HOMER M. 3ESSEE— Math- ematics, Valparaiso Uni- versity, B. S.; Indiana State Teachers ' College, A. B.; University of Chicago. I play hard when I play, and work hard when I work. Has a laugh heard ' round the school. MR. HOMER M. 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.

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
