FOOTBALL .. .
NOT SINCE MINK coats got into the White House
has sectional interest been so high as it was this
year on the Academy gridiron. Crowned District
2B champs in thei r third year of interscholastic
competition, the VI' ildcats chalked up a sterling
7-1 record for the season. Only powerful Cotton
Plant held the 'Cats at bay for four quarters. Ten
men placed on the all-district squad. This number
represents more than any other team in the state
placed on the elite squads. Fortunate ones were
Mickey Allen, Freddy Massey, Dick May, Bill
Path, Otis Falls, John, Harold, and Roy Vanderpool,
Chuck Van Eaten, and John W eibel. Dot Goodwin
was crowned football queen in the Wildcats' first
homecoming game against Barton in the season
finale.
