Waycross High was also built into a track and field powerhouse under the leadership of Coach Chuck McKenny.
The yearbook was named the Turpicone (turpentine-pine cone; Ware County was the largest producer of naval stores in the world).
On the east side of our city, etched against the sky Deep among the murm'ring pine trees, stands our Waycross High.
Though we wander, Alma Mater, Far from home and thee, We will always sing thy glory, Love and victory.
Waycross upset the #1 team 3-0, and went on to defeat Ware County yet again the very next week, 28-7, in the Region Championship game.
