t r+o THE VIRGINIAN cr K): CLASS HISTORY When in course of human events it became necessary for this great institution, B. V. H. S., to open its doors for the beginning of another school term in the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' three, we entered as Freshmen. Everybody, even the teachers, were surprised at the intelligence of the Freshman class. We as Freshmen came into the class with one object in view that of living down the names of “Freshie” and “Greenie.” However, we learned that only by studying would we be able to outlive those stigmatizing epithets. We hold these truths to be selFevident: that in the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' three, Virginia High School acquired a new principal. His cooperation throughout these four years has been cheerfully and willingly given and we pay our homage to him. That in the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' three we were very much elated over the undefeated football games of the season. We were always ready to show our school spirit with the rest. In the year Nineteen Hundred and ThirtyTour this intelligent group of Freshmen became Sophomores. This new step made us feel as if we were climbing higher in the school world. Of course, when this change came, we were more enthusiastic in the school activities as we were then on the third floor — the land of privilege. We were voted into some of the school clubs, among these were: the Public Speaking Club, the Dramatic Club, the Glee Club, the Commer ' cial Club, and the Science Club. That in the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' five, we became Juniors. We thought this a great honor, and indeed it was. Of course, we felt very important and took things in a more serious manner. In this, our Junior year, we had the pleasure of giving the Seniors the traditional banquet. There was only one desire left — that of becoming Seniors. Now that we have attained our seniority, we see that the term Senior is a kind of illusion — in the sense that it still beckons us to greater things- -yet it stands for much, and we feel that we measure up to its meaning. In this year we have done our best work and have received a true vision of the future. We, the Senior Class of 1937, do hereby humbly submit the facts of the case, and it is our hope that they will qualify us for graduation from this great institution. These facts are sub ' mitted in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' seven. — Teressa Rader. Page 21
