SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Francis McEldowney, Doris Warner, Mary Louise Magoteaux, Joe Baltes, Harvey Warrick. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September 1944 seventy-seven young girls and boys entered the Versailles High School. We were all eager for a new experience. Soon we became accustomed to the ways of high school life. The Freshman class was ready to participate in all activities the Freshman year offered. The class was well represented in football, basketball, and baseball. The following September sixty-eight members were enrolled to begin their Sophomore year. We renewed old friendships and made new ones. As the year passed we welcomed four more students and lost one making a total of seventy-one. Once more we took our place in activities. We made fine records in all our sports. Also during the year Vera Schulze was chosen Homecoming Queen. The year passed rapidly closing with a Sophomore picnic at Stillwater Beach. It was enjoyed by all who were present. Now we were Juniors with the same spirit and pep as before. Our class enrollment has decreased to sixty-four. We were indeed sorry to lose these friends. The crowning of the Homecoming Queen took place again this year at the last football game of the season. We were glad the queen was chosen from our class again. The queen this year was Mary Louise Magoteaux. The Junior-Senior reception was held in the High School auditorium May 10. 1947. The Seniors bade farewell to V. H. S., and welcomed us in their places. On September 2 we registered in V. H. S. for the last time. We were sorry we lost eight of our class members. The enrollment of our class is now fifty-six. Our class is still well represented in basketball, football and baseball. The class is proud to say that the Homecoming Queen was again chosen from our class. The queen was Mary Jane Simon. We are sorrowful at the thoughts of leaving V. H. S. and our friends. We the Senior Class of 1948, desire to express our sincere appreciation to the Faculty for the interest shown us during our four years in V. H. S., and hope that their time shall not have been spent in vain. —Elsie Schulze “48” Page Nineteen
