Dedication Mr. John Damelio: drama club director; speech club adviser; teacher of speech, drama, and yearbook; husband and father is a man to be admired. Mr. Damelio has been the tireless ' Jack of all trades ' at Orange Glen since it ' s inception In 1962. In that year, he taught freshman English and speech. Since then, he has taken on yearbook, drama, and ad- vaneed speech . Mr. John L. Damelio Since that first year, Mr. D. as he is affectionately known, has encouraged the debate and speech program for Patriot speakers, and directed the many dramatic productions which occured this year, as he has the ones of previous years. This man of tireless energy, this campus leader, does not know that we have dedicated this book to him. Without Mr. John Damelio this yearbook. It ' s prede¬ cessors, the drama club, and many, many honors for OG would not have been possible. We thank you, Mr. John Damelio. The Torch ' 67 staff June 1, 1967
