man and secretary-treasurer of the Indiana High School Band and Or- chestra Association . He had just been elected president of that group. Helen Rowland would have graduated with our class, had fate not intervened. She was a happy girl, with a warm and vital smile. She was talented as a pianist. She had just been awarded first division in the Dis- trict Contest at LaPorte and second division in the State Contest at Evans- ville. She was active in sports. As a member of the Girl Reserves and as treasurer of the G. A. A. she made many friends. Thus it is to two vibrant personalities no longer with us, one a friend who pointed the way to appreciation of art, the other a girl who smiled and sang, yet had an insight of life, that we dedicate this page.

The sophomores have the advantage over the other underclassmen in experience and famil- iarity with school functions. The class is unorganized and is composed of 155 members, 78 girls and 77 boys. There is no sponsor and there are no class functions. Already the sophomores show initiative and co-operation in the general school activities. Many of the members have been outstand- ing in their work. In music, especially band and orchestra work, the soph- omores made great contribu- tions. Those in- terested in music are Hel- en Mae Ulsh, Mariangeneen Helvie, Francis Jones, Donna Shurr, and Mark Sink. Jean Ragsdale won recogni- tion for un- usual work in art. In the realm of sports William Windle, Roland Sheets, Ernest Thorgren,John Dodd, Camp- bell Holt, and Elroy St. Clair were leading. The sopho- more class is large and the members com- prise a domi- nant part of the various school organi- zations. Not a few of the sophomores consistently made the honor roll and several of them held offices in club work or represented the class in other ways. All of them are willing to help the freshmen in every possible manner, and they are greatly respected by the upper classmen for their attitude and accomplishments. The sophomore class will be the largest graduating class so far in the history of the school.

Every day, at the fifth and eight periods members of the staff were working diligently. Each one helped the other by offering friendly suggestions and talking things over with their adviser, Mrs. Foor. The money obtained to finance the project comes from Valenian sub- scriptions, candy and ice-cream sales, senior plays, and class dues. For five consecutive years the Valenian has been submitted to the Indiana High School Press Association for rating. It has always ranked high, and the ' 34 and ' 35 book received All Indiana rating. In the National Contests the ' 34 received All American rating and the ' 35, first class rating.

Each staff issues eight papers, and it was the aim of the staff to have every other paper contain six pages. The work included selling advertisements to local merchants, can- vassing the school for subscriptions, making the budget, writing all articles, proofreading, pasting the dummy, rushing last proof to the printer, counting, folding, and distributing papers, and always being on the alert for news. The ' 35 Valpost rated first class in the Quill and Scroll contest and National Scholastic Press Association. Five individual awards were granted by the Indiana High School Press Association. The individuals who became members of the Quill and Scroll organiza- tion this year are : Kathleen McGillicuddy, Caroline Wise, Howard White, and William Bui k.

The meetings are conducted in a business-like manner, and members learn much about various vocations and life in the business world. Outside speakers help to contribute to this purpose at the regular meet- ings. The subject of professions was studied during the year and those who aided in these dis- cussions were COMMERCIAL CLUB y Robert Lanham and Mr. Jack Lar- rew from the outside. Facul- ty members and students also contrib- uted. The Christ- mas party and spring banquet are major so- cial events of the year. Miss Hudson is sponsor of the Commer- cial Club. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB A merry group of girls keep active in this organiza- tion. The club is under the sponsorship of Miss Bartholo- mew and Miss Weems and is a member of national and state societies. This year the girls dressed and sold dolls as a new proj- ect. Besides this there were bake sales throughout the year. A Christmas party, Valentine party, and a faculty tea are the major social events of the year. Fifty-five girls are affiliated. Meetings are held every other Wednesday from 8 — 8 :30 A. M. Most of the year ' s programs were given by members within their own organization. Several addresses by outside speakers were given during the semester.

Berneice Brown and Mr. Koch wrote plays and fa- bles, which were used as programs for the club. The study of the lives of German au- thors and mu- sicians were objectives of this organiza- tion. TUMBLING That boys not participat- ing in major athletics may benefit by some physical activ- ity, the tum- bling Brownies were organized in 1931 by Mr. Brown. A team of twelve mem- bers gives pub- lic perform- ances and com- petes with oth- er schools. The boys work hard and their spon- sor gives them all his aid. Every week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from eight to nine o ' clock in the morning, the boys are in the gym practicing to perfect their exhibition. Their act includes clowning besides the regular tumbling feats. This group has proved to be very popular with both the school and community and was requested to give many performances.

During this time, the organization has given to the school and community service which has been felt and appre- ciated. The national group which fosters this high school branch is the Y. M. C. A.

The sponsor, Mr. Ralph Schenck, serves as adviser to the executive board and members re- garding any matter in which experi- ence gives weight to his counsel. The board meets with him weekly to leg- islate on club work. A great va- riety of activ- ities has been promoted by the local Hi-Y. Among those which are rec- ognized for their valuable service to oth- ers are : the second-hand bookstore, the courtesy cam- paign, a checkroom at basketball games, the sale of schedule pencils, the ushering of students in gymnasium convocations, and the distribution of Christmas baskets. Some activities in which Hi-Y boys participated for entertainment and self-betterment are: the annual Father-and-Son-Alumni Banquet, the regularly scheduled bi-weekly meetings for de- votional services and interesting lectures by guest speakers or members, attendance at various churches in a body, participation in the Calumet Region Convention at Roosevelt, East Chicago, the State Officers ' Meet at Indianapolis, and the Northern Indiana Hi-Y Conference here. Only those youths selected by the members and approved by the board may go through the for- mal induction ceremony which entitles them to Hi-Y sweaters and pins. Those who have them display these badges of membership with pi ' ide,for they stand for the clean living advocated and practiced by Hi-Y members. Boys value an affiliation with this organization.

Ruth Wallace, Virginia Myers, Laura Mae Conley, Annabelle Hinkle, Christine Lindall, Caroline GIRL RESERVES The qualities of ideal womanhood and true Christian character are stressed in this large organi- zation. The keynote of the club is service and loyalty. The point system of the Girl Reserves was altered this year, requiring each girl who wished a sweater to have a hundred points and to have been a Girl Reserve for two years. Girls may earn points by rendering special services, as serving on committees, for being on the honor roll, for attending church and Sunday school, for special work on pro- grams, for vis- iting the sick and taking things to the hospital. These were recorded by Annabelle Hinkle for the seniors during the year. As the proj- ect for the year the senior girls took each point of the code and interpreted it at the regular meetings. These girls gave their services during the sale of Christmas seals, the dis- tribution of Christmas baskets, and the freshmen reception in con j unction with the Hi-Y. Miss Butler sponsors this group of about thirty girls. In the junior reserve group various vocations for wo- men were emphasized. Each meeting was devoted to a special occupation. Some of the speakers were from the faculty and others were outsiders. This group of thirty girls was sponsored by Miss Ruth Andres. They work for points by service as do the others.

Several out- side speakers greatly con- tributed to the interest and enthusiasm. They were: Miss Mabel Benny, who spoke on Friendship , Mrs. Robert Taylor, who spoke on What are you going to do after high school? to a joint meeting of three Girl Reservegroups, and Mrs. Louis Krieger, whose subject was Vacations for Girls . The girls as- sisted the oth- er groups in the preparation of the Christ- mas baskets for the needy and in ushering at demonstration school in the fall and at the Christmas pag- eant. At the May Day break- fast they had charge of the preparation and serving of the meal and clean-up duties afterwards. The point system was revised, putting more emphasis upon correlation of service in the church and in the Girl Reserves. Many girls, therefore, earn points by active work in church, Sunday school, and young people ' s organizations. There are eighty-one members.

FOOTLIGHT MASQUERADERS The members of the dramatics class compose the Footlight Masqueraders. Thirty-eight members compose the group, and they are sponsored by Mr. Conkling. The club enlivened many assembly programs by its comedies, but it did not specialize in comedies alone, for tragedies, semi-classics, and farces were included in its repertoire. Make-up is studied seriously, and each student is re- quired to suc- cessfully trans- form a class- mate into an old person and a middle-aged person. Con- structing stag- es and working out the biogra- phies of fam- ous actors and actresses were the projects of the year. Memorizing parts for plays requires many hours of con- centration, and play practices take time and patience for per f ection. Each one takes his part earn- estly and does his best in his interpretation of the role. The plays presented this year for Wednesday morning as- semblies were: Thursday Evening , An- dante , The Land of Heart ' s Desire ' ' , Wurzel Flummery , TheTrysting Place , and Rich Man, Poor Man . The Masqueraders put on a series of plays before the students and friends instead of the traditional senior play. A nominal price was charged each person for each play, so every high school pupil could go. By training separate casts for these several plays everyone was given a role some time in the year.

Stamp Club was organized in 1933 by Mr. Jessee upon the suggestion of the Senior Stamp Club. The study of stamps and stamp collecting is encouraged in this organization. Mr. Frank Reid has undertaken the sponsorship of the club for the past three years and the membership has increased to thirty members, all of whom are boys. To high school philatelists, the most im- portant event of the year was the planning of a cachet to com- memorate Val- paraiso ' s cen- tennial. Con- tacts were made with oth- er schools and clubs. Every other week, a a social meet- ing was held at the home of a member. At that time meth- ods of collect- ing were dis- cussed.

ORCHESTRA OFFICERS Row 1 Bottom : Mr. Tom. director : Polly Wheeler, president ; Christine Lindall. librarian. Row 2 Jacqueline Sievers. secretary : Harold Jones, vice-president. This is the first year the band and orchestra have been under their new director, Glenn L. Tom. The band appeared at all athletic games, and both band and orchestra took part in the music concert given in the fall. Each organization met twice a week, the band on Tuesday eve- nings and Friday mornings, besides the regular band classes. The orchestra met on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Mr. Tom has worked dili- gently with both groups to advance them. The Band Mothers ' Club sponsored sev- eral band par- ties and dances during the year; the Christmas dance stands out as a gala festivity. The orches- tra used sever- al new music books this year including Hay- den ' s suite. One fifth of a credit is given for band and or- chestra work, and grades are given at the regular grad- ing periods. The orches- tra furnished music for the operetta and for commence- ment activities. There are thirty-n i n e members in the band and eighteen in the orchestra. The band did not enter either the district or the state band contests this year, although it has been a winner in past contests, including national rating in 1933. However, V. H. S. soloists entered the district, held at LaPorte in April. In spite of handicaps, both groups have retained their musical standards under Mr. Tom. BAND Row 1 Bottom: Roy Dittman, Trisman Brown.

Seated: Jacqueline Sievers, Mark Sink. Mrs. Myers, director. The Bells of Corneville , a light opera by Planquette, was presented by the combined glee clubs and a specially selected cast under the direction of Mrs. Myers. The setting of this comic operetta was in Corneville, an old-fashioned Norman village of the seventeenth century. After many weeks of tryouts, the cast was selected and the operetta was presented on April 22. The ticket sale was under the di- rection of Mr. John Koch. The Bells of C rneville , was not only pleasing to all who saw it, but also a financial success. Costumes and scenery did much to build a iitting atmosphere. The art class created posters displayed in store windows. DOUBLE QUARTET This year six new members entered the double quartet. Tryouts are given i n t h e fall, and only those who have attained a cer- tain degree of proficiency are admitted. Ev- ery Wednesday a half-hour practice is held in the lecture room. Mrs. Myers always directs this group. The melodious harmonizing of these young singers is veiy popular and many public appearances are demanded. During the year they entertained at the South Bend Teachers ' Con- vention, Women ' s Club, junior high assembly, teachers ' meetings and Wednesday convocations. This group is not to be confused with an octette for there are two tenors, sopranos, altos and basses.

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT The merriest time of the year — Christmas! Crowded gymnasium, huge crowd, gayly colored costumes, brilliant lights and sparkling Christmas trees all helped to constitute the pageant of nineteen thirty-five. Weeks before, rehearsals were held and each school made preparations for the part it would present. A new feature was added to the pageant this year. Father Christ- mas and the Snow Queen, with their court of Holly Maid, Mistle- toe Maid, and Poinsetta Maid presided over the events of the evening. These parts were charac- terized by Wil- liam Wells, Lil- lian Gi Hi land, Betty Detlefs, Lois Wharton, and Dortha Marie Stoner respectively. As a mother read stories of Christmas to her children, the performers ente red the gym through a huge book and enacted what the children were listening to from the story their mother was reading to them. The grade school children carried out the idea of snow- The Home Grade 1 Columbia, Jack Frosts The Book Grade 1 Central, Rabbits SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS Row 1 Jack Frosts — Harold Shupe, Arthur Smith, James Spratley.

The high school dramatics class portrayed the birth of Christ in pantomime, while the grade chorus and the robed choir sang carols. Even the kindergarteners took part and were very effective in their portrayal of brilliantly decorated Christmas boxes, tied with large bows and brought in by Santa Claus to dance. Fifty-two PROM Gay young people dressed in colorful frocks and best suits and dancing to lively music under a bower of blue and white crepe paper and soft lights constitutes one of the most popular and anticipated social events of the school year — the annual junior-senior prom. This climax to a year of hard work, and to some, the high school career they have pursued for the preceeding four years takes its place high on the roll of those activities considered worth while. It is the event of the year in which the advantages of our friendships and social educa- tion are manifested. The prom is an annual expression of regard by the junior class to the graduating seniors. The expense arising from the decoration, orchestra, punch and conditioning of the gymnasium floor is shouldered by the juniors and is paid through the collection of dues. In addition to the honored senior guests the faculty is invited and act as chaperons. The prom is held in Boucher Gym glympse of the 1935 prom on the Friday preceeding the close of the school year. The prom is a tradition which every one in Valpa- raiso High School hopes will be con- tinued for many years. SENIOR PLAYS Instead of presenting the traditional sen- ior play, the Footlight Mas- queraders, un- der the direc- tion of Mr. B. L. Conkling presented a se- ries of three plays: Wurzel Flummery , The Trysting Place , and Rich Man, Poor Man . This plan was adopted because the expenses involved in a senior play have nearly equalled the profits. This way no expense is involved, the entire class is used in casts, and no additional time is taken in practicing than would be used to prepare one-act plays. An admission price of five cents was paid by all students who wished to attend. Those taking part in Wurzel Flummery were : Harold Jones, Joseph Smisek, Marilyn Ludolph, Lois Hildreth, Marjorie Johnston, Vernon Lain. The cast of the comedy, The Trysting Place was : Christine Lindall, Mildred Howard, Ann Wilscam, Vernon Lain, Robert Stewart, Joseph Smisek, and Raymond Handschy. Those performing in the last play were: Marjorie Johnston, Helen Louise McKay, Carroll Miles, Gladys Sheets, Mary William Hausam, Marilyn Ludolph, Carl Wood, Ann Wilscam, Chris- tine Lindall, Joseph Smisek, Pauline Manolato, and Annabelle Hinkle.

Time Valpo FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1935 Although opening their grid season with a 14-6 loss to Rensselaer at Brown Field, the V. H. S. gridders in the latter part of the contest showed the characteristic Viking spirit and courage which prevailed through the entire football season. On paper it was seven defeats and only one victory for the team of 1935, but little these figures reveal of the fighting hearts of both regulars and reserves who, though outweighed in every game, never quit until the final whistle. In their second encounter, against the Plymouth Pilgrims, Valpo played much better ball but seemed unable to supply the winning punch and lost 7-0. The Pilgrims ' first half march and the conversion accounted for the decision. However, in the second period Arthur Smith, diminutive Valpo powerhouse, started a Viking off ensive which was finally stopped on the Plymouth two yard stripe. Arthur crashed off tackle for 11 yards and would-be tacklers bounced off him like jumping beans. Robert Thor- gren plunged through center for 8 more yards.

In the Hammond Tech game the Vikings played fine football in the last half, but the 24-0 lead which they had practically given to the Ham- mond eleven was too great to be overcome. Valpo had to be contented with a 24-7 loss. In the second frame, the game was all Valpo ' s. The touch- down play went from Jankowski to Curtis on a forward pass and then in turn, Joseph lateralled to Courtney Holt who scored. Valpo roundly trounced Tolleston of Gary in a neat game 21-0. Adolph Jankowski broke away for a spectacular 70 yard run for one of Valpo ' s touchdowns. Hubert Harshbarger also broke into the Viking backfield and turned in a good all-around performance. It is an outstanding fact that in every game substitutions for the Green and White averaged 10 players. These reserves give promise of a successful season next year. The Viking players McCann, Shook, Thorgren, Smith, Holt, Kline, and Pierce will be sorely missed, for their hard fight against tremendous odds was a feature of the Valpo play.

Sixty-one Courtney Holt Wa Blake Brice McCann Adolph Jankowski Edgar Witner Carroll Sheets VARSITY BASKETBALL Exchanging helmets, pigskins, and bruising gridiron tactics for basketball, queen of Indiana ' s sports, Coach Powell moulded his material into a powerful unit of typical Viking tradition. Adolph Jankowski, Courtney Holt, Wallace Blake, and Brice McCann formed the nucleus of the Valpo aggregation, and Carroll Sheets, Campbell Kane, Joseph Curtis, Jack Chester, Robert Thorgren, Russell Glover, Ketchell Crisp, Robert Kitchen, and Edgar Witner rounded out the team which won 7 games and lost 15 to competition practically unequalled in previous years. A note- worthy fact is also found in scanning records, that 6 of the 15 games were lost only by one or two points to exceedingly torrid opposing sharp- shooters in the closing minutes. The Blue Jays from North Judson met Valpo in its season ' s debut and administered a 23-22 defeat when in the closing seconds Ernest Long hit the basket on a weird, twisted pivot shot. Journeying to the Maple City, the Vikings were unable to stave off a Sheer fourth quarter rally and lost to their ancient foes 31-25. It was LaPorte ' s first win in their last seven starts against Valpo. Holt played one of the best games of his V. H. S. career in floor performance as well as point-getting ability. Wheeler, the class of Porter County quintets, gave Valpo fans a scare when they led 14-13 at the end of the third quarter. However, at this time the entire team, Witner, Jankowski, McCann, Holt, and Blake — gave Valpo the 25-14 victory in a spirited last period splurge. In their first conference tiflf the Vikings trounced Froebel at Valpo 26-22. Adie Jankowski shot Valpo into a 21-19 lead in the middle of the third quarter after the Vikings had been trailing 19-17. Holt ' s third free throw and McCann ' s fourth field goal of his total of 10 points accounted for a 24-19 lead which was never seriously threatened. Whiting defeated Valpo 30-29 in the second conference game. Wallace Blake led the evening ' s scoring with 13 points. Three times he drove through the Oil er defense to draw blood. Breaking the Valpo tradition of refraining from long trips, the Green and White trekked southward to Southport and emerged victorious 82-25. Sixty-two Campbell tvdne joseph Curtis Russell Glover Jack Cheste Robcrl lllor Robert Kitchen Courtney Holt and Wallace Blake, the Viking ' s two guards, garnered just 22 of the total 32 points and aided the impression on dowaistaters that northern Indiana can still play high calibre basketball. In a hammer and tong tussle over the Christmas vacation the Valpo five succumbed to a last minute basket to lose to Elkhart ' s Blue Blazers 23-22. Next followed four defeats by Lew Wallace, Hammond, Emerson, and Washington respectively before Valpo gained revenge for LaPorte ' s previous win 23-16. The Vikings then dropped games to Horace Mann 30-19 and Froebel 33-26 before conquering Whiting 33-22 with McCann and Holt leading the onslaught. Warsaw furnished Valpo with its fifth one point loss 23-22. Washington was the Viking ' s next victim 29-25. Carroll Sheets and Edgar Witner, who were now hitting their strides on ofi ' ense, obtained 12 and 6 points respectively. In the sectional at Gary, Valpo overwhelmed Tolleston but was nosed out by Emerson in the second round. Despite the fact that the Vikings lose valuable men, McCann, Thorgren, Blake, and Holt by graduation, a strong 1937 team can be picked from the reserves. BASKET BALL SCHEDULE Nov. Nov. Nov. Dec. Dec.

News that a reserve team conference for freshmen and sophomores had been formed was welcomed by the Viking ' s second team, and they proceeded to establish themselves as top notch contenders only to lose out in the latter part of the schedule. The team showed great promise for future varsity material. While the Valparaiso fans witnessed a disastrous season for the first team, the play of the Junior Vikings and their fu- ture potentiali- ties was a con- solation for an otherwise dis- mal year. Harold Hen- son and Rol- and Sheets, forwards; Jo- seph Awker- man and Ro- bert Brown, centers ; and Elroy St. Clair, William Win- dle, and Robert Rhoda, guards were the reg- ular star ters, with John Stoner, Camp- bell Holt, Ro- bert Wulff , and Charles Skin- ner also seeing a lot of action.

Robert Thorgren, Robert Pierce, Wallace Wilson, James Zimmer- man, James Stoner, and Campbell Holt soon made the regulars step for their posi- tions and gave notice that the ' 36 team would not be lacking in material.

S. tumbling team exhibited its skill before audiences at Washington High School, East Chicago, and LaPorte, as well as before civic organizations and the student bodies of both the high school and Valparaiso University. The tumblers are organized throughout the school year as a tumbling club. From this group were chosen the members of the exhibition team. On Friday, April 3, the Viking team was host to the tumbling teams of Clark of Hammond, LaPorte, Mish- awaka, East Chicago, Win- amac, Nappa- nee, and Whit- ing. The head- line perform- ance was an exhibition b y the gymnastic team of the University o f Chicago. GOLF In 1935 the Viking mashie wielders con- tinued their winning ways. They won five matches, lost three, and tied one. The team, composed of Harrison Bak- er, Charles Beach, John Ruge, Adolph Jankowski, Gilbert Johnson, and William Bui ' k, won the Northwestern Indiana Conference. Then Riley of South Bend, winner of the Northeastern Indiana Conference, came to Valpo to play off for the Northern Indiana Conference title and a large silver plated trophy. Riley won in a close encounter 7-5, Valpo losing the match on the final green. Valpo beat the following schools: LaPorte, Hammond, Lew Wallace, and tied with Riley of South Bend. Of these schools, Hammond High put forth the toughest competition, but the ac- curate Valpo team could not be denied its triumph. The showing made by the five boys who entered the high school tournament at Indianapolis was very encouraging, due largely to the coaching ability of Mr. William Kendall, new golf mentor at V. H. S. Harrison Baker, whose play was outstanding last year, graduated, as did Charles Beach and Gilbert Johnson. The others return to action this year. Adolph Jankowski Cha Beach Gilbert Johnson John Ruge Sixty-six NOONDAY LEAGUE Featuring entertainment all through the year — football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and Softball in spring — the noonday league attracted some 115 boys in 1935-1936. At noon, after sufficient lunch time had been afforded for people remaining at school, Mr. Ralph Powell, coach, blew his whistb and inaugurated the typical noonday festivities. Large attendances were not uncommon, for this driving back yard style of play was enjoyed by all V. H. S. fans. In basketball eight teams of about ten members were formed, and the ensuing tourney was a thriller. George Miller, former varsity man, led the scoring with 87 points, Kenneth Rhoda followed with 70 points, and Hilton Gramps was third with 65 points. In the post-season basketball tournament, after the regular season, Kenneth Rhoda ' s team nosed out Fred Schroeder ' s quintet to claim the championship honors. Twelve leading scorers of the main tournament were: George Miller, 87; Kenneth Rhoda, 70; Hilton Gramps, 65; Fred Schroe- der, 62; Ho- n ' f ll a noonday leaguer ' s fancy turns to — Touch-football — but the touch is none too light ward Kreigei ' , rip 4BS — — ■tf iWEt ' -■ ' ' 5 1; James aM - u mv k ' ' ' rTi T: T TK [ r WK r -3 Stoner, 47; yj£jf  .

Each year a group of girls outstanding for sportsmanship, athletic ability, and leadership are selected by the G. A. A. members to comprise what is known as the board. It was composed of Ann Maulsby, president ; Kathleen McGillicuddy, vice-president ; Laura Mae Conley, secretary ; and Annabelle Hinkle, treasurer. In addition to these officers there were managers of the various sports. The duties of these girls were to execute the laws contained in the constitu- tion and to stimulate inter- est in the or- ganization. The awards shown are pre- sented to mem- bers who have participated in sports or have rendered defi- nite service to the club. For 250 points a girl is entitled to her class numerals; 600 points, a mono- gram ; 1,500 points, a sweat- er ; and for each 500 addi- tional points, a chevron. lono ram Che WINNER OF CUP Each year a cup is given by the G. A. A. to the most outstanding senior girl in the organiza- tion. Margaret Crisman was chosen last year.

GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The G. A. A. of Valparaiso High School is a Girls ' Athletic Association that offers an oppor- tunity for all girls in the school to participate in the sports in which they are interested. The club was this year under the sponsorship of Miss Mary Jo Hollars, new girls ' physical education instructor. The G. A. A. now has 150 active and associate members. Those who have earned 50 points and participate i n SENIOR AND JUNIOR G. A. A. the various sports offered are active ; those who have signified their intention of participating in the various activities are associate mem- bers. This organi- zation does not try to interest every girl, but it believes that there is great- er joy and rec- r e a t i n in wholesome participation than in inten- sive competi- tion. It believes that to insure this type of recreation, cer- tain ideals must be widely adopted. This year the G. A. A. became a mem- ber of the Na- tional Amateur Athletic Fed- eration. The purpose of this organization is to combat cer- tain unwhole- some tendencies which hinder girls ' athletics. Yearly dues of three dollars which are taken from the treasuiy entitle G. A. A. members to monthly newsletters and printed publications of pam- phlets, studies, and research reports. With complete co-operation, the G. A. A. had a successful year FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE G. A. A.

This question was often asked by the girls who ate their lunch at school. The G. A. A. attempted to solve this problem by providing a noonday league of sports for these girls. This league now has 88 members under the chairmanship of Pauline Witner. Its purpose is to provide suitable recreation for girls who cannot take part in the activities after school, but who are at school during the noon hour. The sports offered are divided into two classes, the indoor and outdoor. The indoor activities consist of pi ng pong, shuffleboard, tetherball, loop tennis, and bowling. The outdoor sports, popu- lar in the spring and fall of the year, are handball, horseshoes, and badminton. Individual and interclass tour- naments are A close game of hand ball between The horse shoe will bring luck to Pauline Biggs, IieiU IH 6 R C n Polly Wheeler and Carmen Rivadeneira Pauline Witner, Carmen Rivadeneira, Evelyn Witner Q-f fVipcp SDOrts creating much e n t h u s i asm and interest.

Loop tennis is a new sport for Valparaiso High School and proved to be the most popular of all spring games. This sport will be organized like all others and a tournament will be played. Every girl that enrolls in noonday league receives 25 G. A. A. points for each sport she par- ticipates in, and for each tournament win she receives 25 points. This makes it possible for these girls who can not take part in the after school sports to receive any of the G. A.A. awards offered, providing they belong to the main organization and have a specified number of points. Many of the girls have made use of this opportunity of participating in the sports at noon, and have thus made their daily school life more interesting. So keen has the interest become that girls who do not remain at noon want to participate in these activities.

Seventy girls responded to the call with the enthusiasm of true sports- women. Lois Wharton, soccer chairman, divided the group into teams, who chose the following captains according to their respective team number: Laura Mae Conley, Annabelle Hinkle, Phyl- lis Julian, Kathleen McGillicuddy, Caroline Wise, and Beryl Ann Brownell. These girls led their teammates with the determination to be champions of the tournament, or the winners of the consolation match. Those honored this year were teams 1 and 3. After this contest, a class tournament was played. Only the girls with skill and knowledge of soccer were chosen to represent their class. The sophomores defeated the freshmen 2-0 in their preliminary, and the seniors subdued the juniors 2-0. Both games were exciting, but they did not com- Marjorie Field.

These classes had evenly matched players. After three overtimes of four minutes each, the game was stopped and considered a 0-0 tie. Each player was awarded 2 5 points for her efforts. To celebrate this tourna- ment and to represent soc- cer with an outdoor social event, t h e G. A. A. sponsors an annual pic- nic for all of its members. The outing this year was held on Saturday at Hatch Lake, where 85 girls gathered. After they had played baseball and other games, the girls enjoyed a pioneer supper. In the evening all gathered about the fire, listened to ghost stories, and sang songs. This climaxed the soccer season. Since out-door hockey is not played among the girls in G. A. A., soccer has a great attraction in the fall month. It has been a sport in the high school curriculum for five years. Henrietta Fisher, ' 33, was chairman of soccer the year it was introduced. Sixty-five girls responded then in comparison to the seventy girls who entered into the activity this fall. The Girls ' Athletic Association was organized this same year and has done much in aiding the advancement of soccer.

An Seventy-one VOLLEYBALL Mariangeneen Helvie winding up for her serve Everybody tense for the start The next number on the Girls ' Athletic Association sports program for the year was volley- ball. Its chairman, Polly Wheeler, divided the 83 girls who came out into nine teams. A cham- pionship and consolation tournament was started immediately with teams 1 and 4 winning re- spective honors. Volleyball technique was carefully studied for the purpose of aiding the girls individually in their type of play. The overhand serve, an innovation this year, was an accomplishment to the girls who learned to master it. After the first tournament, a class tourney was played. In the semi-finals the freshmen cha- grined the juniors by defeating them in a surprise upset which ended 50-40. This advanced the fighting freshman team to the final game of the contest, where they were to defend themselves against the seniors, who had been victo- rious over the sophomores. To add color and spirit to the final game, the volleyball poles were decorated with green pa- per character- istic o f t h e freshman, and with gold and silver paper representing the seniors. The seniors were the win- ners, scoring an 85-30 victory. They demon- strated the ex- cellent co-oper- ation which was responsi- ble for their success. The freshmen had ability, but lacked the experience of their foe. However, they seemed confident of victory next year, and the other classes shared their optimism, or pessimism, according to the point of view. There was no social event to climax this seasonal sport, but twelve girls and Miss Hollars at- tended a play day sponsored by the Wheeler High School G. A. A. The purpose of this gather- ing, which included other county schools, was not to emphasize competition but to promote co-operation and good sportsmanship among the girls of the various schools. This was done by dividing the girls into color teams and engaging them in physical activities the entire day. Now the girls put away the nets, let the air out of the volleyballs, pumped up the basketballs, and called out foul — free throw! instead of net ball — serve over! Polly Wheeler using a smashing overhand serve Through the net in volleyball Seventy-two BASKETBALL At last it is here! This was the cry of everyone of the 100 girls who rushed out upon the basketball floor seeking wholesome recreation in return for their patient weeks of anticipation. Basketball always has been the girls ' favorite sport because of its excitement and physical exercise. The chairman, Beryl Ann Brownell, divided the girls into an A team which consisted only of the advanced players, and a B team which consisted of the inexperienced players. Teams in each of these two divisions were drawn, and championship and consolation tournaments were played. Following this, the class teams were chosen. The captains of these were: freshman, Lois Maxwell ; sophomore, Charlotte Smith ; junior, Margaret Schram ; and senior, Kathleen McGilli cuddy.

The seniors like- wise were vic- tors of the sophomores, winning 7-6. This promoted the seniors and the freshmen to a very in- teresting final game, the for- mer winning by a score of 15-9. This gave the seniors not only the priv- ilege of sitting at the head table at the annual basket- ball banquet, but also the right to have their names engraved on a silver loving cup awarded each year by the G. A. A. and retained by the organization. The basketball banquet, always the closing signal of the season, was attended by 140 mem- bers of the G. A. A., faculty, and alumnae. Following the dinner, an excellent entertainment was provided which consisted of music by the G. A. A. orchestra, presentation of awards, an address by Miss Stafford of Gary, and dancing. Presentation of the silver loving cup to class tournament victors was introduced this year. It was for the purpose of creating more interest in the class tournaments ; since basketball is the favorite sport, it was fitting that the winners in this sport should receive the cup.

A. A. major sports are the minor activities. These are classified as individual sports, and points are given according to the skill developed by each girl. They consisted of tumbling, archery, baseball, tennis, track, and bicycling. Tumbling, directed by Caroline Wise, was held every Monday and Friday in the gym. Girls who were able to perform certain feats were placed on a varsity team and awarded additional points. Apparatus work and difficult stunts were featured this year, although the tumbling team did not take part in the Spring Festival. Archery, popular in the fall and spring of the year , had twenty interested archers entering in the Valpo round. This was a tournament in which each girl shot six arrows at a distance of 25, 30, and 40 feet. A class tournament was also played later in the sea- son. The chair- man of this sport was Edna Shideler. The game of baseball was started April 14 by the chairman, Mar- garet Schram. Championship and class tour- naments were played in this sport with all of the hilarity and interest that baseball does provide. Tennis is al- so an invigor- ating sport that holds the attention of the girls from the last month of school on through the summer vacation. Tournaments and consolations are played, and the winner of each contest is given 25 G. A. A. points. Bicycling and track proved their popularity with many this year. The chairman of these was Berneice Brown, who planned a track contest, giving the winners G. A. A. points. Bicycling was held on Saturdays and evenings after school. Last year a bicycle hike was held in which several girls and Miss Schudel rode out to the country and ate their lunches in the woods. Although many of these minor sports came in the last and busiest month of the school year, there were a large number of girls who signed for them.

Seventy-five CONCLUSION |E are deeply grateful for the aid of students who helped the staff with its clerical and financial duties, as well as for the counsel of our faculty adviser. These people have co-operated with us in striving to show how the progressive spirit keeps our school al- ways modern. Only a few years hence, you may again look through this book, only to find ac- counts and pictures of school life sadly out- moded by newly adopted methods of in- struction. This yearbook may be super- seded by works showing the steady ad- vancements which must come in the jour- nalistic field. Its contents may be forgotten. This staff may be unknown. Yet the theme around which the 1936 VALENIAN centers will never become a thing of the past. As long as Valparaiso High School operates, this spirit of advancement will motivate those who attend.
