•ft . t if ' ALMA MATER Alma Mater, beloved Vivian High School We honor thee with our praise Loyal souls, we stand with reverence to thee And show our worth to the world Alma Mater for honor, truth and wisdom They are the things for which you stand Loyal sons and daughters sing proclaiming Here is my heart and hand! EX LIBRTS The SENIOR CLASS of V.H.S. presents 1955 WARRIOR DEDICATION To our parents, who have so cheerfully and un¬ selfishly ’’kept the home fires burning for us all our years; to the members of the faculty, who by their kindly help and considerateness, have made our days at V.H.S. long-to-be-remembered ones; to the student body, who, though expressing true loyalty to the traditions of our old school, will no less be faithful to those that shall be made in the new; to the alumni, whose love and affection for their Alma Mater has been manifested in ever- recurring admiration for and supportof the principles for which it has stood; to the merchants, who by generous and consistent advertising have shown faith in our enter-prise; and to the community at large, whose forward-looking thoughts and genuinely co¬ operative spirit have contributed to our successful place in the roster of Louisiana ' s schools--to all of these--do we, the members of the 1955 Warrior Staff, in this, the final year of Vivian High School, fondly and appreciatively dedicate this, the final volume of our yearbook.

The large, well equipped cafeteria serves the entire school with three 40 minute lunch periods. Meals are hot, well balanced and appetizing, due largely to the skilled planning and management of Mrs. Reed and her staff of cooks. During her twenty-two years as VHS cafeteria manager, Mrs. Reed estimates that approximately two million meals have been served. The handwashing machine makes eating more pleasant. Note the individual chairs that add to the comfort. CUSTODIAN MR. HARTZO is chief custodian of our school.
