Ramsdell Martin Henrion ADMINISTRATION Eguipment, schedules, officials, salesmen, ticket sales, diplomatic adjustments, weather worries, budget Worries stream through the consciousness of the director of athletics with a soothing lull of pleasant accomplishment today and a torturous jerk of apprehension tomorrow. But the athletics of the school go on, the end of the current season necessitating the planning of the program of the following year. The Work is not easy, but at Libbey the department of athletics is run smoothly and efficiently under the skillful and capable management of the athletic director, Mr. Charles Martin. ln the various ramifications of his work, Mr. Martin is assisted by Crville l-lenrion, Who assumes the duties of financial secretary, and by l-lerb Ramsdell, who manages the equipment. COACHES Athletic teams are what their coaches make them. At Libbey the lineup of coaches is admirable. Each year Bill Orwig, with Chuck Robinson assisting as backfield coach, puts out a team that is feared by other schools in the scramble for football laurels. The reserve team is taught the fundamentals of football by Al leffery and his assistant, Mr. Wyper, who incidentally has left us for a years sojourn in a government training camp. Again in basketball, Coaches Crwig and leffery collaborate, the former polishing up the varsity, the latter training the reserves. Each year jeff sends skilled players from the championship reserve team to the varsity group that Orwig has boosted during the past year to a city championship. Bill Everhart, gentleman and snappy track coach, has raised the fame and fortune of our track and cross-country teams. Yearly, Coach Spackey enters a golf team that is a threat for the state championship and the tennis team which fights for city honors.

5- A fl v-- -1-4 DR. CHARLES H. WILLIAMS OUR GOOD FRIEND Respected and revered by students and teachers alike, Dr. Charles H. Williams, our patron, our benefactor, and our greatest booster, has given countless hours of his time and energy to the progress of Libbey High School. The brother of our principal, Dr. Williams, eagerly anticipating all of the schools major activities by his generous donation of gifts, prepared many pleasant occasions for us during the past year. Especially remembered because of the valuable and beautiful prizes that became the proud possessions of many students were the Annual Carnival and the Annual Door Prize Show. Not content with offering the trophies which are awarded each year to the most popular player in football, basketball and track, at the close of the basket- ball season Dr. Williams surprised each member of the varsity basketball with an individual trophy commemorating the year's exceptional achievement. Each year the Dr. C. H. Williams' honor trophies are awarded to the outstanding boy and girl of the senior class. ln each case the winner's name is engraved on the cup which is kept by the recipient for a year. No other person has given so much to Libbey or asked for so little as our good friend, Dr. Williams. He will always be remembered by the students he has never forgotten. I AMES W. ORWIG .O
