To You, Coach Greason . It is with a deep feeling of £iratitiui(. ' that «e re- call what Coach Murray Greason lias meant to os as students, and tlie service which he has rendered his alma mater. His record of twentv-onc vears of service as head basketball coach at Wake Forest College is not ex- celled b} ' any coach in North Carolina. ' I ' his h ni th of service as a basketball coacii is also ,i i-eenrd in the old Southern Conference an l ])ri ' sent Atlantic Coast Conference. IJut it was as a football coach that Murray (irea- son began his coaching career at Wake Forest in 1933. He held the jiosition of hackfield coacli from 1933 through 1949, during the years when the Deacons became a nationally known football jiower. Coach Greason started coaching Wake Forest basketball during the 1933-1934 season and has been at it ever since. He also held the post of head baseball coach from 194 0 to 1947, but now he de- votes full time to basketball. After the Deacons won the Conference tournament last year, Coach Greason grinned and told reiiorters Coach Greason it was as big a tlu ' ill as catching an eight-jiound bass. That statement gives a hint to one of his hob- hies, fishing. He fished a lot as a hoy, and still loves to go after bass. He loves huntuig, too, and has his own pack of beagle hounds. Coacli Greason is the silent tyi)e of hero. His biggest thrill, of course, came when the Wake Forest Demon Deacons won their first basketball chain])ion- ship. This victory also hroviglit liiui the Gerry (ierard Vward as the Conference ' s coach of the year. It is interesting to note that while a student at Wake Forest College, .Muira Greason was honored with twelve arsity letters. He ]ila ' ed four years of football, and was captain his last year. He also jilayed four years of liasehall and was basketljall captain his senior year. Coach Grcason ' s wife and son are also well known liy the college students, for they have also contributed that unselfish service for which Greason himself is known. We say to you. Coach Greason . . . for unlimited service . . . we dedicate this, the 19.54 Howi.ki!. Greason at home
