CLASS HISTORY EPOCH 1 In September, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Forty, there landed upon the shores of the Tempel of Learning, a goodly number of explorers and seekers after wisdom. Being shaken in spirit from their rough voyage upon the sea of inexperience, they were quite terrified by the three tribes already in- habiting this realm. There were the Sophs, wild, reckless and always ready to jump upon the newcomers from startling points of ambuscade, attacking them with sarcasm and ridicule. A tribe of greater power, but not so much given to afflicting the strangers, was known as juniors, while the chief settlers were Seniors, a mighty group who spent much time in eluding the Rulers known as faculty members, and in the pursuit of knowledge just before conclaves known as exams. The members of the new band were called Freshmen, which in the language of the realm, meant green , They separated into small bands and for the purpose of protection and mutual advancement, they elected a president for each of these bands. In spite of their greenness the new colonists made rapid progress. They obtained strong footholds in Algebra, English, History and oth- er important entrenchments of the country. The Governing Principal, Mr. Williams, soon became of much assistance in guiding the Freshmen and supply- ing them provisions for the mind. In spite of their many trials the Freshmen came to the end of the first epoch without serious catastrophe. EPOCH II At the beginning of the second epoch, the Freshmen advanced and took possession of the strongholds of the Sophs, this tribe having succeeded to the ter- ritory occupied by the Juniors. The numbers were increased by several who came in search of the greater supply of knowledge to be found in the great Vero High, as the Temple of Learning had been designated. The Governing Prin- cipal, Mr. Williams, having resigned, was now replaced by Mr. Walden. Ad- vanced strongholds of learning were conquered and the diligent Sophs grew in favor with the various members of the faculty. During epoch II the Hi-Y Club and Key Club became a part of the activities of Vero High. A rebellion of some import grew over the dismissal of a favorite ruler but it was soon settled without bloodshed. So drew to an end the second epoch. EPOCH III With the beginning of the third epoch several changes were noted. The valiant band who had entered as Freshmen, and had conquered the lessons of the Sophs, now advanced against and occupied the territory of the Juniors. To pre- side over them as the chief executive they did elect Strib Knight. During this time, class rings were received. The epoch was characterized by contentions and internal strife, because of the many members who were struggling for promi- nence in games of football and basketball. Among the noted warriors on the athletic fields were Archie Calhoun and Wilmar Law, who did win honors for the Juniors because of their might and muscle. The third epoch witnessed the introduction of the Beta Club into Vero High. Important social events of this period were the Hi-Y and Beta Banquet and the Victory Dance given instead of the usual Junior-Senior Prom. Thus did draw to a close the third epoch.
