Dedication To Mr. G. T. Dickinson, our sponsor, whose help and guidance has endeared him to all, whose directing of the senior play has made us all proud, and whose interest in all C. H. S. students has made him lasting friends, we, the class of 1941, dedicate this twenty-sixth volume of our year book.   Our Congressman Speaks Congress of the United States House of Representatives, Washington D.C. TO THE 1941 GRADUATES OF THE CORSICANA HIGH SCHOOL: You are graduating from High School in one of the most eventful and critical periods of the world's history. Not since the foundation of our Government has it been so seriously threatened from without, as now. The existence of Democratic Governments throughout the world has been  challenged by the Axis or Totalitarian Powers. They are enemies, not alone of democracy, but of civilization itself, and where they have triumphed, religion, liberty and freedom of thought have been destroyed. Our Government is mobilizing in the man-power of the nation and training them for our defense. Vast sums of money are being spent in the building of battleships, planes, guns and other armaments and national defense and national unity are of paramount importance in preventing war and saving America.  But of greater importance than all these is the character and stamina of  our people to meet this crisis. The youth of America are challenged as never before to give their best for their country, and I know that you, as patriotic Americans, will do your part in preserving our Government, its ideals and those things for which America has always stood and will continue to stand, by the grace of God. Luther A. Johnson The President of Our Board Speaks To the Students of C.H.S. Now that we are fast approaching the close of another school year, it again becomes my pleasure to address these few words to you.  In leaving school to assume your places in the world of today, you will be entering into a new and fascinating way of life; one not withstanding, however, that is fraught with temptation and doubt. For these, and the days to come, are trying days, in as much as our country, and all for which it stands may be in grave peril.  It is up to the youth of our nation, to see that these impending dangers, and threats, are banished from our shores. For in youth there is courage - and a zeal to overcome all obstacles - once youth is convinced of the right.  And it is through education that one is able to determine the right way of life. Ignorance has always been, and always will be, the greatest foe of democracy. So my parting words to you are "Rally to the support of your country."  Usa all the knowledge and skill at your command, to bring happiness and  well being, not only unto yourselves;  so temper your minds and thoughts, that this nation, will ever be known as the home of the brave and the land of the free. Sincerely yours, W. P. McCammon  President of the Board of Education Photo: Mrs. F. A. Pierce, Mr. J. H. Sullivan, Secretary, Mrs., H. R.  Stroube, Vice President, Mr. W. P. McCammon, President, Mr. R. L.  Wheelock, Dr. W. K. Logsdon, Dr. J. W. David, Mr. W. H. Norwood Our Superintendent Speaks To the Students of the High School, Corsicana, Texas As loyal patriotic Americans, we should always be conscious of the values afforded by our government which is a constitutional  representative democracy. We must hold fast to the precious liberties that are the very foundations of our American way of life. Our situation is the world today is unique in that there yet remains with us the privilege of attending the church of our choice, of electing our government representative in free elections, of saying and writing, of reading and hearing what we please. We may live and work where we  will; we may invest our savings as we choose. These liberties are our priceless heritage. To safeguard our independence as a nation we must have a strong and united purpose. We must mobilize our intellectual moral, and spiritual resources as well as build armaments. Let us stand together for the preservation of our beloved land now and forever. Sincerely yours, W. H. Norwood Superintendent of Schools Our Principal Speaks Our forefathers realized that a system of universal public education was necessary as one of the greatest aids to our common defense and prosperity. In the ordinance of 1787 establishing the Northwest Territory they included this significant statement - Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind schools and the means of education shall be forever encouraged. The tireless efforts of the parents and teachers who have gone before us have given the present generation one of the most important agencies for our civilization. The American school is the privilege, pride, and servant of every American boy and girl.  May each of us realize our privilege and responsibility in improving the ideals of American life through our fine system of education. Sincerely,  O. P. Douglas. In Memory of William Crowe When youth is cut short by the grim hand of Death, The loved ones and friends left behind Are likely to cry out that Fate is unjust, And the Powers on high are unkind. But when we consider the ills of this earth, Where troubles and cares fall in showers, We know that the sentence was passed from above By a judgment for better than ours. So it was with our school chum, who left a while back To face the inevitable call, But the memory remains of a brave, sincere lad, Who was loved and respected by all. -- Dolly Burge. In Memory of Rosalind Hawthorne The sun was shining brightly a short while ago, But now a cloud of grief passes by, The birds don't sing so sweetly, the spring has lost its glow, The azure flush is gone from the sky. The beauty of the sunshine is dimmed for us below, Another of our friends has left our side, But we will ne'er forget her, and our side, But we will ne'er forget her, and in our hearts we know, In a better, brighter place she will reside. -- Dolly Burge.

Football

The Tigers played a full ten game schedule in the season of 1940.  When the smoke had cleared away and the dust had been settled by the rain, the records showed five victories, two ties, and three defeats.  The losses were all close and hard fought.  Sunset, who won over us by one touchdown, went on to win their district title.  Temple, in a game which was much closer than the score indicated triumphed 14-0 and went ahead to win the tough district ten title and advanced in the state championship playoffs to the finals where they were beaten by a slightly rugged Amarillo team.  Up to the Amarillo game, Corsicana gained the most yardage against this highly defensive combination of football players.  Bryan also beat the Tigers by only six points.  The ties, both scoreless, were credited to Corsicana on penetrations.  C.H.S. had two penetrations to Hillsboro's one and four to Waxahachie's one.

The remainder of the games were won with hard fighting, plenty of determination and co-operation, and the will to win.

Throughout the season the team was backed by a loyal student body, a pep squad that was really full of pep, and a loud, ever faithful band.  The pep squad is lauded for its excellent twirling and marching formations.  it was sponsored again this year by Mrs. Elliot, Mrs. Jack McKinney, and the great C.H.S. Dad's Club.  Our pep squad was ably led by a quartet of cheer leaders who ranked first after no one else.  They were W. M. Spear, Tula Johnapelus, Joyce Parker, and Joe Daniels.  Jo is the only one returning and will carry on next year.  W. M. Tula, and Joyce will be missed greatly next fall.

The Tigers are known for clean sportsmanship and hard fighting.  If an opponent takes them for a snap they are sorry afterwards.  It is with lots of admiration and respect that we can point to the boys in the Blue and Gold and truly say to the whole world - 
THAT'S OUR TEAM."

Leon Barnes, Tackle
Leon was a big boy and used his weight to a good advantage.  We are glad that he will be back next year and predict all-district for Leon.

Bill Brannon, Guard
Bill was a little but tough boy.  He never stopped fighting; he did his part of the blocking and tackling.  We're sorry that Bill won't be back next year.

Earl Bryant, Back
Earl played a good, hard brand of ball this year in the backfield.  He will not be back next year, and we will miss him greatly.

Frank Budai, End
Frank played his position well and will be missed next year.

J. O. Carver, Tackle
J. O. tackled and blocked hard.  He never let down the pressure in a game.  We expect an all-district man in J. O. next year.

Johnny Chirafis, Guard
Johnny is a tough as they come.  He was in there fighting all the time.  Johnny made all district this year and we predict all-state for him next year.

Gene Cummins, Guard
Gene played guard and was the boy who kicked the points after touchdowns for us.  Gene will have another big season next year.

Sonny Ellett, Back
Sonny called signals and did a jam-up job at this.  He could also run with the ball.  We expect great things from him next year.

Ed Ellington, Back
Ed also called signals for the Tigers.  We expected great things from Ed next year.

Johnnie Garitty, Back
Johnnie could really carry the mail.  He never gave up and that is why he will be missed next year.

William Gathright, Back
William played tailback and made all-district 10 team.  He will make some college a good player next year.

Verne Hale, Guard
This was Verne's last year and he made the most of it.  He played the game rough and rugged.  He'll be missed next year.

Albert McMichael, Back
Albert was another little boy with lots of power.  He could also sling those passes.  He will be greatly missed next year, being a day too old to play for C.H.S. again.

Billy (BOOB) McNutt, Center
Boob played a good season at center.  He will be back next year.

Rufus Nutt, Guard
Rufus was a little boy but he had plenty of drive.  He played the game hard and liked it.  He will be greatly missed next year.

Jimmy Plyler, Tackle
Jimmy is a big tough boy who is hard to handle on the gridiron.  We are expecting an all-district tackle in Jimmy next year.

Felto Prewitt, Center
Felto made all-state this year and he deserved it.  He asked no quarter and gave none.  Here's to another all-state center next year.

Jack Roberts, Guard
J. H. is a big boy who plays the game hard and for his enjoyment.  We're expecting him to make all-district next year.

Jesse Speed, Tackle
Jesse is another all-district man.  He is a big boy and handles himself well.  He, too, is leaving and should make any college team for which he tries.

Bruce Sullivan, End
Bruce is tall and plays end well.  He often spilled the opposition for considerable looses.  He will be missed next year.

Gwynn Sutton, End
Gwynn didn't stop fighting a minute this season.  He snagged plenty of passes, both ours and the opponents'.  Good luck to Gwynn next year.

Kenwerd Sutton, End, Back
Ken played both of his positions well.  We are sorry to loose Shifty to some university next year.

Jim Taylor, Back
Jim also called signals and made a name for himself running with the ball.  He will really be missed next year.

Kenneth Terry, Back
Ken played tailback and could run with the ball.  His spirit and fight will be missed next year.

Robert Bittner, Manager

 

Basketball

The Corsicana Bengals Basketball team had a fairly successful season with 13 wins to only 9 losses.  The only teams that were able to halt these speedy cagers were Waco, Highland Park, Dallas Tech., Cleburne, and Bryan.  The other games were won by decisive margins by the Tigers, and every game had its thrills.  The jungle beasts recorded 662 points to 595 points for their opponents.

The Tigers held up the standard for which they are noted.  When they lost a game they lost it fairly.  They always played hard, clean basketball.  Here's to a team of boys who have made a fine and honorable record that represented the Blue and Gold.

The Tiger loopers lose five of the seven letter men from its squad this year.  The other two with some up-and-comming scrubs are expected to do big things next year and make all C.H.S. proud of them.

 

Earl Bryant, Guard
We are sorry to lose Earl this year.  He was a very capable guard and scored his share of the points.

Louis Kormos, Forward
Louis was one of the main reasons we won 13 games this year.  He scored plenty of points and played forward well.  We will miss Louis next year.

Albert McMichael, Forward
Albert is not so tall but makes up for it in speed and ball handling.  He also scored his share of points.  Albert will be missed in 1942.

Jimmy Plyler, Guard
Jimmy is the big boy who can really get around.  He played guard well and scored more than his share of the points.  We are glad to have him back next year and are expecting a lot from him.

W. M. Spear, Guard
This was W. M.'s last year at C.H.S.   He will be greatly missed.  W. M. was high scoring man on the Tiger team.  He also played his guard position superb.

Kenwerd Sutton, Center
Kenwerd made the all-district team for his good play in Waco at the district meet.  He is a tall boy who learned how to shoot and was very helpful to the team all year.  We are sorry to say that he won't be back next year.

Billy Whitefield, Forward
This was Billy's fist year on the team.  He really made a good impression.  Besides scoring points he played his defensive position well.  We expect a lot from Billy next year.

Tom Westbrook, Manager
