Under the supervision of Mr. Milton Northrop, principal, and Mr. Rolla Chambers, athletic director, the board in past years has estabf lished a record of which it rightly can be proud. In addition to Mr. Chambers, the coaches who supervise our football, basketball, and track teams include Mr. Clair Motz, Mr. joseph Kodba, Mr. Robert Traster, Mr. Donf ald Kemp, Mr. Harry Young and Mr. Robert Edwards. Mr. Hyrle Ivy has been in charge of boys' swimming, and Mr. Noel Whittern coached the tennis team. The other intra' mural sports are also under the direction of these coaches. Three of these men, Mr. Motz, Mr. Kodba, and Mr. Traster, are new to North Side this year: and the successful seasons through which they led their first Redskin teams is a tribute to their ability as coaches. Mr. Leslie Reeves, school treasurer, has handled the financial aspects of all athletic events. The accuracy and efficiency of Mr. Reeves and his helpers have eliminated many of the problems which usually accompany such a job as this. These men deserve and should be given much credit for their untiring effort in makf ing our athletic program as outstanding and successful as it is. ' 119
