DEDICATION TOM GRALINSKI Tom Gralinski. By no means is it the most well known name on campus. In case you ' re wondering, he hangs out in the GRAPHICS room, right next to AUTO. And it’s no wonder only a select group of us gets to know him. He wears ink-smeared ‘trench coats’, keeps a low profile, and has been known to grow a beard almost overnight to further disguise his identity. But everyone that does know “the Gra’’ or has taken one of his classes truly appreciates him. Most of us are victims of typical sophomore thinking. We say “Yeah, I’m taking Graphics. Hey, it’s an easy A, right?’’ Wrong! Mr. Gralinski’s classes are fun and different, but they’re also challenging. Over the course of a semester or year one becomes sincerely grateful of his patience and willingness to help out. Our memories of Graphics are terrific, and they all involve Mr. Gralinski in one way or another. He’s funny, encouraging, but most of all, caring. What other teacher so often expresses his concern towards students’ well-being? “Don’t look at the light!’’, he constantly warns, “It’ll blind you!!!’’ So here’s to Tom Gralinski. He’s a great teacher and a cool guy. But most importantly, he’s appreciated, since he’s one of those all too rare people who make our time here enjoyable and rewarding. -John Masalski Mike O ' Connor Tyl ' C -
