THE VERSAILLES Page Twenty -nine FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President ..................James Pequignot Vice-President .............Lenore Webster Secretary ....................Fairy Wasson Treasurer ....................Bonnie Huber Freshman Class History In the year beginning 1931, forty-seven shaking Freshies mounted the steps of V. H. S., to begin a most uncertain journey through High School toward Graduation. Since that first memorable day, we have progressed rapidly in studies, athletics, and various other activities. Everything was different and rather strange after what we had been accustomed to in the grades, but, after a few days, we became familiar with the new and interesting surroundings. During that first week, most of us managed to get in trouble with everyone, especially the Faculty. Being Freshmen, most of our mistakes were noticed by the older pupils, the Sophomores in particular, and they possibly because they had just passed through the “green” stage. Our Freshman year has been full of such blunders, but we have tried to prove that the first impression is not always the true one. A few weeks after school had begun, we were allowed to organize and we selected as officers: President, James Pequignot; Vice-Presi- dent, Lenore Webster; Secretary, Fairy Wasson; Treasurer, Bonnie Huber. During the year we have lost three members and have gained one. We were well represented in both Basketball and Football, having seven out for Football and seven out for Basketball, including both boys

Page Thirty THE VERSAILLES and girls. In the Class Tournaments, our boys won both games with the Sophomore boys, and lost both games to the Junior boys. Our girls won one of the two games which they played with the Sophomore girls, and lost the one game that they played with the Seniors. We were also well represented in Dramatic and Glee Club work. Through the efforts of our teachers, we have carried on the work which we began in the grades, and we have also begun some new subjects, such as Latin, Algebra, General Science, Home Economics, and Citizenship. Our grades ha e been as high, if not higher than the average class. As for conduct, we know we are far above normal. We have not seen much of the social life in our first year, but we hope to in the three remaining years. During the course of the year, we have shown that we are not as green as some of the Freshman class es which have in the past entered V. H. S. As we look ahead to our three remaining years in High School, it seems an eternity to some; and yet to the majority those three years seem far too short. We are determined to get as much out of it as we can. Although we have not made our presence felt to any great extent, we sincerely hope that we have made V. H. S. a slight degree better foe our having been here. In conclusion, we hope that the Class of ’35 will continue through to Graduation with much success. —LENORE WEBSTER, ’35.
