REV. EDWARD WECKERT, 0. S- 13- COACH 3 , I I I I iv gl II gi I gi 22 i '32 I Q I 4 I: i. I 41 1 1 1 I HE work of Father Edward Weckert has earned him the undying gratitude of St. Martin's College for building up the wonderful reputations for athletics which ' St. Martin,s now enjoys. This year comp-letes his twentieth year of rounding out competing teams in footb-all, basketball and baseball. His athletic teams are noted throughout the state for their ability. This has been due to the fact that Father Edward fully understands athletics and has that particular faculty of knowing how to impart this knowledge to others. Many famous athletes along the Coast can thank Father Ed-- ward for teaching them the fundamentals of the game while they attended St. Martin's. His work in athletics has been characterized by a tireless energy in producing teams which can compete with larger schools. He has taught his teams to p-lay a smart game and his years of experience have taught him many things about the game which cannot ' be acquired except by the systemiof trial and . 2 error, which he has followed. One of the surest indications of a coach's efficiency is the number of victories to his credit, and it is with pride that we can look upon the athletic record of St. Martin's. In addition to this he has built into his teams that sports- manship which will get them far in the struggle of life, and which has caused them to remember Father Edward with a grateful heart. ' .. 4 ., Fair play, win or loseg subordination of athletic achievement to scholastic endeavorg untiring personal sacriice for the sake of his Work-these have been the standards that have made Father Edward a favorite with us and with everyone. - ?

SCHAECKER Q ST DE T MANAGERS -f Y 1 TTENDING the fulfillment of the schedule of athletic contests are many business details and preparations which are performed by the manager squad. Their work covers the advertising of the games, the selling of tickets, the parking of cars, and the handling of crowds attending the games. The performance of these duties greatly lessens the worry and work of the coach and players. Ray Shaecker fills the pcfsition of Student Manager. He is very well adapted for the work by virtue of his ability and experience as High School Student Manager, Business Manager of the Martian and Business Manager of the Samarcol. Ray devotes his time to the correspondence, business and advertising work, while Arnold Baker and Matthias Schaff are engaged in selling tickets, handling the crowds, and distributing advertisement po-sters. The assistants have been reliable at all times and their willingness to assist in any undertaking is deserving of praise. 4 The work performed by the staff should not be underestimated. The average student imagines the manager is merely an athletic manager, and the assistants, ticket sellers. It is true these are duties of the squad, but they are only part of their work. Ray and his assistants have worked untiringly for the teams and St. Martin's College as a whole. The splendid arrangement of schedules in all the sports, the courteous treatment of vis- iting teams, the systematic handling of l Hnances, are evidence of their competency , and interest in their work. In recognition of their efforts the student managers are award- ed numeral jerseys. S . it f. ii 3 ' -1 ' Q - BAKER SCHAFF
