if N X X Q - Xetgf ea .r X it Seton's 'Gman for all seasons is Henry Read, athletic director for twenty-five years of Seton- ites. He is the man, steady and sure, dedicated to his family and to his boys, fathering, guiding, correcting and encouraging the thousands who have proudly borne the '6Readmen ' title. As we Setonites of '63 look back over his career, we find visible clues to his greatness even in his high school achievements. At graduation he possessed fourteen letters for football, baseball, ice hockey and cross country. Continuing to sports-climb, he rose to an all- state rating in baseball and ice hockey, then went on for two memorable years in semi-pro ice hockey, never missing a minute of the game. Finally, the wings of fortune and the plan of Providence carried him to the new cottages of Seton Hall where he became first coach and athletic director in the school,s history. Since that time Mr. Read has coached six football and six baseball teams to Nassau-Suffolk COACH HENRY READ rls Catholic High School league championships. He helped to form the league and was its first president. His talents were recognized as he was voted coach of the year in football three times and in baseball three times. In 1952 he became the only man to be voted TABLET Coach of the Year in both football and baseball. Now in celebrating his silver anniversary, Mr. Read can look back on twenty-five years in which his coaching helped hundreds of Seton- ites to be not only better athletes but also better Catholics and men. Sports have been Mr. Readis life and if he had a dollar for every run, and point, and basket, and goal his teams have scored he would own half of Patchogue. But more important, Mr. Read owns the respect, affection and thanks of faculty and students who over the years have been fortunate enough to come within his influence. God grant him many more seasons of service to Setonites!
