Cooking and Coaching Develop New Skills In addition to teaching, some mem- bers of tine faculty were generous enough to share their outside interests and special skills with students after school. Whether through clubs or ath- letics, these teachers were unselfish in giving their time so that a student could develop in ways other than aca- demic. Besides the knowledge that a stu- dent was able to gather in Mr. Perdue ' s classroom, he could also benefit from his vast knowledge of ham radios. Mr. Ray McGhee, also a radio enthusiast, contributed his expe- rience in electronics to the MUSARC, in addition to teaching geometry. When Mr. Daniels was able to tear himself away from his economics classes, he was constantly seen be- hind the counter of the bookstore making sure that students had all the supplies they needed. Mr. Mutzi never ceased tc amaze his Spanish students with his avid interest in cooking and repertoire of good dishes. The coaches were the ones who devoted the most free time to the stu- dents. Our two international faculty members, Mr. Kon and Mr. Kanzaki, brought with them professional skills from their native countries. Mr. Kon coached the tennis team and helped with the soccer program. Mr. Kanzaki formed a gymnastic team. As head varsity football coach and Athletic Di- rector, Mr. Jake Rudolph led the Owls to a 6-4 season. Coach Boutwell in- structed the offensive and defensive linemen in the basics of blocking and tackling, and developed somewhat inexperienced sophomores into fine football players. Coach Cummings also coached the linemen, but special- ized in defensive tactics. Mr. Jim Wnght handled practically all junior high athletics, serving as head coach of successful football, basketball, and track teams. 122 — Faculty
