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
