No other male high school in the city can show these remarkable figures. Tech High has long been prominent on the athletic field. Numerous cups and trophies attest to this fact. Back in the early days, our athletes had the same desires as those today, namely, to defeat Boys' High in every undertaking. An ancient, honorable and an everlasting rivalry exists between these two schools. Formerly the rivalry was tinged with a keenness that bordered on bitterness, but in recent years the relations between these two schools is tl1e friendliest in their history, due, in large measure, to their present management. Our first great achievement in athletics came in 1912 when W. E. M'cLarty had charge of the basketball team. When everything looked dark for Tech High, victory was snatched from Boys' High. thus starting the Purple and Gold on to a line of victories that have continued up to the present time. These figures show the results of our teams: 1912-13-State Champions in Football, Basketball, Pennant. 1913-14-Football Champions. 1914-15-Football and Basketball Champions. 1915-16-Basketball and Track Champions. 1916-17-Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track Champions. 1917-18-Football Champions. 1918-19-Basketball and Tennis Champions. 1919-20-State Champions Football, Swimming, Track, and Tennisl 1920-21-Field City Champions Football, Track, Tennis, Swimming. 1921-22-Southeastern Basketball, Tennis, Track, and Baseball Champions. We have always been noted for our splendid spirit, and we have taken defeat as gamely as victory. It is our desire that this spirit will be continued, and because for much more glory, and this responsibility, underclassmen, we transmit to you and beg of you to lend your hearty support. , n:'T F' 'C -A Q 0
