JAUNTY JUNIORS JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President.............Verl Keller Vice-President .... John Gillette Secy.-Treas........Betty Jane Hole Student Senate .... Shirley Martino Howard Shumaker After a seemingly short but pleasant vacation, the members of the Junior Class assembled in the line of march of “Back to School” and began their third term at V. H. S. in September. Happily our friendships were renewed with fellow students and teachers. Being resolved to give our best in the moulding of this year’s link in our chain of accomplishments, everyone earnestly started to work. It was a privilege to present our class play, “Superstitious Sadie”. The entire cast and director were highly complimented upon their grand success and fine display of talent. One of our early problems was the selection of our class rings. We can be justly proud of our choice. Our first social event was the Junior Jamboree held in the auditorium, which was quite welcome after weeks of serious study. As time passed,we discovered ourselves honorably represented in every activity of the school. Under the splendid directions of our intructors, our class gradually neared its goal. Another link added. Just a final touch needed—this the Junior-Senior Reception supplied. With tears of joy in our eyes, we saw the Senior Class of 1940 march away—down the “Road of Life”. Our farewell words were those of gratitude and best wishes to the graduates, the Faculty, and all who made possible this splendid school year. Be the task great or be it small, Something fought for and won. Something begun and gloriously done, Do it well, or not at all. MARY HEINS, ’41

SAUCY SOPOMORE SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President .........Robert Barga Vice-President.....Merlin Shank Secy.-Treas........Donna Littman Student Senate ....Peggy Kindell Harold Marchal Listen, my friends, and you shall hear, Of the Sophomores’ past successful year. The opening day of the school term of ’39 and ’40 brought back sixty-six boys and girls who had been christened, the year before, the “green Freshmen”. But since we were Sophomores, we had the undeniable right to “look down on the ‘green’ and ‘lowly Freshies’.” We, however, gazed in wonder at the more superior Juniors and mighty Seniors. After we had “settled down”, as the Faculty so states it, we held our annual election. Under the supervision of our efficient class adviser, Mr. Fambrough, we elected the following officers: President ......................Robert Barga Vice-President .................Merlin Shank Secretary ......................Donna Littman Student Senate .................Peggy Kindell Harold Marshall Many activities were offered to the students. The Sophomores were well represented in these. Among these were: Latin Club, F. H. A., F. F. A., Band, Orchestra, Choral Clubs, football, basketball, and baseball. During the year the girls competed in an inter-class basketball tournament and were defeated by the ‘rip-roaring’ Juniors. Many Sophomore girls were chosen to sing with the special girls chorus, which participated in the District Music Contest at Wittenberg College, March 20. Peggy Kindell, one of our Sophomore lasses, was chosen with Betty Jane Hole to lead the students in cheers for the school year. Both handled the position well and came up to expectations of those who supported them. And now that we have climbed another step on our ladder to higher ideals, we sincerely hope that our future steps will be as successful as our past ones. NANCY GEPHART, ’42
