The
Corsican |
|
To Miss Gazzie Suttle, one of our most loyal faculty members, who for the last three years has aided so willingly and splendidly in making "The Corsican" what it is today, whose tireless efforts and gracious spirit of service have helped to make our school life a veritable "fairy-tale", we dedicate "The Corsican" of 1928.

Pierce, Douglas, Evans, Willard, Hagler, Lowry, Ross, Parker
The School Board of Corsicana has given the Tigers a coaching staff that is not excelled in the state. Pierce and Hagler are two who know every angle of football, and they have the knack of teaching their protégés. Each year their machine is smoother and better. O. P. Douglas has coached in Corsicana six years, and has turned out six winning teams. His teams have won .740 per cent of the games they have played. That is tribute enough for the best basketball coach in Texas. Miss Evans built a powerful girls' basketball team, and displayed a wonderful control over the girls. Mr. Willard was able, due to his long association with tennis, to impart much valuable advice to the wielders of racquets.
To the Managers, Ross and Lowry of the football team and Parker of the basketball team - is due a definite share of the credit for the season's success.
Lumsden, Price, Megarity, Newland, Dunn, Langston, Spikes
Lumsden, captain of the football team, showed his ability to lead the Tigers as a field general should. He was a star player and helped carry the Blue and Gold to the finals of the District Four championship. This is Lumsden's last year at C.H.S. and his loss will be apparent on both the football team and the basketball team.
Price, captain of the basketball and star center on the team, is worthy of high praise. Besides playing basketball, Price plays football to perfection. His speed, his accuracy in hitting the goal, and his ability as a captain have never been excelled in the basketball teams of C.H.S.
Megarity is another student who can play more than one game. Besides playing football he is captain of the track team. His specialty here is the hurdles and high-jump.
Newland, captain of field events, has proved himself an able leader in this phase of athletics, and with the help of his efficient corps of associates represented C.H.S. creditably.
The spirit of the school was maintained at a high pitch by Nell, Ray, and Mary Frances. They were untiring in their efforts to inspire the student-body and were always ready with a yell for the Tigers when support was most needed.
CORSICANA 20 -
WORTHAM 0
Wortham came to Corsicana on September 17 to
find a den of over-confident Tigers, and to give that same den of
felines a considerable jolt by allowing them to put over only three
counters. The Tigers showed no trace of the precision and team
work that they were to exhibit later in the season and from a
spectator's view point the game was very disappointing.
CORSICANA 36 -
BRYAN HIGH 0
When the Tigers journeyed to Dallas to meet the strong Bryan Hi team,
most of the fans were not very pessimistic as to the outcome, but the
lads in the gold jerseys were not. They had no thought of defeat.
They crashed their way to a touchdown within three minutes after the
starting whistle had blown, and when the whistle to end the game sounded
they had crossed the line six times. The victory was a pleasant
surprise to all the supporters of the Blue and Gold.
CORSICANA 0 -
ALLEN ACADEMY 9
The Tigers were haded their first defeat of the season on October 14 by
the strong Allen Academy team from Bryan. This was perhaps the
hardest fought game of the season being a much closer game than the
score would indicate. The felines were the 'underdogs' in this
contest and were due to lose by a much greater score, to the husky
Academy men, than was actually the case. It was that old fight, so
characteristic of the Tigers in time of a crisis, that held scoreless
the much heavier eleven for the first two periods of play.
There was no individual play in this game but rather a consistent snap
and drive that would be a credit to any high school in the state.
To name the stars of this game would be to give the name of every man
that participated. Although the Tigers did not get the big end of
the score, their playing was consistent enough to gratify the most
exacting spectator or coach. Too much can not be said of the
Tigers' showing in this game even in defeat.
CORSICANA 8 -
TEAGUE 6
The Tigers of C.H.S. experienced considerable trouble in defeating the
strong Class B team from Teague. Teague started scoring in the
second quarter when they pushed over a touchdown, but they failed to
kick goal for the extra point. In the thrid quarter the Tigers
made a touchdown but failed to make the extra point. In the fourth
quarter a Teague back was tackled behind his own goal line for a safety
- the two-point margin of the Corsicana victory.
CORSICANA 80 -
HILLSBORO 6
Friday, October 21, 1927, the Blue and Gold warriors of C.H.S. handed
the Hillsboro Eagles a defeat that they will remember for a long while.
The Tigers started scoring early in the game, making twenty-seven points
in the first quarter. During the second period the Eagles held the
Tiger reserves scoreless, but the onslaught began again with the third
period. In the fourth period Coach Pierce again put in the
reserves, who scored a touchdown in the last minute of play.
Hillsboro's only counter came in the fourth period when an Eagle back
intercepted a pass and raced forty yards for a touchdown. The kick
for extra point was blocked by the Tiger forward wall.
McNutt was easily the outstanding player of the game. On several occasions he made long returns of punts, two of which resulted in touchdowns. But McNutt was not the only star on the field. All of the Tiger players showed up exceptionally well. This was Corsicana's first district competition and the townspeople and students were backing them to "bring home the bacon."
CORSICANA 25 -
WAXAHACHIE 7
Led by their brilliant quarterback, Jack McNutt, the blue and gold
warriors of C.H.S. completely humbled the Waxahachie Indians on Yoakum
Field, home of the Trinity Tigers. Though they played listless
football throughout the first half, allowing the Indians to score seven
points on a sixty five-yard run by Batte, and a well-placed drop-kick
for the extra point by that same star, the Tigers came back in the last
half with a fight that sent the gallant crowd of Corsicana fans into a
frenzy of excitement and quite bewildered the Waxahachie supporters, as
well as their desperately fighting team. The Tigers were as
unrelenting as their namestakes in that last half. They slashed
their way through, around, and over the now badly battered Indians and
swept on to three touchdowns in the last eight minutes of play.
The game was a good measure of the strength of the Tigers.
CORSICANA 91 -
DENTON 0
On November 11 the Tigers showed a complete reversal of form from the
preceding week by defeating the Denton Bronchos 91 to 0 which more than
atoned for the 6-to-6 tie in Denton the previous year. During the
first half the Tigers were held to a thirteen-point lead, but in the
last two periods they came back strong to win 91 to 0, scoring almost at
will. It was the superior reserve of the Blue and Gold backed by
determined fight that accounted for the overwhelming victory.
Wells, Vander Laan, Lowry, and Millerman were the outstanding stars, if any distinction might be made. Lowry in the line and Wells in the back field were the outstanding defensive men, while Vander Laan and Millerman starred on the offense. During the close of the third period, Millerman made a spectacular run of sixty-five yards for a touchdown only to be robbed of the score by an offside. Price was also a consistent ground gainer and showed exceptionally well in both passing and receiving the ball.
CORSICANA 7 -
CLEBURNE 25
A train load of rabid fans followed the Tigers to Cleburne only to
return with the hopes for a championship blasted. To say the
Tigers did not fight would be untrue, but it is generally agreed that
they had none of the precision and form that were displayed in any
previous struggle. The heavy and versatile Cleburne aggregation
swept them off their feet in the first few minutes of play, and the
Tigers played the rest of the game more as individuals than as a team.
A number of them made brilliant plays, but they failed to show the team
work that they were capable of. There was a flash of th eold form
displayed in the latter part of the third quarter, when a fifty-yard
drive led by McNutt resulted in a touchdown, but that was all, and when
the final whistle blew the Tigers found themselves in possession of the
small end oof a 25-to-7 score.
Though Corsicana fared not so well as in past tournaments, in the Interscholastic League Meet for 1928 she won several honors worthy of note. In the Essay Writing Contest, Marie Ramsey won first place, bringing to Corsicana for the first time the Corsicana Steam Laundry Cup. Martha Mitchell and Maurine Halbert won the Keren's Lions' Club Cup for girls' debating, thus making it the permanent possession of Corsicana High School. The senior spelling team, composed of Evelyn Keathley and Betty Lloyd Suttle, won second honors. Bernard Kaplan was awarded second place in boys' declamation. Other representatives of Corsicana in literary events were: Jewel Albritton in girls' declamation and L. V. Norris in extemporaneous speaking.
In tennis doubles Alvin Miller and Walter Lewis won the county championship and Walter Lewis brought to Corsicana another permanent trophy in the form of the tennis singles cup.

The basketball team of Corsicana High School had great success in 1928. The first four games of the season were won easily, but the next two were very hard-fought combats. The Tigers won from Fort Worth Central, but lost to Athens. These games were but preparations for the Interscholastic League Race; the County Championship was won with very little troubles by crushing the State Orphans' Home and defeating Providence. But the State A.A.U. Tournament had a very different outcome, as the Corsicana Tigers were eliminated by Martin Mills, a team from Van Zandt County, in the first game.
The acme of interest in the season was reached when Edwin Price and his fighting Tigers beat the Athens Hornets, 29 to 27. Captain Price and White were the stars in the contest, which was won with a long field goal scored by the former in the last half-minute of play.
Corsicana won the District Crown with victories over the championships of Hill and of Ellis Counties in a tournament at Fort Worth. The bi-district game closed the season when Temple, runners-up for the state championship, defeated the Tigers 29 to 19.
Seven players lettered for the season of 1928. They were Price, White, Wells, Jones, Elliott, McNutt, and Castles. Price led the team throughout the year in playing ability, with White and Wells running close behind him in the order named. He scored more points alone than did the entire opposition. The others were very conscientious in their work, and to their feature of the team's attitude must the credit for the success be given.

The 1928 basketball season began a new era for athletics in Corsicana High School, for with this year Corsicana for the first time developed a girls' basketball team that threatened to monopolize the center of the athletic stage. Miss Evans showed an almost uncanny skill in developing a well-coached, well-organized team, who reflected glory to Corsicana by winning the county championship on the local YMCA court. They brought further honor to Corsicana in the state meet at Dublin, where they won the opening game with Champion by a score of 41 to 24. In the next game, however, they were eliminated by the margin of one point, losing to Morgan by a score of 33 to 32.
The prospects for the next year are unusually favorable, since probably all of the members of this year's team will be back. All of Corsicana is for the Tigresses !
May, Elliott, Millerman, Lewis, Roper, Megarity, Douglas (Coach), Harwell, McCammon, Carson, Vander Lann, Murchison, Ross, Moore, Beale, Wassell, Carl, Newland, Cavendar, Reynolds, Allison, Hall, Greenlee, Palmer and Bedford.
This year's followers of the cinder path showed that raw material can be molded into a track squad. Coach Douglas worked untiringly with the recruits and as a result of his efforts and their co-operation put out a team of which C.H.S. could be proud. Though they did not gain enough points to win the county meet, individual medals were received and several trophies were won for the Blue and Gold.
In the hundred-yard dash Vander Laan carried off second honors and Megarity fourth. Second, third, and fourth in the 220-yard dash were won by Vander Laan, Newland, and McNutt respectively. Millerman won first place in the 440-yard dash and McNutt won fourth. In the half-mile race White won first place and Ross won third place. Newland won first place in the mile and May won third. Lewis won second in the low hurdles and Megarity second in the high hurdles.
In the field events Jackson placed second in the shot put and Wareing placed fourth. Jackson won third in the discus and White won fourth. Price tied with a State Home contestant for third place in the pole vault. In the javelin Jackson placed fourth. Megarity took second honors in the high jump and Carson third. In the broad jump Megarity won third place.
The boys' tennis team of this year met with it usual success. Early in the fall Mr. Willard, sponsor and coach, formed the boys interested in tennis into a club. Regular coaching with routine practice put the boys in good condition for the tournaments and matches that were held with neighboring teams during the spring. This year the team annexed the County Championship for the third consecutive time, and both the singles and doubles trophies became the permanent property of our school.
The school is largely indebted to the brilliant playing of Walter Lewis for these cups, as he has won the singles trophy twice and has aided in the winning of the doubles trophy for the same number of times. The cups were first won in 1926 by Maurice Young and Tracy Varnell. In 1927 Walter Lewis and his brother, Lendon, won both cups. This year Walter again played singles, and was paired with Alvin Miller in doubles. Heretofore our teams have generally fought their way to the State Meet, and from all indications this year's team will meet with equal success.
The Golf Club of 1928 enjoyed one of the most successful seasons since its organization. Although few matches were played, there were many very successful tournaments held among the club members.
One bright Saturday morning, March 10, the golf team journeyed to Dallas to compete against Forest High at Tennyson Park. Although they lost the match, they showed up exceptionally well considering their unfamiliarity with the course. The team was composed of Billy Coulson, Ray Smith, Hugh Drane, and Frank Caldwell.

The Corsican Staff for this year has been decreased from the twenty-seven former members to thirteen members. This decrease is considered an advantage, since each member has charge of a special section of the book, which arrangement increases his interest as well as his responsibility. The staff members are very proud of the fact that "The Corsican" has won All-American Honor Rating for the past two consecutive years and they are working with the hope that this precedent will not be broken.

The Popularity Contest in Corsicana High School was very interesting the past year. Some of the races were very close while one or two were runaways. In the latter class was the Most Representative Boy: Jack Castles needed only a few votes to be elected on the first ballot, and was elected by more than two thirds majority on the second. In striking contrast was Iza Murchison's election as Most Representative Girl. On the first ballot Martha Mitchell had almost a majority, but Iza was elected by polling fourteen votes more on the later casting.
Another close race was that for the Most Athletic Student with Edwin Price winning by a few deserved votes. Leslie Wareing, Most Mischievous: Sam Haslam, Cleverest: Elizabeth Harper, Most Industrious; Edeina Tidd, Most Vampish, and Nell Dunn, Most Graceful, were chosen on the second ballot with a safe margin of victory. Sam Jackson won in the Merriest Student contest with a majority second only to that achieved by Castles. Charles Pugh was selected as the Laziest Student, but he fits the part so well that we have no picture of him for the "Corsican."
