School began in the fall with a sparkle of excitement as the VHS boys in football uniforms dashed upon the field. The team playing their best at each game, Homecoming in October was the climax of the season. Adding both warmth and beauty to the stadium, the nomi- nees for Homecoming queen paraded upon the field. In the sus- pense of the moment, a hush fell over the crowd as the girls were announced. The final moment had arrived! Chosen by the stu- dent body, Peggy Haller was proclaimed queen. Rosie Aber- nathy and Delayne Wallace were Maids of Honor. Other exciting events of the fall season were initiations, held by such clubs as the National Honor Society. Costumed recruits paraded down the halls performing stunts and “good deeds,” much to their dismay and others’ delight. It was the rush season for club joining of all kinds, with the year’s activities getting swiftly underway. For seniors, fall meant the beginning of the end and being awarded such long-awaited privileges as being allowed to eat off campus. For juniors, it meant beginning their preparations for college by taking the PSAT and attending College Day. For teach- ers it meant back to lesson plans and paper grading and supervis- ing all these bustling activities. Fall at VHS is indeed a hectic, but very wonderful time. In October thirteen girls were presented to the student body as the Homecoming Court. 9
