Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1957 volume:

'Pre4e tti ty t£e Ye Loyal Sons Ye Loyal Sons of Old East High, You pledge your all to do or die. You fight in honor of your dear old school. You play the game by every rule, You Eagles, with your wings outspread, You’ll fly to victory for the Grey and Red. Never let your spirit die, Always fight for Old East High And we’ll be proud of you. ill! Our Lobby ... The place we meet in the mornings until “Coach” runs us to our homerooms. Our Gym ... The place we play, but dearer than that the place where our team is created and led on to victory. Our Lunchroom ... The place where we get our nourishment but better still, the place where we have our daily “jam” sessions. Our Library ... The place where we go to prepare ourselves for our book reports, term papers, essays and to find out what happened in the funny papers. r Our Football Stadium . .. The place we have cheered, the place we have cried, but always the place where the great Eagle team has tried. Our Auditorium ... The place where we as a huge family have met to discuss our mistakes of the past, to learn to correct ourselves for the present and prepare ourselves for the future. Purpose • • • The 1957 Grey Eagle, a picture story of our high school lives. It contains drama, activities, music, sports, clubs, snapshots and superlatives, mixed with happiness, disappointments, dreams, and achievements. In short, it is our book full of memories. — Dedication Mr. Malone We, the Senior Class of 1957 dedicate this annual to Mr. E. H. Malone. Mr. Malone is on the job night and day, whenever and wherever he’s needed. We express our heartfelt appreciation to him as an outstanding member of the Staff at East High. Miss Katherine Atkinson We the Senior Class of 1957, dedicate this annual to Miss Katherine Atkinson, a teacher who is beloved by the faculty and the students of East High. Her great teaching ability has encouraged the students of East High to become better citizens. We find that her teaching habits are conscientious, thorough and interesting to all of her students. The BOSS Mr. Oliver He is the guiding hand, the kindly sympathizer. For his unfailing devotion to young people, his interest, consideration, and understanding, we are grateful and appreciative.

He depends on the wrorld. A waking babv loudly proclaims through tears his want of nourishment. He depends on the world. On a sunny mid-morning the young child skins his knee on a stone and runs to Mother’s waiting arms. The beaming child hops and skips from grammar school, happy in the knowledge that his teachers recognize his improvements. A group of giggling girls, a boisterous band of boys, all are junior high students using their numbers for assurance. There’s a senior, bustling about, his talents scattered too generously in half-a-dozen channels. And now’ a graduate—young adult with a dream—gazing into the hazy distance, seeking-----------------. Everyone depends on something, seeks something. The baby wants life through nourishment, The pre-school toddler looks to Mom as a source of love and comfort. In grammar school, the child competes wdth others for the attention and praise of the teacher. The gang gives confidence to the junior high adolescent; And the senior, with his varied activities, looks for a purpose—an aim—in living. Finding that purpose and looking for success the graduate now faces a demanding w’orld— A wrorld that depends on him for security, prosperity, and peace.

I walked down the hall and met my old Scotch friend, Herman Slerk-enheimer. I asked what I should do. He said, “Grumble out loud.” I was inspired by this statement, so I shall start bellyaching and tell everyone of the trials and tribulations cast down upon our frail bodies here at East. Let’s see now. Where jhall we start? Oh, yes, let’s go down to the Ptomaine Tavern (or as you might call it, the lunch room.) There you will find life’s little ironies in all their glory. I wouldn’t say the potatoes are lumpy or anything like that ... but I saw Mr. Ayers trying to make a new car cleaner out of them for his beat-up Mercury! You know it’s the little things in life, such as Mrs. Pirtle trying to get us to carry up our trays, that count. You would think she would know better than to ask such refined students as “Litter the Tables” Gabby Hayes and “Make-a-Mess Suction Cup” Graves, to lower themselves that far. They'd rather make mole-hills with the salt and pepper. Here we ask for meat loaf—and we get a fried Brillo pad ... So much for the nourishment hall. Have you ever had the privilege to sit in one of Mrs. Carver's history classes and listen to the Running Bull, (I mean Battle of Bull Run?) Have you ever walked by Prof. “Beat-the Stick” Campbell’s class and heard his thirty pigmies singing the Mother Goose Suite?? Flash: Miss Kirk and Coach Vic Varallo have been accepted into the Lonely Hearts Club. Attention: Remember the blue dress Mrs. Mac wears—and Mrs. Masters’ high bloused bro-gans? They have been sold to the Museum of Natural history. I assume everyone has noticed our new librarian? She’s the one that thinks it’s wrong to smoke and play cards and shoot dice in the library. She has the silly idea that we should check out tne books. We have other ideas. That lady thinks we should be quiet and not talk about our malicious faculty. 1 think we should hire Miss Flakinblouser, she believes we should make the library a gambling hall for the benefit of the faculty. (There are rumors that James “Sticky fingers’ Greer, Harold “Faggy Morris, and “Greasy Lou” Haliburton, have started a library of their own. Thee comes a time when everything should be changed to meet our approval; here are a few suggestions: 1. All Senior meetings will meet briefly at Vester’s pool hall every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. 2. Ear plugs will be sold at a nominal fee for all assembly programs. 3. Classes will be cut to 30 minutes, with a 25 minute rest period and a five minute break ... 4. An auditorium period without holding hands with our home-room teacher be installed ... Now for a few noted expressions I bet you can’t remember! This is Hank the Blank (alias Mr. Oliver) trying to tune in on us in the mornings—“Calling all homerooms, come on and give me your attention, please.” Mrs. Mac’s favorite expression, “Yes, I'm the teacher with the most school spirit. What other teacher has red and pray hair?'' Mr. Ayers says “I stand here all day on my two tired feet and you students just keep saying “Burma-Shave ... Mr. Burton—“Rosies are red; violets are blue. Laugh at my jokes and I’ll pass you. Enough of the notable quotes. Have you ever complained about the finance system here? Well, I do—and here's why. According to my calculations, I’ve spent about $50,600,209.02 6 during my senior year, just on the following: Anglo-Saxon Better Your Sister-In-Law Relief Fund, the Cairo and Lower Slob-bovian Be a Friend to the Dinasaur Drive, along with The Society for the Betterment, Adjustment, Expansion, Delousing, Unravling, Rehabilitating, Rejuvinating, Revolutionizing, Renewing, Exalting, and just plain doing, for the common betterment of the cockroach. Flash: Larry King has been officially Linked.” United” Press ... I guess everyone knows our school secretary; her name is Miss Wright. There are rumors that she thinks everything she says is right. Have you ever seen so many different kinds of weeks as we have around here, such as, Be Kind to the Boy Next Door to You—He May have B.O. Next Week.” “Be a Brown-Nose Week” ... Be a Slave to the Teacher Week” ... “Be a Friend to your Lockermate Week—He May Be Your Cellmate Next Week.” Have you ever seen our school band in action. I’m not saying it’s different or unusual, but 1 bet it is the only band in the United States that uses Roll With Me, Henry” as the National Anthem. Have you ever been sleeping in one of the most relaxing classes, such as Mr. Burton’s, when the room was suddenly filled with a noise like that of two chickens crossing a barbed wire fence, at 3 o’clock in the morning whistling When the Moon peeps over the Hill,” with bird seed in their mouths, saying, May I have the attention of the entire school?” Have you ever participated in one of our speedy, noiseless, and safe fire drills? The bell begins ringing its dinger off as all the cells are quickly closed (that is all but 9 out of 10), and not a word is spoken, except by the 900 students in school that day. Then it’s outside for more excitement. Rooms 208 and 209 go to the left, 307 goes to the right, Mr. Ayers' class goes to Pat’s Place, and Groggy’s class goes to the pool hall. Yes, indeed, teamwork is portrayed again. Has our beautiful nurse examined you yet? You know', the one that talks and walks like a doctor and has binoculares for glasses? She looks at you and says, you’re all right, but those teeth must come out! Have you been in the Smoking lounge (better known as the rest-room) taking a smoke and matching your best friend for his lunch money w hen in wralks Mr. Oliver and interrupts your pleasure of fagging? Now a note of advice to you Suffermores. Don’t try to get dismissed to go home from school. It’s not impossible, but not very reasonable. Here’s w'hy: 1. It’s easier to stay in school! 2. It’s impossible! 3. To take sick leave you must qualify in twfo or more ways; Temperature must range around 324!6° (with a slight touch of green around eyes and mouth) however, this is optional. Hair must be falling out in wads no bigger than 4 inches in diameter or no less than 2 inches, in light bluish shades. The loss of memory must prevail, (but this doesn’t always wrork) Last, but not least, a complete stoppage of heart, and respiratory system is necessary. If this doesn’t work, DROP DEAD. Then they will send you to Jack Johnson, at his place of business, the Funeral Parlor. I could go on about the cruelties and burdens we bear and all the things that are inflicted on us at East, hut my time is limited. Now, as my train pulls out to San Quentin, I bid you adieu till wfe meet again. Your slave and your grumbler ... Wait, I would like to leave some advice. Remember, as you go out in this world take one step at a time, but make those steps Forward. Humbly submitted, Your Grumbler Leroy Johnson, 1957 Miss East High Doris Ann Boner Prophecy Bands were playing, flags were flying on this June 8, 1977, the day that an earth shaking event was about to take place. We, the well-Known United States Ambassador, Judy Mason and the Assistant Secretary of State for Outer-Space Affairs, Mary Jo Payne were seated in the reviewing stand. Along with us was the distinguished Research Committee, David Bane, Pat Buffatt, Lay-ton Guinn, Wesley Elrod and Larry Burton, who were to be the first people to actually make a trip to the moon. David Nixen, Governor of Tennessee was seated near by with his secretaries, Patricia Richardson, Shirley Ann Wilson, Joyce Hughes, and Lou Ann Hooper, whose husband is an Admiral in the Navy. The Mayor, Fred Taylor was there accompanied by his bodyguards, Lynn Drennon, Bill Felts, Wendell Gore, Richard Hoff and Ray Meanally. As we watched the parade in our honor go by, many familiar faces were seen. Edith Griffith, Barbara Taylor, Ida Pearl Hall and Barbara Hatcher were riding on one of the decorated floats. We waved to Mary Ruth Cummings, Betty Davenport, Billie Joyce Denton and their current boy friends as they were joined by Mary Ruth Davenport and her husband, Wayne Gray. The Queen, Miss Moonbeam of 1977, the former Miss East High, Doris Boner, was the highlight of the parade along with the “Starlighters” Amanda Whitman, Janice Webb, Betty Boles and Anita Farrar, who were her lovely attendants. Judy Swift, waving her baton, strutted right behind them and Billy Moore directed the ‘‘United States Spaceketeer’s Band ’. In this well-known band were such outstanding musicians as Sidney Burton, Betty Marling, Louise Martin, Joe Dunn, Jerry Graves, Sandra Gower, Don Simpson, Johnny Mack Lenigh and Billv Casto. Herschell Martin, World Television announcer was at the mike telling the viewers all over the world this earth shaking news. Crowded around him was Melvin Boyd, Mary Aldrich, Peggy Braswell, Mary Ann Moss and Nancy Alexander. Behind the cameras showing off their skills were Billy Cothern, Larry Finch, and Joe Birdwell, and directing the telecast was Lamar Erwin assisted by Venora Perkins and Lona Dailey. Carolyn Arnold, Elaine Barnes, Nancy Beasley and Bernice Fay Bevels were taking notes for a later broadcast on their stations. After the parade, the President of the United States, Hugh O. Price and the first woman Vice-President, Betty Caudill, came over to wish us a safe return. We were then assisted to our high powered automobile, driven by “Gabby Hayes” and headed toward Berry Field. On our way we stopped for Atomic fuel at H. T. Murley’s Station and chatted with our old buddy as Tommy Pruitt filled the tank and Ray Davis cleaned the windshield. H. T. just supervised all the proceedings. Our journey was slow out the Murfreesboro road as the streets were lined with well wishers from everywhere but State patrolmen Warren Boguskie, Lawrence Clvmer, James Goodwin and David Maxwell handled the crowd and pointed out some of our former East High Buddies. We didn’t get to look at the modernized Alma Mater, but talked with our friends, Senators Harold Morris, Gary Tidwell and Jimmy Sloan, who came from Washington for the dedication of the school. Mary Nell Hartman, Joan Anderson, Pat Hall, Deanna McEw'en and Reba Perry, riding in a Brand new 1977 Cadillac Station Wagon, owned and driven by Sally Snapp made quite a hit with the spectators. Farther on there seemed to be a great deal of attention being given to a group of young men who were putting on quite a show Frank McClanahan, Billy Greene, Jerry Craddock and Dwight Morrow w'ere trying to coax a bewildered cowr off the highway btit he didn’t want to go. An hour later we arrived at Berry Field to find the ground crew getting our Space Ship “The Earth Eagle” ready for take-off. Tommy Greene and Tommy Sylvis nad just finished lettering; the doors and Crew' Chief Wayne Petty was busy directing Earl Smith, Nelson Early, Wayne Oliver and Wayne Sanders as they made the final re-check of the ship. Joe Hubbell, Larry Tidwell, Andy Teal, Mike Bohan, Raymond Duke and Billy Pickle (all big names in the sports world) were “Goofing Off’ at the concession stand which was managed by Harriet Floyd. As we would be living on food pills during our entire venture, we were delighted to have our last meal here before take-off time. The waitresses were all busy serving Shirley Vincent, Ann Eaden, Sandra Anderson and Margie Buck who were entertaining Rite I-ee at a luncheon. We finally got the attention of the manager, Dan Debow and he came to clear the table and to personally see that Mary Young and her assistant, Gail Stowe directed the kitchen help to prepare an extra amount of food for his friends that alwavs enjoyed eating without counting calories. While we were eating in came Joe and Lois Little and their “little” girl and Larry and Doris King with their nve boys, named after Larry's friends, Phillip Willis, Ray Stribling, Billy O’Steen, Travis Huffines and Robert Adler. Jack Johnson and Barbara Nash were dining quietly in the comer and eating the “Business Girls Special” were Anita Childress, Patricia Gammon, Mary Sue Myers, Margie Dorris, Betty Eli, Josephine Bennett, Barbara Boone, Peggy Knight, and Barbara Earls, who worked at the Airport's office and were taking an extra long lunch hour. A smartly dressed gentleman, Leroy Johnson sat alone by the window. Suddenly in dashed Larry Cantor, Chief of Police and his assistants Jimmy Moore, Jimmy Williams and Charles Webster. Before anyone knew what was happening, they grabbed Leroy and rushed him out the door. Later we discovered that our class grumbler had turned master criminal, swindler, and forger but he talked his way out of the charges and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Steve Delaney let him go free. We were joined at the table by Bobby McElhiney, Ann Smithson and Corky Bucklev, who had experienced raising money and planning for our Senior trip at East High years before and now thev wanted to be on hand to see their latest brainstorm become a reality. As we walked through the crowds that were everywhere, Jackie Abernathy, Barbara Ban-niza, Judy Bargetze, Katherine Demoss, Nancy Beesley, Glenda Wyatt, Elizabeth Unger and Jane Savage brought their husbands over to say goodbye to us. The famous fashion designer, Billy Halliburton from Paris, (Paris, Tennessee, that is) had designed our space outfits and these were handmade for us by his assistants, Lynda Kay Dale, Fay Bruce, Shelia Jones, Sandra Sutton and Shirlee Grayson, who were in the control tower to get a better view of the take-off. Sue Wright, Martha Grace Weaver, Joe Garrison, Shirley Clark, Maureen Crowder, Joe Greer, Peggy Collier, James Greer, Barbara Jenkins, Susan Snapp and Nancye Jo Harris were crowned in front of the mike as they sang “The Star Spaneled Banner” over the P.A. system while Peggy Williams accompanied them on her portable piano. Richard Williams sang “I’ll Be Home' and dedicated it to all who were going on the trip. Afterwards Billy McKennon sang “Moving On” for the crew. The press box was crowded with Larry Alford, Luther Brown, Bonnie Campbell, Shirley Cannon, Melba Carlise, Irma Caw’thorn and Marion Claiborne, all reporters trying to make deadline. We gave our last statements to the press. Judy Barnett, Editor of the New York Times did the interview and her assistant Peggy Woods made notes for publication. Joe Burns, Tony Carey, and Jimmy Barnes, photographers from United Press and Charles Sain Billy Gray, Richard Gentry’, Samuel Greer and Bobby Patton, local photographers were busy making pictures for their papers. Gerry White and Dale Graham, the Press Agents, arranged the research committee in front of the ship for pictures. Make-up artists Edith Griffith, Pat Hampton, Patty Justice and Elsie Knight tried to make us more “eye ' appealing for the cameras. Western Union messengers Thurman Minton, Homer Irvin, Tommy Barnes, George Silver-man and Leon Stromatt came with truck loads of telegrams but we only had time to read a few. One was from David Summar and Larry Parris, who jointly own a chain of Drug Stores, one from Frank Charlton, the famous dramatic actor, one from the woman governor of Texas, Peggy Elam and her cabinet members. Dopey Cole and Faye Roberts. Also there was one from Frank Davenport of pretsel twisting fame and one from Carol McGriff, the Champion Wrestler and her current opponent, slugger Lois Schmittou. The booming voice of Wayne Gray, Flight Announcer, blared over the loud speaker announcing take-off time. We were ushered through Gate 13 while the crowds, eager to get a last look at the people who were about to make history, were held back at the gate by Don Greer, Robert Cox, and William Tidwell, the Airport Police Guards. Marilouise Sharpe and Myrna George, the wives of the pilot and co-pilot respectively, stood on the runway with tears in their eyes. The Stewardesses, Connie Nipper and Mary Snow, helped us aboard the ship and we waved goodbye to all our friends. The ground crew hacked away from the ship as their work was done. The signal came from the control tower and the pilot fired the jet engines and blasted off. The ship rose majestically into the clouds. Suddenly there was a dreadful knocking. Someone screamed “We’re crashing”. A loud voice from outside said. “It’s time you two finish that work in there.” Looking at each other sleepily, we laughed together as we realized that our twenty minute nap had carried us twenty years into the future for the prophecy of the senior class of 1957. Judy Mason Mary Jo Payne vUjv' Oon't Tir ro Class History As was,the usual September occurrence, we found ourselves once more registering for another school term, only this time in a completely different and unfamiliar school. It was the beginning of the Fall Term of 1954 and we, one of the largest Sophomore classes ever registered at East High, were feeling very insignificant and timid. Being awed by the numerous Juniors and Seniors and our vast new educational facilities, we felt lost and out of place until Mr. Oliver, the faculty, and upperclassmen came to our rescue. Receiving their help we gradually found our way through the confusion that is always present at enrollment time, and began to feel at ease here at East. Our very first year we realized the importance of the student government, the auditorium programs, and other extra-curricular activities. We were introduced to the Hi-Y, Key Club, Civitans, and other clubs of which we are equally as proud. Due to our different likes and interests, we swiftly began to accept duties in the different clubs of our choice. The wonderful experiences we had from these activities will forever be remembered. This year something new in the way of athletic events happened. Our football team became the first N.I.L. team to go by plane to another city and play a team therein. The football season, Homecoming Game, and pep meetings will always be fondly remembered by us along with other athletic affairs such as; the basketball team which was one of the better teams in the city, the baseball team which was second only to Litton in their division, and the track team that took second place in the Banner Relays and Midstate. Looking down the roster of the teams, we saw the names of some of our Sophomore classmates. With the hustle and bustle, which was created by the graduating Seniors, and the final exams finished, we looked forward to the summer vacation and to next year when we would be Juniors. In the fall of 1955 we came back to school as Juniors, looking none the worse for wear, and after greeting our friends that we hadn’t seen all summer, settled down to obtain another year’s education. This year we really got into the swing of things by participating wholeheartedly on “Sadie Hawkins Day” and the dance that followed on the same night. Our “pet” enjoyment was contributing to and delivering Christmas baskets given to needy families. The play presented by the Dramatic Guild and the Concerts given by the Band and Music Departments were enjoyed by many of us. As always the athletic program was very successful. We won games and also lost them, but through it all the cheerleaders stood faithfully and steadfastly behind the teams. There were many dances held our Junior year along with Teen-town which was permanently established at our school. But the “big one”, the one to remember, was the Junior-Senior Prom. This was our first chance to go to the Prom unless we were fortunate to have been asked the year before by an upperclassman. As the climax to our Junior year we elected our student government officers for our coming Senior year and looked forward to the time when we would be able to work with them. At last, in September of 1956, we reached for the last rung in the ladder which completed the ascent toward the finish of our high school education and the attainment of our diploma. The fall term was eventful in many ways. The Student Body Officers were inaugurated and at a Senior meeting, we elected our Senior Class Officers. We also elected our class superlatives and elected as our sponsor, Coach Martin. Our last year to participate in, or support athletics here at East High got under way with the opening of football season and the election of cheerleaders. Five of the Cheerleaders were Seniors and four were Juniors. The Homecoming festivities, late in the season, were a tremendous success. The Queen and her Court reigned with splendor and the dance after the game was a grand finale to the evening. Our school was delighted to hear that the Civinette and Civitan Clubs’ float won first prize in the Fire Prevention Parade. The first prize was one hundred dollars. As usual the N.F.L. Club won many trophies and the Dramatic Guild’s play, “The Redhouse Mystery,” was received with fervent applause from the audience. With the beginning of the spring term the Seniors began to take an even more serious attitude. We realized we must ready ourselves for the “drive down the homestretch.” “Miss East High” was elected by the Student Body and the Valedictorian and Saluta-torian were announced. Another first was given to East High this year by the Male Chorus, which was chosen to exhibit its talent at the Southern Music Educators Conference. This took place in Miami Beach, Florida on April 30. This is one of the greatest honors East has evef received. As the time for Graduation Day drew near Senior pictures were taken, and cards, invitations, caps, and gowns were ordered by all prospective graduates. The plans for our final Junior-Senior Prom got under way along with the tentative plans for a Senior trip to Florida. This almost brings to a close our Senior year and high school career. Just one step is left to be taken—it comes Graduation Day. We realize that sometime in the coming years the desire to relive our high school days will be present in everyone of us, but the many good times that we had, the various things that we did, and the various things we left undone will only be memories. Now the future lies before us. We can not live in the past, but we must face the future with an undying faith. We are going forth to make a life and not a living, for the world is ours to conquer and everything that lies in it. As the years go by, memories will be awakened and deeds will live again. We the Graduating Class of 1957, want East Nashville High School, Mr. Oliver, and the Faculty to know, that although we are leaving, a part of our heart will linger here forever.

Jo Anna Henderson Sports Speaking of Football Statistics could not tell the whole story of our football team this year. What the score-board could not show was the line spirit and cooperation of our team. Their fine sportsmanship and ability to play the game brought the team to their peak as they climaxed the season with their 33-33 tie of Cookeville, the third ranked team in the state. Playing without the services of three starting players, East did a remarkable job in tying Hillsboro Burros 20-20, who were favored by several touchdowns. Captain Ray Stribling, Alt. Captain Travis Huffines and All-AAA halfback Jimmy Brown, Bob Adler, Bill Eaton, Andy Teal, Frank Davenport, and Tommy Martin were all players of whom we could be proud. They were ably aided by Billy Pickel, John Griftin, Larry King, Jimmy Nelson, Jack Purtle, Larry Canter, Jimmy Moore, Donald Pickel. and John Rucker. We have some unsung heroes who did not letter but aided the Eagles a lot with their fine offensive and defensive play. North, Dupont, and West were also shown by the Eagles that our fine team could not be stopped. Coach Hilary Martin was appointed to the position of Head Coach. Coach Vic Varallo. Assistant Coach, and Coach Kim Smith was added to our staff. Coach Smith came to us from Ryan and ably helped our team. “Prof' Campbell also aided our coaches. Managers, Dan DeBow, Corky Buckley, Buddy Scruggs, Fermo DePasco, and Normal Follis did a swell job too! Sportsmanship was the quality which both the coaches and team strived for. It is as Grantland Rice once said, “For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name. He writes not how you won or lost but how' you played the game. ’ Congratulations, to our fine Eagle team of 1956. Football Team First Row: Manager Buddv Scrugg . Fermo De Pasco. John Hedge.

Basketball Although East didn’t take the N.I.L. or the 18th District, the Red and Grey will be remembered. Remembered as being rated as high as fifth in the State Ratings, and capable of going higher and capable of knocking the State s number one team, West High. With a 10-11 record, we would up in the same bracket with West. Not that the “bald” Eagles were afraid of West, even though we lost 55-49 and 51-21, but they were highly rated and had the best poise. West was afraid of us in the Tournaments. Coach Shapiro said that East was the second best in the city. As it was, the Eagles were beaten in the semi-finals of the 18th by West 55 to 45. Just one more victory could have put the Eagles in for one more week of basketball or—even more, who knows. The most stunning victory of the year was over Isaac Litton. The Eagles, in all their glory, exactly humiliated Litton 70 to 39. This was the worse defeat for Litton in five or six years as Andy Teal and Tommy Martin threw in 44 points between them. Soon after losing four straight, the Eagles turned mighty Cohn back 55 to 44. The final quarter told the tale as the Red and Grey were behind 30-31. Jimmy Brown and Mike Bohan threw in 15 a piece, as they went on to victory. The Eagles then lost five more before finishing up the season with four straight victories over David Lipscomb, Central, North, and Howard. The Red and Grey rolled right on to the finals of the City Tournament as they slid by Hume Fogg 46-41 and Cohn 55-54 and then going against West. It started out nip-and-tuck. and West pulled out as much as 50 to 35 with six minutes left in the game. Here came the Eagles, and West was worried, for the Red and Grey pulled up to a 56-53 score with 35 seconds left. That was the closest we got. We went into the 18th District in the same bracket with West and defeated T.P.S. 66-44 and high ranked M.B.A. 70 to 56. The Eagles didn’t play so well as they could have and were thrown from the tournament. We did bring home the Sportsmanship Trophy and were rated the second best in the tournament. Joe Hubbell was picked for the All-Tournament Team, with Andy Teal and Tommy Martin being on the second five. Basketball Team First Row: John Hedge, Mike Bohan.
