However, some people like Nancy Heater, Garrett Kratzig, and Joe Folse indulg in three hours of serious work. THAT'S MY BALL-Mike Kocian and Curtis Roth have a mad hassle for the ball, as VHites and Stingaree fans continued to enioy basketball dur- ing January. TEAQHER'S PETS-Brains packed with the charac- teristic-s of personality, leadership, courtesy, par- ticipation in extracurricular activities, and depend- ability secured for I5 seniors and tive iuniors the honors of Who's Who in VHS. Chosen were Janet Albrecht, Richard Beller, Eileen Copley, Sue Dua sek, Gay Gilbert, Nancy Hartman, Janie Johnson, Linda Lentg, Ann McCauley, Cora Jo Moore, Bob Otey, Cecil Parker, Angeline Pok, Carole Riggs, Diego Roias, Ann Smith, Jerry Smith, Phoebe Tal- ly, Pat Tipton, and Anthony Wilhelm. Basketball and January first didn't mix together in Stingland. The Stingarees dropped six big games in January, most of them by an extremely narrow gin. Julius Zatopek, Diego Roias and John Newton managed however, to make the game more exciting to all Sting spectators with their high point totals haps the most exciting game was when Jefferson nosed out Victoria in a sudden death overtime playoff. Victoria was ahead most of the game, but coming the third quarter Jeff closed the gap: and with the help of two overtimes, Jeff pulled the game out of the bag. Twenty members of the student body were named to the halls ot Who's Who in VHS, an honor bestowed by the faculty. The fifteen seniors and live iuniors Janet Albrecht, Richard Beller, Eileen Copley, Gay Gilbert, Janie Johnson, Linda Lentz, Ann McCauley, Cecil Parker, Angeline Polk, Diego Roias, Ann Smith, Smith, Phoebe Tally, Pat Tipton, Anthony Wilhelm, Sue Ann Dusek, Nancy Hartman, Cora Jo Moore, Bob Otey and Carole Riggs. Although January was extremely warm, as tar as cold rnonths go, several boys could be seen walking around wearing bright red iackets, with a white tached to it. As everyone knows, this garment was the prized football letterman'S iacket. Also as an atterthough to football, Larry Sanders and Lawerence McElroy were given state recognition by the Texas Sports Writers Association, Sanders on the first team. Kay Lentz represented Victoria High School in the Nazareth Academy Coronation, and was escorted by Larry Teel. She was chosen by a faculty committee. Students of VHS contributed wholeheartedly to the March of Dimes Drive which began January 8, Traditionally THE VICTORIAN sponsored the drive. To that each student had supported this worthy cause, each contributor received a miniature plastic crutch. Mid-terrn exams hit VHites like a sledge hamrr-er, and many gallons of midnight o'I burned brightly lighting the pages of learning to be done. Mr. Norwood was in somewhat of a frenzy. Prom time was approaching and the untouchable iuniors were hard at work on Rhapsody in Blue. So January ended with the iuniors hard at work and the seniors eagerly awa'tT-ig the big night of the Junior-Senior Prom. . .

it W 4' JI' SECOND CHILDHOOD?-Mr. George Lipscomb and Mrs. Mariorie Vickers, like all of VHS, really enioy the white won- der that so seldom reaches Victoria. WATCH YOUR FINGERS-Linda Lentz, one ot the candidates tor membership in the Na- tional Honor Society, caretul'v lights her candle as part ofthe initiation ceremony. Sfelrruary is Snowy lights keflevf Feor..a',f in Victoria High School is tirst like February in any other high school-confused, To start February otf with a boom, the Anchor Club held its annual style show tryouts. As usual the Anchor Club will not let the male sex participate in the tryouts. Some clubs just don't appreciate menl A ' February also marked the close ot the Stinqarettes' basketball season. The boys had a pretty rough season but the Stingarettes finished third in their district. All ot us Stings are proud ofthe tine sportsmanship and thrills both teams gave us during February. Junior-Senior Reception-Prom highlighted the month with the theme Rhapsody in Blue done up beautitully. lt was a terrific success, thanks to the hard work- ing iuniors. This year's Prom might even be the most beautiful ever presented to a senior class: well, the iuniors seem to think so. I I VHS lost one head coach and gained a new one in the month of February. Coach Gordon Wood resigned his post as head football coach and athletic director at Stingland in order to accept a similar position at Brownwood. Coach Torn Pruett, ottensive coach at Baylor, almost immediately was elected to take Coach Woods post. The student body was sorry to see Coach Wood go, also sorry to see Coach Morris Southall, Sting's backtield coach and line coach Paul Alley leave. Sandy Hamon was elected by the Victoria Stingaree Basketball Team to be its i960 Basketball Sweetheart. The team not only crowned Sandy that night, but rney also crowned Edison to win their last game. Whether or not Sandy iinxed the Bears we do not know, but she surely made a pretty sweetheart. Much to the delight ot everyone, February ushered in Stunt Night. That was the night the students got their long awaited revenge on their teachers: in fact, many a teacher was seen blushing as a result ot the Key Club Skit which was presented. Future Teachers of America journeyed to Denton tor their state meet during this rronth. Nancy Morrison captured honors for Victoria when she was elected to the post oi Historian tor the State FTA. A Jon Bryson continued his never-ending achievements on the National Merit Scholarstrp Tests during February. lf Jon keeps up at his present rate, VHS might pro- duce a new Albert Einstein. Mrs. Mariorie Vickers, VHS's Assistant Principal, was named Victor'a's Senior Citizen during the month of February. She received the award at the annual Chann- be' ot Commerce banquet held in the school cafeteria. A National Honor Society Initiation was presented during this busy month. All the brahs ot VHS were given pins and certificates during a very impressive cere- mony performed during an all school assembly. V'cto'ia High was also proud to announce the great honor ot TALA iTexas Association ot Library Assistantsl Treasurer which was bestowed upon one of VHS's honor roll students . . .Jim McCoy. Jim was elected to this ottice at the annual state convention held in Galveston during this month. News was outl The Journalisrn department was finally out ot deep water, they now could see landl Yes, the VHS Journalism department sponsored the concession stand at the regional basketball playofts held here and managed well, this month. W'tn the whole mob of people attending they were sure to do some good. March ot Dimes sponsored a g'gant'c record hop at the Jaycee Hall during this month. The dance was an endeavor to raise money. for the cause. All VHS Jour- lsm I students, in order to p'o'cote this year's drive sold ads to be presented as commercials on Radio KVIC.
