The Venetian Snphnmnrv Eliintnrg We were a happy bunch on the morning that we entered High School. When the nine o'clock bell rang, nearly scaring some of us to death, we all went to the assembly, where our superintendent introduced a short-red- headed man to us and said that he was to be our principal. We all thought that he would be awful hard on us since he had red hair, but we found out later that he wasn't as hard as he looked. The rest of the teachers were then introduced and we were told that we should go to the office to register. After that we went home to rest for the next day which we thought would be very trying, but it was not so hard after all. We were glad, however, when it was over. After we were settled down, along came Hallowe'en alnd the High School gave a party. Then came Christmas and of course- another party, at which we all had a real good time. Then came semister exams, during which the Sophomores seemed to delight in telling us that we had all flunked in Algebra, but after the test was over we found out that it was not as bad as that. When the final exams came along we did not feel so frightened and therefore got along better. Thus ended our Freshman year in V. H. S. We were Sophomores! Oh, the joy of being worthy to be called such. We thought that our heads would never go back to their normal size, but they finally did. Of course, we had lots of fun teasing the green Freshies as the Sophomores before had teased us. When semister exams. came We were not afraid at all, although some of us did get some Fls, Our only Sophomore' boy got a V this year and you can bet We are proud of him. Now as we are nearing the close of our second year in high school, we find that we have learned many things of value during those two years. Now we bid the Seniors farewell and wish them all the good luck in the world. And our dear teachers! Of course, we couldnlt forget them after thev have been so kind to us Q???j-but we will hear more of them next year-perhaps, -Anna Maher, 24
