Mrs. Lair M. E. Lomelino Gene Fahs Jack Page Mr. Harrison Advisor Sec.-Treas. President Vice-Pres. Advisor Junior History Ah, to be a Junior! It's hard to believe that we are, and that three years have passed since we were freshmen, but so it is! And yet lots have happened in those years, expecially the last. But, let us start with the first. On September 3, 1946, there were seventy-five of us green freshmen initiated into VCHS. We had the largest class in school, and that was some- thing we were proud of. After a few days of school we elected our President, Bill Parker, Vice-President, Barbara Molitorisg Sec retary, Lowell McNaught, Advisors, Mrs. Gerlach and Mr. Crull. Helen Dodd was the Queen Candidate, attendant of Norma Jombock. This, our first year, was not so full of events as the next. On September 3, 1947, about seventy sophomores were enrolled in school. We elected for our President, Robert Murphyg Vice-President, Helen Dodd: Secretary, Jo Ann Hogang Advisors, Miss Vaupel and Mr. Herbst. At Home- coming, each class presented a stunt, and we were very proud that our class won first place. Helen Dodd, was Queen Candidate, attendant of Carol Riffey. On September 3, 1948, about sixty-eight Juniors were enrolled. After a few days of school when everyone had settled down, we elected our President, Gene Fahs: Vice-President, Jack Page: and Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Ellen Lome- lino: Advisors, Mrs. Lair and Mr. Harrison. Helen Dodd was our Queen Can- didate, attendant of Phyllis Hamilton for Homecoming. Our class is proud to say we won first place on our Homecoming stunt. Jo Ann Hogan and Helen Dodd were two of the Candidates at the Sweetheart dance, of which Helen Dodd was crowned Sweetheart. Our Junior Play Pro- fessor, How Could You? attractedavery large audience and really went over the best any play has for some time. Evelyn Brewer was one of the cheer- leaders for the basketball and football team. Early in the fall we made plans to earn money for our main event of the year, sponsoring the Junior and Senior Prom. We had a magazine sale and divided the class into teams. The winning team was presented a party by the losing team. Jack Page was high salesman and received a Parker Pen and Pencil set as a prize. We had several attractions at the All School Carnival also. The members of the Junior Class have participated in band, glee club, FFA, FHA, Speech contest and also have had ahand in helping with many other things that have helped to make this year's school term a success. Good Luck from PAGE ELECTRIC 24
