Instructive, interesting and lively programs were given throughout the year. As a culmination of the year’s activities the club entertained the Student Body to an evening’s program and real Spanish food during the spring term. Although the Spanish Club was only organized this year, much benefit has been derived from it and its influence will be more perceptible in the years to come. —31—

H.......................V E K H I A N ]...................R Ancient J istorp Club ANCIENT HISTORY CLUB In order to stimulate interest in Ancient History the members of the class organized the club on November 9. 1923. Officers were elected to take charge for six weeks and to arrange programs every two weeks. Frequent elections and programs provided opportunity for all of the members to hold office and participate in the programs. Ancient places, persons and countries were portrayed in an interesting manner. They were made more real to the members of the class. Impromptu speeches, class histories, caricatures of the members of the class as in the days of Pericles and Euripides, and imaginary journeys added spice to the dust of the ages. Early in the fall the club hiked to the city reservoir, disposed of some eats and returned via the woodland path in time for the afternoon classes. The members of the club invited some of the other students for an afternoon picnic on April 7. Near the railroad, north of town, the hikers found a suitable place for baseball, wienie roast and other activities. The club was enjoyed by everyone and we sincerely hope that the class of 1924-25 will organize another one which will be as beneficial to them as ours has been to us. —30—

The gymnasium was decorated in the holiday colors and a very interesting program arranged. In the corners of the room, fortune telling booths were erected at which the students learned their past, present and future from Margaret Touslev and Weston Sheeley. A trip to Mars, however, was the main feature of the evening, and in this Ernest Narver as a Ghost at the head of the star was certainly a scream, or at least there were a lot of screams produced because of his being there. Miss Holaday surely handed them a story, too, in the Ancestors’ Hall, where she had the remains of several parts of the ancestors in the form of grapes for eyes. etc. Helen Brown, the Senior President, was in charge and always came to the rescue when ever activity threatened to lapse. At ten. refreshments, cider, doughnuts and apples were served. Everyone agreed that it was a success, and it was the beginning of one of the most successful seasons of school activity that the V. H. S. has ever known. THE JUNIOR PROM. On the twentieth of March, excitement reigned in the Junior class. They were going to give the Junior Prom that evening. The hall had been obtained, music secured, invitations sent, eats provided, all there was left to do, was to wait until it was time to go. As usual it rained, but even had it poured torrents, it would not have dampened these Juniors, or the ones who were invited for that matter. All were there ready to start the ball rolling bv eight o’clock. They had good music and a very jolly crowd. Just enough on the floor, so everyone could turn around without bumping others. Dancing continued until about 10:45 when a few of the students voiced the thought of the crowd by shouting, “When do we eat?” Immediately the Grand March started, and supper was served; cream puffs, chocolate and sandwiches. —32—
