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.
