This collection, generously provided by Ronald Miller, contains scans of football scores and schedules, school plays, newspaper clippings of the famous / infamous Vaiden football teams of the early 1960s, graduation programs, and class reunions up to, and including the Vaiden High School Class of 1965. Rather than separate these different scans and place them by the year they occurred, it was decided to keep all of these together to preserve the posterity of the collection, and to display the information pertaining to the early 1960s, culminating in the 1965 Vaiden High School Graduation.
