. Sport for Full Besides having a fighting gridiron team that provided spectators loads of thrills, C.H.S. was tops in the football entertainment field. The band, now in its fourth year and better than ever, was constantly pulling stunts to the great enjoyment of the spec- tatods. Philip Schley, as the Blue Devil, popped out of an orange and blue barrel at the half of the Central game. Hector Spector, a giant puppet manipulated by the cheerleaders was first unveiled at the Savannah game and later at the Jordan game. Bubbles literally covered Memorial Stadium when practically everyone was blowing for all he was worth to the tune of I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles. The grand climax of the season was the Jordan game where those gorgeous gals, Ann and Gloria, served as the foot- ball sponsors. Then came the halftime and the antics of Mr. Hector Spector.

BILLY WOLF PIERSON-He could be relied on to get under the ball on those long passes . . . a good all-around end. BOBBY THOMPSON-Bobby, one of our most versatile players, has played every position in the line. Fast charging and hard blocking were his merits. Pierson Rowe Wilkinson Olson Thomp
