JUHIGFS Glass History ln September of 1943 we, the Iunior Class, entered the doors of V. C. H. S. as green little freshies. We were put off to a good start by the Sophomores who entertained us at the annual Freshman-Sophomore party in October. Under the careful guidance of our advisors, Mrs. Wells and Miss Pryor, we began to feel less awkward about our daily actions. ln spite of our troubles and our sorrows we managed to stumble through our first year as well as could be expected. During our Sophomore year we eagerly went after our activities and discovered that there really wasn't anything to be afraid of. We no longer lost our voices and shriveled up like meek little rabbits when somebody spoke to us. We encountered our tasks with zest, but we had learned by this time to think twice before volunteering for something. e249 Iessie Lou Adams Lucille Alm lean Atwood Ioe Boaz Donald Bone Gene Bone Mendell Bone Iohn Braun Ioan Brown Daniel Burtschi Maxine Carpenter Cloide Carruthers Robert Clark Robert Corless Shirley Cripe Marilou Crothers I Wayne Cunningham I Paul Davidson Q Arlene Davis Wanda Denton

Juniors Glass History When we became Iuniors, we really got into the swing of things and were the ones who enjoyed special rights and privileges-the upper-classmen. Under the direction of Mrs. Cramer, we produced Booth Tarkington's Seven- teen, of which we were extremely proud. This year also brought about one of the worst flu epidemics that has been witnessed by the youth of Vandalia, resulting in the shutdown of our school for two weeks. According to tradition, we presented the Seniors with a banquet and dance in the spring. Although we have had unfortunate things happen during this school year, our gains have far surpassed our mishaps and we feel that this year has been well done. We, therefore, are looking forward to keeping the high standards that have been so superbly laid by the Seniors.
