The Panthers, which had earlier been established as a name for the teams, not only played local teams, but traveled to Richmond, Fork Union, well, and even played the Hampden-Sydney freshmen. In 1946, they won the district chr ship. . ' Victoria ' s keen interest in spoils has consistently put it highly- rated among teams area. The fans ' enthusiastic support has always been hard to beat. Victoria’s last two principals, W. R. Buttons and J. W. Thweatt, have inspired our educationally and athletically during their terms. With Mr. Thweatt becoming principal of Lunenburg Central High at the beginning of the second semester, Victoria High School was to have one more principal before she was nothing but a memory. Mr. R. C. Elkins became the last principal of Victoria High. During the short time he was the principal, he was well liked by all the teachers and students. : The graduates of Victoria High School have all found places in the world for themselves. Many are heads of big businesses, medical doctors, chemists, teachers and professors, minis- 5 ters, and just about any profession mentionable. All of these people look back on Victoria High School and her many fine, qualified teachers as the key to their success. The memory of Victoria High School will always remain in the hearts of every graduate from the 1913 class of two, to the 1966 class of sixty-nine. Its many years of service, recre- ation, and fun will never be forgotten. . After many years of hard work and planning on the part of the people of Lunenburg County, Lunenburg Central has finally been com- pleted to open for its first Session in the fall of 1966.
