' Special Friend ' Receives AwQvd It took a certain combination to make the 77 ' -78 ' journey an unforget- table one. But it ' s an almost magic combination of qualities that make a person a spe- cial friend. Because the students have found such a friend at BP. the Los Coyotes staff is proud to dedicate the 1978 year- book to Mrs. Betty Whitelock. The dedication carried with it a slightly different meaning this year. In a special Fall election, each BP Junior and Senior had the opportunity to nominate the teacher, administrator, or classified employee most deserving of the Los Coyotes ' dedication. From that list of nominees, the Los Coyotes ' staff members selected Mrs. Betty White- lock to receive this special honor. Mrs. Whitelock describes BP as her ' Home away from home . Coming to BP in 1962, she spent her first year in the guidance office and has ever since been a familiar face in the bookstore. Buy it in the bookstore is a com- mon phrase often heard on the morn- ing bulletins. She adds her own pe rsonality to ev- erything she sells, from the purchase of a Go Coyotes button to a ticket to a Friday night dance. She treats each student as an indi- vidual and takes an interest in each nne. When financial problems inter- Icre with buying that special school memento, she is always able to work things out. Almost every student will come in contact with Mrs. Whitelock, whether he is a Freshman buying his first activ- ity card or a Senior receiving his grad- uation announcements. As we discover new destinations we will always remember those special friends we made on our wav there.
