VHS matures The south entrance of the High School as it appeared in 1 936 The ivy on the building has since been cut down An aenal view shows the VHS school building and courtyard in 1942 The brick exterior of VHS has darkened with age. but the building still holds an aura of dignity. Spanish influence is evident in the arched windows, tile roofing and the brick motif of the building Ivy no longer clings to the aged brick walls, but the small pines, once so insignificant, now tower above the walkways. Many trees have been cut down to make room for additions, as a result of an increasing enrollment. New sidewalks have been added, and because biology is now taught in the junior high schools, the greenhouse is no longer used. The south tower of VHS stands unchanged since the construction of the school in 1927 . The space in the tower is today used for storage 12
