Educ VHS has seen a lot of changes in educa- tion during the past year; namely the introduction of new classes and teachers and changing old names of classes to new names. The music department has had some delightful changes. The band has a new, energetic director, Mr. Vukmanich. And the orchestra was lucky enough to get an experienced teacher who is familiar to all — Mr. Geary. ‘‘Life isn’t all beer and games, but beer and games, or something of the same sort, must form a good part of everyone’s education.” Thomas Hughes We’ve witnessed a few changes in the sophomore biology and history classes. No longer do sophomores have to take the full year general biology course. VHS now of- fers a half semester of the required princi- ples of biology and the next semester the students have their choice. The courses offered are microbiology, genetics, physi- ology, horticulture, and ecology. Juniors and seniors are also taking advantage of these biology courses. They find them helpful in future careers, as well as fun and interesting.

In our school there are many people of all kinds, shapes, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Even though all these people differ from one another, every one of them has one particular trait in com- mon; determination. This quality is evident in their various endeavors. Whether it be to excel in an acedemic course or to achieve a victory in competitive sports. The possession of this quality is extremely important. “I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch; and I will be heard.” William Lloyd Garrison It leads to the formation of a very important practice; the ability to set a goal for oneself and then to strive to one’s utmost to accomplish this goal. This, in turn, will lead to the betterment of the individual. In order to survive in the world today, a person must be determined to continually better himself through his ac- complishments. In that way, he will be- come an asset to society rather than a hindrance.
