Dedication HE Centralian this year we proudly dedicate to Coach Swearingen, Coach Shevalier and Coach Rushin, who are making the name of Southwestern synonymous with good sportsmanship. We so dedicate it because of the tremendous amount of work these three have done in the past to bring the schools closer together. To have a winning team has not been the peak of importance to these men, they have gained much more pleasure in seeing their boys work together as a team-win or lose. Coach Cloise Swearingen, as director of athletics and football coach for two years, has headed the march for a more unified sports setup. He conquered the overwhelming task of building a smooth functioning athletic system for a larger school out of two very different athletic set- ups. He also coached baseball and freshman basketball for a time. Coach Richard Shevalier takes care of the basketball program in the school. He also coaches volleyball, freshman baseball, and last year took over the duties of line coach in football. He has aided in the activi- ties of the American, Legion Junior Ball Club. Coach Joe Rushin, who just this year became the head football coach, has also been in the school setup since its creation. He coaches track and junior varsity basketball. Before becoming head football coach he coached the backfield and still retains this duty. Coaches Rushin and Shevalier have instituted fine intramural sys- tems in the two schools which allow many more boys to participate in sports. This program will help to build better teams for the future. These three all have done a splendid job and all of us appreciate their coopera- tion and fine spirit. As in the days of the ancient Greeks, athletics play an important part in our lives.
