SOPHOMORE HISTORY On (In- tenth (lav of September, 1!)2 , twenty-five girls and twenty-six boys who were “Freshies” the year before and who will be the seniors of l!)2(i formed the famous Sophomore ('iass of l!)2d in V. II. S. It is conceded that Ibis ( lass is made up of the best material that has ever constituted a Sophomore class of historic Versail les. October 31, the election of class officers for the ensuing year was held which resulted as follows: Paul Regin. Pres.; Clarence Brown, Yice-l res.; Ohalmer Hile, Secy.; Loma Kanunan. Treas.; Miss (trace Shank, Class Advisor, and John Meyers, Jr.. Class Reporter. These others have proven themselves alert and efficient, dealing with all matters which come before the min a business-like manner. We regret that Hubert Boyer and Opal Longnecker were compelled to withdraw from our class as they moved to the city. We trust that Dame Fortune will be good to them and that they may be successful in their undertakings in the future. The Sophomore class has several great football heroes; Charles DeLaet, Luke Blue, John Hayrick, and Paul Begin, while on the Basket-ball team our two stars are Charles DeLaet and Paul Begin. Besides our class had several men on the Sub. football squad. Besides basketball, our class has several other indoor sports, such as shooting paper wads and flying “airplanes.” The participants in the last named sports are out for practice every day and are getting very accurate. Our class has many shining stars in the Boys’ and Cl iris’ Glee Club. Besides this it is well represented on all-literary programs. The Sophomores always take their part in these ]j£e.L A aries and will probably some day de-velop into great actors. • We. the Class, feel that we owe tin Faculty a debt of gratitude for.the in-J terest they have taken in ns and for ‘ the many favors shown: and eagerly hope to see them with us again next yea r.

A SURVEY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class of '24 was dul, initiated into the mysterious order of V. H. S. We all say it was myster ions, for we either consulted the schedule or asked Mr. Linville where we were to go for our classes. The first few months the X's. Y’s and Z?s were astonishing, but later we showed our teachers we were of the right stuff. (?) Maybe. Miss Shank, our A1 gebra teacher, was well pleased with us. In fact she gave us numerous tests in which we showed our ability— or inability. Miss Smelker, who taught some of us Commercial Geography or Latin, was also well pleased. Our grade cards tell the sad tale. Mrs. Moyer, teacher of Occupations and Community Civics was smitten by our intelligence. The numerous laughs she had in class at our answers express that Miss Ballinger, our teacher of English, has acquired a good many slang phrases, which we taught her in our English recitations. Mr. Linville has struggled to teach 11s the mysteries of General Science. Real izing his grat task, we hope he has an easier time with the next, class 1111 der his care. He likes our spelling for he has taken many periods telling us of it. We had a few basketball stars which showed their prowess 011 the waxed floor. Such stars as Simon, Hole, Reed, Smith, and Collins are tic1 dashing men who in future years are going in for the Olympic games. Time alone will prove our words. Our Literary stars also are a credit to V. H. S. The Freshmen have fur nished amusement in our literary pro grams for the seniors, whose positions of importance we hope to fill, if they leave school in time. The Freshman Class of '24 wishes to express its gratitude to the Faculty. They have tried hard to help ns toward success in life. We sincerely hope that we shall be remembered in after years, when we have attained the positions to which they have fitted us so wonderfully. Then shall we more fully appreciate our task masters of This year. •Tames Crquhart, '27 PAGE 27
