Dedication ith admiration for his many superlative qualities, and with appreciation for his outstanding contributions to the success of The English High School athletic squads during the past thirteen years, the Class of 1945 dedicates its Yearbook to Mr. William H. Ohrenberger, recently promoted to the position of assistant direc- tor of physical education in the Boston Public Schools. Graduated from The English High School in 1923, our former mentor ma- triculated at Boston College, where he distinguished himself in his studies as well as on the athletic field. It was but natural that after being awarded his degree in 1927, Mr. Ohrenberger should choose teaching and coaching as his vocation. At St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Jamaica Plain, and at Georgetown Preparatory School, Washington, D. C, he taught mathematics and directed the athletic prograyn. Having secured a master ' s degree and having qualified for appointment as a teacher in the Boston Public Schools, he became a member of our own faculty in 1930. When Mr. D. Leo Daley, now head master of Boston Technical High School, relinquished his duties as coach of the Blue and Blue in 1932, he was succeeded by Mr. Ohren- berger. During the years that have followed, our football, baseball, track, and hockey squads have maintained arid even enhanced the famous traditions ofE. H. S. athletics. Coach Ohrenberger ' s teams have won many City championships arid several State titles, as well. But, apart from his outstanding record as a coach, Bill Ohrenberger has been an incalculable influence for good in our school. His class room work has always been superior. His cheerful and capable handling of couritless extracurricular assigriments has dotie much to facilitate the administration of the largest school in Boston. Above all, the wholesome example of his splendid character has been an inspiration to every English High School boy. We congratidate him upon his well-merited promotion. We wish him happiness and success in his new position. We assure him that to the Class of 1945 and to every other member of The English High School, the name of William H. Ohrenberger will always symbolize the finest attributes of a coach, a teacher, a gentleman.
