Talking with the Top Trials and Tribulations of an Athletic Director For the past sixteen years, Mr. David W. Murphy has been working assiduously as the organizer of all athletic events and all athletic teams at Eisen- hower High School. From this great number of duties, Mr. Murphy lists the following: Directing and overseeing all the school physical 'education classes, and scheduling all the football, vollyball, basketball, wrestling, and all other games. This includes asking officials to referee, and having substi- tutes ready in case of illnesses. Bus transportation is another large part of Mr. Murphy'sjob, which can often be a headache during a sudden snowfall or cancellations for other reasons. Mr. Murphy enjoys staging contests especially between op- ponents evenly matched, since that makes a dramatic battle, Often as an underclassman himself, Mr. Murphy valued the lessons in life he learned in the area called sports. Even as a high school student in Robin- son, ll, Mr. Murphy enjoyed and learned about all sports, as he was on the football, basket- ball and track teams in high school himself. While in col- lege, hc concentrated on basket- ball and track at E.l.U. where he also majored in physical eud- cation and minored in Social Studies, Health, and Driver's Education. His master's degree is the Masters Indiana S. U. Science and Education, all of which he has needed in his years of teaching. - Bridget Dwyer and keeps the audience excited and happy, as well as giving the teams a chance to sharpen their skills. Another big part of the athle- tic director's day is spent in ad- vertising and giving correct in- formation to the film and print media, making sure that posters and calendars are placed in the strategic spots all over Decatur, and then getting tickets ready in time for all games. When re- gionals roll around and cause March Madness every year, Coach Murphy's diplomacy comes into view as he uses the wisdom of Solomon to distrib- ute tickets. He always gives preference to the present Eisen- hower students over outsiders, because he feels that School spirit is developed best by stu- dents actually participating in and watching sporting events. il JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL: Front row Floyd Stewart Tony Brown Don Bonds Sean Cook Bobby Bowser row: Rodney Moore, .lim Taylor, Mike Houran Marlan Smith Troy Leonard David McCoy Coach Sly 34 Basketball Jill, f l
