What greater or better gift can we offer . . . than to teach and instruct our youth? ---Cicero A celebration can be so simple, when there is so much to be celebrated. But perhaps one of the most valuable and important aspects of life to celebrate is that of knowledge. Acquiring and gaining knowledge is an endless circle. There must constantly be someone to play the role of instructor or educator. Celebrating such an educator, the Los Coyotes staff is proud to dedicate Los Coyotes 1 976 to MRS. LESLEE BOND. Coming to BPHS in September of 1960, Mrs. Bond has contributed to the school in her own way. Over the past fifteen years, her own Inspiration and Dedication to teaching has kept her going enthusiastically. Starting out as a rookie Coyote, she began as a teacher in the English Department. Throughout her career at BPHS, Mrs. Bond has become a teacher of English, Journalism, and Publications. Being a true ourdoorswoman, she enjoys bicycle riding, hiking, camping, and picnicking, along with photography. Owning a large motor home, Mrs. Bond and her husband do much traveling. As journalism adviser, Mrs. Bond is a profile of courage. Many times she has spent long hours working late at night, or on weekends to help students complete work for newspaper and yearbook deadlines. Anytime she is needed by students for sjsecial help, she makes a point to stay after school to assist them. This is a difficult, time consuming job, but Mrs. Bond is a determined individual who takes it in stride. So, to you MRS. LESLEE BOND, educator and friend, we celebrate your achievements with this dedication. 4 Dedication

Z l U This year marks the twentieth-year anniversary of Buena Park High School. The Los Coyotes staff would like to Commend those teachers who have taught with dedication for the full twenty years that BPHS has been in existence. They are Mr. Rito Rios, assistant principal; Mr. Vahram Kerian, Mathematics: Mrs. Ruth Nordstrom, English; Mr. Scott Malich, Boys P. E. Coach: and Ms. Claudine Casey, Girls P.E. Coach. When Mr. Rios came to BPHS he was a bachelor who received his B.A. from UCLA. Mr. Rios began as an Art and Spanish teacher. Mr. Vahram Kerian taught at a Buena Park elementary school for four years before coming to BPHS. Mr. Kerian composed the Alma Mater and Coyote Fight while teaching Music and Math. After teaching in Westbrook, Dawson, Lake City, and Renville, Minnesota, Mrs. Ruth Nordstrom came to BPHS where she has taught in the English Department. A former U.S. Army serviceman, Mr. Scott Malich also taught at a Buena Park elementary school before coming to BPHS. Mr. Malich has been Director of Athletics for eleven years. One would think P.E. was the only thing Ms. Claudine Casey has taught. However, a year before coming to BPHS she taught fellowship at the University of Colorado. These teachers ' contributions and devoted service will always be remembered and greatly appreciated. 6 Recognition
