A D UW-THE JUNIIJHS We have just enjoyed our first taste of being upperclassmen. Ah! What bliss to repay the scorn that was felt by us as be- wildered Freshmen and struggling Sopho- mores. We are proud of our illustrious Class of '43. The officers of the class were elected shortly before the close of school in June, 1941. The honored recipients of the of- fices were: President, Robert Fielding, vice president, Janet Dryden, and sec- retary-treasurerg Ruth Stahlschmidt. Among other things, the Juniors have been especially active in the field of sports this year. Tom Brighton ably filled the captaincy of our soccer team. Supporting him on the team were Charles Breiner, Ray Kandel, Art Guancione, and Sonny DeVito. The football team was fortunate in having Bob Fielding, our class presi- dent, Bill Morrison, Bob Nelson, Harry Dougherty, Tom Morley, and Sonny Vitale to provide a good part of the thrills and chills of the season. Edward Mech, Buddy Miller and Sonny Vitale contributed to the success of the basket- ball team. We were well represented in baseball by Harry Dougherty, captain of the team, Ray Kandel, Tom Brighton, Tom Morley, and Ray Farley. Bill Mor- rison, Gilbert Yeskel, and Wyman Con- nor were our stars on the track team. Several members of the class have tak- en part in and contributed greatly to the band and orchestra. Wyman Connor, trombonist, represented V.H.S. in the all- state band and orchestra. Gilbert Yeskel, Miriam Colvin, Katherine Cederroth, Sonny De Vito, and Janet Dryden were other members of the school orchestra and band. Wyman Connor and Janet Dryden brought glory to their Alma Mater by be- ing invited to appear on a radio quiz pro- gram. It was a lot of fun, they said. Our literary star was Miriam Colvin, assistant-editor of Shadows and secre- tary of the White Hornet. In photo- graphy Gilbert Yeskel won second prize in a contest sponsored by Bamberger's. Talent was shown by Thelma Burris also, who gave a snappy sketch and tap-dance during the annual V.H.S. amateur assem- bly hour. To round off an active and happy year, the traditional prom,' in Iune, shortly before graduation, was presented by the Juniors. The dance was given in honor of the graduating Seniors. With the strains of the orchestra still in their ears, the Juniors depart for the summer months satisfied that they have made some significant contributions to the life of their Alma Mater. 027
