To many students it will contain the memories of happy moments in a year of their school life. Tothe seniors it will presenta form of success story--an evidence of something long-dreamed of and at last achieved. To our sponsors it has meant hours of worry and agitation over deadlines and the demand of always being ready to lend a helping hand--a hand which has never failed to be there. To me, as editor, it will be a continual satisfaction that I was chosen to head the hard- working and co-operative staff which has produced the 1957 BLUE QUILL. 3 l.

Her ready smile and willingness to help every teacher and student in Corrigan High Schhol are certainly prominent among these reasons. However, there is also something in her personality which affects each of us but cannot be ex- pressed--only felt. It is with this feeling that we dedicate to her the 1957 Blue Quill. 7 Zuxylkaimfaf and Wm Bama' Zami 8 .Ll- 14955 N, 1 f WU 'JI Vx 'Y m y .fs-jfg n- 3 3 4'-'.'7-- - .- 5-'lll-g:iS4.' 5:42512-Egifa.

No national student organization enjoys greater freedom ofself-government under adult counsel and guidance, thanthe Future Farmers of America. The foundation upon which the Future Farmers of America Organization is built includes leadership, and character development, sportsmanship, cooperation, service, thrift, scholarship, improved agriculture, recreation, citizenship, and patriotism. The Future Farmers ofAmerica exists today because of a cooperative spirit and a desire on the part of farm boys, 14 to about 21 years of age, preparing for farming through vocational agricul- ture, to have a national organization of their own in which they may secure practical business experience, act as their own instructors, and enjoy the fellowship of one another.

The P. T. A. has various projects each year in which they raise money. This money helps buy and repair band instruments, and other school supplies. Some of their contributions to our school are the stage scenery, curtains, and to the delight of most students, the water coolers. 9 PT PRESIDENT ------------ Mrs. M.C.

Y w 1 r w gg l 45 ' W'F ' 604076 CORRIGAN HIGH ' VS ' CHESTER The game was hard fought all the way through, but the straw that broke the camel's back was an intercepted jump pass. A Chester linebacker ran '7 yards for a TD. 7 to 0 CORRIGAN ' VS ' COLMESNIEL The Bulldogs pounded out a 7 to 0 victory over Colmesniel. Jimmy Brock, James Mullican, and Arthur Ray Lowe hit the lines hard to bringius a victory. CORRIGAN ' VS ' GROVETON Groveton got the jump on the Bulldogs in the first half. The score was 18 to 0 at the end of the first half and the Bulldogs never could get by them but they held Groveton to 6 points in the last half. The out- standing play by Red Henderson, Ashley Bacon, Pat Knox, and Harold Byron held them down. 24 to 0 CORRIGAN ' VS ' TRINITY At half time Trinity led 6 to 0. The bulldogs came to score three TD's in the last half with Buddy Chisolm scoring two TD's, James Mullican getting one. 19 to 6 CORRIGAN ' VS ' HEMPHILL The Bulldogs seemed vicious that night but were never able to punch the ball over. In the last half our defense fought well but we couldn't hold them. 7 to 0 CORRIGAN ' VS ' GA RRISON I This game was a hard fought game throughout. The score at half time was 6 to 0 in favor of Garrison. The fine perfomiance of the backfield in general-Tommy Nelson, Jimmy Brock, James Mullican, and Buddy Chisolm, in the last half, gave us a victory. 13 to 6 CORRIGAN ' VS ' CUSHING After a Friday flood the game was played in the mud on Saturday night. A pass from Buddy to Shorty on the-option play scored our first tally. Then Shorty passed to Buddy on the same play for another score. A fine ball game and everyone got to play. 14 to 0 CORRIGAN ' VS ' DIBOLL This was supposed to have been the big one. We were lighter than the lumberjacks by a margin. Buddy scampered 40 yards for the first TD. Fine blocking by captains Larry Buckley and Ashley Bacon, Lloyd Herring, Bobby Smilly, Clyde Lafferty, and Red Henderson took us to the 3 yd. line and it was easy for Shorty Cockrell to punch it over. 13 to 6 CORRIGAN ' VS ' TIMPSON A great display of defensive play by our bulldogs is good description of the game. Midway in the 4th quarter Buddy took a quick pitchout from Tommy Nelson and picked up blocks from Larry and Red and ran for our '7 to 0 victory. 7 to 0 CORRIGAN ' VS ' GROVETON IN BI-DISTRICT The Indians proved again that they were tough. The Indians led 14 to 0 at the halftime. The Indians came back in the third quarter and scored again. The Bulldogs with the never-give-up-spirit they had shown throughout the season. And in the last minute of the ball game the Bulldogs-Shorty Cockrell-com- pleted a pass for the only TD. 20 to 6 4 . 46 .. ...ln Left to right: Mr. Evans, Luther Cockrell, Ronnie Marsh, T.J.

She has borne the burden of our inner- class disagreements with great spirit. Always the willing worker, she has never let us down in any of our projects, money-making parties, and all our other little schemes. Our wholehearted thanks to Mrs. Cobb. The year of 1957 marks two anniversariesg our class' twelfth year in school and Mrs. Bolton 's twelfth year as a teacher. We 'broke each other in twelve years ago, when she was Miss Parrish and we were a dirty-faced bunch of brats. We seniors have come a long way since the firstigrade but we would like to express our appreciation to her for starting us on the road to the future. A1l right, boys and girls, let 's get on the ball , is the typical expression we seniors hear from Mr. Eidson. He has been our sponsor for three years and has had a lot of what he calls nonsense to put up with. As a sponsor, he is to be congratulated for a job well done. 93 . A ' A ikxs, '1 V .I fi rl ,t.

If, with each new day and year, you strengthen your faith in God, yourself, and the free men of the world, then this will be a better and happier world because you have helped to make it so. Sincerely, WMM Yfzlfv Mrs. Carter Watts 106 - Y we '-,en-gvuv.T '1- aw! The various subjects in the sixth grade provide an element of pleasure to the children's school days, even though they do a lot of .work. Much of their reading time is spent leaming word meanings and analysis. Their library period provides reading for pleasure. The center of interest in arithmetic is around fractions, both common and decimal. In English the construction of sentences and the uses of the parts of speech, capitalization, punctuation, and letter writing are mastered. The SocialStudies class spends its time learning about the ways people live in other parts of the world. Some have pen pals in foreign lands. Music, spelling, and science are the other things studied. The annual Christmas pro- gram, the graduating exercises, and room mother parties are the highlights of the year. TEA CHER Mrs. S. C.

The class en- joyed making things that could be used in each assignment. Fraction wheels and games that could be used in arithmeticg using magnets and making water wheels were some of the experiments done in science. Making maps and placing cities of places studied were done to make our social studies more interesting. The Christmas party given by our room mothers helped to make the semester even more enjoyable. TEACHER Mrs. Fred B. Manry B. B. A. Sam Houston State Teachers' College 108 ll The fourth and fifth grades have done many interesting things this year. They have especially en- joyed their units in reading. In English they have written many interesting reports. First they made an outline which they followed. Most of their information was found in the reference books in the library. Spelling takes an important and worthwhile part of each school day. Every week each grade has forty- eight new words. Social studies is closely related to all other subjects. The fourth and fifth graders have seen many films conceming pioneer life and films about the growth of our nation. We have en- joyed every class of the year and we are looking forward to many more happy school days together. TEACHER Mrs. J.C. Eidson B. S. , Sam Houston State Teachers' College 109 . PPI? 'TT -Q W. H iilsk ' i 'Y The fourth grade found many new and interesting things to study about this year. One of the most interesting things was learning how people in other parts of the world live, and how different their ways are to ours. The pupils decided they liked our own country and our way of life best. They were very inter- ested in the study of astronomy. A few pupils found some of the star constellations. They discovered many things about the Earth, and learned that it was also a planet. There were many other interesting things in the year's program of instructional needs, and school activities that were a challenge to bring out the very best in each boy and girl, and supply their individual needs. TEACHER Mrs. B.T. Hill B.S. , Stephen F. Austin State College M. A. Sam Houston State Teachers' College 110 ' male The third grade pupils have done many interesting things during the first semester. They have spent much time on the Three R's , as well as on social studies, science, spelling, art and music. The class has completed the first basal reader and each group has completed three supplementary readers. The children look forward to their trips to the library to select books and see films. Our group must enjoy schoolg it has won the attendance banner three times this semester. We are a happy group, learning to- gether. Each child 's birthday is remembered. Our science and arithmetic is enriched by creating aids and collecting specimen. Our room shows the children's handiwork in all areas, evidence of intelligent and happy cooperation. TEA CHER Mrs. Esther Williams B.S. , Stephen F. Austin State College M. Ed. University of Houston 111 ' 12044 In the second and third grades, we realize that all of our school subjects are important. We try to create a feeling of enjoyment and relaxation through our work and at the same time, stimulate the at- titude that the study of each subject requires thinking. TEACHER Mrs. Harry Safford B.S., M. Ed., Sam Houston State Teachers College 112 N izdf Work in the first and second grades has much to do with our growing into wholesome personalities. During a day 's work, we try to do the things that develop good skills, habits, and attitudes which are of vital importance in helping children to become good citizens of ethical character. We think that every activity is valuable if it serves the basic needs of our pupils. TEACHER Mrs. W.H. Bolton B.S., M. Ed. Sam Houston State .N Teachers' College 113 ' f When the first graders came to school the first day, everything was new. Some had seen neither their teacher nor their classmates. Some had never been away from their mothers for long periodsg then, all at once, they were in new surroundings, with strange people and with a very different type of life from the one they had lived for the past six years. At school, they were expected to sit still for certain lengths of time, listen attentively part of the time while someone else talked, carry out directions, and do many things they had never done before. However, they have made the adjustment bravely and courageously. They have worked hard at the task of learning their phonics lessons, leaming to read, write, spell simple words, and doing simple number problems. When their mothers came to observe them at work, all were eager to show them how much they had learned and how much they had grown up. TEACHER Mrs. Myrtis Sirman B.
