The junior class presented the annual Junior Prom under the effective name of White Christmas. December 18 On the streets down town was heard the music of sweet voices on December 23. This was all due to the efforts of the high school glee club, which did Christmas caroling this year. After the program was given and all good youngsters of V. H. S. received their bags of candy on December 23, they were excused to enjoy a vacation until January 4. What a day 1

One would think juniors would have something better to do in English class than watch a snowplow. However, since there was lots of snow and a snow-plow is more or less an oddity to us, their behavior was excused. ENSE February was a dry month both literally and figuratively speaking. The sun was shining and everything seemed like spring. On the other hand, students had such bad cases of spring fever that very little activity was the result.
