Page Twenty-three Humor Class IHstory One balmy September morning, three years ago, a crowd of fifty-one children gathered for the first time in the classroom. These shy, half-frightened boys and girls have since devloped into some of the most promising Juniors ever known in V. H. S. As Freshmen we were “green as all other classes are at that stage. Jolly Mr. Williams was our class adviser. However, the year’s work of hard study, enlivened by a party at Greenville Park, passed swiftly, and before long we changed our school name to “The Sophomores’’. The shyness and greenness disappeared, and we took another step in life. Miss Calderwood kept our class, of forty-one, out of mischief. We are now Juniors. We at last realize that we are looked upon as upper classmen. Early in the fall we met and elected the following officers: Margie Pequignot .. President Robert Turpen ..............Vice-President Harrigan Hiatt .... Secretary and Treasurer Margaret Gunckle ..................Student Senate Arthur Marker ....................Student Senate In the classroom we are among the best students in High School. We are recognized as possessing many talents, which we are striving to develop and increase. In the Orchestra and in the Glee Club our musical ability is displayed, while the Athletics would be damaged considerably were the Juniors absent. Yet all of our time has not been spent in labor, because Mr. Rhoades would not hear of it. We gave a mystery play in November to make money for the Junior and Senior Reception. When we graduate and go out into life we hope to do well so that the school can always remember the Class of ’37. NEVA SCHILLING, ’37.

With the awe of the Freshman year entirely gone, we went right to work, determined to get everything possible out of school. Under the supervision of Miss Calderwood, a class meeting was called the first week of school, and the following officers were elected: President ............................John Houser Vice-President ................Betty Blue Secretary..... .................John Barga Treasurer.........................Clarence Gerling At the time of the election of officers, two students of the Sophomore Class were chosen as members of the Student Senate. They were Betty Blue and John Gasson. The Sophomores had a prominent part in the school activities: Marcell Ecabert, Robert Stover, John Houser, Paul Baltes, Marion Barton, and Beryl Ward were members of the football squad. Those taking part in basketball were Paul Baltes, John Paul Kelch, Paul Cool, Beryl Ward, Reva Richhart, Betty Hole, Yula Rismiller, Lucille Rismiller, and Marjorie Overla. Several talented members of the class joined the Glee Clubs, Band and Orchestra; others were active in the Home Economics Club, Latin Club and the F. F. A. The Sophomores have not devoted their time entirely to athletics, musical organizations, and other activities, but they have done their part scholastically. Several Sophomores have averages of B-plus or A. try our best to make the Class of ’38 one worth remembering. Just two more laps remain of our High School career, and we shall try to make the Class of ’38 one worth remembering. —JOHN BARGA, ’38. SOPHOMORES Here we are—the coming is great, We’re the Seniors of 1938. The road’s been steep and mighty rough, But we’re hearty timber, and are we tough! We’re ready to tackle the things at hand; We are right on deck to a man. Sometimes we take time off to sleep and play, But we’re not so bad—what do you say? We hope two more years see us through, And then we’ll bid you all adieu. We’ll scatter out and take our places, And show how we can win the races. —JOHN HOUSER, ’38.

These were the members who were to compose the Freshman Class for the school year of 1935-36. This was the largest number of freshmen ever to have been enrolled in V. H. S. At first there was much confusion. We hopelessly floundered around, greatly bewildered, and our numerous mistakes furnished all upper-classmen with much amusement. Eventually we grew familiar with the customs and regulations of the school, and progressed rapidly in all our undertakings. In electing the officers who were to lead us through the year, we chose the following: President.. Richard Magato Vice-President Dottie Graham Secretary and Treasurer.. .Virginia Pequignot Student Senate Helen Younker Tom Kamman In the course of the year, the Freshmen presented a Chapel Program, which displayed much talent. The athletic season opened, and at the first football game many streamers and banners were seen, which told the spectators that it was “Freshman Day”. Many students participated in football and basketball. We succeeded in producing two members who were included in the first teams of football and girls’ basketball. Band, Orchestra, Choral Clubs, and other school organizations had representatives from the Freshman Class. In spite of these activities, school work was not neglected, and we proved to have a high scholastic standing for the year. With these achievements as Freshmen, we believe that in our remaining high school days we can still accomplish more. Our aim is to make the Class of ’39 be well remembered in future years. —DOTTIE GRAHAM, ’39. Page Twenty-nine Humor Sfuilj The Seventh Grade consists of thirteen members and the Eighth Grade of twenty-one. These pupils are very industrious and have made very promising progress. The students of both classes are ambitious. The members of the Eighth Grade have gathered much knowledge. There will be many promising students to enter the Freshman Class next year. The class officers elected this year were as follows: President .......... Vice-President ..... Student Senate .... Secretary-Treasurer Charles Ridenour Loren Urquhart .....Betty Price Jimmy Hopkins .Lewis Wagaman —BETTY PRICE, ’40. Page Thirty Page Thirty-one ifltftij auit ■S’ixtb (S rail es On the opening day of school, forty-nine pupils entered the fifth and sixth grades. Thirty-two of this number were boys. Everyone seemed eager to get down to work at once. The lessons were carefully prepared each day. During the school year, the pupils lost two of their classmates, Thelma and Lester Anthony, but gained a new one, Eileen Keuterman. Some students came to Versailles from the country schools. Those entering the fifth and sixth grades were: Mae Bookwalter, Lester Cain, Kenneth Keuterman and Eileen Keuterman. At the Community Fair, the fifth and sixth grades gave a program on “Fire Prevention”. In the operetta, “When Betsy Ross Made Old Glory”, Ray Reeser took the part of George Washington and Peggy Kin-dell the part of Martha Washington; other members of the class also participated in the program. Next year the fortunate members of the sixth grade will no longer be in the grades, but in Junior High School. Under the guidance of Miss Manier, the teacher, the students of the fifth and sixth grades have had many good times, which broke the monotony of every-day school life. Page Thirty-two (Ltjtrft aitit JflourtJj (grmte© There were forty-six pupils in Miss Wilson’s room when school began in September. During the year six pupils left this school; they were as follows: Elvera Mote, Robert Greenwood, Joy Cain, Joyce Cain, Delbert Simon, and Lloyd Anthony. The class missed these children and readily welcomed four new friends: Lila Lee Gump, Chalmer Hall, Claude Hall and Dorothy Jean Harris. During the year, the pupils of the third and fourth grades aided the school in many programs. At the Community Fair, the entire group, in complete costume presented several Indian songs and dances. At Christmas time these two grades joined the others in an assembly program. Mrs. Charles Douglas told the pupils an interesting story at that time. The children exchanged gifts which had been placed on and around the Christmas tree. Both grades were represented in the Operetta, “When Betsy Ross Made Old Glory”. Three members of our class are taking instrumental music and will soon be members of the Band and Orchestra. We are trying to learn good study and work habits so that when we reach high school we can work for a place on the honor roll. Page Thirty-three fg g§ In itUummam ass (frmttfo i rl)n rr of tffP ernnft C6raftr §£■: im mx Page Thirty-four Jfirat anil (iraftea On a bright September morning, forty boys and girls entered the First and Second Grades. Fifteen little boys and girls started their first day of school. It took several weeks for the little ones to adapt themselves to a new routine. This included making new friends, learning games and songs, and wanting to learn. As time went on, George Knight left the first grade class and is now attending school in Dayton. In January, Jay Harris started to school in the first grade. In March the second grade gained in number by adding Leroy Nisonger and Emeline Teegarden to their group. In April, Junior Gump joined the second grade, making at the end of the year fifteen in the first grade and twenty-seven in the second grade. In October at the school fair, the class presented a football skit. For Christmas the children met in the auditorium for a Christmas program. Each grade took part in a small exercise. In the School Operetta, “When Betsy Ross Made Old Glory”, the boys of the first and second grades made up the Flag Boys Chorus, and the girls made up the minuet and “I See You” Chorus. The sudden death of Orvind Scherer of the second grade caused sorrow to both his classmates and his teacher. The children are learning daily how to become good citizens in both work and play.

In league games, 300 points were scored to their opponents’ 132. Under the excellent coaching of Miss Calderwood, the girls went into every game with a fighting spirit and a determination to win. The fine cooperation and team-work among the players, and their spirit of fair play had much to do with their success. The team selected Dorothy Kelch as their captain, and she fulfilled their highest expectations as a leader and guard on the team. Margie Pequignot, the assistant captain, did her part to make the season successful by her excellent guarding. Christine Graves, at guard, was spectacular for her speed and dependability. Eileen Althoff led the forwards at scoring during the entire season; she scored a total of 148 points. Treva Schilling, as forward, had an accurate eye for the basket, and was always there to receive passes. Dotty Graham, the freshman member of the team showed great ability at scoring, and promises unusual achievements in basketball during the next three years of her high school career. “A team is no stronger than its substitutes!” Betty Bigham, Norine Fahnestock, Yula Rismiller, Betty Hole, Neva Schilling, and Peggy Dabe, when needed, rose to the occasion and played like veterans. Dorothy Kelch, Eileen Althoff, Christine Graves, and Norine Fahnestock have played their last game for V. H. S. Alice Magoto, senior and Page Thirty-eight student manager of the team, proved herself a capable attendant and added to the spirit of cooperation. By defeating New Madison and Arcanum in the first two rounds of the Darke County Tournament, the team went into the finals with Monroe. By defeating them, they were awarded the championship trophy. Dorothy Kelch and Eileen Althoff were chosen on the honorary All-County team. Letters were presented to Dorothy Kelch, Eileen Althoff, Margie Pequignot, Christine Graves, Treva Schilling, Dotty Graham, Norine Fahnestock, and Betty Bigham. Numerals were presented to Betty Hole, Neva Schilling, Yula Rismiller, and Peggy Dabe. Individual championship basketballs were presented by the Coach to the members of the first team and to Norine Fahnestock, a faithful substitute.

The boys had only a few nights of practice together, and this was easily seen, as the boys were beaten after a hard-fought game. The team next traveled to Gettysburg. Here another hard struggle ensued, but this time we were successful, winning in an over-time period. Our cagers next entertained Hollansburg. This was a nip and tuck game and we won after two over-time periods. The “Tigers” next journeyed to the County Seat. Greenville won this game, but not until our boys had played a good hard game. Franklin was tough, but Versailles was tougher. Gettysburg was again met this season. They were out for revenge, but were again defeated by the Orange and Black. “Lady Luck” seemed to go against our boys, and in the next five games they suffered setbacks at the hands of Bradford, Arcanum, Monroe, Franklin, and Ansonia. The “Tigers” finally came out of the slump, and defeated Houston in the final game of the season. —JIM SWISHER, ’36. Page Forty IFiuttlraU Versailles opened the season with a nip and tuck game with Rockford. The boys played true to form with the spirit of old V. H. S. in them. When the final whistle blew, the score stood V. H. S. 0, R. H. S. 0. After a week of strenuous practice, the team came up against West Alexandria. The game was played in a sea of mud. Our boys finally made a marker, which was enough to win. V. H. S. 6, West Alex 0. The following week our warriors went to Piqua, determined to stretch the winning streak to two. They didn’t. The old rival, Bradford—Versailles met them on her home field. The boys put up a good fight, but Bradford’s passing was too much for us, and we had to ring another up on the losing side. The final game was played at Arcanum. This was the last game for several of the boys, and they were very eager to win. The boys fought a good game before going down to defeat. Score—V. H. S. 6, A. H. S. 18. —JIM SWISHER, ’36. Page Forty-one H. Now, there are schools of fame, Of every name, full in the limelight of today; But there is one full of steam that’s sure supreme, And for all others leads the way. Now let us drink a toast, from coast to coast, Unto this school of wondrous tales; In full due honor let the air ring with “Versailles!” Chorus: Oh, V. H. S., we love you, yes, we love you, Orange and Black; We’ll fight for you with all our might on football field or track. We’ll tremble with devotion as we pledge allegiance true, As one we’ll stand by you. The going may be hard, but, then, it matters not to us, For in you we trust. We're cheerful through both thick and thin and full of pep, Oh! Yes! We’re for the V. H. S.! Now, there’s the Freshman bunch, they’re full of punch, They’re for the Orange and Black; And the Sophomore herd is sure a bird, Nor spirit do they lack; And, too, the Junior crowd is pretty proud, But they’re always full of fight— With the Seniors, too, both bright and true, You see that we’re all right. Chorus: Page Forty-two Hctmtiqs Page Forty-three The Student Senate is a new organization in our school. It is composed of two representatives from each of the four upper classes, one representatives each from the seventh and eighth grades, and two faculty members. At the beginning of the schood year, the following members were chosen by their classes: Seniors ......................Mary Brown James Swisher Juniors ................. Margaret Gunckle Arthur Marker Sophomores ................... Betty Blue John Gasson Freshmen .................. Helen Younker Tommie Kamman Junior High ................. Betty Price Jimmie Hopkins Faculty Members....................... Mr. Hoerner Mr. Rhoades The purpose of the Student Senate is to train students to live in a democracy, to train them for worthy citizenship, to encourage the development of co-operation, self-control, self-reliance, initiative, and a sense of personal and group responsibility. The principal activity during the school year has been arranging chapel programs and various entertainments for the high school students. Meetings are held at various intervals, and the members report all essential discussions to their respective classes. The members of the classes present their ideas to their representatives, who, in turn, bring them before the Student Senate for discussion. Let us hope that this newly created organization will continue to hold an important place in the activities of the school. —MARY BROWN, ’36. Page Forty-four Stmtti iErmtnmtra The Home Economics Club was organized three years ago. The purpose of this club is to gain a clearer knowledge of Home Economics, as well as to create an interest in the work. It has served well its purpose. At the beginning of the year, Miss Falknor, our directress, called a meeting to re-organize the club. The following officers were elected: President...................... Roberta Pepiot Vice-President Mary Bess Fiebiger Secretary and Treasurer_____Marlene Schilling On October 18 and 19, the Home Economics girls had a lunch stand at the school fair, and with the profit bought a pinking shears to aid the girls in sewing. On February 28, the grade school gave an operetta for which the Home Economics girls assisted in making the costumes. On April 21, the club put on a style show for the public. Here they displayed many garments made during the year with carefully chosen accessories to match. The success of the Home Economics was due to the united efforts of the students and their directress, Miss Falknor. Page Forty-five jfutnrr iFarntpra of Ammra The Future Farmers of America is the national organization of students enrolled in Vocational Agriculture. Our local charter was granted by the Ohio Association of Future Farmers on October 28, 1935. The Vocational Agriculture Department was organized in the summer of 1935. Vocational Agriculture in the United States was made possible by the passage of the Smith-Hughes Act by Congress in 1917, providing a sum of $3,100,000 to be spent annually in Agricultural Educational Work. Since the passage of this, other acts have been passed increasing the funds for the work. There are approximately two hundred and twenty-six departments in the State of Ohio at the present time. The officers of our organization are: President, George Sherry; Vice-president, Galen Townsend; Treasurer, Wayne Young; Secretary, Dale Wetzel; Reporter, Omar Rhoades. We have a 100 per cent membership with a total of thirty-eight. The boys are very active and interested. None of them will forget the initiation when the chapter was organized. The list of activities of our department, as shown below, will indicate the nature of the work conducted by the Vocational Department. Page Forty-six I. Our Class Room Work 1.

SPUING ON THE FARM Along about the middle of March, Or about the twenty-first day, You notice a great big change Coming in a great big way. The birds are beginning to return, The grass is getting green; You don’t want to stay in the house, Or even read a magazine. You want to go out walking And be with Nature and the birds; But to tell how the trees get green— You just don’t know the words. The farmers rise every morning, Early with the calling of the lark, And go about their plowing, From sun-up until dark. —GEORGE SHERRY, ’36. Page Forty-seven fHaattgiap Just three years ago, in the fall of 1933, a group of Latin-minded rascals met and formed a Latin Club and named it “Mastigiae”. Each year the club has advanced. The thirty-one members of the 1936 club, who have made many efforts to continue its success, think it the best ever. Shortly after school opened in the fall of 1935, the Latin students met and elected the following officers: President ......................Betty Blue Vice-president .............Marcel Ecabert Secretary ......................John Barga Treasurer ....Reva Richhart They decided to hold their regular meetings every first and third Wednesday of the month. Soon after the first regular club meeting, a party was given by the Sophomores and the new members were initiated. After the Sophomores had enjoyed their fun of watching the new members parade around in their reverse style of dress, eat in a backward manner, and go through the paddling machine, they granted their guests the honored privilege of washing the dishes. The next big event of the “Mastigiae” was their annual Christmas party. It was a pot-luck affair and everybody brought a funny gift to exchange. After several more regular meetings of the Latin Club, the timid Freshmen felt familiar enough with their Sophomore club members to attempt to entertain them. “Red Riding Hood” was dramatized in Latin —which was followed by several musical numbers. In March the club gave an Amateur Program. The program consisted of: Violin Duet Josephine Wenning and Frances Barga Accordian Solo Virginia Pequignot Piano Duet. Reva Richhart and Yula Rismiller Selections—Played by an orchestra made up of members of the club. This entertainment ended the social activities of the year. The “Mastigiae” continued their regular meetings for the remainder of the school term. The spirit of cooperation and good fellowship that exists between the Freshman and Sophomore members has had much to do with the club’s successful year. —VIRGINIA PEQUIGNOT, ’39. Page Forty-eight (Lrputi'-Kiutf JPranrats In September, 1932, the first French Club was organized by the teacher of foreign languages, Miss Calderwood. In this first club were thirty-nine Juniors and Seniors who were students in the two French classes. The club was named “Trente-neuf Francais”. The purpose of the club was to create additional interest in the study of French. Each year since 1932 the French Club has been reorganized. On September 5, 1935, forty-three members of the French classes formed the fourth French Club. The following students were chosen to serve as the club’s officers during the year: President .............Norine Fahnestock Vice-President Christine Graves Secretaryy and Reporter...Lucia Conkling Treasurer .............Margaret Gunckle After the election of officers, a short business meeting was held. It was decided that the French Club would meet on every second Wednesday of the month. An entertainment committee was selected to arrange programs for the meetings. When the Community Fair was held in the Versailles School Building, the French Club presented a program in the form of an Amateur Hour. Famous celebrities were impersonated, including Major Bowes, Laurel and Hardy, and others. The club enjoyed a pot-luck supper on February 3, 1936. After the supper was served, the members and guests attended the movie production, “A Tale of Two Cities”, at the Opera House. Page Forty-nine Hramatir dub The Dramatic Club, under the supervision of Miss Kley, was organized at the beginning of the school year. At the first meeting, in September, the following officers were elected for the year: President......................Paul Younker Vice-President .........................Neva Schilling Secretary and Treasurer..... Alice Magato Reporter ..............................Lucia Conkling The club began its work by presenting the play, “He Was a Gay Senorita”. The leading role was played by Paul Younker, the supporting cast including: Lucia Conkling, Norine Fahnestock, Dorothy Kelch, Alice Magato, Esther Mae Bookwalter, Margaret Gunckle, Charles Moore, Ray Fisher, Omar Rhoades, Russel Rhoades, and Harold Stuck. The play was presented in a delightful manner, and was considered a huge success. Several members of the club participated in the “Prince of Peace” declaration contests, which were held in various churches of the community. The first contest was held in the Christian Church; the winners were, Mary Brown, first, Lucia Conkling, second. The second contest was held at the Methodist Church; Peggy Dabe won first place, and Dorothy Kelch, second place. The next contest took place in the Lutheran Church; the winners here were Norine Fahnestock and Donna Zeller. The last contest was held at the school building. Margaret Gunckle won first place, and Eileen AlthofT, second. Those winning first place participated in the sectional contests, held at Gettysburg and Wooding-ton. Norine Fahnestock won first prize at Gettysburg, and was then eligible for entrance in the contest held at Dayton, where she made a fine showing. The students have enjoyed being in the club; they have received instruction as well as entertainment. The Seniors of this year are expecting much of the Seniors of next year, and judging from their performances this past year, we will not be disappointed. —RUTH BENNETT, ’36.

Page Fifty-one rratrtf aitft fterk The “Scratch and Peck Club” was first organized in September, 1935, by the members of the Shorthand and Typing classes, with Miss Smith as their adviser. The object for the forming of this club was to further an interest in commercial work. The constitution for this organization, which was drawn up by Naomi Shiverdecker, Rita Schieltz, and Ruth Schieltz, stated that the meetings would be held on the third Friday of each month, that the officers were to be elected at the first meeting held in September, and that they were to serve for only one year. The officers elected for the year 1935-1936 were as follows: President ..................Bessie Goubeaux Vice-President ................Leona Masner Secretary ................Margery Pequignot Treasurer ................Lillian Fiebiger Social Chairman .............Reva Schilling The first social entertainment of the year was a Hallowe’en party, at which the members spent a pleasant evening in playing games and eating. Next in line was the Christmas party, at which a delightful program was presented and gifts were exchanged by members of the club. Just before adjournment, the committee surprised the members with a treat in the form of popcorn. Our next gathering was for a pot-luck supper at the schoolhouse, on February 24th, after which the entire company enjoyed the screen play, “Miss Pacific Fleet”, at the local Theatre. Another party was held in April, and then, as a fitting climax to a successful school year and in tribute to the members who are leaving our ranks, the Junior division gave a farewell party in the form of an evening hike and outdoor supper. —ARMELLA HICKEY, ’37.

It consists of many pupils, ranging from the fifth grade up Its purpose is to educate the pupils, in the line of music, for the future ahead of them. The Junior Orchestra has played at several P. T. A. meetings during the year. Many new pupils are now taking lessons from Mr. Hopkins, promising other good Junior Orchestras, Bands, and Senior Orchestras in the coming years. Under the excellent supervision of Mr. Hopkins, the Junior Orchestra is becoming larger and more forceful. It is gradually reaching its goal through many hours of loyal practice and the hard work of our faithful director, Mr. Hopkins. We hope that the Junior Orchestra will keep up its good work in the years to come. —TREVA STARR. ’40. —WALBA GREWE, ’39. Page Fifty-five i ntior (Drdu tra The Senior High School Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Hopkins, has had an eventful year; it has been one of the most beneficial arganizations in our school for the past year. The Orchestra rendered its services at the School Fair, and also played at several P. T. A. programs. During the winter a Tri-Lyceum Course was planned, in which we exchanged programs with Franklin and Arcanum. The Orchestra participated in the County Festival held in Greenville Memorial Hall on Friday, March 27. Arrangements have been made to take the entire Orchestra to Miami University on the second and third of May. The Orchestra now consists of twenty-eight players, as several new members have been added. Two periods of the school week are given for Orchestra practice each week. Those in the Orchestra receive grades for their work and one-fourth credit for the year. Much of the success of the Orchestra is due to the efforts of Mr. Hopkins, who aroused the interest of many beginners. In a few years these students will be members of the Orchestra. —DONNA ZELLER, ’36. Page Fifty-six Imth The Versailles High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Hopkins, has been very active the past year. During the summer months it played for the Versailles Picnic at Celina, Ohio, and also for the North Star Picnic at North Star, Ohio. The Band had several concerts on Fountain Square during the summer, and also played several times at the Greenville Park. The fifteenth of August, we had a Band Festival in order to secure the money for band uniforms recently purchased. The Versailles Band played for the Darke County Fair on Tuesday and Thursday of Fair Week. It also participated in the Music Festival at Greenville, Ohio, March 27. The Band played for the Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the Phi Delts and the Archery Club. Mr. Hopkins has worked very hard to make our Versailles High School Band a great success. Many new pupils are taking lessons from him, promising other good Bands for many years to come. —DOROTHY KELCH, ’36. Page Fifty-seven - rlinnl Calendar SEPTEMBER— “Ready for school?” — “Have a nice vacation?” — “I sure hate to start in again!” All old and familiar quotations on the first day of school. School opened with a big enrollment—358. Superintendent Hoerner was well pleased with the smoothness with which the school work was getting-under way. Clubs organized—class officers elected, together with the Student Senate—football practice started, with 35 boys on the squad. The first game, with Rockford, was a scoreless tie. Brand new Mascot given to the eleven by Mr. and Mrs. Hoerner. OCTOBER— Three cheers for the month of falling leaves and nippy nights! Football game with West Alex, first victory—6-0. A Freshman from Alex was heard to say: “We lost because we had the muddiest end of the field.” “He Was a Gay Senorita” was given by the Dramatic Club on the night of the eleventh. ’Twas a huge success. V. H. S. lost to Piqua Catholic because of the cold weather. Freshman basketball practice was begun under the tutelage of Miss Calderwood. Some of the students were presented with a big set-back after the first grade cards made their appearance, as was testified by the sad looks and despondent thoughts. NOVEMBER— Ah! Pumpkin pie and turkey are on their way. This brings on a short vacation. The Junior Class play, “Hobgoblin House”, was given on the fifteenth. Full of thrills and mystery. Basketball season opened with Ansonia. Girls easily defeated their opponents by a score of 36-6. Boys, however, lost by two points, 25-23. Mary Brown, Margaret Gunckle, Peggy Dabe, and Norine Fahnestock were winners in the Prince of Peace Declamation Contest. Second basketball game with Gettysburg on the 22nd proved to be victorious for both girls and boys. Page Fifty-eight DECEMBER— Everybody froze. vacation is here. Winter in full swing, so think the students. Basketball looms up into the foreground very noticeably. Girls continue to plow under their opponents. Defeat Hollansburg, 26-10. Boys have difficulty, but come out ahead, 25-23. “Look pretty, please.” Seniors had class pictures taken. The girls rushed around with their “complexion kits”, hunting mirrors, to beautify themselves. Norine Fahnestock won first in the finals of the Declamation Contest. Girls defeated Franklin, 24-9; boys win, 27-25. Students’ faces wreathed in smiles—Christmas Ah, now to catch up on my sleep! JANUARY— This is the time to make resolutions, but before the last, we usually find it is much easier to break them. Happy birthday, Coming back from vacation more tired than ever, the students had plenty to worry about and a few nights’ sleep was lost. Why? Semester finals! They looked like bees, flitting here and there, getting last-minute information. “Oh, gee, wonder if I’ll flunk?” A student was heard to say at this time: “Oh, please don’t bump me, Miss Kley, or I’ll spill some History!” V. H. S. girls top the county—five victories and no defeats. But, no! Arcanum would not let that be. They defeated us, 26-14. ’Twas hard to take. “What are you going to wear? I haven’t a thing!” What’s this? The Roosevelt Ball, of course. Mr. President! FEBRUARY— Basketball season came to an end at last, and the big Tournament faced us. The girls won nine out of ten games during the season. First game of the tournament, with New Madison, was won by a solitary point, 16-15. Some excitement! Boys win first game, with Gettysburg, 31-17. Second game a loss for the boys, but girls again defeat opponents, by one point. V. H. S. 11, Arcanum 10. Then, we took the Tournament from Monroe, and were presented with a beautiful trophy. Mighty proud of “these gals”. Hail to the “Champs”! Page Fifty-nine MARCH— Someone is always sure to be disappointed, no matter what happens. March has ever been pictured as a roaring lion, and picture of blowing hats and blustery days are always used to illustrate. Thus it was, even some snow fell. This was a month of banquets and parties given in honor of the winning team. Coach Calderwood presented the first six with medals; she, in turn, was presented with a gold basketball. Practice for the Senior Class play was begun. Miss Kley, faculty directress, selected for the Seniors a play entitled “Sally Ann Smith”. “Goodness!” someone exclaims. “What’s all the racket?” Upon investigation, it was found to be the Glee Clubs preparing to make their debut at Greenville—the annual Darke County Music Festival, on the 27th. APRIL— The weather always warms up in April—if that matters any. And it’s always supposed to rain, whether it does or not. April this year was similar to many preceding Aprils. On the seventeenth, the Seniors presented their class play, “Sally Ann Smith”. This college comedy was very well given. Prof. Hancock and his shy worshipper, Miss Carstairs, were so romantic. Mother Winslow and Clem Barstow balanced the see-saw of romance. The Seniors are looking forward to graduation anxiously; girls are worrying about clothes, etc., and Heaven only knows what the boys are worrying about!!! MAY— May is the time of May apples. They are poison and will kill you if you eat too many, and you won’t live to see another May. This is the Seniors’ big month, for in it the usual routine of graduation never fails to make its appearance. Every year the members of the Senior Class are subjected to the same cares and obligations as every Senior before them. Announcements, the Baccalaureate Service on the 10th; Commencement, the 15th, all fall in order until the much cherished “sheep-skin” is placed in the outstretched hands of the anxious and waiting-student. It is then that the welfare of old V. H. S. is put in the trust of the next year’s graduating class.
