Page Ten THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 SENIORS On September 9, 1925, forty-five studious young boys and girls entered old V. H. S. This was entirely a new step, but they soon mastered their environment. These energetic “freshies” were ready to participate in all the activities the Freshman year offered. The class was well represented in football and basketball. A Girls’ Soccer team was organized, with Miss Schad as coach. Many of the students made a fine showing in Literary and Choral Club. The election of officers was held at the beginning of the year, with the following iesults: President, George Wilson; Secretary, Virginia Falknor; Treasurer, Richard Wilson. The following September thirty-six members returned to begin their Sophomore year. Part of this term was spent in Lemoine Hall. Our talent still increased and many of the class took part in Glee Club, Orchestra and Operetta. At an early date the class was organized with the following officers: President, Gertrude Boomershine Swallow; Vice-President, Joe Williams; Secretary, Virginia Houser; Treasurer, Harold Pearson. We continued our journey, realizing that only two more years would pass before we would be the big IT. Now we were Juniors, with the same spirit and pep as before. The last semester was spent in the new building. The class published “The Swastikian”, under the direction of Miss Jones. Due to the efficient management and co-operation of the High School, it was a success. The Junior-Senior reception was held in the High School auditorium, May 10, 1928. The banner was restored to the Seniors and all hard feelings were forgotten. The Seniors bade farewell to V. H. S., and welcomed the Juniors in their places. The officers for 1928 were: President, Dorothy Miller; Vice- President, Virginia Houser; Secretary, Jeanette Ash; Treasurer, Geo. Ward. During our journey, several members withdrew. Two Junior boys, namely, Paul Gerlach and Chalmer Hesson, were promoted to our class, making a total of thirty-five. At a meeting, the class chose the following officers: President, Kenneth Coffieid; Vice-President, Lowell Apple; Secretary, Esther Hardman; Treasurer, Arline Daugherty. In October a “hard-time party” was held at Spring Hill, which was well attended. This year finds us at our height in Athletics, Honorary, Literary, Dramatics, Glee Club and Orchestra. We, the Senior Class of ’29, desire to express our sincere appreciation to the Faculty for their untiring efforts to benefit us. —Lucille Meyer.
