An Old Tradition Explodes Again at Quaker Football Games
A group of Salem alumni known as the
Cannoneers have brought back the
tradition of firing a cannon in celebration
of touchdowns at Salem High School
football games.
In the early 1960s, a Civil War infantry
reenactment group called the Salem
Grays fired the cannon that could be heard
throughout Salem when a touchdown
was scored in what was formerly known
as Reilly Stadium. After the Salem Grays
short stint, a group called the 19th Infantry
took over firing the cannon and kept up
the tradition for the next 24 years. In
1986, the cannon shots were silenced as
the aging men from the group could find
no one to carry on the tradition. Members of the Cannoneers: (Left to Right) Justin Moffett ’19, Drew
