F. Erskine Editors Note IT FINALLY GOT TO PRESS! As long as it took the staff to make sure that every name was spelled correctly, every picture was cropped, and every quad-pak was double checked, the final product was well worth the trouble. Overseeing the 1983 Stingaree's creation was an experience I will never forget. I eventually got used to staying after school until 4:30 or 5:00 just to make sure everything was running smoothly. Thanks to my advisor Mr. Burrow who believed enough in me to take on the responsibilities, stress, and leader- ship as an editor. His pep talks really got us going. A special thanks goes to my good friend and managing editor Joy Dunglinson who always looked on the bright side of things when times were tough. Also, I am very proud to have Tracy Buxkemper, Debbie Terry, Sean Wray, and Steven Lanier on the staff. They volunteered their time to help me pick up the pieces that others left behind after the year was over. A Touch of Class - that's what VHS people have and this yearbook cap- tures it for us to treasure. There will never be another annual like this one because the 1983 Stingaree happens only once in a lifetime.

Exemption, tardy and absentee rules changed. To be exempt from exams depended on the number of absences, tardies, and the conduct grade. Special Assignment Class CSACJ was visited by some who had severe violations. The drug dog policy was altered somewhat to protect the student's private rights. Instead of searching the in- dividuals, the dogs were only allowed to search the school property consisting of lockers, desks, restrooms and parking lots. During the year, everyone worked to acquire the twenty-one credits which were mandatory for gradua- tion. Passing grades were 60 and above, and credit was given if this criteria was met and if no more than 17 absences were collected. Each semester grade stood on its own until the last several days of school when the school board decided that averaging semester grades together would, in fact, be done as in previous years. Cheering and stomping created quite a rumble in the crowded area of outrageous pep rallies. Never before had the spirit and pride been so high. The birth of the vigorous beat and an exciting routine while Super Sting encouraged the Stings to get involved and yell. ln addition, victory oriented skits were performed by the im- aginative student council. Finally, the school song was sung before and after each half-hour pep rally. These pep rallies were a great display of pride, but there were other ways of express- ing loyalty such as repre- senting the school in con- tests, conventions and ser- vice groups and by wearing a senior jacket or ring. At any high school, fads and expressions develop among the student body to express the uniqueness of the school, and VHS was no ex- ception.
