Athletic Staff MR. SHEFFER Athletic Director i MR. KING Princeton High School had very successful athletic teams this year. Our superior coaching staff was largely responsible for athletic success. At the head of the staff is Mr. Don Sheffer. Mr. Shef- fer served as athletic director, head basketball coach, and director of physical education. He is thought of as one of the best basketball coaches in Illinois, and we are very fortunate to have him on our staff. Mr. Lyle King was head football coach and did a fine job of getting his boys in shape and getting the best out of them. Mr. King is respected for his vast knowledge about football. Mr. King was also the head of the wrestling program, a new addition to P.H.S. Mr. Jesse Durham held the position of head track and cross country coach. Mr. Durham knows and prac- tices the best methods of getting and keeping his boys in shape for top track performance. Mr. Roger Swan was invaluable to the staff as he led the sophomore football and basketball teams, serv- ed as assistant track coach, and headed the intramural program. Mr. Swan is respected for his ability to “fire the boys up” and get them to perform at the peak of their abilities. Mr. Don Eklund was a great asset to the coaching staff as he handled freshman football and basketball, coached the pole vaulters and broad jumpers on the track team, and did a tremendous job of scouting. Mr. John Krech had a very successful second year on the staff. Mr. Krech was Mr. King’s right-hand man during football season, and able assistant to Mr. Shef- fer during basketball season. MR.
