Unity in Diversity, the essence of VHS 1968 — VHS is a thousand strong A part time community for hundreds Of unique individuals Bonded together by a common goal of learning. Here dwells the devoted unity So necessary to harmonious school life, A “Unity in Diversity,” Composed of varied Personalities and backgrounds Of youths Who seek the companionship of friends And the guidance of adults. In the thirty unique minds of a classroom. In the fifty different talents of club members, In the eleven separate positions of a football squad There lies that quiet unity That makes the individual ' s efforts a success. Even in defeat and discouragement He grows in wisdom; He learns the value of cooperation. A force that will not stifle his identity But enhance his life with others. Unity and diversity . . . Two marvelous and combinable qualities Which neutralize each other. So that in school life A thousand vigorous personalities Can never lose their individuality In togetherness.
