CALDWELL HIGH
GETS new COACH
FOR ATHLETICS
Gerald Ramsey, Athens,
Hired by Board of
Education This Week.

At long last, the Caldwell high
school will have a football and
basketball coach.
This materialized Monday when
the Board of Education announced
that Gerald Ramsey, "A, native of
Athens. had been hired in this cap
acity.
For the past four years or since
Jack Turnbaugh resigned to enter
the service, superintendent Dwain
Dyer and music instructor Marvin
F. Wood. have combined their tai
ents in the coaching of football and
basketball. During the war time
conditions, they cheerfully carried
the load and the results were amaz-
ing, attested by previous records.
The new coach comes to Caldwell
highly recommended. A native of
Athens, he graduated from Athens
high school and Ohio University,
where he excelled at regular half
back for the Bobcats. He is a base
ball player deluxe and is already
interested in starting a team in
Caldwell.
Ramsey is attending summer
school at Ohio University and will
move to Caldwell in August, having
rented the home which is being
vacated by the Ralph Brumbach
family. He is married and has one
son, Jerry Ramsey, eight months
old.
The new coach is a personal
friends of Marvin Wood, who said
today that Caldwell was getting the
cream of the crop in coaches. in
football as well as basketball.
Coach Ramsey will be in Caldwell
on Saturday afternoon, June %. at
which time he will meet all the
football players at the high school,
2 o'clock. This will be a get ac-
Guainted meeting and give the coach
an idea of his material for this fall.
Although nine seniors graduated
this spring, there are ten lettermen
returning to the squad. They include
Dave Merry, Charles Fogle, Don
Ferguson, Ben Craft, James Casio,
Milan Slovak, Roscoe Tilton, Glen
Potts, Lucien Young and Alvin
Vavrek. Another valuable player,
but one who didn't get letter last
season, is William Murrey.
Prospects for football are very
bright, combined with a new ath-
letic field, which should more than
spark the team and community, to
a winning season.
Ramsey's appointment will be
welcomed by the entire commun-
ity.
