Qealicatiom We, the class of 119416, dedicate our publis cation, the VANDALOIIS, to Mr. Albert Rode, who was our science teacher when we were freslunen. Although he was with us only one year lzneliore he was called into the Army, we will always remember him for all of his kinds nesses to us. Mr. llodle gave the supreme sacs rillce on the hattlelleldl ol: France in 119413, an unsung hero. We, ol: the 119416 graduating class, will strive to cherish and preserve the peace for which he so willingly gave his life. It is for ds the living te be dedicated heee .... 77 OUR SCHCCL B0 RD Cunningham, Washburn, Greer, McKellar, Metzger Message from Our Principal V. C. H. S., whose various activities are pictured in this book, is an institution maintained by this community for the sole purpose of developing the interests and abilities of its young people. It is the aim of the Board of Education and the Faculty to establish and execute such policies and teach- ings that will fulfill these purposes. That the community itself is always willing to cooperate in this undertaking is proven by the interest they have taken in the production of this book. The students that graduate are therefore the product of cooperative community action. The extent to which the school is successful is determined years later by the lives of outgoing students. Class of 1946, you have received your training as a result of the com- bined efforts of the community, your parents, the board of education, and your teachers. We trust that by your thoughts and actions in the years to come you will manifest the fruitfulness of our efforts. Make cooperation your way of life, use it to accomplish great things as it has been used to prepare you. This is your challenge. Work, live, and play cooperatively with your fellowmen so that this will be a better world in which to live. We extend our thanks to the staff and to the sponsor for their fine work which this book exemplifies. Best wishes, Class of 1946. We hope this book will always recall to you happy memories of your years spent with us and will always serve as an incentive to you to live your best.

C. H. S. as green little freshies. We were put off to a good start by the Sophomores who entertained us at the annual Freshman-Sophomore party in October. Under the careful guidance of our advisors, Mrs. Wells and Miss Pryor, we began to feel less awkward about our daily actions. ln spite of our troubles and our sorrows we managed to stumble through our first year as well as could be expected. During our Sophomore year we eagerly went after our activities and discovered that there really wasn't anything to be afraid of. We no longer lost our voices and shriveled up like meek little rabbits when somebody spoke to us. We encountered our tasks with zest, but we had learned by this time to think twice before volunteering for something. e249 Iessie Lou Adams Lucille Alm lean Atwood Ioe Boaz Donald Bone Gene Bone Mendell Bone Iohn Braun Ioan Brown Daniel Burtschi Maxine Carpenter Cloide Carruthers Robert Clark Robert Corless Shirley Cripe Marilou Crothers I Wayne Cunningham I Paul Davidson Q Arlene Davis Wanda Denton Juniors Glass History When we became Iuniors, we really got into the swing of things and were the ones who enjoyed special rights and privileges-the upper-classmen. Under the direction of Mrs. Cramer, we produced Booth Tarkington's Seven- teen, of which we were extremely proud. This year also brought about one of the worst flu epidemics that has been witnessed by the youth of Vandalia, resulting in the shutdown of our school for two weeks. According to tradition, we presented the Seniors with a banquet and dance in the spring. Although we have had unfortunate things happen during this school year, our gains have far surpassed our mishaps and we feel that this year has been well done.

The team Won the first place consolation trophy at the Centralia Holiday Tournament. This year's team is composed of six seniors who will be hard to replace. Four of the boys have been playing together for five years and will end their basketball career this year. Although small, these boys make up for their lack of size in speed and their ability to hit the basket. The highlights of the season were our two victories over Centralia, consolation prize at the Centralia Holiday Tournament, and our victory over Collinsville. BASKETBALL SCORES .

But her peaceful, happy life is soon shattered when a tramp by the name of l-lenry Abbott visits her to try to sell her some of his worthless paintings. When he leaves, Mary notices that her jade cigarette case is missing and she is quite startled when he appears in a few days, bringing her cig- arette case. Feeling sorry for him, she buys the pictures and tells him to go, however, just at this time his wife, who has been waiting in the cold with their small baby, falls to the ground. Henry quickly carries her in, and after placing her on the couch, he leaves and quickly returns with a quack doctor, who pronounces her too ill to be moved. Thus, the Abbotts are her permanent guests. They soon force the housekeeper to leave and then, with the aid of the Edwards and their daughter, Aggie, they proceed with their evil schemes. Through clever deception they convince her friends that she is in South America and they are then able to sell her valuable paintings. She is allowed to talk to one of the art dealers who, as her captors had foreseen, pays no attention to her story or her plea for help. But one day an ordinary bank clerk calls and through carelessness on the part of the Abbotts she is alone and she tells her story. The climax is reached when the bank clerk leaves apparently unexcited, but a few moments later he returns, bringing with him the police.

Their meetings are held once a month, second period. At these meetings, they plan parties, take inventory of books, and repair damaged books. They usually have three parties a year, a hike for the new members in the fall, a Christmas party, and another in the spring. While at the library tables, the librarians help other students to find books and instruct them in the use of the files so they can find the books themselves if no librarians are present. The Librarians was formed when the school was built, but it has been under the supervision of a faculty member only three years. Sittixig: Rgsemary Moore, Bernadine Carrico.

An election is held each semester to give each boy a chance to become familiar with correct parliamentary procedure. During the meetings, talks are given by outside speakers and by the members. A Parent and Son Banquet, prepared by the club members, is held each year. Each boy earns credits by selling concessions at noon, after school, and at gamesp and these credits are used to pay his expenses on trips and for banquets. The club formed an advisory committee the first semester to aid in having a fair.

The Vandalia Chapter consists of 120 girls who meet the first period the first Tuesday of every month. The program consists of ,four divisions: business, educational, welfare, and social. Under the educational program they had a demonstration on personal appearance, a talk on flower arrangements by Mrs. Kirkpatrick, and a talk on the Funny Side of Public Health Nursing by Miss Scaife, the county nurse. At Christmas time the girls sent gifts to the con- valescent soldiers at Scott Field. They also contributed to the Red Cross and Infantile Paralysis Drive. For the social program, the girls entertained the F. F. A. boys at a party. The initiation was divided into two parts, the formal service and the humorous. The club has adopted a new point system to wear the F. H. A. pin. In order that every member may have an active part in the organization, the members are divided into groups to earn money for the Mother Daughter Banquet. Some of the groups sell pop corn and candy at games, and others serve lunches at noon to the grade school children. Our chapter sent six representatives--Iris Brooks, Dorothy Forbes, Betty Baldwin, Beatrice Krug, Donna I-Iamby, and Elsie Arndt-to the sectional meeting at Sa- lem. Beatrice Krug was elected vice president, and Dorothy Forbes, parliamentarian. Q522 First Row: L. Cole, M. Brugato, G. Chand- ler, M. Henson, D. Gates, R. Miles, P. Isbell. Second Row: N. Wright, C.

First come, first served!-lt's ninth hour and the race for stands is on in Boom 9. ln the midst of a deafening cacophony of tuning-up, Prof l-larrod arrives on the scene, and rehearsal for the high school band gets under way. On the more serious side, the red-and-white clad musicians have had a most successful year. They were a Welcome addition to all home basketball games with their bright uni- forms and snappy music. They were on hand for parades, concerts, teachers' institute, and other events during the year. Several members of the band attended the music clinic at Cen! tralia in December and played in the clinic band, and also the solo and ensemble con- tests in the spring. The entire band entered also. A highlight in the bands activities for the year was a party given in October by the Band Patrons Association. At Wayne Deals home in the country, a delicious feed was served around a roaring fire to the members of the band and their guests. This was fol- lowed by a hayride around the country roads, complete with a full moon, singing, and a good time for everyone, Officers of the band for the past year are as follows: Wayne Deal ,... ...,....,..,...... P resident Audrey Fink ..,. Vice-Pres. and Sr. Councilman lames Hilboldt .....,.......... lr. Councilman Betty Brooks ..,. . . .Sophomore Councilman Bill Staff ......., ,... F reshrnan Councilman Dan Burtschi .... ......,,,,,.., . Librarian Laurene Mabry .... ..,........ L ibrarian c5755 Choral Clubs The vocal music activities directed by Mrs. Kains consisted of five groups comprising more than one hundred members. All groups were organized at the first of the school year with the exception of the freshman girls' sextette. This was organized the second semester. Mem- bers of this group Were Iane Stombaugh, Mary Greer, Pat Craycroft, Pat Berry, Io Ann Turner, and Louise Parris. The forty-eight members of the girls' glee club are made up of freshmen and upper- classmen. lt was a fine group of amateur musicians and from such a group always emerge the special groups for coming years. This year the girls prepared Handel's Messiah for its second annual Christmas presentation, but due to unforeseen difficulties this program was abandoned. The highlight of the season for this group is the annual spring concert. Members of the mixed double quartette were Beverly Boaz, Norma Hartman, Elynor Stapp, Iris Brooks, Bob Graham, Floyd Gene Staff, Iohn Lester, and Edward Burkett. Their music consisted of such popular favorite songs as Shine on, Harvest Moon, When Day Is Done, Dinah, Cindy, and The Last Time I Saw Paris. The boys' glee club of twenty-odd members was organized for the first semester only. This group sang Music of the Gay Nineties, Folk Songs, and Well-known numbers including My Hero, Pop Goes the Wease1, and l Love a Parade. C4582 Qctette Standing: I. Brooks, E. Stapp, E. Burkett, B.
