Beloit College

David Hendricks felt he was fortunate to attend Beloit College by way of a scholarship at the end of his senior year at Cuba City High School.  Once on campus he gave everything of himself to his studies as well as the Buccaneer Men’s Basketball team.  After graduation he never stopped giving back to the College that helped him, in his words, “become a useful asset to society.”  He was, and is, so much more than that.  A four-year letterwinner for the Bucs, Hendricks was a three-time All-Midwest Conference selection and twice was the team’s MVP. A guard, he was just the fourth player in Beloit history to eclipse the 1,000 career-points mark and still ranks 16^th in program history with 1,013. His best season came as a junior when he finished third in the conference with 20.4 points-per-game. In his senior year he scored 50 points against the University of Chicago, which is still tied for third all-time in the Beloit record books. He earned Second Team All-State honors at the conclusion of that 1963-64 season.  After graduation, Hendricks earned a Masters degree in Counseling from Northern Michigan University; taught German and Latin and coached at St. John’s School in Houston, to which he returned in 2010 as Athletic Director; and worked for over 20 years in direct mail and publishing.  He has continued to support Beloit College over the years.  He truly did become “a useful asset to society.”
