Athletic Association The Bloxora High School athletic Association was, in the beginning, a very sraall organization. In 1946 the school needed money badly to buy athletic equipment. There seemed no way to raise the necessary money, so Mr. Vernon Lankford suggested that the high school students raeet in one of the class rooms and each donate at least 1.00. This is how the association got its start. From there it continued to grow as our new Principal, Mr. .Thomas Phillips, created much interest in school athletics in the community, A ministral was put on by local talent and it proved to be one of the great successes at Bloxom High. Over 4300.00 was donated very generously by the participants to the Athletic Association. Now that Bloxom has a thriving organization, we are looking forward to sponsoring a play entitled Charlie’s Aunt which should not only put more money in the Athletic Association, but should create more interest in dramatics in the school and on the Shore.
