22 THE SPECTATOR At the expiration of our Freshman year, we were much elated to start our second year with the organization of our Class. The results were as follows: President .................... Charles Fox Vice President ............. Rolph Hammer Secretary ............. Blanche Burnheimer Treasurer .................... Paul Renton The selected colors were Blue and Gold. The big event of this year was the Dance and Party held in the Firemen’s Hall, April 20, 1923. It is needless for us to say that this occasion was more than enjoyed by the Faculty as well as the Class. The Class still bounding toward its goal, found not so much difficulty in receiving recognition from the “Seniors.” They then realized that our ambitions were not shallow and that success must crown our efforts. The Class selected Black and White as the Class colors and elected the following •officers: President ................. Thomas Cochran Vice President ...............Charles Blair Secretary ............. Blanche Burnheimer Treasurer ................ Adeline Ceraso Due to the unlimited talent of our Class we had the honor of supplying a good part of the Cast for the comic opera entitled “The ■Captain of Plymouth.” The social events of this year were more elaborate than those of former years, we, having been entertained by our superiors “The Seniors,” at a party which was enjoyed to the extent of which words cannot express the enjoyment we had. The Juniors returned this by giving a Senior-Junior party on May 3, 1923. And now approaching the last step of our goal, we started our Senior year with the assurance of making it the best year in V. H. S. During this year the Swimming Pool and Gymnasium were opened to the school and we, as Seniors, received prefer, ence. In the early part of our Senior year, the Class organized and the officers elected are: President .............. Thomas Cochran Vice President ......... Robert Campbell Secretary .......... Viola Knappenberger Treasurer ................ Adeline Ceraso Black and White were selected as Class colors. This year afforded us much opportunity for Class meetings in order to select caps, pennants, rings, etc. The untiring efforts of the Faculty must not be overlooked as it was only through them that we are able to attain our goal, and place ourselves with the Alumni.
