Boxing DEAN BAUGHMAN GEORGE MONK MR. LESTER SINGHASS Captain Manager Coach Allen Barley Allen Cornwell Dean Baughman Richard Dick Claude Bennington Jackie Dove David Brown Donald Lockhart Thomas Brown Nelson Mclntire Aubrey Clevenger Ernest Welch Charles Cochran The Stephens City High School Boxing Team was organized in the ses- sion of 1939-40 under the direction of Mr. R. A. Wall and Mr. R. E. Aylor. Although this was the school's first venture into this field of sporti, it did rather well, winning the greater number of bouts. Boxing was abandoned for several years until 1948 Mr. Chester Wedell took over the physical edu- cation program and organized a boxing team which tied with Middletown at an exhibition in which other schools in the Clarke-Frederick League were represented. The session of 1949 put an end to boxing in Stephens City High School when the State Department of Education ruled that there would be no more boxing in the high schools of Virginia.
