ODR FOOTBALL COACHES Lew Stephens Athletic Director Putting aside the fact that Urbana is now rated the smallest school in the Big 12. our coach. Lew Steph- ens, took a group of inexperienced boys and molded them into a football team that won seven games while losing only two. This seemingly impossible task was only one of many accomplished by him since he took up the coaching reins at Urbana High School in 1925. During those nineteen years, his teams have won for him the respect and admiration of the larger schools as well as that of his close friends. After the Board of Education made the title of Athletic Director official, Lew turned over the coach- ing of basketball to his capable assistant, “Hank” Bothwell, only to find that the wrestling team needed a coach. So. for the duration. Lew will probably find himself as busy as ever. He has taken on the additional responsibilities with the same vigorous spirit that he has shown in all his work. Urbana has ample reason to be proud of Lewis Stephens and his fine record as well as the fine tradi- tions that have been built up by him and his teams. A newcomer to the coaching staff this year was Darrell Latham. Mr. Latham graduated from the University of Iowa, and spent several years coaching in various high schools in Iowa. From there he came to the University of Illinois to join the physical education staff. From this position he came to Ur- bana High School as assistant coach in football, bas- ketball. and track. Besides his coaching duties. Mr. Latham has a home room and a regular schedule of physical education classes. From the start he has shown that he has the qualities of a capable leader for our boys. During the football season, Mr. Latham coached the backfield. and in basketball he is in charge of the second team as well as the reserve team. One of his duties is to keep the coach informed as to the time left in the games and other facts that help make a successful team. After a good start, we are looking forward expect- antly to great things in the future from Mr. Latham. Darrell Latham Assistant Coach I 29 1

HOLD TRIALS IN CIVICS MR. Hornor’s Civics Trial Social Science befiGSittnent History classes at Urbana traced man’s progress from primitive life to the present day. Miss Law- son carefully presented the fascinating story of life in the ancient world. Continuing with the story of man’s development. Miss Wood conducted discussions of Modern History. Students desiring only a one- year course delved into the study of World History. In keeping with the ideals on which American gov- ernment is founded. Mrs. Chase’s American History classes were free to express their opinions on mat- ters concerning our country. Mr. Hornor’s civics classes held mock trials and classroom discussions concerning the intricacies of government. Although Economics is not required, many students found it helpful in understanding the business world. Some freshmen took advantage of the course in community problems, which helped them understand the needs and work of our community. I 28 ]
