Lafferty '38 made a lasting impression on the field and off as a two-sports standout in football and baseball, and student body president in 1938. He was selected All-State and honorable mention All-American in football and the 1938 Quips and Cranks said he "played a brilliant quarterback to win national recognition and served as a capable Student Body President. Unbelievedly modest about it all." His football accomplishments in 1936 were remarkable. Lafferty accounted for two touchdowns in a 38-13 victory over VMI, ran 45 yards for a touchdown to help beat The Citadel, scored a TD against North Carolina and had a hand in three of the team's four scores in a 27-0 victory over Centre. He also scored two of the three touchdowns in a 19-7 victory over Wake Forest.
