Prove that I'm wrong!  I'f I am 100% that should be easy.  I'll wait.  If I am wrong, I will be a man and apologize.  Waiting patiently.  

Again, we already have an article that states it was called that, so it's not like I just made it up. If you choose not to believe that, well, I can't change your mind.

Like I said, when/if I get a copy of the book, I'll be sure to post it.

Great can't wait to see it.   

I'm done with this topic.

The Boyle County yearbook appears to be called "Le Sabre" and has, in years past, included depictions of Confederate soldiers on the cover, as shown here on the 1981 and 1984 editions of the yearbook.

Boyle County's school paper was at least at one time called "The Confederate" as shown here on the cover page of the June 5, 1986 edition.

You said never though, right?

Like you said, if it is proven it was never called The Confederate, I will apologize and stand corrected.

And even if the yearbook wasn’t, there is still that little issue of the newspaper being called the “Confederate”. And the “Le Sabre” still used confederate imagery, at least on one of the covers shown.

We agree, but if the yearbook wasn't named that, I will stand corrected on that point. 

Still doesn't change the fact that BC clearly had ties to the confederacy, and denying such is dishonest.

Correct.

It look like the Boyle County yearbook has always been called "Le Sabre". Here is an April 19, 1964 article from the Kentucky Advocate citing the arrival of the yearbook. That would have been the school's first year, 1963/64.

Correct!  And I too also said I would apologize if I was wrong and it was called The Confederate.

I believe you. 

If my "sources" can't produce the book, you'll have my apologies.

I never denied anything.

That wasn't directed at you.
