Organizing in November under the sponsorship and guidance of Miss Vera Sieb, the members elected Robert Gray, president: Walter Woycik, vice-pres- identg and Kathleen Nolan, secretary-treas- urer. During the year, the editor-in-chief and the business manager of the 1942 VALENIAN, Francis Bryant and Joseph Bibler, were chosen to begin Work. The junior class students have proved by their splendid Work that they will be able to carry on successfully for the out- going seniors next year. Many of the juniors have been outstanding in Work and play. Of these Francis Bryant and Jo Ann Whipple have shown their worth by su- perior scholarship and Bob Gray has re- vealed outstanding ability in athletics.

Sophomores Have llutstanding Pupils Although the sophomore class is not yet organized, they are nevertheless proud to be sophomores. They know well the hardships of the freshmen, and they real- ize that there are but two more steps until they will he seniors. The class of 138 mem- bers has shown tireless efforts to make a name for itself in the fields of music and athletics as Well as in studies. Many of the sophomores made the hon- or roll this year showing that this class can do Whatever it sets out to undertake without the aid of a sponsor. Among the outstanding students are George Doelling and Donald Findling in the field of sports and James Briscoe and Jean Holt in scholastic ability.

Foor, sponsor, Senior Staff Edits Year Book The Valenian, the Valparaiso High School annual, is edited and published by the senior class so that yon may have a record of your school life for the school year. The staff is composed of nine members, seven of Whom are elected at the beginning of the year by the seniors from a slate com- piled by the senior officers, sponsors, and the principal. The other two members, the editor-in-chief and business manager, are chosen the previous year by the juniors, and they serve as apprentices to the preced- ing staff. Valenian Wins Award This group decides on a theme, lets the contracts, plans the books, Writes the copy, and does all other Work necessary to the final duty, the distribution of the books. All Work is carried on under the direction of the sponsor, Mrs. Emma R. Foor. The financing of the book is directed by Miss Clare McGillicuddy. Money for this project is obtained by senior dues, each senior paying twenty-five cents a month, and through the sale of candy, milk, ice- cream, pop corn, and other foods in the school at the noon hour, at four o'clock, and at basket-ball games. Annuals are sold throughout the school in home rooms.

The Voljvost is published by the advanc- ed journalism class, which has studied the theory of the work during the previous semester. The paper is self-supporting through advertising and subscriptions. At the opening of the school year the class sells the advertisements and solicits subscriptions. Sixteen regular issues and one special senior issue are published. The pupils gather and write the news, and do the proof reading. The printing is done by a local commercial printer. 1941 Valpost Staff The Valpost belongs to the National Scholastic Press Association, the Quill and Scroll, the Indiana Press Association, and the Columbia Press Association. The paper has been awarded first class honor rating consistently. The following five members of the staff which published the paper during the first semester of 1940-41 applied for and re- ceived membership in the Quill and Scroll: Eva Brown, Jean Deckro, Marillynn Heap, Signe Lindberg, and Mary Thiesen. The paper sells for fifty cents a school year and has 411 paid subscriptions and an exchange list of 37 schools.

Club Girls Affiliated with State Society On October 7, 1940, the Home Economics Club sent out a call to all girls interested in the art of home making, and under the direction of Miss Margaret Bartholomew this year's organization was formed. The Home Economics Club is a member of both the state and national society of Home Economics organizations. The sym- bol of the club is the Betty Lamp, which was a lamp used in the early days in this country by housewives, who carried it from place to place as they needed light. Each year in October the local club sends two delegates to Indianapolis to attend the State Home Economics meeting. This year Jean Deckro, club president, and Mary Frances Bloemen, club secretary, were elected. Two members, Gene Beckwith and Marillynn Heap, also attended as vis- itors. At the state meeting this year Gene Beckwith was elected the State Home Eco- nomics Club president. This is the first time the club has had this honor. To better acquaint the new members with the other members, the club held a tea for all the new members enrolled last fall. The selling of fruit cakes at Thanks- giving is an annual affair, and this year, after making forty pounds, Sli was cleared. A bazaar in December is also a tradition of the club. On December 6, by the selling of hot-pan holders, aprons, towels, cookies, and candy the girls made 51459. A Christ- mas party at Miss Bartholomewis home, a Valentine party in February, and a Moth- er's Day Tea in May are all club traditions. president, Gloria Bagdon, treasur- Senior Reserve Officers Elizabeth Foxworthy, secretaryg Marjorie Petralias, scribe: Margaret Snow, president.

Girl Reserve Groups Meet Separately The Girl Reserves of Valparaiso are di- vided into three separate groups, senior, junior, and freshman-sophomore, and you are offered the opportunity to belong to this organization when you enter high school. The Senior Reserves number nineteen and are directed by Miss Helen Miller. The group meets regularly on alternate Mon- day mornings. ln addition to meetings, the group helps to entertain the freshmen and new students at the opening of school. The girls sold tuberculosis seals at Christmas time and infantitle paralysis tags. The members receive points for service and in this Way earn the right to wear a Reserve sweater and chevrons. The Junior Girl Reserves, consisting of thirty-two members under the leadership of Miss Audrey Shauer, serve you through- out the school year. There are six officers, president, vice-president, secretary-treas- urer, program chairman, and scribe: also three committees, service, social, and pro- gram. Before a girl is eligible for a sweater, for which every member strives, she must earn one hundred points under the point system, be in school four semesters, and be inducted. A girl may earn points by at- tending church and Sunday school, doing helpful things for others, and taking an an active interest in school activities or outside organizations. 37 Girl Reserves, Freshmen and Sophomores Row 1, Bottom: Beverly Edwards, Betty Gregory, Joan Stinchfield, Elinor Ju- lian, Norma Mangel, Mary Ellen Pil- lard, Jeanette McKim, Miss Welty, sponsorg Bonnie Jean Reid, Marjorie Massom, Bonnie Podreskey, Betty Frazier, Wilna Davis.

Freshmen-Sophomores Have Ilwn Projects Upon entering high school the freshmen girls are given an opportunity to join the Sophomore-Freshman Reserves under the direction of Miss Olie Welty. This year they numbered 60. The meetings are held bi-monthly in room 119, and once a month these girls meet in conjunction with the junior and senior groups. Girls offer to be on the programs super- vised by an appointed chairman. Points are earned by being on the honor roll, at- tending church, Sunday school and young people's groups of the church, by being an officer in the organization, helping the needy and by participating in school activ- ities. This group cheerfully performs its share of the many general activities of the Re- serves such as selling tuberculosis seals, filling Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets and ushering at various school functions. All the new members look forward to the impressive annual induction usually held early in February. Another annual function is the freshman party given by 38 the combined Hi-Y and Girl Reserve clubs for freshmen and new students. The three groups also gave a half-and- half party last spring. Because some want- ed a formal party and others didn't, it was decided to combine the idea and the cos- tume worn. The result was a comical af- fair, some girls coming in bathing suits, others in evening dress, and still others combined the idea in one costume. The Girl Reserve clubs are affiliated with the Y. W. C. A. and have the same high standards of developing character, morals, and ideals. The Girl Reserve Award was given to Rosemary Koch last year.

Ili-Y Club Fifteen Years 0ld The Valparaiso Hi-Y has served you, the students, for fifteen years as one of the most prominent and successful organiza- tions in the high school. The only other service organization in the school besides the Hi-Y is the Girl Reserves. Each year these two clubs collaborate in giving a party for the benefit of incoming freshmen and all other new students. Each member of the Hi-Y is placed on at least two different committees, and through co-operation the members are able to plan and carry out a well balanced pro- gram of entertainment and service for the school year. Each year the officers of the club and f Hi-Y Officers Bernard Howard, secre tary, Mr. Warner, spon sorg Joseph Bibler, treas- urer, Charles Sink, pres- ident, Wilford Murphy, vice-pres., Mr. Schenck, sponsor. one of the two sponsors, Mr. Warner or Mr. Schenck, go to Indianapolis to attend the State Officer's Meet, at which they ob- tain information for bettering the stand- ards of the Hi-Y. The members of the club also attend several district conven- tions in a body at which they take part in the discussion. During the summer vaca- tion James Howard was able to attend the National Hi-Y Convention for a week at Oberlin, Ohio. This year for the first time the Hi-Y sponsored a dance, but because of the exceedingly small profit they were forced to discontinue the idea. The checkroom, pencil sales, and bookstore are other ways they have of earning money. Each year the Hi-Y organization sponsors the courtesy campaign and at the close of the school year on award day present a medal to the most courteous girl and the most courteous boy selected by the faculty. Last year Martha Schellinger and James Smith received this honor. The regular Hi-Y award was given to Chris Meyers.

Masqueraders Put un School Plays The Footlight Masqueraders, including both the dramatics class and the club, served you, the students, this year by put- ting on plays throughout both terms. For one and a half years there was no dramatics class because of the half day schedule, but the club carried on the work. On the resumption of a full day the class and club both Worked on a full program. All dramatics is under the direction of Mr. Conkling who teaches the course and sponsors the club. The studies of the class include acting techniques, pantomimes, the lives of great people connected with dramatics and voice and diction improvement. The Work also included a scrapbook on dramatics. Mr. Conkling chooses and casts all of the plays, which are practiced outside school hours and presented before the student body at assembly programs. The first of the plays that was given this year was The Know of Hearts, a comedy in costume, the only costume play given this year. This was closely followed by A Sign 40 U nfo Yon, the Christmas play, and Thznfs- day Ez'cnz'ng, a comedy farce on married life. Next the students presented another comedy dealing with the oddness of cog- nomens rightly named W'Z'l7fZCl Finn-nne1'y. The Tffysnng Place came next. This was a light love comedy. The class's original plans for the year included more plays, but because of the revival of the senior class play Mr. Conk- ling was unable to direct the class presenta- tions. The senior play had been discon- tinued for five years, but this year saw its resurrection. Dramatics awards last year were given to Walter Kline and Coralou Zimmerman Miller for their acting ability.

Latin Club Founded Four Years Ago The present Latin Club was founded in 1938 by Miss Stoner, the present sponsor, for students Who Were interested in out- side activities in this language. There had been several. other Latin Clubs in the pre- vious years, but they were discontinued. The present club is comprised of eleven members who are studying Latin at the present time, or have studied it in the past. It was determined by vote what ac- tivities the club would undertake this year. Instead of the usual enthusiasm over Ro- man houses, customs, Weapons, or calen- dars, the members decided to limit the ac- tivities mainly to Roman games. This hav- ing been settled, the club turned its atten- tion to gaining new members. They finally hit upon the idea of having a Christmas Latin Club Oflicers Joyce Stoner, secre- tary: William Fraser, presidentg Miss Ston- p M k party at the Junior High School to which all Latin students Were invited. After spending hours in making unique invita- tions in the form of small Roman scrolls, the club announced the coming party by sending a Roman postman to deliver the invitations to the students while they were in the Latin classes. The only fee required for attending the party was a gift for the grab bag, which was asked for as they entered the door. The group and the guests of the club, Mr. Julian, Mr. Jessee, and Miss Welty, took part in the games. When the games came to an end, the participants danced for a short time and then Went down to the community room Where refreshments con- sisting of cocoa with marshmallows and cookies were served. By nine-thirty the students had departed for home. Thus ended an evening of fun. During this year. the club planned the annual trip to the Chicago museums for the benefit of the freshman Latin students. Y, .J.

Commercial, Debate Clubs Beorganize For the first time since 1938 the Com- mercial Club was again organized, and you who were interested in this work were given an opportunity to become members. Now there are sixty in this organization under the sponsorship of Miss Dessa Hud- son. Any pupil who has taken or is taking work in this department is eligible. The programs this year consisted of a series of talks by several of the business and professional men of Valparaiso. Guest speakers for the first semester included Dean Kumnick of Valparaiso University and Attorney E. J. Freund and Mrs. Avery Weaver, local lawyer. The club's two social events were a Christmas party and a spring banquet. Each year the club members appoint a scrapbook manager to keep a record of the club's activities. This includes pic- Debating Officers Henry Pahl, president: Mr. Koch, spon- sor, Arnold Stoner, vice-president: Jean Holt, secretary: Robert Worthington, treasurer. tures, reports of speeches, a n d accounts of the parties. The Debating Club is a new organiza- tion in Valparaiso High School. It was organized during the first semester by Gerald Adams and Robert Worthington, under the sponsorship of Mr. Koch. At present it meets on alternate Fridays in room 110. So far it has drawn its mem- bership from the English 3 classes, but plans for a broader representation in mem- bership are being made. At each meeting two teams of two mem- bers each hold a debate, which is judged by the members not actively participating. The membership has been restriced to twelve for the first year to allow time for the officers and members to accustom themselves to the club and debating pro- cedure. It is hoped that this group will serve as a nucleus for more extensive and more effective debating activities in the future. No credits are awarded members of the Debating Club as it is an independent ex- tra-curricular organization. Debate Club Row 1: William Johnson, Elwood Mull, Lawrence Olinger.

Two Former Clubs Become Active The Sciemus Club, under a new consti- tution, accepts for membership any stu- dent interested in science. This club is run solely by the members, with Mr. Paul- ey, the sponsor, giving advice or aid only when needed. The club, an active member of the Junior Academy of Science, was represented by five members and the sponsor at the 1940 science meet at Ball State College in Muncie. Several exhibits, planned and constructed by the members, were taken and displayed. The club makes many field trips to industrial plants, lab- oratories, and places of scientific interest in and about Valparaiso. During the year one trip is taken to Chicago. The mem- bers, meeting every two weeks, discuss and demonstrate various phases of science. Several times during the year, a guest speaker appears before the club. Tumbling Club Thirty-nine boys took advantage of the opportunity offered by the school to join the tumbling club sponsored by Mr. J. B. Brown. This group met two mornings each week between 8:30 and 9:00 o'clock to learn the principles upon which this agility is based. The boys gave several ex- hibitions between the halves of basket-ball games and they sponsored a district exhibit where the principal guest was Notre Dame University on April 4. Five high schools entered teams. Those who received rewards last spring: Claude Biggs, Tom Bryarlv, Jack Dooley, Delmar Fisher, Clayton Fetterer, James Griffith, Francis Miskimins, Warren Mounce, Glenn Owens, Robert Schumaker, and Malcolm Varner.

Band Plays at Games The Marching Band, formed chiefly for appearance at athletic contests, has made splendid progress. In the fall, the band performed between halves at home foot- ball games, and accompanied the team to Kokomo. Robert Porter was their drum major, and he was assisted by majorettes Adeltha Johnston and Frances Erea. Pa- tricia Stookey from the Central Junior High School, accompanied the band as acro- Color Guards and Drum Maj-ors Row 1, Front: James Bigelow, Bernard Howard, Jack Kain.

With sixty members, including a color guard composed of Bernard Howard, James Bigelow, and Jack Kain, Mr. Rogers de- signed and displayed a number of intricate formations and effects. With the field di- rection of Drum Major Porter, and his assistants in their abbreviated, skirt- ed costumes of white and green, these appearances added greatly to B the enjoyment of the Valparaiso High School football fans and the general public. During the December Holidays, the band celebrated with a Christ- mas Party at the new Central Junior High School. A deltha Johnston at night football game.

In the late spring of 1940 the band received first division rating at the District Contest, and from its ranks thirty-five soloists and ensembles were entered. From these groups, fifteen soloists and three ensembles were sent to the State Contest With the band. Finally, at the National Regional, held at Battle Creek, Michigan, the band placed high in the second division. The sol- olists and ensembles from the band also Won high ratings. These members were Jean Mcllvain, first division on the French horn, Robert McKay, first on cornet, and Adeltha Johnston, second on bassoon. The Brass Quintet Was awarded first division. During the fall of 1940 Mr. Rogers in- augurated a so-called Hstagger plan of rehearsals to arrange special practice periods during the school day. The band has performed at several Wed- nesday convocations and at the dedication of the Junior High School, as Well as sev- eral other appearances. To enable young players of orchestral instruments to receive training in their musical endeavors, the Valparaiso High School Orchestra offers instruction in the third major branch of the school's instru- mental music. Here under the direction of Mr. Harold Rogers, about thirty-two students meet every Monday after classes for rehearsal upon standard Works by recognized composers. On Wednesday af- ternoons, a special rehearsal for the string- ed section is usually held. The orchestra has played for several con- vocations, at the dedication of the Junior High School, at the Christmas program, and at the commencement exercises. While the orchestra has not appeared as often publicly as has the band, its Work has been highly creditable and Well received. At the State Contest at Elkhart in 1940, Kenneth Miles, a violinist in the organiza- tion, was awarded second division. In November, 1940, at Elkhart, Mr. Rog- ers Was elected president of the Northern Indiana School Band and Orchestra Asso- ciation for one year.

Glee Clubs Stage Patriotic Cantata Under the direction of Mrs. Myers, the Girls Glee Club, with an attendance of fifty-six, met each Tuesday and Friday morning and the Boys Glee Club, with an enrollment of thirty boys, met every Mon- day and Thursday morning. lt was decided this year to give a patri- otic cantata entitled Ballad for Americans which was based on four high spots in our national history: The Revolution, the growth of the Union, the Civil War, and the Machine Age. Mr. Burton Conkling, Valparaiso High School's English and dra- matics instructor, sang the baritone solo. The group participated in the all-county music festival held at the University Audi- torium in December. The Valparaiso group received good in pitch and enunciation, very good in tone quality, and excellent in inter- pretation and appearance. Choir robes were purchased for the glee clubs this year after they had been de- sired for a long time. These robes were purchased by the Board of Education. They are gray mohair, with white collars for the girls' robes. Each member of the glee club receives one-fifth of a credit a semester. School Day Tap.

Gym Classes Present Festival Once every year, the physical education classes of the Valparaiso City Schools com- bine forces to put on the Spring Festival. This festival, under the direction of Miss Elsie Harrison, the girls' gym teacher, is put on in Boucher Gymnasium. Last year the theme Was g'School Days . In a color- ful program, a day in an old-fashioned, one- room school was portrayed. On the stage was a small school, standing at the top of a little hill. An old-fashioned pump was outside the door. In front of the stage was a large Wooden book entitled School Days . Before each number, one of the high school girls danced out and turned to the appropriate page. The opening number, School Day's Tap , by the high school girls, showed a typical class in school. Readin' , the sec- ond number on the program, was enacted by the fourth grade boys and girls. Dressed in pirate costumes, the students represent- ed the story that was being read for that day. The third part of the program revealed a band of boys and girls Playing Hockey . The third grade pupils Went fishing in this number. The seventh and eighth grade girls, dressed as Dutch children, gave a clever skit on Ritin' H. Rithmetic',, a tumbling number, was given by the fifth and sixth grade boys. Aiding them were the high school girls. Recess Was then called for the boys. They had a good time playing Jump the Shot . The fifth and sixth grade girls, all Dunces , presented the Dance of the Duncesn. The last num- ber on the program, a picturesque dance by the high school physical education classes, portrayed a Spanish Waltz to illustrate a class in Hist'ry . This was the most outstanding number of the evening, one hundred and ten girls taking part. They were dressed as Spanish men and Women. The costumes, although not authentic, were very good copies of the originals. A nominal admission fee of twenty-five cents was charged, and the profits were put into a special fund for equipment for the girls' physical education department.

The schedule usually consists of eight or nine games, half of which are played at home. The boys not on the first team are organized into second and third squads and play corresponding teams. t Noonday league, organized some few years ago and discontinued when the half- day was inaugurated, was re-organized this year. Although touch football is played in the fall and softball comes into prom- inence in the spring, the league becomes better organized during the basketball sea- son. Basketball, with a much larger schedule than football, begins in November and ends in February. In the last few years a g'blind tourney during the Christmas hol- idays has been participated in by the team. The non-team boys were organized into teams and played two nights a week in the Central school gym. Baseball starts before basketball is hard- ly over, and has a schedule of seven or eight games, evenly divided between games at home and away. The small number of boys interested in baseball makes it hard to have a large team. Track is by far the most popular of the spring sports as is evidenced by the number taking part in it. With various meets at home and away the forty-odd trackmen generally have a successful season. Golf, although a minor sport, is interest- ing to those who participate in it.

Second, Third Teams Win Games The first contest of the season found the Valparaiso football reserves with a very promising outlook. The LaPorte team, the victim, lost by a score of 6-0 with Walter Woycik chalking up the only touchdown. Michigan City fell to the Viking reserves in a close 7-6 battle inside the state prison's gray walls. Until William Wellman inter- cepted a pass and ran 70 yards to set the stage for the Valpo score, the 6-0 edge of Michigan City loomed up very large. Valparaisols second team was nosed out 6-0 in their first defeat at Crown Point. Student referees seemed literally to dig up 15 yard penalties against the Vikings. The third team lost to the LaPorte frosh 34-0, and every Viking recruit was given a chance to play regard- less of his contribution. Michigan Cityls third team proved no better than the Valpo freshmen as they battled to a scoreless tie.

A After three consecutive defeats, the Crown Point eleven gained a 14-7 victory over the somewhat inexperienced squad. At the first home game many spectators witnessed a Victory of 37-0 over the Mon- ticello team which had been inactive for eight years. Warsaw made a whole-hearted attempt to defend themselves against the Valpo gridders but failed in a 12-8 victory due to the Viking's spectacular passing offense. However, the Vikings experienced a 34-0 defeat by their eternal enemy, LaPorte, whose precision and running ability brought about the disastrous end. Following the defeat by LaPorte, the green and whites were handed another loss of 31-0 by the Tolleston Blue Raiders, whose passing and running proved trouble- some to Valpo's gridders. The Kokomo Kats won a 32-13 victory over Coach Wigginsis boys at Kokomo. Duncan Garrison Ralph Doelling Robert Gray Charles Sink Walter Woycik Charles Eades Wendell Waskom Fifty Vikings Start Grid Season Encountering the Central Catholics of South Bend, the Vikings again emerged the losers by a score of 7-6. The Indians' brawn, and heavy penalties inflicted on the Valparaiso team, contributed to their de- feat. The Lowell eleven disappointed our Val- po Vikings by seeking their sixth victory, a 40-0 one which was the largest score rolled up in five years. The seniors on the team Were: Charles Sink, Willard Graves, Wendell Waskom, Robert Bagdon, Warren Hoover, Walter Molinder, Charles Eades, Gene Hart, and Wilford Murphy. Underclassmen Who played Were: Rals- ton Berrier, George Doelling, Ralph Doel- ling, Walter Woycik, Robert Gray, Duncan Garrison, Donald Findling, J ack Dooley, Charles Chester, Eugene Sanders, William Wellman, Harold Riddle, Richard Hender- son, Vance Burrus, Paul Havlick, Charles Younce, Alvin Beach, Thomas Jones, How- ard Billerbeck, George Ball, Robert Soli- day, Waldo Proffitt, Herman Corsbie, Nich- olas Polite, and John Frederick. Jack Kain Ralph Doelling William Bowman August Raelson Warren Hoover Vikings Win 0pening Games Starting off their season November 20, with a 31-25 victory over Crown Point, the Vikings launched a three game winning streak including Winamac and Horace Mann as their victims. This streak was cut short by Froebel and then by Washing- ton, Whiting and LaPorte fell victims to the Valparaiso five in that order, and then Roosevelt, only after Emerson had beaten the local boys. After this came a seven game losing streak ended by beating Em- erson. This victory was followed by three defeats which wound up the season. The holiday tourney found the Vikings bowing to South Bend and Mishawaka. With the seven out of 20 Wins in the reg- ular schedule, four of which were confer- ence games, plus the two games at the South Bend Tourney, gives only seven out of twenty-two wins for the season. As was evidenced in the above para- graphs, the whole season was a series of hot and cold waves, with no one player outstanding if the whole season is consid- ered. When one or two of the team would be hot, the rest might be as cold as the proverbial iceberg, or all might be luke- warm. Then, also, there was the trouble of slowing down in the latter part of the game, after playing hard in the first period or two. Walter Molinder, senior guard, used his left-handed shots to good advantage in the afore mentioned spotty victories. William Bowman, senior forward, made up for his handicap in size with numerous bursts of speed down the floor. Charles Eades, senior forward, although hindered part of the season by a broken finger, used it to the best of his ability before and after his accident. Bob Gray, junior guard, took ad- vantage of his height and brawn to reap in the rebounds, and also to shoot from the corner. Ralph Doelling, junior center, al- so was good on getting rebounds and his tip-ins helped considerably. Jack Kain, Robert Suesse, Richard Mar- rell, Warren Hoover, August Raelson, James Briscoe, and Donald Findling all showed that they knew the art of playing basketball by working very hard at every opportunity given them. All the boys de- serve a lot of credit for coming through under pressure. Robert Suesse Robert Gray Walter Molinder Richard Marrell Charles Eades Vikings Lose in Semi-finals Meeting their first opponent of the sec- tional, Valparaiso whipped the Liberty Lions, Porter county champs, 37-17. Wal- ter Molinder led the Viking scoring with nine points and was closely followed by August Raelson with eight. The second and third quarters gave the Vikings their great advantage when they outscored the Lions 2-1. Building up a big lead in the first quar- ter cinched the second game for the Vik- ings, but not before the Portage Indians put up a systematized fight in the last half of the contest. The score was 33-25, en- titling Valparaiso to participate in the semi-finals. Merrillville proved the upset of the Val- paraiso basketeers in the semi-finals, by a score of 22-21. The Vikings were ahead until the very last of the third quarter, when the Pirates forged out in front and stayed there until the final gun.

The compiled statistics show that the season netted the reserves three wins in twenty contests, these being one against Crown Point, and two against La- Porte. Their type of play seemed again to re- flect influence frorn their elders. The house-a-fire tactics in the first quarters would be slowed down in the final sessions when it was necessary to be able to guard any advantage obtained in the early stages of the game. The scoring was usually even, with a few exceptions, when one player would hit the basket quite frequently.

Viking Nine Play Seven Games In 1940, the Viking baseball team was scheduled to play seven games, only tvvo of which were played at home. The team Won four of the games, including a forfeit win from Hammond Tech. In the opening game of the season, Valpo defeated Chesterton 9-1 on the home field. The second game was with Morgan, who was defeated 7-6 in a hard fought contest. An error on the part of the Cherokees in the sixth inning, coupled with four hits, handed the Vikings their second victory on Valpo home ground. The Wildcats of Hammond conquered the Vikings with a score of 2-1 in a close contest at Hammond. The Valparaiso boys gathered more hits than their hosts, but failed to produce the needed result. Using an illegal player lost the game for Hammond Tech., although they trounced the Valpo team 13-5. J ourneying to East C'hicago for the sea- son's fifth game, the Valparaiso team lost 6-1 to the Rough Riders. The Vikings man- aged to get one hit, which, coupled with an error and a Walk, accounted for the score. The Washington Senators were not so lucky, being handed a 3-2 defeat by the Vikings. Out-hitting the Oilers of Whiting in the seventh and last game of the season did no good, as the Valpo Vikings lost a close game 6-5.

Four of these were dual meets while the remaining con- test Was a triangular one. The Gary Sec- tional brought the only low score in the season for the Valpo squad, as Valparaiso scored well up in the LaPorte Invitational and the Knox Relays. Track is by far the most popular of the spring sports, and each year finds a few more boys interested in it, although it has always attracted a fairly large number of students. 1 With due respect to the other members of the team, there were four members of the squad who showed outstanding per- formances. These four were: Robert Gray, who was much better, as a sophomore, in the half-mile, than he was when a fresh- man, John Cleveland, who was more out- standing in the shorter distances, Warren Hoover, who showed endurance and skill in the mile runs, and Steve Kriston, who put the shot for considerable distances.

Golfers Win Championship The Viking 'tee-men concluded a very successful season in May of 1940. The ma- jority of the victories came from the Cal- umet region, and the defeats from the eastern section. With the victories, the boys took the western division champion- ship for the fourth consecutive year. Los- ing Jim Mahoney, the ace golfer, was quite a blow to the team, but the remaining four were able to hang up an envious record. Robert Stoner, William Ramey, and Wil- liam Dougall were the seniors on the team with Charles Sink the only underclassman. Awards Letters: Robert Stoner, William Ramey, William Dougall, Charles Sink. Noonday Icagzzcrs Play a lively game of torzzclz football. 65 Boys Hold N oonday Sports Noonday league was again inaugurated when the full day of school began in the fall of 1940. It had been discontinued be- cause of a change in the school program. The league is divided into three sports harmonizing with the seasons. Football, while not officially organized into teams in the fall, usually consists of squads chosen from day to day by self-ap- pointed captains. These squads generally play touch football. At times this be- comes quite rough, but the participants usually come off the field in condition for the afternoon classes. The basketball season finds many more taking part in this sport than in football. After a week or two of practice, the boys are organized into teams by anyone fortu- nate enough to find five, six, or seven boys to his liking. Coach Ralph Powell usually urges the players to form at least eight teams which play each other according to schedule. Two schedules are drawn up during the season as there are two series of games. In the spring, softball teams are chosen in the same manner as the basketball teams with each team playing until school closes. her ability. ment. Elsie Harrison Physical Education G. A. A. Revises Points This year a new system of grading has been instituted in the girls' physical educa- tion classes. In keeping with this plan the girls are given a certain number of points for such things as having clean suits, win- ning their games, or participating in G. A. A. after-school activities. By means of this new system each girl is able to guess just about What her grade will be by the number of points she has earned for these various things. Miss Harrison stated that she believes the new system is more fair to the girls, because they are able to make their own grades. Last fall the G. A. A. found it necessary to revise their constitution because of sev- eral points which were incorrect or mis- leading. The most important of these changes was the noonday league point sys- tem. In the past girls have been given 25 points for participating in the sport, 25 more if they won or 10 more for runner-up. Now each girl is given points for going out once, and for each time she participates in the sport she receives five additional points. This system has proved to be more satis- factory than the former one, because each girl earns the points she receives. Instructor Serves Four Years Miss Elsie Harrison has been a member of the physical educa- tion department for four years, and during each she has proved Under her supervision, the May Festival is held each year to raise funds for equipment used in the physical education depart- Miss Harrison also has charge of the social dancing classes which meet in the school library. President Wins Cup The winner of the G. A. A. cup last year was Martha Crisman, president of G. A. A. for 1939-40. This cup was presented to her at the annual award day. She was not allowed to keep it, but had her name en- graved on it and a small silver pin was given her in its place. The cup is each year presented to the most outstanding girl in G. A. A. on the basis of leadership, ability, and sportsmanship. .Martha C 7'Z..S'l1ll1ll', 1940 sclztiolf, was G. A. A. cap wi1z11e1'. G. A. A.

Each year the management of all phases of the Girls' Athletic Association is en- trusted to a group of girls known as the G. A. A. board. These girls are chosen in the spring by the newly elected officers and the sponsor, Miss Harrison. They are picked for their ability in the certain field for which they are selected and fortheir interest in and loyalty to this organization of which they are members. The group is composed of sixteen mem- bers. Rosemary Claussen, president, Marion Scoville, vice president, Janet Shauer, secretary, and Margaret Snow, treasurer. These four girls were elected by the members of the club in May, 1940, and will serve until May, 1941. On the board are the chairmen of various sports who are as follows: Hilde Buck, soccer, Mary Thiesen, archery, Marillynn Heap, volleyball, Arlene Benson, basketball, An- na Mary Squire, tumbling, Marie Morth- land, baseball, Doris Lain, tennis, LaVergne Niequist and Isabel Fabing, noon-day league, Frances White, art, Rosemary Koch, program, Elizabeth Foxworthy, mis- cellaneous sports, Patricia Wolf, scrapbook, and Mary Lou Peck, equipment manager. Girls Awarded by Points The G. A. A. offers not only much en- joyment for girls interested in athletics, but also a chance to earn several awards. The first award is given when a girl has earned 250 points. It is easily possible that she can receive this prize when she is a freshman. The award is in the form of numerals indicating graduation year. The second award is a G. A. A. mono- gram which is given when a girl has earned 650 points. This emblem can be worn on a sweater or can be kept as a trophy. The numerals and the monogram are presented at the annual basketball banquet. The third award is a sweater which is given to the girls at award day when they have earned 1500 points. Those who re- ceived sweaters last year were: Glaydis Basinger, Arlene Benson, Hilde Buck, Rosemary Claussen, Alice Davis, Maril- lynn Heap, Rita Schoof, Marion Scoville, and Janet Shauer. The final award is a chevron given for each additional 500 points. Those girls who received chevrons last year were: Marcele Arndt, Glaydis Basinger, Rosemary Claus- sen, Gladys Makovsky, and Martha Cris- man, who received two. Senior G, A. A.

Holds Banquet, Meetings The main social function of the Girl's Athletic Association is the basketball ban- quet Which is held in the early spring. Last year this event Was held in the school library. The food for the occasion was prepared by a church organization. The tables carried out the Indian motif which was the theme of the banquet. Following the dinner a varied program consisting of musical numbers, readings, a play, and a speech by a Purdue Univer- sity Physical Education student. The banquet was presided over by Mar- tha Crisman, G. A. A. president last year, who introduced the speakers on the pro- gram. The entire function was planned and carried out by the members of the food and entertainment committees with the aid of the art chairman and Miss Harrison. The G. A. A. holds its meetings on Thursday mornings from 8:32 to 9:00 in room 102 once every two Weeks. These meetings are presided over by the president, Rosemary Claussen, and a reg- ular business meeting constitutes the first portion of the period. When all club mat- ters have been dispensed With, the meeting is turned over to Rosemary Koch, who is program chairman, or one oi the members of her committee which consists of Kath- leen Nolan, Betty Grace Varner, and Bon- nie Podreskey. The programs may consist of student talent in the form of short plays, readings, or instrumental numbers, or a contest or some form of game may be conducted. The first meeting of each semester is de- voted to introducing the G. A. A. board to the new members. Soccer First Major Sport The first major sport of the year is soc- cer. This year it was held on Tuesday and Friday afternoons from 4 o'clock until 5:30 on the girls' soccer field. Hilde Buck, chairman of the sport, with Miss Harrison, made certain that each girl who signed up was placed on a team. One of the new rules this season was pertaining to substituting on teams. There can be only two substitutes on a team and one girl cannot substitute on more than two teams, that is, she can play in only three games including the one her own team plays. This year eighty-seven girls received points for soccer. The round-robin tourna- ment was held and the winning team was composed of these girls, Harriet Arnold, captain, Elizabeth Foxworthy, Dorothy Gordon, Kathryn Hippensteel, Mary Hol- lett, Victoria Lindberg, LaVergne Niequist, Delora Shupe, and Ann Underwood. Following the tournament the class teams were chosen. For their first three years in high school the senior class had won the class tournament and this year they were determined to win their fourth consecutive championship. The preliminary games were played be- tween the sophomores and the freshmen with the sophomores winning 2 to 0. The second game saw the juniors playing the seniors with a tie resulting. Since no ties can be played off in a soccer game each team was given five penalty kicks. The seniors failed to score, but the juniors made good on their third kick and won the game. The final game saw the sophomores and Girls engage in a lively game of soccer on the aortlz playing jqeld. the juniors fighting for the championship. The final score was 4 to 0 in favor of the juniors which proved them to be the victors. The members of the class teams were as follows: freshmen-Dorothy Becker, Sarah Covert, Ruth Crisman, Beverly Edwards, Dorothy Gordon, Shirley Hepner, Mary Hollett, Elinor Julian, Betty Jungjohan, Victoria Lindberg, Leola Soliday, Joanne Ragsdale, Mary Mayer, Ruth Mayer, soph- omores-Harriet Arnold, Wilma Berkey, W'ilna.

P h y s i c al Education classes organize teams and play daring class periods. Volleyball First Indoor Sport The first cold days find the first G. A. A. indoor sport, volleyball, beginning. This year 110 girls signed up for this sport which proves its popularity. The volleyball chairman, Marillynn Heap, and Miss Harrison arranged the group so that twelve teams with nine mem- bers on each team were formed. For the first four weeks the G. A. A. schedule was quite unorganized because of boys' basket- ball practice. During this time volleyball was held on Monday afternoons in the junior high school gym, and on Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 o'clock. After Thanks- giving, however, the regular Monday and Friday afternoons were the meeting times. When the round robin tournament was completed, which meant that each team had played all the others, it was found that team five was the winner. This group won ten of the eleven games played. Team twelve proved to be runner-up, having won seven games, lost three, and tied one. Each team in this tournament played every other team twice and at the end of the alotted time team twelve was the winner. Following the round robin tournament the class teams were chosen by Marillynn and Miss Harrison. These teams consisted of the most able players in each class ac- cording to both their skill and their attend- ance. When the slips had been drawn designating which teams would play, it was found that the seniors were to play the juniors, and the sophomores the freshmen. The end of these games proved the win- ners to be the juniors and the sophomores. The championship game was played and the happy winners were the sophomores. It happened to be the first tournament that this class had won since they entered high school and this, of course, made the occa- sion even more momentous for the girls in this group. The members of the sophomore team were: Betty Frazier, captain, Dorothy Foltz, Helen Peck, Elaine Owens, Jean Holt, Caryl Lofquist, Wilma Berkey, Mary Nolan, Edith Eichelberg, Harriet Arnold, and sub- stitutes Mary McGarvey, Marilyn Lam- bert, Dorothy Kraft, Mary Helen Wark, Jeanette McKim, and Lois Jordan. Basketball is Major Sport Basketball is the second of the three major sports. It takes place during the months of December, January, February and the first two weeks in March, on Mon- day and Friday evenings after school. The 123 girls who reported for this sport were divided into A and B teams. Those who were placed on the A teams had proved themselves, at some previous time, to be better than average in ability to play the game. Those on the B teams were the inexperienced girls who had never before participated in basketball. There were ten B teams and eight A teams. A round robin tournament was held, and it was found that the A team number two, composed of the following girls: Lorna Owens, captain, Jean Holt, Arlene Benson, Elizabeth Foxworthy, Betty Frazier, and Rosemary Claussen, had emerged victorious, with team three as runner-up. The winning B team was number four, and a tie between teams two and three resulted for the runner-up posi- tion. The members of the winning team were: Virginia Makovsky, captain, Dorothy Becker, Shirley Hepner, Dorothy Gordon, Elaine Owens, and Joan Stinchfield. When the round robin had been con- cluded, the class teams were chosen by basketball chairman, Arlene Benson, and Miss Harrison. The members of the freshman team were Victoria Lindberg, captain, Jean Stinch- field, Sarah Jane Covert, Edna MacDonald, Ruth McKim, Marjorie Crosby, Joanne R0S677ZUl'jV Clazzsscn fakes czim for ci free Hzrozo.

LaVergne Niequist, captain, Doris Lain, Mary Lou Peck, Mary Jane Bucher, Kath- leen Nolan, Frances Erea, Miriam Brown, Marge Holst, Bette Peters, and Florence Shinabargar were the members of the junior team. The seniors who made the team were: Marion Scoville, captain, Anna Mary Squire, Marie Morthland, Rosemary Claus- sen, Hilde Buck, Janet Shauer, Lorna Owens, Arlene Benson, Rosemary Koch, and Margaret Snow. The class team games which followed saw the seniors matched with the sopho- mores and juniors tangling with the fresh- men. The sophomores and the juniors were the finalists. In the championship game the juniors over-powered a hard- fighting sophomore team by a score of ten to four. Shortly after this sport comes to a close the annual basketball banquet is held as the main social function of the G. A. A. The theme of the event this year is going to be the stages in the life of a Valpo Etta with the freshmen as the babies, the soph- omores as the grade school children, the juniors as junior high sub-debs, and the seniors as debutantes.

Last spring found sixty-one girls coming out for this popular activity which was held on the girls' play- ing field on Monday and Friday afternoons from 4 o'clock until 5:15. Five teams were organized by Miss Har- rison and baseball chairman, Dorothy Graves. The captains of these teams were: team one, Marie Morthlandg team two, La- Vergne Niequist, team three, Janet Shauerg team four, Marion Scoville, and team five, Marcele Arndt. The winners of the round-robin tourna- ment were the players on team five. This group won more of the games it played than did any of the other teams. Members of class teams were chosen ac- cording to their interest in the game, abil- ity to play it, and attendance. The class teams were composed of these girls: freshmen, Harriet Arnold, Wilma Berkey, Wilna Davis, Betty Frazier, Jean Holt, Caryl Lofquist, Virginia Makovsky, Frances McGillicuddy, Jeanette McKim, Mary Nolan, Helen Peck, Bonnie Podresky, and Mary Helen Warkg sophomores, Mary Helen Breen, Mary Jane Bucher, Virginia Day, Rosemary Fulton, Norma Jean Haley, Doris Lain, Kate Nolan, Virginia Paul, Mary Lou Peck, and Martha Wharton, Baseball Fourth Major Sport juniors, Arlene Benson, Rosemary Claus- sen, Hilde Buck, Elizabeth Foxworthy, Marion Scoville, Rita Schoof, Janet Shauer, Anna Mary Squire, Betty Varner, and Frances White, seniors, Marcele Arndt, Glaydis Basinger, Martha Crisman, Dor- othy Graves, Eleanor Dalke, Evelyn Dalke, Alice Davis, Nancy Howard, Della Klein, and Gladys Makovsky. The tournament began with the juniors playing the sophomores, and the seniors playing the freshmen. These two games were won by the juniors captained by Rose- mary Claussen, and the freshmen captained by Mary Nolan. The final game was played on a Friday afternoon shortly before the close of school. After three innings of play, the juniors were declared the winners. The junior class won the class tournament when they were freshmen but lost to a strong junior class last year. As usual there were many interruptions into the baseball season because of spring activities but as is also usual it turned out to be very successful. Dorothy Graves gives liz,- straetlorrts to baseball class. Archers Show Skill William Tell was such an expert yeoman that he shot an apple from the top of the head of his son. The G. A. A. members do not claim any such honor as this, but weekly practice makes them skilled archers. Last fall sixty-four G. A. A. mem- bers practiced archery from 4:00 to 5:00 on Monday and Thursday under the supervision of Mary Thiesen. Each girl was required to shoot fifty arrows at the distance of thirty feet from the target. At the end of the tournament the scores were added up and it was found that Mary Thiesen was the winner with 190 points, and LaVergne Nie- quist was runner-up with 146 points.

Tumbling a Minor Sport Tumbling, a minor sport, was held this year on the first four Mondays of the bas- ketball season.

It is growing very rapidly in popularity, both with girls who stay for lunch at school and for those who go home. The three minor sports have two chair- men since there are often two sports being held at the same time. Those girls who are in charge are LaVergne Niequist and Isabel Fabing. To participate in noonday league sports a girl must be back from her lunch period by 12:15, and if she has not returned by 12:30, she must forfeit her game. The names of those girls who are to play each day are posted on the G. A. A. bulletin board. The first noonday league sports of the school year are healthball and horseshoe, which are held out-of-doors. Healthball was directed by Isabel while LaVergne had charge of horseshoe. The singles horseshoe tournament was won by Rosemary Claus- sen with Ruth Barkley as runner-up. In the healthball tournament Arlene Benson was victorious while LaVergne Niequist was runner-up. When cold weather came, the noonday league sports traveled indoors. The first indoor sport was ping-pong which is indeed one of the most popular noonday league games, which statement is proved by the Noonday Sports Prove Popular fact that seventy-one girls signed up to play. The end of the tournament found three girls still undefeated. These girls were Frances Erea, LaVergne Niequist, and Virginia Paul. Frances and Virginia played and Virginia was the winner. The final contest was played the same day, and Vir- ginia Paul was the winner. Doubles ping-pong also had an exciting tournament with the final winners being Doris Lain and Frances Erea, who were the victors over Virginia Paul and Louise Swisher. The next noon sport to forge ahead was bowling which was held in the girls shower room because the boys' noonday league basket all games were being held in the gymnasium. Sixty-two girls reported for this activity. Following bowling, shuffleboard was held in the gymnasium and was directed by Isabel Fabing. Both singles and dou- bles were played. The last noon sport was badminton. This is the first year that this sport has been played as a part ofthe regular sports' pro- gram.
