THE VERSAILLES Page 17 A JUNIOR ESTIMATE OF THE SENIOR CLASS Whoops! Here we were at last. Plopped right down into V. H. S. and told to go to work. That is, by the superintendent, but we didn’t—we wanted to know just where we were; who the other natives were . . . And we found out. Those snooty Sophomores soon let us know how we rated. We didn’t even rate—we were just tolerated and that was all. We were green, it is true, green with envy. But what Freshmen aren't? That long year finally passed, and the next found them Juniors with no particular position to speak of. They didn’t laugh at us this year, for we had learned the importance of the Sophomore Class from them. We found out some of their real characteristics; we had strengthened the friendships which began the year before; they were our criterions; we learned High School Customs and Ethics from them; we watched their steps through the halls of knowledge for three years. And now, at being asked to give an estimate, we are quite overwhelmed at the honor! The Seniors have done well in their studies. As usual, in every class there are those of brighter brilliance and those who can not be seen except with a telescope along with high-powered lenses. This class has both of these. But with painstaking care the faculty has touched ’em up a bit, and now they are ready to cast their effulgent rays on a world other than V. H. S. We can see how this class will add to the industrial world, for into Life’s FIELDS it is sending a MILLER, a WEAVER and a MARKER. They say that Maxine Web- ster is compiling a dictionary, but I will not believe it until I hear that JIM WEAVER is in the band and that SIR THELMA OLIVER TWIST has another Literary Production ready for the press. In years to come, I can fancy DICK GRILLOT and CARL POLY as two big business men, but we hope they won’t become HARDMF.N, for we have plenty of them now. Some of the students will brob-ably stay at home and begin (BEGIN) to do nothing. I know others who would like to go to FLORENCE or VIRGINIA, or the BANKS of some peaceful river, and read detective stories. In spite of the fact that this class thinks it possesses all the good qualities to be found, there are those who say they are wrong. They have both class and school spirit. They have always supported good causes—one can perceive that by the manner in which they have managed their class activities. Now they are a bit egotistical, but then every class passes through that stage when they consider themselves the mightiest of the mighty. And with Hartman for law, supported by Rhoades for order, it’s no wonder they are so well behaved. They say Jessie rides NICE-ON-’ER little Shetland pony, and if Harry keeps on PLEASING’ER, he will make a success of it yet. While looking at the mills in Holland one day, we saw two GRIST-MILLERS, namely Earl and Elmer . . . Did you ever hear EVELYN go boo? (GOUBEAUX.) Our Seniors are not socialists, but they are real social lights in the school. They make all their class parties a success. The Jun-
