The “right-hand ladies and gentleman” of principal DeShano, superintendent Wood, and elementary principal Showers, put in a hard year of work. Small jobs of typing, filing, and checking absences kept the students on their toes. Helping students learn more about life and how to cope with it was the Future Homemakers of America. Mrs. Thompson and her girls held bake sales, sold stationary, and put together a cookbook. Enthusiasm and money seemed to be the theme for the Student Council this year as they helped bring some new items into V.H.S. President Jerry Corner and his staff chipped in $400 toward new scoreboards for the gymnasium. They also bought a new school flag, donated money to several organiza- tions, bought the marquee that hangs out in front of the lob- by, and did a lot of other things to help the school and town. This year should set a tradition for the future Student Coun- cil members, in making it a well recognized club. Habla Usted Espanol? If not, there are some who do and this is what they were up to during the year. Sponsored by Mrs. Christensen, Spanish members sold candy, put on din- ners, and held bazaars at holiday time. While improving their fluency in Spanish, one of the projects was a “tortilla-making” party, enjoyed by all. icil: Row 1: Becky Bradley, Amy Gates, Mark Alexander, Kim Erhard, Shana Johnston, Jeff Anna.

Students Learn from Art, Vocational studies are important for a well-balanced variety of classes. They also add to the students’ schedule, a chance to learn artistic skills, as well as academics. For the skills at home, useful classes such as Home Ec., Child Development, Consumer Economics, and Interior De- sign were taught by Mrs. Ellen Thompson. Each of these classes were related to everyday life situations by the use of handouts and in-class discussions. It was the fifth year of teaching for Mrs. Thompson and her fourth year of sponsor- ing the Future Homemakers of America. Co-ed P.E. was a big success this past year! Three classes were taught by Mrs. Dianne Wilson, Mr. Kurt Kaed- ing, and Mr. Jake Helms. Mrs. Wilson also taught girls P.E. and one typing class. Her P.E. class had new areas of focus, one of these, an Aerobics unit. At the other end of the gym was first year teacher Mr. Kaeding with boys P.E. In his gym classes, the subject mat- ter of each unit was varied and alway active. Mr. Kaeding also taught a seventh grade Health class. Further down the hall was the art room. As everyone noticed, the art students were very busy throughout the year brightening up the halls with “Disney” character mur- als. Mr. Gary Lesky was here for his second year teaching art, and it was his first year for coaching JV girls' basket- ball. Separate from the main school building but equally im- portant were Auto and Power Mechanics, Wood Working, and Building Trades. Mr. Phil Allen, in his fifth year as an auto teacher, let the students work on their own cars. As a result, they learned the mechanics of “what goes on under the hood.” Allen also taught power mechanics. Adjoining the auto garage was the wood working lab, with Mr. Jack Decker. The students were taught about dif- ferent tools and how to use them properly. They then put their knowledge to use by choosing and making their own projects. A two-hour construction class was taught for the last time by Mr. John Phelps who was promoted to the job of county building inspector. This year a house was built on Phelps Acres. The students worked everyday on building the house that was sold when complete. The essentials of successful building were learned. 12
