 He always spurred ui on . . . one way or another. And these were his boys. He was always proud of us . . . especially when we won for him. Ho was dovotod. When wo played, ho rover gavo up hope. He was always roady to givo us the encpurogemor.t wo needed. Whenevor Mr. Cochran spoke, wo listened. The 1968 BEAR is dedicated to Mr. Darrell 'Shorty' Cochran. Most people remember Shorty” as a former football star with the Golden Gophers of Minnesota, bu.t many Bloomington students remember him as a physical education teacher who made his classes so in- teresting that his boys could never forget him. How- ever. he will be most remembered by all for his ex- ceptional coaching and leadership. He inspired players on every team he coached to do their best. He was less interested in their won-loss record than in how they played the gome. He expected enthusiasm and fair play from his players, and he thereby gained their respect. Mr. Cochran left LHS to work for Taylor Publishing Co. Thank you. Shorty, for your instruction, your example and your dedication to all of us. II
