ir I S WASTIKI AN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY — Continued from page Twenty-three. President; Chalmer Hile, Secretary; Lorna Kamman, Treasurer. On Oct. 11th, the election of the Annual Staff was held. We continued to increase our talent and honors more than ever before. Many of our class took part in Glee Club. Orchestra and Operetta. At the close of our Sophomore year. Evergreen Lake again beckoned us to come and close the term with another happy reunion on the picnic grounds. We had reached another milestone. Our Junior year loomed before uj, making us feel that we were constantly climbing higher, but that a lot of difficult climbing lay ahead of us, also, before the top would be reached. At the election of officers, the President, Paul Begin, and the Treasurer, Loma Kamman, were retaind, while John Meyers was elecetd Vice-President and Georgia Trittschuh, Secretary. In the third year of our sojourn together through High School, our number decreased when several of our classmates withdrew, namely: Bessie Oliver, Dorothy Boyer, Maude Sherry, Juniata Emmons, Sara Cohen, Anthony Grogean, and Dale Sebring. During the Junior year, our Class published the “Swastikian”, which was a success, due to the co-operation of the entire class. In the K. of C. Hall, where the Junior-Senior Class reception was held, the Seniors welcomed us into their places as they bade farewell to V. H. S. At the close of our Junior year, a picnic was held at Overlook Park, for the Junior and Senior Classes. We were certainly glad when forty-three of our classmates were qualified to become Seniors. With heads held high, the dignified Seniors of ’26 again entered old V. H. S. Although we had been promised a new building for three years, we still retain the old pep and enthusiasm amid the desolate ruins of former years. Our last year found us excelling in Athletics, Glee Club, literary talent, and as honor students. Many of our classmates appeared in operetta and Dramatic Club play, taking leading roles as before. DeLaet, Begin, Meyers, E. Martin, V. Grilliot, Pittsenbarger and Blue represented the boys in football, and also in basketball. Those who represented the girls in basketball were Martha Fields, Mary Huber and Veronica Grilliot. We are sorry to say that three of the members withdrew —Marie Thomas, Grace Greer and Robert Medford; but we were certainly glad when two new members come into our midst, namely, Mabel Nickol and Earl Martin, promoted from the Junior Class, making a total of forty-one Seniors. Now that our Senior year is drawing to a close, we are sorrowful at the thought of leaving old V. H. S. and our schoolmates. We hope each member of the Class will profit by the experience and knowledge that he or she gained during the four years of High School. With most sincere hearts, we, the Class of 1926, are desirous of thanking the Faculty for interest shown in our Class during our four years in Old V. H. S., and we hope for the privilege of meeting one another on many occasions in the future, “while on the Road to Progress”. —LOMA KAMMAN. T wen tij -four

S. l ad the pleasure of viewing fifty-six Freshmen seeking their “home room”. We adm.t that we trembled slightly, but courage was uppermost in every one of our minds. We were glad to contribute our talent to old V. H. S., and very soon appeared in both literary work and athletics. Roth boys and girls were in the Glee Club, and appeared on the honor roll and in the Operetta. The year passed rapidly, closing with a big picnic at Evergreen Lake, which was enjoyed immensely by all who were present. The following September, we again entered the battered old building, as Sophomores, and sought our old schoolmates and renewed former friendships. We were sorry, though, when we were informed that Opal Longenecker and Hubert Boyer had withdrawn. The election of officers was held at the beginning of the year, with the following results: Raul Begin, President; Clarence Brown, Vice Twenty-three
