Class History of 1966 A proper history of the Class of ' 66 cannot be written as a simple list of events that have occurred which have affected us as a group, nor can it be a list of memories of just a few of us. We are all individuals; yet we, as a class, have a soul. The Victoria High School Class of 1966 came into being in September of 1961, when we entered these hallowed halls as mere eighth graders. We all had different backgrounds, different person- alities, and different problems. Despite all this, we joined together to solve our problems, to unite in one solid block to progress throughout our high school careers. In keeping with our individual abilities, we took different courses. While keeping in mind the basic idea behind the school we loved, we all took part in the learning process which caused us to meet new friends and teachers, and further our education. In trying to further advance our- selves, many of us took part in extra-curricular activities such as athletics and clubs. Our class has had many who have stood out as fine and skilled athletes or have shown many qualities of leadership and co-operation in clubs and organizations. While in school, we tried to show a sincere effort not only to advance ourselves but also to help others. The opportunity to further our culture was presented through the music and library facilities in our school. Many opportunities were presented to us to show our capabilities throughout our five years in V. H. S. It became apparent in our latter years in school that we were to have the honor of being the last graduating class of Victoria High School. We strived to show that we were worthy of this honor. Our records show us to be not only one of the largest classes from Victoria but also one of the most talented. We were fortunate in being blessed with a hard working junior class following in our foot- steps, that gave one of the best Junior-Senior Proms, An Evening in Paris, ever to be given honoring a senior class. When we leave Victoria High School at eight o ' clock on June 8th, it will not mean the end of just our class, but the end of an era. I ' m sure that when we look back on the old school that we have spent so many years in, we will all think of some fond memories and feel a twinge of homesickness. V. H. S, will never die so long as there is a loyal Panther still around. 103
