R. H. “RAY”
MURRAY
From humble beginnings, he was never concerned about
his popularity. His forte ‘was organizing, listening,
and then doing it exactly his way’.
Ray devoted his entire life to bringing out the very best in his athletes,
students, and teachers, with many of them staying in touch
the rest of their life-time. Fondly called “Murf”, he changed
Superintendent 1950-1970
many lives forever.
