Victoria High School
Football Team 1946/1947

This photo is missing.  It was labeled "Football Squad of '46" with names and was signed by: Linemen: Rudy White, Willie Barnes, Ralph Porterfield, Charles Powell, Alfred Clark, Woodie Slayton, John Abbitt. Q-back: L. S. Bowden Backs: Glenn (Spec) Booth, C. C. White, Jackie O'Brien


Note:  We would appreciate another copy of this photo if anyone has a copy.  In the fall of 1946, a number of World War II veterans (previous VHS graduates) returned to VHS to pick up subject(s) needed for college entrance. "Veteran" is placed by their names.  Year of graduation was not determined in some cases. - Jo Lee Spears
