0 [ V E R H I A N ] QiStorp of Qlafig of 1924 IN the fall of 1919, we, with green ribbon bows and ties, something characteristic you know, rushed madly into a new career, as Freshmen. About all we can remember is our initiation. The superior Sophomores pushed us into a room, braided the girls hair in pigtails, put on war paint, red for the girls, black for the boys and marched us out to be inspected by the upper classmen. However, the next year as Sophomores, we got it back on the new frosh and thought it was fun. As Freshmen we were nine, as Sophomore’s we were six. Eddie Condit left for Portland part of the Sophomore year but when the bells rang for the beginning of our Junior year, here was our ever loyal Eddie back with us again. This year we were four. Harry Keasy thought he was a little superior so graduated with the class of 1923. At the beginning of the fall term of 1923 we found Seniors from various points, Margaret from New Mexico, John from Texas, Helen from Kansas and Ernest from Shedd, Ore., to play an important part in our last year of high school. Soon after school began we organized our class. Helen Brown was elected President, W. Sheeley Vice President, John Wharton Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Holaday as class sponsor. Right here we, the Seniors, take off our hats to Miss Holaday, who has certainly stood by us, fought our fights and helped us win in the end. On leaving school our one aim in life is to become one with the world and win fame for ourselves and V. H. S.” Class Motto—“Not Finished, Just Beginning” Class Flower—Pink Carnations. Class Colors—Cream and Coral. —12—
