Not only did they teach us the fundamentals, but many strived to help the students grow as individuals. Dealings with the students could be a very challenging ordeal at times. Often, one never knew what a student might say or do. Being alert was one of the keys to survival practiced by teachers. The office secretaries were also faced with difficult tasks such as trying to distribute lunch tickets to the mass of students at noon on Mondays. It seemed as though everyone waited until the last minute to buy their ticket. Absentees could also be a trying experience Three weeks after returning to school from an absence, a student might finally remember that he had to get an admit slip. The teachers did not have life nearly so easy as some students thought. They may have made life miserable for the students by assigning multitudes of homework, but they were the ones who had to grade it. VHS was made unique by caring faculty members. One often felt that the teachers and other staff members cared for them as an individual rather than as just another student. Such an attitude sometimes proved to be more conducive to learning than the books. 1 Mrs. Dtcus dreads her grading of typing papers. 2 Mrs Henderson is running busy as usual. 28 faculty

Hats Off To Cooks And Custodians Jamtors-l. Loren Boatright. 2. John Lunsford. Jack Pifer. Cooks row 1 Mable Chiles. Marva Hutchison. Bea Bennett. Lorene Barton row 2. Gwen Blankenship.

Although they worked laboriously for the students, the cooks and janitors never seemed to receive any recognition or gratitude from the many students whose days were made easier by their services. Daily, the cooks were at school bright and early to begin the massive task of preparing lunches for over 1000 students and faculty. They worked continually until the long line of hungry people were fed and cleaning completed. They continued working making any preparations for the next day. The |anitors seemed to be at the school 24 hours a day. Always cleaning or repairing something, the work of the |ani- tors was a continuous one. Although little emphasis seemed to be placed on the importance of the cooks and janitors, they were just a few of the many people the school could not have func- tioned without.
