system found Spike Brown, Eleanor McIntosh and Grace Smith the first winners of the V.C.H.S. Special Award. That was also the last year Uncle George ' s Day was held, as our beloved Latin teacher, Dr. Misener, was retired. That was our frosh year. Let us now turn to last year. With the completion of the recreation wing the school was able to find a definite routine. In a colorful election cam¬ paign, John Galanka gained the presi¬ dency. Such names as Argosy Editor, Jim Gooding and Social Convener, Ron Downey, were contemporary with Vic. Our social year was a smashing success with Snatch ' Em drawing a record crowd for a school function. ' 50- ' 51 also marked the return of the yearplays with I Remember Mama always being remembered by those who enjoyed every stirring moment of it. A fighting band of Vic gridsmen was waylaid by St. Joe ' s in their quest for the city championship. Once again our senior hoopsters gained laurels. Now the term ' 51- ' 52 finds us the seniors. This year has been most enjoyable to us; but it is with regret that we look forward to the time when carefree school days will be over. Our school leaders, President Walter Muir, Editor Casey Skakun, Social Convener Shirley Donaldson, who gave us Dogpatch Daze, our second Sadie Hawkins success, our drama club which gave us Life With Father . . . these are the things that we will remember about our senior year. Yes, it will be hard to deny the fond mem¬ ories of our high school days. And now, as we step out into fur¬ ther education, be it in the scholastic field or business world, may it be with sure footing, and a concrete knowledge and confidence that we have received the best foundation in citizenship that is possible. 21
