In celebration of Maynard’s centennial birthday next July, the Maynard Lundberg Foundation has increased the scholarship amount to $4,000, paid in four equal installments, based upon minimum grade point accumulative eligibility of 3.0. We are excited to bring the Maynard Lundberg Scholarship Award to a level commensurate with Maynard’s rich tradition in this community. Through this scholarship, we hope to keep Maynard’s vibrant spirit alive for future generations.

ABOUT MAYNARD LUNDBERG

Maynard was born in July, 1904 near Hinckley, Minnesota. The Lundberg family moved to Port Orchard in 1908 and built their family home on Mitchell road. Maynard attended school through the eighth grade in Port Orchard. He attended his first two years of high school in Bremerton via the foot ferry and in the fall of 1921, Maynard entered a brand new South Kitsap Junior/Senior High as a junior. Maynard played on South Kitsap's first football, basketball, and baseball teams and graduated in 1923 in its second graduating class. In the fall of 1927 he enrolled at Washington State University and graduated five years later with a degree in education. Maynard became a teacher, head football and baseball coach at South Kitsap in 1933 and his popularity grew as a fiery and competitive coach. In 1940 he became District Athletic Director and later was named Vice Principal of Marcus Whitman Junior High until he retired in 1971. In retirement Maynard became South Kitsap’s and Port Orchard’s biggest booster. In 1995 over 1,200 Port Orchard citizens representing four generations packed the South Kitsap gymnasium for his memorial service which was a testament to the many lives he touched. “To this day, the football team still saves a seat on every away game bus ride for Maynard. That is our way of acknowledging the example he set and what he meant to this school,” stated DJ Sigurdson, head football coach, South Kitsap High School.

His love for the community was infectious!

It

seemed whenever there was a need for a little more school spirit....

Maynard was always there to lend his support!

Even into his 90’s he was a coach and mentor… …to some of the greatest coaches South Kitsap has ever had.

Norman Vincent Peale, a clergyman and writer, once said, “You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. You don’t have to be tired and bored. Get interested in

• something. Get absolutely enthralled in something. Throw

yourself into it with abandon.” Maynard Lundberg never lived a dull moment. South Kitsap was his “something.” “Not only was I blessed to receive the Maynard Lundberg Scholarship, it made me realize the significance of “SK Pride” – spirit, dedication and a determination to make school and community a better place. The talented recipients before me have set high standards. I try every day to be worthy of this great honor”

never missed an SK football game. Eric Canton, a fonner three-sport star at

SouU1 Kitsap in the mid-1980s, said

l.

When legendary football coach Ed

Fisher came on board in the late 1970s, Canton said Fisher made sure every player

got to know Lundberg.

'That man was unbelievable," Canton

'said. "Ed forced us to recognize Maynard and appreciate him. Football was his love."

love the man. "Maybe he didn't coach the most suc- ·cessrultemns, but he always had an incred-
