SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The senior class of 1941 (60 members intact) entered ye olde high school in September 1937, inwardly quaking but on the surface as calm and nonchalant as if it were an everyday occurrence. Knowing full well the trials and tribulations that were to come with the dreaded proverbial initiation, they donned their best offensive and came through the initiation without considerable loss of their dignity. They chose for the year as their president,Jim Ryers and as their class adviser,Ray Mills. When the next year rolled around and they were ready to pick up their books and resume school again,they chose as their class president Roy Soejima. Though a trifle smaller in number, they showed their vigor and enthusiasm with a prompt, but nevertherless effective, initiation of the freshmen. During their sophomore year the class won second prize in the annual carnival contest and sponsored a concession in the May Day festival, which proved to be equally successful. The climax of the year was the annual class picnic at Big Eddy. The last shouts heard then were, Yippee, school's out I As juniors they were handed the title, upperclassmen , which they gravely accepted knowing full well the responsibilities it would bring. Barbara Nichols was chosen to head the group and Mr. McCoy was elected adviser for the year. Button Button , a clever and hilarious comedy, was chosen to be the class play and was produced under the direction of Miss Wilkinson. Everyone voted this play a number 1 production. The second venture of the class was a Saint Patrick-Leap Year dance which proved to be highly successful, both entertainingly and financially. The gymnasium was decorated attractively in cedar boughs and balloons. On April 26 the juniors presented one of the loveliest proms ever given in V. H. S. The theme, Winter Wonderland , was beautifully pictured with soft snow, icicles, igloos, and ice cave. Winter Wonderland will not soon be forgotten by those who attended. With tons of ice cream, the class ended another successful year for the class of 41 at a picnic held at Big Eddy.
