Our play, “Smile, Rodney, Smile,” Won many a compliment. Our prom, a great success, Is, in history, our greatest event. Now, since we own our lovely room, We’ve dropped our sad demeanors, To become a perfect class, The nineteen twenty-nine Seniors. We realize now—it seems too late— That school has just been fun. We’ve given life no serious thought; We feel it’s just begun. With many a heavy heart, V. H. S., we bid you adieu. In life we’ll do our part And be a credit to you. T. S., S. T. CLASS MOTTO Life is what we make it.” CLASS FLOWER Coral Rosebuds CLASS COLORS Coral and Silver 16

Junior Class History In 1926 forty-six Freshmen entered Vernonia Hi to follow in the footsteps of their older classmates. Timid though we were, the Sophomores soon took advantage of “Freshman Tradition.” After being tormented a week, we were given a party. We began our high school career with five honor students, Catherine Hoffman, Alberta De Rock, Violet Phelps, Phoebe Greenman and Marjorie Kelly. Miss Goodin was our class advisor. In ’27 we became Sophs. We now had the opportunity to retaliate by harrying the Freshmen. Catherine Hoffman was a member of the debate team and the following were on the honor roll: Marjorie Kelly, Dorothy Holtham, Catherine Hoffman, Alberta De Rock, William Culver, Dwight Strong, Violet Phelps and Mildred Tousley. Miss Malmsten was our class advisor. During ’28 and ’29 we were a wide-awake, succeeding class, represented in every school activity. Bodie Hieber was Student Body treasurer and Catherine Hoffman was vice president. The majority of the annual staff consisted of Juniors. Dorothy Holtham, Dorothy Throop and Charlotte Green were on the star volleyball team, and Charlotte Green and Mildred Hawkins were on the basketball team. Neal Bush, Bodie Hieber, Billie Culver and Howard Lee gave the class its reputation in athletics, of which it is justly proud. The honor students this year were Catherine Hoffman, Alberta De Rock, Mildred Tousley, Violet Phelps, Zelma New, Norma Anderson and Billie Culver. On March 29 we presented the play, “In Cherry Time.” Our prom proved a great success. Our accomplishments prove us worthy of our reputation. 18
