Cote ) [ and meel our sc ned Published by The Senior Class of Versailles High School Versailles, Ohio 1942 Volume 20 As Seniors it is our task to give you a book of your daily activities while in school. With the world in turmoil, it is difficult to separate our activities from our Nation’s problems; but we have tried, and hope sincerely that we have succeeded. We have turned to the publication of “THE VERSAILLES” with these thoughts in mind. We hope that this yearbook will rekindle pleasant memories of school life for you—our defenders. —two— WE MEET THE FACULTY Page 5 WE GREET DIGNIFIED SENIORS . . .

H. S. Graduates who are now serving in our Armed Forces. Soldier, Sailor, Marine, and Pilot, we, the Senior Class of 1942, salute you. IHhm' iKniuirg ICmgrra BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. J. B.

Some of our teachers have come many miles, while others were born and reared in or near Versailles. MR. FAMBROUGH, the insect authority, comes from ’way down Scuth in sunny Tennessee. Perhaps that explains his sunny disposition. Sometimes, after Spring arrives, Mr. Fambrough might mysteriously disappear, but the writer would know where to find him. down by some nearby stream— fishing. Mr. Fambrough is a very amiable person because he doesn’t have the word peeve” in his vocabulary. MISS SMITH, the whizz master of all commercial subjects, is a Buckeye, having been born at Yellow Springs, Ohio. She is a person who likes to be fair to all colleges and suport all of them, having attended seven different ones. During the summer Miss Smith is a regular camera “fiend”. The ex-presion, “All right”, is familiar to her students as a characteristic. Miss Smith is probably the most amiable teacher among us since she has no particular peeves. MRS. BOLI, our petite language teacher, first saw the light of day at Gettysburg, Ohio. She graduated from Greenville High and Miami University. She is always jolly and has a perpetual smile. If by chance you heard her say Oh Minnie”, she would merely be giving vent with her favorite expression. Please, if you want to be a friend of Mrs. Boli, do not wear a purple dress because that is her pet peeve. MR. WILLIAMS, the coffee-drinking professor—oh, yes, he does teach mathematics, comes from the county-seat, Greenville, Ohio. Ohio Northern University and Miami University received Mr. Williams, and also turned him out with his degrees. As everyone knows. Mr Williams grows things as a hobby. Last Spring, he had the first corn. Mr. Williams’ peeve is unique; it comes around once a year—THE ANNUAL MISS SHARR, the cafeteria captain and the commander of the culinary corps, comes from our capital city, Columbus. She graduated from North High and from Ohio State University. Her favorite hobbies are sewing and cooking, but if the potatoes burn, she might be heard to exclaim “Oh, foot!’’ Girls, if you want to make an impression on Miss Sharr, please refrain from cracking your gum and wearing sloppy clothes, because these are her pet peeves. MR. HOPKINS, the music maestro, came here from the Wolverine State, Michigan, to you “dopes who didn’t know. He is quite a jolly fellow. His laugh is characteristic of him. Mi . Hcpkins, disrespectfully called Hoppy” by some of the student body, enjoys nothing better than sitting in a hot and steamy ball park, especially Crosley Field, during the season. When fishing comes around, he is just like a little boy— all enthusiastic about his catch(?). Mr. Hopkins’ pet peeves are providing ways of transportation for the Band to get to various places. Gardening is also one of Mr. Hopkins' avocations. MISS JOHNSON, our spcrts-loving physical education teacher, hails from the big city of Cleveland She was born and reared there. Miss Johnson also graduated from Miami. She is very active. Amcng her pet hobbies are swimming, riding horseback, and reading Her favorite expressions are “quiet down” and ‘ Don’t you understand English?” which she uses daily during study hall. MR. PERRY, our authority cn speech, saw the “light of day” in the Smoky City”, Pittsburgh. In case you have a play that needs directing, Mr. Perry is your man for the job. He graduated from Otterbein College. Mr. Famcrough and Mr. Perry should be fast friends, because they both enjoy fishing. (Notice we said fishing, not catching.) Mr. Perry’s pet peeves are people who are tardy on the night he has detention. MR. FIELDS, the history wizard, was born in Versailles and graduated from Versailles High School. He is truly a home town boy who made good. Ohio Northern University and Miami are Mr. Fields’ “alma maters”. In case Mr. Gasson isn’t to be found and you have a pressing chicken problem, consult Mr Fields, because fancy poultry is his hobby. MISS EILERT, our most versatile teacher, hails from the Hoosier State. She graduated from Capital University. If you have any painting, costumes to be made, or any handiwork to be done, see Miss Eilert. Run down heels and crooked stocking seams are taboo around Miss Eilert. MR. KLINE, the agriculture giant, iomes from the pecny county, Van Wert. He was probably influenced by the pretty ocsies when he decided to make “growing :hings” his life work. Mr. Kline is so interested in farming that his avocation is also farming. Pete peeves? None. He also is an amiable fellow. MR ZELLER, the English dictionary for the 7th and 8th Grades, hails from the fair city of Versailles. He is a graduate of Ohio Northern. My, that college certainly is popular around here! These teachers must get together during or before interviews, because Mr. Zeller’s hobby is gardening also. It’s a cinch Versailles won’t starve if food transportation is cut down. (This is strictly off the record”, but—Mr. Zeller's pet peeve is that little lock of hair that keeps falling down on his forehead—imagine that.) MR. RAPP. “Coach” to most of the school, comes to V. H. S. from the coal-mining district, Iron ton, Ohio. Coach Rapp turns out some mighty fine specimens of athletes His foctball, basketball, and baseball players are examples of his worth. Boys, here’s a warning; don’t skip gym classes, because that is Mr. Rapp’s pet peeve. In addition to his interest in all sports, Mr. Rapp is a ham”—no offense, please—that’s just to signify that Mr. Rapp is interested in radio. —ten— eleven— Centura Secy.-Treas......

In the 1939 Annual, you see us as Freshmen. We were in “High School”. Those two words carried the same big thrill for our class as for all previous ones. The 1940 yearbook reveals us as active members of the Sophomore Class. We have become “grown-up”. We are no longer “Frosh”. We have lost all that self-consciousness of the Freshman year. Going on to the 1941 Annual, you see our group as Juniors. With all our vim and vigor, it was an easy task to present the Junior Class Play, “Here Comes Charlie”. In May, we bade farewell to the departing Seniors, with a reception. Now, after four long years, the pictures of our Class appear in THE VERSAILLES, 1942, entitled “We Meet the Dignified Seniors”. The Senior year has been a sparkling success. The class presented its class play, “Tempest and Sunshine”. The yearbook is our last effort. We hope it has been the most successful. —twelve— MARVIN BARGA Marv ROBERT BARGA “Gus” BETTY BEEKMAN “Bee” MAE BOOKWALTER “Bookie” RILEY BRANDON “Brandon” ERMADEAN BROWN “Ermie” JAMES BROWNMILLER “Jimmy” JOHN COFFIELD “Johnny” —thirteen— JACK COHEE “Cohee” DOROTHY DAPORE “Dotty” ANNABEL DAVENPORT “Davy” RUTH DAVIDSON “Ruthie” MARY GEHLE “Mary” NANCY GEPIIART “Geppy” DELORES GRILLIOT • Dory” EDWARD GRILLIOT “Ed” —fourteen DOROTHY GROFF ' Dc tty” REUBEN HECHT •Heck” PAUL HOLE ‘‘Ming: MIRIAM HOLLINGER •Holly” ELLEN HOPPER •Skipper” THOMAS JOHNSTON ‘‘Tommy” JUANITA KELCH “Nita” MARGIE KELCH “Kelchie” —fifteen— PEGGY KINDELL “Peg” DONNA LITTMAN “Don” MARTHA MAGOTEAUX “Marty” JACK MANIER “Manier” HAROLD MARCHAL H.

What can be of such great interest that arings so many rear’ views into predominance? Two Senior sharpshooters are “caught in the act”. The Senior Class president, the organizations editor, and a lanky basketball and football player pause for the “birdie ’. Can't be that “Jipee has seen a cat and wants to chase it? The Senior Class aids the trumpet section of the Band quite a lot, doesn’t it? There's nothing slow about our younger generation; even a lad of five can lead a calf. There’s nothing slow about Versailles. Horseback riding is popular. Notice the pert Freshman lass astride “Old Nelly”. “Snoozy” is getting ready to use his toe on one of his famous punts. Aren’t the “Ag” boys industrious? They seem to be watching. Could they be W. P. A. workers? I wonder if those girls are “skipping”? Oh, excuse me. maybe it was a secret. —twenty-four— —twenty-five— Juniors President ..............James Maher Vice-President ................Harvey Hole Secy.-Treas.......................Jce Graves Student Senate. .Wanda Pittsen'oer Student Senate— Wanda Pittsenbarger James C.

Subler —twenty-six— We presented our Junior Class Play, and selected our ring. (By the way, we are “awfully” proud of our rings.) Our class has many up-and-at-’em students, and we are proud of them. Several of our “he-men” displayed much talent in sports and took their places in football, basketball, and baseball. Others in the class who were musically inclined, enrolled in the various choral clubs, the orchestra, and the band. Also two Junior “laddies” were two of the four chosen as cheer-leaders, and they filled their positions like “veterans”. We’re all for you, Doyle and Jim. Now that our happy Junior year is at an end, we are anxiously waiting to be Seniors. We feel that we will have still another year that we will never want to forget, just as we have cherished memories of our Junior year that will never be forgotten.

Yep, that’s us. From “green Fresh-ie” to grown-up Sophomores in the twinkling of an eye. It’s miraculous but true, how in such a short time we (like many before us) have changed from bewildered, self-conscious Freshmen to bewisdomed, self-confident Sophomores. In September, seventy-five pupils enrolled in the Sophomore class. As the year progressed, we lost four old members, but we welcomed open-heartedly two new members. When we became organized, we selected the following officers: President ...............-...Homer Prakel Vice-President .............Jo Ann Turpen Secretary and Treasurer ...Bonnie Rhoades Student Senate ..............

It’s interesting to note that the upper-classmen do not notice the Sophomores very much; but stop and think a minute—what would they do without us? We have several excellent football and basketball players to our credit, and the majority of the class belongs either to the Latin, F. F. A. or F. H. A. clubs. These organizations we support with our utmost ability. We’re going to keep on with our hard work and, though we may have to give up many things in the next two years, when “1944” arrives, our names will be the proudest “above the stars”.

We are proud to have the honor of being the largest Freshman class in the history of our Alma Mater. However, during the course of the year, our ranks were reduced to ninety-three. Regardless of all the superior glances of disgust the upper-classmen bestowed on us “Freshies”, we survived, and are now a part of V. H. S. After the first few weeks of bewilderment, we settled down to seriousness and elected our class officers. They are as follows: President .......................Gladys Kremer Vice-President .....................Fred Nickol Secretary-Treasurer .............Bill Cashman Student Senate ..................Jean Hopkins Pat Connaughton —thirty— During the course of the year, the Freshies were initiated into the various organizations. And I mean really initiated! The Freshmen have the honor of possessing the only class Sextette. The Band sponsored a magazine selling contest to provide funds for uniforms. We “Freshies” won, and did we enjoy the ice cream, yum, yum! “Scrap To Beat the Japs” was our motto when the American Legion chose us as official collectors. May I add that we obtained over five tons of iron, the sale of which added to our treasury. The kind consideration and careful guidance of Mr. Williams, “when his coffee agreed with him,” will bring us to be what we ought to be, and do what we ought to do, because we are anxious to learn. “We’re all good looking and full of wit, In three more years we’ll be the big ‘IT’.” MARY LOU WERNLE, ’45.

During the Christmas season the 7th and 8th Grades presented their annual pageant, “The Light Through the Ages”. Even though we are only little 7th Graders, we feel satisfied that we have contributed something to “good ole V. H.

These pupils have worked diligently to complete the work of this grade and prepare themselves for future duties and activities. Practice in typing is a part of the daily program in this grade. A number of the children are regular buyers of Defense Stamps, and several of them are planning Victory Gardens for this summer. For the Operetta, “The Kitchen Clock”, five of the leading-parts were taken by Third Graders, the remainder of the group being in choruses. They also had the opportunity to present a Thanksgiving playlet at the November P. T. S. A. Four of the group are the youngest members of the Children’s Choir.

During the term of 1941 and 1942, forty-seven of us enrolled in the First Grade of the Versailles School under the guidance of Dessie Ross. We have had unusual opportunities in our first year of public education. Not only have we taken part in the regular work our class room affords, but we have also enjoyed our typewriting and rhythm band classes. During the latter half of the term we had the opportunity of serving our Country by buying Defense Stamps each v eek. As time marches on we shall remember this as a patriotic privilege at a very early age. Our aim throughout the year has been to learn to work and play and live together happily. We have succeeded in a large measure. It is our secret hope, as we go along, that you, too, try to understand us. And for your efforts may we in turn reciprocate in good citizenship. —thirty-nine— %fiirkabirp YORKSHIRE The Yorkshire School opened in September, 1942, with an enrollment of 44. The school now consists of seven grades, the Seventh Grade remaining throughout this term. The school participated in the School Fair with the singing of familiar cowboy songs and dramatization of “Little Red Hen”. On December 21, 1941, the operetta, “Legend of the Snowman”, was enjoyed by both participants and audience. The school is proud of its attainments and hopes to continue its good work. —forty— —forty-one— Annual taff First Row—Donna plessinger, Maxine Marchal, James Brownmiller, Jack Manier, Nancy Gephart.

Along with these officers, Student Senate members were also chosen. Each grade, from the Seventh up, has two representatives, a boy and a girl. Mr. Rhoades and Mr. Fields, Faculty Advisers, skillfully direct the business of the Senate. The duties of the Senate are to supply entertainment and other business matters for the pleasure of the Student body. During the course of the year, we arranged programs of various types for the student body. Religious programs, motion picture shows, comedians and singers were among the programs. They were all received enthusiastically by the students. Something new was added this year in the way of entertainment. This was in the form of school dances. The idea for these dances was introduced by our president, Harold Marchal. These dances went over “with a bang”. Students who formerly were “wallflowers” really learned the “truck on down” as a result of these dances. These officers were elected at our first meeting: Harold Marchal, Senior, President; Nancy Gephart, Senior, Vice-President; and Ruth Wagner, Sophomore, Secretary-Treasurer. As the year draws to a close, we feel that the Student Senate has added something to the school year of 1941-1942. RUTH WAGNER, ’44. First Row—Fied Gerlach, Ruth Wagner, H. J.

Football season, and how our Band did perform under the lights! New formations were worked out for each game. At the home basketball games, pep and music were supplied by a specially organized pep band. Soon after school started, an election of officers was held. Those elected were: President .......................Homer S. Prakel Executive Committee ................Peggy Kindell Donna Plessinger The Band is again being run on the merit system. At the end of the year, the one with the highest number of merits receives a medal. Last year, the medal was presented to Doris Barga. The Third Annual Concert, on February 20, a patriotic pageant was given, and Defense Stamps were given away. These concerts have been great successes, and have become something to look forward to from year to year. Early in the Fall, the Band Parents organized, and since then, have held regular meetings. At these meetings, problems of the Band are discussed. The organization has been a great help, and we owe much to the Band Parents who helped to make it a success. We’ve had a “lot” of fun this year, and we certainly hate to see our Senior friends leave the Band. Next year we’re going to do all we can to keep the spirit of the American people high. JANE ANN JOHNSON, ’44. —forty-four— ©rrljpstra The entire year was spent in preparing for the 1942 Annual Orchestra Concert.

Dui'ing the year we elected our officers. They are: President ............... Betty Shiverdecker Executive Committee ........Nancy Gephart Jane Ann Johnson The Orchestra again operated under the merit system, which created more interest in our musical work. On March 26, we presented a program at the Teachers’ Conference. The Orchestra concluded its activities with an excellent performance at the Commencement exercises.

Sally Ann Zechar. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB This year thirty-two girls signed up for Girls’ Glee Club to help make 1941-42 the best musical year for Versailles High. We studied two an dthree-part music all year and the special dancing chorus of the operetta was chosen from this group. We are now working on the Commencement Music. We had several special vocalists. There were two sextettes. The girls of the Freshman sextette were Norma Lee Urquhart, Betty Jane Grisez, Harriette Simon, Pauline Rudolph, Joanne Fambrough and Judith Gillette. The girls of the advanced group were Donna Plessinger, Phyllis Grewe, Jane Ann Johnson, Helen Bennett, Jo Ann Turpen and Pauline Rismiller. The Freshman Sextette sang for several P. T. S. A. programs and the Junior High Pageant. The advanced group sang at the Altrurian Guest Meeting and also the Christmas Pageant. This year nine girls from Versailles sang in the contest held at Wittenberg College. Nancy Gephart won a high rating as a soprano soloist. The members of the octette were Donna Plessinger, Phyllis Grewe, Jane Ann Johnson, Judith Gillette, Helen Bennett, Puline Rismiller, Betty Shiverdecker and Jo Ann Turpen. They won a good rating plus a lot of valuable experience. This year we had two accompanists—Helen Bennett and Mary Lou Wernle. Helen accompanied the girls’ chorus and one mixed. Mary Lou accompanied the other mixed chorus and the Freshman Sextette. During the operetta, Helen accompanied the chorus and Mary Lou the soloists. JUDITH GILLETTE. —forty-six— MIXED CHORUS The aim to build a selective chorus (Varsity Chorus) was not possible this year, as the best singers had no common period. In order to get over this hurdle, two mixed chorus units were organized; one meeting on Monday and Wednesday, the other on Tuesday and Thursday. The various programs in which the mixed chorus participated this year included the operetta, “Chimes of Normandy”, the Baccalaureate Service, the Armistice Day Program, and several school assembly programs. The aim of these groups were to stimulate interest and improve part singing. Singing the choruses of “Chimes of Normandy” in four parts, and the a capella chorus numbers on the Baccalaureate program was proof of our success in this type of singing. The executive committee of the vocal music departments was com poed of thirteen students. There was a president, secretary-treasurer, and librarians to represent each of the three music classes. This group selected the operetta and assumed various other responsibilities in carrying out the vocal music program. The officers elected for the year 1941-42 were as follows: Monday and Wednesday Mixed Chorus President .......................Juanita Kelch Secretary-Treasurer .............Maxine Marchal Librarians ......................Wayne Rismiller Tuesday and Thursday Mixed Chorus President ....................Jane Ann Johnson Secretary-Treasurer...........Betty Shiverdecker Librarians ......................Homer S.

Students graduating from High Schools and Business Colleges this year have many opportunities of securing employment with the Government. Upon graduation, we “Scratch and Peckers” hope to be able to do our part in beating the “Japs”. We, as students of typing and shorthand, are working with diligence. This is pointed out by the fact that two “Peckers” have been awarded pins for typing fifty words a minute with a maximum of five errors. In addition to this, one “Scratcher” has won a diploma for passing a complete theory test. This test consists of one hundred words illustrating all the principles of shorthand, written and transcribed in a specified time. These facts prove beyond a doubt that we are contributing to preparing for future defense jobs. Our teacher and faculty adviser, Miss Smith, is responsible for our good work. The “Scratch and Peck” Club consists of forty-two members. The purpose of this club is to get a better understanding of secretarial work and its problems in the business world. MARY GEHLE, ’42. —fifty— Siatin Club In September forty-nine students enrolled in Latin for the term of 1941-42. The entire group soon assembled to organize our club, the “Mastigiae”. We elected the following as our officers: Consuls....................Jane Ann Johnson Homer S. Prakel Quaestor......................Jo Ann Turpen Praetors ........................Mary Wernle Norma Urquhart Pat Connaughton Marshall Treon J. D. Weaver We held our first meeting in October. At this meeting the first-year Latin students were initiated and became full-fledged members of the club. In spite of all our down-heartedness at times, everyone now realizes how profitable and interesting this ancient language is. Our Spring party was a colorful success. The various “patres et matres” came clad in Roman togas. We all reclined on couches to eat (a Roman custom). All departed at a late hour, saying that the party was a grand success.

On October 29, thirty-two “just plain” Home Economics students cast off their “week worn” clothing and became “Little Women”. Every girl taking Home Economics in high school who was not a member was was invited to join the club. The F. H. A. is closely connected with the American and Ohio Home Economics Association. The purpose of the club is to encourage social and professional work in this field. “Little Women” have many opportunities to make friends with students from other schools in the State. There are 75 girls taking Home Economics in high school; out of this number there are 55 F. H. A. members.

At our first meeting, the class elected the following officers: President ........................Riley Brandon Vice-President ...........................Edward Grilliot Secretary ..................................Paul Brandt Treasurer .......................Thomas Johnston Reporter ..........................Marvin Barga Student Adviser ...................Dale Brandon The subjects taken up this year were: “Soil and Farm Management”, for the Juniors and Seniors, while the Freshmen and Sophomores took up “Farm Crops”. In addition to our annual School and Community Fair, the Colt Show, Team Show, and Dairy Show were a great success. The Versailles Chapter served as hosts for the Darke County Corn Husking Contest held in October on one of the Hole Farms located east of Versailles. We are very proud to have the Darke County Junior Champion Corn Husker in our F. F. A. Chapter—“Ed” Grilliot is the “speed demon” who husked five hundred eighty-five pounds in thirty minutes. The school was given a large trophy with “Ed’s” name engraved upon it. The Crops Team won a similar trophy at the Darke County Fair. As the year comes to a close, we feel that the activities of the Future Farmers of America Association has been very successful and much has been accomplished.

As this was the first game ever —fifty-six— played between these two schools, very little was known of the strength of each other. The Tigers were confident, but as they had to play on a muddy field, they were defeated, 20-0. The following Friday the Tigers played the second half of a home-and-home game series with Bradford at Bradford. Although the V. H. S. eleven defeated the Railroaders early in the season, they knew this game was no “push over”. The Tigers went prepared, and came home with an 18-0 victory. The team reached its peak of performance the following Friday night and defeated a heavy West Milton team by a score of 52-0. The highlight of this game was the performance of the second and third teams. Nearly all the V. H. S. ball carriers scored touchdowns in this contest. The Varsity eleven’s next foe was a hard driving team from Eaton, and after three hard fought quarters, the Tigers finally opened up and scored the much-needed touchdowns. Final score was 39 to 7, in favor of V. H. S. Long runs by the Tiger ball carriers kept the fans on edge of their seats throughout the game. The next game was with Vandalia-Butler, and a victory for the Tigers would assure them of at least a tie for the championship of the Little Western Buckeye League. With this in mind, the Tigers took the field with a determination to win, which they did, by a score of 20-0. This was the second game of the season played on a wet and muddy field, but the Tigers gave a fine performance. During this game the V. H. S. backfield suffered the loss of Fullback Harvey Hole, who was injured during the first quarter. Joe Graves took over the fullback ‘job’ and gave a good performance. The Tigers’ record in league competition was 4 wins, no defeats, with only 7 points scored against them while rolling up 130 points. Tipp City was the Tigers’ last league rival, and when the game was over, the Tigers had won by a score of 21-0. By winning this game, the Tigers were undefeated in league competition, and undisputed winner of the Little Western Buckeye League crown. On the following Friday, the Tigers closed their highly successful season at Paulding. As this was the first meeting between these two teams, the Tigers ran up against a powerful team that represented Paulding; the final score was 25 to 0, in favor of Paulding. The football season was very successful, with 7 win and 2 defeats. Summing up the season, we see that the outstanding features of the team were: The passing of of Gus Barga, plunging of Harvey Hole, blocking of Tom Magoto, returning of punts by Fred Fiebiger, tackling by Robert Pepiot, Riley Brandon, Bob Gillette and Stuart Treon, and the line smashing of Dale Brandon and J. D. Weaver.. Add this to the pass-catching of Dick Kindell, and you have the Tigers of 1941. The Tigers can also give credit for their successful season to Coach Rapp, who did an excellent job of coaching. Also the business men of Versailles, who through their excellent support furnished us with an excellent lighting system for night games. We wish to thank the business men for their fine support in improving the athletic field, and making our season highly successful.

Practice started immediately. The Coach was faced with a major problem in selecting the five best boys to represent V. H. S. on the hardwood. After many hard practices, the following boys were selected as the first team: Bob Pepiot, Dick Kindell, Paul Hole, Gus Barga and Dick George. The season opened with Palestine as opponents and the Versailles “five” met defeat by a core of 20 to 13. Lack of practice showed up frequently during this game, so the Tigers really went to work, and the following Friday defeated Gettysburg, score 38-28. The following night the Versailles squad traveled to Dayton, where they met Fairview. Soon after this game started it was evident that the Tigers had stepped out of their class, but they went down fighting, being defeated by the scohe of 31-19. With their record standing at 2 losses and 1 win, the “local quintet” played Bradford the following Friday with the determination to win, which they did by the score of 17-10. The next opponent fo rthe “local team” was Dayton Co-Op. This game was a battle from start to finish, but the Tigers faded in the last few minutes and were beaten by one point—25 to 24. Next week the Tigers again took to traveling as they played a confident St. Henry team. The Orange and Black ployed their best game of the season and defeated St. Henry by the score of 27-17. During Christmas vacation the Tigers played the Alumni, with the gate receipts going to the Red Cross. The Alumni registered a mild upset, as they defeated the “Rappmen” by the score of 29-23. Ansonia was the Tigers’ next opponent, and after four quarters of hard fought basketball, the “locals” were nosed out again by one point, 20-19. The following week the Orange and Black returned to the hardwood wit ha determination of stopping those one-point losses, which they did by defeating Hollansburg by the score of 39-22, and New Madison, 20-14. The Tigers’ next opponent was Arcanum, who had lost only one game all season. The locals proceeded to upset the dope bucket by defeating Arcanum by the core of 22-20. This game was pulled out of the fire byfour quick baskets in the last few minutes of play. With the winning spirit still in their hearts, the Tigers traveled to Jackson. This game was well played throughout, but when the game ended, the score was 25 to 24 against the Tigers. by one point, the locals began laying plans for the next game. This game was with Bradford, and again the Tigers lost by one point, 24-23. The following week the Versailles five traveled to Franklin. They played their poorest game of the season, being defeated by the score of 35-25. This was one way to break up those one-point losses, and may have done the local team some good, because the following week the Tigers ran up their largest score of the season in defeating Union City— 50 to 28. The next game for the Tigers was with Greenville. This was the —fifty-nine— fina Igame of the season. With a destermination of playing their best game of the season, the local team took the floor. For three quarters the game was a battle, andat one time the future looked bright for V. H. S. During the fourth quarter, Greenville turned on the steam and rolled up a comfortable lead. The final score was 37-26. The Tigers entered the District Tournament at Dayton and played West Carrollton in their first game. This game was played on the defensive side, but the Tigers emerged with a victory by the score of 22-16. By winning this game, the Tigers drew Ohio Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphons Home for their next opponent. This game started very slow, and through the failure of the Tigers to score during the first quarter, O. S. S. O. rolled up a comfortable lead which they held to the end. The final core was O. S. S. D. 39, Verailles High School 14. O. S. S. O., after defeating Versailles, went on to win the District Championship. The seasonal record for the Orange and Black was nine wins and ten losses. The boys played good, interesting ball throughout every game, but many times lacked the necessary “punch” to score the two points which might change a loss to a win. The loss of players, due to sickness, also ruined the hopes of a well-oiled machine. The record of the Reserves team was five wins and eleven losses. MARVIN BARGA, ’42.

All the classes elected their officers for the coming year. The Tigers journeyed to Coldwater to play their first game of football and came home with a victory for V. H. S. Everyone rushed to the football rally to see the football field for the first time under lights, and also to get acquainted with our new Coach, Mr. Rapp. The Tigers’ first home game was played with none other than an old athletic rival, Bradford. But our boys came through with a victory, 19-0. OCTOBER— Seniors had their class pictures taken—Mr. Riggs claims no camera was broken. Tigers’ first defeat came when Urbana beat them, 20-0. School-Community Fair proved to be the biggest and best ever. As its main entertainers this year, it had Jack Kurkowski and his Xylophone Band. Ed. Grilliot was the winner of the County Junior Corn Husking Contest. Eaton traveled to Versailles in hopes of a victory, but instead the Tigers won by a score of 52-0. NOVEMBER— Teachers have a meeting at Dayton, and students had a day of vacation. Tipp City opponent in final home game and also the last league game. Coach Rapp’s men proved to be the better team, by 20-0. The Tigers were champions of the Little Western Buckeye League. They were honored with a banquet and also presented with a handsome trophy. Junior Class presents “Happy Landing”. There was a lot of talent displayed, but wait until you see the Seniors in action in April. Tigers opened basketball season with Palestine, losing 20-13. —sixty-two— DECEMBER— Students begin to get restless and can hardly wait until Christmas vacation starts. After war had keen declared, the Red Cross asked for help, so the Biology Class did their bit by sponsoring an old-fashioned box social— only in a new-fangled way. Students traveled to Fairview to see Tigers bring home another victory, but were disappointed by losing, 31 19. To bring the basketball season to a close for 1941, Dayton Co-Op came to Versailles and went home with a 25-24 victory. To end all the school activities for 1941, Miss Eilert presented a Christmas play which included only the Seventh and Eighth Grade Chorus. JANUARY— Students return to take up their studies where they left off—seems that mid-term exams stared us right in the face. First basketball game for 1942 was with Ansonia, and the Tigers lost by one point—20 to 19. The Speech Class seems to have a lot of ability presented in “Prince of Peace” speeches by having had Martha Magoteaux to represent Darke County at the District Contest at Springfield. FEBRUARY— The Instrumental Department gave its annual concert. This year the program was a patriotic revue in honor of the Defense Savings Stamp. As an added feature, ten dollars in Defense Stamp were given away. The Tigers were guests of Bradford, and suffered their fourth one-point defeat of the season. To bring the basketball season to a close, came the Greenville vs. Versailles game. This was the biggest game of the season. But the “Green Wave” proved to be just a little stronger than the Tigers. —sixty-three— MARCH— The Vocal Department presented “The Chimes of Normandy” under the direction of Miss Eilert. Everyone seemed to enjoy it very much. Everyone went to Dayton to see the Tigers beat West Carrollton, 23 to 16, and then to see O. S. S. O. come back and beat the Tigers, 39 to 14. Well, better luck next year. Eight of the Seniors who had the highest grades went to Greenville to take the Scholarship Test. Two of the students placed second and fourth. APRIL— School was dismissed for Good Friday. Seniors selected their Class Colors and also their Class Flower. The Tigers opened their baseball season with St. Henry and lost, 2-1. After many interruptions, the Senior Class finally presented “Tempest and Sunshine”, which really displayed a lot of undiscovered talent in the class. MAY— Everyone put on his or her best ‘duds’ and went to the Junior-Senior Reception. This year the Senior Class Night was given in the form of a circus, and it proved to be a success. Commencement comes and goes, and every Senior receives the diploma he or she has been working for, for the past twelve years. None of us knows where the Paths of Life will lead us . . . but, wherever we go, the days spent in V. H. S. will always be remembered as the happiest days of our lives. —sixty-four— EVINGER’S DRUG STORE QUALITY MERCHANDISE AT REASONABLE PRICES Gifts for All Occasions Red Wing Ice Cream Say It With Flowers SHORT’S GREENHOUSE Phone 292 Versailles, Ohio YOUR DUTY | It is the patriotic duty of £ every one of us to serve our Country in some capacity.
