THE 8WA8TIKIAN Page 23 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 19 22, fifty-six Freshman entered the old school building of V. H. S. We were all a little frightened at first, because of the strange teachers and new faces around us. Hut our upper classmen treated us fairly well, and in about three weeks things were going rather smoothly, although a few still consulted the schedule or asked the teachers where to go. Mr. Linville was proud of our class because we were all so bright in General Science and in spelling. In spite of the airs of our upper classmen, we excelled in literary work and in athletics. Some of the boys from our class were football stars, and among these were Paul Begin, Lohnvan Blue, John Harvick, and Charles De Laet, who certainly showed the others how to play. Both boys and girls took part in basketball and Glee Club work. Many had their names on the Honor Roll. The year passed rapidly and then came the examinations in whicn the most of us had the happiness of being promoted. The school year closed with a big picnic at Evergreen lake at which all present greatly enjoyed themselves. Vacation passed quickly and on September the tenth, we again entered the same old building as Sophomores in spite of the fact that we had been promised a new school building. Yet we were glad to renew friendships of the former years. We were sorry to see that a few ot our former classmates had not returned and hoped they might meet with success in all their undertakings. Hubert Boyer and Opal Longnecker withdrew from the class during this year. Having recovered from this disappointment, we began with renewed vigor on the year’s work before us. We now possessed more talent and honor as well as egotism than ever before, and again many of our classmates were on the Honor Roll. The election of officers was held at the beginning of the year and the results of the election was as follows: Paul Begin, President; Clarence Brown, Vice-President; Chalmer Hile, Secretary; Loma Kamman, Treasurer; Miss Grace Shank, Class Advisor and John Meyers, Jr., Class Reporter. On October 11th, the election of the Annual Staff was held. Many boys and girls from our class took leading parts in the Glee Club Operetta which was given on February 28th, and met with great success. This year closed with another picnic at our favorite place, Evergreen lake. Here we are as Juniors with the same old school spirit and pep which we have always possessed. At the election of class officers which was held at the beginning of the year, the same president, Paul Begin, and treasurer, Loma Kamman, who had served the year before, were again elected, which showed that they had been alert and efficient in the performance of their duties. The new Vice-President was John Meyers, Jr., and the Secretary was Georgia Trittschuh. We regret that a few more of our classmates have withdrawn namely Bessie Oliver, Dorothy Boyer, Maude Sherry, Junita Emmons, Sarah Cohen, Anthony Grogean and Dale Sebring. During this year the Honorary Society was organized and some of our classmates are prominent members. Among these are Martha Fields, Mary Ullery, Georgia Trittschuh, Raymond Trittschuh, John Meyers, Jr., and Ward Swineharr. Our class has always been one of the first to have a hundred per cent membership in the Athletic Association and has taken an active part in all movements of this kind in the school. We, the Class of 19 26, wish to express our gratitude to the Faculty, for the interest they have taken in us, and the help they have given us this year. We hope that if Dame Fortune sees fit we may have them all with us again next year. —ESTELLA CASHMAN
