Several examples of their duties are the choosing of qualified teachers, determining the policies and planning a budget for the school, and recently they have been engaged in making plans for a new building. Although many fail to recognize it, the school board ranks among the most important factors in the success and efficiency of the school.

Clark, L, Mabry, B. Brooks, I. Brown The role the Student Council plays in the drama of school life is indeed an important one. Primary functions of the organization are to regulate affairs for the student body and promote understanding and co-operation between students and faculty. However, in reality its duties range from sponsoring dances to collecting for the Bed Cross. One of the highlights of the ye-ar's activity is the presi- dential campaign conducted each year with much school spirit-posters, platforms, speeches, and real enthusiasm. Freshman councilors are Dale Hamby and lean Mere- dithg sophomores, Bill Baldwin and Pat Craycroftg juniors, Paul Thomas, Betty Brooks, and lack Metzgerg seniors, Laur- ene Mabry, Bob Clark, and loan Brown. The Council officers are president, Don Ervin, vice- president, lack Metzger, and secretary-treasurer, Betty Brooks.

Sixteen year old Penny is preparing her- self, with the assistance of her loyal friend Ioanna, to play the lead in the movie version of a popular novel. The author, Harrison Day, is searching the country for his ideal Dimity West. Penny doesn't know that Sally, the new maid, is a former child movie star now grown up, whom a clever publicity agent has planted there to be miraculously dis- covered by the author. The girls won't play in the tennis tournament with their boy friends, Greg and Kerry, in order to prepare Penny for her Hollywood career. Greg and Kerry con- fer with Gram and decide to outwit the girls by posing as the author and a brunette model. Penny's Dad then shows up with the real author, but the plans for the discovery of Sally go awry, for Sally has fallen in love with Mark, Penny's older brother, whose one ambi- tion is to run a chicken farm. The author chooses a star for his movie and it turns out to be Mavis, Penny's older sister. But by this time Penny and loanna have changed their minds again and paired off for the tennis tour- nament with Greg and Kerry. e389 rdmnmen Hal had in unlor Clans Play 'nw gummy mv: mrru-4 rinwnc- we mm frm way, Dont Take -mini , whim wut be e ber 7 Editorein-chief Betty Brooks .i ima Associate Editor D Benton Kcrins Q d . l Adviser William Hooper H It KID: Wh!

The Vandalite, the school paper, is the voice of the student body and has a major role in forming the policy of the students, The paper is also another of the extra curricular activities in which the students take part. lf a student is interested in Iournalism, the Vandalite offers an excellent opportunity for training in this field. lt also performs the necessary item of reviewing student activities, and giving all the other activities of the school a big boost in spirit, Due to the handwork of the editorial staff, headed by Betty Brooks, and the advisor, Mr. Hooper, the Vandalite is becoming one of the better school papers of the state. With many of the staff members underclass- men, we predict an even better paper next year. 44 39 Pb Standing, left to right: D. Lockart, I. Squibb, Mr. I-larrod, M. E. Mahon, B. Welch, I. Oary, M.

Her attendants were Laurene Mabry, Betty Brooks, Carolyn Sears, and Billye Brooks. Time passes so swiftlyfit had been a long time since most of the alumni had gathered for Auld lang Syne. Once again old friends met to see a pep parade, promoted by the students to arouse interest in the Homecoming. Leadf ing the parade was the band, followed by the cheerleaders, pep club, the student body, school buses, and decorated cars. That night our team met Champaign for the big Homecoming game. On Saturday, under the direction ot Miss Barr and Miss Upchurch, the gym was aayly decorated for the dance, held that night. The music was furnished by Bob Burgess and his Centralia orchestra, other entertainment was given by the Thespians and the Octette. Under the direction ot Mrs, Cramer, the home economic girls served refreshments, consisting of punch and cookies. The registration committee reported that approximately three hundred guests had registered. This years Homecoming was sponsored by the senior class and the Vandalois staff, who hope they have helped to make Homecoming and annual event in the years to come. 44 63 D7 S 4 Z2 baoigr-.s mee 54:3 .S 41-f Sefg 1-cas-6 Sei' 2 2 ' F 5l'67WN D35 Uffernassmew ffl,-arrgh welue Van Jaflrsfl D 5 E f 1. 316 ff 5 ii 1532 L 0 Egg? : l e, 9,914 13 Se. f 004 2 006 ? 0014 f0' N 'LMQLQII Faovfij Fav-ij Bane!

Suddenly everything went completely blank, then a white space appeared, upon which was written Erutuf Eht. Then, as if by command, the space seemed to be mov- ing with scenes of persons I had known in high school. It is these scenes, that I am going to relate to you. Starting off I see the face of Vice-President of the United States Bass, with his staff includ- ing lean Atwood, his private secretary, and his press agent, none other than Wayne Cunning- ham, who could never go A.W.O.L. without getting caught. We go to a large ultra-exclusive fashion store, with owner, Miss Ioan Brown, giving in- structions to three of her models, Dee Dee Metzger, Ioan LeDuc and Doris Wade. The dresses were designed by Madamoiselle Croth- ers, the say-so of the fashion world. Nearby is Arlene Davis, a famous fashion editor on a newspaper published by Clarence Deverick, her husband. Then appears a scene showing the very pro- fitable corporation of Doering, Merriman, 6: Wright with Pastor Iohn Doering as the preach- er: Iames Merriman, the undertaker, and Nor- man Wright as the doctor. The wives of these three men are Shirley Cripe, Charlotte Neath- ery, and Alice Gross, respectively. Now the scene shifts to Hollywood where Bob Clark and his Hungry Ten are making a movie with Iames Gable, that great lover of women, and his co-star, Iune Squibb. One of the main camera men, Bob Corless and his as- sistant, Bob Harris, are shouting at Iohn Mabry, the stage manager, to prepare the stage for the famous love scene of Romeo and Iuliet. Also residing in Hollywood are Beulah England, now the wife of Bob Corless, and Iune Himes, the wife of Bob Harris. Elaine Greer has also been working in Hollywood at the Honk and Hol- ler, and has been chosen as the best waitress of l959. Now a radio station, WHEW, which is run by Howard Smith who finally married Alberta Smith, presents our next scene. A program is now on the air with Iohn Lester, as announcer, and starring foe Boaz, I. R. Morgan, Freddie Williams, and Charles Royer as the members of that famous Darktown Poker Club. Their sponsor is Daniel Burtschi, manufacturer -of the Whiz car, need we say he is still a bachelor. Patricia McKeithan is the first woman presi- dent of Puny University. Also at the University is Iohn Smith, professor of Carnivorap and re- siding with him is his wife, Betty Miller. Gene Bone and Cloide Carruthers are famous track men at dear old P. U. They run the mile in l0???? We now arrive at the famous Silver Slipper, the elaborate night club of lohn Braun. The red-headed check room girl is none other than Betty Mahon. The all-girl orchestra is under the capable direction of Laurene Mabry. The songstress is the one and only beautiful Lois Wilk. 159: The next scene is that of the Bone Bros. Mooey Milk Company. lt seems that their wives, Bernice Spicer and Betty Minor, take orders from them during work hours, but after that it is a different story. The scene now switches to New York where Beatrice Krug and Ieanne Lawler are starring in famous operas. Also, in New York Bob Welch is still beating his brains out on the drum, only this time as means of support for his wife, lean Nicholson. Charles I-lenninger has finally succeeded in obtaining ownership of the Vandalia airport. Serving as a mechanic at the airport is Paul Davidson who has finally settled down and has taken Iune Durdel as his better half. The chief hostess of the airport is the demure Violet Moeller. Our former student council president, Don Ervin, is now the mayor of Hooverville. His devoted spouse is none other than Iackie Per- singer. lt seems in this scene, that three former classmates have hit the jackpot, operating a super deluxe sports shop. Marguerite Low is the manager in charge of selling, Ioy Woller- man, manager in charge of buying, and last, but not least, Virginia Wilson is the manager in charge of planning. The next scene is one of viewing Norman Perry's peril as he is Whipped again for his one thousand and one time. Norman married Donna Pacatte for better or for Worse. A scene of progress has now appeared be- fore me in which the originators of the R.S.R. method of teaching are shown. Their method is a simple one, no school. The R.S.R. stands for B. Ricke, Bonnie Smith, and Daisy Ricke. A large group of beautiful, young girls are doing sit-ups, while Harriet M. stands over them with a large blacksnake whip. It seems that the President of G.A.A., Donna Wright is pres- ent today, and Harriet wants to make a good impression. Maxine Carpenter is now the owner of a candy factory, which features her special, THE KILLER. What it's made of she won't tell, but she hints that it could possibly contain a few drops of arsenic. Her secretary is Norma lean Williams. And the official taste-tester is Wan- da Denton, who claims she keeps the com- panies who make pills for stomach aches in business. Here is the famous restaurant, The Blue Gull. The main cooks are Rosemary Flocken and Mary Oary. The owner is none other than Beulah Rhodes. Our last scene is that of a humble and hun- gry person, talking to himself, saying, am a poet and no one knows it. Yes, yes, that's Bob Blunt. The effects of the cosmic rays have lessened and the scenes have vanished so I return to my own uneventful life. -Carl Graf -assisted by Ioan Brown e705 ADS INDEX Appreciation nucxl possible A U X X gi X i H X fi' mf!

To sum this day up, I felt like a sardine among whales, so small and lost. September 6, 1943-I have resolved to make new friends and add them to the old. Especially with that new boy who sits next to me in the assembly, and my general science teacher. September 25, 1943-Being the athletic type, I joined the Girls' Athletic Association today. Sounds like fun. October 28, 1943-Oh, that cardl So much bad news in so little space. My parents calmly stated that if my Grades weren't raised, I could only make one trip a week to the Toot. Oh, for the life of a brain-child. December 2l, 1943--Tomorrow is the last day of school for two weeks. The principal seems like Santa Claus. March 21, 1944-First day of spring, and my first experience of the wanderlust here in high school. As I study--nature out the assembly window, the poem, Trees, comes to my mind. I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree- Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Can you imagine that? That boy I sit by in the assembly, the one I wanted to be friends with, asked me for a date. Either my campaign is taking effect or it's this weather. In spring a young man's fancy turns to romance, those poets sure knew what they were talking about. May 29, 1944-Semesters againl I'm an old hand at this now. Last night I slept five hours, anyway, while the night before my first Semester I could man- age only 4. It seemed I had insomnia. Iune I, l944-School's out. September 8, 1944-Well, I'm back again. Back to the old familiar halls. October 3, l944-I'm gradually getting back in the swing. For the first couple of weeks I consistently added 4 and 5 and got 8. After a month of School, I know now that it's 10. Of course, I may be stretching this a little, but that's the general trouble, I am now finding. November 25, 1944-We get out tomorrow for turkey dinners. A bunch of us are having dinner together. The boys have cemented to join us. Thanksgiving is a nice day. There are many things we can be thankful for. December 5, 1944-Tomorrow is Saturday, and if this snow will stay on long enough, we plan to make use of it. The snow, that is. Ianuary 25, 1945-Semestersl Enough said. I have nothing to say, I didn't have much to say then either. Try as I would, I just couldn't get started on those dis- cussion questions. I'm not the discussive type, I guess. I'm not a person who says an awful lot, as you've probably noticed. My, how eeme people rattle on. February 3, 1945-We advanced students in Home Ec. are serving tea for those Freshmen students. I hope I don't trip. It seems so easy for me to do just that. Bob says it's so easy for him to trip while he's running the hurdles in track. The Coach says its bet- ter if one doesn't do that, I can see his point, too. lie got a letter though, so he surely doesn't trip too o ten. March 5, 1945-We just played the boys a game of basketball. They gave us a few advantages. Like: They had 4 players to our 6, they played our rules, we had chosen the referees, we could double dribble, and they couldn't. An altogether fair game. They won. Next game they have to hop on one foot the whole game. April 10, 1945-Open House, something new has been added. Great funl I have been working weeks on some drawing for my Geometry project. Now that I'm through, it looks like an optical illusion. d Iggy 29, 1945--Happy day. You know why, no Ou t. September 6, 1945-I am now an upper-classman. I really feel no different. October 4, 1945-I joined the Camera Club, and at the next meeting they made me Secretary, behind my back. I shall try to merit their faith. Let's see- the meeting was brought to order . . . Being no further business the meeting was closed. I think that's the established form of taking minutes. Let's hope so any- way. December 5, 1945-I have a part in our Class Play, Seventeen, I'm the mother, I have a real acting part. Everyone says I show my age well. Everyone has the flu. I hope we get to give the play. December 10, 1945-Tonight we give the play to an all-adult audience. We're having a flu epidemic, but the Show must go on. Ianuary ll, 1946-The Band is practicing festival numbers. Our director says the Sax Section has the hardest passage, so we must practice. I see I take my horn home. March 9, 1946-I typed a score of 53 today. That rates an award. I guess my piano lessons do help some way. April 2, 1946-Open House again. What an awful lot of trouble and time it takes. I feel like the little rabbit who crawled into the refrigerator, because he thought it was a westing house. Open House just exhausts me. May 5, 1946-Last night was the Prom. I had a formal, a date, and a corsage, and also rain. On top of that I had a wonderful time. I helped decorate yesterday. We first planned on the Country Club, then we decorated half the gym, and finally moved to the Legion I-Iome, which couldn't have been nicer. We had music, refreshments, and decorations, just everything. May 30, 1946-Tomorrow I can sleep late for today is the last day of school. September, 1946-My last year is now beginning. I don't know whether to be glad or sad. I think deep down I may be a little sad. It has been fun in spite of its trials. September 11, 1945-Since our Class is sponsoring the Yearbook, we started off with a big dance to help finance it. People donated generously and we are at least started. October 8, 1946-Tonight is the night of the Band hayride. I think we're using wheeled horses ftractorsl. November 16, 1946-Tonight the Orchestra is play- ing for the Silver Moon Dance, given by the Student Council. I hope we sound all right. I also hope every- one dances. November 26, 1946-We're running a big election for Homecoming Queen. More funl More money, also. December 5, 1946-I saw the best Lyceum of my four years today. The Charm Quartet sang. The boys all thought their name was appropriate. Ianuary 30, 1947-My last Semester until I enter college. Why am I starting all over again, why do I do it? February 10, 1947-I have a sore finger and couldn't take my English test, so I won't write today. Whoops, I am writing. March l, 1947- The whole world is but a stage. Our whole Speech Team is going to the Sectional' Contest. A verv good record, to say the least. March 7, 1947-We lost in the Regional Basketball Finals last night. Maybe next year I can come back and watch the team go to State, who knows? May 10, 1947-The Junior Class really gave us a nice send-off. Proms and banquets are really some- thina to remember. A pleasant memory. May 12, 1947-We've been practicing for the Grad- uation Exercise, until I feel that I know Pomp and Circumstanceu by heart, forward and backwards. May 29, 1947-Today is my last day in high school. Along with fun I've had, I hope I've gained many things which may help me in my later life. I think that I will miss this place after all!
