“iFamitij conpa” For East is East and West is West, but never the twain shall meet.” This might be tiue, tut here in Versailles it has been proven false. 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—

Centura Secy.-Treas...... Student Senate— President Vice-President ....Donna Liftman Nancy Gephart Harold Marchal Doris Oliver Paul Hole SENIOR HISTORY Let us leaf through the pages of previous yearbooks and follow the course of the Senior Class of 1942 through their “High School Days”. 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—
