SOUVENIR VINTON HIGH SCHOOL We, the Staff of the Souvenir, have tried in every way possible to make our annuals meet with your approval. It is our sincerest hope that as each new year approaches and our Souvenir is taken over by a new staff that they will strive to make a bigger and better annual. We wish to thank the faculty and especial- ly our sponsor, Miss Iva Cox, for the splendid work and cooperation they have given us. We also wish to thank the Provine Studios for their cooperation and patience in furnish- ing us with pictures.

By the beginning of the season of 1910-1911, the Vinton High Schoolhad become a state approved high school, with C.E. Labord as principal. The high school gym was constructed in 1939. FACULTY Mr. H.
