LUCIA CON KLING SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY One Way to succeed is to set a high standard and to conform to that standard at all costs. This is the idea of the Sophomore Class of 1933- 34. This class started out with the worthy ambition of being the best class ever to graduate from V. H. S. Although two more years must elapse before the final outcome is known, the class has to its credit, ac- complishments enough to justify the belief that their goal will be reach- ed. One requirement of the best class is scholarship which presupposes the ability to think and study with a purpose. It is a worthy student who has achieved this ability by the time he has reached his Sophomore year. That the class of 1933-4 has acquired this technique is proved, by their scholastic record, which has been made possible by the achieve- ments of Steven Grillot and Carl Jones, together wtih the full co-oper- ation of the entire class. Our class is well represented in the Glee Clubs, Band, and Orches- tra. We have quite a few talented pupils and wish to bring them to light in the future. We Sophomores are taking part in practically all school activities, especially athletics. The Football Team was well represented by many of the robust boys, while Basketball beckoned only a few. Meanwhile the girls of the class hold the majority on the Girls' Team. The class sponsored a Christmas party for the entire Junior and Senior High Schoos, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. We even went so far as to have a Santa Claus. fThanks to Raymond Fisherj Last, but not least, the class has learned to be friendly and optim- istic. The class knows that the way to have friends is to be one. It has also discovered that optimism is a habit and that cheerfulness pays. All people, not excepting High School students, have their trials. But things generally turn out well if one only believes they will. Therefore it is well to be optimistic. . Watch the studious, athletic, sociable, friendly, and optimistic Sophomore Class of 1933-34. ., -Lucia Conkling, '36.

MARGIE PEUQIGNOT FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 1933, fifty-one timid freshmen embarked upon what appeared to them a fearful and perilous journey through High School. Of cou1'se we were known by such names as Greenies and Fresh- ies . The new rooms, new faces, and new subjects were all very con- fusing. We were generally made the laughing stock of the school. But the old proverb is, The one who laughs last, laughs best . So we en- deavored to do our best, and under the guidance of Mr. Williams, our faculty adviser, we progressed rapidly. During the course of the year, three of our members were lost, and none have as yet filled these vacancies. We have in our class many star athletes whom we believe in the coming years will bring glory and fame to dear old V. H. S. Of the freshmen, there were six boys out for football, five boys and twelve girls out for basketball. The freshman boys came home with the bacon in both inter-class games with the fighting sophomores. This game show- ed many promising players. We also have many talented members in the Orchestra and Glee Clubs. Our grades as a whole have been highly satisfactory and we en- deavor to increase our knowledge daily under the excellent manage- ment of our teachers. Few have given trouble to the teachers in any way-most of them being too timid. Therefore our conduct is far above the average class. After Christmas vacation, which extended over a period of a week, we came back more determined than ever to show what we could do. Then came the gruelling mid-year exams . We are proud to state that the freshmen came through with fiying colors. The Freshman Class did not present any social parties, but in our three remaining years we hope to accomplish much. We believe that all the members of this class will be proud to look back over their records made this year and will strive to make a higher mark in life. We wish also to thank the Faculty for all the courtesies they have extended to the Freshman Class. We hope the Class of '37 will graduate with high honors and much success. -Margie Pequignot, '37,
