MAY 16,1979 Bill Day Retires From Sidelines To Bleachers By Dick Rabbitt 1 After twenty-two years Coach Bill Day of the McHenry Warriors has decided to sit in the bleachers for football games. The veteran coach has Spent the past twenty-two years prancing up and down the sidelines at football games that he has coached in high school. Coach Day has submitted his resignation to school officials to be effective at the end of the current school year. The Veteran coach and a personal friend of mine has finally decided to call it quits after twelve long years at the Warrior helm. He graduated from LaGrange High school where he lettered In football and track. He played guard on the football team and was a miler on the track team, which in his senior year won the State championship. While at piGrange High School he was a member of the Suburban two mile relay champions that won the Annual Chicago Daily News Relays held at the Chicago fctadium. * Upon graduation he attended LaGrange Junior college where he lettered in football and track. From there he had a call from the U.S. Marines where he served three years, playing football and track, and the U.S. ' Marines won the Service Track Championship in which he was the winner of the mile run. Upon discharge from the Marine Corp., Bill attended Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. While at Coe Bill decided to participate in track and his coach was Marv Levy the present coach of the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. After graduating from Coe, Bill decided to attend the •University of Iowa where he obtained his Masters Degree. He entered the coaching profession at Woodland High > School in Streator, where he ! was the head football coach and J the sophomore basketball ' coach. In his five years at I Woodland his team had a string ' of 18 straight wins over three seasons. He commented, "This was my highlight at Woodland , winning 18 straight games". His team won a conference championship while at Woodland. Bill then journey to Bativa •- High School where he was head 'football coach, J.V. basketball . coach and head track coach, •v In his five years at Batavia, -be had three straight 6-2 . seasons. One of his highlights at ; batavia was holding Sycamore ^High School, under the "legendary "Pete Johnson", * scoreless in a 20 to 0 victory. In ~was the first time that "Sycamore was held scoreless in I pie Little Seven in nine years. I Among the people he coached ;at Batavia, three signed 'professional contracts. Ken 'Anderson the well known quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, the All American basketball player from the University of Kentucky presently with the Denver Nugget, Dan Issel and Byron - Von Hoff who pitched with the New York Mets. ; Day said his biggest surprise - In arriving at McHenry twelve years ago was "the small , number of boys participating in football". He also commented, "*'I thought coming from a BILL DAY smaller school, that there would be more boys out for football." Day has coached at McHenry High School for the past twelve years. Along with being head football coach, he has been an assistant track coach in charge of the weight men, and spent one year as freshmen basketball coach. As for his coaching career at McHenry the popular coach said, "We have had some tremendous ball players, but it seemed that we could not get them altogether at one time for a North Suburban Cham­ pionship." He declined to name any player lest he forget someone, and added, "I would not want to neglect any boy who played for me". Day started the Annual Soap Bowl game, an intra-squad held prior to the regular season which in the years gone by has provided "bars of soap" for the athletic team at McHenry High School. He also initated the Annual Labor Day Pancake Breakfast for the squad at his home. This was a custom at the end of practice on Labor Day morning, the entire squad would journey to the Day home for pancakes. When you think of the number of boys, after a hard practice, sitting down to a pancake breakfast ~ a lot of pancakes had to be served. The coaches wives of the varsity did the cooking, and the cheerleaders did the serving. According to Mrs. Day she mentioned, "a reasonable number would be in the neigh­ borhood of five hundred pan­ cakes served that morning". The present varsity staff initiated the annual football award in memory of Dan Voight and Jim Dimopoulos two former players under Day. In talking about the changes that have taken place during probably continue to travel, camp and play racketball, and I hope I can pursuade him to make it a foursome on the golf course. His final comment was that, "he enjoyed the relationship with all the coaches on the staff both past and present. Day will continue to teach at McHenry High School. Now on Friday nights and Saturday af­ ternoons, he can sit in the stands and enjoy a football game. No Sunday night movies to go over, no weekly plans, just relax and enjoy himself. We wish him well along with all Warrior fans wherever they may be located. Phantom Regiment Wins Winter Guard International Title # It was a memorable weekend as WGI celebrated its second Olympics Competition in Madison, Wise. April 1, 1979. The season came to a close with the Midwest bringing home the championship with an over­ whelming score of 95.1 followed by the finest Color Guards in the U.S. and Canada. Two McHenry girls, Angelique Betancourt and Kathy Salo,. formerly of the McHenry Viscounts, were among those honored with this achievement. We would like to congratulate this group and we hope to see them at our own McHenry Marine Day Festival. •••••••••••••••••••• : MARIAN : : CENTRAL : SPORTS • NOTES his tenure as coach, Day siad, "The boys today are not committed to athletics as they were years ago". He added, "the number of boys working, along with their school work, they do not have the time to put their interest in athletics." Day commented on some of his memorable moments at McHenry. The close games with the Crystal Lake Tigers. "In a period of four years the visiting team always won the homecoming game": He also added with some bitterness, "The 7 to 2 loss to Barrington, when the official made several bad calls on pass completions by the Warriors that led to their downfall." He also said, "I have enjoyed the fine relationship with my former players, I have when time permitted, attended their college games when they were performing, and was glad to see them when they came back for visits to the high school as well as my home. Day also said, "I have had the same varsity staff for the past ten years. Ken Swanson who as my line coach has been with me 17 years, five at Batavia, Ken Ludwig. and Toby Scott." With daughters Karen to be a senior at Winnoa State, Kris a junior at Illinois State University and Cathy a junior at McHenry High School, the veteran coach felt it was time to call a halt to his coaching, After twenty-two years he said, "I felt that I have paid my dues to the coaching profession"-- With his daughters in college, he thinks he and his wife would like to see them more often, along with the fact that he feels the splitting into two four-year high schools will eventually hurt the athletic program at McHenry High School. The coach and his family will It was Crown's turn to feel the lash of Marian Central's Hurricanes.

In district two, Township 44 (Nunda) there were 26 males and 14 females between the ages of 6 and 21 years. In all ages under 21 years there were 35 males and 25 females. Seems they weren't raisin' so many females at that time. The season is moving right along. "Schmaltz" and Dorothy have been out working up the soil and planting. Think we'll call these plots Riverside Gardens. A week ago, Ray Smith led a group into northern Wisconsin to cut the grass. They gave it all they had, but found it mighty difficult to cut grass through six inches of snow. Walking hatless through the advertising department, Nancy looked up from her work long enough to observe, "Glad to see you have a head under that hat." Of course, I explained to her that my reason for wearing a hat is to keep the hair out of my eyes. out for swimming, some must have worked mighty hard. Winning the first meet spon­ sored by the new Fox Valley Conference, was quite a feather in their cap. Led by Mark Betancourt, who won two first places and was one of the 200 medley relay winners for McHenry High, the McHenry boys surprised the conference. i That was a big day for Mark. He will be heard from more wherever he is entered. Liz Nolan turned in copy on the Pitch.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Dick Hester has an old ad­ vertising card in his gas station from the year 1939. At that time Dick had a sale on gasoline and prices were in the 13 to 15 cent range per gallon. Fill 'er up! You must have noticed that we are running over two pages of sports news lately. That will probably cut down when the school year ends. Our publisher. Larry Lund, is generous with space for sports and likes the idea of including all groups. That means cutting down some to make room for all. Dick Rabbitt's column has told you of the success in many branches of sports at McHenry High. Randy Swikle has done the same for the new Johnsburg school. In talking with some close followers, they claim the success of Coach Shanahan's swimming team this year was the big surprise. While not enough boys turned The weatherman predicted "Partly Cloudy" one time, then "Partly Sunny" for Mother's Day and has us puzzled. But the sun came shining through to make the day a success.
