Press Club members busy acJimu s HAMILTON KEEPS COWBELL; SPOILS HOMECOMING, 13-0 The Hornets, dishearteningly lacking in backfield deception and downfield blocking, allowed a lot of perfectly good midfield first downs to go to pot for the lack of a goal-line punch. On five separate occasions they worked inside the Hamilton 30 and on three of these sprees got inside the 20. but never could they navigate the necessary yardage for six points. of sports LOCAL ELEVEN MOVES THROUGH MUD TO CLIP CLIFTON, 33-0 Floundering in the mud the first period, the Golden Tide found the range in the second stanza to roll for two tallies and a 14-0 lead at halftime.

Every yearbook attempts to put into some tangible form the achievements of that year. This, your 1952 CRESCENT, endeavors to present a truly representative record of the joys and disappointments experienced during a year of Gatesville High. Many hours have been spent by the staff waiting for an inspiration from the unknown to help us in fulfilling our ideas of the theme “LEISURE TIME,” in this, your book of fondest memories. G S ioJbla o coiafeats dedication administration classes organizations athletics lime light snapshots boosters life ddioots to Looking back on our years as a part of Gatesville High School student body, we do so with a feeling of pride. It has been a privilege to be known as Hornets, and we realize that although we may go from this school as graduates, we will never cease to be a Hornet. As teenagers, we sometimes are thoughtless and careless, but we actually do look for the true values and ideas in the spirit of the Hornets of the past. It is our desire to leave even more of that same true fighting Hornet spirit for those who come after us. It is impossible to recognize all Hornets who have gone before us, but we treasure what you mean to us. So, the Staff of 1952, realizing fully what it means to be called a Hornet, reverently dedicate this 1952 edition of the Annual to all Hornets . . . PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE.

Keller was the Pirates’ savior In their hour of need—which was approximately 9 45 p. m. on 8ept 28 A fired-up gang of Oatesville Hornets had Just spun a 49-yard touchdown web that enmeshed the heavily favored La Vega eleven In a 12-12 tie and had the stands In hysterics. Pans from both sides had wended into Thomason Field’s bleachers expecting another touchdown stamDede by the Bues But no. here was upstart Pirate 10. a mlx-up in the La Vega backfleld resulted In a fumble which Oip Lovejoy captured for Oatesville on the 9. A late-arriving sub cost Oatesville a 5-yard penalty, but Robbie Taylor sprinted around right end for seven yards as the quart-' er ended. On the next play Bobby Jones jigged through left tackle and crossed the goal line standing up for a touchdown that left the score 6-all. The ensuing kick-off was a low. bounding one that Keller had to run back to pick up on the 8. He streaked back up the field behind some reverberating blocking, and the Hornet sup- patched a sub into the fray at the wrong time and another for 15 yards when Referee Earle Worley decided one of the Blue- j shirts was playing unnecessarily rough. Jonef Scores The penalties, interspersing a six-yard gam by Taylor and a 13-yard pass from Taylor to Bates, left Oatesville camped on La Vega’s 10 with a first down. Bobby Jones smacked left tackle for seven yards. Bates picked up two at left guard, and then , Gordon Jones bored through the middle for the TD. down which made the Pirates’ margin a respectable one.
