NORTH CLAYTON’S LEADER
Max Dowis Named
Coach of the Year
Max Dowis of North Clayton’s “high elevation” Eagles
Thursday was named Coach of the Year in the Greater
Atlanta area by the Atlanta Journal.
It is almost as surprising as if the Capital City Club
of Atlanta admitted for membership to the exclusive social
fraternity the Rev. Martin Luth
er King Jr.
No high school coach in Great
er Atlanta has done nearly as
much in the good year 1962, we’ll
agree: but for Clayton County to
receive such recognition from
metropolitan sportswriters is a
mighty amazing thing.
For Max Dowis to get such an
honor simply means that he has
done a terrific job, which he has;
one so outstanding that preju
dice nor influence could bar the
way for him to receive Greater
Atlanta prep football’s highest
accolade.
This splendid product of Coach
Wallace Butts at the University
of Georgia stepped into a fine
high school that had never won
more than three games in any
season, and this year has come
up with a fighting team of desire i

all of Clayton County and neigh

I would like to take this oppor
tunity to thank everyone re
sponsible for making my first
venture into politics a success
ful one. Without your help this
would have been impossible.
During this campaign I had the
pleasant duty to talk to many
of you about my platform. Now
that the election is over I will do
my best to fullfil! my promise
to you.
