BROflDY Al.-N. did little note nor will they long- remember what he said here but it can NEVER forget what he did here.” Eddie, as a boy of fourteen, had dreamed of the day when his name might be placed in Memories beside other Marple-New- town great athletes. Unfortunately, in the fall of 1934 an automobile accident brought permanent tragedy to his cher- ished athletic career. Broady’s” hopes were gone but his ambition still remained; therefore, he turned his thoughts toward a new field of service. During four short years he has tirelessly served coach and athlete alike as manager and confidant. Honest, trustworthy, dependable and above all, possessing ability to take as well as give, are just a few of the qualities that will take him far in the world of today. Coaches, players, and spectators are saying, “What shall we do next year with- out him?” These few words are written as a lasting tribute to “Broady” so that he will know his hours of faithful service were not per- formed in vain. 20
