Seniors Now listen, my children, and you shall hear Ot that one great day which is drawing near, Then shall we sever the fondest of ties An then we shall bid our tearful goodbyes, To the future by a different lane Each shall strive for that bubble-FAME, Earnestlv prepared we, the path we knew Perhaps as other Seniors dog Yes, it was difficult, now we'1l confess Was it worth the effort?-Well, you can guess. Many times we have barked our Shins, Often we have been knocked from our pins, Thrown from the quest of that phantom-like thing, Which gives the joy that knowledge brings, Then back to the subject of which we prate, Words won't express it, we'll send it by freight, It's Commencement Day of which we speak, You knew that before, or you are a freak, That eve, we, guarded by our teachers dear, Shall receive the pIeb's gaze cold and drear, Dear Underclassmen, we would have it said, To gain knowledge, thou in our footsteps tread, Four vears have we toiled as tho' for our life, Do you think we're heroes in the strife? We plodded along, We were slow but sure, As year by year our class ranks became fewer, We wish you all luck in the mad race of life, We make our last exit with trumpet and rife, We will never forget our High School of the past, And as loyal Alumni we'll not be the last. C, LUCAS, '13

Class History THERE are thirteen members in the Senior Class of 1913. This is an unlucky number, but of course we are not superstitious. There were seventeen members in our class when we entered V, H. S. in 1909, and three of us had entered the primary grade together. The other fourteen had joined us in different grades, Charles W. Dodson was our superin- tendent and Mr. Dinsford was principal and English teacher. We learned our iirst Latin Sentences under Miss McComas. Mr. Monroe taught Algebra and Botany and Mrs. Monroe taught Music and Art till the Hrst of March, then Mr. Crask took Mr, Mon1oe's place and Audrey McCord- Jones took Mrs, Monroe's position. The next year we were Sophomores and thot we knew almost as much as the Seniors. We had lost four of our class mates whom we had in our Freshman year But Frank Greenley and Grace Wilkinson-Van- Devanter entered in this class. We are the iirst class to have a married woman for one of its members. This year all the teachers were new ones except A. McCord Jones. J, W. Wilkinson was superintendent, Mr. Myers principal, Miss Lowder taught Latin, and Miss Rapp was English teacher. Mr. Spooner taught History for a short time but resigned and Mr. Ludlow took his place. When we entered our Junior year we had lost two of our old mem- bers, while at the same time we had two new ones to join us. These were Leslie Jones of Stone Bluff and Charles Belles of Wallace. Mr. Wilkinson was our Superintendent again that Veal, and we had Miss Lowder, Miss Rapp, Audrey McCord-Jones and Mr. Myers with us again. Alfred Hesler was our new History teacher. We enjoyed our first three years of high school life. ' Now we have reached our last year in the V. H S. under the sup- ervision of Mr, Wilkinson, Miss Norman, Englishg Miss Holland, History, Mr. Suter, principal, Science, Miss Dagger, Latin, and Miss Lester, Music and Art, This year we started in with one of our members of our Junior class absent, and this was Paul Gossett. Later lrma Mitchell quit and is now Irma Oyler, and Esta Isley also quit. This leaves thirteen in our class, who all join together in wishing that we receive our reward on May 8, 1913, l MARGUERITE ANSBERRY
