Catherine Wolf
During a distinguished 40-year career, 1929 to 1969, Miss Catherine Wolf was recognized as an outstanding athlete, coach and teacher. In 1934 and 1935, she was listed as one of the top 10 women tennis players in the nation. As a coach, her teams were highly successful and as both coach and teacher, she was respected by students for her understanding, competence, loyalty, and devotion.
It is, therefore, the feeling of the sponsors that no person could better exemplify the high standards of this award than Catherine Wolf. An athlete of national stature, she was also an inspiration and credit to women in athletics in this area before the historical expansion of women’s athletic programs in the Elkhart Community Schools. |
