We Salute Our Coaches The sports program at R. H. S. is in the hands of four fine coaches. Our football mentor is Robert Heck, whose rebuilding program paid off with some hard wins and bright prospects for the future. Coach Heck also guides the golf and the freshman basketball teams. The iob of turning out a successful basketball team fell to Carl McNulty. His determination left its mark on his team, as they fought hard throughout the season. Our most successful sport in recent years is track, coached by Robert Mathias. The cindermen's fine showing can easily be traced to Mr. Mathias' coaching. Although grade school sports facilities are inadequate, Robert McGinn has done wonders in building future Zebrus, he heads all grade school sports as well as being Dean of Boys and assistant basketball coach. and Honor Our lVlVP's Coaches Heck, McGinn, Mathias, and McNulty discuss the sports program in front of the trophy case. The Most Valuable Player award, started by the Kiwanis Club in 1953, is given annually in the three major sports-football, basketball, and track. The MVP for each of these sports is chosen by his teammates on the basis of scholarship, attitude, training, and ability. Deverl Hill, senior tackle, was this year's MVP in football. Der, as he is called by the other boys, was also recognized by opposing coaches in the CIC, who placed him on their second All-Conference Team. The MVP on the Zebra hardwood team this year was our towering 6'6 center, john Thompson, the leading rebounder, second high scorer, and honorary co-captain. Rochester's cindermen were led throughout their 1955 season by junior Larry Wtnocl. MVP Wfood was voted this award for 1955 for his leadership in the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes and as anchorman in the half mile relay team. He was also the teams leading shot putter. Deverl Hill, John Thompson, and Larry XVood were the recipients of the Kiwanis' MVP awards. QPage Thirty-One?
