Although we all went to the same high school, we each walked away with a unique experience. For some of us, our best memories were made on the court or field. For others, it was spending time with friends on the weekends or your conversations at the lunch table that made Versailles High School so memorable. However we choose to remember our high school years, there are a few things that every past and present VHS student will recognize. Keep reading for 15 signs that you went to Versailles High School!
Yes, I’m talking about those ridiculous Hawaiian shirts the boys wear on Fridays and all seniors wear to mark the beginning or end of the school year. This has become a solid, long-lasting tradition thanks to graduating classes from the old high school (if you would like a lesson on the history of VHS peacocks, please ask Mrs. Hoying).
Even if you haven’t had the pleasure of having Mr. Gregg Niekamp as your math teacher, you’ve still probably heard this. If you had him, you definitely read this in his voice. Also, you may have been threatened with a McDonald’s application for a poor performance on a test.
But a 1 hour delay? No problem. And forget about getting a cancellation. I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard, “We’re the only school in Darke County at school today.”
Versailles High School athletes are extremely successful. Why? Because we belong to the best conference in Ohio, the MAC. So we always play the best competition before playoffs/tournament. Whether it be our cross country team, our basketball team, or our baseball team, at least one sport a year makes it to Columbus.
PANAMA!!!!!!!
Say goodbye to your double chicken nuggets when you’re in the hole – she’ll pick them up with her bare hands and throw them away.
And yet still somehow manage to get in the school before the doors lock.
But it was worth it. So worth it.
Although by senior year we learned to tune out the announcements, nobody missed this famous line read over the speakers before proms and homecomings.
Ah yes, the infamous backyard rivalry (a note to current VHS students: don’t forget the theme for this game is ALWAYS green out!!!!).
Somehow a few of us managed to find a way around the administration block… with the consequence of getting yourself blocked from everything besides Google Docs.
This question comes up a lot during junior and senior year. Although our grading scale is tougher than most schools, we don’t have the traditional one valedictorian/one salutatorian. Getting a 4.0 earns you a speech on graduation day, no matter how many “straight A” students there are.
Was it actually chicken? Probably not. But it was still good.
Equipped with unique modes of transportation and peacocks (and double braids for the girls), we were ready to take on our final day of high school.
Nothing beats painting up and going all out for the themes on Football Fridays. Also, “tigerball” is the appropriate response to all things good.
