Page 8 THE SWASTIKI AN g vnwr Class Iftstsrij Station V. H. S., Senior Class of ’27, Versailles High School, Versailles, Ohio. We are dedicating this time to an important event of the year 1927. This is the last class that the old building, known as Versailles High School, will graduate. For nearly four years of training has taken place beneath its shelter. This class consists of thirty-eight young men and women, who are about to enter the highways of life where they will meet their fates. It was in the fall of the year 1923 that sixty students entered V. H. S. Soon we became accustomed to the ways of High School life, where as Freshmen we showed our loyalty by entering the different school activities. Success seemed to follow us in each of these. This year passed rapidly, closing with a Freshman-Sophomore picnic at Overlook Park. It was enjoyed by all who were present. The following September we reported for duty as sophomores. We sought our old schoolmates, renewed old friendships and made new ones. Many of our former classmates had left school or moved; so our number was decreased to fifty-two. Once more we took our place in activities. We made fine records in football, basketball, dramatics, glee clubs and honorary society. Our class was organized and the following officers elected : James Urquhart, president; William Reed, secretary-treasurer. Our class gave a market for the benefit of the Athletic Association and turned over to them $43.00. We ended this year with a picnic at Edgewater Park. By the third year of our sojourn in High School, our membership had decreased to forty-three. We were indeed sorry to lose these friends. During ’26 we published the Swastikian, which was a great success —due to the untiring efforts of the class. Each year we seem to be better in our scholarship, and more successful in activities (all of this can be proven by our records). The Junior-Senior reception, held in the Lutheran Church, proved to be our greatest accomplishment. At this time Seniors of ’26 welcomed us in to their places and bade farewell to V. H. S. As upper classmen we celebrated our success by again having a picnic at Edge-water. ,9n September 13th we registered in V. H. S. for the last time as dignified Seniors. ’26-’27 found us once more excelling as honor students and in activities. Hole. Ash, Daugherty, Fiebiger, Nis-hwitu Reed, Seman and Smith represented the boys in football and basketball, where they set a high standard for our school. Representing the girls were: Miller, Milne, Minser. and Thompson. We are sorr” seven of the class withdrew : however, three members applied for admittance, swelling our crowd to its present thirty ei ht. We are sorrowful at the thought of leaving old I i V. H. S. and our friends; but “Everything nme must end”, so our Senior year has drawn to a close. We. the Class of 1927. want to thank the Faculty for interest shown us during our four years in V. H. S„ and hope their time shall not have been spent in vain. Station V. H. S., Senior Class of ’27, Versailles High School, Versailles, Ohio, signing off.
