Thank-You Dennis!! If you ' ve ever walked around the campus with your eyes open you ' ve probably noticed a stocky, slightly greying man who has a 35 mm camera per- manently attatched to his lower abdomin. We on the yearbook staff have come to know and love this individual who seems to spend more time here than the statue outside the adminis- tration wing. But where did this devoted, caring and hard work- ing photographer come from? And why does he dedicate so much of his time to us. ' To an- swer this you would have to know Dennis Trerotola. According to his mother, Pat, Dennis began his artistic en- deavors at age h by disman- tling the family piano. Tempo- rarily shunned from a musical career by his mother, he turned He painted the Boxer dog with yellow house- paint and the house plaid to painting, he painted the Boxer dog with yellow house- paint and the house plaid (to match the wallpaper in his room), said Mrs. Walsh. Per- haps it was this experience which turned him back to mu- By the ripe age of fourteen he had not only cut an album with Mae West entitled WA Y OUT WEST, but be had also ap- peared on television singing and playing the guitar to his own composition, MARY, MARY. From there, Dennis toured Europe with a sin ging group on four separate occa- sions. Eventually, he expanded his musical talents to include contemporary and popular scores. But Dennis was destined to do far greater things and his love for people moved him into photography. After attending Art Center in Pasadena, he went to work for his father ' s lab-Alfred and Fabris Studios in Los Angeles. After learning the ropes, he acquired his own studio in Covina. His love for photography is surpassed only by his love for his sweet wife, Cathy. She has tremendous patience for all the weird hours I have to put in, Dennis reflected, ... she has to put up with all the sittings and all the assignments that usually run over the time slot. Those seniors who Dennis pho- tographed know that he spends a great deal of time getting the ' perfect ' pose — after-all he is a perfectionist! He ' s the type of person you feel comfortable with as most of the student body can attest to. In a school of 1650 students it ' s dif- ficult to know everybody but somehow Dennis tries to do just that. His genuine interest, his love for people and most of all his love for God make him an outstanding example of Christian caring. We are truly lucky to have such a talented and loving person helping us with the yearbook. We know that without his help and guid- ance this yearbook may not have been possible. THANK-YOU DENNIS!! 256 A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS
