            WHEREAS, Bill McCutchin has served as a coach of Mount Vernon High School's baseball team since 1968; and

            WHEREAS, Since assuming the co-head baseball coach position at Mount Vernon High in 1975, Bill McCutchin has compiled a tremendous winning record.  He has won six Northwest AA League crowns, three regional titles and, after he became the sole head coach in 1984, two state championships (1990 and 1992); and

            WHEREAS, In recognition of his achievements Bill McCutchin was elected to the Washington State High School Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1989, and was honored as the Washington State High School Baseball Coach of the Year in 1990; and

            WHEREAS, Not merely an excellent baseball coach, Bill McCutchin has also served as an assistant coach in football, swimming, and wrestling at Mount Vernon High; and

            WHEREAS, When he retires following this school year Bill McCutchin's success in Mount Vernon will not be measured solely in terms of games won or lost.  He has taught generations of Mount Vernon youth both academically, and on the field, the values of fair play and hard work;

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the state of Washington recognize, praise, and honor the dedicated career of a true teacher, Bill McCutchin; and

            BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be immediately transmitted by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to Bill McCutchin.

                                                                        May 5, 1993.
