THE 1971 ZEBRA Dedicated to Coach Jerome Wesson Coach Jerome Wesson was born thirty-three years ago in Nashville, Arkansas, and much of his life has been spent involved in sports. He played high school football at Nashville. After graduating from high school in 1955 he served two years in the Army, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. He was a four-year let-terman and was all-AIC three of the four years. His senior year he was president of the Arkansas Association of Health. Physical Education, and Recreation. His college years were highlighted with many honors such as being listed in Who's Who In American Colleges, receiving honorable mention in All American in football, and being Co-Captain of his college football team. He participated in many dramatic productions while on campus. After he graduated from Henderson in 1962, he went to Malvern where he coached junior high football for two years and senior high football for a year and a half. In 1965 he went to work for Reynolds Aluminum for eighteen months and was not happy; so he went back to coaching. In 1967 he moved to Pine Bluff with his wife Dovon and their daughter Shan. He became head football coach of the Zebras this year and has done a superior job of leading the Zebras. We of the 197 I Zebra Annual Staff are very proud of Coach Wesson and take much pride in dedicating the 1971 Zebra to him. 16
