Verna Kings ton (Ardis Wicks) Oh, boy, said Verna when asked how it seemed to be a senior, I would not miss it for anything;it's a swell year and a busy one. ’Then asked what her class activities had been, she replied, Cheerlead- er; class officer during first three years; treasurer of the Senior Class;co-cancy manager; editor of the PACEMAKER;treas- urer of Athletic Council, for freshman year; president of Athletic Council, senior year'.' Then she continued, I sang in glee club; played the part of Mrs. Hudson in the senior play and was chosen by the class and teachers to write the es- say for D. A. R. and I an the Valedictorian. Verna said that ten years fron now according to the law of averages, she’d be married. But between now and then she would like to work either for the telephone company or in a newspaper office pounding a typewriter. The high light of the year that Verna recalled was the senior play. I remember the difficulties that Mrs. Keeler had when the parts weren't learned, and when the refresh- ments were missing; how Philip hated to .acquire gn.y hair by the use of powder puff! I re- c .11 ho tine when Lyle and I weye on the stage, talking to Raymond who was still behind the curtain and the improvis- ing we did; the time the furn- iture arrived; (it was later given to the school as a tok- en of appreciation). I also recall the surprise of the class when we learned, that a profit of $63 had been made! ’Then asked what she would like to will to the pupils of the Theresa High School she said: My figure in slacks and sweater to Geraldine Vfalsh; rry long distance telephone call to Eleanor Vock; an imitation of my fraternity pin to Flor- ence Shannon; my long finger nails to Barbara Griffin; my typing tactics to Raymond Bar- tlett and Glen Decker; my ac- robatics to 3har3.es Stewart. Yes, I've certainly enjoyed my senior yc ir!

VALEDICTORY Parents, teachers, friends: The Class of 1943, in expressing to you its apprecia- tion of your attending its graduation, realizes that your presence here tonight indicates your interest in the members of this class. We sincerely thank our tea- chers for their guidance through the years of our high school course, and we hope that we have completed our parents' proudest expectations. Classmates, remember, Man's mettle is tested in adversity and in success. May you have the highest grades in both. Being graduated this evening represents to us the ac- complishment of the tasks set for us, the gaining of another base in the game of life. It is a victory that seems important to us at the present moment, but how insignificant it is compared to that victory about which freedom-loving persons are thinking'. V stands for that victor}'. Throughout the world, written in Am- erican factories, painted on English fences, pictured in Canadian homes, and discussed at the Russian battle- front, will be found the famous V in Morse code: dot, dot, dot, dash. With this symbol of liberty burns a constant desire for an allied peace which will insure to us, secure homes, the right to govern ourselves, freedom from want and fear, and the many privileges of free men. It seems strange that such a small thing as a V can have the power to cement the bonds between great count- ries, to keep them fighting for a common cause, but dot dot, dot, dash has become a language unusually spoken. As R. A. F. and American bombers roar over France, Hol- land, and those other countries suffering from Hitler's heel, in thousands of homes begins that defiant sound: dot, dot, dot, dash. It grows, swelling and flooding until the world is immersed in the surging waves of dot dot, dot, dash. On the battle front and on the home front, a silent, tense greeting passes among friends •and allies— V for victory. America must help win this victory and tonight the Class of 1 9 A 3 is proud to march out into the world tuned to the thrilling song, V Stands for Victorvi
