Richard 'Mole' JanigianTeacher, Coach

Richard "Mole" Janigian, 78, who taught and coached sports at D.C. public schools and who also directed the Redskin Singers for more than a dozen years until the late 1990s, died June 16 of cardiac arrest at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore. He was a longtime District resident.

Mr. Janigian taught physical education and biology at Bell Vocational High School for 22 years and later at Dunbar and Wilson high schools. He also coached basketball, football and baseball at Bell and Wilson. He took the head baseball coaching job at Wilson in 1984 and led the team to three championships. He also coached sports at Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington.

Early in his teaching career, Mr. Janigian testified before a congressional committee and was instrumental in getting Congress to pass legislation awarding high school teachers extra pay for coaching. At that time, coaches were limited to teachers willing to volunteer.

Mr. Janigian was born in Washington, the youngest son of Armenian immigrants who operated the Mount Vernon Hotel at Fourth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

At Wilson High School, from which he graduated, Mr. Janigian lettered in baseball, football and basketball. He was elected to the D.C. All High School Team and Jocks Hall of Fame. About 1945, he won a regional Golden Gloves Championship in Chicago.
