0lf'8 LUOI' We wondered and puzzled when we were told To take all the snapshots a nice book would hold, To put them together, to have, all told, A picture book of the school's young and old. Snapshots and poses of fun galore, Tears, and confinement, and bore , Fun with our teachers and scoldings sore- But isn't this book worth all, and more? The cramming for tests, the games of ball, We couldn't quite portray it all. But the names and the clubs and the pictures of all Who leave V. H. S., this book will recall. -The Staff of 1946 Spectator - 4

sgzlfufor, gifozczlozczfing lt's not a stately mansion for those of wealth to use, lt's not a dingy castle for those who tend to abuse, lt's iust a plain white building, which knows no color nor creed: A place to learn, a place to play, ci place that is our need. lt's my own alma mater, and compared to all the rest, lt's my school that is so grand, the one that I like best. Within its walls are memories that to me are wealth untold, Memories I would not part with for a fee of priceless gold. In this building lingers memories I will ne'er forget, Of teachers who were my pilots, of friends I leave with regret. My memories, my friends, and I are embedded in life so new, My imprint's left in Vandergrift, whose colors are white and blue. My school friends and memories will leave me, as I iourney on, But my paths are wide and open for travel to treasures beyond. -Estelle Makowski, '46 Spectator -- 6
