T H E S W A S T I K I A N Page 2t SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 20, 19 23, fifty-eight boys and girls came tremibling up the well worn steps of V. H. S. to occupy the Freshman room. In time we grew accustomed to the shaky seats and trap doors, and became acquainted with our instructors. By the upper classmen we were known as “Freshies” and “Greenies,” but we soon showed them our true mettle as we shone in every sport and deed. In football and basketball seasons, as stars were needed for our teams; the Freshman Class was summoned; the call was readily answered by supplying them with able material such as Dick Hole, Bob Ash, Kelsey Smith, Leland Collins, Billy Reed, James Daugherty and Hermian Millet. A contest arose between the two English sections, A and B, for the purpose of. (1) Better English, (2) Better Material and (3) Better Delivery. Officers were elected and a “pep” leader. It was decided that a program be given and the losing side should entertain the victors. The program consisted of the following numbers: Humorous Reading, Original Ballad, Composition and Playet. Section B were the winners but with a small majority. Section A was true to the agreement and invited the remaining section to a splendid marshmallow and weiner roast. On Saturday, Aipril 26, a market was held by our class, the proceeds from which were used to pay an athletic deficit. The market netted $43.00. This large sum completely swept the upper classmen off their feet, although they failed to admit it. When it comes to “sweets” the Freshman Class can supply them as well as any other necessities. “There’s music in the air” when the Orchestra of V. H. S. plays. Of course there are Freshies in it ! Is there anything they aren’t in? The Orchestra played for the Farmers’ Institute at several sessions and also furnished music for the competitive Literary program. Our H. S. is divided into two Literary Societies—tho Philos and the Athenians. Every Freshman belongs to one or the other society, and not one of our class shirks his duty when it comes to performance. On the Honor Roll wrhich appears each period, could be seen a long list of names wThich show's just where we stand in mental achievements. No wonder we became the Sophomores in the year 1924. They didn’t have the heart to hold us in the first room another year wiien wre were capable of advancing. The last event which closed our first successful chapter of life, was the Freshman-Sophomore picnic, held May 27, at Overlook park. The day set apart for this event proved to be a dark, rainy one. Only a fewr students participated in this gathering. Thus ended our first year. On September 23, 1924, we entered V. H. S. once more but this year as Sophomores, destined to be the Seniors of 19 27. Many of our formisr classmates had left school or had moved so our number was decreased to fifty-two. What did the second year of V. H. S. have in store for us? We scon solved this problem and found the answer to be “many difficulties,” but undaunted, we were determined to be “something” in our little world. So we w'aded through and came out victorous. Our main difficulties were the six-week te=:s but with our ability and by the aid of our teachers, we have passed them thus far. Again this year wre were wrell represented in football and basketball. In the latter, Mabel Minser, Frances Thompson, Ethel Miller and Evelyn Milne made good records. In Dramatics, Glee Club, Literature, Honorary and Music Clubs, our class does its bit. We have no shirkers nor do we want any. All are in line for better things. We also want to express our gratitude to the Faculty members who nave struggled so diligently to help us in all the activities. In future years wre hope that they can look back and feel that their efforts were not unsuccessful—nor in vain.
