We went through the “green” stage with flying colors. Our scholastic standing was, or at least we thought so, better than the average. With Freshman enthusiasm we participated in as many outside activities as were offered us. We were well represented in both basketball and football, and many of our members took part in the Glee Club and Dramatic Club. We made our presence known to our upper classmates, if by no other method than the noise we made. Then we reached our first oasis—vacation. Three months later we resumed our journey with vacation just a pleasant memory. This second stage of our journey, our Sophomore year, was marked by success in athletics and other outside activities. During this year a Modern History Club was formed, with Miss Kley as director. A banquet was held in the High School Cafeteria. We now looked with patronizing air on the “freshies” and began to feel that we had made great progress. At the end of the term, we celebrated its closing and the coming vacation with a picnid at Greenville Park. At the beginning of our Junior year, our caravan was reduced to just forty-one, but we went proudly on. This year we selected our class rings, and continued our success in our studies. As the year neared its close, we gave a reception for the Seniors and were well satisfied at its complete success. —Page Fourteen— Now we are finishing the last part of our journey. There has been “plenty” of hard work, but we feel that our efforts have not been fruitless. The pleasures we have had in High School will always be the most pleasant of memories. Our last effort was the publishing of an Annual. We strove to make it the best ever published in V. If. S., and we are certain that our efforts have not been in vain. Now the end of the desert is in sight, for Graduation is not far off, with our number just thirty-nine. We close our trip with a smile, and yet a tear, but not without due gratitude to the teachers who have helped us attain our goal. —LENORE WEBSTER, ’35. —Page Fifteen— SENIORS ALTHOFF, RUBY Glee Club Dramatics BALTES, JOSEPH Dramatics BOOLMAN, EMMA IDA Basketball Glee Club Dramatics BRANDON, CYRIL Glee Club Band Orchestra Dramatics Football Annual Staff BRUNS, PAUL Glee Club Band Orchestra Dramatics BYRD, LOWELL Glee Club Basketball Dramatics COOL, RAY Basketball Football French Club Glee Club Basebell DUNWOODY, CHARLES Glee Club FACKLER, LUCY FISHER, CLYDE Latin Club Dramatics French Club Basketball Football Baseball —Page Sixteen— GERLACH, ESTHER Glee Club Dramatics French Club HOLLINGER, DANIEL Football Glee Club Band Orchestra GOUBEAUX, WINIFRED Glee Club Orchestra Dramatics Annual Staff GRILLOT, ATLEE Football Dramatics French Club HARTLE, NELSON Football Dramatics French Club Glee Club Latin Club Baseball HESS, MERNA Glee Club French Club Dramatics HUBER, BONNIE Glee Club Basketball Dramatics Band Orchestra JOHNSTON, CATHERINE Glee Club French Club Dramatics JOHNSTON, CLARIBEL Glee Club French Club Annual Staff Basketball Dramatics KIMMEL, VELMA Basketball Dramatics French Club Annual Staff —Page Seventeen— LONG, ELAINE Glee Club Dramatics French Club Home Economics Club Basketball Latin Club MARTIN, GLADYS Dramatics Glee Club French Club Band Orchestra PEPIOT, EVELYN Glee Club Dramatics Basketball PEQUIGNOT, JAMES Football Basketball Glee Club Band Orchestra Dramatics French Club Baseball RAHM, BEULAH Glee Club French Club Dramatics REESER, GERALDINE French Club Dramatics REESER, PAUL Basketball Baseball Dramatics RHOADES, EUGENE Glee Club Dramatics Basketball French Club SCHAFER, HERBERT SCHILLING, LEWIS —Page Eighteen— STOVER, JOYCE Football French Club Dramatics Glee Club Latin Club VANKEY, HARR1ETTE Glee Club Orchestra Dramatics Annual Staff French Club Latin Club WARD, JUNE Basketball Glee Club Dramatics Home Economics Club French Club Latin Club WASSON, FAIRY Basketball Glee Club French Club Dramatics WEBSTER, LENORE Glee Club Annual Staff Dramatics Basketball Latin Club French Club WILLIAMS, EDWARD Basketball Glee Club French Club Annual Staff YOUNG, NOLAN Football Basketball Glee Club Dramatics French Club Baseball Latin Club Annual Staff Senior, not shown— GOUBEAUX, MAZENA —Page Nineteen— V.

Class CLASS MOTTO—“Service, Not Serve Us” CLASS COLORS—Rose and Gold CLASS FLOWER—Gardenia —Page Twenty-five— SENIOR CLASS POEM In the Senior Class of Thirty-five There are thirty-eight students to describe. Each one has a personality new, Which I shall tell in rhyme to you. Ruby has made many sad persons gay— For a smile and a friendly word is her way. Joseph’s ambition is some day to be Somebody’s private secretary. When history reveals the name of Emma Ida, “Her smile made even the sun seem brighter”. To Cyril we give this attribute, A saxophone he sure can toot. In theatricals Paul Bruns is our ideal leading man; He also contributes to our famed High School Band. A good fellow can’t slip by in a crowd, That’s why we’d like to shout “Lowell” aloud. Ray likes sports both indoors and out, And he can’t find a thing to be bashful about. Charles is as peppy as he can be, With a serious touch in the right degree. Lucy can not be surpassed anywhere: Her laughter quickly disperses all care. When you speak of a heart that is pure gold inside, Of consideration for others, of course you mean Clyde. Esther wins many friends day by day, For a soft-spoken word is as welcome as May. Mazena is our best at the typewriter keys. Besides that a knack of putting you at your ease. Atlee is modest, sometimes even shy, In honors he will always rank high. With sky-blue eyes and golden curls, Winifred is one of our ambitious girls. A habit called blushing which creates alarm, Will go down in history as Nelson’s great charm. i Bonnie has friends everywhere that she goes, And a nice disposition, as everyone knows. Eyes in which lurk a mysterious shine, And a dimple thrown in, make Merna divine. At football Daniel is quite a star, He has to his credit a four-year bar. —Page Twenty-six— Catherine is little, humorous and gay, And she’s always ready for work or for play. For frankness, Claribel is one of the few Who can say what she thinks without making you blue. Charming and gracious to all who are near, Elaine as a friend is a prize very dear. Now Gladys can take you from laughter to tears; For her silvery voice we’ll give her three cheers. Just happy-go-lucky, free from all care, Jimmy won’t worry; he’ll always get there. To be a success, a class must have art, And Evelyn is here to fulfill her part. Beulah has brown eyes that shine very bright, And a keen sense of humor that is a delight. Being a good sport and pleasing everyone, Is only a sample of what Eugene has done. We all want friends, both old and new, We guarantee Geraldine to be always true. Paul isn’t high-hat; he can’t be that way; He’s just one of the fellows you meet every day. Lewis’ unique character few people knew Until his joke column brought hi mto view. Joyce has a dignity that sets him apart; In life this virtue will aid him to start. Herbert believes in an old saying true, “It isn’t your words, but the deeds that you do.” When blending of harmony upon the air floats, Harriette’s capable hands furnish musical notes. Like the fantastic creatures of story-book time, Our Fairy has grace and kindness combined. We issued an ad for one dimpled cheek, June filled out the order in a manner unique. Contagious laughter and soft golden hair, Are the centers of interest when Lenore is there. Edward is quite a studious boy— Yet he finds time for pleasure and joy. In counting the handsome boys of our class, Nolan is one who is hard to surpass. To these words of honor and fame Yours truly gladly signs her name. —VELMA KIMMEL. —Page Twenty-seven— SPECIAL MENTION SCHOLASTIC STANDING FOR THE YEAR: SENIORS FRESHMEN 1. Lenore Webster 1.

Carl Jones Vice-President......................Verner Martin Secretary ..................................Alice Magato Treasurer...................................James Swisher Reporter ..........................Lucia Conkling In September of the year 1932, we, a large group of wide-eyed, frightened sailors, merged from a small vessel, called the “Grades”, and ascended the gang-plank of the large ship, “1936”. Realizing what a long voyage we had ahead of us, one that required courage and might, we bravely found our cabins—preparing for what might come, in the four ports of our journey. During the first quarter of our trip we encountered many storms, but by the cooperation and loyalty of all passengers aboard, our ship reached our first port—“Freshman City”. From “Freshman City” the crew pulled up anchors—and off we sailed to “Sophomore City”. On this trip we faced many more hardships than before, and sometimes we found it hard to keep smiling. Some of our crew became discouraged and deserted us, yet “on” sailed the Ship “1936”. Two long years have elapsed, and now we’ve anchored our “ship” in “Junior City”. The third year is almost gone. With pangs of regret we shall soon sail on, because only one more port is to be made on this journey—“Senior City”. We, the crew of the “1936” of V. H. S., shall emerge from this “ship” into a still larger one, the “World”, proud and full-fledged sailors. On we shall sail . . to other and larger ports . . yet we will know our happiest four years were spent on the “1936”.

H. S. to start upon the second lap of their four years’ voyage of learning. Of course, as Sophomores, we were more confident than we had entered in ’33 as Freshmen, for we were familiar with the teachers and the school routine. In fact, we felt quite superior to the bewildered Freshmen, who hopelessly floundered about, hunting for their rooms and wondering what strange world they were in. On September the sixteenth we held a class meeting under the supervision of Miss Calderwood, our class adviser, and elected the following officers: President Bob Turpen Vice-President Dwight Mendenhall Secretary Margie Pequignot Treasurer Marcella Hay Reporter Alice Reck Six boys represented the Sophomore class on the gridiron. They were: Delmar Hupe, Ralph Lange, Dwight Mendenhall, Fritz Plock, Charles Pheanis, and Wayne Young. They did their best to increase the football fame of V. H. S., and we feel that they contributed much to the success of the football season. Next, basketball occupied the interest of Sophomore athletes. Five girls and eleven boys of our class reported for practice in November, and each game found them fighting valiantly to bring their teams to victory. Many talented Sophomores became members of the Glee Clubs and used their golden voices to charm the ears of the audience that attended the Minstrel conducted by Miss Fischer. Classmates possessing husky lungs and the patience to practice, enrolled in the High School Band. Their peppy music at both basketball and football games enlivened the rooters and encouraged the teams. The Orchestra, another important musical organization, attracted quite a few Sophomores. This group of musicianstlabored diligently to make the P. T. A. and other programs more pleasant. A number of Sophomore girls continued their membership in the Home Economics Club, while still others, linguistically inclined, renewed their efforts to make the Latin Club more renowned. Intermingled with these activities, school work was not forgotten, and at the end of the first semester the following students had attained an average of B-plus or above : Esther Bookwalter, Dorothy Bornhorst, Dortha Ilgen, Naomi Kimmel, Harry McGreevy, Margie Pequignot, Omar Rhoades, Luemma Rismiller, Neva Schilling, Treva Schilling, and Helen Simon. Although this is only our second year of high school life, we hope that our class as a unit will maintain its interest in scholarship as well as the various activities of the school. Under the guidance of the High School faculty and by conscientious study on our part, we hope to realize our highest ambition during the next two years, and we hope to end our high school life at graduation feeling that we have added something to the fame and glory of Vei-sailles High School. —MARGIE PEQUIGNOT, ’37. —Page Thirty-two— FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY In September, 1934, forty-seven bashful, timid and shaking Fresh-ies entered V. H. S., to begin a four years’ cruise through high school. At first, we had much difficulty in finding our various class rooms, but, after a few days, we became accustomed to our every day routine, and had no difficulty at all in locating our classes. Of course, our blunders were always laughed at by the upper classmen, but we have tried to do our best and prove that first impression is not always the right one. Our first class action was taken a few weeks after school started, when we organized, electing the following people as officers: President ......................Margaret Ward Vice-President ...................John Houser Secretary and Reporter................Betty Blue We are sorry to think that the class has been weakened by the departure of three members. Some have moved out of the district, and others have quit, being of age. We had a position on the football team during the season, which was “held down” by John Houser. John played a good game, and we hope to see him do things for the school in the oncoming years. Marcell Ecabert, Ralph Cashman, Irvin Booher, and Ralph Hollinger also went out for football. The Freshman boys have spirit, and thus we believe a great deal in them. For the court we produced eight players: Lucille Rismiller, Yula Rismiller, Reva Richhart, and Mary Hollinger. These girls are tall, and we believe they will help make the team better. The four boys were: Irvin Booher, Bob Stover, John Kelch, and Paul Cool. They have done their best to make the team a success. When it came time to elect a cheer leader, we saw the Freshman class get the job. Nellie Williams was elected for both basketball and football games. This was the first instance for a long time that a Freshman girl had the honor. Our class had many pupils go out for the Glee Clubs. Some of the students took up music, which is just another form of the use of the voice. Betty Blue, Reva Richhart and Clarence Gerling have shone remarkably well in their studies. We wish them the best of luck. We have three more years of school. During these years we hope to make Versailles famous. When we graduate and go out into life, we hope to do well, so that the school can always remember the Class of ’38. —BETTY BLUE, ’38. —Page Thirty-three— FRESHMEN Apple, Elsie Kelch, John Paul Baltes, Joseph Kelch, Marcella Baltes, Paul Lamey, Edith Barga, John Mitchell, Vernon Barton.

These were the eighteen smiling Seventh Graders. Together with twenty-one other boys and girls, which represented the Eighth Grade, they composed the Versailles Junior High School. The Seventh Grade, with Mr. Williams as home room teacher, elected the following officers: President Billy Dill Vice-President .Helen Miller Secretary-Treasurer Marlene Burns Reporter Janet Blue The Eighth Grade, in election of officers, chose the following: President Franklin Hupe Vice-President Walba Grewe Secretary-Treasurer Helen Younker Reporter Dotty Graham We may very well have pride in our Junior High students. They took active part in athletics. Many of them show a promising future in the way of musical talent. All who had instruments took part in the Junior Orchestra, and some were capable enough to take part in the Band. Their scholastic standing, also is far from being low. In the course of the year, the Seventh Grade received Lewis Wagaman into its group. The Eighth Grade was sorry to lose one pupil, Lowell Foster, but was fortunate in gaining another, Helen Anthony. These students, who in the future will help compose our High School, show a promising school spirit and other qualities which make a High School. — DOTTY GRAHAM, ’39. PROGRAMS The Elementary Grades, including the Seventh Grade girls, under the direction of Miss Alma Fischer, presented an operetta in the High School auditorium, April 26th. It was entitled “The Land of Dreams Come True”. We were pleased to have a very large crowd. The Seventh and Eighth Grades each presented three Chapel programs this year, before the High School. All of the programs seemed to be enjoyed by the school. —WALBA GREWE, ’39. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Junior High Girls participated in a few basketball games during the season, and did very well. The first game was played against North Star, a very hard game was played and the Versailles girls’ efforts were rewarded with a victory—24-4. On February 1, they again opposed North Star. This time they piayed as hard as ever, and were again rewarded with a victory. The score was the same as in the first game. The girls “joined up”, as you might say, with the Freshman girls for the Class Tournament. A hard game was fought, but the Sophomores were better, as they defeated us, 16-7. There was news of a Junior High Rasketball Tournament at Gettysburg. Did we go? Of course we went. Mr. Nesbit drew a “bye” —Page Thirty-six— for us, so we didn’t have to play two games. We played Franklin and they must have been better than Versailles, because the final score was 24-14 in their favor. Thus ended the 1935 Basketball Season for the Versailles Junior High Girls. —HELEN YOUNKER, ’39. BOYS’ BASKETBALL The Junior High Boys also took an active part in basketball during the 1934-35 season. The first game was a preliminary played against the Freshmen. They were “too good” for the Junior High boys, as they were victors. The second game of the season was also a preliminary game, played against the Freshmen. They again proved too good for Junior High —and you know what that means. By this time the Junior High boys were pretty discouraged, but were game enough to oppose the Freshmen again, and this time the table turned, leaving the Freshmen to mourn over losing this game. The boys also heard of the Junior High Tournament, and entered. They only had to play against Franklin, but were badly defeated, by a score of 28-7. This was the end of a none too successful basketball season for our boys. —WILLIAM RECK, ’39.

Do you take garbage in that wagon?” Charles G—“Sure; get in !” Mr. Williams—“Harold, please make a sentence using the word ‘triangle’.” Harold M.—“The next time you go fishing, try angle worms.” Helen Y.—“Is Doyle Bigham in the room yet?” Miss Falknor—“I haven’t heard any noise.” Mr. Nesbit—“I shall take a week off some day and teach you something.” Miss Smith—“Have you finished your outside reading yet?” Keith L.—“No, madam ; it is too cold.” Marlene B.—“I have lost a lot of weight this summer.” Treva S.—“I don’t see it.” Marlene B.—“Course you don’t; I lost it.” Mr. Rhoades—“What is a mixed number?” Jack R.—“A number with a hole in front of it.” Bob S.—“I went to see my girl last night, but I didn’t go in.” John B.—“How come?” Bob S.—“A car parked in front said on it, ‘Willys Knight’.” Miss Calderwood—“What is the opposite of ‘woe’?” Janice H.—“Giddap!” Dottie G.—“Oh, Tommy, you’re so cruel ?

He uttered a cry that disturbed the night, A call for his gang to appear in sight, And soon they quickly joined their pal. For all were eager to have a good howl. Out of the group he selected three To give him aid in the “singing bee”, And quickly they filled the air with their hymn, Howling loudly with vigor and vim. Now Joe Brown’s daughter had a beau called “Max”, Who continually tooted a second-hand sax, And drove old Joe into such great fits That he threatened to blow Max into bits. Rudely dragged from his land of dreams When he heard these unearthly screams, He arose from his bed and grabbed his gun, Determined to riddle his future son. “You down there!” he yelled, “You sap!” Get away from here or I’ll muss your map !” But the yowling quartette plugged right along, Not knowing poor Max was blaged for their song. Joe “saw red” when the noise didn’t stop. So he fired his gun. Kerplop ! Keerplop! A horrified howl ’rose in mid-air, And scattered cat fur flew everywhere. —ESTHER MAE BOOKWALTER. SENIORS’ FAREWELL Now our high school days are over And our minds from lessons free, But we’ll not forget them ever And we’ll often long to be Back there in that old shool house Where memories ring in the halls And remind us of the happy hours That we spent within those walls. But are our school days gone forever As we leave them in the past? No, we’ll have these happy memories As long as our life will last. But now it’s farewell to V. H. S., To teachers, comrades, pals, And may you never forget us Though we be separated by miles. —BEULAH RAHM. —Page Thirty-eight— MAW’S PIE I’m feeling sort of sad today, I’m feeling plenty sore. I’m saying to myself today: “I’ll steal maw’s pie no more.” My maw can make the swellest pie, The kind I sure adore; But she’s kind of angry when I try To slip a whole one out the door. The pumpkin pie had just been done, Oh boy! how big and round! I seized the largest in both hands, It slipped off to the ground! Just then maw came toward the room, I beat a quick retreat, But our dog came bounding in, And tangled with my feet. I tripped, I fell, I bumped my head, I knocked three teeth straight down, I saw a flock of stars float by Just as I hit the ground. I woke next morning here in bed, A-feeling plenty sore; I told my folks, and all concerned: “I’ll steal maw’s pie no more.” —HARRY McGREEVEY. OUR QUIET STUDY HALL “Our study hall is quiet,” I heard somebody say. I thought so too, until I stopped And listened hard one day. Pencils scratch upon the desks, Papers rustle down the row. Students, dictionary-minded, Click their heels as forth they go. Books slam as lessons are prepared, Pencil sharpeners render groans, A note is passed by willing hands, Occasionally absent-minded students There’s a faint wail of saxophones. Forget a book—a frequent sin— They bang the door as they go out And bang the door as they come in. Whispering, coughing, sneezing, staring, Smothered chuckles from girls and boys. Until one thinks, “If this is quiet, I’d hate to study with some noise.” —VELMA KIMMEL. —Page Thirty-nine— Page Forty— w ctimties —Page Forty-one— FOOTBALL When the whistle blew last fall, we saw eleven boys in the Orange and Black line up to do their duty for the school. The first battle-cry was raised on the Rockford field. As the gun was fired, twenty-two boys with nerves of steel rushed forward with high hopes for a win. Versailles won the game, and we believe the best team won. The following week our boys played a team which they always like to beat. Under the lights at Greenville our brilliant players showed some of the fine points of the game. During the game, Pequignot heaved some beautiful passes that were completed for good gains. Greenville was better on gains through the line, but we appeared superior in the air. The next remarkable game was the free game at Bradford. The game was full of bad plays and fumbles. With all these things, the game was still good, because “We held Bradford scoreless”. The Celina game was interesting from the beginning to the end. At the half we were leading by a one-point margin. The game ended with Celina ahead, but still the boys had shown good spirit and their ability to “take it”. The trip to Mechanicsburg was good for our boys, because it showed what kind of football other schools played, and it also gave the boys the experience of traveling. The game with West Jefferson saw the battered but ever faithful boys of Versailles do well. Time after time we made touchdowns, and piled up a large score. , The last game and a team which has always been hard for us to beat, was Tipp City. Although Tipp City won, we did some remarkable playing during the game. Graduation claims the following lettermen: Young, Hartle, Stover, Pequignot, Brandon, Fisher, Ilollinger and Cool, but with a strong nucleus of this year’s team remaining, the prospects for a winning team next year looks mighty good. —RAY COOL, ’35. —Page Forty-two— First Row, left to right—Cyril Brandon, Clyde Fischer, Dwight Mendenhall, Luther Bollinger, Nelson Hartle, James Pequignot, Daniel Bollinger. 2nd Row—Jacob Etter, Verner Martin, Ray Cool, Marcell Ecabert, Paul Younker, Nolan Young, John Houser. 3rd Row—Mr. Rhoades, George Sherry, Irvin Booher, Ralph Lange, Paul Baltes, James Young, Wayne Young, Charles Pheanis. 4th Row—Joyce Stover, Delmar Hupe, Coach Jerome Fambrough.

H. S. was not so fortunate as was the Detroit Tiger. Our stars were hindered this season with various mishaps, instead of a few sore arms as those of the Detroit Tiger. The boys tried their best to make this season a success, as was shown by their fighting spirit and attitude on the floor. This year the Tiger team showed the fundamental spirit of basketball—cooperation. The first serious mishap came to the Tiger in the fall, when Nolan Young was hit by an automobile. Nolan, wanting to play football, being a l-egular two years, played too soon after his mishap—and the result was that he didn’t play either football or basketball Nevertheless, the Tiger had decided to accomplish things. The second week of practice took another player and weakened the Tiger more. This time it was James Swisher, who had to have an operation for appendicitis. With this trouble, the Tiger still marched on, to two consecutive victories. But, alas! The Tiger ran a thorn in his foot, and again was thrown on his back. This time, Fritz Ploch, a gallant young player, was stopped by leakage of the heart. The Tiger started on his way again, when the jinx fell to Turpen. Although the Tiger was badly bruised and his cry lessened, he put up some real fights to try to become King of the Country. Mr. Fam-brough is to be congratulated for his success with a torn and bruised Orange and Black Tiger. May the boys who represent the Tigers in the future play as hard as we have, so the howl of the TigeP shall spread far and wide and be feared as a lion of the jungle. May the oncoming teams remember the boys who have fought valiantly to make this year’s “Tiger howl” feared. —RAY COOL, ’35. —Page Forty-four— First Row, left to right—Dwight Mendenhall, Ray Cool, Lowell Byrd, James Pequignot, Galen Townsend, Robert Turpen. 2nd Row—Mr. Rhoades, Arthur Marker, Clyde Fisher, Glenn Weyant, John Kelch, Ralph Lange, Dale Wetzel, Coach Jerome P’ambrough. 3rd Row—Paul Cool, Charles Pheanis, Irvin Booher, Robert Stover, Paul Younker. 4th Row—Omar Rhoades, Keith Stamm, Delmar Hupe, Raymond Fisher, Paul Kamman.

We won four games, tied two, and lost four. We journeyed to Hollansburg for our first game of the season. Two of the first team players did not get to enter the game. Captain Wasson had a crippled knee from an automobile accident, and Johnston had a broken finger. The final score was 24 to 16, in Hollansburg’s favor. The following game we played our ancient rival, Gettysburg. For four quarters, the game was bitterly contested between two great ball teams. It ended in a deadlock with the score fourteen all. The Franklin game was one of the most interesting games of the season. Good, clean sportsmanship prevailed all through the game, and again the teams were well matched, tying the score, 14 to 14, at the end of the regulation game. The coaches decided to play off the tie, and final score was 15 for Franklin and 16 for Versailles. Each team won thei additional points by foul shots. The Alumni game was forfeited, because the Alumni could not get enough of their players together to make a team. A close game was played at Arcanum, but, with a lot of tough luck, the team was again defeated, 12 to 9. Versailles girls received their hardest defeat of the season from Jackson, 21 to 11. The girls “carried home the bacon” from Gettysburg, with a score of 17 to 13. This is the first time in history that the Versailles girls have ever defeated Gettysburg on their own floor. Ansonia appeared to have improved quite a lot on their new floor. They took our team by surprise and tied the score, 15 to 15. The return game with Franklin was a success for the Versailles girls. We defeated Franklin, 17 to 12. Unfortunately we drew Monroe, the 1934 championship team of the county, for our first game in the tournament. The Monroe girls were just “too big” for Versailles, and we lost to them, 23 to 12. The first twelve girls, chosen by our Coach, Miss Calderwood. to receive letters, were: Captain Fairy Wasson, June Ward, Velma Kim-mel, Claribel Johnston, Marjorie Pequignot, Emma Ida Boolman, Dorothy Kelch, Eileen Althoff, Christine Graves, Lucia Conkling, Rosemary Vogel and Peggy Dabe. Other members of the squad were: Yula Rismiller, Lucille Ris-miller, Reva Richhart, Betty Bigham, and Mary Hollinger. —CLARIBEL JOHNSTON, ’35. —Page Forty-six— Left Column—Elaine Long, Lucille Rismiller, Eileen Althoff, Rosemary Vogel, Yula Rismiller, Reva Richhart, Betty Bigham, Margie Pequignot, Chi'istine Graves, Fairy Wasson.

About fifty boys and girls were present. Under the excellent supervision of Mr. Hopkins, the Band became very popular. It played for our football and basketball games and made the games “peppier” than ever before. On April 12th, 1935, it presented a Band Concert on Fountain Square. Many new pupils are now taking lessons from Mr. Hopkins, promising another good Band for the coming year. The Orchestra, especially, has had a most successful year. With the “everlasting” patience and help of Mr. Hopkins, the Orchestra presented various programs at Arcanum and Franklin, as well as playing for our own P. T. A. and similar programs in the community. The purchase of two new instruments, the Bass Viol and Tuba, has added greatly toward the advancement of music in our school. Both the Band and Orchestra were well represented at the Music Festival held in Memorial Hall, Greenville, Ohio, on March 29, 1935. With the idea that “Music was the spice of life”, Versailles set out to reach its topmost place in success this year. It reached its goal very well, and we hope that it keeps the good work up in the yeai’s to come. —GLADYS MARTIN, ’25. —Page Forty-eight— BOYS’ GLEE CLUB 1st Row, left to right—Ralph Johnston, Omar Rhoades, Carl Jones, James Swisher, Keith Stamm, Eugene Rhoades, Paul Peters. 2nd Row—Ray Cool, Nolan Young, Lowell Byrd, Cyril Brandon, Luther Hollinger, Robert Turpen, Daniel Hollinger, Paul Younker. 3rd Row—Norval Goudy, Bernard Bruns, Charles Dumvoody, Nelson Hartle, James Pequignot, Charles Pheanis, Walter Stover, Miss Alma Fischer. 4th Row—Paul Bruns, Arthur Marker, Ray Fisher, Paul Kamman, Joyce Stover.

Under the capable supervision of the instructor, Miss Falknor, the Club has gained a vast amount of knowledge. On April 23, near the close of the term, the Club put on a Style Show for the public. Here they displayed many garments made during the term. On April 26, the Grade School gave an Operetta for which the Home Economics Club made costumes for the entire cast. In such ways the Club hopes to create a greater interest in the work. —ROBERTA PEPIOT, ’38. —Page Fifty-one— MASTIGIAE 1st Row, left to right—Alice Reck, Margie Pequignot, Dorothy Born-horst, Margaret Gunekle, Reva Richhart, Odette Frantz, Yula Ris-miller, Betty Blue. 2nd Row—Miss Calderwood, Mary Hollinger, Esther Bookwalter, Kathi-yn Brandt, Helen Simon, Dortha llgen, Armella Hickey, Kathryn Hollinger, Nellie Williams, Lucille Itismiller. 3rd Row—Keith Stamm, Robert Rahm, John Barga, Charles Pheanis, Bob Turpen, Jimmie Falknor, Robert Stover. 4th Row—Walter Stover, John Houser, Arthur Marker, Clyde Fisher, Paul Kamman, Charles Moore, Marcell Ecabert.

Reporter On September 28, 1934, the members of the first and second year Latin classes and a few ex-members met to reorganize the Mastigiae. At this meeting the members elected officers to direct the activities of the club during the year; selected the first Friday of every month to hold a business meeting; and chose a motto, “Veni, Vidi, Vici”. During the year several parties were given; among these probably the most amusing one was the initiation of the Freshmen. At this time they were made familiar with the dark secrets and mysteries of the organization. At Christmas time there was a pot-luck supper and an exchange of gifts. Among the guests of the evening were Superintendent and Mrs. Nesbit, who seemed to enjoy the Christmas tree and jollv Santa Claus (John Houser) as much as the Mastigiae themselves. In March the Freshman Latin class paid their respects to the other members of the club by giving them a delicious supper and an evening of fun. The club was first organized last year with a worthy purpose_to create an added interest in the Latin language, and under the guidance of our Latin teacher, Miss Calderwood, we believe that our club has succeeded. —MARGARET GUNCKLE, ’37. —Page Fifty-two— TRENTE NEUF FRANCAIS 1st Row, left to right—Norine Fahnestock, Harriette Vankey, Gladys Martin, Merna Hess, Fairy Wasson, June Ward, Claribel Johnston, Ruth Bennett, Eileen Althoff. 2nd Row—Miss Calderwood, Steven Grillot, Lucy Fackler, Geraldine Reeser, Donna Zeller, Edna Mae Pearson, Lenore Webster, Elaine Long, Beulah Rahm, Velma Kimmel, Lucia Conkling, Alice Maga-to, Dorothy Kelch, Esther Gerlach. 3rd Row—Norval Goudy, James Young, George Sherry, Carl Jones, Ruth Boyer, Rosemary Vogel, Christine Graves, Catherine Johnston, Ruth Hardman, James Falknor, Nolan Young, Atlee Grillot, Eugene Rhoades. 4th Row—Ray Cool, Charles Dunwoody, Paul Buell, Clyde Fisher, Joyce Stover, Edward Williams, Paul Younker, James Pequignot, Nelson Ilartle, Charles Moore, Paul Kamman.

It served its purpose very well, and this year, when Miss Calderwood, our directress, called a meeting to reorganize, the membership of the club was increased to fortysix members. The following officers were elected : President ................Edward Williams Vice-President ...................Rosemary Vogel Secretary...........................Steven Grillot Treasurer ......................Elaine Long Reporter ................Norine Fahnestock These officers, together with the other members of the club and our efficient leader, Miss Calderwood, have done much to make this year a huge success. —NORINE FAHNESTOCK, ’36. —Page Fifty-three— DRAMATIC CLUB 1st Row, left to right—Ruby Althoff, Bonnie Huber, Fairy Wasson, June Ward, Lucia Conkling, Harriette Vankey, Gladys Martin.

The following officers were elected : President ......................Joyce Stover Vice-President ...............Eugene Rhoades Secretary-Treasurer.............Ruby Althoff Production Manager ..............Paul Kamman The Dramatic Club was unusually large this year, and for that reason several members were assigned to each part in the casting of our first production, “Oh, Professor!” A week before the date of appearance, the first cast was chosen by a vote of the club members. Under the careful supervision of Miss Huldah Ann Kley, the play proved to be a great success. The further plans for dramatic study in the club were somewhat handicapped by not having a regular time set aside for meetings, but all the members learned many helpful things, not to speak of the enjoyment they derived from being members of the club. —RUBY ALTHOFF, ’35. —Page Fifty-four— THE VERSAILLES HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni Association was organized in 1884.

H. S. . . . rejoicing in their success, chronicling their achievements . . . sorrowing with those on whom misfortune or affliction lays its hand. Not only has the Policy chronicled happenings concerning the graduates of Versailles High; it has worked for them and with them; it has recorded the success of those who achieved it right here at home, as well as that of those who found it elsewhere. Congratulations, Class of 1935, V. H. S. May the other years ahead all record progress and achievement by each of you graduates; your success will bring pride to your town and to your constant friend, The Policy.
