 uphomnrr tilings SitetDrij In September, 1935, forty-one boys and girls registered for the second year of high school. 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. Page Twenty-seven

JFrrsliman Class Inafrmj On the opening day of the school year, there assembled a group of sixty-five bright-eyed, greatly-embarrassed boys and girls. 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
