Page Twenty-two THE VERSAILLES we soon removed them by our unconquerable determination to receive an education. Both the Sophomore Girls’ and Boys’ basketball teams were cro wned Champs of the inter-class tournament. The class was also well represented in the High School teams and other activities. On September eighth, nineteen thirty-one, thirty-seven students returned to old Versailles for the third lap of their journey. When we started our Junior year, we knew that we were to have one of our busiest years in school. Problems that faced us were: The choosing of a class ring; entertaining the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Reception; and the publishing of the Annual. We have done our best in trying to master these problems. Miss Murphy was our faculty advisor for this year. We elected the following officers: President, Donald Brandon; Vice-President, Thomas Boomershine; Secretary-Treasurer, Evelyn Simon; Reporter, John Turpen. The Junior Class was well represented in Basketball, Football, Orchestra, Band, Glee Clubs, and Dramatic Club. The Junior boys were crowned champions of the inter-class tournament for the second straight year. In the semi-finals, we defeated the Seniors, 17-14, and in the finals we defeated the hard-fighting Freshmen, 48-11. The Junior girls were defeated by the Seniors in a hard-fought game. The Juniors wish to thank the Faculty for all the courtesies extended to the class of 1931-1932. —JOHN TURPEN, ’33.

The first lap of our voyage through dear old V. H. S. came when we were Freshmen. We were like most of the other Freshman classes at first, but under the supervision of our faculty advisor, Miss Murphy, we soon grew to be a very studious class. We elected the following class officers for the year: President, June Falknor; Secretary, Mar- jorie Harn; Treasurer, Mac Greer; Reporter, John Turpen. At Christmas time, the class hold a party in the gymnasium. A number of games were played. Everyone declared the party a great success. The class was very loyal to the school in participating in many of the various activities. In the fall of 1930, the class of “thirty-three started the second lap of its journey as Sophomores. We were a smaller, but a more determined group of students. With Miss Swartz as our faculty advisor, we soon set to work to accomplish the great feat of obtaining a High School Education. We found ourselves surrounded by many difficulties, but
