l Dedication: Mr. Larry Peterson. . . Humble, willing to give of himself, and highly respected-three qualities that make Larry Peterson a real attribute, not only to our high school, but to our community. i in Seattle, Mr. Peterson attended high school in Bremerton, where he won recognition in football, basketball, and baseball. He went on to college at Stanford, University of Washington, Seattle Pacific, and Seattle University. At SPU, he was a respected athlete in basketball and baseball. 1956 was Bothell's lucky year, when Mr. Peterson, Mr. Ackerman, and Mr. Strand all ioined the faculty. For ten years, Mr. Peterson has concentrated on Math and Science, which he enioys and in which he is very proficient. In 1964 he received a Ford Foundation grant in mathematics. Last year he refused the vice principalship at Inglemoor, preferring to remain in the classroom, teaching. Pete and Coach are his two most common nicknames. As a coach he has guided tennis and basketball teams as long as he has been here. In 1960, he brought Bothell its only tennis championship, with a team that didn't lose a match. Since Bothell became a Class AA school C19601, Pete has stolen five out of six KingCo basketball championships. For four years, he has been beaten in the last seconds by a mere bucket. Three out of four of those years, the teams he lost to went on to take the State Championship-Garfield, Hudson's Bay, and Renton. Coach , Pete , or Mr. Peterson , he has not only given his abundant knowledge, but of himself as a person tothe students at Bothell. He enioys greatly his work with young people. Some of Bothell's best students and best athletes have been products of his classes. Pete isn't the type of man who looks for publicity or the center of attention, whether he has a winning team, or a good student. He tries to share his qualities of sinceri- ty, strong conviction and high standards of personal pride. He gains personal satisfaction by sending an athlete or student into life with these traits. For his great contributions to students and organizations at Bothell High, the 1966 Cougar is very proudly dedicated to a great guy: MR. LARRY PETERSON The 1957 A Squad Basketball Team: Jim Gaylord, Roger Sires, Dick Nicholl, Earl Hylton, Bill Demetre, and Coach Peterson.

His Trip was financed in large part by efforts of the Northshore Education Associa- tion, students, and community efforts. In his second year as vice-principal, Mr. Tom McNutt filled in for Mr. Strand during his month-long Trip, and throughout the year advised the activities ofthe A.S.B.

There is no element that gives greater satisfaction than a perform- ance by any one of us in the demonstration of good will in The most sincere manner.
