Versailles High School - Portal Yearbook (Versailles, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1939 volume:

Published by the Senior Class of Versailles High School, Versailles, Ohio . . . Volume Seventeen . . . Nineteen hundred thirty-nine. As this school year draws to a close, we are faced with the realization that the brief period which we have spent here in V. H. S. will soon be but a memory in the diary of our lives. Thus we, the Staff of “The Versailles” of ’39, have here compiled a record which we give to you with the sincere hope that it will serve as food for reminiscence in years to come—as a true portrayal of school life as it existed for the year 1938-39. Page Four Progress—the advancement and betterment of existing facilities, that for which humans are ever striving. In these last several years, the enlargement of our Alma Mater into the modern imposing institution which it is today, has brought about a great change, not only in the lives of students, but in community activities as well. Greater opportunities are daily being presented which aptly give meaning to that wise thought, “The old must ever give way to the new.” May this Spirit of Progress ever prevail in the halls of V. H. S. Page Five 0 “3 STAFF of THE VERSAILLES OF 1939 Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editors .... Dorothy Graham Wiliam Martin Roy B.

Some of them have been of the smallest importance, while yet others have been all-inclusive, taking almost the impossible in their startling stride. Page Ten Today we, the composers of this 1939 Versailles of Progress, feel that with the closing of this school year, the FIRST GREAT STEP for a greater V. H. S. has been taken, a step that will doubtless give way to many more of equal importance in the promising future of our school. The first great step has been taken! The way has been paved! On to a stronger and mightier V. H. S.! Page Eleven BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. J. E. Gillette, President Mr. M. E.

By going through an undefeated season, they have rightly merited the title we proudly give them—“Champions”. Perfect balance and team-play was the keystone of this year’s successful team. Each individual was a specialist in his position, but a team-man in courage, sacrifice, and intelligent application. Much praise must be given to Coach James Lymper, who made this year’s eleven, and who, in turn, says: “No one was greater than the team and the team was as great as the individuals wanted it to be.”—A worthy tribute'-to a worthy team.

A meeting is held annually during Commencement Week, and at this time many class friendships are renewed. The Association is carefully checked each year for deaths and marriages, and the list is correct to the best of our knowledge. If there are any changes which have been overlooked, please let us know of them. If anyone desires addresses of his former classmates, he may get them by consulting the 1936 “The Versailles”.

A new songstress, Martha Raye Mangen, makes a great hit at that mart night spot—Hupe’s, singing the very latest blues version of “Heaven Can Wait”. Miss Mangen says that she dedicated this to her deceased husband, who, they say, could not stand the night life. Poor Junior! FLASH!—A recent rumor has it that a certain tall, dark, and handome lad is rather “girl-shy”. This has aroused much discussion among the opposite sex, and many pros and cons have been raised, but, of course, every one to her own experience.
