Penny Irwin And we danced . . . Students enjoy danc- ing to the popular tunes provided by a guest Dj at the Homecoming Dance. Events that made the students' lives more worthwhile ong sandy beaches. The sun warm- ing your back as you lie there dreaming of that special someone or maybe just catching up on some Z's. This is the blissful scene of which many students were a part until that first day of this legendary year. Summer activities were just the begin- ning of that story of heroes. Students made not only the regular school activities legen- dary but also the extra-curricular and out- side activities. One special event which held many legend-making thrills was Homecoming '86, Not only did the Vandals live up to the winning tradition, but there was also the usual crowning of a Homecoming Queen. This year she was Senior Lisa Powell who was crowned in the pouring rain, Along with the traditional activities was the Luau dance sponsored by the Stu- dent Council. This year's parties beat the heck out of all the parties in the past, junior Kelleah Gossett said. Not only was the Luau a success, but all dances sponsored by the Student Council this year were unmatched by any school dances before. Living up to past legends was the spring production of Dark of the Moon, which also went to UIL One-Act Play competition. Actors and actresses were not the only ones in the spotlight, UIL literary achievers provided their chapter in this legendary year. They were very successful at every meet they attended. Students made history wherever they went, whether they met new people on a fun outing to Tyler or just learned to ap- preciate their friends by a campfire. My friends and I go to Tyler and have fun, Freshman April Geddie said. We like to go to Mazzio's to eat pizza and then go see a movie. As the year drew to a close, friends spent more and more time together, especially as seniors spent senior day together sharing the joyful friendships which had been theirs for so long. As the end of the year came, graduation was the final chapter in the legend, but the memories will remain as one remembers that the students at VHS were always LIV- ING A LEGEND.
