Van Alstyne High School Van Alstyne, Texas Diann Ireland—Editor Martha Robinson—Assoc. Editor Mrs. Deborah Nance—Sponsor 2 The 1979-80 Paw is dedicated to Mrs. Deborah K. Nance. SUCCESS? He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it; whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction. If I can stop one heart from breaking. I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain. Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain; —Emily Dickinson In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in doing good to their fellow men. 3 Dear Van Alstyne High . . . of Panthers fame . . . l l e have learned to love respect you . . honor your name . . . 5 To ideals we'll be true . . your spirits fine . . . 6 Well do our BEST . . . for V.A.H.S. . . nineteen SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Sherman Taylor A foundation of good sense, and a cultivation of learning, are required to give a seasoning to retirement, and make us taste its blessings.—Dryden Thank you for 12 years.

It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand. It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask GOD for a GIFT, be thankful if he sends, Not diamonds, pearls or riches. but the love of REAL TRUE FRIENDS! True friends are important to all people. This book is filled with memories of events that may never pass your way again. We hope that someday you will be able to look back and remember all those friends who helped make your school days at Van Alstyne High School more enjoyable.

WE INVITE YOU TO WORSHIP WITH US SAVING TIPS on electric ranges 1. When using top-of-range utensils, cover tightly and cook with minimum of water. Cooking's faster; less energy's used Food looks and tastes better, too. 2. Use flat-bottomed utensils for best contact with heating surface. Use proper size utensils. A 6 pan on an 8 heating surface wastes energy. 3. Preheat oven only when needed and only to temperature stated. Normal preheat is 10 minutes; any longer wastes energy. 4 When broiling, do not preheat. Leave door ajar... air circulation insures proper broiling. 5. Use oven fully. Fill it with foods that cook at same temperature. Freeze extras for later use. 6. Center pans in from oven sides, staggered above each other (no overlap) for best heat distribution. 7. Keep oven shut. Opening door drops temperature 25c or more; wastes energy. 8. Thaw frozen meats before cooking 9. Do not use oven or surface heating elements for home heating. 10. Turn range off immediately when finished. Conserve electricity and you help conserve one or more of the fuels needed to produce it. Conserve fuels and you help assure that there will be enough to meet essential needs for electricity in the future. If you would like additional information on conserving electricity, call the Customer Service Representative in the TP L Office.
