Opening — 1 CTION TOP OMA RRIS JUGGERNAU R ZHIVAG 3 towns, 3threads Three threads so close in distance but seemingly worlds apart in almost every other aspect, so many contrasts. The first so big, packed with people, millions, museums, theaters, concerts, zoos, restaurants, so much to do. The second so small, the antithesis of the first, conservative, rural, old-line, the boonies. The third so unlike the others, some call it quaint, one theater, one main street, one high school, growing, developing, old and new, Valparaiso. 1. Valparaiso’s only movie theater is the Premier, owned and operated by Shauer ' s since 1921. 2. Reflecting the small-town quaintness of Kouts, Indiana, this rustic train station epitomizes rural America. 3. To satisfy the need for food and companionship, the Koffee Kup Restaurant provides the people of Kouts with a quiet place to eat and talk. 4. Presiding over Midwestern culture is Chicago’s Art Insti- tute, located on hectic Michigan Avenue. 5. When three and a half million people decide to go home at the same time, traffic jams such as this one on Jackson Avenue result. 6. Like every other American city, Valparaiso has its hang- out frequented by most teenagers, the Burger King, located on E. Lincoln way. Opening — 3 Intersect, intertwine Texture more contrast, more variation. The first so many stores, so rich, so expensive plush sweaty, grimy, noisy, industry. The second a drugstore, a dairy, a grocery, home-grown tomatoes up by five, plowing, planting, agriculture. The third one department store, small shops, a few restaurants, nothing really fancy, commuters, farmers, small businessmen, Valparaiso. 1. The pride of downtown Valparaiso is Lowenstines department store. decorated and ready for the holiday shopping rush. 2. Although only a short distance from Valparaiso, Inland Steel’s Indiana Harbor plant is a very different — but familiar — sight to many Valparaiso commuters. 3. Seemingly lost in a sea of large merchants, downtown Kouts finds it difficult to compete with the area’s large shopping centers. 4. The backbone of the rural economy, an Indiana cornfield awaits the fall harvest. 5. With stores, people, and entertainment in abundance, another Friday night on Chicago’s State Street gets under way. 4 — Opening McCLURG APTS f :r pirw ) kK(l NI Ultttl Ufill Patterns, places The style woven together, but how? The first jam-packed, pushed together, cramped-up, high-rise living hustle and bustle, hubbub, squeeze, mass transportation. The second old, rambling, homey, rural charm gritting, grinding, bringing in the sheaves, the farm machine. The third nostalgic, pre-fab, contemporary, a hodgepodge buses squeak, trucks roar, cars moan, Valparaiso. 1. Downtown Valparaiso’s main street. Lincolnway, is open on a week night for the convenience of Christmas shoppers. 2. Totally dependent on the power of the farm machine to harvest his crops is this northern Indiana farmer. 3. One of Valparaiso’s many growing subdivisions is Con- cord Woods, developed by the Krughoff Company. 4. Typical of many Chicago housing complexes are the McClurg Apartments, located near the Art Institute. 5. Found east of Valparaiso on U.S. 30, this farmhouse combines rural architecture with subtle hints of con- temporary design. 6. Chicago’s South Shore Line provides thousands of com- muters with daily transporation — without the traffic jams. Opening — 7 The buildings The factories where are these fabrics made? The first tough, turbulent, rough-and-tumble, red-hot boisterous, bursting with people, energy, inner city. The second easy-going, unpretentious, proud, relaxed worn-out, antiquated, distinguished, country class. The third rah-rah, spirit’s back, go, Vikes, go, enthusiasm on the rise, complex, spacious, windowless, Valparaiso High School. 1. In its third year at the N. Campbell Street ad- dress, Valparaiso High School boasts an enrollment of 1432 students and 64 faculty members. VHS is Val- paraiso’s only high school. 2. Although plans for the construction of a new facil- ity are underway, Wheeler High School continues to hold classes in its 53 year-old building. 3. Worn by the effects of polluted air, East Chicago Washington High School reflects the nature of its sur- roundings. 8 — Opening The loom The loom the machine from which thread is woven into cloth, a rather useless tool until someone cares enough to utilize it to place each thread in its position in the design perhaps each one identical to the next or each one wildly different. But the similarities and contrasts become almost indistinguishable as the year progresses. And few are seldom conscious of . . Weaving it into Valparaiso. 1. Spirit and crepe paper abound as VHS fires up for the Hobart football game. 2. Greaser Day brings bobby socks and long skirts back in style.

Sponsored by Campus Life, Under New Man- agement makes its third appearance before the VHS student body. 6. As well as being a source of revenue for clubs, sock hops continue to be a popular social acti- vity. Totally absorbed in the music is senior Jo- Ellen Murphy. Activities — 11 Vikes Rout Panthers 38-6 For Homecoming Win Excitement and the hint of victory hung over a damp Viking Field Septem- ber 20 as the Vikes took the turf against the Gary Roosevelt Panthers for the Homecoming game. Bob Johnson’s two touchdowns, along with tallies by Dan Wellsand, Mark Allen, and Bob Malackowski sparked the Vikes to a 38-6 romp over the visiting Panthers. Halftime festivities began as the seven queen candidates and their es- corts drove down the track through a light but steady mist to the band’s strains of “You’re Sixteen.” Pep Club president Mindy Ohler crowned Sue Harrington queen and Danielle Baepler princess. Twelve hard-working Pep Club mem- bers armed with tin foil and crepe paper transformed the gym’s south balcony into a “Space Odyssey” for Saturday’s dance.

Due to the availability of spare time during summer vacation, the atmo- sphere of the choir-sponsored musical was more relaxed than most school pro- ductions. This allowed students more time to perfect their parts and also gave incoming sophomores a taste of working in high school drama. “I liked having the freedom we had doing the musical during the summer,” commented one cast member. “We seemed to get a lot done but I don’t think anyone felt rushed for time.” 1. Wang Ta, portrayed by Jeff Roscoe, meekly asks Linda Low to marry him, not knowing that she s secretly dating Sammy Fong. 2. Looking forward to his marriage to Linda Low, Marty Gehring, as Sammy Fong, sings “Sunday.” 3. Wang Chi ang, along with other friends and relatives, celebrates the American Citizenship awarded to his sister. Madam Liang, in “Chop Suey.” Musical — 15 Concerts, Sockhops Overcome Mid-week, Week-end Boredom Sockhops, which continued to gain popularity at VHS, usually found the gym’s north balcony strewn with coats and shoes as students jammed onto the middle of the floor to dance to the earsplitting music of the performing band. Although the price was raised from $1.50 per couple to $1.00 per person because of increased band fees, they remained an inexpensive form of recreation. Held after football and bas- ketball games, the average dance raised nearly two hundred dollars for the club sponsoring it. VHS’s bands and choirs also pro- vided another form of student enter- tainment as they held Christmas and pre-contest concerts in the auditorium. Profits were put in band and choir funds and used toward repairs of worn equipment and the purchase of new instruments and costumes used in con- tests and public performances. 1.

The favorable response it re- ceived prompted the club to make a children’s production an annual event. Another twist in drama activity was the fall production of three one- acts. The plays were abstracts portray- ing some of man’s basic faults. The club’s active year provided stu- dents with a lot of good stage enter- tainment. “I enjoyed this year’s plays,” commented one VHS student. “The material was interesting and the pro- ductions showed care in the making.” Although a lot of time was spent in preparing the productions, club members didn’t consider it all hard work. “We put a lot of effort into the plays,” commented Jennifer Wal- ker, “but we had a good time doing it. I think it was worth it.” 1. Taking time out from a baseball game, Charlie Brown, portrayed by Jeff Roscoe, en- thusiastically writes a letter to his pen-pal. while Ed Bertholet’s Schroeder impatiently looks on. Drama — 21 Dances Add Spark To Winter Adding a little color to a sometimes, long and humdrum winter, two of VHS’s largest clubs, Student Council and V-Teens, sponsored winter dances. Hanging Christmas trees and 25 pounds of artificial snow gave a fes- tive atmosphere to the gym’s south balcony for the Student Council-spon- sored Christmas dance. Although late in arriving, The Furman Davis Group’ entertained the 134 attending couples nonstop for four hours. In order to make a substantial con- tribution to the Heart Fund, V-Teens held their annual King of Hearts dance February 22. V-Teens’ officers crowned John Ruge king and Jack Sawyer prince of the post-Valentine event. “This year students selected candi- dates and later voted for king by contributing to the Heart Fund under his name,’’ stated dance chairman Danielle Zecevich. “We were very pleased with student response to the idea.” 1.

Between sun-soaking and music- practicing, band members found time to visit such places of interest as St. Augustine, Florida, Kennedy Space Center, and Nashville, Tennessee to see a performance of the “Grand Ole Opry.” Without having to leave the con- fines of VHS, students were able to relax and take time out from books and study. Convocations included musical programs from the Ball State Singers, the Roger Wagner Chorale, and “Under New Management,” and pep sessions to help back Viking foot- ball and basketball teams in competi- tion. Band Trip Convocations — 27 Juniors Recreate ' Atlantis ' 28 — Prom The odor of paint and charred wood permeated the corridors of VHS during prom week, and inquisitive students wondered what lurked behind the seal- ed-off gym windows. Inside prom committee members strived tirelessly to transform wire, plastic, spray paint, and cardboard into “Lost In Atlantis.” Juniors saw the results of their dili- gent efforts materialize when they un- vieled “Atlantis” on May 16.

Prom — 29 Skip Day Relieves Senioritis Relieving some hassle from anxious seniors and irritated teachers, the school administration allowed grad- uates-to-be to designate a Senior Skip Day without penalty. “Since Skip Day is a tradition,” noted one senior, “I’m glad it’s finally become legal. It took a lot of pressure off the faculty and it gave us another day to relax.” With all thoughts of books and school aside, the class of ’75 graduated on June 4. Over 3000 people looked on as VHS Principal Garth Johnson present- ed diplomas to the 429 seniors. In their first act as alumni, many of the new graduates congregated at the V. U.

Honors, Awards, Signify End As the 1974-75 school year drew to a close, representatives of the school and the community combined forces to honor outstanding students at Awards Night. Approximately 350 students were recognized for accomplishments in al- most every aspect of school life in- cluding scholarship, athletics, and at- tendance at the ceremonies held May 29 in the auditorium. Individual school organizations, de- partments, and teams also honored their members with award banquets throughout the year. Sports teams held two banquets to recognize outstanding athletic performance in fall and spring sports.

News Bureau students used class time to gather and edit information on social and academic activities of VHS students. These stories were then sent to the VIDETTE for publication. When students were interviewed in November as part of an English Department survey, many felt that the English program was one of the most versatile parts of the VHS curri- culum. Junior Sally Hallam said, The large selection of courses will be helpful later on when I go to college because I can choose the ones I’ll need.” Adding new courses and revising old ones, the VHS English Department is in a continual state of change. Latest additions to the mini-course program include Images of Women in Literature and News Bureau. Previously out of place in the English Department, soap operas became a topic for study when Images of Women in Literature became part of the English curriculum. In addition to soap operas, students examined com- mercials to find stereotyped roles of women in a “man’s world.” .The VHS News Bureau enabled the community to become aware of 1.

Actors Dabble In Drama Theatre, behind and before the curtain, was the topic of study for 50 students enrolled in Drama and Acting class. For the first nine-week grading period students studied the behind- stage aspects of drama. They spent one week preparing scenery for the fall production of three one-act plays. Students also studied lighting effects and directing techniques. Beginning with pantomimes and improvisations, students gained on-stage experience in the second nine weeks of the course. After mastering these basic elements of drama, students advanced to staging one-acts and performing excerts from full-sized plays. Students enrolled in Basic Speech learned the importance of a smooth delivery in speech making. They also concentrated their studies on the use of hand gestures, the significance of good introductions, and the need for well-planned con- clusions. They practiced these techniques in speeches given during class. 1.

Economics classes use THE NATIONAL OBSERVER as a source of information to keep a careful watch on the fluctuation of stocks. A Course Divided Can Stand Semester-long elective courses trig- gered a revitalized interest in the VHS History Department. Previously a year-long elective, World History was broken-down into six specialized studies of varying areas of history. Some of the classes, aimed primarily at sophomores, delved into current events relevant to the region of study. Students enrolled in Russia and the Middle East obtained back- ground information to gain insight into the Arab-Israeli conflict. Juniors also joined in the History Department’s new look with the re- vamping of the U.S. History program. The curriculum offered students a variety of subjects ranging from Ameri- can Political Development to U.S. Foreign Relations. One junior history student stated, “I really like picking my own semester courses. I didn’t get bored going through a whole year of total history with the same teacher. 1. Participating in a history game called Panic, Barb Mieczenkowski is astonished to find her stocks have fallen. 2.

History — 41 Crayons, Games Find Niche Examining the relationships and in- teractions of the individual and society, three courses open to juniors and sen- iors gave students an opportunity to acquaint themselves with material applicable to daily living. In their studies of individual per- sonality and behavioral patterns, psy- chology students took part in a tempo- rary regression to first-grade tactics. Equipped with crayons and drawing paper, students drew pictures of what they imagined themselves to be as part of an analysis of self-concept. The movie “David and Lisa” also supplemented textbook material on schizophrenic and phobic disorders. Taking tests geared to two different socio-economic backgrounds, students were able to see radically different re- sults in IQ scores. Games portraying true-to-liie situa tions gave sociology students an op- portunity to see how members of so- ciety interact. One such game, “Sun- shine,” was a simulated community in which students experienced racial ten- sions and the problems of belonging to a minority group. “Star Power” illustrated society’s inequalities and the difficulties confronted in advancing from one social group to another. Students in social problems classes investigated the responsibility of so- ciety to resolve its conflicts. Primarily a discussion course, students pursued such topics as poverty and the chang- ing roles of men and women in so- ciety. Students also visited a drug re- habilitation center in Gary and spoke with inmates at the state prison in Michigan City to augment class dis- cussions. 1. During one of many class discussions, Social Problems students voice their opinions on world population. 2. The game “Mind Maze” tests the extrasensory powers of Jeff Clark and Sue Erceg as Kevin Hogan tabulates their progress through the maze. 3.

Lab Girls Enter Rat Race Leaving their high school existences temporarily behind them, 37 senior girls entered the world of business for two hours daily. These girls were students in VHS’s Intensive Lab. The students observed the dress code of a typical secretary and had to go through the problems of get- ting jobs. The “secretaries” sent letters of application to their would-be em- ployers and they had interviews with them. They also took employment tests to get placements in one of the 13 job 44 — Business station assignments. To commemorate National Secretar- ies Week, all 37 girls visited local businesses during the week of April 20. The girls helped secretaries in the businesses with minor duties such as filing, typing letters, and answering telephones. Lab student Dawn Ilgenfritz com- mented, “This course helped me to further develop my secretarial skills. It gave me an idea of what will be expected of me as a secretary in respect to speed and accuracy.” 1. Their hands poised and ready to register figures on their adding machines.

Business — 45 Nature Lovers Continue Work To put into practical use knowledge acquired in class and to obtain credit, Life Science students continued work on the Nature Study Area. In the fall some students sprayed poison ivy and made paths from wood- chips while others worked on leaf and wildflower collections. Work continued throughout the year as students made an informational booklet on the Nature Study Area. Mr. Paul Miller, Life Science teach- er, commented, “The Nature Area is an outdoor classroom for all ages. Garden clubs to Girl Scouts have all visited the area.” Physics students took part in annual contests again this year to earn extra credit. Designed to simplify the study of force, the bridge building contest was held in January. Later in the spring, the second mouse trap-powered vechicle contest was held to coincide with a study of energy. 1.

Science — 47 Wizards Win At Numbers Though some students would object to dragging themselves out of bed to begin a test at 7:30 a.m., 58 dedicated math students willingly sacrificed sleeping hours to take part in the National Mathematics Contest. An hour and a half was allotted for students to complete the multiple choice test. It consisted of questions on elementary algebra, plane and coordinate geometry, intermediate alge- bra, and trigonometry. Senior Kevin Hogan won the contest, which was sponsored by the VHS Mathematics Department. His score, along with those of Don Mohr, Joe Bolan, and Gary Kush, was entered in state and national competition.

The Symphonic A Band’s perform- ance at Hammond High School marked the first time in VHS history that a band received the highest ratings possi- ble. The band obtained perfect scores on three rehearsed numbers and superior ratings on two sight-read num- bers. Performing in similar competition, the B Band received first-place honors for the fourth consecutive year. 1.

Choirs Seek Spring Unlike most students who found themselves penned within the confines of VHS, choir members escaped the endless tedium of early May with a four-d ay concert tour. Students in the A Choir and Caroler members were excused from two days of classes for the tour, which was May 3-6. The two choral groups performed at Morristown High School in Indiana and Forest Park High School in Ohio enroute to and from Cincinnati. In order to finance the trip Carolers utilized their singing talents at various engagements and performed with the swing choirs at the Nostalgia Dinner The two groups also joined forces for a spring car wash which netted $600. Swimmers Channel Free Time Ambitious VHS athletes were given an opportunity to test their abilities in first-semester swimming classes this year. During the second nine weeks of the semester, intermediate swimmers splashed, gurgled, and sputtered their way through the grueling English Chan- nel Swim. The swimmers set goals of five, ten, or twenty miles and worked to attain them during free time. Thirteen students completed the five- mile swim, with no one surpassing this distance by going ten or twenty miles. Each five-miler was awarded a patch and a certificate stating his or her accomplishment. 1. Forced to play tennis on the south balcony because of rainy weather, Tammy Sowers practices her backhand. 2.

Ed. — 55 Art, Tortillas Augment Studies To enrich their studies of foreign lands and to put to use their skills as bi-linguists, foreign language stu- dents ventured outside the language labs of VHS for several field trips. A major topic of conversation in French classes was the Monet Exhibit at Chicago’s Art Institute. Prior to visiting the exhibit in April and May, students studied Monet’s technique and Impressionism in general. One second-year French student commented, “Impressionist artists paint atmospheric conditions in no way I’ve seen before. The water lilies and hay stacks freaked me out.” Four Spanish classes went on a half-day excursion to Emelio’s, a Span- ish restaurant in Portage. As Spanish dancers entertained, students dined on various foods including tortillas, enchiladas, and tacos. 1. Depicting the role of Charlie Chan for a French skit, Dave Telschow searches for a murderer among students Cindy Brown. Debi Sturdevant, Marianne McCord, and Ingrid Bannec. 2.

A student involved in the Distributive Education Program, Laure Johnson works part- time in the children’s department at Iowenstines. Jobs, Classloads Divide Time With tentative decisions regarding career aspirations already made, many students enrolled in the Co-Operative Vocational Education program to de- velop skills needed for their chosen fields. The program offered students four basic areas of study including health, foods, distributive education, and in- dustrial arts. Following semester-long classes on these topics, students obtain- ed first-hand exDerience in jobs re- lated to their fie lds. They divided their time between attending regular classes and working 15 hours per week. In May co-op students held a ban- quet honoring their employers. The businessmen received certificates of recognition for their participation in the program. 1. Under the hood of a Valparaiso Community school bus, Guy McDaniels checks the water level in the radiator. 2. As part of his job at Johnston’s Sports, Jim Clouse inspects the gears of a bicycle. Pre-Meds Probe Field Interested in pursuing careers in medicine, 34 students worked in differ- ent branches of the field through the Dental Careers and Health Occupations programs. In addition to working ten hours per week in dentists’ offices, students involved in the dental program also fit a related course into their class schedules. One dental student commented, “I found that I really enjoyed working in the dentist’s office and plan to continue working there this summer. I hope to become a dental hygenist.” Health Occupations students studied in a two-hour block at school for the first semester and worked ten hours per week getting on-the-job training during the second semester. Students worked in areas such as nursing, physical therapy, and veteri- nary work. 1. Working in Porter Memorial Hospital’s pediatrics ward, Cheryl Graham prepares the respiration unit for operation. 2. To more fully understand the procedure of taking blood pressure, Health Occupations students practice on a mock patient. 3.

Health Occupations — 61 Shop Courses Ready Students For Careers Preparing students for careers in in- dustry was the main purpose behind the Vocational Drafting and Vocational Electronics courses. The architectural class, a two-year program, met two hours each day in order to provide students with background needed to advance to an apprenticeship or to pur- sue this field at the college level. In ad- dition to the proper electrical code, stu- dents learned to contend with the prob- lems of weather and heat loss. Elec- tronics students attended class three hours daily for two years. During the first year of the program students learned to work with different types of electronic machinery. In the second year they applied these skills to repair and adjust t.v.’s, stereos, computers, and radar. 1. Bob Lembke uses a metal scale to draw hori- zontal lines as he puts finishing touches on his roof designs. 2. With assistance from Gil Clifford, Mark Allen gets a better perspective of his drawing. 62 — Industrial Arts 1. While repairing a stereo, Paul Shortridge and Mike Pfledderer look for faults in the circuitry. 2. Geometric figures find their way to Intro- ductory Drafting as Don Raschke practices skills he will use later on in Architectural Drawing. 3. Using the oscilloscope, Mr. Bruce Folbrecht and Dave Mueller check for proper voltage levels. Industrial Arts — 63 Metalists Employ Know-How Having acquired a basic knolwedge of eight areas of the metalworking industry in the General Metals course, Advanced Metals students applied their knowledge in in-depth studies of the machinery in the Industrial Arts Department. After studying the machinery in the lab, advanced students chose a field to specialize in. This exploration of a single area aided the students in choosing potential careers. Other students entered the Vocation- al Machine Trade course after con- cluding their first-year studies. This course met daily for three hours, divid- ing its time between classroom study and labs. The classroom study was devoted to the technical aspects of the metal trade. 1. Working on one of his General Metals projects, Brian Pisarski drills portions of a tool tray. 2. Bob Roof turns down a ball peen hammer on the engine lathe to make final adjustments on his industrial arts project. 64 — Industrial Arts 1. To improve his arc welding skills, Ross Marshall finishes a practice exercise. 2. Concentration and a firm hand help junior Jim Murphy to cut sheet metal with a hand sheer. 3. As Gary Herren watches him work, Paul Bostic uses the sheet metal notcher in making a tool box. A-V Materials Revise Study Movies and filmstrips supplemented the textbook to aid students in Health and Safety classes. Heart disease, can- cer, alcoholism, and drugs were the topics of many discussions held in this one semester course. The function of the course changed somewhat this year with more emphasis being placed on mental health and physical fitness instead of the usual bandaging of wounds. Trips to the weight room were common when students were studying physical fitness. The purpose of these trips was to learn the locations and functions of muscles by using the machines. Anyone not familiar with the class would have been surprised at seeing students parti- cipating in thumb fights and arm- wrestling contests. Many students have turned to Driver Education class in lieu of having their parents teach them to drive. “Some parents do not make good teachers for their own children and others simply don’t care to take the time to driv around with their kids,” said Driver Ed. instructor, Tom Stokes. Approxi- mately 400 students enrolled in Driver Education during the summer session. Due to the restricted amount of avail- able time, enrollment was limited to approximately 100 students during the school year. 1. Alcohol in the bloodstream produces many ill effects, as Health and Safety students Tammy Hayes and Gary Liggett discover during a unit on alcoholism. 2.

Coinciding with the revival of the “good-old” days in music, fashion, and fads, more students turned to the old-fashioned skills that were a part of grandmother’s everyday life. When the Textile and Crafts course was started in 1970, there were only ten people enrolled. However, because of over-enrollment and a shortage of teachers in the department, students were turned away from the class this year. Clothing I students were both beginning and experienced sewers who, knowing the price of clothes in the store, turned to their sewing machines to make comparable garments for less than half the price. The boys also became involved in the Home Economics Department. Stu- dents in Bachelor Living spent three weeks studying the nutritional value of meats. They prepared dishes ranging from hamburgers to lasagne. Junior John Long commented, “I took the course because I wondered what it would be like. I thought it was going to be an easy course, but Mrs. Miinch really makes us work.” Photography students had a chance to express their feelings through pic- tures. After studying camera systems, exposures, and the dark room, students went on to take pictures and to put slide presentations together. Photography student Gary Smith said, “Photography class gave me a chance to get out and shoot subjects that I otherwise would never get to.” Home Ec. Photography — 69 Class Choices Impress Artists “I like the big selection of courses that I can choose from in the Art De- partment. I just finished a lithograph and now I’m doing an etching. I can’t wait until next semester,” commented a sophomore Art I and II student. Art I, II, and III are recommended for those students interested in art and serve as pre-requisites for more advanced class- es. Starting with the basic colors and working up to clay forms and copper, students progressed to ceramics, print- ing, drawing, painting, small sculpture, and jewelry. Pauline Frank found the new class, Jewelry and Small Sculpture, one of her favorites. She said, “I think that the class is great! I can really get into it. I was able to make nearly all of my Christmas presents in this one course. I would have had to spend at least twenty dollars for the things that I made.” The second Annual Art Fair was held during the week of December 16 . The works of many students in both classes were displayed in the main hall. Stu- dents demonstrated pottery, printing, and many other skills. As larger enrollments indicated in- creased popularity, students found it more difficult to pick the art courses they wanted. They often found they had taken the majority of classes available or that their first choice was already filled to capacity. 1. Taking time out from their lunch hours, Leslie Higgins.

Composed of approximately 120 members, Quest was the largest of the service organizations. Members were volunteers who gave up their study halls to work in various areas of the school, such a s the bookstore, the Learning Center, the main office, and the chemistry lab. Potential teachers joined the ranks of Future Educators in Action, a club for students with an inclination toward the teaching profession. Mem- bers took advantage of lectures and seminars held throughout the year to learn the motivations and qualities needed to become a teacher. Second semester, 10 seniors did exploratory teaching in area schools, with five students working in special education. To prepare themselves for careers in business, Office Education Associa- tion (OEA) members worked to develop skills needed in various office situa- tions. To put these skills to use, the girls took part in the OEA con- test in February. With competition in skills ranging from business math to verbal communication, the contest sent the top three place winners in each category to the state contest in April. A progressive dinner held in December provided the girls w-ith an opportunity to further develop social abilities for future use. 1.

OEA FEA Quest — 75 Ideas Fire Willingness to give of themselves characterized YARC and V-Teens members as these clubs focused their activit ies on serving others. With a membership more than twice the size of last year’s, V-Teens were able to get ideas off the drawing board and into action. A pooling of energies and resources brought about Desserts for Dads, donating food to needy families at Thanksgiving, and sponsoring the King of Hearts dance. In addition to these and many other annual projects, V-Teens sponsored Apple Day, a refreshing departure from the usual bake sale. Proceeds from this unique endeavor went toward a Up Service Clubs December trip to Chicago to see the ballet Nutcracker Suite” and financ- ing the King of Hearts dance. In keeping with its purpose, the Youth Association for Retarded Child- ren (YARC) planned various parties and social functions for the employ- ees of Opportunity Enterprises. The Chesterton Moose Lodge was the site of a Christmas dinner dance where employees received jewelry commem- orating the number of years they had worked at Opportunity Enterprises. In February YARC members hosted a box supper for the young adults following a performance of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” 1.

Casual Setup Kindles Ideas Encouraging individuality and self- expression, the Photography and Folk Music Clubs thrived on an informal workshop format. Rehearsals and ca- sual discussions replaced structured club meetings as students gathered to pursue common interests. The Photography Club’s main under- taking was initiating plans for an audio- visual contest. Because of a lack of entries, club members decided to schedule the contest for next year. This year the group concentrated on mastering darkroom techniques and improving picture-taking skills. Using the auditorium and sound equipment. Folk Music members work- ed to develop a professional attitude. Due to widespread appeal, the group expanded to the junior highs in De- cember.

Swim Coach Skip Bird described GTO members as “indispensable in running our meets.” In addition to backing up the electrical timer, the girls worked as scorekeepers, typists, and runners. Providing moral support, GTO members decorated swimmers’ homes shortly before the sectional meet. As equality found its way into the synchronized swim club, the group took on male members and changed its name to Aquanauts. The club worked through first semester planning and rehearsing for the watershow in April. The four- day show featured 66 swimmers and the technical help of 12 crew members. To honor outstanding participants in the watershow, Aquanauts held a banquet April 30 at VHS. f f r r r r if f ? i f 1. Jobs as statisticians and timers keep GTO members busy at a VHS swim meet.

GTO Aquanauts — 81 Expansion Prompts Action In their efforts to develop a pleasant rapport between students and faculty members, the Student Council and Student-Faculty Senate worked to open up lines of communications at VHS. With 70 members the Student Coun- cil was the largest body of student government seen at VHS in recent years. This expanded membership al- lowed the council to be more active as they sponsored the Christmas Dance, a children’s film festival, and the Ball State University Singers concert. Stu- dent Council also introduced VHS Spotlight, designed to recognize stu- dents and new teachers. Composed of 11 members of the Stu- dent Council and 11 faculty repre- sentatives, the Student-Faculty Senate gave students an opportunity to share ideas and recommend solutions to prob- lems. The Senate worked this year to obtain new furnishings for the Stu- dent Lounge and to get letter jackets for band members. At the Senate’s sug- gestion, the streetlights in front of school were adjusted to relieve con- gestion before school. Student mem- bers also received the power to appoint new members to the Senate. 1. STUDENT-FACULTY SENATE — FRONT ROW: Greg Galasso.

Working diligently behind the scenes, Drama Club members not taking part in actual performances played key roles in all drama productions. An average of 25 students applied their talents to teverything from set and costume design to makeup and props. This, coupled with strong performances from Drama Club members, made it possible for 1975 to be an active year in drama at VHS. In collaboration with the Drama Club, members of the Sound and Light Crew operated the lights at all Drama Club productions. In addi- tion to this, the six-man crew did the lighting for Community Concerts, auditorium rentals, and school -oriented projects other than Drama Club pre- sentations. 4.

Scheduling a major activity each month, the club tried to acquaint exchange stu- dent Lisbeth Pedersen with as many as- pects of American life as possible. With club members as her guides, Lisbeth went into Chicago on several occassions for rock concerts or just to shop. In February the club took the 17-year old Danish exchange students to South Bend to see the Ice Capades. In addition to these monthly activities, the club sponsored International Under- standing Weekend April 25-27. Forty Ex- change students visiting northwest In- diana attended a day of classes at VHS and were houseguests of Exchange Club members for an activity-filled weekend which included a sockhop, an afternoon at Bridge-Vu, and a picnic at Dunes State Park. 1.

Soph Power Supplies Depth Enthusiasm and a sense of humor enabled a predominantly sophomore VALENIAN staff to overcome inexperi- ence and prepare the yearbook for publication. Emphasizing individual styles, edi- tors chose layout and copy- writing methods in correspondence with their capabilities. According to first-year adviser Gloria Arvay, this added variety to the book’s design and made it possible for staff members to work with the style they felt most comfortable with. To boost morale, staff members got together outside the classroom at fairly regular intervals. Santa Claus made an unscheduled appearance at a Christmas brunch to distribute gifts to everyone. The staff also awarded itself with a spaghetti dinner in March to celebrate the completion of a major deadline. 88 — Valenian v - ' With the tedioflTjob of recopying album layoutsio accomplish, Lynrie Howard retreats to the -s®! i ' |j, the VALENIAN room. 1.

To demonstrate their skills in the manipulation of industrial machinery, VICA members participated in local and regional contests. Organizing their own activities, the young tradesmen planned and competed in a basketball game against the VHS faculty. The club used proceeds from the March activity to pay for student fees at the VICA State Contest. Working to finance a trip to their club’s state convention, DECA mem- bers sponsored two after-game sock- hops. Eight students participated in the conference, which was held March 16-18 in French Lick, Indiana. Aspiring DECA businessmen also played host to their employers at a banquet May 7 at the Strongbow Turkey Inn. 1.

Honoraries Regroup, Activate Re-organization was the key word for honoraries as these three groups sought to give recognition to students involved in various aspects of school life. The honorary for high school journa- lists, Quill and Scroll, found itself with a new sponsor and membership consisting primarily of students with one year’s experience. The group spon- sored the Publications Awards Banquet May 8 to honor members of News Bureau and VALENIAN staffs. Club members also had a bake sale and a spring car wash to raise money for journalism workshop s cholarships. Due to the graduation of all former members, Thespians experienced a complete turnover in membership. Thespians worked closely with Drama Club members on drama-oriented ac- tivities. Thinking of 1975 primarily as an organizational year, the group gathered ideas to be used next year. Refreshing ideas powered the Na- tional Honor Society through an active year. The sale of carnations on Val- entine’s Day netted the group $170. This money went toward the purchase of pins and awards and a donation to the Junior Honor Society at Thomas Jefferson Junior High. Honor Society members also worked for the Cancer Society and ushered at commencement. Honoraries — 93 Males Deepen Spirit Voice Faced with the challenge of providing support for all sports, 100 Pep Club members braved hoarse throats and paint-stained jeans to promote school spirit and encourage interest in all teams. The revitalization of a boys’ cheer- leading squad was Pep Club’s major activity for the year. Six senior boys formed the squad and Mr. Gerry Coffey acted as its sponsor. The boys worked alongside the two girls’ squads to har- ness Viking spirit at football and bas- ketball games. The club was also responsible for organizing several sockhops and vari- ous spirit activities. Proceeds from two bake sales financed Homecom- ing festivities. 1.

Approximately 100 students parti- cipated in weight training, bowling, volleyball, and softball at various times during the year. The group invited boys to take part in the bowling segment, which was held the second and third nine weeks. Cycle-mania hit VHS this year with the format ion of the Bike Touring Club. With sunburned cheeks and aching muscles as proof of their ef- forts, club members had long-distance rides on Wednesday and Sunday after- noons when weather permitted. They pushed and pedaled their way to Crown Point, Boone Grove, and Three Oaks, Michigan, among other places. When winter weather put a stop to cycling activities, club members took part in clinics held to study bicycle main- tenance. 1.

To improve their game for competi- tive purposes. Chess Club members met on an almost daily basis to play chess. The club competed in five major tournaments, two of which were held at VHS. In November the club hosted 24 schools in the Valpo Invita- tional. VHS was also the site of the regional tournament in March. The addition of debate to the English curriculum sparked interest in com- peting. In what sponsor Mrs. Judith Lebryk termed a building year, the Debate team placed seventh out of 20 teams in an all-day debate at Highland High School. Relying on the strength of some outstanding debaters, the team finished reasonably well in its remaining meets. L jfl W ' 1.

A motive for each player to give his utmost was a factor in the 18 wins and three losses. Coach Steve Doak said, “Quick thinking under com- petitive pressure played a major part in the season’s outcome.” One of the season’s highlights was an exciting sectional meet against South Bend Adams. Unfortunately, the hard-fought contest ended in a 3-2 defeat for the Viking netmen. Receiving trophies for outstanding play throughout the year were seniors Bill Snell, Rick Kilgour, Shaun Evans, and juniors Tom Dixon, Colin Gromley, Tom Kruger, Steve Meyer, Micah Ru- bel, and Tim Shideler.

Tennis — 103 Slow Start Spurs Team Into Action Redeeming themselves after a 31-14 defeat by Munster, the Varsity Foot- ball team regrouped and won their next nine games plus the Duneland Conference championship. With a well-balanced offense that averaged 25 points per game, the Vik- ings battered their remaining oppo- nents. Linemen Randy Kerns and Scott McDaniel cleared the way for a part of the team’s 2,300 total rushing yards. Offensively, Dan Wellsand was the individual leader with 17 TD’s and 1450 yards gained. After the initial contest, Coach Tom Stokes modified the defense and things seemed to come together for the gridders. Viking defenders intercepted 19 passes for the year, with Dave Thiele and Mark Dofka each picking off four. The season’s thriller was a 17-16 victory over Hobart. With two seconds left, Bill Conover threw a game-tying touchdown pass to Dan Wellsand. John Poncher then made the extra point to win the game, thus avenging last year’s upset. 1.

The 1974 squad was no exception, as the Sophomore Green Machine fought to an 8-0 record. At least 35 out of the team’s 55 mem- bers played in each game, regardless of the situation. This gave a wide variety of talent to a well-balanced team. Offensively, the Vikes amassed 210 points for an average of 26 per game. Chuck Oliver completed 34 out of 74 passes, eight for touchdowns. Jack Wellsand had an outstanding year scor- ing 15 touchdowns to break the previous record of 14. A hard-nosed defense yielded but 48 points to the opponent during the entire year.

However, there were some outstanding individual high- lights and the season ended with a se- venth place showing at sectional. Beginning in July, 14 boys ran double practices and averaged from 15 to 20 grueling miles a day. This was a major factor in building up everyone’s speed and endurance. The Portage Hokum Karem Invita- tional, in which 50 schools participated, was one of the highpoints in the year. Junior Matt Martin and sophomore Mike Nuppnau finished among the top ten runners, attaining the highest plac- ings in the team’s history. Later in the season Martin and Nuppnau sustained injuries which kept them out of several important meets. This, plus running against some of the finest teams in the state, put a damp- er on higher hopes for the team. Junior Tom Dougherty had a good season, and was named the team’s most valuable runner at the Fall Sport’s Banquet. CROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS — Front Row: Bob brook. Back Row: Tom Dougherty.

Squad Improves Mat Techniques As they acquainted themselves with a new coach and gained insight in their sport, the Viking matmen ob- tained a 10-5 record and a third place finish at sectional. According to Coach Steve Morgan, a lack of experience hindered the team, but a personal satisfaction de- rived from victory compelled it to win. The grapplers defeated such fierce competition as Andrean, Lowell, and for the first time in eight years, Chesterton. In his second year at VHS, team captain Dale West muscled his way to a 17-4 season. As second-place winners in the sectional, West and teammates Mark Canada, Scott Selby, and Bob Dorroll advanced to regional competition. There the four faced stiff opposition and were defeated. 1.

Oomph Added To Viking Defense Plans Initiating a slower, more methodical game style and a UCLA- type pressing defense, new head coach Dale Ciciora’s varsity squad finished with a 13-10 record. More impressive was the round-ball- er’s distinction of tying with Merrill- ville for the Duneland Conference championship. This marked only the second time VHS has finished first since the conference was formed. This year’s team had an advantage over its opponents in that all but two players were 6’ or over, enabling the Vikes to rebound effectivel y. The result was 881 Viking rebounds com- pared to 764 by the opposition. 6’6 Vi” powerhouse Dee Ciciora dis- played outstanding ball control throughout the season and ended up as top scorer with 366 points plus top rebounder with 287. Don Rose finished second in both catagories with 245 points and 165 rebounds. Seniors Ciciora, Rose, Tom Burkett, and Rich Johnson played their last hardwood battles for the Green Ma- chine this year. Coach Ciciora com- mented that they hung in and dis- played leadership even when the Vikes were behind in a game. After winning their second sectional title in a row over Chesterton, the Vikes hoped to repeat as regional champs as well. In the first game, however, the Vikes suffered an early slump in shooting and lost to Michi- gan City Elston. Jerry Thomas led a third-quarter rally with 13 points, but in spite of the Viking effort Elston hung on and won. 1.

New head coach Fred Mitchell said, “In some games we were behind by as many as 10 points late in the game, but we kept up the pressure and pulled out victories. Offensive weapon Mike Nuppnau scored 331 points for an average of 16.5 points per game. The leading rebounder was Chuck Oliver, pulling down an even 100.

Coach Skip Bird said, “We worked harder and utilized a wider variety of training techniques than ever be- fore.” A ‘cyclical’ program was initiated with practices held in cycles of varying degrees of difficulty. Emphasizing gradual improvement, Coach Bird thought of the regular season meets as training for the sec- tional. This theology proved beneficial as the team placed fourth in the meet and many swimmers greatly cut their times. Seniors Joel Bretscher and Tim Somers led the Viking squad through- out the season. At the state meet, Bretscher set school records of :54.76 and 5:06.5 in the 100 butterfly and the 500 freestyle, placing fourth and twelfth, respectively. Somers placed tenth in the 200 individual medley with a record-setting time of 2:06.18. The co-captains scored enough points to earn a fifteenth place ranking for the tankers. 1.

Young Tankers Train, Mature Improvement: By-Product Of JV Drive Incentive provided that extra push needed for this year’s Junior Varsity Baseball squad. The team finished with a 9-15 record, the best in recent years. Coach Charles Geiss initiated an of- fensive point system which contributed to greater output by the players. Points were either earned or taken away de- pending on each individual’s perform- ance in a game. At the season’s end, Mark Stasierowski led the team with 302 offensive points. Power hitting and a strong pitching attack were key components in the im- proved records. Butch Peterson, with a .317 batting average, led the team in that category. The combined efforts of Dan Lund, Mark Da vidson, Tom Dob- bins, and Mike McCray gave the team a well-balanced, dependable pitching staff. 1.

JV Baseball — 119 New Diamond Brings Luck To Varsity Squad A 10-0 victory over Calumet opened the Varsity Baseball team’s home sea- son, christening the brand new diamond behind VHS. Use of the long-awaited facility gave the Vikes a home-field advantage for the first time since moving from the old building. This added dimension to the Viking effort helped to yield a winning 14-12 record. Pitching was outstanding this year with Mark Thune, John Jipping, and Kurt Jamison taking the brunt of their opponents’ attacks. Equally important was performance at the plate where Bob Johnson’s .465 batting average made him top Viking slugger and Bob Mertz’s .406 gave him a second place finish. In the last week of May, the Vikings copped their second sectional title in two years. 1.

This continual practice benefited the team as the season went on and each individual played stronger golf.

Cindermen Pound Pavement Record-breaking is the word most commonly used to describe the 1975 Track team’s season. Records fell this year in four of the five field events as VHS had one of the state’s strongest teams in this area. Tom Burkett, Dale Lamberson, Kevin Anderson, and Dave Thiele also obtain- ed a record-setting time in the mile relay. The team’s only major downfall was in long-distance races, where no one person was particularly strong. The Vikes were confronted with another problem when pole vaulter Tim Somers broke his ankle in the Hammond Relays. The team had five members qualify for the state meet. They were Brad Wood and Scott McDaniels in the dis- cus, Jeff Thomas in the long jump, Ran- dy Kems in the shot put, and Bill Conover in the hurdles. Conover, who accumulated 182 points during the sea- son, was chosen Most Valuable Team Members at its conclusion. Track — 125 Boys Promote Student Fervor Reviving an activity not seen at VHS in seven years, six senior boys organized a cheerleading squad to direct male spirit at basketball games. The squad’s formation necessitated a change in Pep Club rules to allow boys to join. Sporting uniforms pro- vided for them by the school, the boys stood out in white overalls and green shirts. In commenting on their unique en- deavor, squad members Jack Sawyer and Mike Tanck said, “Before we came, cheerleading was a popularity contest. This year we tried to direct it toward building school spirit.” Two squads of girl cheerleaders worked alongside the boys as they led Viking supporters in yells and chants throughout the season. Junior Beth Wilson joined the squad after the football season when Lynn Thiele moved to Texas. She and the 17 other Viking cheerleaders composed the only squad which included male members of all the schools VHS com- peted against. 1.

Girls ' Sports Change Pace In its first season as an organized sport, the Girls’ Golf team gained ex- perience and developed a cooperative spirit en route to compiling a 7-5 record. Playing three matches a week at times, the girls drove their way to place fourth out of ten teams in the sectional meet. New coaches and new uniforms gave the Girls’ Volleyball teams a fresh look. Doug McGriff coached the A team to an 8-10 record while Coach June Schmett’s B team turned out 16 wins and three losses. Carol Klemz, Nancy Clarke and Sue Hauber added force to the Viqueen attack as the A team won the sectional at Morgan.

The girls went 13-0 during the regular season, won the Duneland Conference and sectional titles, and finished sixth in the state. Depth was a factor in the season. Coach Foley said, “We had extremely strong back-up swimmers who consis- tently received thirds at meets, plus a group of exceptional athletes who got firsts.” In the state meet, Carol Woycik placed second in the 200-yard free- style and Sue Poncher swam to a third-place finish in the 50-yard free- style. The 400-yard freestyle relay com- prised of Woycik, Poncher, Karen War- wick, and Carla Somers placed third in state competition. The Girls’ Gymnastic team com- pleted the year with a 5-5 record in both the beginner and intermediate classes. Coach Mona Rhoda commented, “This season was exceptional as far as cooperation went, considering the six long months that the girls concen- trated on gymnastics.” 1.

Girls’ Swimming Gymnastics — 131 - Attitude Sparks Team Records While the majority of VHS students studied diligently for semester exams, the Girls’ Basketball teams sacrificed sleep and study hours to play River Forest and Hammond Gavit on conse- cutive nights. Despite the zeal the team displayed throughout the year, varsity Viqueens suffered a 5-8 season. The junior var- sity, however, broke down their oppo- nents 12 times while losing twice. Since 26 sophomore girls played on the JV team, coaches initiated a policy of rotating seven people to play in each game. This gave more girls an opportunity to participate. Even though the varsity team worked hard and played well as a team, they lacked a leader who could take control of the game. Assistant Coach Judy Lebryk commented, “The girls enjoyed what they were doing and had a chance to meet girls that they wouldn’t have met otherwise.” 132 — Girls’ Basketball 1.

Each thread in its place, radically different from the material it once was, changed by the artist’s skilled hands to something more refined, more prepared for whatever and whenever — if ever.

Attitude Promotes Optimism In its efforts to serve both students and faculty alike, the administration worked to develop an amiable en- vironment and an above-average rap- port between students and teachers. An atmosphere of optimism has had a twofold effect: help from the administration has enabled teachers to do a better job and has allowed students to assume more responsi- bility. Constantly working to maintain an up-to-date curriculum, administrators co-operated with educators to up- grade courses. Besides having an active hand in curricular events, the administration extended itself through a number of publications. A handbook, distributed to the student body at the opening of the 1.

Furthermore, a curriculum booklet outlining course offerings was com- piled and printed to aid students in planning their schedules. The early part of the school year saw administrators making final ar- rangements for the NCA evaluation committee. Throughout the week of October 29, the committee observed teachers and talked with students. Administrators were anxious to re- ceive a favorable evaluation because of the impact it would have on the schoolboard ' s budget and policy- making decisions. Although the report noted areas in which improvements were needed, the overall appraisal was an excellent rating. Administration — 139 Curriculum Changes Warrant Media Staff’s Efforts Upon entering the Learning Center, the first impression one formulated was merely a superficial overview. Comfortable furniture, sound-absorb- ing carpeting, piped-in music, and displays of art work provided a relax- ing atmosphere for students as well as teachers and for leisure reading as well as studying. Examining the bi-level facility more intensely, students discovered not only books, but periodicals, filmstrips, and video-taping equipment which proved to be valuable research tools. To keep teachers and students alike supplied with audio-visual aids and supplementary material, school me- dia professionals Mr. Dean Gerber and Miss Beth Wahlert found it necessary to pace themselves one step ahead of curriculum trends. An awareness of the changing curriculum helped the professionals prepare for new additions such as the interdepartmen- tal American Studies course. The Learning Center staff extended its re- sourcefulness from curricular to ex- tra-curricular participation, lending aid whenever possible. National Honor Society and VALE- NIAN received a helping hand in the preparation of slide-tape presenta- tions. Media crew members used equipment to video-tape basketball games. Moreover, the Educational Media Division of Indiana and the NCA evaluation committee both found Learning Center equipment instru- mental as they met to discuss educa- tional methods. 1.

Staffs Perform Vital Functions Often overlooked, but the first to be missed, secretaries played a vital role in the life of Valparaiso High School. Assisting administration, teachers, and students, secretaries were respon- sible for many of the important de- tails which kept the school running smoothly. The Guidance Department also pro- vided valuable services to the student body. Among these services were the Guidance Library and the job employ- ment service. To help students in their college search, the Guidance Department asked representatives from various colleges to come and talk with stu- dents. A total of fifty representatives visited the school throughout the year, meeting in seminars with stu- dents to discuss the pros and cons of the various institutions. 1. Guidance Director Mr. Don Dick supervises counselors in their endeavors to aid students. 2. Mr. Alfred L. Henkel, full-time guidance counselor, looks forward to active retirement. 3.

Combined Efforts Of Staff Result In Efficiency Faculty Staff — 145 Anticipation- Weary of school rules and other tri- via, seniors made post-graduation plans for work, marriage or further education. Impatiently awaiting grad- uation, but not quite ready to accept the finality of leaving high school, many seniors found themselves in a state of limbo. Although recent years have char- acterized graduating classes as apathetic, six senior boys ignited a spark of hope for the 1975 graduates. Organizing into a cheerleading squad, the boys assured outsiders that the class of 1975 was spirited and willing to get involved. Elected to lead a class of 419 members, senior class officers; main task was to plan periodic class reunions following graduation.

United academically, juniors ful- filled the two credits of required American history. This year ' s juniors experienced a refreshing change as history classes moved to the semes- ter-long phase-elective format. Beginning with organization and supplementing this with their own optimism, Junior Class officers and 30 prom committee members led an enthusiastic class through the successful creation of “Lost in Atlan- tis. Juniors initiated several activities to raise funds for the one-night affair. In a November project entitled “Do- nate-A-Day,” Junior Class members sold themselves to people in the community. The slave day proved to be an accomplishment, netting $750. Additional funds were compiled in a Junior Class sponsored car wash, held in mid-April. Although bad weather threatened, the car wash brought in $175. Collection of class dues and the raffling of a Norfolk Island Pine tree were other ways in which the com- mittee obtained financial support for prom. After weeks of hard work and making ends meet, juniors saw their efforts paid off in the reality of “Atlantis.” Juniors — 163 A Valparaiso shopper takes advantage of Junior Class slave day to complete an- other sale for Cherie O’Con- nor and Rick Rumford.

By the second grading period they learned that finding classrooms and making adjustments was not as bad as it was often purported to be. This was especially true when upperclassmen offered encouragement to sophomores as they navigated their way through alien corridors. Sophomore athletes proved them- selves both on the gridiron and hard- wood, producing a perfect football rec- ord and dropping only one basketball contest.

As the staff’s third major deadline approaches, American Yearbook representative Mrs. Pat Lindemann and adviser Miss Gloria Arvay check layouts before shipping them. 3. With pictures and a pica stick close at hand, Organizations Editor Kathy Newland designs preliminary layouts for her section. 4. Taking a break while Miss Arvay takes a phone call in the Faculty Library, the VALENIAN staff relaxes before settling down to work. 5. Because her job as Album co-editor necessitates knowing many de- tails, Mary Rose Dougherty interviews sophomore class officers. 6. Both in their first year on the VALENIAN staff, Stacie Fisch and Gary Smith consider what angle for the picture they are taking would be best. Acknowledgements — 209 Rebate, stalemate Outside influences geographically far-removed yet exerting a constant force. 1975 scandal, crisis, inflation as the nation looks toward its bicentennial. Politically new faces, policies struggle to relieve economic difficulties. Unemployment soars, steel industry lays off thousands, Chrysler begins rebate mania. Conflict friction in the Middle East comes to a standstill, Viet Nam . . succumbs. Everyone asks why and those in authority continue to seek the Answer as an anxious world waits in bewilderment. 1. Following his inauguration as 41st Vice-President of the United States, Nelson A. Rockefeller receives a congratulatory handshake from President Gerald Ford. 2. Amidst the din of a city under seige, a soldier of the Khmer Rouge drives Pnom Penh shopowners from their stores. 3. In between his attempts to restore peace to the Middle East, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger appears before a Senate Subcommittee on Capitol Hill. 4. Skirted by followers of Operation PUSH, Rev. Jesse Jackson leads a minority protest down Chicago’s State Street. 210 — Closing March - May Reflection warmer weather and the realization that time is passing cause many to stop and think. The older ones look back over lost moments and idealistically dream of what lies ahead. The younger ones take it a moment at a time but perhaps not as carefree as they seem. Many search for windows and finding them gaze out at a baffling world. Some seek answers to abstract riddles, others merely criticize But each wonders in his own way what his contribution will be. 1. A hike at Dunes State Park gives Exchange Club members an opportunity to get acquainted with vi- siting foreign students. 2. An early arrival at the meeting point on Vale Park Road, a lone car awaits the formation of a caravan on Senior Skip Day. 3. Though spring is a little late in making its appear- ance, this columbine blooms in the VHS Nature Study Area. 4. No longer battling the pre-graduation jitters, Tarik El-Naggar and fellow seniors relax at the VU Union. 5. Anxious seniors keep track of the dw indling num- ber of days they have left at VHS. 6. On an afternoon when most students and teachers are long-gone, light pours in through a window fac- ing North Campbell Street. Closing — 213 l, I, 3 . . . years 9 Lives like threads, touch and intersect, form patterns and are inevitably pulled apart by chance and Circumstance. Beauty is lost, but wisdom is gained as bonds are made and broken. Those who must move on toward an unsure and fast-arriving future. Those who stay behind look on in envy or worry that perhaps they’re too young, too confused to be leaving so soon. The speeches made, the farewells said, and another year comes to a close. 1. Hallways empty and the parking lot fills as 2:27 r eleases students from the confines of VHS. 2. A warm May afternoon prompts Ms. Margaret Phillips to do a little spring cleaning in her room. 3. On an afternoon when underclassmen are going through the rigors of final exams, seniors and Mr. Don Dick practice for upcoming Commencement ceremonies. 4. A common mode of transportation for many VHS students is the unglamorous, but economical, school bus. 5. A 17-year veteran of the VHS janitorial staff, Mr. A.W. Dickson endeavors to keep classrooms and corridors spotlessly clean. 6. For those who engage in the art of skipping break- fast, doughnuts and assorted other items are avail- able in the cafeteria before school. 214 — Closing £irT 11 IK The material the culmination of much thought and hard work, intricate and complex while appearing to be so homespun and simple. Some examine the cloth for flaws and technical details while others are content to merely stand back and admire the work. No matter how one looks at it, it’s difficult not to be impressed with the beauty and unity of a design so filled with contrasts. The Region overflowing with contrasts, complications, but joining somewhere along the way, and Weaving it into Valparaiso. - • ,r .„, „ Y : ■ � • v- - ’ , , I ... A ' ■ ' • ' • ' ' Y --h , . . y.
