I am thinking of my school days Of my golden school days past, As I start on life’s long journey Of my yet unfinished task. And I sometimes hone and wonder If the world will give to me. Friends with whom to share my joy As in dear old Victory. Will the sun shine any brighter? Will my heart from care be free? Ae it was in dear old Victory With the class of twenty-three? Will the world be any kinder Than in my Victory home? On sea or land or where I stand If I should chance to roam ? Will there be any green clad hills, Rising up to meet the sky? Such as the ones that always stand Around old Victory High ? No, classmates, this is heaven Compared with the outside world. Where strife and toil is meant for all And life is but a whirl. But never get downhearted When you leave old Victory Hi, Just keep on fighting once you’ve started And your work will never die. We must climb the ladder of success And dive in life’s deep pool. If we do this we’re bound to be A credit to our old school. TWENTY-EIGHT Senior Class History MAE HALL ’23. HE James H. Heavner class of 1923 has the honor of being the first class to start its work at Victory High School. As Freshmen we bore the insignia “Freshie,” and wore the color “Green,” with marked distinction. In our first year we had such pilots as Russell Adams, president; Pauline Bond, secretary; Jean Hamrick, treasurer. Our class colors were gold and purole. We were well represented in all school activities; in the operetta, “Miss Cherrvblossom,” by Virginia McFarlin, Jean Hamrick, Viola Kirkpatrick. Pauline Bond, Virginia Davisson, and Russell Adams. In athletics, by Clarence Bow, Louis Bitonti, Russell Adams, Paul Stewart and John Mayes. We ended our first year’s work very happily with thoughts of being a step higher on the ladder the next year. On September 16, 1920, we appeared at Victory as Sophomores. At our first meeting we elected, Paul Stewart, president; Lester Fitzpatrick, vice-president; Hazel Writesell, secretary; Viola Kirkpatrick, treasurer. We had a very successful year and one that fully prepared us for the dignified Junior position. We still maintained our record of having the largest representation of any class, in all school functions. In the musical comedy, “The Garden of the Shah,” we were represented by Christine Moine, Alice Gillot, Jean Hamrick, Ruth Corbin, Virginia McFarlin, Marguerite Wyckoff, Virginia Davisson and John Scott. In athletics, both boys and girls of the class of ’23 still made an average showing. We began our Junior work September 13, 1921. When we clothed ourselves in the Junior mantles, we were too small. However, we made alterations and added many new touches, such that the old mantles had a new appearance. For guides, directors and pilots this year, we elected John Scott, president; Herman Reuter, vice-president; Irene Bever, secretary ; Arthur Whitener, treasurer. In the operetta, “The Glass Slipper,” the following Juniors stepped into the leading parts: Christine Moine, Boyd Madill, Arthur Whitener and Jean Hamrick. In athletics we were represented by Paul Stewart, John Scott, Louis Bitonti, Clarence Bow, Edison Fittro, Hubert Bever and Boyd Madill. As the third year of our work closed we found many new problems facing us. First of all, we had to realize that we were Seniors. My! How thrilling the word sounded. However, the sound was not all, for when we came to Victory, September 11, 1922, we no longer had to file into the building through the side door, but we were given the exclusive privilege of the front entrance. Our class advisers this year were Miss Verne Matthews, Miss Bonnie Boyles and Mr. Clyde Hertzog. Our officers were: Arthur Whitener, president; John Mayes, vice-president; Irene Bever, secretary, and William Barth, treasurer. This year as heretofore, the class has had its share of honor in all phases of the school’s work. In leaving Victory to travel our separate paths in life’s winding ways, we feel that we shall always look back to our school and our teachers as the tangible things that bind us to the happiest days of our life. TWENTY-NINE Senior Class Prophecy) VIRGINIA McFARLIN ’23, HUBERT BEVER ’23. HE lots having decreed that we should foretell the fates, at the close of the next twenty years of the members of the James H. Heav-ner Class, we felt that it would be a very depressing revelation because of the unkindness of fate to put a task upon Seniors especially since we had never considered the future beyond our commencement day. However, this was more easily solved than we imagined, for one day while experimenting in the chemistry laboratory, fate showed her first kindness by having us stumble upon a mixture of certain chemicals (which cannot be divulged, because we shall never know) that the numerals 1943, and following them as panaroma of the members of the class of 1923 in the roles they were to assume in future life. First there passed before our startled gaze, John Scott seated in the secretary’s office of the Fairmont Y. M. C. A. Next, a speaker addressing a large audience. Glancing at the placard posted upon the platform imagine our surprise at seeing Gladys Upton’s name upon it, announcing her as the greatest political speaker of the day. Next, upon the cloud there appeared two very business-like persons just entering a large brick building. Upon taking a closer look we perceived that they were Boyd Madill and Marguerite Wvckoff. A little closer scrutiny showed us that these two famous dancers had a wonderful studio and catered only to the revival of the Oriental and Aesthetic dances. Next we saw explaining the merits of the newest creation in aeroplane, John Mayes, inventor of the “Mayes Plane.” Wayne Cunningham, our once star commercial student was salesman. Then appeared Lucy Reynolds giving a grand ball on Fifth Avenue. She was one of the most popular of New York’s society leaders. In a dense part of the cloud came a large stage, and in its midst stood Victory’s noted soloist, Christine Moine. And then to our astonishment we saw Arthur Whitener playing her accompaniment. They were billed as the leading attraction of the Metropolitan Opera House. We next saw a large office room and seated at the desk was Lester Fitzpatrick, general superintendent of the M. R. P. Co. In one corner of the room was a charming young lady whom we recognized as his chief secretary and as a member of the class of ’23, Irene Bever. Suddenly there loomed into the midst a large church. A bride and groom were coming down the aisle. Upon their approaching nearer we saw that they were Ruth Taylor and Noel Sommerville. When we looked around we caught a glimpse of the smiling face of the minister and recognized our classmate, Walter Martin. The beautiful strains of the wedding march poured forth and we at once knew that these were produced by the gentle touch of Alice Gillot. THIRTY Now we noticed a well filled court room and a woman lawyer was earnestly pleading a case. We soon perceived from familiar gestures that the lawyer was none other than our old classmate, Virginia Davisson. The judge who was presiding over the case in a quiet and dignified manner was Marie Talkington. Next, there appeared a work-shon in which we could see Lyle Bates, the inventor of the radio circuit which eliminates the interference of static from radio communication. Lyle was busily at work upon another circuit. Now we observed from the bill-boards that Jean Hamrick had become one of our leading actresses. She was noted in high school for her many love affairs and engagements. Across the valley there appeared a large manufacturing plant. Upon closer observation we knew it to be the Grasseili Chemical plant at Ziesing. On the name plate blazed the old familiar name Louis Bitonti, superintendent. We next saw a hospital. Surely none of our classmates would be here. But, Lo, and behold we recognized the smiling face of Ruth Corbin as head nurse, while the doctor with whom she was conversing proved to be Everett Brand. Now there appeared a busy scene upon a mine tipple. Certainly some one must superintend the operations, and as the world knows, the members of the class of ’23 take the precedence, so here was Herman Reuter in all his dignity, wielding the scepter of authority. Millinery!! Millinery! Thousands of people come rushing bv wearing the latest in hats. We now saw Clemence Girard as owner of Mi-Lady Hat Shop” on Broadway, and whom we at once recognized as responsible for the commotion. Seated in a large librarv, Mrs. Vanburan, formerly, Isabel Morgan, was reading Barth’s “Complete Poems.” These poems were written by our old classmate, William Barth. There now appeared a large studio which was apparently deseited. But the person who had owned this studio was evidently a master artist for several paintings hanging on the walls had gold and silver medals from art exhibits attached to them. Upon closer examination we noticed the name of the noted artiste, Pauline Bond. We could now see a meeting of very diplomatic looking people. Among these we saw Mildred Wolverton, who was the first woman to be a member of the president’s cabinet. As the cloud rolled onward there appeared a large bridge under construction. A sign displayed in glaring letters: T. Clarence Bow, Inc., Bridge Contractor, Headquarters Clarksburg, W. a. thirty-one impossible for it is Viola Kirkpatrick, who was doing a great work among the natives of Belgian Congo as a missionary. And then to our great surprise we saw Susie Wilson as Viola’s assistant. Carl Tawney next appeared. It would be difficult to foretell Carl’s future even while at Victory. Here he stood a little more defiant, but just as stately as of old, as the head of the physics department at Wesleyan College. As this scene faded from our view, a large farm came floating like the floating islands of which we had read. In the midst of a beautiful lawn surrounding a farm house, Elizabeth Swiger stood ringing the dinner bell. But who is this coming, winding his weary way from the newly plowed field? We recognized in the farmer-husband, our old classmate, Edison Fittro. A large school building with tiny tots scampering over the lawn carried us back to our childhood days. The tolling of the school bell, called the children from their play. As they filed in the building they were greeted by May Hall, the historian of the class of ’23, but now superintendent of Revnoldsville Public School. A business section of a city loomed up before us. In the heart of this section was a large stock exchange. A prominent looking man came out smiling as he put a roll of bills into his pocket. As the smile broadened we knew it to belong to the clear cut features of Paul Stewart. A card fell from his pocket. When we nicked this up it revealed the fact that he had reached his one ambition, “Owner of the Stewart Oil and Gas Company.’’ Our eves were almost blinded when on the dear old gym at Victory appeared the stately and graceful Oddie Musgrave, leading her classes forth for work in physical training. A very imnortant looking document came floating before us. We slipped up and looked over her shoulder to discover that Blanche Criss, who completed her work at Victory in three years, had turned out to be one of our greatest diplomats and had been appointed ambassador to England. Next, we saw a Redpath Chatauqua tent. Upon its sign of blazing red letters there appeared the name, Mildred Harper, announcing her the main attraction of the evening as an elocutionist. Tourist after tourist passed and among them we saw Lena Fultz, who had inherited a vast fortune, and was traveling in Europe. Now the cloud slowly faded away and all these delightful scenes passed from our view. Formulas, formulas in rapid succession! A man whose temnles were somewhat tinged with grev announced the names of those who had flunked. Well, well, if it wasn’t Clifford McClung, once our chemistry shark, but now head of the department at Victory. Some one entered and raised the windows. A draught of fresh air brought us from under the influence of the drug. We smiled as Mr. Bed-dow said, “I just wanted to see if my formula would work.” THIRTY-TWO THIRTY-THREE Forrest Poling Hazel Shaffer Zula Weaver Allen Swindler Juniors CLASS OFFICERS.

HE members of the class of ’24 began their high school work on the sixth day of September, 1920. We had a class meeting and elected the following officers: Samuel Urso, president; Eugene Powell, vice-president; Virginia Morgan, secretary; Blanche Criss, treasurer. When our class was first organized it consisted of one hundred and four members. However, many have fallen by the wayside, but even yet we boast of one of the largest and of course the best Junior class that Victory has had. At the beginning of our second year we held a class meeting and the following officers were elected: Eugene Powell, president; Virginia Mor- gan, vice-president; Havsel Shaffer, secretary, and Dove Griffith, treasurer. In the fall of 1922, we came to school thinking, only one more year, and then, “Entrance by the Front Door.” The first thing we did was to reorganize, and the following officers were elected: Forrest Poling, president; Haysel Shaffer, vice-president; Zula Weaver, secretary; Allen Swindler, treasurer. On October 27, 1922, we held a Hallowe’en bazaar, the first of its kind ever held at Victory. During the year we have been leaders and helpers in all the social functions. We have the distinct honor of being the first Junior class to have charge of the school annual. We have also established a feature by giving the first Junior class annual play. We do not boast of our achievements because we know that without our teachers’ help we would have failed.

MHK members of the Sophomore Class made their first appearance at the ictorv in the fall ot 1921. The year in manv ways was a remarkable one for us, because w’e were deeply tinged with the h i eshmens ignorance, stupidness and but-in-ness. However, having such officers as: James Taylor, president; Charles Hamrick, vice-president; Marie Primm, secretary and Flora Floriana, treasurer, to look after all our trying problems, it is little wonder to see us falling into the Sophomore ranks like veterans. This year we have given of our best to the school. We have had for our officers: Charles Newbrough, president; James Taylor, vice-president; Freda Minter, secretary and Gladys Crimm, treasurer. While the members of the Sophomore Class have been kept busy, steering, guiding, directing and advising many wayward Freshmen, nevertheless, we are proud to say, that we have found time to participate in all school functions. We had a large representation in the athletics, musical productions and the Debating Club. As our school life glides by, we hope to make each year mean more to the school and the principle for which it stands. THIRTY-EIGHT THIRTY-NINE F resk resnmen Class Officers.

AVING come into “our own,” and thinking that the world was looking to us for advancement, we entered high school. We did not realize the vastness of the job until we took full charge of the “Emporium,” when Victory opened for its fourth term. On September 13, we met for the first time, and elected the following students to sit in judgment on all matters pertaining to “our school”: Harold Weaver, president; Less Shaffer, vice-president; Marie Haptonstall, secretary; Nellie Bennett, treasurer. The second meeting was held in the school auditorium October 8. At this time we selected red and white for our class colors. The more serious affairs of the school being placed upon us, we have had little time for the frivolities of school life, consequently, our social life has been but a minor consideration. During this year some of our class have fallen by the wayside, and perhaps may spring up in the verdant soil next fall, while those who have withstood the strenuous life will probably occupy seats of the ‘‘Mighty Sophomores.” 4 FORTY-ONE Alumni Oflfi cers 1922-1923 Carl Nichols ’22 Elfie Trunick ’22 .

Paul Stewart .............................................. A Plodder William Barth .............................. (Whatever is, is right) Girls.......................... Virginia Davisson and Mildred Harper Paul—Work! Work and more work is all I have. (Enter Bill ) Paul—Well, why are you here? Bill—Now, listen, Paul, don’t get sore. If you’ll help me with this book report, I’ll never ask you for another— Paul—Really, Bill, don’t you ever get tired of that same old line? You have told me the same thing for the last three years. Now here is the final. I’ve got on to you now. I’ve asked other members of the class and find you have borrowed all your reports, ever since you started in the Freshman year. When you get vour diploma it will not be presented to the fellow who has earned it, and it should be regarded the same as the Kaiser regarded the Peace Treaty. Bill—That’s cowbells, I knew you were intended for a moralist, all right, but for heaven’s sake, don’t feel under obligations on that line. All I ask of you is just one report, and I’ll swear fidelity to you ever after. Paul—There is no use to talk, I’m already expelled myself. Bill—When, and how come? Paul—About fifteen minutes ago. Bill—Now stop, you’re kidding me. You know you couldn’t, you wouldn’t squeal on me. Paul—No, I couldn’t now because I already have. So there’s the end of all. Oh, yes, I knew vou were trying to find me. So when Mildred mentioned it to me, I became enranged and demeaned her. I accused her of being in league with you. So she reported me and the principal told me he could tolerate me no longer. Now, behold in me your own works and then, for my sake, be the chum I thought you were and let me give you some of the compensation you merit. Bill—Now, see here, Paul Stewart, Dlease don’t refuse me now. We’ll be partners in this affair after this and we’ll work it this way. You give me just this one report and I’ll make a clean breast of the whole affair. What do I care to be called up before the faculty? You know they can’t blame you for this thing because always before, you have been a model student. How can they be able to prove anything, anyhow? FORTY-THREE Paul—Now I’m through. It is not only the reports you have borrowed from me, but Bill, I thought you had more principle than to play the sneak on my private affairs. I don’t see how I could have been so blind all this time. I suppose I was just under the spell of Virginia’s superior knowledge. For although I know now she was never worth one minute of mv time, I confess she is the best student in the Senior Class. Bill—Honest, as I live, Paul, she is nothing to me. How you can be so absurd is beyond my comprehension,—when you know Mildred is and always will be the only one to me. Paul—Now Bill, don’t add insult to treachery. Not two hours ago, I saw you and Virginia slip away. I saw you return and also heard my name used in these terms, “O! he’ll give them to you just because it will please me.” Then you said, “Oh, he’s easy, all right. I’ll bring him to time.”—Well, maybe I am—just try me. Gee, I’m tired—tired—tired. (He falls asleep. Bill leaves.) Scene II—An hour later. Paul sitting by the desk, asleep. Bill—(enters as bell rings)—Poor old fellow, I knew you were dead to the world, so I just let you sleep through the other period. My dear boy, you have entirely too much work so Virginia and I have decided to put you through these lecture courses. (Shows note). Paul—(trying to act as if he has not been asleep)—Why—why—when did you come in here? Weren’t you in here awhile ago? Bill—(not wishing to remind him of their quarrel)—Just now—and old boy, just listen— Paul—Then it wasn’t true? Bill—What are you talking about? Paul—Oh! Bill, I thought you and I had a quarrel, and that I was expelled —and that Virginia— Bill—(Laughing)—That’s too bad. Mildred and Virginia have made you a nice copy of the lecture notes of the last period, and we thought you would be refreshed sufficiently for a quiet little time—just we four— (whispers to Paul). Paul—Refreshed! Sufficiently! Lead on, Sir Courtney Plaster, Jack Dashlight will follow and we will feast with Robin Hood and his merry men. Friendship is the only thing in the world that is really and truly tangible. KORTY-SOUK n he Coast of Beaming Ligkts JOHN J. CHAPEL ’24. I stood upon the river’s bank And gazed across the way. The nearer shore ’pon which I stood Was clad in green and gray, While over there on rocky lands Success did shine behind A mountain steep whose rugged sides I thought I’d never climb. But leaving all of worldly goods The soft green grass no more I straightway plunged into the stream And swam for that distant shore. From day to day I struggled on And was swept back by the stream, Until at last I reached the land In the distance I had seen. The wav was steep, the rocks were sharp, As upward I did climb, But every step that took me up The sun did brighter shine. I thought that I was all alone Where no one trod before.. When suddenly a voice cried out, You’re welcome to our shore. And I perceived a long lost friend That left me years ago, The light and others yet a score Looked down on me below, With helping hand I was lifted up To a summit that always shines. And looking forth behind a sight That was indeed sublime. While looking back upon the plains, The stream I crossed below, I often wonder what it was That led me to do so. It was the call of dreaming souls From the mountain top sent forth, To every human who will strive And hearing plight their troth. Son onward, upward did 1 climb The mountain’s rugged crest, Until I reached the point on high Where I could reach success.

The work of this department is not confined strictly to the classroom work. The Victory Glee Clubs and the Orchestra have made an enviable reputation for themselves the past year. Aside from the numerous entertainments which the music department has furnished for Victory, it has also been called upon to function at various places throughout the district. This year the clubs gave their annual production, “The Windmills of Holland.” FIFTY Orchestra Personnel Conductor—Miss Verne Matthew. First Violins.

Alice Gillot FIFTY-ONE Dramatic Club OR the past three years there had been a great demand for a dramatic organization in our school. The pupils who appeared in the various plays, operettas and public programs gave evidence of talent which, if properly developed, would give to the public such production that would bring this phase of the school work up to a standard of recognition. In the fall of 1922, a Dramatic Club was organized for the Juniors and Seniors. Meetings were held regularly on Thursday afternoons. The work this year has in general been a study of the evolution of the stage, the one-act play, the little theatres and their productions throughout the year, and the public presentation of plays. Some of the plays studied were: “Sixteen One-Act Plays,” by Cohen; “The Washington Square Plays,” the plays of Anatol France and the Drama Magazine. While the club is new in this line of work, it is a step taken into a field that opens up possibilities to almost every student. The officers: Christine Moine, president; Viola Kirkpatrick, secretary; W. Clyde Hertzog, director and coach. Debating Club The Debating Club of Victory High School was organized in 1922 by Messrs. Harold Morgart and David Pierce. The High School was represented in the District Contest held last April by Gladys Upton, David Nichols and Carl Nichols. David Nichols, by virtue of winning the extemporaneous speech represented this district at Morgantown in the State Contest. Before the school year closed the officers for 1923 were elected. Gladys Upton as president and Miss Ethel Minter as teacher advisor. Due to the wish of the founders of the club, the name was changed from the Pierce-Morgart Debating Club to the Lincoln Debating Club. During this year the club has had three outside contests, winning two and losing one. In the District Contest in March, the club was represented in every department. FIFTY-THREE The Lecture Course of Victory High School this year was under the management of the Senior Class. The numbers were: Oct. 13—Daddy Groebecker’s Swiss Yodelers. Dec. 11—Plymouth Male Quartette. Jan. 8—S. Platt Jones (Impersonator). Jan. 30—Judge George D. Alden, whose subject was, “The Needs of the Hour.” March 14—The Pierces. The course as a whole this year was one of the best Victory has ever had. The lecture course is proving to be one of the big features of our school. One of the best parties of the year was the Senior party given in the Odd Fellow’s Hall, October 31, 1922. The decorations were wierd, representing witches, jack o’ lanterns, and ghosts. A color scheme, of orange and black, was carried out in all appointments. Many unique original costumes were worn. Various forms of entertainment in keeping with the season were enjoyed by all. A Junior Bazaar was held October 27, 1922, An admission was charged for the ones who were not masked. Many prizes were awarded for the different styles of costumes. Several features of entertainment were introduced such as, cake walk, guess cake, fortune telling booth and fish pond. Refreshments of all kinds were on sale. Senior Hallowe’en Party. Junior Bazaar. FIFTY-FOUR Friendship Club The purpose of the FRIENDSHIP CLUB, is to teach every girl to live such a life that she may be a worthy example for some one else. The Victory High School FRIENDSHIP CLUB was organized in the spring of 1922 under the supervision of the Y. W. C. A. While the club has been organized less than two years, its worth and practical value has been felt among the student body. Officers for 1922, 1923: Virginia Fitzpatrick Ruth Bussey ..............

The team of ’22 was the best that ever played for the Orange and Black school, defeating such teams as Buckhannon, Pennsboro and Fairmont and holding the “State Champs” (W. I.) to an 18 to 20 score. M Our fullback, Guy Radcliff, was placed on Stansburv’s All State team. He also won the trophy offered by the Clarksburg Telegram for the most valuable man on the team.

I. 20 Victory High School 6 Elkins 27 Victory High School .... 13 Fairmont 7 SIXTY-TWO JESSE RODRIGUEZ. Halfback. (Sophomore). “Jesse.” That name makes us think not of a man but of a mule, because of his mighty kick. His punts averaged between 55 and G5 yards. His toe will be with us for two more years. “The Sky is the Limit.” LOUIS BITONTI. Halfback. (Senior). “Louie” was shifted from the line to the back field. There was one of the four aces. GUY RADCLIFFE. Fullback. (Sophomore). “Dock Quack,” who won the Telegram Trophy was the battering ram of the Victory back field. When he hit the line it jarred the entire opposing team. CHARLES XEWBROUGH, Captain. Quarterback. (Sophomore). “Chip’s” head work at all times held the ball in the enemy’s territory or put it across the goal line for a touchdown. He has two more years in which to spread his fame over the country. SIXTY-THIiftE . CLARENCE BOW. Center. (Senior). Bow was the pivot man of the team. He always got his men and was ready to help any one who needed him. Bow, in reality has played only three years football for he did not play in a game the first year. WILBURN PHARES. Tackle. (Sophomore). Phares was one of the men that formed a nucleus of this year’s team. Much credit must be given him for his ability as a linesman. JOE BILLOTTI. End. (Sophomore). Joe, a veteran man was shifted from guard to end. He was always full of pep and if there was a man on the team who fought, Joe was the one. KELLEY RODRIGUEZ. End. (Freshman). Kelley played his first year with Victory, but played like a veteran at a wing position. SIXTY-FOUR PAUL STEWART. Guard. (Senior). This was “Fats” first year as a “Varsity” man but this did not handicap him in the least. He transformed his 180 pounds into a stonewall and-------------, no gain. “Fats” will be missed next year. RAYMOND BOYLES. Tabkle. (Junior). “Ramy” was a very useful member of the line this year. His fighting spirit did not lag at any time. He will be a great help in building up. FORREST POLING. Guard. (Junior). Poling was the baby of the line this year, weighing only 148 pounds. Due to his quickness very few gains were made through his guard. He has one more year to take on flesh for Victory. JOHN SCOTT. Substitute. (Senior). John did not know of his ability to play football at the first of the season. He came out late, but won his letter. John was a great asset to the team. SIXTY-FIVE NOEL MADERIA. Substitute. (Sophomore). “Dearie” was another of the men handicapped by injuries. “Dearie” suffered a broken shoulder the first of the season, but was back in uniform for the closing: games. LISS SHAFFER. Substitute. (Freshman). Liss has shown great ability along the football line this season. His ability to play in any position that the coach would put him, has made him a great success. RAYMOND GREATHOUSE. Substitute. (Junior). “Dock” played his position well, but luck was against him. He received a fractured arm in the Mannington game and was kept out the rest of the season. SIXTY-SIX SIXTY-SEVEN 4 Basketball FORREST POLING ’23. ICTORY had a very successful season in ’23, winning over some of the best teams in West Virginia. In “Mickey” McClung we had a sensational forward. He was a fast floor man and an excellent shot. Due credit must be given Bow, his running mate. Bow was one of the scrappiest men on the team. The guards, Bitonti and Newbrough, must also be given credit for their work. In these two boys we had two excellent guards. In Radcliffe and Scott we had two good centers and scrappy men on the defense. A. McClung, Phares, J. Rodriguez, K. Rodriguez, Fittro and C. McClung also showed up well when placed in a game. Too much credit cannot be given the entire team for the good sportsmanship it displayed throughout the season. This was due to the high standard of morale which Coach IJeavner established for his working basis. Games.

HAROLD McCLUNG. Forward. (Junior). “Mickey” was the mainstay of the team this year. In 23 games he scored 311 points. Of the points scored 278 were field goals. His shooting ability from all parts and angles of the floor made him a terror to all guards. CLARENCE BOW (Captain). Forward and Guard. (Senior). Bow was one of the main men this year on the basketball team. In him was found a running mate. He was not as good a shot as others but his floor work made up for this. “Doc,” Center. GUY RADCLIFFE. Center. (Sophomore). . , . This small boy has been the pivot man this year. His jumping ability and floor work made him a very valuable man to the team. He is known for his pedestrian qualities. LOUIS BITONTI. Guard. (Senior). Louie’s great guarding made victories possible. Whenever the ball was down on his part of the floor he was in the mix-up. He will be greatly missed next year. CHARLES NEWBROUGH. Guard and Forward. (Sophomore). “Chippie” was a great guard this year, playing the game at all times and at the right place. Last year he was discouraged and did not do much at basketball. His record this year has been exceptionally good. “Bow,” Forward. SIXTY-NINE Horse,” Guard. “Chippy,” Guard. “Raz Center and Guard. JOHN SCOTT. Center. (Senior). “Hickman” was another valuable man. Not every one can play on the team at once so he was made a sub. In what games he played he made a good showing. “Marvel ” Forward. ARLIE McCLUNG. Forward. (Fresh-nan). “Inkey” is a cousin of Mickey “so nough said.” He will make a good man to build a team around next year. “Kelly Forward-Guard. KELLEY RODRIGUEZ. Forward-Guard. (Freshman). Kelley is the baby of the bunch and will be a mainstay in the team if he keeps his present record. Wilb” Guard. WILBURN PHARES. Forward and Guard. (Sophomore). “Wilb. has shown this year that he is not a man to be considered too lightly. SEVENTY “Geometry,” Guard and Center. EDISON FITTRO. Center and Guard. (Senior). “Geometry” played a pood game from every angle. He will be missed next year. “Jesse,” Guard. JESS RODRIGUEZ. Guard. (Sophomore). Jess's great guarding game has made him famous in the eyes of every one. No doubt he will be a valuable man next year. E • Brack, Forward. Boyd Madill, Mgr. CLIFTON McCLUNG. Forward. (Senior). “Cliff” is another man whom the teant needed to make the record it did this year. SEVENTY-ONE Second Basketball Team The second team of Victory High School leaped into prominence early in the season. Lineup. Forwards—Bennett, Baxter, Mayes, Ford, and Powell. Centers—Shaffer and Swindler. Guards—Poling, Bever, Boyles, Minter, and Bond. SEVENTY-TWO SEVENTY-THREE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC REPORT IRENE MASON ’24. HE past basketball season has been the most successful that Victory High School has ever experienced. The outlook for a team was not very encouraging at the beginning of the season, the team having all graduated last vear. But with hard work and good coaching the girls won fame for themselves and the High School. At the Sectional Tournament, at Pennsboro, the Victory girls were runners up and won individual silver basketballs and a loving-cup. At this tournament Pearl Scott won a gold basketball for right guard on first tournament team. The team also attended the State Tournament at Spencer. They were defeated by the fast Moundsville team by one point with an extra period. Hazel Shaffer and Freda Minter won medals for honorable mention as forward and guard. One of the most enjoyable surprises of the year, was the presentation of a large loving-cup by the Ku Klux Klan. Lineup.

As we set befor the fire we riccollected so many funny things that tuk place when vuh wuz in school with us all; so I sez to her sposin we just write and tell ’em they ort for-to visit us oftener. And then yuh no how she acted, well it wuz just az usual, she just up and grinned, and sez uh huh sposin we do and we’ll tell ’em a few things that they thought we wuz tue young tue understand. Woll we riccollect how Ralph got all struck on Vivian, yes and land sakes we no tue that Dutch and Noel both lived the same part of course it wuz different years. Oh but Buck’s picture with Effie surely does recall those winsome smiles. My, my just think of how Cassell used ter wait for Ruth, really it was very near as long as Claude waitin fur Carmen. Then there wuz Pete and Marcella just content so long as nobody interfered. Well certainly we riccollect tue about Brady and Garnet. We all thought sure that wuz his favorite color, but yuh never kin tell. But lavin’ all jokes aside yuh all really did some great things and it iz for these that we all look up tue yuh, becus while we believe in sociability we no yuh caint just become famous fur that alone. On page tue we find yuh all makin a great record in class work. Gee, yuh no we just crave tue keep up the record so that yuh all caint ever be ashamed of us all. Then on page three we all see yuh all just rippin things in athletics. Yuh surely did give everybody a skeer fur yore record is jist wonderful. As we look on page four we see yore names all standin out in bold relief, becus yuh all did so well in the opperetties. We can just see yuh all now in “Miss Cherry Blossoms.” Good thing the cherries wuzent ripe, becus we’d just chopped that old cherry tree down, if we cud found Washington’s hatchet. Then tue we riccollect how well yuh all did in “In the Garden of the Shaw.” Someway it wuz jist such a dear garden, no weeds, nor bugs nor nuthin. We all felt sorry for pore old Sam. However we cud see from the verv start that the Egyptian lady would love him becus he was so kind. I well call to mind how glad we wuz when little Cinderella, just slipped her little mite of a foot right so.uare into “The Glass Slipper,” and then married the Prince. It sure served all the other girls just right, becus yuh no they all didn’t treat Cinderella with the propel respect. Well, we don’t wanta tire vuh all with our first letter but it just seemed as if we wuz full of the spirut that prompted us to write. Yuh no how tiz, that after a fue vears the old records will be all destroyed and maybe yuh all will forgit just what part yuh all did play in some of the school’s activities, so in case vuh all due, just pick up this year book, and vuh’ll always find just what vuh’re lookin fur. The greatest doins of the Senior year is always the class plav. Already the record has been lost of the first SEVKNTY-SEVEN year’s play but sence that time we have been mighty careful to nlace the other records of all sech actions in the safety vault. At this time we are givin yuh the cast fur “Green Stockings.” and “All-Of-A-Sudden Peggy.” Don’t yuh all riccollect how Celia didn’t wanta wear the green stockins and she didn’t have tue wear them rolled either? And then tue there wuz Peggie, just as pert and sorta spry like the made-un women who have a modern head but an antique bust; still she wuz just real cute. Of course these tue girls cudn’t have made the thing go without the others, so we are givin yuh the whole things as it wub on the program: Senior Class Play 1921 “GREEN STOCKINGS” Cast.

SEVENTY-EIGHT Q ke Final Skot A Sin-(o-Iet in two scenes, by one Homer Brew. Scene—Fike Street in front of the Fordvce Building. Personae: Miss Minerva—(Quaker costume). Name of no significance. Mr. Mercury—(Quaker costume). Name of no significance. High School teachers and pupils. Scene I. Miss Minerva and Mr. Mercury discovered walking very rapidly up Pike Street. They stop in front of the Fordvce Building. Several teachers and pupils pass up and down the stairs of the building. Mercury—G’see that? There goes four seniors un the stairs. Pve been watching them sneak from the school building all day. Says I to myself, says I, there is something wrong. I went into the office to report and there stood Miss Ward making a date over the phone. I just stepped back and decided Pd follow her. Now you know why I had the conductor put us o(T at the Angle. It was to cover suspicion. (Enter Miss Ward, two Seniors and Miss Folau. As they go un the stairs, Mr. Brake and Miss LaRue, come down talking.) Mr. Brake—You know I always feel like congratulating myself every time I get shot. Miss LaRue—Really! Why I always feel rather queer. Mr. Brake—Well, you see, I did too at your age, but this man said to me, “This is the thing that will bring back vour vouth.” (Mercury and Manerva creep from behind a telephone pole.) Manerva—Hold my hand, Mercury. I can’t believe it. Surely these are not the teachers to whom we have intrusted our dear children. Mercury—Calm thyself. We have much to do to overcome this. It was lucky I was on the watch-out. (Seniors coming out. Some rub their eyes, others yawn, etc.) Marie Talkington—Gee, that was fierce! Ruth Taylor—Oh, didn’t you like it? I thought it was great. I just feel so giddy, I’d like to give the high school yell. (Several other Seniors pass up the stairs. Later come Mrs. Luzader, Miss Amyx and Mr. Beddow.) Miss Amyx—I came yesterday so as to have it over with but he didn’t have time for me. Mr. Beddow—Well. I’ve been shot so much, I fear if it takes every time I’ll soon be like a sieve. Mrs. Luzader—I never told Mr. Luzader I was coming. He generally tells me that I always come out worse looking than I went in, so I just decided I’d see this time if he could tell any difference. (Manerva and Mercury come closer.) Manerva—Hold me, Mercury. I fear I shall faint. SEVENTY-NINE Mercury—Don’t do that. Wait until we are home. I believe I’ll call the mayor. This, to be going on right here in the very midst of a Christian community. It won’t do Manerva. I must report. (Miss Ward and Miss Folau come down stairs.) Miss Ward—My! howf pale you look, Miss Folau. Miss Folau—No wonder. Why I’m almost staggering. Miss Ward—Well, I feel very nearly overcome myself. Mercury Do you know, Manerva, I have a notion to go un and peep inside the door. Manerva—No, no Mercury. Your cloistered cloak would never fit you again. Look, there comes Mr. Hertzog and Mr. Heavner. Hide yourself. Here hold my hand. I’m almost undone. Mr. Heavner—You know he wasn’t loaded heavy enough for me. When I went into the room, I laughed right out as he switched the tripod (Mercury squeezes Manerva’s hand and whispers.) Mercury—It’s moonshine they are brewing, he said “tripod.” Mr. Hertzog—His proofs were a regular joke; and then that stamp he uses is misleading. Mercury—Say, Manerva. Let's call Mr. Luzader and renort what we’ve seen. Let’s tell him where he’ll find his wife. Scene II. Mercury and Manerva both trying to talk in the telephone at once. Mercury—Hello, is this 2403?—Miss King I want to speak to Mr. Luzader —Mr. Luzader—, Well Manerva and I have made a wonderful discovery—Yes—There’ll be no more jobs for some of our teachers. Yes— Explain!—C-E-R-T-A-I-N-L-Y. We’ve been watching the pupils all day, so says I to myself, says I, I’ll tell Manerva.—I’m trying to—don’t be disturbed, you may be innocent. But let me tell vou, your wife and several of the teachers and Senior haint—I will—I’ll make it so plain that there’ll be no need for your spectacles. Well, these teachers includin’ your wife, have lured the Seniors into a very disrespectful place.—How do I know? Huh, I’ve seen them with my two eyes, arid then we’ve gathered the sense of their talk as they came out—Out of where?—Why out of the Fordvce Building on Pike Street. (A loud laugh is heard.) Manerva—Do tell, Mercury. Is he makin’ fun of ye? Mercury—(Wiping the perspiration from his brow)—No—no—he says he was there this morning himself. Manerva—(Wringing her hands)—Well, if he is that kind, it’s no use to blame the teachers and pupils. To think, what a disgrace he’s brought upon us. Mercury—Be quiet, Manerva. I’m all undone. He says they are visiting the Amon Studio in the interest of having work done for the VICTORY ANNUAL. (Mercury and Manerva both sink to the floor, gasping.) A funeral march should be played. Also the curtain should be just swift enough to give the audience the full benefit of the final struggle. EIGHTY EIGHTY-ONE VICTORY HIGH SCHOOL ZOO S’ OR the past three years there has been quite a demand on the part I of the public for the establishment of a zoo in Adamston. Of J course the high school is the very thing to take charge of the undertaking since it would aid materially in the teaching of the natural science. This year the school housed a very large collection of specimens. Next spring, it is hoped that the Board of Education will purchase suitable grounds so that these specimens may have a more natural habitat. We are hoping that the “Wild Life League” will use its influence in our behalf. Specimens. Birds: The birds at this time include: Walter Martin, Virginia Martin, Mabel Martin, Dove Griffith and Freda Griffin. The Martin bird is not a very rare specimen. Its natural habitat is in the vicinity of North View and Hepzibah. The dove is rather rare. At present there is but one specimen in Adamston. It is noted for its cooing. The Griffin is exceptionally rare. So far as we have been able to find out, this is a mythological bird that kept watch over the gold of Scythia. Horse: At present there is but one specimen of this animal at Vic- tory. “Horse” Bitonti, who hails from Ziesing, is known for his great strength in athletics. The keeper in charge hopes to have him tame enough to turn out to pasture at commencement time. Lyon: The Ivon is the king of beasts. Nancy Lyon has never shown any of the beast characteristics since she has been in high school. This specimen was captured by Mr. Wolverton near Lyon stop. Eight years of careful training has almost domesticated Nancy. Wolf: At present there are two species in our collection: Mildred Wolver-ton and William Wolf. These two species have similar characteristics They are both good eaters and sleepers. Neither, so far, has given any signs of belonging to the wild. Bever: The beaver is an animal that is almost extinct in West Vir- ginia. Victory High School feels very proud to be the possessor of four specimens. This animal is noted for its damming. It will dam anything from a brook to a river. The specimens on hand have been styled: Irene, Hubert, Mary and Cleora. Chanticleer: This specimen is quite common to all farmyards. It also figures in poetry. One of the earliest accounts is found in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Jewel and Gav Cox are the names of these two charming little chanticleers that are kept to herald the coming of morn. Fox: Mary Fox and Lena Fox were captured in the wilds of North View. In the two years that these two foxes have been in Victory they have lost their cunning for all things except good lessons. EIGHTY-TWO ■ Redfox: The Redfox is an animal that lurks in the wilds of Wilson- hurg. Myrtle Redfox has in the past two years thoroughly adapted herself to the routine of school work. She is very quiet, modest and unassuming. Gill: It was thought at first that we could not include George and Paul in with our other list since they were the only specimens of this nature and of course that would necessitate the establishment of an aquarium. However, a good Samaritan said, “We cannot afford to cut out the fish even if we have only the gills, so here’s your money.” George and Paul Gill are perfectly happy when the water is warm. Bernard: It is certainly no harm to be a Bernard since so much value is attached to them. Bernard Greathouse is one amongst many. He is showing up traits that will undoubtedly make him an outstanding figure. Bruin: Louis Bruno missed it just a little in the spelling of his name, but mistakes will haopen in the best of families. When Louis was captured at Revnoldsville last fall and brought to Victorv he gave no signs of that gruff nature which is so prevalent among the Bruin family. Louis will more than likely have a choice spot in the new zoo. Lamb: From Biblical times it has been a custom to pattern do- cility after the lamb. Ralph Lamb was found browsing near Despard school. After a few years training under the careful supervision of Mr. James and his efficient corns of teachers, Ralph had his eyes opened to such an extent that he now bids fair to set a new pace for the Lamb family. By the time school opens next fall, Victory will have made amole provision for the entire collection. There are no intentions however, of making a menagerie out of this affair, but you never can tell just what may happen. We are looking forward to the teachers and oarents of Coal District, to help us out in what we consider to be one of the most important moves the high school has ever made. Report all suggestions and specimens to members of the staff of 1923. EIGHTY-THREE VICTORY ARTS AND CRAFTS HE Arts and Crafts deDartment of Victory has made rapid strides during the past four years. This year several new phases of work were introduced. At present, the following vocations, avocations, etc., are being brought to such a standard of proficiency that several artists will more than likely step into prominence ere long. Specimens. Carder: “The sheep must grow, their wrool must be sheared, carded and spun or we must revert to the fig leaf,” so says Harlin Carder. Fisher: The fisherman trade is an old one that has been rejuvenated, resusitated or in reality brought back to life. Mae Fisher, who is the only one interested in this phase of work, hopes to gather some interesting data. Harpist: “Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast,” and may it ever be so with these. Mildred Harper and Harper Shreves are too new in the profession to have the “ist” on their names but with a little more practice they will have reached that stage of perfection in this art. Huntsman: The “Wild Life League” has undoubtedly been the cause of interest in this phase of school work. Thelma Huntsman has had her curiosity of bear hunting aroused through reading reports of such famous hunters as “Rimfire” Hamrick and James Oliver Curwood. Mason: The only wielder of the trowel is Irene. However, her progress is being watched by several jealous eyes. Smiths: The Smiths in the United States trace their ancestry back to Captain John Smith, whose career was prolonged by the timeful intervention of Pocahontas. The following pupils are pursuing this course: Rose Smith, Amanda Smith, Margaret Smith and Mavmie Smith. Steward: The steward is a name that has been unearthed from depths too deep to mention. Paul Stewart (d) will undoubtedly rise to the superior ranks of a veritable seneschal. Swindler: The term Swindler is borrowed from Texas. It is not a bronco nor any thing pertaining thereto, but just a straight Swindler. The term within itself sounds unlawful, but those pursuing this course, Margaret and Allan Swindler, have so modified its intents that the contents of their actions bid fair to be all that is lawful and abiding. Taylor: Ever since Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, there has been a demand for tailors. The Domestic Art department of Victory has come into its own, through such pupils as Ruth and James Taylor. Walker: Track has not held a very prominent place at Victory. The first girl in this field of athletics at Victory is Beulah Walker. So far as we are able to find out she is the onlv one in this section of the country who is trying to set a pace for the ladies. Beulah will progress more rapidly when there is an occasion for opposition. Wright: The old saying, “Whatever is, is right,” just suits Lawrence Wright. Lawrence is indeed a real workman especially of inventions and schemes that tend to lessen labor. Weaver: The term weaver is not only antique but modern. Hauptmann, in his wonderful drama, “The Weavers,” has drawn a very vivid picture of the weavers of that period. George Elliot has portrayed the Weaver of Ravelowe in a very picturesque manner. The trade is such an enticing one that Zula, Keith and Harold Weaver are somewhat envied. EIGHTY-FOUR “The Red-headed Club” of V. H. S. HE “Red-Headed Club,” of Victory High School is a secret organization second to none. The only objection to the club so far is on account of its record number of members. The membership in this club has not been made a matter of choice but one of providential appointment. During the past year several freaks tried to creep into the club’s mysteries by using “Henna,” but there is never any trouble in recognizing a genuine article. The work of the club this year has consisted practically of routine work. Next year a more extensive program will be put under way early in the school year so that we may not only be seen but heard.

He strolled in and asked her brother: “Is Mary expecting me tonight, Jack?” Her brother—“I guess so. She’s up stairs taking the Dins out of her belt.” A certain dark-haired Senior was quite surprised when Miss Minter told her history class that Dutch settled in New York. “That’s funny, I never knew he ever went there,” exclaimed the little French girl. Boyd Madill—Mr. Hertzog, I positively insist upon having real drinks m the banqueting scene. Mr. Hertzog—If that is the case, you can have real poison in the death scene, also. Lester, speaking of a very delicate subject—Irene, can you wash dishes? Irene—Yes, can you dry them?

It is always embarrassing to speak about the great things that a Senior has accomplished because the under classmen are generally prone to misconstrue the intended meaning. However, since it is the will of the public to have it so we hereby reveal the following things and at the same time we solicit, entreat and demand that you keep them for yourselves. In order to understand the facts which we here reveal to you. we must make mention of our ancestry. As a class we recognize Adam and Eve as our very, very, great-grand-parents. Among the most noted are St. Patrick, St. Nicholas, Juno, Venus, Ymir and Apollo. Now in case these seem a little too remote for your comnrehension, we make mention of George Washington, John Paul Jones and Florence Nightingale. Should you not be able to put the blame upon these, we cite you to Homer Brew and Virginia Dare. The class enrollment is ................................ 45 The average age is ...................................... 17 The average weight is.............................. 126 lbs. The average height is ..................... 5 ft., 3' 2 in. We hereby testify, verify and avow that these items are correct to date. Given under our hand May 28, 1923. (Seal) SENIORS.

NINETY-SIX 1 HE FOREST PRIMEVAL” (With Apologies) HIS is Forrest Poling, who with Chester Ash, Mildred Bush, Maple Swiger, Maple Hamric, Virgil Leaf, Elwocd Toms, and Haysel Shaffer, stand like sentinels, in the indistinct twilight. These are bearded not with moss, but in garments green and stand like Druids of eld. These are the foods to be garnered: Beulah and William Grapes, Beulah Kearns, Mary Cole and Russell Rice. But who would be so cruel as to taste them—who could be brave enough to resist them ? Yet they sneak, and in accents disconsclale answer the wail of the forest. These are the grasses, wherein the wind rushes, whistles and moans: Yet it disturbs not either Edgar or Brooks Reid. This is the forest primeaval, but where are the flowers that beneath it sprang when the sun kissed the soil and bade them open their eyes; sprang like roe, when he hears in the woodland the voices of the huntsman ? Then from beneath the dry leaves and the rootlets, silently and quickly peeped forth: Myrtle Dawson, Myrtle Redfox, Lille Cade, Lille Walters, Marguerite Wvckoff, Rose Smith, Rose Zann, Rose Caleric and Rose Heater, Violet Bragg, Violet Shipley, Pansy Hooper. These are the flowers of the forest that sprang forth to bask in the sunlight.

In Victory High School the classes have ever been busy; Lads and lassies well fed from the wonderful stores of knowledge, And by their evening fires report the stories of old, While from the deaths of the coverns, the rumbling sigh of the night wind Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
