REPORT TO THE ALUMNI
Homecoming on November 9, 1957, was a great occasion. The old boys, and some of them are getting old, having finished V. E. S. in 1918, began to gather on the night before.
The Board o f three of whom

was leading by seven points, having scored on the second play of the game. At half time we were leading 21-7. The crowd did not soon recover from the lightning that struck rn the first two minutes of the game.

We have twenty sons of alumni in school this year and applications for several more for next year.
The school is full for this year and there are more applications for next year than we have seniors this year. Things are looking up and we hope there will be a building program started in the very near future. If the school is to expand, it will have to expand everywhere because all facilities are taxed to capacity now.
John D. Owen, Jr., 1937, was elected President for the next year and Arthur S. (Bud) Heald, 1929, was elected Vice-President, with the pres- ent Secretary-Treasurer being re- elected.
Many of the Alumni attended the reception for Mr. and Mrs. Walke and then the dance that night.
After the luncheon, the alumni and their families assembled on the front steps of the Main Building and the picture in this publication was taken. After the picture the football game between V. E. S. and E. H. S. was played on Johnson Field. The game started at 2:28 and by 2:30 V. E. S.
