I. T. Unit as freshmen. As freshmen we chose a double set of class officers to guide us through our first year at V. I. T. Wanda Wherley and Jeannette Atwater were presidents; Richard Southwood and Wanda Hollenback were our vice-presidents. Barbara Danner and Patricia Waters were our secretaries; Harvey Brinton and Phyllis Robertson served as treasurers; Dean Hulvey was our class reporter, and our Student Council representatives were: Martha Jane Mercer, Gale Tingley, Doris Nunn, and Donald Young. Our advisors were Mrs. Albro, Mr. White, and Mr. Rademacker. We started our year's activities with a party in the gym. We were the second highest in magazine selling. In the Senior-sponsored stunt night we entered with an act called The Fashion Show and won first place. We made $142.18 for our class treasury by selling Christmas cards. In the fall of '48 we came back to school as sophomores and we elected a new set of officers and had some new advisors. Our officers were Betty Waters, president, Patricia Waters, vice-president; Margaret Graham, secretary; Harvey Brinton, treasurer; Dean Hulvey, reporter; Jeanette Atwater and Richard Bilbrey as Student Council representatives. Our advisors were Mrs. Garner and Mr. Heldreth, the first semester with Mr. Young serving for the second semester. A new coke machine was installed this year and the sophomores had charge of it and received all the proceeds. Members of the class were active in sports, music and all other activities throughout the year. We started our junior year with an industrious group of students. Our president was Margaret Graham; Bill Seals, vice-president; Phyllis Robertson, secretary; Harvey Brinton, treasurer. Our class advisor was Mr. Payne assisted by Mrs. Stoops, Mrs. Davis and Mr. Hawthorne. In school activities the class was well represented in band, chorus, sports, and declamation. Wanda Wherley and Jeannette Atwater served on the cheer leading s quad this year. We entered a float in the homecoming parade; it featured a guillotine slicing' Avon. We handled the concession stand at the basketball games at Camp Ellis. Our class play, Those Websters , a three act comedy, was given November 17 and 18. A group stunt, Circus Parade”, was entered in the Variety Show February 17 and won second prize. Profits from the above activities bolstered our treasury in preparation for the annually sponsored Junior-Senior Prom held in honor of the seniors on May 11, with a Hawaiian theme. IS Class History (con't.) We started our last year at V. I. T. with 34 members but 1 ost Gary Roberts, Donald Young, and Don Ridenour to the armed services. Our president was Bill Seals; Richard South-wood, vice-president; Martha Jane Mercer, secretary; Harvey Brinton, treasurer. Our advisor was Mrs. Davis. As a class motto we chose Pull Up The Anchor, Our Goal is Beyond ; our class colors are red and white; and our class flower is a red rose. We started the year with a bang by initiating the freshmen. During the football season we ran the concession stands. Jeannette Atwater and Dean Hulvey, both seniors, were elected King and Queen of Homecoming by the student body. We had a big bonfire and pep rally the night before the game and a chili supper in the Hot Lunch Building. Afterward we saw a movie in the gym. We worked hard to finish our float for the parade which was held in the afternoon, and journeyed from Ipava, to Vermont, and then on through Table Grove to the high school. In the evening our Homecoming dance was presided over by the King and Queen. Everyone danced to the orchestra of Jimmy Gaylord. Wanda Wherley and Jeannette Atwater were cheerleaders and the seniors were well represented in spor t s . Our Senior play was Desperate Ambrose and it was presented November 16 and 17. On April 20th, we were guests at the Junior-Senior Prom, given in our honor by the Juniors. Seniors ERNESTINE EASLEY F. H. A. 3, Chorus 1, Annual Staff 4, Class Play Usher 4, Speech 1.

After 10 years of hill-country several changes have taken place in the lives of the former V. I. T. students. Gale Tingley has taken over the job of Old Man Mose and predicts the future of his friends. Jeannette Atwater and Dean Hulvey are settled down in a quiet nook up in the mountains with twelve little mountaineers tagging behind. Pat Waters and Lois Horwedel are waiting in a lonely spot on a far away mountain for Uncle Sam to return Don and Bob home safely. Barbara Danner spends most of her time sitting on a mountain peak with a bottle of moonshine in each hand. Harvey Brinton, as always, is still taking bottle after bottle of Hadacol for his Paynes”. Although Bill Seals is different in dress and hails from Yale, where he is a coach, he is just a mountaineer at heart. The Wolf gal, Doris Nunn, is still roaming the mountain side with a man-eating look in her eye. Phyllis Robertson,, after ten years of coon hunting and no success, has come to the mountains with her famous coon dog Ja--ke to hunt wildcats. Mary Bowman and Marilyn Fordyce, although still very quiet girls, always enjoy themselves in the Sadie Hawkins Day race. Robert Vaughn hasn't given up the idea of owning a night club. It isn’t as distinguished as those in the cities but it serves the purpose of those Saturday night get-togethers. Wanda Hollenback is just as Boob----y now as she ever was from mooning over how blue the Ski----les are up in the mountains. Robert Goodin has taken up the profession of taming wild boars for the show circuit. Dorla Baker has her two sets of twins and is married to a wealthy bootlegger. Gary Roberts couldn't be here as he has the s ituation well in hand serving with the Marines in Australia, but he sent his contribution to the Dogpatch Zoo—a duck-billed platypus. Emmalou Tyler and her husband are trying to make a go of selling Fords but way up hyar we don't know how to manipulate these new fangled machines. 2.L Senior Prophecy Don Chenoweth wasn't too happy about giving up his Packard and moving to the mountains but Marilyn convinced him that he should live with the rest of his kinfolk. Since Forrest Kliendenst made his millions farming, he has become a second Rip Van Winkle. All he does is sleep and keep the flies off his nose. Wanda Wherley isn't getting any younger but after ten years she is still building Cassels in the air. Delores Derry and Bernard have a little shack all of their own and thirteen of the cutest red-heads this side of the mountains. Betty Sexton lives in 'Tatorbug Junction with her twins, Wildrose and Rosebud. Phillip Groff and Carroll Oliver have developed an insecticide to kill turnip termites and they have persarved so many turnips that they each weigh 350 pounds. Professor Richard Southwood is visiting his friends of the mountains. Leslie Woodruff, who was always just a little scared of school is hiding behind a tree. J. B. Carithers is running a kickapoo refinery. Donald Young is his assistant; he does the tasting . Don Ridenour is back from serving with the Airbourne troops and is leader of the Coys. He has challenged the Martins to a battle. Viola Melvin with her large family always takes a little leezer time to come to watch our annual affair, the Sadie Hawkins Race. Martha Mercer is quite a prominent person at Dogpatch, although she can't understand how she got here in these Far-rar away places unless she was blown here by a Gale . Ernestine Easley always said she would be an old maid and sure enough she is. Margaret Graham is another prominent person. She was our great horse doctor but since she developed a new linament that the mountaineers use internally, she's running Hadacol out of business. LAST,rW|LL AMD TESTAMENT K y X.

Director Shirley Heath He's here again-that impish Inner Willy whom Author Bettye Knapp delightfully characterized in The Inner Willy. This time he's off to college — relentlessly goading poor Willoughby into becoming a man. Of course Willoughby needs just that sort of character around. Having led a sheltered life with his three maiden aunts, he'd become about as spineless a creature as ever there was. In the college dorm, he's the one who makes the beds and lends the money and clothes (until he hasn't even a pair of trousers to wear when his aunts arrive to visit). That is, until Inner Willy materializes. Then gradually - very gradually and painfully - Willoughby begins to act like a man. Willoughby has the makings of an athlete, a star football player; but he insists that he comes from a long line of .fainters”. And besides, there's always the danger of a smashed nose and broken bones and all. His three aunts agree; they even decide college life is too strenuous for their frail boy and insist that he return to the home town. And he would have gone, too! But there is a certain blonde - a college newspaper reporter, no less - who tries to encourage Willoughby to stay and become a hero. The college rooters, too, put the pressure on him; and of course there's Inner Willy, who twits and tortures the poor fellow with jibes like: Water on the knees, you know. The family tree had weak limbs. Small wonder then that Willoughby finally decides to stand up to his aunts and announce that he's going to stay and play football. Even those doubtful demures are happy when they see how striking Willoughby looks in a football suit. Most wonderful of all is pretty, blonde Sally's reaction - well ... not quite as wonderful as Inner Willy's disappearing act when he sees that the outer Willy has shed his shackles at last! 2B PRESIDENT: SECRETARY: Monte Welker VICE-PRESIDENT: Joby Alvadj (Not in picture) -Sophomore Officers Mary Darling TREASURER: Carolyn Barkley , n s made up the Sophomore Class who was well represented in sports, band and declamation.

Wendlandt Advisor Richard Southwood President o Harvey Brinton Vice-President ✓ I Leo Burks Secretary Through the efforts of the high school newspaper staff, a student council was again organized this year. At first a temporary council was made up of the class officers of the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes until elections could be held. First the temporary council chose four candidates from the senior class for the position of president. Those who were chosen were: Bill Seals, Richard Southwood, Harvey Brinton, and Margaret Graham. Then a primary election was held and the two highest out of this election had one week to campaign and at the end of the week a campaign speech and the final election was held. Margaret Graham and Richard Southwood won in the primaries and Richard Southwood won the presidency. At the same time that the election for the president was held, the classes and organizations elected their representatives to the council. Each class elected two representatives and each organization elected one representative. The student body chose the form of student government that was formerly used in V. I. T. two years ago, the last time V. I. T. had a student council. This year the V. I. T. Student Council enrolled in the National Association of Student Councils. The student council also engineered several projects during the school year. Some of these projects were four all-school parties, a Christmas program, supervision of the typing room during free periods, and helped with the noon hour program. 37 (Left to Right) Top Row-Southwood, Atwater, Waters, Danner, Seals, Nunn.

Eleven seniors made up the staff and all but one was a journalism student. She was Martha Jane Mercer, who helped type stencils. During the course of the school the staff welcomed editorials other than those written by the staff. A student voice column, The Inquiring Reporter , was a regular column in the paper. A student council was formed as a result of an editorial put in the VIT-al News which came through the efforts of the paper staff. Other regular columns in the paper were DBD and From the Mail Box. The DBD was carried on by Don Ridenour, Dean Hulvey, and Bill Seals. Doris Nunn collected bits of interesting news from other high school papers to make up the column From the Mail Box . 38 Top Row (L. to R.)

Carithers........Stage coach driver SYNPOSIS: Here is the rootin'est, tootin'est, funniest satire on the old West to gallop across a stage. Now it all started when Ambrose Groves and Bert Miller, a couple of would-be vaudeville comedians, were crossing the desert, headin' Californy way. But right out in the middle of said desert, they were booted off of the train and onto their own, cause someone had picked their pockets-the pockets where their tickets and all of their money was. So picking themselves up, they start trudging across the desert, and in a couple of days they blow into Dead Man's Gulch, the wildest, the woolie'st, the roughest spot in the whole west, where blood flows like old Faithful. Now it so happens that Homer the Kid and his pal, Gun Smoke Carter, the two most hard-shooten, hard-riden, cow-pokes whatever straddled a saddle were expected to breeze into town any moment, to quiet the shootin'. So when Ambrose and Bert hobble in, they are mistaken for the West's most fearless cowpunchers, and look what happens to them! Ambrose is taken for the hero, Homer the Kid, and from there on out, it's a knockdown on the stage, and a dragout of laughs from the audience, cause bungling Ambrose, hero Ambrose, winds up by doing everything opposite from what the cowpunchers union calls for. He gets everything in a terrible state and he doesn't get the goods on the crooked sheriff; he's completely beaten and soundly trounced by Hoot Owl Pete; and he's practically hung by Stinkweed. He doesn't get the heroine, Nancy, either. But he does get things in the most devastating mess. This year, V. I. T. has had a very capable Library Staff.

You can take it from us, he's quite handy, And whenever there's anything to be done We all go to Landy on the run. Finding him—that's another matter. You can hunt for him till you're worn to a tatter. He fixes our desks and sweeps the floor, After we come in, he sweeps some more. He has worked in our school eight years, But complaints about him, one seldom hears. He's oh so proud of his ole Ford car, But he'll pick up your gloves wherever they are; And save them until you quite remember That you lost them way back in December. When out of doors the north winds storm, He does his best to keep us warm. So thank you, Landy, for all you've done To help us attain the goal we've won. 5 5 Assembly was called September 22, to let the students select the 1950-51 cheerleaders.

Football Team ended its season with a record of six wins and three defeats. Four of the games were played on the local gridiron and five were played outside the local area. The Hornets won four out of six of their conference games and this gave them a third place position in the Olympic Conference. Getting the season off to a flying start, V. I. T. took three straight victories; Valley High of Fair view 40 to 7, Northwestern of Blandinsville 20 to 12, and Bushnell 20 to 7. Lewistown handed us our first defeat of the season, on the home gridiron, 20 to 6. The Hornets received their second defeat at Elmwood, as the strong Elmwood team dropped the Hornets 38 to 14. This was V. I. T.'s worst defeat of the entire season. Next the Hornets were slated against Unity High of Mendon for the V. I. T. homecoming. The Hornets emerged victorious as they romped over Unity 31 to 0. It was back on the road for the rest of the season and with three games remaining to be played. The last three games were also under the lights. First the Hornets met the Avon Trojans at Avon's homecoming and defeated the Trojans 47 to 0. V. I. T. received their third and final defeat of the season as the Cuba Cardinals downed the Hornets 13 to 0. The Hornets ended their season at Astoria and won by a score of 20 to 13. The graduating letter men for the'50-'51 year are Gale Tingley, J. B. Carithers, Bill Seals, Harvey Brinton, Don Young, Don Chenoweth, Dean Hulvey, Richard Southwood, Don Ridenour. The returning letter men are Darrell Lasswell, Marcus Cox, Bob Hulvey, Gordon Alvadj, Norman Miller, Buster Jones, Phil Sexton, Jim Ladd, Bob Seals, Leo Burks, and John Burgard. The V. I. T. Stingers opened their football season against Cuba and romped over the boys from Cuba 21 to 6. The following three games were not quite as successful and the Stingers were beaten by Bushnell 12 to 9, Farmington 6 to 0, and Lewistown 26 to 0. The Stingers next game was against the Avon ”B squad and the Stingers won over Avon 19 to 0. The next two games were played against Industry-Adair and the Stingers lost both of these games. As the football season went by, several of the players on the Stingers squad were promoted to the first team leaving mostly freshmen and sophomore boys on the B” squad. This gave the underclassmen a better opportunity to play and this should pay off for V. I. T. in the future. loO Kneeling L. to R. : Coach Wendlandt, Bob Smith, Richard Southwood, Don Ridenour, Bob Hulvey, Phil Sexton, Bill Seals. Back Row, L. to R.: Roy VanFossen, Gordon Alvadj, Leo Burks, Dean Hulvey, Norman Miiw The V. I. T. Hornets ended their 1950-51 basketball season with 4 wins and 14 losses. During this seemingly poor season the Hornets proved that they could play good basketball, and there were several Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen that received valuable experience. Several of these games were lost by a small margin. Probably the best showings that the Hornets made were against Astoria and Bushnell. In the first game of the season the Hornets defeated Astoria 31 to 29, and then later on they won over this same Astoria team 49 to 46. This is an accomplishment after considering some of the good teams that Astoria has beaten. The Hornets defeated a good Bushnell squad by a 10 point margin. The graduating letter winners are: Bill Seals, Richard Southwood and Dean Hulvey. Returning 1 ette r m e n are: Roy Van Fossen, Leo Burks, Norman Miller, Phil Sexton, Bob Smith, and Bob Seals.

Stingers had a 11-8 record at the end of the 1950-51 season. The Stingers always gave the opposition a hard game even in defeat. The greatest accomplishment of the year came when the Stingers won the Fulton County B Tournament at Lewistown. They met Avon In the first round and out fought them 47-27. The competition became stiffer as they advanced up the ladder to first place. The next two games were with Farmington and Valley. The Stingers took these two games by the score of 40-38 and 40-35 respectively. The Stingers have some of the best basketball material in V. I.T. history. Jim Ladd paced the Stingers with a total of 202 points for the year. Jack Shoff and Bob Seals were two more of V. I. T. 's sparkplugs.

In the last three years our Stingers have won 2 first place trophies and one 3rd place. Spring Sports 1950 BASEBALL In baseball the Hornets did not come out so good. While playing 7 games the Hornets only won one game. The game that they won was with Astoria, a great rival and a good baseball club. The Hornets scored 9 runs to Astoria's 3. Although this was the only game won by the Hornets it was a fine display of baseball. TRACK The V. I. T. Thinclads ended their 1949-50 season with a very impressive record. The Hornets competed in 5 track meets and they did very well in all of them. The first meet of the year came with V. I. T. pitted against Lewistown and Cuba in a tri-meet. V. I. T. placed second in this meet and almost everyone on the squad received ribbons. In some of the other track meets, V. L T. won over Avon in a dual meet by the score of 76 1 2 to 36 1 2, in a dual meet with Astoria, V. I. T. also placed first. In the Fulton County meet the Hornets missed a 3rd place trophy by a very small margin. The last track meet of the season was the Olympic Conference in which V. I. T. placed third and as a result of this they brought home a very nice trophy. The Hornets also won the traveling trophy, given to the winner of the varsity relay team in the conference meet. This trophy will be taken back for the 1950-51 season and the Hornets will try and win it again. feH- Vl.T Unit Schools Table Grove Grades 1-4- an l Unit Office Vermont Grades 1 8 Grade Dale Kennedy Hometown: Table Grove, 111 College Attended: W.
