THE VERSAILLES Page 21 rljonl 5d uts The Freshmen Cry Did you know the Freshmen had a party? Oh, yes, they had one about Christmas time. If you don't believe it, take a look at this: It was almost Christmas time. The invitations had been issued. Oh, this was going to be a better party than any Freshman class ever had, believe it or not. All the guests are assembled. Up the steps to the time of our V. H. S. Band, comes the Grand March. At the front are Margery Bennett and Richard Schilling. On they come. Now they are crossing the stage. Richard, smiling, steps forward and begins to speak: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am glad to—” He says no more. Cheers drown him out. They throw popcorn and confetti at him. As soon as he can make himself heard, he shouts, “C’mon, let’s go!” And the party is on. The main event of the evening was a play in which some gangsters figured. Their acting was so realistic that the audience sat stunned into silence. John Graham sent them into gales of laughter in a yodeling contest. Then there was an apple-eating contest. Of course, Ward Hole won. Suddenly there is a commotion at the door. A country couple had come to town to see the “sights”. They caused much amusement for the whole party. The rest of the evening was spent in games, puzzles and charades. . Then came the call to supper. The table was beautifully decorated in class colors of green and white. Huge bunches of snowballs adorned the chairs. The guests proceeded to eat. It was the next day. Albert Kelch woke up, stretched, and said, “Gee! I wish we could have a party like the one I attended in my dream!” Teacher—“What is the definition of ‘home’?” Earl Pepiot—“Home is where part of the family waits until the others are through with the car.” Mr. Williams—“Now that you know what a collective noun is, give an example.” George G.—“A vacuum cleaner.” Mr. Hartman—“If you had three apples and I asked you for two, how many would you have left?” Bob B.—“Three.” Mary K.—“How many senses senses are there ?” Cecilia M.—“Six.” Mary K.—“How is that? I have only five.” Cecilia M.—“I know it; the other is common sense.” Ward Hole (in General Science)—“How can you tell which
