Victory High School - Optic Yearbook (Clarksburg, WV)

Dedication Dedicated: To our parents, who have lovingly guided us through our school years. As on the first day of school they helped us up those many steps, so have they helped us up the steps of our entire school career. In the beginning only fear of this big world of which we had now become an active part reigned over us. Then, as we grew used to this new experience, our problems began to grow also; and we looked to our parents for guidance. Since they were always eager to help us, we placed much of our confidence in them. Their unending devotion and concern for us have given them a place in our hearts which can never be filled by anyone else. Therefore, because they have meant so much to us during the early years of our lives, we are dedicating this, our 1958 OPTIC, to our parents, hoping that it will help repay them for the time they have sacrificed and the love they have given us. Pictured here are several Eagle football players' fathers who were the boys' guests at the annual banquet prepared by these students' mothers who are seen in the background. This is one of the many school occasions which are attended by the students' parents. 3

WE PAUSE TO PAY TRIBUTE TO OUR SPONSOR AND PRINCIPAL Mrs. Lillie W. Morgan was our Class Sponsor and Senior English teacher. To these difficult and exacting jobs she brought interest and understanding as well as a keen sense of humor. She was always ready with advice and encouragement in any situation. We feel that through her efforts, we, as a class have succeeded in what we set out to do, and that through her faithful cooperation this class of 1958 has set a pace yet to be surpassed. Ha! May 28 will soon be here. The quality of mercy is not strained: It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is'twice bless’d— It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes. —SHAKESPEARE “All dressed and ready to go. Deeply admired and respected by everyone is our own principal, Mr. J. Edward Powell, the man on whose shoulders the welfare of the students and the management of the school rests. His personal interest in school affairs has given him a prominent place with the students of V.H.S. We hope he will remember us with pride—for we have been proud of Mr. Powell and Victory High School.
