team spirit propels winning gridiron Eff one hears of BE's tradition in sports, he automatically thinks of the famous Battling Bishops spirit. Perhaps this has been the secret formula that propelled the athletic teams rocket to success. So much has been said, written and done about this fair play, die-hard, never defeated spirit that it has become a integral part in the history of the high school on Calhoun Street. Although the impressive win-loss record on the following pages is laudable, it is this ever- present Battling Bishops spirit that is the atheletic department's most note worthy contribution to the time capsule.

Co-captain's Bill Robinson Under the watchful eye of grid Coach Hank and Mickey Jones await their team. Miller and with the aid of a new athletic director, Father Richard Condon, who was quite a BE athlete himself in '46-47, the Battling Bishops rolled to a impressive 7-3 record. In the 1959 season's opener the favored Bishops were upset by a spunky St. Paul's team 'I2-6. The Bishop's lone touchdown came in the fourth period on an Enter to Cooper pass play. The PAT tailed. The inspired Pirates hung on to down the die-hard Bishops. Against the North Charleston Blue Devils the Greenies fared better. A stout defensive unit, widely known in the Charleston area as the Cannibals , dug in against the heavier lmps to carve out a 'I3-O victory. The offensive spark was provided by Harry Wertan and Skippy Davey. In the first quarter, Wertan got loose on a 27 yard scoring spurt. Later in the 3rd period Davey intercepted a pass on the Bishops' 14 yard line and set sail on a spine-tingling touchdown run. Jimmy Kerr added the extra point.
