Dedication to You, DCl Each year the seniors are faced with the pleasant task of dedicating the yearbook. The man chosen this year is one to whom the seniors are particularly close, for he has been behind them during their years at Parker, and this year he has helped them with the task of preparing for college. Born and raised in Binghamton, New York, he graduated from lVlanlius High School. He has an older brother after whom he named his youngest son. He received his BA. at the University of Buffalo and his lVl.A. at the State College of New York at Albany. Before coming to Parker he was the Headmaster of Westminister Boys' School in Atlanta, Georgia. Prior to that he was an assistant professor at the College of General Studies at Rochester Institute of Technology, where he met and married his wife. Accepting the position of Headmaster at Parker, he moved to San Diego in 1969 with his wife Joan and his two sons, lVlike and Ken. He pursues many hobbies such as trout-hshing, surf-casting, and above all, tennis. Being somewhat of a male chauvinist, he favors only male authors. This along with a dry sense of humor endears him to those around him. His door is always open to students and faculty, for his office is a place of business as well as relaxation. His main goal is to produce a well-rounded person, one who can excel in academics and the arts as well as sports. He once stated to the faculty, UI feel strongly that Parker's over- riding, distinctive characteristic should be our striving to be ljust a little better than the other guy! I've never found much job satisfaction in a school that was willing to be a 'carbon copy' of the one down the street! He puts his philosophy to work, for in the recent past, Parker has been accredited with the highest recommendations by two accrediting associations and this year was selected for the Cum Laude Society. In Parker's future, he would like to see a new science building and a center of performing arts which would include art studios and drama facilities. He would like to see that Parker grows in quality, not in size. It is because of his devotion and our admiration that we dedicate this CAVALCADE to the man in the bright red car-with words that he has often quoted: Dr. Douglas C. Crone, ltWe wish you the courage to be warm when the world would prefer that you be cool. We wish you success sufficient to your needs, we wish you failure to temper that success. We wish you joy in all your days, we wish you sadness so you may better measure joy. We wish you happiness to balance grief. We wish you humor and sparkle of life. uWe wish you the glory and fortitude to handle its burdens. We wish you peace in the world in which you labor and in the smallest corner of the heart where truth is kept. We wish you faith to help guide your living and your life. lVlore we cannot wish you, except perhaps love, to make all the rest worthwhile. 4 X Piss This page: D.C. with young Mike and Ken.
