Class, a native of Corpus Christi, has made all the major All-American football teams for his play this season. Just some of the dream teams he was named on include the AP, UP, Look, and Colliers squads. The banquet, which is being given by the Celeste Lions Club, will be for the Dashing Devilettes (school pep squad) and the Celeste Blue Devil football players. Coach T. B. Weatherley's Blue Devils finished the past football season with a 5-4 record. Alton Timberlake is president of the Celeste Lions Club and Mack Pierson is secretary. Pep squad sponsors are Mrs. Lois Lewis and Mrs. Hubert Shields. The ladies of the Celeste Methodist Church will serve the meal. Members of the program committee for the banquet are J. R. Hunt and Newt Burnett. No tickets are being sold as the Lions Club will pay all expenses.

Milton is a high scoring halfback, and Lipsey is a mainstay in the tough Celeste forward wall. The Blue Devils hope to avenge a 7-6 loss to Leonard last season in what is expected to be a hard-fought battle.
