He has an enthusiasm for sports, which is shown by his coaching of the freshman and sophomore basketball squads. Also Walt helped whip our football team into action. Receiving his degrees from Iowa State College and the University of Omaha, he combines his knowledge for a very versatile class schedule by teaching such subjects as consumer's math, senicr science, and wcrld problems. Time is also spent as he helps sponsor the junior class. Bowling takes up much spare time, along with golf, which Walt enjoys very much. On a dreary day one would probably see him reading a sports magazine or a novel. To Coach Hofmeister, we owe our appreciation for the interest taken in boys' physical education through- out the grades 5th through high school. In the physical education department he has been a capable and most successful director of boys' basketball, baseball and assistant football coaching. He also teaches two classes in world history. As an advisor for the G-Club, he has done much to- ward stimulating good sportsmanship and an interest in boys' athletics. As an escape from coaching duties, Lefty loves to hunt and fish and draws fullest enjoyment from a day in the woods or on the river banks. This is Coach Hofmelster's fourth year here. He received his B.A. degree from Simpson College and re- ceived post graduate work from Drake University. A football, wrestling, and track star of the Tiger teams is Mr. Hellerick. One of the great qualities of a good athlete, says Mr. Hellerick, is having good sportsmanship. With this, you are sure to come out on top. One of the duties that comes with being a coach, is sponsoring G-Club, which Iohn does most effectively Outside of school, I-Iellerick's interests don't change For there his main pastime is also athletics. What? You haven't heard Mr. Hellerick say The main thing ls don't panic! Well if you hadn't, you have now. You see, that is John Hellerick's favorite saying when his American history, junior business, or geography classes begin to get out of hand. Whether he picked that up at Northwestern Missouri State College where he received his B.1-x. , we 'don't know. But it sure has effect, ln many ways you might say. Hofmeister is preparing to pursue his favorite off-duty activity, that of burning powder at our local wild-life.
