One of the most eventful days of the year was the 1961 Homecoming held on September 22. Ac- tivities began with the traditional senior skit por- traying a typical Homecoming as seen in a dream by Coach Paul Miller. That evening the annual Homecoming game was played against Horace Mann. A delightful evening of dancing followed the game. The peak of excitement was reached as Student Council President, Terry Johnston, an- nounced the seven girls on the Homecoming Court. The Homecoming Queen of 1961 was Brenda Brown, and the runner-up was Barbara Bush. With the completion of the Queen’s Dance, the 1961 Homecoming festivities were ended. ITFT TO MCHT: T Johnston C.

The couples had their pictures taken against a solid background covered with delicate snowflakes. With the beginning of the Grand March at ten o’clock, couples paraded before the spectators in their holiday finery, and the girls received their bids. Then couples enjoyed the rest of the evening dancing to the music of Arnie Brown and his band.

The study of the plant and animal kingdoms through leaf collections, dissections, individual projects, and microscopic work was the function of biology, taught by Mrs. Carolyn Bush and Mr. Paul Miller. Chemistry involved learning the com- position of matter through laboratory experiments. The teachers were Mr. Roger Williams and Mr. Gordon Janowsky. Mr. Janowsky also taught elec- tronics and physics. Electronics involved the un- derstanding of the principles concerning volts, ohms, and amps. Physics involved the physical principles of science fund) putting them to work.

Business teachers, Miss Donna Skruber, Mr. Garth Johnson, Mr. Bryce Bohn, and Mr. John Wiggins spent this year teaching students to pre- pare for future jobs in the business world. Book- keeping, shorthand, and typing were offered to those interested in clerical or secretarial work. Practice was the key word for typing students. This was also true in shorthand as students ad- vanced from the formation of simple words to the rapid pace of dictation. The bookkeeping students strived for accuracy. Business law and general business were offered to those interested in obtaining a basic under- standing of business terms and practices. Guest speakers were invited to talk to the classes. Much time was spent in discussion, so that students could apply their knowledge to their lives.

Construction of clear sentences . . . with one complete thought . . . with proper emphasis . . . with correct gram- mar . . . one of the challenges for sophomore English students. 18 To an English student, the learning of the “tools” of English and how to use them is the basic goal. The underclassmen concentrated on the fundamentals of English grammar so they could better express themselves orally and in writ- ten work. The purpose of underclass literature is to learn to appreciate the different types of lit- erature. Speech was a new challenge for the juniors. After a semester of training in which they learned the rules of public speaking, they put their new knowledge to work and staged the an- nual Speech Banquet. Junior literature consisted of the chronological development of American liter- ature. Grammar review, college prep, and stressed composition made up the senior grammar course, highlighted by the well-known term paper. In the semester of senior literature, students studied Eng- lish literature as an aid to forming a personal philosophy of life. Teaching these English courses were Miss Aud- rey Shauer, Mrs. Margaret Filipowski, Mrs. Linda Bixler, Mrs. Mary Bowman, Mrs. Frieda Schiek, Mrs. Ruth Froberg, Miss Florence Craig, Mr. Olen Griesbaum, Mr. Roy Brown, and Mr. Burton Conkling.

Each year more and more students are taking one of the three foreign language courses offered at VHS. These are German, taught by Mr. Robert Hummel; Spanish, taught by Mrs. Delores Bauer and Mrs. Frieda Schiek; and Latin, taught by Mrs. Mary Bowman and Mrs. Ruth Froberg. A third year of German was added to the cur- riculum this year. After learning vocabulary, sen- tence construction, and some translation in the first two years, third year German students spent time studying German history, literature, and con- versation. Spanish students read a novel, l oche Oscura en Lima, wrote plays and Christmas cards in Spanish, and carried on a foreign correspondence with teens in South and Central America. Latin students sang Christmas songs in Latin and read selections from Commentaries on the Gallic War and The Argonauts. Magazine articles and drawings . . . collected by Latin students . . . accompany class study . . . add interest to work.

Studying Past and Present For a Look into the Future From historical backgrounds ... by realizing subcurrents and trends of world action ... by learning about economy and government . . . from the study of geographical positions ... by outlin- ing the needs for modern living . . . students find social sciences applicable to our changing limes. Civics and economics, two subjects required for graduation from VHS, have been found to be very useful in the future lives of the students. Civics students found this by starting with the beginning developments and then studying the various de- partments and branches of our government and its functions. To be able to better organize per- sonal economy in advanced life, it is necessary for the individual to understand the economic forces of society so they could better adjust themselves into that society. The civics teacher was Mr. Jack Hildreth, and Mr. Roy Johnson was the economics instructor. Sociology classes spent much of their time study- ing statistics and realities of family relationships. The purpose of such a course is to help the in- dividuals make proper adjustments in their own families and for better growth as citizens. Soci- ology teachers were Mr. Claude Gaston, and Mr. Jack Hildreth. World history students found that by extending their appreciation of past culture, they could learn of early mistakes and their effect on the world of today. Since the present is based on the past, U.S. history students also found that an understanding of the past was necessary if they were to under- stand the present. To better deal with present problems and to plan for the future, one must try to understand the relationships of countries in the preceding years. Teachers of history courses were Mrs. Linda Bixler, Mr. Dale Ciciora, Mr. Roy Johnson, Mr. Claude Gaston, and Mr. William Brinker. Economic geography was the study of the coun- tries’ exports and imports. It also showed the re- lationship between a country’s topography and climate and their effect on a country’s prosperity. Mr. William Brinker taught this course. 23 «LW£ Tjj Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas . . . probing deeply into ancient cultures . . . man’s achievements and failures . . . from Stone Age to the Atomic Age . . . world history students enrich their comprehension of the affairs of today.

Math is a science which involves solving for the unknown. This year VHS offered courses in gen- eral math, algebra, geometry, and advanced math. In algebra the unknown was solved for through numerous equations. In geometry solving the unknown involved the construction and visualiza- tion of figures. The advanced math course included sections in solid geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and an overall review of all math learned. The math teachers were Mr. William Eiler, Mr. Guilford Gurtner, Mr. Charles Stuber, Mr. Glen Ellis, and Mr. Wesley Maiers. 25 Highly complicated mechanisms . . . delicate instruments . . . firm concentration on the moment’s activity . . . exactness with a pencil’s movement . . . with a hand’s gesture.

Miss Edith Weems 26 Vocational arts courses are among the many im- portant courses in the curriculum of VHS. Included under vocational arts are wood shop, machine shop, mechanical and architectural drawing. In wood shop Mr. Paul Brammell taught the boys to use the different machines in making useful articles for the home, such as stools, shelves, and spice racks. Mr. Kenneth Pifer, the machine shop teacher, taught the boys to exercise care in the making of the re- quired project which was vises. The boys in me- chanical and architectural drawing learned to use the various drawing instruments under the direc- tion of Mr. Robert Rhoda. Miss Edith Weems taught her students the fun- damentals of various homemaking techniques. In cooking, girls learned principles of nutrition and food buying besides receiving training in cooking skills. Knowledge of the sewing machine, patterns, and style of clothing increased as the girls made practical and attractive clothing. Advanced courses in home economics included the study of child care, first aid, and nursing. Such training provided girls with background for future home planning duties and service professions.

Mr. Virgil Sweet Miss Olive Wade 28 Developing Sound Bodies Awareness of Safety Providing practical information . . . preparing students for responsibility . . . health courses em- phasize common sense for safety while physical education classes release teenage energy . . . train muscles to respond with agility. In health and safety classes, Miss Olive Wade and Mr. Virgil Sweet taught their students how to stay physically fit. The names of important bones and muscles, a proper diet, and first aid treatment were some of the things emphasized in this re- quired course. The physical education classes provided the ex- ercise necessary for physical fitness. In these classes the students learned to use such apparatus as the parallel bar, springboard, flying rings, and slide horse. Mr. Sweet taught his boys’ classes tumbling, gymnastics, dodge ball, volley ball, basketball, soft- ball, and touch football. The girls in Miss Wade’s classes learned archery, speedaway, softball, volley ball, tumbling, basketball, field hockey, and golf. Drivers’ training is an extremely popular one- semester course. The students learn to drive the automatic the first half of the course and then changed to manual for the second half. Teachers of this course were Mr. John Wiggins, during the school year, and Mr. Dale Ciciora, during the summer. Getting into the drivers’ training car . . .

At the end of August, the Marching Vikings be- gan practice for marching season. This included performances at all home football games except the last and participation in the Chamber of Com- merce Santa Claus parade. The concert band, un- der the direction of Mr. Robert Miller, was quite active this year. Playing a concert of new music for the Indiana State Music Teachers’ Convention at Indianapolis, several concerts, the district and state solo and ensemble contests, a student convo- cation, the state band contest in April, and playing at graduation were the activities of the band mem- bers this year. 30 Richness of costume and voice . . . the Carolers . . .

Both the Girls’ Glee Club and Concert Choir, as well as the Carolers and Ninenotes, performed. The highlight of the concert was selections from Handel’s Messiah, fea- turing guest soloists. The district and state solo and ensemble contests gave choir members the opportunity to be compared with vocalists from both the district and state. The state choir con- test held in the spring, a student convocation, a spring concert, and singing for graduation were among the many activities of the choir. 31 Beauty Through Creativity With Prospective of a Teen Placing impressions on canvas ... in deep color tones ... as intricate designs . . . from freedom of imagination . . . as a reflection of symbolism. Art students had a wide variety of projects and media with which to work. Etchings on a scratch board were done by the application of India ink to the board’s waxy surface then etching of the desired picture. Thin strips of plywood went into the making of the mobiles. For Christmas, dolls were made by the artists by molding the head of the doll from plaster of Paris and then adding the features. The Oasis Club sponsored a poster con- test advertising their Christmas bazaar. Mr. Cain also instructed the students in making pen and ink drawings and the use of pastels. 32 Self-expression in decorated cylinders . . . construction paper of red . . . green . . . gold . . . blue . . . scissors curling, slashing, trimming . . . absorbtion in creativity . . . from an idea of the mind to matter.

Sequel to an Adventure Flashback of Memories Viewed, by the student as a journal of annual progress ... as an accumulation of signatures and fond memories . . . viewed by the staff as a creation ... as a result of long hours, work, deadlines, worry, strain . . . as one big responsibility on many uneasy minds. Through much work and planning, the Valenian staff endeavored to provide the students with a col- lection of highlights, in the form of pictures and words, of the school year. The process began last summer when Jane Lamb and Jane Jolley received specialized training at the Yearbook Institute. Then the work really began. Theme, cover design, and page allotment had to be decided along with many small details regarding each page in the book. Working hard to meet deadlines was the goal for the rest of the year. After the yearbook was com- pleted, the, staff also had to plan and work over the summer supplement. Valenian Day brought the height of satisfaction and anticipation to the staff members. SITTING: M.

Bi-weekly the subscribing students received an issue of the school newspaper, the Valpost. This year it had an entirely new look; among these new features were the senior column and a student interview section. The Valpost staff spent many hours preparing each issue, and hardly was one completed when another had to be started. Out- standing reporters in each class were rewarded for their work. The deserving freshman received a basketball season ticket. The sophomore was placed in line for editor. The outstanding junior was honored by becoming third-page editor, and the senior of distinction received an award for his exceptional contributions. 38 SITTING: P. Biggs, V. Townsend, S. Shook, K.

Interpretation Makes the Play Voice and Action Have a Part Drama ... a reflection of culture ... an insight into understanding ... an expression of realism or fantasy ... a portrayal of tragedy and comedy . . . a pageant of life itself ... a creature of mood and change. By becoming a member of Dramatics Club, each person displayed his interest in learning about acting and the technical skills involved in the pro- duction of plays. Four plays were presented during the year, one for each class. The freshmen saw the comedy, ' Elmer and the Love Bug.” The remain- ing plays were ‘Trial by Moonlight,” “Splint for a Broken Heart,” and “Knave of Hearts.” Because the Dramatics Club had the largest mem- bership ever this year, the thespians of VHS at- tended two stage plays in Chicago, co-sponsored the Christmas Formal, and entered a dramatics contest at Calumet Township Junior High School.

Girls working in the four offices each hour pro- vided valuable assistance in filing, answering the telephone, running errands, typing, and filling in reports. Many of the office girls gained practical experience in office practice for future occupations. Student secretaries, those students enrolled in advanced typing, served teachers in many helpful ways. They typed tests and study guides, graded papers, and worked the mimeograph machine. Stu- dent secretaries were given the opportunity to learn more about secretarial skills.

As the governing body of VHS, the Student Council followed democratic principles in approv- ing all school functions. Each homeroom had rep- resentation, elected by the homeroom students. The Council served as a means for solving many prob- lems arising within the school. Its duties included collection of money for the Flower Fund, regula- tion of the school calendar, and collection of money for plays and special convocations.

During the Christmas season the Y-Teens shared the sponsorship of the Christ- mas Formal, decorated the halls of the school, and went Christmas caroling. In February the King of Hearts Dance was presented to raise money for a worthy cause. With the party for dependent children at the Shultz-Lewis Home, the Mother- Daughter Banquet, the car wash, and the bake sale, the Y-Teens completed a busy and very successful year.

' . a development of skills, friendship, sportsmanship, and teamwork. As an introduction to GAA, the annual coketail party presented the purpose, program, and various sports to new members. Activities that followed during the year were the Thanksgiving Dance, the Big and Little Sister Party, and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The sale of sweatshirts and the spring car- wash were two favorable money-making projects for the year. At the GAA banquet, active members received awards; the seniors performed their tra- ditional skit; and next year’s officers were an- nounced. Aimed at the target . . . silent arrows swiftly find their mark . . . just as aching biceps and sore fingers find no relief from long hours of practice. GAA BOARD — STANDING: S. Rowland, F.

Led by Ken Jankowski and Ed Rickman, co-captains, the Cross Country runners downed twenty-five teams to win the LaPorte Sectional. The Vikings journeyed to the State Meet in In- dianapolis, finishing third by one point in a field of twenty-four. The prospects for next year’s team look good since only two lettermen are graduating.

Playing some of their best ball, the Vikings defeated several Calumet area teams. The most notable of these was a one-point victory over Gary Tolleston. Rec- ords in both field goal and free throw shooting were broken. The field goal record now stands at 45.6% and the free throw record at 77.8%, the highest high school average in the country.

Mr. Morris Groverman, Jr., member In our community school system, the Board of Education is the governing and policy-making body. It consists of five members who rotate their offices periodically. The president, vice president, treas- urer, and a fifth member are elected by the City Council. The secretary is appointed by the Center Township Advisory Board. These members are re- sponsible for the education of the Valparaiso and Center Township students. In keeping with this responsibility, the Board has planned and carefully watched the construction of the Thomas Jefferson Junior High School to be completed in the fall of 1962. Other duties include approving teachers’ contracts, studying and approving the budget, reg- ulating school curriculum, and following long- range plans in the building of new classrooms and in the purchasing of school busses. 76 Educational Leader of Community Schools Superintendent of schools . . . admin- istrator of policies reflective of local de- mands . . . consolidation of national trends with the educational needs of the community . . . professional approach to the development of a workable edu- cational system • . . . advancement of a curriculum for the college-bound and for the vocational student . . . teamwork between the school board, the superin- tendent, the staff, the student body. Mr. G. Warren Phillips, superintendent Our school system is honored to have as its su- perintendent one who began, on April 1, 1962, a four year term on the executive board of the Amer- ican Association of School Administrators. This position resulted from an election through ballot- ing among fifteen thousand members in fifty states and twenty-five foreign countries. The AASA elects one board member each year. Mr. Phillips is the first Indiana representative to be elected to this national office. Mr. Phillij )s has long been recognized as a leader in the educational circles. Prior to his election to the national office, he served by appointment on the Advisory Council, the Council of State Presi- dents, and the Regional Committee of the AASA. In addition to these he has held other offices: president of the Indiana Association of School Ad- ministrators, chairman of the policies committee of IASA, member of the Governor’s Conference on Higher Education of Phi Delta Kappa, and mem- ber of the Porter County School Reorganization Committee. Mr. Phillips, a 1927 graduate of DePauw Uni- versity, received his Master of Science degree from Indiana University. He also did graduate work at Purdue University and Columbia University. He has been superintendent of the Valparaiso Com- munity Schools since 1944. School policy, employ- ment of teachers, budgets and financial control, tax rates, educational facilities, present and future building plans, and newer methods and teaching techniques occupy the mind of this busy executive. Of immediate concern is the completion of the new Thomas Jefferson Junior High School «nd the prob- lems of opening school in this new building in September of 1962. 77 Criticizing Constructively Advising Effectively For the operation of an efficient school . . . di- vision of responsibilities . . .

Besides the stacks of paper work, he must represent the school in many public-relation affairs. His keen interest in all school activities, both academic and social, is well-known and much appreciated by the students. As assistant principal, Mr. James Mundy is in charge of the attendance office where all records of absentees are kept. He is also in charge of hall monitors and locker combinations and is a sponsor of the Student Council. Mr. Alfred Henkel, the guidance director, helps students in their choice of a course of study. Be- cause he is in charge of all scheduling of classes, he is a very busy man during the summer. He in- terviews all seniors and helps them choose a col- lege and or career. He spends much time admin- istering tests to help students realize their capabili- ties and interests. Mr. Thomas Roberts is the industrial coordinator of the Valparaiso Community Schools. In his job he supervises building maintenance and construc- tion and serves as director of school transportation. Secretaries to the above men aid in keeping the offices running smoothly. Mrs. Price, secretary to Mr. Telle, acts as registrar for the main office. Mrs. Tofte, secretary to Mr. Mundy and Mr. Henkel, keeps various records up to date.

This eager- ness was shown as they participated in sports and organizational activities. At first they were bewil- dered, but by the end of the year they had adjusted to another phase of their school life.

The V-CIub has as its goal the promotion of athletics and sportsmanship at VHS. Sponsored by Mr. William Eiler, the main function of the club this year was to furnish ushers for the home basketball games. Wearing the “Varsity V” these boys served as examples to the entire school of how important good sportsmanship is. To pro- tect the Club, it has the right to take away the letter and discontinue the membership of any boy found guilty of conduct unbecoming a good sport. FRONT ROW: T. Douglas, W. Comeford, T.

The backdrop for the band was a golden sun shining through a blue horizon. A castle with an archway of multi-colored pastels made up the center and blue murals covered with silvery stars decorated the sides. The “pearly gates” where the couples received their bids were trellises and white clouds overhead. Couples could be found dancing, at the refresh- ment table, having their pictures taken, or sitting at the sidelines. The evening was climaxed by the grand march.
