Vernonia High School - Memolog Yearbook (Vernonia, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1951 volume:

DEDICATION Building Site One of the most eventful years in the history of V.H.S. has come to a close. Many surprising and exciting happenings have resulted in almost unheralded events. Overshadowing all others is the promise of a new school in the near future to be located on Oregon-American land west of Washington Grade School. The final vote of approval in April along with Mr. Mills' resignation as principal left mixed emotions among students and faculty alike. Nothing could have possibly dampened the spirits more quickly or effectively than the loss of our most respected and liked principal. In reviewing the events of the past year, nothing stands out as clearly as our winning of Columbia County's football championship the last of October. The courage and strength showed by these Loggers will go down in V.H.S. sports history. So, we dedicate our 1951 Memolog to three resolutions—the hope for a new school, best wishes and grateful thanks to Mr. Mills,and luck to next year's football team. May only the best follow for all three. «z L- Mac Relaxes. Ora. Lynn. That stern look. Principal Mills. Proud Papa. Rhonda, Mr. Hoefs, Mr. Spencer. Cheese | Mis3 Yocum Attention please. Cookie. Itr.
