7 The Drennens Appreoiated A Thank You To Those People Who Have Helped Us So Much Mr. and Mrs. Drennan- Through the two of you we have learned the true meaning of the word dedication. By pushing us to our limits, making us go that extra step, all of us have come to experience a new and increased potential that we never knew existed. Yes, there were times when we wanted to I -2.3 9 throw in the towel, but your constant encouragement always seemed to convince us to hang in there. Like our academic teachers, you demand the best from each of us. Unlike many others, how- ever, you are our friends. We can tand doll come to you for any- thing- whether it be a volleyball technique, a football or baseball play, a personal problem, or even an update on the latest gossip. Your expertise in your field is highly respected. Who else would know when to use a truck and trailor or that the defense needs to be altered for a left-handed hitter? Coach D. and Mrs. Coach D, your intense commitment and eternally optimistic outlook have revitalized the football, baseball, and volleyball teams and brought them up to cham- pionship level. Although we know that nothing we could say or do to repay you would be enough, we want you to know that we appreciate you. WHAT A COUPLE.

The Dedicated r Mr. Leavenworth Leaves Ah Era Ehds At Chadwick The class of 1988, dedi- cates the 1988 Dolphin to Donald L. Leavenworth, on behalf of the whole school, due to his achievements at Chadwick. Mr. Leavenworth has ac- complished more than any other person at Chadwick. When he came to the school, he took a chance. The school was on the verge of collaps- ing, yet he pulled it through those bad times and built it into the institution we have today. His aspirations for Chadwick have given us the fine facilities we now use, and the ability to use them to their utmost. Making more than an im- pression on the school, Mr. Leavenworth has become a part of the foundation upon which Chadwick stands. There are very few days that he is not seen about the cam- pus, creating the true Chad- T '- ' i .f i 28 '- arg ' 5, vw- c A ,g is-as--,, Af fi? K,,z wick atmosphere just through his presence as he walks through the halls, or visits the library. Chadwick is proud to call you its own, Mr. Leaven- worth, because of your ac- complishments and your po- sition as the premier head- master on the west coast. Few people realize what your job has entailed over the years. Many nights with stu- dents, teachers, and other headmasters have gone unre- cognized, yet they have had an effect on the school. It is that dedication to Chadwick which he recognize and hon- or. Without you, we could not be at Chadwick. Thank you for having cared about us and the school for all these many years! You will be sorely missed in your ab- sence from our day-to-day lives at school. A HAPPY COUPLE. Mr. and CONFIDENTLY LOOKING Mrs. Leavenworth, ready to BACK.
