SENIOR CLASS HISTORY li was four years ago in Septem tier, 11)111, that tliis rear's Senior Class entered V. H. S. for the purpose of furthering their ambitions and of acquiring for themselves rlmt most needed asset—education. During the first part of the year, we were very shy, but before much time had elapsed, tin so-called bash fulness had subsided and in its place came actions which were rather bold and daring. Ye soon learned that un'ess we applied ourselves diligently to our studies and obeyed more closely the instructors, we would never have the honor of graduating as Seniors of the class of '24 and passing through the wide open doors of life. During the first year a Hallowe'en party was held at the Lemoine Hall, and everyone seemed to enjoy himself to the fullest extent. Later the Freshmen and Sophomore picnic was held at liner's Mill near (ireenville. So ended our first year's activities. • The following year we returned as Sophomores and to our deepest regret. found that a number of our last year’s members had dropped out of our midst, including our great tenor an I vocalist, Bernard Magato. We soon found that the school year was at an end and the Freshmen and Sophomore picnic was this time held at Evergreen Lake, thus ending our se -o nd ar. On came our .Itinior year, meaning that we had ascended the ladder an ether rung. And we found our foot b II team composed mostly of Juniors : o l that we also held a leading pan iu practically all athletics. Too soon w■• found, both to our pleasure and to o tr regret that the year which hau passed so smoothly was (fearing a dose. During the last few weeks o' school social activities were held. Th • Junior and Senior reception was put over in the l . of '. Hall, the Seniors welcoming us to their place as they bid V. FT. S. farewell. Next, and Inst ly. was h dd the Junior-Senior pioni • at Overlook park at West Milton. The whole day was thoroughly enjoy ed because the students knew it would be their last meeting, until the follow ing September. So ended the school year of 1!I2:’». Vacation ended and again our fort) smiling faces were found in their us ual places, ready to front and brave the last year, which, if successful!) fought through and honors won, means forward to success in later years. The Senior t’lass early elect el for its president. Lowell Outer inuth. This year found the Senior Class sending the largest number of representatives to the field and to the front in athletics. We also took a great part in Litemries. and especial h has the class made a record in the Dramatics Class or Sigma Lambda. I'n.lcr the splendid leadership of Mis-Helen Ballinger, sixteen seniors, as members, have received valuable training. In Athletics, as our football team was such a great success, the Senior Class deserves some mention, because of its six members on that team. An athletic association was also organized with its President i member of the Dramatic Class. Ken neth Brandon. At the end of tlr football season a banquet was held at the Lutheran church, in honor of the football men. Speeches were mad-by the business and professional men of the town. Willard Moore acting as Toast Master. Another event was held Wednesday night. February ti, for the presentation of letters to the football men. The entertainment of the evening was furnished by the High School Orchestra under the instruction of Mrs. Mover, and short plays and read ings were given by the Dramatics Class. Being its fiirst public appear ance this year, the class made for it self a splendid beginning, which be fore the end of the year should accomplish much in dramatic art. Finally as a grand finale. select ed talent from the class will give a class play and class program designed to s.-t a starter for succeeding classes. Judson Fiehiger, '24. PAGE. 21
