Mr. Al Dennis Devotion to Bakersfield High School in his job and devotion to students in his work has in- volved Mr. Al Dennis in a position of importance to everyone at BHS. Never expecting thanks for his efforts and never receiving recognition, Mr. Dennis has epitomized the ideal of devotion through 30 years of service to BHS. In his role as Director of Student Finance, stu- dents, faculty, and parents recognize Mr .Dennis' devotion to the responsibilities of his job-from preparing the student body budget to operating the student store, and including much more than that. However, in his direction of the school's photography program, the Oracle staff recognizes Mr. Dennis' major devotion. For many years he has worked tirelessly in meeting the demands of Oracle publicationg his loyalty and service are as endless as his work. Photography is his first devo- tion, his hobby, and this involvement is mani- fested in Mr. Dennis' commitment to the Oracle. His effort in various dimensions of school ac- tivity represents the utmost quality of devotion to others. In fulfillment of the theme DIMEN- SIONS OF DEVOTION, the 1968 Oracle is dedi- cated to Mr. Al Dennis.
