m EH m ....■»-.-. 'Ztcatony ??e He t e i We would like to take you back, first to 1942—that wonderful year when most of the class of 1960 became active members of the Safety-pin Set of our own V1T community. Do you recognize baby Dennis Abernathy as he enjoys a ride out in the fresh air? It was in 1942 that most of you were sending friends or loved ones off to war, and the nickelodeons were pounding out such tunes as We Did It Before and We Can Do It Again. In 1942, VIT was still Vermont, Ipava, and Table Grove, and the ground on which our lovely building stands became a part of Camp Ellis--a major project which stamped its imprint on the community and certainly had much influence on our future. Now come forward with us six short years to that wonderful year 1948. The war had been over almost three years. You could have all the sugar, butter, and gas you wanted. Cars were beginning to wear shiny chrome again, and come September, the class of 1950 skipped gaily off to school. Here's little Sherill Anderson on way to Vermont Grade School, and little Mike Hulvey on his way to Table Grove, and little Ronnie Horwedel on his way to Ipava. Oh, yes, here comes Mary and her lamb. Song hits of the year, popular with we first graders, were such as All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth. Time marches on, so now we take a look at that wonderful year 1956 when we entered high school in the building at Table Grove. Dale Malott was elected president of the class; Jim Bohannon was vice-president; Janet McFadden was secretary and treasurer; and Jack Baily and Johanna Howell became our Student Council representatives. Our class sponsors were Mrs. Clendenny and Mrs. Highes. One of the big events, for us, was Freshman Initiation. I can just see Joan Walton and Kermit Easley now. Scrub hard, kids! To the high and mighty seniors we said You ain't nothin' but a hound-dog. Now we come to that wonderful sophomore year, the year we chose Larry Waters for president; Janet McFadden was secretary and treasurer again; Sue Reneau was vice-president; Margo Rimington was reporter; and Marscha Chenoweth, George Craft, Alcinda Richmond, and Jack Baily were Student Council representatives. Did I say wonderful year?!! That was the year of the Asiatic flu epidemic. No Homecoming celebration! And do you remember scenes such as the manager giving the football boys a pill during games? We all lived, though, and hoped for a more wonderful 1958. The year 1958 was when we moved into our lovely new building. It was with some nostalgia that we left the crowded halls of our old building. How we would miss the flying snowballs and the dashes through the rain when classes passed to lunch. Our officers were Sue Reneau as president, Mike Hulvey as vice-president, Margo Remington as Secretary and treasurer, and Alcinda Richmond and Jim Bohannon as Student Council representatives. Our sponsors were Mr. Montgomery, Mrs. Montgomery, and Mrs. Hughes. Our junior class play, coached by Mrs. Baily, was The Able Miss Cain. Remember Sandy Lee in that well remembered scene as she pushed the wheel barrow for tea service. Now we come to the fall of 1959, that wonderful year that we become SENIORS! We start off the calendar of highlights with Freshman Initiation, planned under the guidance of our sponsors Mr. Vanko, Miss Garver, and Mrs.Hughes. This is the year WE get OUR shoes polished and WE administer green persimmons in large doses. Our president is Bary Fawcett; vice-president is Jim Bohannon; secretary and treasurer is Alcinda Richmond; and Student Council Representatives are Lynne Dunne and Jack Baily. This is the year Miss Brown and Mrs. Hughes convinced us we should attempt a dramatic play, and so we produced the mystery drama, The Red House Mystery. It was well received and the cast enjoyed putting it on under the capable direction of Miss Brown. We will all put May 14, 1960 down in our memory books--the Junior Senior Prom, when the royal court was ruled by Queen Johanna Howell and King Ron Horwedel. A fitting climax to our social life at VIT and that wonderful, wonderful year 1960--OUR Graduation year!! w
