Mr. Plunkett, Mrs. Plunkett with John and Mary. Although our four years in high school have flown by, vve will always remember Mr. Plunkett with deep fondness and admiration as our dearest friend. He has stood beside us in both our triumphs and our defeats, and through it all he has shown us the path to confidence, faith, and understanding. As our class advisor Mr. Plunkett has given us many-wonderful things to remember: Rock Rivalry rehearsals and class meetings, the Junior Prom, and many money-making schemes. During our four years with Mr. Plunkett he has helped us to find ourselves, to mold our characters, and to lose our prejudices. He taught us not only to think for ourselves as individuals, but also to cooperate and work as a group. As a lasting tribute we dedicate this most treasured possession, the culmination of four years of work, the 1961 ROCK to you, Mr. Plunkett, the person to whom we owe the most thanks and the person to whom we arc most grateful. You taught us our lessons well, and we will never forget them or you. Thanks, Mr. Plunkett. 5
