Elliot Roundy  (1934-1935)  

Elliott Roundy had a burning passion for the sports world, particularly the schoolboy sports world. Elliott was involved in sports from his days as a young boy up until his passing. 

     A Marblehead High School graduate, Elliott played on the MHS football team, where he was an All-Star interior lineman for two years, as well as the baseball and basketball teams, all of which captured Northeastern Conference championships during the 1934-35 academic year. Elliott attended Colgate University playing four years of baseball and two years of football for the Red Raiders. After serving in the Navy from 1942-46, he returned to his hometown to live and raise
a family. 

     In 1950, Elliott embarked on what would become a legendary 32-year teaching and coaching career at Ipswich High School. While at IHS, he served as head coach of varsity football, baseball and basketball from 1951 to 1963. Elliott also spent 25 years officiating football, baseball and basketball at the high school level.
