We Present this edition of the Echoes to our athletic director and coach. His record of Wins in his 12 years at Hopkins is one of the best in the state. During that period this school has won more football and basketball titles in the Lake conference than any other school. To such a record much honor is due. But more than that, Butzy has inculcated a love of playing, a desire for fairness, and ambi- tions for competent work in every athlete. And in addition- Russell S. Maetzold For His Contributions to life in this community we offer our re- spects. With the introduction of night foot- ball, the Hopkins schools encouraged more people to witness the gridiron contests. Crowds of two to three thousand fans. have not been disappointed with the efforts of Mr. Maetzold to produce consistently strong com- petitors. The 1937 eleven gained state-wide recognition With a perfect record of no losses, no ties, and no points scored against it. Long winter months are broken With many basketball games to Which thousands may also come. An enthusiastic fandom has fol- lowed Maetzold-coached cagers to the Uni- versity fieldhouse several times to see them Win from other district champions. Butzy, please accept our congrats!

As A Purpose throughout the entire book we pre- sent the school as the hub about which the community life revolves. It is a training center preparing youth for the workshop of life. It is a recre- ational center to which the commun- ity turns through much of the year. It is an intellectual center in which the highest ideals of democracy take root.
