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.

Page Thirty-two THE VERSAILLES JUNIOR HIGH JOKES Norine—“Tell me, would you still love me if I were ugly?” Bobby G. (absent-mindedly)—“My dear, you know I do.” Paul K.—“Girls are much prettier than men.” Lula S.—“Naturally.” Paul K.—“No, artificially.” Mr. Brown (to student)—“Paul, what is a synonym?” Paul B.—“A synonym is a word you use when you can’t think of the other.” Mr. Martin (in Arithmetic), after explaining a very hard problem, turned to his class and calmly said : “Now watch the board very close- ly and I will run through it again.” Paul K.—“Edna, you should see the altar in our church,” Edna P. (excitedly)—“Lead me to it!” Teacher (in Geography)—“Donna, what is a volcano?” Donna Z.—“ Well, (thoughtfully) 1 don’t know, unless it is a mountain with the stomach-ache.” When the bright little Falknor boy was taken by his mother to choose a pair of knickerbockers, his choice fell on a pair to which a card was attached, stating: “Tnese can’t be beaten.” Intelligent boy! Teacher—“You bad boy. I wish I were your father for about twenty-four hours.” Charles M.—“Well, Teacher, i’ll speak to mother about it, and maybe I can fix it up for you.” John M.— ‘I guess you’ve been out with worse looking fellows than ‘me’, haven’t you?” Bessie G.—“Please be still, I heard you the first time. I was just trying to think.” Minister (closing Sunday sermon)—“And, Brothers, don’t motor around with other men’s wives!” Man in congregation jumps up and snaps his fingers. Same man (whom we recognize as Jimmy Falknor)—“Preacher, I’m sorry I maac that commotion in church, but that sentence of yours just reminded me where I left my umbrella last night.”
