The October issue of the school paper for the 1953-54 school year sported a new name, and then 1959 saw the r additional publication of a school annual. Knoxville Catholic High School's pride and joy, The Gold and Blue, brought its outstanding history to a close October 18, 1953 with the printing of the first paper of the 1953-54 school year, The new staff by a unanimous vote and with all necessary approval decided to change the name of the school paper to Green and Gold. Due to a change of school color, the change in the name of the paper was almost essential, Although the name was changed, the qualities admired and awarded in the Gold and Blue were Ucarried on in the Green and Gold. For the school year 1958-59, KCHS published its first yearbook, The Shamrock. This yearbook began a tradition of many award-winning yearbooks to follow.
