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. '-Mr. Blythe if 4 CQ!
