Theirs has been the Inspiring Motive which has guided us through the weary hours of the day ; which has gloried in the strength of our young Manhood and Womanhood; and which, we are fully aware, can find its fitting Memorial in our attaining the upright, honorable Manhood and Womanhood we pray God we may achieve.

Page 6 THE VERSAILLES (Our Mr. Hartman is a school executive of sterling worth, and is well known as such among his co-workers. He comes to us with high standards and lofty ambitions, taking inspiration from the splendid condition in which Superintendent Everhart left the school system. The pupils of Versailles may be justly proud of their modern building with its beautiful location and surroundings. The curriculum of our school system offers the General, College Preparatory, Scientific, and Commercial Courses. From these, each student may select the course best suited to his liking and ideas of future work. Even though we have these four appropriate divisions in our curriculum, each course affords a well-rounded education with frequent opportunities to develop new ventures in each field. As we strive earnestly and constantly towards the goal of educational advancement, there are extra curricular activities that offer development mentally, socially, morally and physically to each student. Miss Ham, our music supervisor, has charge of the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. The students who join these organizations are placed in the divison n whch ther voices are suited. Both the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs have weekly practices. The tireless effort of these musical organizations is appreciated by the student body as well as the general public on numerous occasions. Our school Orchestra and Band, conducted by Mr. C. M. Hengen, offer opportunity to pupils interested in other musical lines. The Band proves a valuable asset to our school, especially at the football and basketball games. The Orchestra does its part in various school programs, and always gives worth while entertainment in the variety of selections. The Dramatic Club is under the efficient direction of Miss Kley. The members of this club display their talents in one-act plays, skits, readings, and some three-act plays at various times during the school year. The genuine value of this club is felt by the entire school. The school cafeteria is directed by Miss Swartz. This department is operated during the winter months. The dining room is very fittingly furnished and is large enough to accommodate the pupils who desire to patronize this department, as well as those who bring their lunches and may enjoy a chat with their schoolmates. Due to the unusually mild winter, the patronage was not sufficient to conduct this department as long as usual, although it proved a genuine convenience to the pupils while it was being operated. The eagerness in the athletic realm is manifest early in the fall by the number of boys who go out for football. Each evening of the season, in spite of weather conditions, finds Mr. Fambrough and his boys in practice on the field to fit themselves to meet their opposing teams in the best possible way. Shortly after school opens in the fall, cheer leaders are selected by
