These two pictures are the earliest pictures
we have of some of our Classmates in the 8th Grade  football team. Clicking on either picture will take you to another page containing the enlarged pictures as well as the names of the players. Thanks to Randy for sharing. |
Unless otherwise indicated, the following photos are from the Lewis Suggs Photography Archives, courtesy of Trudy Suggs.  Part of football team, according to Lee McDaniel it's fall of 1964. This has always been my VERY favorite picture. The thrill,  determination and confidence can be so clearly seen in these boys' faces. This was after NCSD defeated Kentucky School for the Deaf, 64-7, and were named conference champs. - Trudy Suggs. See update and correction about this picture here.  Part of football team, fall of 1969, according to 1968 Tri-Captain Lee McDaniel. 
Fall of 1968, the team left early in the morning,played the game in the afternoon and returned to school in time for supper! - As mentioned in the NCSD 100th Anniversary Booklet, 1994. This picture was featured in the 1969 Yearbook and was also part of an article in the student magazine, The North Carolinian. |

Wrestling 1966-1967  From left to right: Boyd Hicks ('69), Buster Bowman ('71), Fred Ballew ('69), Donnie Crump, Howard Deuel - coach, Charles Autrey ('68), Maroney Williams ('69), Lee McDaniels, Randy Caines and Tommy Nance ('69). The face looking backwards behind Randy could be Elwyn Leatherman ('69). The individual standing is Gary Chilton ('67). I received the above picture anonymously and the letter stated that the picture was courtesy of Howard Deuel. The letter also stated that the date on the back of this picture was 11-67. But, looking closely at the handwritten date, it looks like 66-67. Just so you know, the name on the return address was NOT Howard Deuel's and will remain anonymous. Thank you whoever you are for sharing this picture. 1967-1968 This is the actual photograph that was used in the 1968 Yearbook,  This was taken at the beginning of the wrestling season, fall of 1967 and is the "official" wrestling team as shown in the 1968 Yearbook on page 93. This picture was previously titled 1968-1969 and captioned as "taken at the beginning of the wrestling season, fall of 1968 and was not the "official" wrestling team as shown in the 1969 Yearbook". Thanks to Dee Clanton ('69) for the date correction. |
