Blasting on through the year, the Vandalite gathers bright, pleasant memories for us all to flash back remember and treasure for a lifetime This flight consists of seven stages similar to that of a rocket leaving parts of Itself behind as it gains altitude and climbs to higher and higher goals Van High School has its own memories but added to those the sensors and other students have left this year with its many valuable humorous and delightful thoughts which are vividly rellved throughout the pages of the 1959 VANDALITE N ,J X xx ff ..F'.! .F X j ng gnLqnq.BXX ,X ss M bw X!

The sixth grade was transferred to grade school, leaving only two grades in junior high. This year the eighth grade band students are mem- bers ofthe A band. In years before in junior high, each grade has been divided in sections, but this year they are considered co-ordinated classes, ac- cording to seventh or eighth grade classifi- cation. vice president FUTURE VANDALS The Junior high football team fm ished the season with one tie and five losses under the first year coaching of Mr Iack Mayo Front row Man ager Tommy Maxfield Donald Stewart Jerry Huff William Loving Phil Davis Roger Lo per, Edwin Clark Royse G11 breath, and Manager Mike Dickson Second row David Prather, Freddie Ayers Fred Crone, Wayne Jones D1 ane Toone, Lee Rumbelow Tommy 'K MQW' ss- i:,?iE 6 ' ' g?!?v 14 Q Wy' L .

' X S gw QM X at 3k A2 Childhood itself is scarcely more lowly than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age, quoted L. M. Child at one time. X Grade school plays a very important rolein the life of every child. It is then, with the drifting thoughts of starry-eyed children, that their minds are filled with zooming plans rocketing to higher pictures and goals which only they are capable of dreaming and imagining. Here, they tend to imitate their idols, their heroes, and here, school steps in and plays its part in imprinting its own special cue lines in their minds for their leading roles to be played later.
