They will receive their diplomas in May, 1946. NORMAN BARGA JOHN BILLENSTEIN DONALD BURNS GEORGE FRANTZ PAUL GRILLIOT PAUL REISER OWEN SHUMAKER LESTER SIMON IN MEMORIAM The following graduates of Versailles High School gave their lives in World War II. Marvin Barga ................................... Class of ’42 Marion Barton Class of ’38 Paul Buell ..................................... Class of ’36 Kenneth Detrick Class of ’40 Robert Gillette ................................ Class of ’43 Carl Jones ......................................Class of ’36 Harold Marehal ................................. Class of ’42 Romayne Metzger ................................ Class of ’37 Cletus Rhoades ................................. Class of ’34 Eugene Rhoades ................................ Class of ’35 George Sherry ............................ .,... Class of ’36 Anthony Voisinet Class of ’39 Twenty JINGLES It’s Gene at the bat, and that ain’t all, In Physic class he’s on the ball. Joan’s our friend, tall and pretty is she, Then too, “she has a pleasing personality”. He’s a lad that likes to tease, But he’d do most anything—just to please. Some North Star boy goes many a mile, To see Ann use her famous smile. This is Dot, our friendly clerk, You will always find her busy at work_ Milton Edson is his name, To us it’s Junior, just the same. Virginia’s the quiestest girl around, A truer friend has ne’er been found. Kenny is a sport and an athelete too, His friends are many and enemies few. A whiz at Math is our Glenn, We don’t mean Zellers—but a ’46’ man. At most everything, Wanda will pass, Oh but cures—that typing class! A quiet girl with an infectious smile, Her type of friendliness is always in style. She’s rather tall and lots of fun, She’ll put your blues right on the run. Our accompanist for the minstrel, he’s really all reet, An again on the organ, Dick can’t be beat. We wonder when Bob was a little tyke, If he started repairing his motor bike. On Sunday p. m’s. when for Dawn you’re bound, You’ll find Buck running for an exciting first down. You’ll see Mary as she speeds round a corner; That’s her right, for she helps Mr. Hoerner. Bernard is a silent guy, His faults are few and ideals high. “Fid” is a boy who’s full of fun, When he’s around the tricks are done. From six to eleven on Saturday nite, He sells his potatoes and he’s always polite. “Mary Lou! Mary Lou! Little girl with eyes of blue.” Twenty-one To be called Myrt, fairly makes her hair curl, But won’t she make a pretty Indian girl. “Tardiness is bliss someone said, And from the looks of things it might have been Fred. The “Osgood belle” is our queen, The boys all say she’s on the beam. She can’t be passed without a smile, She’s surely a friend that is worthwhile. This boy is sure to bring us fame, That’s right, Bob is his name. Mary and Martha are twins at heart, You’ll be doing fine if you can tell them apart. In our high school days, she’s missed lots of fun, But she got her diploma and therefore she’s won! Here we have Wanda, to all a friend, Wherever you see her, you also see Glenn. Now this is Jane, she’s quite a gal, She’s full of fun and to all, a pal. She has red hair, and laughing eyes, A little gal that causes the sighs. They call her “Red” for the obvious reason, She doesn’t mind, she knows they’re teasin’. Buck’s the captain of our brave eleven, Coach will vouch for him at the gates of heaven. Tho’ Ed is short it’s not extreme, He still excelled on the football team. Virginia has a former’s head, She knew a mule was a pure hybrid. Esther makes her trombone sing, Just as her laugh gives the hall a ring. They call him “Sugar-Foot” in the class play, You see him at Wolf’s every day. Each class has a blond and ours is Mary, She’s already engaged, so boys be wary. When “Samanthy” zips by like a flash of steel, You can be sure it’s ‘Dick’ at the wheel. This gal Rich, she isn’t coy, Better known is “our tom boy”. Our Bill is very keen, Can always be heard if not seen. To V. H. S. she’ll always stick, Because between us and Greenville, she had to pick. If you are sad, and want a laugh, Just look for Peg, she’s quite a lass! Twenty-two Sherman’s sleepy lots of the time, It must be that New Weston clime. His model airplanes were the talk of the school, And on current events, he’s nobody’s fool. Greg’s heart belongs to Willowdell, When it comes to blondes, he does right well. Jackie has that “stunning crew”, Where there’s Ginny, there’s Jackie too, Her heart belongs to “Ellie” true, But she’s always been our good pal, too. Ruth is very pretty and neat, To be her friend is really a treat. Velma is office girl the fifth, She gives the school a lot of lift. Her happy smile, and winning ways, Makes Thelma the joy of all our days. Mary Ann has an artistic mind, A better friend you cannot find. John is our only returned “vet”, He’ll go places, we’re willing to bet. Stover’s the name, Wood Street’s the place, If you’re ready to argue, you know she’s an ace, You’ve heard a lot of the “Postman's Daughter”, That’s the fame her daddy’s brought her. Virginia is so quiet and neat, She’s surely a friend you’ll want to meet. Cletus you’ll have to agree is short, But you couldn’t find a better sport. Jim is a guy quiet and neat, As a newly acquired friend, he can’t be beat. Please, Mr. Fields, don’t trade it in, We’ll always love that pile of tin. And if you want prospective buyers, Just don’t forget, it’s got four tires. We’ve done our duty, and made them rhyme. Now that we’ve finished, we’re going to sign.

Fifty-eight Juniors heard these words, and we began our 3rd term in V_ H. S. Our pursuit of knowledge continued, we renewed our relationship with the teachers and our fellow students. The first link in the “Junior Year Chain” was the election of our officers. They are: President ............................. Robert Barga Vice President ................. Martha Ann Frantz Secretary-Treasurer................ Mona Lou Berger Student Senate .......Betty Brown and Dean Brewer The second link was the Class play “Good Neighbors”. The cast and directors were complimented on the success of it. Next we selected our rings. We are “awfully” proud of our choice. As time past we found ourselves honorably represented in every activity. A junior was one of the three chosen as Cheer Leader. “Good work, Wanda”. The final link was the Junior-Senior Reception. Some fun! The chain now completed, we now look forward to our Senior year, but we will never forget the time when “We were the Juniors”. And to the departing Seniors we say: Each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, A book of rules, And each must make— E’re life is flown— A stumbling block, Or a stepping stone. —Mary Jane Marchal.

Thirty-four Sophomore History 1945 - 1946 The opening of school in September brought together again a group of sunny faced Sophomores, eager to take their place among the upper classmen. At the beginning of the first semester 68 pupils were enrolled. As the year progressed we welcomed four more students, and lost one making us a total of 71. After the usual routine of meeting new friends and renewing old acquaintances we all settled down, and began to think real seriously about school. We selected class officers. Football season found our class well represented on the squad. Brown, Blakely, Keller, Ridenour and Price, all being high scoring players. Oh yes, something new was added this year. After the last game we crowned a homecoming queen and we were all extremely proud that the queen chosen, (Vera Schulze), was a member of our class. This winter our girls were very active in basketball. Each class had its team. The Sophomores, won the championship, and then played a team made up of the highest scoring players of each of the other teams. Again they were victorious and a silver trophy was presented to the “Champs” by Mrs. Grillot—“Nice going girls—keep up the good work”. And now in completing our class history of “46” may we extend our thanks to Mr. Zeller, our class advisor, for all his help and careful guidance which has made our Sophomore year a successful and enjoyable one.

CLASS ADVISOR Miss Eastman Thirty-six Freshmen Class History This year opened with a bang! With 81 young, eager freshmen. The first days were exciting and trying but in a short time we became accustomed to the new life. One boy liked it so well for a while he went to Algebra class twice a day. The Freshman class has some very good students and we are very proud of them. Many of the boys participated in basketball and football. Some of the girls organized a basketball team and played at noon. All of the Freshmen are in some organization. Many are in the band, orchestra and choruses. There were 81 Freshmen enrolled last fall when school started In the first semester, Don Shifflette came here from California, Arivanna Black and Charles Steinke left in the second semester, but we gained a new member, John Swabb. There are now enrolled 36 boys and 41 girls. During the year quite a few Freshmen took part in the Minstrel Show and Band Concert. We hope all of the boys and girls will be back with us next year as Sophomores. —Barbara Goodall “49”.

The first thing we did as Eighth Graders was to elect our officers. They are as follows: President—Wanda Hutchins. Vice President—Wanda Jean Dunn. Secretary-Treasurer—Earl Gigandet. Student Senate—Margaret Schwepe, Delbert Dunn. They did a very good job, and we have season to be proud of these representatives of our class. Next year we will be Freshmen but our Eigthth year in school will always remain in our memorys as one of the happiest in our life. Thirty-eight Seventh Crude The beginning of the school term found 47 very nervous students in the 7th grade room. But before very long, we became accustomed to the “ways and wiles” of the High School, and as time passed we became very proud of ourselves, as we proved to the other students that we had just as many bright and good looking members as they had. At Christmas we exchanged gifts, and a VERY GOOD TIME was had by all. We did the best we could, and we shall continue to do so. And as the years pass, you will find us right up there with the best of them. First row—Miss Smith. Mary Lou Mitchell. Helen Mitchell. Helen Rose. Melva Goubeaux, Betty Slrobel, Jackalene Smith.

Along with these, two representatives from each of the upper six grades were elected as members of the Student Senate. The Senate has been active in the Versailles High School many years. The Student Senates aim is to encourage a better understanding and relationship between the students and the faculty. It creates within us a sense of independence and loyalty. The Senate provides for the maintaining of the standards of good citizenship in the school. It stimulates the desire for more student activities. During the first meeting we elected Glenn Brewer, President and Dean Brewer, Vice President. The greatest work of the Student Senate this year was that of sponsoring the Jamborees after the home basketball games. I’m sure all the students enjoyed them immensely. (The boys seemed especially interested in playing cards.) We appreciated the popular pieces the Swing Band “beat out” for us. The proceeds from the Jamborees were set aside as a fund for the purchasing of a new trophy case. We want to get a case large enough to accomodate all the trophies we acquire in future years. —Betty Brown “47”. First row—Betty Brown, Mary Buscher, Margaret Schwepe.

Never has the world needed Unity as it is needed at the present time. This phase and many others are used constantly in our every day speech. We find the need of a knowledge of Latin in the fields of science, medicine and law. As we learn the life of the past in connection with the study of Latin we may be able to understand better some of the needs of our own time and community. By studying the language we come to understand more clearly facts about English that we need to know. This increased knowledge of English will help in many years. In addition, it aids greatly in the study of modern foreign languages. We have borrowed much from the Romans in our civilization, and while studying their language, we come to understand more of their influence on our lives. In our literature, in our art, and in the form of public buildings, we are greatly indebted to the Romans, both for what they developed and for what they passed on to us from the Greeks. Latimalso has its lighter and entertaining side. Each fall the members of the second year Latin class invite the first year students to become members of the Latin Mastigiae. After an eventful evening of initiation into the mysteries of the club, the slight discomforts and inconveniences are forgotten, when the new members are presented with their coveted Latin pins. There are 33 members of Latin Mastigiae. Forty-six I Como Estan Uds., Buenos Vecinos? First row—Mrs. Grillot, Fat Barga, Wanda Smith. Susan Baltes, Martha Ann Frantz. Mary Jane Marchal.

Since the Spanish language is spoken in more countries than any other, and because of our interest in the southern republics, a demand for Spanish is becoming universal. A social use of Spanish not only makes the study more enjoyable, but creates sympathy with the races who speak it and so broadens our outlook on life. Films of Spanish life from Spain and Mexico were shown to the Spanish classes. Some of the members corresponded with students in Cuba, Mexico, Panama, and our own Sante Fe. During the second semester we read “El Eco”, a Spanish paper. Plans for a Spanish Club, “Los Picaros” are in progress. The club will serve as both a social and literary medium. Formal meetings are conducted during the class period, and the social times after school or at home. Approximately sixty students have taken Spanish during its three years in the curriculum. Two years of Spanish are offered. —Carol Steffen ’46. Forty-seven Commercial Club First row—Carol Steffen. Anna Jean Smith, Velma Spraley, Doris Froebe, Florine Groff. Pat Barga.

The purpose of these classes is to further the interest in commercial work and in give the students a better understanding of the business world. Office girls are chosen from these classe, if possible. And they thereby gain a small amount of experience in meeting the public. Formerly, Civil Service tests were taken with opportunities of securing government employment. These tests have been discontinued since the close of the war. The advanced class of typing has published an issue of “The Versailles Journal”. It was very interesting and we are hoping that there will be more. —Velma Spraley.

The Future Homemakers of America are divided into two groups: the regular club of which the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are members, and the Junor Club to which the Freshmen belong. The Club has forty-eight members and the Junior Club has twenty-nine members. The formal initiation was held in October. It was an impressive candlelight ceremony in which both clubs participated. Money making activities included, sponsoring a lunch stand at basketball games, the school fair, and a bake sale. The Junior-Senior members went to Columbus to visit the Ohio State University last March.

They also had two evening programs which were given before capacity crowds. Due to the end of the war, the chapter is planning more trips and project tours. The Junior and Senior Classes went to “The Farm and Home Week”, at Columbus and spent the day attending meetings and touring the College of Agriculture. The chapter organized a parlimentary procedure team which won the county contest. We are now planning to attend the district contest. The Chapter is practicing for the county and state judging contests which they plan to enter this spring. —Gene Baltes ’46.

When the 1945-46 school year rolled around and the time came to sign up for classes at V. H. S., 121 boys and girls trouped down to the Annex, anxious to send up their voices in melodious harmonies. Although the rest of us like to sing, and do lots of it, we’re really proudest of our Boy’s Quartet. When it comes to harmony, they seem to “Hit it off” so well together. Miss Staubach has worked very hard all year to train our voices (and manners) so that you will be able to hear something of our efforts in public. Fifty-two During the first semester, we prepared numbers for the Egg Auction meeting and for Baccalaureate in the spring. We presented a minstrel show, “The Dusky Clouds”, which was given in March.

In pre-ceeding years we held concerts and we hope to continue them in the future. We intend to go to the Spring-field Music Concert next year—and come home with a ribbon. We have enjoyed playing together and it is with deepest regret that we bid farewell to our Senior Members. —Margaret Ann Stover ’46 ■ Orchestra ... First row—Rita Meyer.

As you see, we are increasing rapidly, and I might add, improving greatly. Soon after school started we held our annual election of officers. The results were: President, Ralph Barge; Vice President, Marilyn Fam-brough; Secretary-Treasurer, Virginia Pitsenbarger; Librarian, Margaret Ann Stover. Early in the fall the Band Parents reorganized in order to create civic interest in the Band. At all the home games our gallant parents sponsored a lunch stand which proved very profitable. On Friday, September the seventh the Band participated in the dedication of the Butler Township Memorial Athletic field and monument, at Vandalia, Ohio. Eight other bands took part in the ceremony. The Seventh Annual Concert, held on March 8th, was a huge success. We were quite proud of our program this year as it consisted of some very difficult numbers. The main attraction of our concert, however, was to be the initial showing of our brand new uniforms. We were really going to strut our stuff! But due to circumstances beyond our control, the uniforms failed to materialize. When they do come, our Band will really be tops. —Phyllis Prakel, ’47.

BASKETBALL Basketball practice started on November 5, with seventeen boys turning out. We started off with a whole new team, as last years team consisted of all Seniors. The boys who did the major part of the playing were: Kenneth Brandon and Verl Mangen, Seniors; Richard Brandon, Junior; Don Keller, Gale Blakley and Pete Price, Sophomores. Our seasonal record was not too good, but we beat some of the best teams. The Tigers defeated Bradford, who later played in the finals at the state tournament. They defeated Union City, who won the Darke County Championship. The Tigers played Phillipsburg in the tournament, held at Dayton, being defeated by a score of 38-25. Next year our boys will all be experienced players and therefore we are expecting a very good team. ------------v----------- OUR CHEER LEADERS Ruth Mumaw Wanda Smith Mary Louise Grilliot BASEBALL 1946 It is baseball time again. The Tigers are getting their squad together. Seven members of last years team left us at the close of last season. We have three boys back who earned letters last year. They are: Gene Baltes, who played right field, Gregor Schlater, left field, and Gale Blakley, who played third base. This years squad picture will not be in the annual, since our squad wasn’t organized at the time the pictures were taken. We have eleven games scheduled for this year: April 2—New Madison, there. April 18—Monroe, there. April 4—Greenville, there. April 22—Russia, here. April 9—Piqua, there. April 26—Houston, here. April 12—Houston, there. April 29—Greenville, here. April 16—Bradford, here. May 3—Piqua, here. May 7—Jackson, there. To date there has been four games played. Won two, and lost two, but we hope to do better toward the last of the season. The members of the squad are as follows: Gale Blakley, p.; Bernard Eilerman, p.; Verl Mangen, c.; Richard Brandon, lb.; Gregor Schlater, 2b.; Robert Barga, 3b.; Don (Shorty) Keller, ss.; Jim Grisez, If.; Gene Baltes, cf.; Athern Cunningham, rf.; John Baltes, Glenn Brewer, Roger Henry, Don Oliver, Ed Manier, Jack Barga, Bud Tipple, Joe Parmenter, John Simon, and John Connaughton, Mgr. Fifty-nine THE FACUTLY Now we don’t mean to criticize For we aren’t smart or we aren’t wise, But we mean to give you this open case Of the people who overrun the place. First, we have Mr. Rhoades He isn’t too small, Swipes candy from lockers And shouts, “Clear the hall!” Now we’ll proceed to enlighten you, For we’ve only time, to explain just a few. Mrs. Young teaches us Etiquette And how to say “Hi,” to people we’ve met, She’ll say you’re rude, but don’t feel abused She’ll treat you nice, if she isn’t misused. Too bad you underclassmen can’t speak your mind, But we’re leaving—and you’re left behind. We won’t mention his name, though he wouldn’t care Just can’t tell all—it wouldn’t be fair, But a few subtle hints, we must confess Is the way he pounds his ring on the desk. We’re almost through—just one more tip, Take this to heart and you’ll never slip. “Su Attencion,” is her greeting When she catches someone cheating, Practice on that innocent look Then you’ll be O. K. behind the book. So little lads and lassies beware, We’ve given advice, so you take care! Yes, we know, we complain But without them here, t’wouldn’t be the same, We’ve enjoyed every minute, and hate to go You can laugh if you care to, but you’ll find out it’s so! Margaret Seman—Margaret Stover. Sixty SCHOOL CALENDAR SEPTEMBER— The month when brave little lads and cute little lassies return for readin’, ritin’, and ’ritmetic. 3. School opens.
