Since it is the style to reminisce, we, the Seniors, would like to take time out to recall the many pleasant memories of the past four years. We have come a long way since September, 1947 when, as Freshmen, we started to make a place for ourselves in the halls of V. H. S. It was a long, difficult year because of the adjustments we had to make, but one packed full of fun. John Kortright was elected the first President of the Class of '51, and Henry Palm and Ethel Wialworth were there to aid him as Yice-President and Secretary. Little did we realize that these were three of the many names which would be heard again and again in connection with important school offices. As Freshmen, it was our duty to present the first spring dance, and so we did. lt was a Spring Fiestaf, which won fame for its gay, flowery decorations. Miffed because no freshmen were asked to join the Dramatic Club, we formed one of our own and at the end of the year we were proud to boast that one of our members, Jimmy Hayne, had a small part in the big May produc- tion. The class of '51 was busy carving a niche for itself in the many different activities on the athletic field, on the yearbook, the newspaper, and various committees. We look back now and laugh, but can't you remember feeling the least bit important? We started our Sophomore year with more confidence, feeling that we were now an indispensable part of V. H. S. John and Henry again were elected to lead the class, with B. J. Brooks as Secretary. Ethel W'alworth represented the Sophs as Secretary of Student Council. W'hile the commercial students struggled with shorthand, the college department was dissecting frogs, which were affectionately tagged with monikers such as Algernon and Digby. John Kortright set the pace for marks, and the cry, Rah, rah, Tommy Hatchettn was beginning to be a familiar one on the foot- ball field. And remember Showboat, the nautical affair where we danced to the music of the Souvenirs Martin Giesbrecht, Jimmy Hayne, Henry Palm, and Wilma Graham were the mem- bers of the dance band from our class. This successful year ended fittingly with a picnic at Valley Spring Lake. Our Junior year proved to be a busy one. Herb Light, Jimmy Pignatello, and Rae DeCheser served as class officers, John Kort- right was Vice-President of the school, and Lois Axman was Secretary. Miss Howell's English class presented 'fBetween Ameri-
