Unfortunately, many of the students who participated on the 1963 football team, or as cheerleaders and majorettes, were not included in the photographs made available to Chattooga Photo History. We regret leaving so many out of this feature.


Thanks to my brother-in-law, Robert "Lefty" Norton, for helping identify his fellow Indians.
