THE VERSAILLES Page 29 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY One bright morning in September, in the year 1928, the largest Freshman Class in the history of V. H. S. entered its doors. Of course, they were very proud of the fact, and determined to be not only the largest, but also the best. There were all types of boys and girls; shy, “green”, country kids and town kids, who were pretty “wise”. Naturally, at first they weren’t acquainted, and so, soon after the opening of school, a class meeting was held and the following officers were elected : Fred Haines, President; George Wasson, Vice-President; Betty Urqu-hart, Secretary; Walter Rhoades, Treasurer; Robert Everhart, Reporter. At this meeting the class decided, as has been the custom for years, to have a get-acquainted picnic and invite the Faculty. Miss Barnhart was the faculty adviser of this large Freshman Class, which enrolled sixty members. Near the close of the school year, the class had another picnic, at Edgewater Park. The class was very loyal to the school throughout the year, and all took part in the various school activities. On a rainy morning, this same class again entered school and found six new teachers awaiting them. But they weren’t hard to get acquainted with, and proved to be very interested in our school; and we soon liked them verymuch. Our class had diminished somewhat through the summer, leaving us fifty-two in place of last year’s sixty. As in our Freshman year, we had a meeting, and elected the following officers: Dwight Berry, President; Fred Schilling, Vice-President; Delma Troutman, Secretary; Newton Beal, Treasurer; Gerald Grillot, Reporter; Paul Gasson, Social Chairman. At this meting, we planned a Hallowe’en party. We decided that it should be a masquerade party, and held it at Lemoine Hall, with Miss Steen and Miss Swartz as chaperones. Pop and sandwiches were served as refreshments, and everyone departed at a late hour, after having enjoyed the evening very much. The Sophomore Class is well represented in school activities. George Wasson received a letter in football, Betty Urquhart in girls’ basketball, Warren Seman in boys’ basketball. The following people received lyres in the Band and Orchestra: Luther Sherry, Newton Beal, Lucille Bennett, Robert Everhart and Edwin Brandon. Dwight Berry will receive one in May. Many Sophomores took part in the Literary program; Robert Everhart won the instrumental solo. An Inter-School contest was held at Arcanum. Bertha Mae Stover won a silver medal by giving a humorous recitation. Also, in the county spelling contest, Delma Troutman won first place among the Sophomores. At a later meeting of the class, maroon and blue were chosen as class colors, and the sweet pea as class flower. We owe our many good times to our Faculty Adviser, Miss Swartz, and we sincerely hope she will be with us in our Junior year.
