Very excited about release of "BLUE DEVIL VILLAGE: A Collection of Articles from Ellenville New York."

Sample:

The Blue Devil first came to Ellenville in 1938 when a young man named William

Fleckenstein won the contest to name Ellenville's sports teams. Although this cannot be• verified, it seems likely that, at the time of the contest, the story of the Blue Devilswould have been known by Mr. Fleckenstein. The first instance of Ellenville's teams being referred to as Blue Devils appeared in the first

Incarnation of the Ellenville Journal in a January edition in 1938.

The paper referred to the teams as the "Blue Devils", suggesting that it was still an unofficial name. Later on in that school year, the paper referred to the boys' basketball team, this time without quotation marks suggesting that the name was already adopted as the official news.Sadly, Mr. Fleckenstein was killed not long after he chose the mascot.
