Each clay a new beginning You walk into the classroom and there's the teacher, standing very tall with a smirkish smile and big rolling eyes. No, he's not going to sit down. What? He's serenading the class! Coach Rodgers said that he sings because he feels that it brings happiness to the heart. hen, in his deep soft voice Coach Kenny Roders explains that he graduated from Sam Houston State University on a football scholarship. He is a new- comer to MacArthur, although this is his second year of teaching and first year of coaching. Coach Rodgers believes that You have to know what you are doing and how. You cannot live in the past but must live in the present. Some coaches just Lcoach because they have top it's their job. y Coach Rodgers coaches football because he loves lit and the team. He loves each and every member knows they love him. He doesn't put them down not doing their best but congratulates them for good they did. Ccon't. on pg.166J ' i J. Smile.

Coach Rodgers is very happy that CSU has grown considera- bly since last year. This year's total enrollment is 85. Room 615 was packed to capacity every morning at 7:30 and due to the increased number of members the CSU club was moved to the auditorium. The members aren't concerned about the crowd, but are more interested in the sincerity of the club, said Coach Rodgers. ln between classes he stops to tell a joke or two. The students are a little slow getting the punch line, so he rolls his big eyes and smiles gleefully revealing a full set of ivory teeth. Coach Rodgers' outside activity also reveals his good side and his happiness. He leads and sings with his eight member band, Kenny Roders and Company. The band isn't rock or country. lt's more like a combination, a Gospel band. Some ofthe members write and sing their Own songs. When the day is nearly done, and it's time to go out to coach his team, he puts on his uni' form and runs off to share his knowledge with MacArthur's Freshman teams, A and B. His echoing words of knowledge ring You must treat each new day as a new beginning and continue with positive thinking all day. 162 faculty T Did you hear the one Coach Walt R Kaser can't resist telling another of his one liner jokes during the middle of roll call: always to the students' delight.
