.gi sire.. wit 4 Cleo Purvis, Senior Quarter- batk: One of the finest competi- tors ever to play for Corrigan, Cleo was a fine leader on the field. His ball handling and fine defen- sive play earned him a spot on the seiond all-district team, and his spirit and determination earned him a spot in the hearts of Bull- dog fans. Henry D. Pope, Senior Full- back: A fine runner and punter, Henry D. was a very vital part of the Bulldogs offense as well as a fine defensive halfback. In his four years of high school, Henry D. has made outstanding contri- bution to athletics at C. H. S. His graduation will leave a vacancy that will be hard to fill. The second game of the season saw the Bull- dogs playing host to the Orange B Tigers. The locals jumped into a tommanding lead early in the game with Cleo Purvis and Buddy Chisolm leading the offense and jerry Maxey and Donald Spurlock spearheading the defense. The Bulldog reserves again saw plenty of action as the final score read 45-1-i in favor of Corrigan. Marvin C. Slusher, Senior Halfback: A clever runner and a good pass receiver, Marvin was an invaluable part of the Bulldog of- fense. He will be best remembered for his blocking and tackling, sinre he rarely faced an opponent as small as he was. Despite this hand- ieap, Marvin was always happiest when, the leather was popping.
