Text from Pages 1 - 164 of the 1950 volume:

U'e, the Seniors, are happy to present to you the Souvenir. To the student body, faculty members, and citizens of our community we wish to express our gratitude for your co-operation and support. May you cherish throughout the years this annual which will recall many pleasant memo- ries to you of the activities of the Vinton High School during the year of 1949- 1950. Because you are a great coach, because you are a wonderful teacher, because you have not only taught us the value of sports- manship, because you are so well liked by all students and mem- bers of the faculty, because you set a perfect example for all students to follow, we take great pride in dedicating the 1949 1950 SOUVENIR to you, Coach Wallace A. Hanna. THE SOUVENIR STAFF Center: Sponsor Miss Irma Spillman Center to left: Co-Editor-in-Chief Mitzi McGann Business Manager Billy Bolton Asst.
