Now we are full-fledged upper classmen. Only the Seniors to bow and scrape to, and even they recognize us—slightly, to be sure—as their associates and contemporaries. We continued our scholastic subject and experienced for the first time a bit of night life and kleig lights when we presented our terrifying, hair-raising ‘Hobgoblin House”. We also gave our upper classmates a farewell banquet in the form of the Junior-Senior Reception. Time marches on! Forty-three young men and women assemble for the last time and proceed to put on that cloak of maturity and dignified reserve which only a Senior can wear. We pursued our studies with renewed vigor, preparing ourselves to meet the problems and difficulties of the world we are about to enter. As our final social contribution, we staged the Senior Class Play, “For Pete’s Sake”. As we review the four years we have spent in Versailles High, we can not but smile at the happy memories we take with us, and it is not without a tear of regret that we vacate the places that we have held for four memorable years. —Margie Pequignot, ’37.

S. and gave their solemn oath to devote themselves whole-heartedly to the noble cause of education. After being duly sworn in, these infant devotees of knowledge were gradually accepted as necessary factors—socially as well as scholastically—in the school life at Versailles High. Ah! that first year! But the majority survived and the following year forty-one returned as Sophomores, feeling very superior and experienced —as all second-year people do. Alas! We were all too rudely tumbled from our lofty perch of self-satisfaction, for we were informed by the Juniors and Seniors that we were still very much “small-fry”. Notwithstanding, w e blithely picked ourselves up and by our presence in athletics, school-work and social activities, showed our astute upper classmen that, though we might be considered “small-fry”, we were of first-class caliber.
