VALENIAN NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR published by VALPARAISO HIGH SCHOOL VALPARAISO, INDIANA VOLUME FORTY-EIGHT Academics 20 Organizations 50 Athletics 72 Album 90 Tree of Knowledge Permanently encased in stone and overlooking the north and south of the campus are symbols of the tree of knowledge. The various parts of the tree symbolize som e particular phase of edu- cation. The trunk represents education. The branches depict every kind of learning. Included are branches of Pure and Applied Mathematics; Natural. Physical, and Social Sciences; and Practic- al, Fine, and Language Arts. Each branch divides into other specialized fields. For example, language arts separates into twigs of English, Spanish. German, Latin, and every language known to man. The leaves represent the lifeline of the tree; without these the tree cannot live, grow, and prosper. The leaves are the teach- ers, historians, mathematicians , authors, and other men of know- ledge. The fruits of the tree symbolize each individual ability and aim. The tree signifies education and man’s mind, both of which if tended properly will produce excellent fruits. Each individual tree has been planted and given nourishment, but at this stage of our education it has just begun to grow. The trunk, branches, twigs, and leaves must be given an opportunity to develop into mature fruits. 3 VHS Broadens Its Scope of Knowledge upper center left The year of 1963-64 might be called The Year of Improvements.” One of these devel- opments was the landscaping of the center courtyard and the laying of a gravel walk. This project was sponsored by the Student Council. upper center right Mr. Dixon performs an essential task at VHS. The maintenance staff keeps the school and grounds in good order so that an atmosphere conducive to study will prevail. upper right Kay Dowdell searches through her economics text to find the answer for a question put forth by her instructor. One of the most important experiences of high school education is learn- ing to find knowledge for one’s self. middle left During the summer, the science depart ment began the installation of its new chemistry and physics laboratories. Their completion in Oc- tober made available to the student the latest in equipment and facilities and assisted him in the clearer conception of the sciences. middle center Taking time out from a day of rigorous studies, VHS students relax in the south breezeway during their lunch hour. middle right Judy Bowman and Barb Harvey cooperate in preparing for a welcoming party in honor of incoming sophomores as new members of the various organizations. Although gaining know- ledge is of primary importance at VHS, fel- lowship is also a significant phase of a stu- dent’s education. lower left This fall there was also much work to be done in the chemistry laboratory before its com- pletion. Each group unit and individual locker had to be stocked with the necessary chemicals and equipment. After school the labs were left open for further experimentation by the espe- cially interested students. lower right Mrs. Brunicon and Mrs. Walsh are kept busy preparing daily meals for the over 500 VHS students and teachers that eat hot lunches at school. 4 Early Phases of Knowledge are Initiated in the Classroom upper left Steve Johnson is all attention while one of his classmates gives a speech.

The Lemonlighters and groups of juniors and sen- iors sang, and senior readings were presented by individual students. 18 “Knowledge is Power” Valparaiso High School’s academic department strives to teach students not only knowledge in the form of isolated facts, but also as a foundation for future learning. Whether the individual con- tinues formal education or prepares for a commercial or domestic career, the education of Valparaiso’s students is based on the ideal that high school education is a beginning and a basis of continued learning. 7 he academic departments teach the students how to find needed data or information , how to develop an idea through fur- ther study, and how to put into effective use that which they al- ready know. The VHS student learns that “Knowledge is Power.” 21 Administrators Current School Determine Policies middle Valparaiso’s policy-making and governing body is composed of Mr. Mann Spitler, Jr., president; Mrs. Gene Myers, vice-president; Dr. D. P. LaCount, treasurer; Mr. Joseph Durand, secretary; Mr. Preston Platt, member; and Mr. G. Warren Phillips, superintendent. The members are appointed every four years and rotate in these offices.

For him this association reveals insights into human nature. He matures as an individual. Cooperation of friends and acquaintances within the spirit of the school is also a fundamental of education. Varied companion- ships facilitate relaxed society with others. Casual company pro- motes ease in groups. As the past directs him in present slituations . friendships formed in high school will guide the VHS student in coming relationships. The future is promising to the friend who, on common ground, greets and knows the world’s inhabitants. 91 Seniors Today, Leaders Tomorrow Generating a sense of strength, the class of 1964 made the most of their last high school year. With plans of post-high school educa- tion firmly fixed in the minds of most seniors, they put the finishing touches on their basic schooling. Besides making plans for further education, many seniors were thinking about jobs during the summer to add to the family finances and to gain experience in another type of environment. Led by their class offi- cers, Steve Kautz, president; Ed Whitton, vice-president; Doris Toelke, secretary; and Barb Engel, treasurer; the seniors finished what had been an exciting and rewarding high school education and looked forward to an even more rewarding and vastly different future.

SPENCER 110 1963-64 Year Sees Composition of VHS Seal This year, through the profits of the 1961, 1962, and 1963 VALENIAN staffs, the 1964 staff had an official school seal of Valparaiso High School designed by an artist of Herff-Jones Company of Indianapolis and made into em- bossing dies by the Durand Manufacturing Company. The Viking head on the shield was originally used on the school flag and was designed for use on class rings and stationary by Mitch Vogel of the Herff-Jones Company in 1955. The torch is symbolic of citizenship; the open book, of learning. The laurel leaves depict achievement; the oak leaves, strength. The first official class was graduated from Valparaiso in 1874. Ill Juniors Gain Prestige through Prom Starting their third year at VHS, the juniors began to think about the future after gradua- tion. Accordingly, college-bound students en- rolled in United States history, speech, Ameri- can literature, algebra 3 and 4, chemistry, and a foreign language. Those planning a business or domestic career enrolled in advanced busi- ness. home economics, and industrial arts courses. The main topic of conversation among the junior class officers, Janet Brown, president; Bob Johnson, vice-president; Don Horan, treasurer; and Lynn Anderson, secretary; was the appointment of committees for the prom.

The other courses offered to sophomores were industrial arts, mechanical drawing, home economics, and health and safety. After being separated into different junior high schools for one year due to the introduc- tion of the 6-3-3 system in 1962, the sopho- mores reunited under the leadership of their officers, Tom Eiler, president; Jim Siewin, vice-president; Mary Heinold, secretary; and Linda Arnold, treasurer. As a class they chose their class rings, decorated the gym for commencement, and supported the school’s clubs and teams.

Baseball and its aspirants, track and its stars, the prom and its sparkle comprise a spring season that will long be re- membered. In the hectic few weeks preceding the close of school, final exams confront the veteran senior as well as the novice sophomore. Yet, the tension of exams is quickly forgotten in the excitement of graduation. For VHS seniors, commence- ment marks the beginning of a new life. Although veterans of the high school realm, they are now entrusted to the world as novices. For juniors, a year of added responsibility and leader- ship awaits. Sophomores prepare to become dependable upper- classmen. In the fall a new class will br ushered in. The cycle of learning will begin again. The tree of knowledge will con- tinue to grow and mature. 125 Sadie Hawkins Marks Winter and Beginning End of of Spring upper left Mr Scarecrow, watching Dogpatch couples, is the only male who has escaped female treachery.
