Beaverton High School - Beaver Yearbook (Beaverton, OR)

A transplanted midwesterner who began to make annual treks to the Oregon country in the 1940's, Ed Bader became a full-time Ore- gonian in 1941 when he accepted his first teaching assignment at Beaverton High School. At that time, he was an educator of wide experience and versatility as he had taught in practically all subject areas from industrial arts to foreign languages and had served as superintendent of schools. His first assignments at Beaverton were in the capacities of mathematics instructor and as an assistant in football, basketball and track. His first love athletically is track and his background shows that he was a record class performer in high school and college where he established standards which held up until 1959. Mr. Bader took over as head track coach in 1947 and his teams have been title contend- ers every year. His 1958 team won the state championship and he coached teams to high state finishes in 1956 and 1959. Numerous record holders have been members of his teams, including one national record holder. A top flight teacher as well as a coach, this man is a dedicated educator, a true friend to students and athletes and is highly respected by his colleagues. Never one to pull punches, he expects maximum effort from all those with whom he associates, whether they be adults, students or athletes. Mr. Bader is married and he and his wife, Dorothy, have one daughter. Ed and Dot are both ardent fishermen and have dipped lines in most of the fresh water streams and lakes of the state. And so to Ed Bader, in- recognition of eighteen years of outstanding service, on the athletic field and in the classroom, we happily and proudly, dedicate the 1963 BEAVER.

Al- ways a welcome visitor, Mr. Bader's words, some- times jovial, sometimes serious, were greeted consis- tently with pleasure and respect. As fine a teacher off the track as on it, Mr. Bader is shown here easing one of his algebra students' worries by explaining a difficult story problem.
