Co ach Kropp 
We, the senior s, wish to pay tribute 
to Coach Kropp, who through his untiring 
efforts has brought about a revival of 
sports at Newcastle. Coach Kropp has 
won the respect of every student in 
school, not only the boys participating in 
athletics, but the rest of the student body 
as we are 11. We think he has done a wonder 
ful job in coaching this first year at New castle and hope he will be at the head of 
our teams for many years to come.
