Mary and Frances were model girls, Jennie and Agnes were hunters of pearls, Chuck Anderson had a “speak-easy” bold, Emily Elwood greasy hamburgers, sold. Ruth Kennedy was a dashing young bride And Rex Fetterman was right by her side, Mae Painter sold the Purest of Gin In V. H. S. for ten cents a tin. Bill Fraser sold limberger cheese, Chuck Blair had a patent in fleas, Adaline Ceraso was a peroxide blonde, Pauline Freshwater owned a lily pond. Pearle Johnston made pimento shampoo, Janet Anderson slung hash in a zoo, Millie Pugliese sold gold fish to cats, While Naomi was a trimmer of hats. Evert Simpson made the motor hum Seward SinCIair was a regular bum, James and Bill Garmen were winning fame Making scores at a foot ball game.

Leila and Julia were cabaret queens, Richard and “Vic” were selling string beans, Elizabeth and “Kate” tamed a worthless toad While walking along the dusty brick road. Earnest Cravener was the same old sheik A bicycle saleman, twice a week, Carroll Sloan was a preacher of Heaven, John Davis yelled “Seven come Eleven.” Stanley Spiher was digging ditch, Bob Campbell had ten day itch, Louise Shepler, our maiden fair, Taught Olive Hunger not to swear.

 =D v lI d=L J Q 1 The Class of ’25 We shall now broadcast from Station V. H. S. the history of the Class of ’25. It is not our desire to be boastful nor in the least egotistical, however we do feel that anyone having a five-tube Super-Hetrodyne or a Crystal Turpentine should tune in and listen to our message. Our waves are mostly Vobbed, so it will be impossible to give you the meter, however the mett-er is usually after school. In our Freshmen year, not being allowed to organize and still considered as children, it was quite difficult to have any social activities, but after exercising our infant minds, we were finally given the privilege to have a Skating Party, which was held March 31, 1922. The event was quite a success in spite of all the jeers and Ha, Ha’s of our superior classmen.
