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.

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.
FORMER LUNDBERG SCHOLORSHIP RECIPIENTS Norman Vincent Peale, a clergyman and writer, once said, C L “ You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. A S You don ’ t have to be tired and bored. Get interested in S something. Get absolutely enthralled in something. Throw O F yourself into it with abandon.” Maynard Lundberg never lived 8 a dull moment. South Kitsap was his “something.” 4 DAVID RILL “Not only was I blessed to receive the Maynard Lundberg C L Scholarship, it made me realize the significance of “SK A S Pride” – spirit, dedication and a determination to S make school and community a better place. The talented O F recipients before me have set high standards. I try every day 0 to be worthy of this great honor” 2 KATIE RALPH
