Since that time, Mr. Dawson's gridders have racked up a l for 16 record, while the basketball squad set up an impressive record of 20 for h3.

During these years he participated in all inter- collegiate sports receiving varsity letters four years in basketball and in football. Until the fall of 1953 he acted as physical education instruc- tor and football coach at the Illinois State Training School for Boys at St. Charles. we are losing Mr. Dawson this year, and we owe him a tribute for the splendid job he's done in handling the boys, both in sports and on the school premises. comenting on his two years at Aquin, Mr. Dawson stated, I have enjoyed working with the students here and hope that the boys at the next school are of as high calibre as the boys at Aquin.W our hats off to Coach DBWBORI gif '1 X I 1-J ra T eA'A I I l'N'kAHf ,M , 1 N'?f+i'B?
