Excerpt from 1933 YONCOPIN The twelfth volume of the year book published by
the students of Centenary College at Shreveport, Louisiana

To the Loyal Friends of Centenary

Without he support of loyal friends, Centenary, small school that she is,
could never have reached the heights of athletic glory which are hers today.
The loyalty of her friends has been tried and tested through the years that
have witnesses her rise from nobody in the world of sport to a place in the
sun in Southern football.

For many years, President Emeritus George S. Sexton and Coach Homer Norton
have dreamed of the day when Centenary would have a suitable athletic field,
where her Gents might engage the great teams of the Southland on the
gridiron.  A group of men who shared this dream with Sexton and Norton have
made possible its realization by their loyalty and untiring labor.

A dream was made real, a great hour in Centenary's history arrived when, on
the afternoon of the Louisiana State Normal-Centenary game, the college
officials and many other notables marched to the center of the stadium
gridiron, where President Angie Smith accepted the beautiful stadium from
Arch Haynes, director of the stadium committee.  As President Emeritus
George S. Sexton extended congratulations to Director Haynes on the
competition of the project which has been their common goal for many years,
the thousands in the stadium cheered their approval.

The men whose names appear on this page have had a part in building a
greater Centenary and have also helped to make possible the athletic section
of this book, as a tribute to Coached Norton and Parker and the undefeated
team of the year.  The staff of the 1933 Yoncopin extends to them its
sincere thanks for their splendid support.
