In the early years of Talawanda
High School Betty Knox was the athletic booster club!
She organized it, and was the driving force behind it
in those early years. She organized an annual booster
carnival that raised thousands of dollars for athletic
equipment for the girls and as well as the boys. She
was a tireless mother and never missed a football or
basketball game.
A complete community citizen, Betty went on to earn acclaim
as a driving force who focused attention on senior
citizens. Her work in this area was widely recognized and
in 1966 she was named one of “Oxford's Citizens of the
Years”.
