A rare yearbook from Veterans High School Center - an segregated academic and vocational training high school for American servicemen and other non-traditional male African-American students in the District of Columbia. Veterans High School was started in the old Armstrong Manual Training High School building in 1946 and operated until 1964 at which time it became an adult education center. During its run Veterans High School Center graduated around a hundred students a year trained in various academic and vocational specialties. The range of study is reflected in the senior class section here noting that each student is graduating on an "Academic" track or gaining a diploma in such vocational avenues as Printing Radio-TV Shoe Repair Auto Mechanics Brickmasonry Barber Science Electricity Drafting and Tailoring. Other sections of the yearbook feature students in typical settings such as the classroom in clubs playing sports and so forth. There is also a list of school patrons followed by an eight-page section of advertisements for local businesses.
