Sophomore Class History SEPTEMBER 3, 1928, seventy - eight Ereshmen entered high. We were the largest class that had ever enrolled at V. H. S. We elected the following officers at our first meeting: Ben Spencer, president; Kathryn Malm-sten, vice-president; La Vern Adams, secretary-treasurer: Jack Christiansen, sergeant-at-arms; Miss Hazel Malmsten, class advisor. We were initiated by the Sophomore Class, in regular form, and then left to do as we pleased. This year we retaliated by giving the Freshmen a rousing welcome to V. II. S. After making them miserable for two days, we gave them a party at the high school gym. There were not so many students to choose our class officers from this year— only fifty-eight—but we managed to fill the offices as follows: President, George Laird; vice-president, Marvel Graven; secretary-treasurer, Ben Spencer; sergeant-at-arms, Ralph George; class advisor, Miss Vera Grail. The Sophomore Class is there with the goods when it comes to the matter of athletics. Marvel Graven, Oscar Sorlee, Ralph George and Jack Christiansen turned out for football and upheld our reputation on the gridiron. Ralph George is an excellent man on the basketball team and he has done his part in helping to win our many victories. We, the Sophomore Class, are all rooters for old V. I I. S. and we are looking forward to bigger and better times as Juniors of ’31. GEORGE LAIRD. Prnident “When first we entered high school, We were green and bard to bluff. Now we’re dignified and polished; We’re the class that’s up to snuff.” —Christine Rainey DECEMBER 20—CHRISTMAS VACATION Pott Twenty
