She has held the position of cheer-leader for two years. Usually a very cheerful lass—but sometimes she can display her temper. Effie can find no congenial gentleman friend in our class so she captured one from the Alumni. DAVID NICHOLS Senior President, ’22 Vice-President, '21 President Excelsior Society, '21 Baseball, ’20, ’21 Basketball, ’21, '22 Davy is worthy of his title of “Presi-ident.” He is the Daniel Webster of the class. He deals with serious subjects but is always the jollies! when there is cause to be. He has an extensive imagination and his one ambition is to be a short story writer. Success to you Davy! We wish you luck! ARDEN WADSWORTH President, '21 Vice-President, ’20 Vice-Pres., Columbian, ’22 Operetta, ’20, ’21 Football, ’19. ’20, ’21 Basketball Reserves, ’20, ’21 Baseball, ’20, ’21, ’22 “Pete” often treads the muddy streets of North View to call upon a dark-haired French lass. Can you guess who it is? Pete is a specimen of genius. You can tell by the lustre of his keen blue eyes. lie is very much interested in architectural work. It is rumored that he has submitted to the city manager free designs for a bridge across the river between Adamston and North View. 20 IRENE STROTHER Treasurer, ’20 Operetta, ’22 Basketball, '21 Cheer Leader, ’22 Orchestra Excelsior Literary Society Small and fairy-like is “Sue.” But the smallest are sometimes the mightest, which is true in “Sue’s case. She decided that school work did not keep her busy enough so she took up something else. What do you suppose it was? A Ford. There is nothing about a Ford that Sue does not know. She will become an expert prac- CHARLES MILLER Football, ’19, ’20, ’21 Basketball Reserves, ’20 Charles’ two favorite pastimes are to smile and dream in school and to drive his “Buick to a certain part of town which we will not mention for fear of arousing his ire. “Chippy” is liked by all for his good nature and will some day find a good girl to share his home. Is there any girl who would not fall in love with those beautiful blue eyes of his -and a car? VIVIAN JOHNSON Secretary, ’21, ’22 President, Orphean Choral Club Operetta, '20, ’21, '22 Calendar, '22 Stenographer Year Book Vivian is the queen of them all. Sim attracts universal admiration. In shorthand and typewriting she has a speed that can not be surpassed. She is also gifted with a musical talent which is recognized by all who were witnesses to the opeiettas that have been produced at Victory. Her many friends can not predict whether she shall become an expert stenographer or a famous prima donna. But we feel she prefers to grace a home. HARRY M INTER Basketball, '20, ’21, ’22 Baseball. ’20, 21' Football. '20. ’21, ’22 Orchestra Columbian Literary Society “Mike is an adept in every line of athletics. He has a very sunny disposition, ilis greatest fault is that aften when sitting near a girt his arm gets out of place. He has a very loquacious tongue which gets loose at both ends. Sometimes he gets his lingers into the wrong pie and his paddle into the wrong canoe. His hobby is “Parkology.” BEULAH McCLUNG Excelsior Literary Society Operetta, '20 Orchestra This little lass is noted for her beautiful locks of brown hair. VVe wish she would be a little more dignified. She never walks with a Senior but alwavs with a Freshman. Why is it? We think because they are more her size. Beware lass tif '2X, she is going to be a teacher, and she favors corporal punishment. ALMA SNYDER Basketball, '20, '21, '22 A sweet and good girl is Alma and not one bit bashful. Neither is she afraid to speak in class. She can easily prove her ability. It is rumored she is fond of young preachers—well who wouldn’t be? We can just imagine some young idealist pouring out his dreams and meeting with such heartfelt responses. 2 2 ROBERT ZEHFUSS President, Columbian Society, 22 Football. '19, '20, 21 Football Captain, '21 Second Team Basketball, 20, '21 Track, '21 .Ithlctic Editor, '22 Bob is ver obliging will'll the spirit moves him, which is every now and then, lie simply must have company every day in the week. For his greater comfort we suggest that some kindly friend donate a huge alarm clock which will ring every hour and bieak him fiom the serious VANCE KEASTER Printine Committee I he gil ls do not interest Vance. He says they are a little too expensive-. They think him very cruel because he does not invite them to ride in his Ford. Vance has been accused of being responsible for the overflow of West Fork river at Mine's Bend, due to an excessive deposit of Adams’ Pepsin and Wrigley’s finest (Muscles grow with use—note the jaw.) RUBY DENNISON Basketball, '20, ’21, ’22 Why is it that Ruby goes so often to the Opera House? Is it to see the show? Some say it isn't. She has some attraction there, no doubt but we know not what. The word “fear” is not in Ruby’s vocabulary. “She fears not any man.” GLADYS REDFOX Asst. Editor, Chronicle, ’22 Excelsior Literary Society Orphean Choral Club Operetta, ’20 Gladys’ middle name is “Smile,” for who lias ever seen her with a frown? She loves to frolic, but Gladys knows there is a time for work as well as play. We fee! certain that she will become a great teacher after she has captured the honors at some famous university. CHESTER REID Track Team, ’21 Operetta, '20, ’21, ’22 Joke Editor, ’22 Excelsior Literary Society Cheer Leader, '21, ’22 Orphean Choral Club, ’22 “Chet” is fair and tall. He wears his hair parted in the middle and it is inclined to cttrll (although main whisper that “Chet” sees that it does.) He is the comedian of the class and always has something to say (especially in Spanish.) As cheer leader he can not be equaled. “Chet’s” loquacity is our best substitute for a perpetual motion machine MARCELLA SCHMIDT Editor in Chief Chronicle, ’22 Operetta, ’2t, ’22 Columbian Literary, ’21, ’22 An intellect that can not easily be surpassed. She i always smiling when someone” is around. We are sure Marcella will make a success of life in the business world but if she is inclined to teach we would predict a pleasant career in the field of languages. A word of advice: If Marcella is in pursuit of pulchri- tude she should refrain from frowning horridly as one fleeting idea after another passes thru her mind. 24 CARL NICHOLS President. Columbiai Society, ’21 Basketball Reserves, 21 “Where there's a will there’s a way. is Carl's motto. Is there a doubt, then, as to what kind of a lad lie is? Carl likes to understand a theory deeply, and studies and questions about it until he does. What then would be his best course in life? Why to be a lawyer and to become a great judge. Then he will revise his motto into: When there’sr a will there's a law suit.’ LYNN SWIG HR Chairman Engraving Committee Excelsior Society Lynn is tall and fair. His1 blue eyes seem to denote sirfeerity and truthfulness. He is studious yet we can predict no intellectual future for him; rather he will become one of the most prosperous farmers of the state. On the vear book staff Lynns services were invaluable. FKUN OIMN.UJT Orchestra Columbian I.iterary Society Fern has light hair and blue eyes. Her motto is “Let’s eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die.” She is very fond of company (especially from Adams-ton) and one can always find enjoyment at her abode. Fern possesses wonderful musical talent, anti with her charming personality we feel sure that the lime is not far distant when she will be assured of a permanent audience, even though it be small. 9 ■25 vihc.il hall GAY DAUGHERTY Columbian Literary Society Orphean Choral Club. '22 Who says there is nothing' in a name? A look at Gay would convince any one that a moie befitting name could not have been given her. Gay is very fond of reading. Yo library is large enough to satisfy her passion for books. The time she doesn’t devote to literature is spent in arranging her hair. We can hardly think of Gay without curls. Columbian Literary Society Football. ’21 Basketball. '22 Quiet as a mouse is Virgil. This recent arrival is always ready to do his duty when called upon. Virgil is very tactful. It is related that when he was asked how much were two and two he replied, It depends upon what two and two you mean.” HAROLD O’NEIL Excelsior Literary Society He came into the class eight weeks late. Yet “our genius” bad no difficulty in overcoming this handicap and always finds time to doze in study hall. In a few years we have no doubt this young man will control Australia, Asia, Europe and Africa. During his leisure hours he could dictate the foreign policies of Mars and Jupiter. He considers a text book on the theory of relativity as light reading. 26 ELIZABETH ADCOCK Columbian Literary Society We think that “dimples would ! ■ a i jore appropriate title for such a merry lass as Elizabeth. She is very industiious and to prove it she jumped from the Sophomore class to the Senior. Elizabeth loves geography a.nd is well acquainted with the longitude and latitude l such important cities as Red Poj Arkansas; Medilin. Columbia and Jonzilo, Madaga car. MILDRED BROWN Excelsior Literary Society Orphean Choral Club Filing Committee, Chronicle Millie is an “A” student, gentle as the whispering wate.s. But how about study hall the sixth period? The poor child is so studious yet the girls will not be puiet. She can not only make A” on her studies but is an expert in manipulating the powder puff. CLYDE BARNES Baseball. '20 Football, 19 Basketball. '19. ’20 Operetta. '20, '21 Could anyone im.igine that a demure young man like Clyde loved to tease the gills? And yet it is true, although we did not mean to tell it. To offsot this one little fault he has so many good qualities. It wou'Jd be an arduous task to surpass him in hard work and deep thinking and when it comes to experimenting with electricity he i.s a rival of Benjamin Franklin. 27 GLKXX GIFFORD Op err 11 a, ’21, '33 Excelsior Literary Society A very industrious and noble lad who is first to come thru the front door in the morning' and the last to go out in the evening. He is not like most hoys, but is digit i timl and takes life very seriously. A tarmer he is and vows he will alw.ivs he. Glenn has a very obliging nature and can always he counted upon for 1 favor. MARY KKLLEY Operetta, ’30, ’31, '33 Orphean ChoraI Club, ’33 Red hair, blue eyes, and Irish is the he.-t description we can give of “Kelley.” Her favorite pastime is to sit in class, roM her eyes and chew gum. Mary is a good remedy for the “blues” and one is hound to see life on the bright side when she is around. When she presides at the piano gloom departs forthwith. MADISON I.YON Madison is the class Epicurean. The teachers expect him to have his lessons just about the same time he is prepairieg to chuffle off his mortale coil. He has been known to be quiet for as much as three minutes. Honestly, though he is a gieat help around the kitchen. 28 BEATRICE BARNES Excelsior Literary Society Orphean Choral Club We recommend that Bill” take a correspondence course with one of the numerous schools that guarantees to develop the memory; otherwise we fear that she will be about five minutes late at the altar when her p resence will he absolutely essential. Try the Pel tan System, Billy. LILLIAN ASH Excelsior Literary Society Orphean Choral Club Lillian is a real student. She is quiet and attentive, ami a peal friend of the few with whom she is intimate. If the world were a huge cartwheel, Lillian would take her position on the hub and nonchalantly watch the spokes revolve. EDWARD MINTER Orchestra Basketball Reserves, ’21 Football Manager, ’21 Excelsior Literary Society Ed. always has an excuse for getting out of the building. He is ready to 'run errands for others and can generally find a reason for going to town. Just leave it to Ed. to get out of school. He is a very talented mucician. We predict great things for him when opportunity knocks at his door-—if he is in. 29 EDNA BUSSEY Operetta, 22 Columbian Literary Society Treasurer Orphean Choral Club Treasurer, Girl's Club Debating Club Stenographer, Chronicle, '22 Edna is very dignified and takes pride in walking thru the front door. She can generally he found in the typing room at every spare moment. Since Edna has become assist nt to Mr. Bouic she has been able to satisfy her curiosity for learning what is taking place thruout the entire school. Remember Edna, Silence is golden, speech is silver and sounding timbrels are brass. JOE McKELVEY Operetta, '20 Joseph, alias “Pete, the Class Giant. ’ He pesters the faculty seeking obvious answers to unnecessary questions. Ilis smile is with him wherever he goes. In a few years we expect to see him as the manager of the Odean. CLAUDE WALKER Operetta, '20, '21, '22 ('olumbian Society Orphean Choral Club A lad who is very popular with the fair sex. He is the Caruso in our midst and is sure to be famous some day. We expect to see him at the Robinson Grand in a musical sketch entitled “Mack Senn-ett II and His Famous Bathing Beauties.’’ 30 MILDRED SMITH Columbian Literary Society Basketball. ’20, ’21 Mildred's favorite subject is basketball. Her second favorite subject is basketball. She lias the highest grades as center and forward. English. History, etc., are mere for litjr. She devours the assignments as one partakes of the minor salads at a banquet. Athletics serve as her piece de resistance.” MAJOR IE MARSHALL Columbian Literary Society “Still waters run deep.” Puzzle: where do Marjorie’s interests lie? Is it books, flowers, birds, or beasts? She is a lady of mystery. A prize is offered for Hie solution of the problem, “Who is her beau ideal:?” Extra: Mystery solved. A-belated Senior furnishes the solution. Further scientific evidence secured to prove that opposites attract and similars repel. WALTER PLANT Orphean Choral Club Columbian Society Operetta,''20. ’21, '22 Walt is very business llike anil attends strictly to his work when in class. All of us, of course, have our faults. Walter’s is laughing at his class-mates when they make a mistake. The trade that we prescribe for Walt after graduation is tin-keeping of an ice-cream parlor so that he could satisfy his craving for sundaes. 3i EDWARD SMITH Football, ’19, ’20 ' Basketball Reserves, ’20, ’21 Orphean Choral Club Operetta, '22 Question: Who is Ed's girl? Seven or eight we can name who might claim the honor. He is a true philanderer. He can blush. Oh! My! Just blush at most anything. He enjoys typing so well that he is frequently discovered asleep bending over the keys. LUCY HAMILTON Excelsior Literary Society Orphean Choral Club “Jolly, good-natured and full of fun. If you want a good friend here is one. She never tells anyone what her chosen vocation is. But we hope she will become a demure little teacher and help to brighten a classroom. CHARLES GOODWIN Excelsior Literary.Society Chairman, Printing Committee Charles is indeed a princely chap. He never clings around the girls. He is very quiet and abides by the rule that lately he has developed a tendency to be neither seen nor heard. CbmTes arrives exactly one-fifth second before the tardy bell and leaves exactly one-fifth second after 3:15. CARMEN CHARLES Treasurer Columbian Society Orchestra This talented violinist is a real favorite in the entire school. Petite and charming, her mere presence in the orchestra is sufficient to bring delight. Carmen is tempermental. Otherwise how can we account for her eternal changeability? CARRIE BERGER Excelsior Society Chairman, Stenographic Committee A silent girl and truly intellectual. But she is always ready for fun if you suggest a prank. We do not know whether she will he an expert business woman or an old-maid school teacher. Carrie says she w ill never marry because she is too much of a fighter, hut many a good man loves an occasional war between friends. HOWARD JOHNSON Absence makes the heait grow fonder. We believe this is Howard's favorite motto. His sole occupation is experimenting with a Ford. We suggest Howard secure the agency for second hand Lizzies” at Wolf Summit and enlist Sue as General Manager. 33 FRANK KOI l.INS ZHLLA DAVIDSON Orphean Choral Club Basketball, ’it) Zella never fails to assist in making a quorum for a class meeting'. She is a stand-by at all class functions. This young lady is especially fond of athletics and will no doubt become an adept ii■ the profession which made Annette Kcller-men famous. It is rumored that she frequents the pools about Raymond Rock. Football, 'so. 'si Basketball, 'so Art Editor, Chronicle, ss Columbian Literary Society Fiank can always be- counted upon to do his duty on a committee. We are sure his obliging nature has been of inestimable value in making him popular with a certain fair member of the Junior class. We were warned ste. nly that we must not mention her name, so to keep from hurling Pauline's feelings we won’t. DALE NUTTER President, ’ ig Assistant lid iter. Chronicle, 'so Basketball Reserves, 'so Columbian Literary Society This young man is perpetually in training for the Marathon race. Fifteen miles a day is a short stroll with him. We have heard that once upon a time Dale had a girl. He invited her out on a short walk, but after the1 twenty-seventh mile she refused to go any farther and ever after he has been a bachelor. Ilis sole devotion now is books, and few can equal him in the classroom. 34 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of 22, the third to graduate from Victory (and of course we think the best) have now attained the place of honor and will soon be ready to depart from our dear school and go our separate ways in the world. In the year of 1918 we began our career in the grade buildings of Adamston and Northview. That year we had no upper classmen to torment us, so we missed all the heartaches of Freshmen. The next year we gathered in the new unfinished building as Sophomores. We felt very dignified now because we were in ti real high school. We selected the following officers to help us along: Dale Nutter, President; Arden Wadsworth, Vice-President, Beatrice Petitgerr-ard, Secretary. We had a very successful year, for Sophomores were well represented in the school functions. We were represented in our operetta, “Cherry Blossom,” by Vivian Johnson and Mary Kelley, who had leading parts. In athletics we were represented by Harry Minter, Arden Wadsworth, Robert Zehfuss, David Nichols and Frank Rollins. We thus ended our second year of work and were all happy with the thoughts of being Juniors the next year. And when the next year came of course we were glad to be Juniors but we found that we were not going to waste so much time this year. My, how we did quarrel with the Seniors! But as a rule the Seniors won the argument, and that hurt our feelings somewhat. But we thought of the coming year, and waited patiently for our turn as victors. Early in the year we met and selected the following class officers: Arden Wadsworth, President; Dale Nutter, ice-President; ivian Johnson, Secretary; Effie Trunick, Treasurer. Our members in the operetta, “The Garden of the Shah,” were Vivian Johnson, Mary Kelley and Claude Walker. In athletics we had quite a large representation, which consisted of Harry Minter, David Nichols, Arden Wadsworth, Frank Rollins, Charles Miller, Robert Zehfuss, Edward Minter, Carl Nichols, Dale Nutter and Edward Smith. Our third year of work ended very successfully and we were now ready for the final year’s work. Seniors! At last we have reached the long coveted goal. We have fought valiantly and have left a good record behind us, which we feel sure will be a credit to any class to maintain. Early in the third week of school we met to organize our Class and choose our officers lor this year’s strenuous work. I he following were 35 cliosen: David Nichols, President; Effie Trunick, Vice-President: Vivian Johnson, Secretary and Irene Strother, Treasurer. At this meeting- we also chose Red and Black as our class colors. Up to this time we had not named our class. We held a meeting and as Miss Ethel Minter and Mr. David H. Pierce were our advisors we decided to call it the “Minter-Pierce” class. This year wo are well represented in all the activities of tlu school. When we have finished our school work and leave it to make1 our separate ways in the world we all intend to light valiantly, which usually means “Victory.” MILDRED BROWN ’22 “SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY” ’22 Well! Well! Well! Of all the surprises of my life, this, certain]?, was one. 1 had just been informed that I was to write the1 prophecy. ! thought 1 never in this world could write a prophecy for a class like ’22 and especially for a class with forty-five members. But 1 remembered our motto, “ We came, We saw, We conquered,” and tried. But it takes time to tell the future and what it holds for my classmates. Worried and despondent, I put on my hat and went for a walk, out where I coultl be myself, hoping that 1 would get a vision of what the future would be. 1 walked about a mile, but to think, my mind surely did refuse. So I began to cry. V Idle crying 1 heard a very kind voice speak to me. Being- unable to see who was speaking 1 thought perhaps it was just my imagination, so 1 did not pay much attention. Upon hearing the voice the second time I began making an investigation. I could see no one, but 1 heard the same voice say, “Here 1 am,” and 1 looked; seated on the petals of a flower sat a tiny- creature. A fairy. I h( laii spoke again saying, “Why are you crying, and so unhappy . I told hei the task that had been put before me. and that my prophecy must be a success. She replied, ”1 can and will tell you the Jutiue of oil! ( lassmates, il you will be patient and look directly into my ey es. I told hei I would gladly do anything to receive help on writing my prophecy, so we began. I looked directly into her beautiful eyes but could see nothing. Then suddenly a large building appeared. Now what could a building mean, or have anything to do with the future of my classmates? I grew angry and told the fairy she was a fake. She said, “Do you remember you 36 promised to be patient?” 1 told her 1 1 icl remember, but what has a large brick building to do with the future of my classmates? She said, Look again.” And upon looking again I saw a familiar name in front of this building, “Johnson Hotel.” I thought for a moment, and then 1 recognized Howard Johnson, who was the owner and proprietor of a a large hotel in New York. And what was this? A hotel register, and then some more names, Beulahj McClung, Vivian Johnson, Carmen Charles and Fern Quinaut. 1 was familiar with these girls but what could they have been doing in New York. Next, what's this, a stage! And who were those I saw? Beulah, Vivian, Carmen and Fern giving a musical recital. Her eyes grew dim for a moment and then a large city appeared, next a large and lofty building and in front of this building 1 saw Gladys Redfox, who is a lecturer. A crowd of eager-looking people were around her, eyes bright and mouth open so as to grasp every word of her argument. A large farm house came into view, where I saw Zella Davisson about her household duties. I began to wonder who her husband could be, and behold, he appeared in the door. Who? You could not guess in a month of Sundays. Glenn Gifford. There was another farm scene, Virgil Hall had taken up scientific farming. As this scene faded another came into view. A neat cottage, and within, 1 saw—surely not—Edward Minter and Lucy Hamilton. Well. Well! What was this? A wedding! 1 wondered who it could be. None other than Carrie Berger and Vance Keaster, and the preacher in charge was familiar. Who was he? Oh yes! C harles Goodwin. Now familiar, dear old Victory High came into view. In the old office (where I have gone so many times) I recognized the principal to be, no, not Mr. Bouic, but Dale Nutter, and in room 306 I saw Elizabeth Addock, who is now Commercial Geography teacher. I wondered who the Physical Culture teacher could be that as gi ing such hard exercises? None other than Ruby Dennison. What was that? Maps! Maps! Maps! History, and could it be that Alma Snyder is teaching History? Sure enough she is. Where was all that smoke coming from? 1 did wonder, but it wasn’t smoke at all, it was only Madison Lyon sweeping. You know he .s the janitor at Victory High now. 37 Victory High vanished and a court room came into view. A very important case was being tried, the lawyer on one side being Carl Nichols and on the other side, our class president, David Nichols. What, the capitol of the United States? And who could have been there from the class of ’22? The president is Charles Miller and his private secretary is Marcella Schmidt. They surely clicl reach a high goal. This all faded and her eyes grew dim again. But what was this? A circus! Surely not! Yes and on a large tent 1 saw plainly the following words: “HAROLD O’NEIL, The Cigarette Fiend.” “JOE Mc- KELVEY, The midget Animal Trainer” and then, “WALTER PLANT, The Tallest Clown in the World.” Such things will happen. The circus vanished, and one of the most exclusive studios of Fifty Avenue appeared. Devoted to designing femine apparel 1 found Mildred Brown. Mildred Smith was employed as her capable model and they were doing tine at the business. Next door to this exclusive studio I saw “Madame Daughtery’s Hair dressing Parlours, The best in the City.” Could it be our own classmate, Gay Daughtery? Surely enough it was, and as usual her hair was curled nicely. Her assistant was none other than our friend Lillian Ash. Odd looking people came next in view. China. Here I find Edna Bussey as a missionary. At this point the fairy closed her eyes, and I wondered what for. My prophecy was not half through. Would it be that she had gone back on her word? Just then I heard her tiny voice say, “Look.” And as I gazed, I saw a large stadium in which there seemed to he a great confusion. There was a football game being played. It was Harvard and Princeton having their yearly battle. On the Princeton side I could see a figure pacing up and down the sidelines. Ho seemed to be very nervous and excited. Upon looking closer, 1 recognsized our quarterback of ’21, Robert Zehfuss, who was coaching the Princeton Tigers. Books, and more books. A public library. Over the top of one of the shelves I read this: “The latest books by the best authors.” Then all the other books vanished but one entitled, “How to Gain Success in Love Making,” which is written by one of our classmates, Beatrice Barnes. A large department store came into view. Sitting in the office I could see a woman who looked very familiar. Could it be Marjorie 38 Marshall? Yes. She had charge of the buying of all goods and is the manager. Seated at another desk was a portly gentleman who seemed to have had too much of the good things of life and not enough exercises. On looking closer 1 recognized him to be Lynn Swiger. Plans. Now who in the class of ”22 was an architect? Then a large building, which is being constructed, appeared, and I recognized the two men in charge of the work being done to be two of my classmates. One was Arden Wadsworth who had won fame in architecture, and the other was Edward Smith, who had made like progress as a building contractor. The scene changes. What was this? A gymnasium, ('.iris were adroitly swinging dum-bells and going through strenous exercises, for Elfie Trim irk and Irene Strother had instituted a great School for Physical Culture. The scene was the same but instead of girls, I saw several hundred boys. Who could their teacher be? None other than our white-headed center Harry Mi liter. A large auditorium took the place of the gymnasium. “ 1 he Follies of 1935” were being' played. 1 recognized the leading man to be C laude Walker, singing as usual to his hearts content. And I saw also anothei familiar face, Chester Reid as, “The Fancy Dancer With The Big Feet.'' A laboratory—what could it mean' Bottles, tumblers, beakers, wires and everything that a laboratory would and could have. At one end of the room 1 could see a figure. As the scone grew brighter I recognized Clyde Barnes, who was now working to project wireless inventions. A large bill-board came into view and I saw plainly the following words: “On July 4, 1937, Daredevil Frank Rollins will give one of his world-known performances.” I wondered what kind of a performance? Oh yes! I could see now, aeroplanes. Such high ideals did Frank possesss. Again the fairy’s .eves grew dim. Surely my prophecy wasn t over. But alas! It was, when 1 looked for the lairy she was gone, yes gone, as were my classmates. Now that my task was ended I became light hearted and all was well. Everyone, yes, everyone that graduated in 22, proved a success. 39 MARY KELLEY’ CLASS POEM Long- and dreary is the way we have come And rough too, and difficult for some,— But now the goal salutes our gaze, The last of happy High School days. How oft we have discouraged felt, W hen long' hard lessons we were dealt. Still we kept on, and on, and on, And now for us they all are gone. We stand beside life’s rushing stream With love and hope,—perchance a dream Our school is but the starting place, Thru life we run the onward race. ’Tis hard to leave our school house And face the trials of life,— But harder still to part with friends Who helped us through the strife. Yet may the orange and black wave on Proud o’er each lad and lass, And we remember to look back And say,—“There was a class!” As Freshmen, school was but a play, And we composed the cast, How now we laugh, when we recall Our silly dreams, long past. As Seniors, thoughts more serious are, The future lies ahead Will Victory High be proud of us? “It will!” we all have said. Here’s to the class of old ’22, May it never number less Let the paths of the future lead each on To the bright goal of Success. Mary Virginia Kelley ’22. 40 Junior Class Officers President ....

Two chapters of our history have already been written anil it is now time to write a third one. Before going on with the future let’s go back over the past. At our first class meeting we elected Russel Adams, president; Pauline Bond, vice-president; Jean Hamrick, secretary; Viola Kirkpatrick, treasurer. We selected purple and gold for our class colors. Our class was the largest in the school, having ninety-one enrolled. We all enjoyed ourselves at a class picnic given at the end of Freshman year. On September 6, 1920 we again appeared at Victory High School to take up the Sophomore life. At our first class meeting we elected new officers: Paul Stewart, president; Lester Fitzpatrick, vice-president; Hazel Writesell, Secretary; Viola Kirkpatrick, treasurer. We feel very important now for we are Juniors. On September 13, 1921 we held a class meeting, not to elect officers but to select our class rings. Mr. Yager suggested that we elect our president so we could hold a regular business meeting. John Scott was elected president. Later we held another class meting and elected Herman Reuter, vice-president; Irene Bever, secretary; Auther Whitener, treasurer. Friday, October 14, 1921, we had Junior color day. We decorated the auditorium in purple and gold. In chapel we gave an interesting program of music and yells. Our Junior year will soon be just a memory, and before I close this chapter of our history let me say that if our under-classmates follow in our footsteps they will also be a credit to Victory High School. 44 Virginia McFarlin ’23.

After two weeks of changing classes and schedules these students began their work for the year. The officers were elected at the first class meeting as follows: Samuel Urso, president; Eugene Powell, vice-president; Virginia Morgan, secretary; and Blanache Criss, treasurer. Blue and white were chosen for our class colors. Our class made a good record thoughout the year, having a large number of honor students. This year about seventy-five make |up the Sophomore class, and we are trying to hold the same good record we have so far. The officers for the Sophomore class are: Eugene Powell, president; Virginia Mor- gan. vice-president; Haysel Shaffer, secretary; and Dove Griffith, treasurer.

We did not do much work the first week, as we were busy arranging our schedules and being assigned to our class rooms, but on the following week we settled down to show the teachers what kind of work we could do. Our class had begun to think that we were not going to have any class meetings as our first one was not held until December. The follow-officers were elected at this meeting: James Taylor, president; Charles Hamrick, vice-president; Marie Primm, secretary; and Flora Floriana, treasurer. The Freshmen are all proud of their class and everyone is working lor its honor.

V. Bouic. The officers elected were Ralph (Timm, President; Harold Smith, Vice-President; Pearl Drummond, Secretary, and Hazel Cunningham, Teasurer. A statue was presented to the High School by the first class of the Alumni Association which expresses our feelings toward the school. A banquet is given once a year, soon after commencement, at which the newly graduated class is received into the Association. The class of ’21 has thus been received. The Alumni Association has proven to be of great. benefit to tho school. We are striving to make Victory one of the best High Schools in tlu‘ state. Ralph Crimm, historian, keeps in touch with all the members. A complete record is kept of all the members of the association. 54 ALUMNI ROLL 1920 Cottrill, James Grimm, Ralph Floriana, Walter Ilurst, Orville Johnson, Raul Reynolds, Ben Smith, Harold Strother, Dale Trunick, Paul Cunningham, Hazel Drummond, Pearl Grapes, Marie Hornor, Gladys, Mrs. Price, Gladys Reeves, Neva 1921 Burton, Kemitt Thompson, I Ielen Sims, Brady Fittro, Garnett Scott, Harry McDaniel, Madge Bussey, Chester Logue, Dorothy Merryman, Alden Smith, Josephine Cottrill, Cluster Crimm, Erma Brand, Charles Davis, Flossie Sullivan, Cassel Grapes, Beatrice Dailey, Donovan Heater, Magdalene Gatian, William Haley, Orpha Hurst, Kenneth Haley, Rose Scott, Wilmer Keaster, Lena Strother, Lyle McClung, Margaret Powell, Albert McClung, Joy Zehfuss, James Musgrave, Leona Props, Lyda Powell, Avice Cunningham, Alta Williams, Mabel Sommerville, Ruth 55 Debating Club The P. and M. Debating Club was formed by two members of the faculty, Mr. David H. Pierce and Mr. J. Harold Morgart. With their co-operation and management the members of the club have been able to render excellent programs. The name for the club was selected on the evening of March ( , 1922. The club is proud to honor those who have taken so much interest in the development of the students’ abilities in public speaking. Debating is in its infancy at Victory High. Unusual talent has been shown in the debates and literary work already rendered. Much can be expected from the debating club next year after the careful training of this year. Members of the club expect to enter the district debating and literary contests this spring for the selection of participants for the state debating contest at Morgantown. Social evenings are held monthly. Many new members are admitted at every business session. The following are the members of the P. and M.

LITERARY Number “13” I, Ruth Robbins, being- left an orphan at the age of fifteen years, have lived three years at Miss Burns’ boarding school. Here 1 have a very close Iriend, Mary Blue. We have had many, many good times together and one never leaves the house without telling the other where she is going. The night Miss Burns gave me my father’s legacy, I went to my room secretly. 1 found the legacy to contain thirteen keys and a note saying, “ I liese are the keys to your estate.” Now just why there were thirteen keys is what I would like to know? It seems as though I always get the unlucky number in everything. But I won’t be afraid of that. I'll go on anyway. Mary had gone to visit Edith Lewis, a girl rooming near us. 1 saw it was raining and 1 thought I could reach the estate, which was two miles from the school, without being noticed, so I started about eight o’clock. Knowing that Mary would not approve of my being out alone at this time of night, 1 left no note for her. 1 walked and walked, and was very weary when I reached the house. 1 had been there but once before that I could remember. It had been my father’s bovhod home. 1 applied key number one and the hall door swung open. 1 immediately went in and a gust of wind closed the door behind me. «« «� Mary, upon returning to her room, discovered Ruth was gone: “Ruth is gone and has left no word where. She always leaves word where she is going but she has left none. Oh, 1 wonder what has happened to her! It is nine-thirty and she has not come! Maybe she is kidnapped!” “Perhaps she is with some of the other girls,” said Edith. They searched all over the house but were unable to find her. “We might as well wait until morning to look anywhere for her. Almost everyone is in bed by ten o’clock, anyway. I do not think she would go far alone, said Miss Burns. So the girls decided to wait. aooo By the flashes of lightning I saw a man’s hat and dripping umbrella on the hall-tree, and 1 wondered who could be living in my house. 1 kept looking around the room as the lightning permitted me and finally 1 espied a lamp with matches near it. 1 lighted it, and carrying the lamp, went to the next door, applied key number two and entered there, but no man was to be found. I looked all downstairs and none of the rooms looked as though they had seen anyone for years, so 1 went upstairs. 6o I was not afraid because I felt that this was my own property and someone else was inhabiting it, so I went bravely on. Having used keys numbers one to nine downstairs, I applied key number nine to the first room upstairs and ten to the next, etc., and still not finding anyone, 1 came to thirteen. This room was the one my father and his baby brother had used when small children. I applied key number thirteen and opened the door. I thought the stranger must be in there, if in the house at all. Just as I went inside, a gust of wind came from the window and blew out my lamp. I had no matches. What was I to do? I started toward the window but stumbled over something and fell. All was dark. I heard nothing. I remember no more of that night. In the morning, the girls, none of whom had had any sleep, started out to look for me. They searched the town over, but in vain. They notified the police, who made a more thorough search but could not find me. Miss Burns told them of the legacy and they went to the lawyer, Mr. Wilson, who told them what it contained. They went immediately to the house but it was almost dark when they arrived. The turned the door knob, only to find the door locked,—the night-lock having caught when the door blew shut. They kneked twice,—a gentleman came to the door. “Is Miss Bobbins here?” asked Miss Burns. “1 do not know,” said he, “there is a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years here but I do not know who she is. Come in and see her. This is Mrs. Johnson, the nearest neighbor 1 could find. “This dear girl,” said Mrs. Johnson, “has been unconscious nearly all day. I do not know her but she is very pretty. Come right in and see if you know her. How do you suppose she came to be here?” “Oh, dear girl how did you get here?” cried Miss Burns. “I - I - I - I -had —” “Unconscious again,” exclaimed the gentleman. “Sir, can you make room for us over night? 1 see you have a large house. “Probably she will talk some in a short time.” said Miss Burns. “Yes indeed, madam,” said he. So they prepared supper, and after supper Miss Burns went into the the room to give Ruth something to eat. Ruth was sitting up, looking around the room. Upon seeing Miss Burns, she exclaimed: “Oh, Miss Burns how did we come to be in this strange place?” “Why, my dear girl you are the only one that knows. How did you come to run away from the school house? asked Miss Burns. 6r “It was my father’s legacy and—this—is—m-y-es-tate? I remember using the key number thirteen but no more.” “Well 1 can tell the rest,” said the gentleman as he and the girls came into the room. “And who are you? Oh, you are the owner of the wet umbrella!” “Just a minute, just a minute, and you shall hear. I am your uncle, John Robbins. Your father, Jim, and I used to reside together in that thirteenth room. 1 arrived last evening from California and upon going to Jim’s house I could not find him. So 1 inquired of him and found that this house now belonged to you but that you were in school, so 1 thought that I would stay all night in my lucky room again, and hunt you up today. But 1 was awakened by some one turning the lock. Then 1 heard a noise and when 1 struck a light I saw you lying over my suitcase. 1 was very much surprised, finding you were unconscious, but 1 ran over to the nearest neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, and we brought you here. We sent for a physician but he has not yet arrived, it is so far. Now you know all.” “So, you are uncle John that father talked so much about? He wanted so much to see you. He never knew where you were. 1 am so glad you have come back.” “Do you feel well enough to tell us you story now, Ruth,” said Miss Burns. “I will tell you all of my story when 1 feel a little stronger. I think thirteen must be symbolical of luck in our family.” The next day the girls and Miss Burns went home. But not for long. S «on Miss Burns came to live with me as my aunt, Mrs. Robbins. Edna Bussey ’22. 62 A Frightful Night Lillian loved her Uncle Ben’s farm. To her it was a paradise. She knew each flower, tree, and fairy nook on the farm. But she had no playmates; for she had lived alone with her old uncle since her parents’ death. Lillian had only vague ideas of her parents as she was but live years old when they both died of smallpox. There was one beautiful field on the farm that Lillian loved best. This was about four miles from the house. A brook ran through it with small fish in it that looked like gold in the sunlight. Here she dreamed of meeting her fairy god-mother, (yes she believed in fairies) and also ner knight. They were beautiful dreams but she had no one to tell but her doll, and this was not much fun;, for the doll could not talk back. She might have told Uncle Ben but he would have laughed at her and called her foolish. Uncle Ben was very superstitious and he taught Lillian to believe in all he told her. She said, “Why of course Uncle Ben is right. Only the other day a black cat ran in front of me and when 1 reached home I found my pet chicken was dead, tin' one 1 loved best.” After this she never doubted his word. Several years passed and Lillian still lived with her uncle. She was now sixteen, a beautiful, blue-eyed country lass, very timid, and very superstitious. She was almost ashamed even to think about her dream-knight, but still she went to her beautiful nook, (she called it “Queen of the Paries’ Nook”) and there she dreamed her dreams. One day coming in from feeding the chickens she saw a boy talking to her uncle on the front lawn. “Who can this be? We never have company. Oh! it’s the telegram boy. What can be wrong?” She ran to her uncle and he told her that his cousin was dead, and would be buried the next day at three o’clock. And he must leave her alone for one day while he went to the city to the funeral. He consoled her by saying that he would bring here a new dress, and would not be gone over night. Before leaving he told her to take care of the farm, and to remember that this was the thirteenth and Friday. She said she would remember this, and she watched him walk down the dusty road. She went about her work happy, counting the minutes until her uncle would return with her new dress. In the early evening a hard rain came up, she realized that her uncle could not return until the next clay. So she retired early and was soon fast asleep. She was awakened with a start. It was raining hard, the thunder 63 roared and the lightning flashed. She looked at the clock on the mantle, when the lightning Hashed again. It was eleven o’clock, Friday Ihe thirteenth, and the lightning was coming in the west window. She knew something dreadful would happen, so she sat up in bed almost afraid to breathe. The lightning Hashed again. What was in the corner? A body without any head! Lillian scarcely breathed. When the' lightning Hashed again she saw a head on the shoulders, with long golden hair. The eyes were turned in her direction. Lillian screamed. Would the lightning never Hash again? It seemed ages since it last Hashed. Finally—Oh! the creature was moving toward her. The next Lillian knew she was looking up into a pair of blue ('yes, and the light had been kindled. Who was this? What could it all mean? Lillian could not fathom it. So she did what most any other girl would have done, fainted. When she revived, she heard a sweet voice saying, “Oh! won’t you please help me; brother will die if you do not soon come.” Lillian sat up. “Who are you?” she said in an awed whisper, thinking it was a ghost. “I am a stranger here; my brother bought the next farm; we thought we could make it up here tonight, but Will fell and broke his leg. Oh! please, please, hurry.” She told Lillian this between sobs. “How did you get in?” Lillian asked, “and why didn’t your head come with you?” “I couldn’t make you hear so I came in the window from the porch,” she answered laughingly, “and my head was with me.” “Well, I guess 1 didn’t see it, Lillian said, jumping from bed and hurriedly dressing. They went out and together dragged him into the house, where they made him comfortable for the night. Larly the next morning Lillian went for a doctor; meeting her uncle on the way, she told him of the accident. In a few days Will and his sister Nellie wen- removed to their home. They were the best of friends to Lillian. And Nellie often laughed at how frightened Lillian was that wild stormy night. But Lillian will not listen; she says that Nellie only imagines this, but 1 guess she was a little scared. The rumor is going around that Lillian and Will are engaged and are to be married soon. 1 guess it is so. Will says Lillian is the finest girl in the world even if she is superstitious. But let us hope she will soon forget her uncle’s training. 64 F?ffie Trunick ’22. A TRIP TO THE MOON On August 12, 19—, I saw a large and well tilled envelope on a little-used pike road leading into C----------------g, W . Being naturally curi- ous, I picked up the envelope and examined it. There was no mark of any kind on it except a little dust. It was not sealed and I could easily see that it was filled with closely written manuscripts. Not knowing what else to do I sat down by the side of the road and took out the papers. They were fastened at one corner by a clip. The contents were as follows: April 14: Concluded experiments proving that it is possible to transport a person from one place to another in a very short time, by transforming him into electric energy and sending him by wireless telegraph. April 14, P. M: I believe that a person could go from one planet to another by this method but I know it would take a more powerful wireless station and more complicated and delicate machine than I had at that time. But I kept on planning. April 27: Finally 1 completed the wireless station after a great deal of trouble, expense and worry. John J. Edwards, my trusted right-hand man, offered to make the trip. I did not wish him to take the risk, but neither did I wish to spread the secret of my invention and so reluctantly consented. It took him a few minutes to start. Then I set the machine so that he could signal back and let me know when lie reached his destination. I remained in the receiving room all day and slept there in a chair that night. It was 4:57 A. M. when I received the reply, “Safe and sound in wind and limb.” The next day towards evening he began to send in descriptions of the place. “There is very little gravity here. I can easily jump forty feet in a standing jump and in a running jump it is not hard to leap two or three hundred feet. I can jump fifteen feet straight up in the air. 1 found a tree-trunk twenty feet long and four feet in diameter which I could pick up and swing as easily as you would a ten or fifteen-pound stone ledge.” “The people here are between eight and ten feet tall when nature, due, 1 think to the lesser gravity. Their skin is soft and tender and of a creamy color. They talk a kind of guttural. They wear just enough clothing to protect their bodies from briars, brambles and scratches. A coarse mat, made of strips of bark, interwoven leaves, and green succulent 65 stems is hung- over their bodies with holes cut out for the head and arms reaching to the ankles. They have the dull, lazy disposition of the Negro, but they do make a new shirt or gown when the old one wears out, as they are easily susceptible to tetanus and blood-poison. They live in pairs, each pair looking out for their own comfort only. They go any place where fancy dictates if they have the ambition to do it. Their main diet is of raw fruits, roots, insects, fishing-worms and soft, green pulpy stuff, which they find under the soil in veins and layers like we find coal. There is a fruit which is similar in size and shape to the apple. In the morning it is sweet; at noon it is a dilution of salt and water and in the evening it is stronger than vinegar. The native cat it at all hours with equal relish. There is another fruit which looks like a cross between a banana and cucumber. In the morning it is like fresh frozen ice cream, at noon it is a strange flavored sugar-water; in the evening it is aereated like light bread. There is also something similar to a watermelon or a pumpkin. If the natives want the fruit to be of a certain color, they rub the desired colored solution on the stem of the plant. If they wish it to be of a certain flavor, say, banana, lemon, vanilla, orange; chocolate; or perhaps another flavor, they get some of the desired extract and pour it around the roots of the plant one day before the time when they desire to eat it. As a rule the fruits and vegetables are in frozen or solid state in the morning. At noon they are diluted or nothing but flavored water. In the evening they are acids or are loose and full of air.” The rest of the story is nothing but statistics, facts and figures which I considered to be didl and uninteresting, so I skipped it. On the last sheet was this: “To the secretary of the President; Dear Sir: This invention was for war purposes, but as the invention was not completed until after the Armistice was signed, 1 would advise that it be kept a state secret unless you would wish to send some undesirable persons to other planets. Yours truly, T......s A. E.......n.” 66 Walter Martin ’23. THE MYSTERY OF DUNCAN HALL Duncan Hall was once more buzzing: with excitement, for it was the jay on which school began in September. All day long the taxis had been busy, bringing the girls to the Hall. Duncan Hall was an old colonial mansion which had been converted into a girls’ sc hool. In the center of the campus was an imposing marble fountain. The fountain was the figure of a beautiful girl, delicately playing a harp. All the school girls looked with awe upon this figure, for there was a queer story connected with it. This is the story which tradition required seniors to tell the freshmen the first night. “Once a wealthy old man and his beautiful daughter lived at Duncan Hall. The man hired a great sculptor to carve his daughter’s image upon the fountain which had been built in the garden. As the sculptor was a handsome young man he made love to the old man' daughter. 'I he couple ran away together. A few weeks later the old man received news that his daughter had been killed in a train wreck. The father died broken-hearted. It is said that the ghost of his daughter comes back and plays the harp which is on the fountain. So girls, don’t be frightened if you see or hear anything at midnight. Vern and Theta were two freshman girls who roomed together. That night when all the teachers had retired, twenty-five sheet-wrapped figures entered their room. The girls were not frightened for they knew it was just a crowd of seniors. 1 he white-clad figures gave 1 beta a goblet and told her to go to the fountain and place the goblet between the feet of the figure. It was a bright moonlight night, and as Theta started she was not frightened. But in a few minutes she rushed back to her room and entered sobbing. She cried, “1 was ready to come back when someone moved beside the fountain!” The girls called her a baby and then led ern to the door and told her to do the same thing. Just as she reached the fountain a loud twang was heard. It was the harp of the fountain. The erstwhile brave senior girls dispersed to their rooms at once. The next day it was whispered in the school that the marble harp had sounded. Miss Picot, a nervous French woman, who had taught at the Hall for many years, was one of the most unpopular teachers in the school. 67 She seemed to have some great secret sorrow which was eating her life away. She kept very late hours and thus prevented the girls from having as many larks as they had planned. One cold winter day there was a skating party on Hear Lake. For dinner the crowd went on board a small ship which was frozen in the lake. On the ship was a harpist who gave a letter to Theta and asked her to deliver it to Miss Picot. On her way home Theta lost the letter. In a few days Theta was called into Miss Primm’s office. Miss Primm was the school superintendent. She had the missing letter. She asked Theta to tell all she knew concerning the letter. Then she said, “I have read the letter. A man claiming to be Miss Picot’s brother has asked her to meet him at midnight behind the fountain. He has also asked her to bring him some money. We will follow this clue.” For almost two hours Theta and Miss Primm waited and then—! Through the still night air came the sound of a harp. Soon they heard Miss Picot stealing gently from the house. Theta and Miss Primm followed her and as the man she met behind the fountain started making threats they stepped up. Miss Primm told the man to leave the campus immediately and never to return again, for if he were ever to be seen on the grounds again he would be arrested for trespassing. After they had seen him leave, the trio returned to Duncan Hall. Miss Picot explained that it was her wayward brother who tormented her all the time; and that when he wanted money he came to the fountain, drew his hand across a small harp which he carried and she would meet him there. It was this which caused te people to believe that it was the girl’s ghost that played the harp. After this the harp of the fountain was never heard to give forth a sound. It might be added that Miss Picot ceased to be the nervous, unpopular teacher she had been, for her brother no longer came to annoy her.

Besides the regular music classes, which meet once a week, boys’ and girls’ Glee Clubs were organized and meet twice each week. The Orphean Choral Club, consisting of Juniors and Seniors, was formed and the following officers were elected: President, Vivian Johnson; Secretary, Auther Whitener; Treasurer, Edna Bussey. The real work of this organization was shown in the Operetta, “The Glass Slipper,” which was given February 15, in the school auditorium before a large and appreciative audience. Our Orchestra, though small at the beginning of the year, has increased and has became a very commendable organization.

On account of these difficulties we did not get started on our projects until the fourth month of school. The beginning class has an enrollment of twenty-nine. The object is to learn the use and names of the tools. They must complete thirteen projects during the year. Manual Training II teaches the trade of furniture and cabinet-making. They must complete four projects during the year. This class has an enrollment of twenty. Manual Training III is a continuation of Manual Training II and one project is the requirement for the year. This class has an enrollment of twenty. Next year Manual Training IV will be offered. The school has in stock this year about two thousand feet of lumber and thirty-five gallons of paint, varnish and shellac. The latter half of last year we were taught to make cushions. They were made of black and orange pearl cotton. About twenty of these cushions were completed. We have a new subject in our school this year, Mechanical Drawing, taught by Mr. Yager. We will complete about sixty drawing during the year. Every one seems pleased with the new subject and spends much extra time upon his drawings. 77 Edward Smith ’22. Domestic fit . DOMESTIC ART Domestic Art is one of the most useful subjects for girls taught in the High School. Sewing is taught under the supervision of Miss Bonnie Boyles. The elementary classes are taught the use and care of machines, darning, simple embroidery, mending and patching. The advanced clases are taught designing, planning of dresses and in some cases required to cut and design their patterns. The quality and cost of the material to be used is also taken into consideration. A short course in millinery is given to the advanced classes. The pupils provide material that the instructor thinks suitable for the garment to be made. DOMESTIC SCIENCE The housewife of today has more responsibilities and duties than have ever been known in the past years. 'This is due to the change in manner of living, and the high price of foods. Two years of cooking is offered in the school. The chief aim in cooking is to make an attractive dish with the amount of food value needed and as inexpensively as possible. This is a great task for the inexperienced housewi fe. The price of foods, how they should be prepared to the best advantage, waste in preparing and cooking, seasoning the foods that help make a balanced meal and those that give energy and heat to the body are taken into consideration. Cooking II discusses fully the setting of a table, table etiquette, and serving. Cooking is a study of the kitchen with its many rules. It includes the classification, composition, and the proper place of food in the diet. It is taught in Victory High School under the supervision of Miss Fay Kirclmer. A large percent of the girls in the High School are engaged in this useful subject. The same text book for both classes is used. The book is divided so as to give the second year classes the more complicated parts. “Domestic Science Principles and Application” is the text used. Students are also required to keep a note book. 79 Lucy Hamilton ’22. “School Days, School Days, Dear Old Golden School Days. THE COACH 83 FOOTBALL The football squad of 1921 consisted practically of green men. Under this circumstance it is considered that they did well, even though not a single game was won. Fate, too, seemed to turn against the squad when one of their players quit school just before the season began. I hen in the second game Captain Zehfuss had his collar-bone broken. Just when he thought his troubles were over and he was going to play again, it was broken the second time and he was unable to play the remainder of the season. !o make matters still worse, Rodriguez, fullback, broke his ankle in the’ W. 1. H. S. vs Victory contest and was also eliminated for the season. In spite of all this the players did not lose hope during the season and excellent material was developed lor next year’s team. Charles Xewbrough, halfback, was considered the most valuable man on the team and was therefore awarded the silver cup offered by the “Daily Telegram.” The team also elected him as the captain for next year’s team. The squad for the season was as follows R. E. Wadsworth R. T. Radcliffe R. G. Billoti Center Bow L. G. Hall L. 'I'. Bitonti L. E. Rasehella Q. B. Zehfuss—Xewbrough R. H. Minter L. H. Xewbrough F. B.

While at first, not anticipating a very strong team for this year, under the tutorage of James Heavener a very fast combination of variety was developed. Although not winning all of the games played the team came through with the record of having beaten the best team of the state, such as; Buckhannon, Washington Irving, Pennsboro, Grafton, Elkins, Weston, etc. With the veteran player Harry Minter as pivot man our team was able to get a good start which won many victories for us. The following- is a summary of the year’s record: Name Forward Center Guard Harold McClung i Harry Minter i Virgil Hall i i Clarence Bow i i Arden Wadsworth i Guy Radcliff i Louis Betonte i Edward Minter i i David Nichols i Charles Newbrough i i Wilburn Phares i Leonard Nolan i 7 RECORD Victory 29 Pennsboro 18 Victory 39 Jane Lew 11 Victory 29 (iraf'ton 30 Victory 35 Jane Lew 6 Victory 37 Bellington 5 Victory 28 I Ynnsboro 17 Victory 45 Monong’ah 16 Victory 28 Grafton 19 Victory 20 Weston 27 Victory 38 Fairmont 24 Victory 37 Belington • 9 Victory 45 Elkins 2() Victory 19 Buckhannon 25 Victory 32 Weston 22 Victory 26 Salem IO Victory 23 Buckbannon l8 Victory 3i W.

With the players from 1920 and some skillful coaching he molded a team that was considered one of the best in the state. In Brady Sims and Fletcher Daugherty we had two of the best hinders in the state. The team loses by graduation Captain Harry Scott, Brady Sims, Kemmit Burton, Wilmer Scott, Albert Powell, William Gatain, and Donovan Dailey. With the veterans from last year and with several new men, who give promise of surpassing the playing of the old, Coach Heavner expects to put on the diamond this year a team that will outclass an team that Victory has ever had in baseball.

However, tin school made a creditable showing, as well, if not better, as some of the schools which have had track teams for years. This gave us hope, and with a little more experience we expect to have one of the best track teams in the state. Only one man was placed, Frank Rollins, who took fourth honors in pole vaulting. The credit for Ibis good work goes to Mr. Yager, the Manual Training Instructor, who devoted bis spare moments in teaching the boys to run, jump, pole vault, hurdle and throw tlu1 weights. In the meet, Frank Rollins was entered in the ioo yard dash, high jump, pole vault, broad jump, discus, and the javelin throw, making the fourth place in the pole vault. Robert Zehfuss entered in the broad jump, 220 yard dash, 220 low hurdles and the relay. Forrest Poling entered in the broad jump, 440 yard dash, 220 yard dash and the relay. Quincy Beard (Mitered in the too yard dash, 440 yard dash, pole vault and the relay. Beard will be missed very much by the team this year as lie is attending Business College now. Paul Stewart and Herman Reuter were contestants in the hammer throwing, and the shot put events. Chester Reid entered in the one mile and also the two mile race and finished up well in both, but did not place. This record is not a bad one and we hope with the assistance of Mr. Yager and others, to make a satisfactory record for our school. y _ Robert Zehfuss ’22. THE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM I his year iias been one of the most successful for the Victory girls’ basketball team as only one game was lost during the whole season. As a reward for their unceasing efforts the girls were permitted to enter the girls' tournament at Spencer. Ruby Dennison, center, was awarded a bronze medal for receiving honorable mention at the tournament. The team was under the supervision of Miss Vern Matthew.
