Students Honor Builder of Youth Supporting Murphy in all of its many activities requires a loyalty that few people possess. When someone has this loyalty and maintains it from year to year, it is appropriate to recognize her efforts in a material manner. Upon graduation from Georgia State Teachers College in 1953, Miss Catherine McNally came to Murphy as a phy- sical education instructor and began at once to find a place in the hearts of her students and fellow workers. To the tremendous tasks of co-sponsoring the senior class and coaching the boys’ tennis team, Miss McNally adds the re- sponsibility of chaperoning dances and bus trips, attending athletic events regularly, and working after school with girls and boys who participate in intramural sports programs. Shortly before her father’s death in 1964, the people of Chickmauga, Georgia, built a ball park naming it the Dan McNally Park because of his interest in young athletes. Following in his footsteps, Miss McNally has stimulated and encouraged many teens to lead healthier and more active lives. Her teaching assignment does not end with school, for she works summers as a playground supervisor. Young people all over Mobile have been influenced by her promotion of honesty and fair play in all that they do. To express our appreciation, we proudly dedicate to you, Miss Catherine McNally, THE 1966 MOHIAN. Miss McNally checks election returns with Sr. officers. Pat Caton gets expert instruction. Mrs. Delaney, Mr. Taylor, and Miss McNally go over the final plans for graduation. 13
