During the past six years University High has had the privilege of having Mr. Robert “Bull” Trometter as head of its coaching staff. He began his distinguished football career playing halfback for MCRD in 1936, for which he was later elected to the San Diego Hall of Fame. After serving in Midway during the war, he returned to San Diego to coach MCRD with Mr. Don Gibson. From 1946 to 1950 he chalked up a fantastic record of 75 wins and 10 losses. After a stay in Washington and serving ship duty, he returned in 1954 to coach the team at the Amphib Base at Coronado. By the time Mr. Trometter came to University he had been elected ‘Coach of the Year” twice, had won the All Navy championship for the Pacific Area for two successive years in 1949 and 1950, and had the distinction of coaching the only team to beat Army’s Fort Ord in 1954. After a weak start here in 1959, the team’s ability gradually augmented and we climbed from Southern Prep to the Avocado league. The winning combination of coach’s and team’s spirit and determination gave us CIF in 1964. Coupled with this year’s eager anticipation of another CIF trophy is the hope of admittance to the Western League. We are all sincerely grateful for Mr. Trometter’s dedication to giving University High School the team that it has. With this in mind we dedicate PRESIDIO 1966 to you, Coach Trometter. 9

University High School, today is the culmination of years of conscientious planning and effort. An imp example of these endeavors is the quarter million dollar multi-purpose auditorium-gymnasium. As the second largest installation of its type, it serves as a home basketball games; as a church for First Friday Mass, and as an auditorium for plays, rallies, and assemblies. It was fitting that, as his first official appearance as — Bishop of San Diego, Bishop Furey dedicated the new gymnasium and study hall. It was also with a note of sadness that we learned of Bishop Buddy's death the da of the dedication. It was through Bishop Buddy's efforts that both the University of San Diego and Un ersity High School were built. . The new additions to University’s campus reflect the. progressive atmosphere characteristic of the high school. Academically, well over half of the texts now used are the — most recent and up to date possible. This is especially true of English, math, and science. As for the physical aspect, University’s athletic program proves itself stronger each. year, distinguishing itself in a varied field of sports competition. In addition, numerous opportunities for pri- vate counseling and daily Mass provid:: the student with moral guidance. Indeed, University avails its students every possible resource for their progress. profile of Unis new face.
