JAlloween Halloween was a success this year. One week before Halloween, the school buzzed with talk of costumes and party plans. The most common costumes this year appeared to be the Raggedy Ann-Raggedy Andy type. However, animals, witches, ghouls, and other imaginative creatures abounded to break the monotony of school and to make Halloween a fun time for all. Good times were not only enjoyed by cos- tumed students, but also by the people attend- ing J.A. Lots of work was again a natural part of the J.A. experience. But students found that when they were with friends, work could be fun. Meeting on Monday and Wednesday evenings with radio broadcasts on Saturdays, Junior Achievement taught students about so- ciability as well as business. J.A. was only one of the many fun and interesting extra-curricu- lar activities students at VHS could explore. 1. Front Row: W.LaVigne, M. Novak, M. Glinsek, B Hendrickson, S. Pylkka, R. Culbert, S.

VHS’ers Get Around Each week day between 8:00 and 8:30 a m. students are seen coming to school. How do they get there? The modes of transportation are as varied as the students themselves. Some students walk or ride their bikes, others take the bus, and still others drive their own cars. Because of a slightly different bus schedule this year, first hour classes were started at 8:30 rather than the previous time of 8:25 to enable bus students to make it to their first classes on time. Most stu- dents — whether they rode a bus or not — like this idea since it allowed them to sleep five min- utes later each morning. But transpotation is not only important as a means of getting to school and leaving again at 3:20 p.m. It is also essential for almost every extra-curricular activity. From traveling to an away football game to “cruising the main drag,” transportation is a necessity for most VHS’ers. The special care given a new car or the up-keep on a used van promote pride in each owner and contribute to make various modes of transporta- tion status symbols as well as necessities. 16 TRANSPORTATION

We’ve Got What It Takes Homecoming 1976, planned by the Student Council this year, was an interesting combina- tion of the old and the new. Streamers and murals were once again attached to the walls and ceilings of the main hall by Student Con- gress members and other energetic students. On Monday, the traditional search to find the hidden devil began, as did the float construc- tions. Tuesday, donned Walter Mitty Day,” witnessed the dressing up of students as they dreamed they would some day be. And for a new effect, many students dressed like their friends on Wednesday’s “Dress Alike Day,” while others participated in the annual egg toss contest. A sense of adventure pervaded the atmosphere on Thursday as sophomore and junior girls clashed with senior girls in a power puff football game in which the 0-0 score did little justice in describing the rough- ness of the game. Friday, Blue and White Day,” was highlighted by the coronation of Danita Tassi and Perry Lofquist. That evening brought the annual rat pack, paraded, and halftime presentation by the marching band. For the second year in a row, the class of ’78 was awarded first place for their “We Pan-da Win” float. And despite the snow and bitter cold, the Devils fulfilled the theme by scoring a resounding 19-0 victory over Chisholm to end an exciting Homecoming week. 18 HOMECOMING
