Managers HIS year the football squad was very fortunate in possessing a very capable group of managers. Heading them was Richard Koch, known to all for his sunny smile. His able assistants were Tom Evans, Tom Stump, and Jim Koch. These will be back next year to carry on the arduous task of looking after football suits, jerseys, shoulder pads, balls, helmets, and a hundred other essentials for a football team. Robert Kemph had charge of the cross country team's equipment. But this wasn't his only duty. Before every meet Bob had to place the markers, and after the meets he would have to gather them up. As the Winter season approached and basketball arrived, Bill Furnish, the head manager, took charge of the basketball equipment. Warren White and Richard Koch proved to be dependable assistants throughout the season. Jim Ackerman, well liked and efhcient, was in charge of the Freshman team. Always there is needed someone to manage managers. Upon Mr. Hauen- stein's competent shoulders fell this task. His excellent choice of and check on managers assured the best care of equipment. i -ROBERT BRUNK Hfty-seven

BRENTLINGER, the envy of all his players, took over the coaching of Freshman football and basketball, and the field events in track. Mr. Dotson, the smallest of the coaches, always held the highest hopes for victory. Ronnie was the track, cross country, reserve football, and Junior High basketball coach. Mr. Hauenstein completed the arrangements for the schedules in all the sports. Every Centralite will remember Stein as having a joke in readiness for all occasions. V Mr. Kline, although a newcomer to the coaching staff, soon became very well known. Kewpie replaced Mr. Vogelgesang as swimming mentor. Mr. Motter, serious but friendly, did splendid work in developing our tennis team. Under his tutelage the team enjoyed a very successful season. Mr. Scheuerman, noted for his cheery Hyah fellows, how's everything going? greeting has become one of Central's best known coaches. Cappy's interests run to coaching the varsity basketball and golf teams. Mr. Steward, wisecracking and ever optimistic, shouldered a very heavy responsibility. Besides being varsity football, reserve basketball, and baseball coach, Jack supervised intramural activities and athletic instructions. Mr. Vogelgesang, reticent and serious minded, assisted with the reserve football team. Everyone was sorry to see Jimmy leave us in mid-season. Mr. Huber and Mr. Stoner, although not coaches in reality, performed in- valuable service. Hube took charge of the oflicial scorer's book at home bas- ketball games while UM. B. kept time. . --ROBERT BRUNK Efty-six
