Thomas C. Holliday

Thomas Cromwell Holliday (June 28, 1890 – September 7, 1940), sometimes spelled Holiday, was an American football player and coach. He played college football at the fullback and halfback positions for four years at Texas A&M College. After graduating, he served as the head football coach at the Texas School for the Deaf and Dumb in Austin, Texas. During World War I, he served as an aviator in France.[1] In 1921, he was the head football coach at the Texas School of Mines (now known as the University of Texas at El Paso), leading the 1921 Texas Mines Miners football team to a 1–4 record.[2] In December 1921, Holliday announced that he would be unable to coach the team in 1922.[3] He was married to Josephine Nations Morfit in February 1922.[4][5] He later worked as a general agent for Aetna.

gollark: Also also also, the ` ticks_count = 0 # this is supposed to hold the number of ticks we have instanced an object for` on the `Tick` class is not used anywhere.
gollark: Also also, `def __str__(self): pass` doesn't seem to do anything either.
gollark: Also, this function seems to have no valid reason to exist.
gollark: > def indIncreaseCounter(tickInstance):Python convention is to use `snake_case`, not `camelCase`.
gollark: Just looking at this file here: https://github.com/mHappah3019/Tick-Counter/blob/main/TickClass.py> # creates an attribute called identifier and assigns to it> # the value of the "identifier" parameter> # creates an attribute called macro and assigns to it the> # value of the "macro" parameterThese comments are not useful. It is generally assumed that whoever is reading your code is aware of the basics of how the language is used, so your comments should instead describe higher-level stuff like *why* it's doing what it does, what an entire function does, unusual things it might be doing, etc.
