Decatur High Featured in 1951 Issue of “Southern Coach & Athlete”
Decatur Metro | August 12, 2010Mr. Chris Billingsley writes in…
Retired DHS coach Eddie Fowlkes stopped by my room this afternoon. He found a 1951 copy of the Southern Coach and Athlete magazine that featured Decatur High School. The article described our sports history, like the 1947 state track championship and that the 1950 football team had seven players that made the National Honor Society, as well as information on extracurriculars such as the May Day program at Girls High.
Thanks to Chris’ close-up photos, you can read the full text of the feature article after the jump. Lots of great pics too. Make sure to check out the pic of the Girls High School building.
