Class History PREVIOUS RECORD OF 1953 SQUAD One sunny autumn day in 1941, the stadium. Black Mountain Grammar School, was crowded with students and parents, who had come to see the brand new first grade team of 128 members perform in their starting game. A few years passed; years of preparation in learning the plays of reading, writing, and a- rithmetic. The team developed from water boys to bench warmers, and some even got to play in the big games. Then one day, the now much larger members prepared to enter a very important game on anewfield, Black Mountain High School. Madam coaches Woody and Walker, and master coach Seawright, led the striving team of 99 members to a very successful season during the ninth grade. The real spirit was kept at top-rate by the Mistress Captain, Evelyn Cooper, and her cheerleaders. That year also scored a big hit due to the publishing of the program “The Ninth Newcomer ’’. The next year found the 85 members ready and prepared to run any play which might con¬ front them or try to block their way. During this quarter, the team was successfully led by Miss Waugh, Mrs. McMurray, Mr. Byrd, and Captain Wilburn Waters. The Junior team, being one of determination, tackled problems of concession stands which were composed of magazine sales, Halloween Carnival, and other money-raising funds. They played a well-fought game during the first half so that they would be in good shape for the Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom in the last quarter. Tokens of class rings were also obtained by the team. After playing with their team mates for three years, many gave their places on the squad to the new substututes; who followed and came through with shining colors. That year ' steam was proud of its coaches, Mr. Byrd, Mrs. Headlee, and Miss Saunders, and much praise went to the president, David Corkran, for outstanding signals which he gave to the team. Now that the senior squad is approaching the final game of the season in June, each team mate is determined to run down the future’s field and score a successful and outstanding touch¬ down, which will place them in the starting lineup for whatever may be their life’s goal. The team of 56 well deserving seniors, sparked by captain, Rose Candler, owes much of its season ' s success to its patient head coaches and friends, Mrs. Perley and Mrs. McCoy, for without them, its last game would have been a failure and a loss. As they, carrying the title of “Graduates of 1953 , march out of the high school stadium, they will recall the guidance and friendliness of their team mates. However, their fondest wishes will still be in the red brick building as they cheer the other teams on to victory. Ann Sawyer Class Historian
