The duties of these parents and teachers are centered around the students. These duties are performed for the interest and welfare of the students. The P.T.A. endeavors to make our school and school life more attractive. Among the many proiects undertaken by the P.T.A. was sending a representative to Volunteer Girls' State. I9 Mr. Love Being the head of a business constitutes hard work. A shining example of hard work, patience, and friendship is our principal, Mr. R. E. C. Love. It has been said that busy people always find time for everything, while those with immense leisure find time for noth- ing. Mr. Love illustrates the former-a busy man. He must pro- mote friendly faculty-student relationship, create a highly scho- lastic curricula, coupled with the management of school business and activities.

She is guidance counselor, nursemaid, pisciculturist, general manager, lovelorn counselor, secretary, and general blotter for all ills. Mrs. Wray sets a precedent to the rule that no one is indispensible. Her friendliness, patience, understanding, as well as efficiency, make her a symbol of idolatry to students of West High School.

At their meetings one will likely find movies, slides, or an outside speaker on the agenda for entertainment.

Being the versatile, handsome man that he is, Coach Wright is al- ways willing to oblige students in any endeavor-anything from signing auto- graphs for his feminine flock of admirers to coaching his talented basketball team. Most seriously, Coach Wright assists students in obtaining scholarships, selecting colleges, being advisor to the senior class, and changing schedules. He, like our dear Mrs. Wray, seems to be chief advisor to problem-wrought students. lt is definitely evident that Mr. Wright has taken over some of the duties which often burdened Mr. Love, our principal, and Mrs. Wray, our secre- tary. 92 Student Teachers Each year, student teachers spend six weeks practice-teaching at West as part of their training.

West 0-Fulton 32 Fulton High's Falcons capitalized on early Rebel mistakes to take an early lead and finally win the game by a score of 32-O. On West's first series of plays they were unable to move the ball. The snap from center was long on fourth down and the ball rolled dead on the Rebel four. Two plays later Fulton scored. Later in the quarter Fulton scored again on a fifty-one yard run. West was able to stop the Falcons in the second quarter by playing fine defense. Bill Hecht led the West defenders. Fulton added three more touchdowns be- fore the end of the game. Don McCown was West's big offensive thrust. He carried the ball fifteen times. West 6-South 0 West, still seeking their first victory, bat- tled with South and finally slaughtered the Rockets by a score of 6-O. Rebel defensive play was the outstanding factor in this AA clash. George Conner intercepted a Rocket pass and raced to the South sixteen. Three plays later Don NlcCown skirted end for the first and last score of the ball game. The remaining three quarters were hard fought with neither squad being able to score again.

This game was strictly a de- fensive battle with neither team scoring in the first half. West dominated the first half with several offensive drives. Rule sprinted to the Rebel one and forced West to kick. Rule returned the ball to the nineteen yard line and two plays later a fif- teen-yard pass play produced the only score of the game. The point after was no good. West was never able to start another drive and the final score was Rule 6-West O. West 0-Karns I4 West met Karns on a muddy turf and was unable to stop the Beaver attack, Karns scored once in the first half and again in the second half to win the game I4-O.

Again in the fourth quarter the Beavers capitalized on a blocked punt and scored their second touchdown on a twenty-yard pass play. West's only threat came on a forty-eight yard drive to the Karns twelve yard line. How- ever, Karns recovered a West fumble and raced sixty-three yards to the West 20. West held on the three but Don McCown was tackled in the end zone for a safety. West I3-East I4 A fourth quarter rally fell short as the Rebels dropped a close one to the East High Mountaineers.

The game ended 32-6. Below: Johnny Comer, West, Ttackles a Bearden player. West 8-Jefferson City 'l2 The West High eleven opened the '59 season against the more experienced Jefferson City squad. Jefferson City opened up the game with two guick touchdowns before the Rebels could get started. As the second half started, West seemed to have gotten over first game iitters, Eddie Collins, playing alert ball, recovered a fumble on the Rebel fifteen, and behind superb block- ing raced eighty-five yards for the first West tally. West scored two more points in the fourth quarter to make the final score i2-8 Jefferson City. Below: Claxton Mayo. West 0-Bearden 'I4 In the second game, West came along and played much better ball against Bearden. The spirited Rebels fought hard with the Bearden Bulldogs through the first half, but had trouble stopping the Bulldog's charging half- back, Fred Cope, in the second half. Don McCown brought the Rebels to life in the first quarter by swinging end for a 65-yard touchdown. The play was called back, however, because of a clipping penalty. West was never able to get within scoring range. After three successive penalties, the Rebels' high spirit was broken. Even though West finally lost 14-O the young boys were begin- ning to show improvement. 104 Below: Boys await their tur Above: Don McCown carries the ball for West. West 0-You ng 45 West was highly outclassed by a power- ful Young High team. The Rebels were still having trouble molding together a strong de- fense as the Yellowiackets romped to a 45-O victory. Young having one of the fastest and most powerful backs in the state, Ronnie Brewer, was unstoppable up the middle. Young opened the game fast. Scoring two touchdowns within three minutes the Rebels were never again in the game. Four more times during the ball game the Yellowiackets were able to cross the double stripe. West 0-Central 20 In the fourth game of the year West was still looking for its first victory. Playing a fine first half, the Rebels looked as if they might pull a big upset over Central. The Bob- cats were fired up the second half and scored one touchdown in the third quarter and added two more in the fourth to win 20-O. The Rebels got what looked like a break in the second quarter, but were never able to get their offense to click. Gary Myers crashed through the Central line to block a punt on the Bobcat twenty-five. The Rebel rally was stopped cold on the twenty-five after four plays. West was pressed all during the third period and the Bobcats finally blocked Eddie Collins' punt and scored. After this the Rebels were not able to stop the strong Central back- field, f . , i fr .A tl' ff .ff C' ' fl if - - fs magma seniors of 1959-woo Rebel fam. 'Ly Y.. ' f 5' A 2 , . - c y ball team.

But the Rebels rebounded strongly and won the next fourteen games to clinch the AA cham- pionship. Captain Sam Ramer played a big part in leading the Rebels to this victory. Along with his fine leadership, Sam played an excellent brand of ball. Also to be commended for their fine play throughout the year was Dickie Gehron, who was top scorer on the team and also placed on the AA and the All-Tourney and the All-State team. Dick was the mainstay of the Rebel team, playing top ball throughout the year. Bill Thomas, also played a big part in the Rebels winnings with his powerful re- bounding and smooth play. Scott Trimble and Eddie Collins finished off the other starters. Both boys played constantly well throughout the season.

West lost their next two games to Central and Rule but rebounded to defeat Catholic for their fourth win of the season. West was outplayed by the fine Hampton team in the Kingsport invitational Tournament, In the Rebels' next game, Carter's fabulous guards, Boatman and Bates, were held down and West won by a score of 66-57. West lost their next game to Fulton, how- ever atter this game the Rebels made their drive for the AA championship by defeating the next twelve teams they came against. This streak represents a special effort, be- cause Sam Ramer, Bill Thomas, and Scott Trimble were out for several games with in- juries. West won their first game of the District Tournament by defeating Bearden, but lost their next game to Karns to close out their 1959-1960 season.
