In1953, Clarksburg High School changed its
mascot from
that of the "Eagles" to that of the the "Rockets" Its school
colors were changed from purple and gold to
red and white. Billy Pete Murphy was one of
the driving forces to make this change. Classmate
Richard Schnabel drafted the first rocket sketch.
