Default Lookups vs Match

Hello! I am having trouble trying to create class rosters in a worksheet
using class numbers and attendee names from a different worksheet. My
attendee sheet contains attendee names in column G and their requested class
number in column H. Obviously (and hopefully) multiple attendees will
request the same class numbers so I expect multiple matches on class number.
Because of multiple sessions some attendees will not make a class request and
thus will have no value in class number. I have used the following formula
and copied it into all of the available seats for the class.
=VLOOKUP(A1,'2005 Attendees'!G2:H147,2,FALSE) What I get is the first match
repeated throughout the entire roster. From what I have been reading, this
is expected when using VLOOKUP.

My data looks like this in the Attendees sheet

Class number Attendee

1 Alford, Chuck
Evans, Jim
7 Jones, Frank
1 Pratt, Charlie
12 Smith, Bob
Sotich, Beth
1 Wiggins, Sherry

I have the class numbers for each classes roster entered in cells (A1 in
this example) in the Roster sheet. What I am hoping to get in the Roster for
Class Number 1 is:
Alford, Chuck
Pratt, Charlie
Wiggins, Sherry

What I actually get is:
Alford, Chuck
Alford, Chuck
Alford, Chuck

Suggestions will be very much appreciated!
Thanks
