1940 Game Film Captures Tiger Spirit
Thanks to Woodberry Forest School archivist Karen Culbertson, a film clip from a 1940-41 movie made to share with prospective students and alumni is now online. "Fight for the Orange & Black," the tune accompanying footage from the 1940 Game against Episcopal High School was written by Johnny Mercer ’27. Later known for Academy award-winning songs like "Moon River" and "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening," Johnny sent the song to Woodberry in time for the 1936 playing of The Game.
