Pioneers in a new frontier”...is a brief but com- plete definition of the students of Vinton High at the beginning of this year. We were pioneers as we became accustomed to our new surroundings. Our most satisfy- ing discoveries were the day by day memories that make this shell of a building our school”! Capturing the newness of our school as well as the moments spent within its walls is the aim of the 1966-67 Souvenir. 7 In Memory RONNIE JOHN COURVILLE Death's but a path that must be trod. If man would ever pass to God... ” Thomas Parnell 8 Principal’s Message This school year (1966-67) marks the beginning of a new era in the history of Vinton High School. It is with great pride that I write this message in the first edition of the Souvenir issued from our new high school. I am happy that our students have the op- portunity of attending a new, modern, and well- equipped school. I hope that you will make the most of the op- portunities offered you and get the education that you deserve. Congratulations to the Souvenir Staff and sponsors for the first treasured memories of the new school. 9 Secretary Mrs. Haggard attends to her duties as secretary of the school. She is an experienced and helpful worker who deserves appreciation from all the students of Vinton High for a job well done. P.T.A.

In years to come, will we remember Homecoming activities, the Beta Installation and other happenings? If any thing slips your mind, just flip through the 67 yearbook and as memories begin to unfold those special days will come to life. Speaking for myself and all other Souvenir Staff members.
