A The Board Meets and Determines the Policies of the University Spiritual and intellectual as the purpose of Valparaiso University is, We must have a very level-headed and competent group of business men and women to look after its mater- ial weltare. To carry out this purpose, a distinguished-looking group of gentlemen migrate to Valparaiso every few months and convene in the Music Building. They determine the policies of the University, distribute the funds, and do everything else which requires their attention as directors. We can think of no one, not even the students, to whom the school means more, and the outcome of their meetings prove this. This year We received from them a Wonderful Christmas gift in the person of So Heidbrink, who came at the beginning of the new semester to be our social director. After years of our struggling along toward an adequate social program, with the responsibility largely in the hands of the overworked Student Council, this tall, charming lady from Quincy, Illinois, has taken upon herself the problems of our entertainment. ln the short semester that So has been with us, she polished off a good many rough social edges. Every Wednesday evening We dress for dinner, follow- ing which is a short entertainment. Mrs. Heidbrink has given us a formal reception, a Val- Paqe Fourteen

Few classes in the history of the University have been graduated at a more critical hour in the time of man than the Class of l94l. Upon you will fall the burden of living through the last phases of a World crisis. Yours will be the task of build- ing anew on the ruins of a World that was doomed to die of the cancer at its foundations. Few men and Women in the world of tomorrow Will be more thoroughly equipped to meet the problems and oppor- tunities of reconstruction than you who are now leaving the quiet campus of Valpo. We who remain here look forward to your careers with interest and affection. You have been trained to live intelligently in a World in which the light of reason has too long given Way to the dark- ness of blind passion. You will, l am sure, exercise the rights and duties of a generous and tolerant intelligence. Above all, you have learned to live gallantly. You are, I hope and believe, men and women who will live by eternal ideals and not momentary idols. You will recognize the sham gf evil and the reality of good. You will live with God and in hrist. l have no misgivings about your future. You are our sure investment for tomorrow. l am certain that the good Wishes and prayers of all members of the University will be yours in all the years to come. O. P. KRETZMANN, h

entine party, and a formal spring party. ln addition to her everyday tasks she heads the production staff of the Variety Show, picks out furniture, color schemes, and decorations: puts on Sunday after- noon teas, and adds touches of finesse to all of our lives. ln short, So is a blessing to Valparaiso. The board governs the money of the University, but it is up to Mr. A. F. Scribner, our Business Manager, to effect their commands. Mr. Scribner has a fin- ger in almost every cake being stirred up on the campus, for since it is he who does the paying, it's only fair that he should HENRY H. KUMNICK, A.B., LLB. know what he s paying for. ln addition Deen of Studems to these weighty responsibilities, Mr. Scribner is also Registrar. - ln the Business Office we find Miss Esther Kirchhoeffer, who is Assistant Registrar, and Mrs. Ruth Darst Diersen, Assistant Business Manager. ln- the confusion of registration they guide the bewildered freshman in making up his course and arranging for payment of the bills. Miss Mildred Carlson is the office manager of the Business Office. Acting as student secretaries who solicit new students and aid in keeping the old ones happy are two tall, suave gentlemen, Mr. Henry Stoepplewerth and Mr. Frederick Rechlin. They can present the appeal of Valparaiso University in words which we feel but cannot ourselves express. Across the way in the Department of Public Relations, publicity and solicitation of funds for the University are taken care of. Acting as head of this department is Mr. Gustav W. Lobeck, with Mr. Karl H. Henrichs as secretary of Permanent Funds. Mr. Fred Mueller is Field Representative. KATHERINE BOWDEN, B.S. KARL H. HENRICHS, M.A. KATHERINE M. KAISER, M.A. FRED H.
