DEDICATION The Corrigan High School athletic teams have many loyal supporters, all of whom we are very proud. However, there is none more deserving of this dedication than the C. H. S. Band. The band, dressed in blue and white uniforms, is seen at every football game. They are not there just to present entertainment. Usually one can hear bells ringing, horns blowing, and voices yelling from the bands section of the stadium. They are not there just for their own pleasure. They are there to see and to help their team win a game. It the boys do not win, the band members have no less school spirit than before the game began. There is more to be considered than just what one sees at the game. On days before games, Mr. Shelton and the members of the band stay alter school for long hours of practice. During school hours, each ot' the members has a period during the day when he goes to the band hall and gets individual or group advice from Mr. Shelton. On liridays before games the student body goes to the auditorium for a short pep rally. The band plays and usually contributes a great deal ol' the enthusiasm. Bearing all these things in mind, the athletic department takes great pleasure in dedicating this section of the Blue Quill to the Corrigan High School Band.

Cockerell Mr. Ed Ray Mr. james Manchac Head Coach Assistant Coach Assistant Coach The students and all the supporters of Corrigan High School are extremely proud of this coaching staff. There have been rnany events during the past football season which could well cause most persons to become disgusted. However, these three men have always been willing to bear the responsibility for any of these things and they have done it with a smile. They are doing a fine job and we who are associated with them wish to extend a hearty thanks , Donald Spurlock Donald is one of the greatest football players to ever play for the Blue and White. A co-captain this year, he has made the first all district team for the last two years. He was a fierce blocker and tackler and was in the very thitk of the roughest plays. He has set a fine example for future C. H. S. players and he will be greatly missed by Corrigan teams in years to come.
