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—

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY President............................ 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”. LUCIA CONKLING, ’36. —Page Twenty-nine—
