Members of the VHS Class of 1971 Ann (Word) Wilson, Barbara (Brumley) Dunn and Rhonda (Garrison) Klappenbach stand next to the "Lion Tree" with VHS Librarian Gayla DeHoyos. The roots of the new “Lion Tree” in the Vernon High School’s new run deep into the past – back to the very first class to start their freshman year in the current Vernon High School building in fact. That’s because the tree, an artificial Christmas tree, and all of its decorations were purchased from donations made by the Class of 1971.
