FACULTY Our faculty was one of the nicest groups of people ever. They guided us in an effort to learn, even if we have for- gotten many of the facts which they have helped us to learn. They taught us how to learn—a quality that will guide us in years to come. There are times when the fac- ulty members are not alto- gether serious as these pic- tures here represent. The fun and jokes they had are pre- sented in more or less carica- ture form. We give you the faculty—bless ’em!

Quigley has given to Little Rock High School. It was thirty-seven years ago that the young boy from Wisconsin assumed his duties as coach of a struggling program of sports activity in LRHS; today he is director of a vast system of athletics ranging from intra-murals to top-ranking championship teams. Mr. Quigley began his coaching career young, inexperienced, and nervous: but he was willing and determined to learn and to win. By establishing a record rivaled by only a few men. he has already won his cause of service, leadership, and sportsmanship. His duties were extremely heavy during his first years of coaching as he coached four varsity teams and directed the school's physical education program. He worried over the problems of finances, unbelievably-tough competition, and tried to keep Arkansas sports on a sportsmanlike basis. There were times when his only assistance came from members of the faculty. In the course of time his football teams won MS. lost 51, and tied eleven, with seven championships: sixteen years of barkctball gave him a 335-9$ record with four trophies: and his baseball teams compiled a 205-37 record. His most solid mark, however, is in track, where he won every state championship for twenty years (1926-1946), except in 1943-44, when no track meets were held. It has been said that Mr. Quigley built Tiger Stadium brick-by-brick. He took a lead in negotiating for and securing Kavanaugh Field. He adopted the stadium from the first and has been manager of it since. As work began to pile up on him. he gave up various coaching duties; in 1946 he finally gave up track duties to become full-time director of athletics—a position he holds today. Above ail of his coaching experiences stands his acquaintance with Riley Johns. Little Rock High School's Negro athletic trainer who worked under him for twenty years. It was Mr. Quigley who was responsible for Johns'being named to his position, and it was with Johns that Quigley shared the glory of victory and the bitterness of defeat. Mr. Quigley now has triple duties at LRHS. He is officially the director of athletics, business manager for the school, and manager of the stadium. Not only does he handle the business end of athletics, but he also handles all business matters for the school. Although Earl F. Quigley now does his coaching from the desk, he is still today a leading figure in Arkansas sports circles. He is respected by all who know him and by all who know his record, for his untiring efforts to further the cause of sportsmanlike and manly athletics. In his thirty-seven years of service to this institution. Earl F. Quigley has written for himself a record that is coveted by many, far and wide. But above his personal gain he has always placed a love for service, leadership, and sportsman- ship: and he will be long remembered for it. 7 -
