Knilans — Prendergast REUNION Homecoming 1971 was highlightod by the special reunion in honor of Coach H. M. Knilans and Coach F. H. Prendergast. Coach Knilans, Maker of Champions,” is credited for Byrd ' s wonderful athletic record hetween 1926-1935. In Knilans’ first four seasons, Bvrd played thirty-two games, losing only four. Equally as important, Coach Knilans did not limit his teaching to athlctics, but strove successfully to teach the broader suhject of Manhood. Although Coach F. H. Prendergast was not always in the spotlight of public ac- claim, he deserves a great deal of credit for the part he played in making the Jacket team a success. Festivities for the R »union began on November 6 with registration of attendants. In the afternoon a program and dinner were held in the cafeteria. At this time Mayor Calhoun Allen, Dr. B. L. Shaw, and Coach Jimmy Har- rison welcomed the past graduates. Awards were presented to Coaches Knilans and Pren- dergast, an l the guests loaded buses for the Captain Shreve Stadium, where the Homecom- ing game took place.
