We are proud to recognize and honor the successful football team which represented our school last fall. From the squad which drilled under the early autumn sun, an optimist could have predicted only a mediocre season. Following a slow beginning, our boys rapidly progressed as each week slipped by. The peak was reached by winning the annual Doylestown Turkey Day tilt. Our excellent coaching staff, consisting of I. Newton Cowan and James B. Crawford, surprised the school, the league, and themselves by producing a scrappy eleven which mounted to the runner-up position in the Bux-Mont Conference. Since Captain Poe Niess wills the backbone of this year's squad to Captain-elect Bob Graham, a great deal is expected during the coming campaign. In the future perhaps we can reminisce with Coach Cowan who remembers his '36 team as his "youngest, lightest, and best."
