CHRISTMAS GREETINGS
As the year draws to a close, reflections on the past twelve months
appears to be the order of the day. The VVI has passed another
milestone with the completion of some major new construction and
renovations. With the jack hammers still rattling, we all are
reminded that, unfortunately, our project has not yet been
completed. However, many departments and programs already enjoy the
results of the project which commenced with the planning in April of
1978. Yes, it has been a long time. Yes, it appears to have become
part of us!
In the next few months of 1984, we will face new issues and
challenges, which, I am sure, we shall manage to resolve. Our

ingenuity will be put to the test in meeting the new needs for
training with extremely tight money. But with your effort and
endurance, I know we will succeed!

With best wishes to you and your families for a joyous and festive
season and a happy New Year, I thank you for your efforts and your
support in 1983.
H.W. Rerup, Principal

VVI LIBRARY FILM JANUARY 5, 1984 (12:15 Library Screening Room)
RUTH STOUT'S GARDEV (23 min)
Ruth Stout is a peppery older party with frank and forthright
views, and great personal charm. The film visits with her as
she talks about her "no dig/no work" garden that uses
unorthodox methods which are nevertheless ecologically sound
and productive. Ruth's commentary reveals her singular

attitudes toward life, her family, and her interests.

ZEA (5 min)
A superb visual trick that will mystify its audience, this film
transforms the commonplace into magic. Its making presented a
serious technical challenge because the subject was both
elusive and explosive.
