Vandal Life Includes Study And Activities A fresh, new day in Van High begins with the arrival of ll buses filled with alert, fun-1ov- ing Vandals from 15 communi- ties. The two-way bus trip each day allows plenty of timeto dis- cuss the latest news and often study for that test first period. A few extra moments before classes begin are spent in gay chatter in the halls or a bit of early study in the library, The gong of the bell creates momentary confusion. T hen, V. H. S. settles down to quiet study. Oi Locker doors slam, books tumble out of over- loaded lockers, and quick greetings are exchanged in the five-minute period between classes. Shown in the familiar scene are Linda Pool, Cindy Spruiell, Gail Bynum, John Stewart, Linda Matthews, Lynel Spruiell, and Larry Edwards, Project work intersperses textbook study to make the class periods more enjoyable and pro- fitable. An example of such classroom activity is Mr, Wiley Warren's physics class, Bob Sta- ton, Jerry Percifield, and Lynn Spruiell work on their project illustrating the principle of the in- cline plane, At the back table Paul Kidd, Dan Larry Parker, Wayne Zerr, and Jerry Rhines work on their project illustrating the pulley.
