For the first time since the opening of Norfolk Catholic eight years ago, the 1957 football team man- aged to accumulate a 7-2 record giving the school its first triumphant season. It all began on a rainy afternoon when Norfolk Catholic downed Norfolk Academy 21-6 with George Cheshire smashing into the stands on one hard drive. This game was followed by a tremendous victory over Quantico 51-0 with George Bubba Shalhoup run- ning wild with seven touchdowns, three of which were called back. The next week the team returned from Northampton with another victory, having completed a hard game on top 9-0, with Bob Johansen scoring the only touchback of the ,57 schedule. Then the long trip to Roanoke left the Crusaders with enough energy to win 47-0 with plenty to spare at the end. At last the long awaited home games+visiting Charlotte Catholic was sent back and Norfolk Catholic retained their unbeaten record with a victory of 25-0 as Ernie Dum-Dum Gargano scored twice. With this record Norfolk Catholic entered its Home- coming Game against Raleigh Cathedral. Half-time activities showed the captain, George Shalhoup, crown- ing Margaret Ann Mulqueen, Homecoming Queen, with Mary Frances Oliver, Maid of Honor. The court con- sisted of Sally Swoope, Myrt Edwards, Dorothy Murden and Mary Finney. Keeping school spirit high were the cheerleaders for a day, Susan Wliichard, Carolyn Car- lisle, Mary Ann Moore, Joyce Mann, Mary Liz Mul- queen and Judy Tytus, who substituted for the absent varsity squad. A victory of 6040 kept not only a won- derful record but wonderful spirit among all at the Victory Dance. DeMatha of VVashington was the first to upset Norfolk Catholic after a long hard fight 2070. The following week Benedictine of Richmond de- feated Norfolk Catholic 26 to 20 by a touchdown in the last few minutes of play. Climaxing the '57 football season Norfolk Catholic crushed Lancaster 52f6 in the season's final. Congratulations, Crusader eleven, for the best sea- son in the history of Norfolk Catholic High School. Norfolk Catholic stops No. 40 as he seems to say, YVhich way do I go? The field is clear as Captain George Shalhoup goes on to gain more yardage for the Crusaders.
