Page 18 THE VERSAILLES ior-Senior Banquet of last year was so well managed that it will remain as a fond memory to the guests and hosts. JOHN gets HUFFY once in a while, but that is to be expected since his hair is red. We have slipped over LaRue (which in French means “street”) but hope nothing will come of it, —it was all for the best. Did you ever see ISABEL ALEX AND ’ER boy friend? They’re a sight for a Blind Man. “GER-LACH the door,” says Dot as she hands the key to a neighbor. After hours of trying to pronounce his name, we find Paul is just a sneeze. TR1TT-SCHUH! We have often wondered if the storm left MARY HOLE? Did you see LOVA SPILLEII sister’s ink ? We have two APPLES in our Senior bunch, but since MARY ET (Ayette) them, we shall have to depend on the Sophomores for the future supply. And we have the new meat market which Dean is opening will specialize in big hams (BIGHAM). We know that Carl isn’t a saint, even if his name is Saint Meyers; but he’s a good scout anyway. Wouldn’t it be funny to see Leona HESS ON a donkey trying to cross the RHOADES when the donkey didn’t want to cross? Berniece is one of those BYRDS that everyone likes to see; one to whom everyone delights in returning her cheery smile. There’s EMIL BRANDT and an ELMER GREWE, Both of these lads just adore “Chop Suey”; Two ROBERTS, a KENNETH and MARTHA ULLERY, The last four named proved valuable in our schoolery. And now we come to the unwelcome part. We must face the fact that the Seniors are leaving us, never to return as students in old V. H. S. Seniors, we are going to miss you. Next year, when we enter V. H. S., we shall be Seniors. It will be up to us to raise high the standards which you have held up so well. How well we do the task remains to be seen. We will try to pass on the splendid spirit of loyalty that belongs to Versailles. We shall be interested in all your achievements, and being then members of the Alumni, we are certain that you are still interested in your old V. H. S.., As you leave the threshold of V. II. S., we wish you the best that this world can give, as a token from the Class of ’32.
