w- -use rl' 1 11-:il .mm THE VICTORY ANNUAL 1925 Senior Class History We the class of '25 entered upon our high school career in the year of '21. We were a husky group of freshies g and started with the vlm and vigor that has kept us growing through the four wonderful years of our sojourn in Victory High School. The officers chosen by the class the first year performed their duties admirably and through their guidance it is of little Wonder we advanced into the Sophomore ranks like veterans. During this year we came to realize we had many things yet to learn. While Sophomorfs we were the largest class in school, and we were Well represented in athletics, musical productions and various other organ- izations of our school. We began our Junior year feeling rather dignified and each one highly anticipating the forth-coming events. For this most important year we elected Donavan Faust, president, William Carr, vice-president, Marie Prim, secretaryg and Wilburn Phares, treasurer. This year our class published the fifth edition of the Victory Annual which was a great success. Another outstanding event in this notable year was the J unior-Senior reception which was only a continuance of our obvious success. .We could hardly wait for the school year of '24 and '25. School opened September 6th, and although this was to be our last year in old Victory High School, we begun our duties cheerfully, and also began to feel the necessary importance and dignity of Seniors. Our officers for this year are Howard Robinson, pres'dentg William Carr, vice-president, Freda Minter, secretary, and Flora Floriana, treasurer. For our advisors we chose Mrs. Luzader, Miss Minter, Miss Ward and Mr. Beckett. All of Whom have advised and directed us at all times, making our last year :1 happy and successful one. We chose for our sponsor Judge John C. Southern, one who is always interested in Victory and its welfare. We know we could never have chosen one better. We were well represented in Athletics by Harold McClung, Wilburn Phares, Edward Bonk, Robert Ford, William Carr, Noel Madera, Charles Hamrlck and Lester Bolhman. In girls athletics by Freda Minter, Flora Floriana, Gladys Crimm and Marie Prim. The members of the Class of '25 have met with great success in their high school life, and we sincerely hope that the spirit which they have manifested during their high school career will remain with them and guide them happilly and successfully through the years that are to come.

'EY' THE VICTORY ANNUAL 1925 Senior Class Prophecy Station K. D. K. A. Pittsburg now broadcasting. The first number on our program this evening will be a violin solo by James Taylor, the next number Freda Minter and Noel Maderia, famous Metropolitan singers, will sing selections from Carmen. We listened intently and we were aston- ished at the way they had developed their musical talents. We listened to several other numbers, but they did not interest us as did the numbers rendered by our formfer classmates. We then turned to station W. E. A. F. New York which was just ani nouncing that Virginia Martin would sing Mother Machree accompanied by Glenna Haskins. The next number, Dr. Marie Primm would give a lec- turue on Heridity and Environment. This recalled to us the heated arguments Primmy had, at Victory on the same subject. While trying to get station W. O. S. Jefferson City we got a new station W. V. H. S. We heard the name of Howard Robinson which we immediately recognized as our class Pres-dent. We found that this station was located at Victory High School in the meeting rpom of the Crystal Club. Howard was to tell what each member of the class of 1925 had contributed to the World. We heard him say that William Rhul Carr was now a doctor in John Hopkins Hospital 3 Mary and Lena Fox are at the head of the English Department in the largest school in the United States, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Donovan Faust was our assistant chemist at Victoryg and Betty Warren fs Head Chemist at West Virginia University. Pauline Goff was keeping house for some lucky man, Charles Hamrick was writ- ing poetryg Anna Johnson married a wealthy farmer. John Kirkpatrick heard the call of The West and was now back in his home town. Betty E. Morrison is a stenographer for Karl Showalter who is President of the Empire National Bank at Clarksburg. Hensil McDaniel is an electrician. Freda Minter, Virginia Martin, and Philip Cammer are famous Opera. Sin- gers: Gladys Crimm is teaching Domestic Science at Vassar College, and Flora Floriana is Head of the Physical Education Department, Betty Morrison is Dean of Women at Columbia University, Adjenor Fevrier was a Pharmacist, Myrtle Redfox owns an exclusive hat hop in New York. Neil Bennet and Flossie James own the Keith Circuit, Lester Bolhman is an Autojunk dealer for the Bond firm, Ethel Fornash was the wife of a prominent farmer, Guy Powell was a teacher of Mechanical Drawing at Victory High School 3 Frankie 'Barnes was teaching at the .public school at Crooked Run. Harold Crimm was a famous oratorg' Nellie Murray was teaching Mathematics in Bridgeport High School. We then heard shouting and we wondered what news, but then we soon announce to the radio fans that Lyle Murphy had carried the third sena- torial district by a thousand votes from Paul Funk, whom we recalled as the President of the Junior class of 1925. Frances McDaniel is now the owner of a popular Tea Room and Ona Tomes had married Rolland Vernon, and, that Mollie Shaw had won for herself a record as a teacher. Louis Bauld was Professor of Mathematics in Harvard University. Katherine TWENTY-EIGHT , . , A V g i . 1 , -.,, ' . I -' i ii , ' i
