DEDICATION Through the years in which Miss Joan Gallagher has served College High School, she has freely given of her time and talents in many diHerent capacities. She first came to our school in 1957 as, primarily, a guidance counselor, a position which, no matter how much additional work and how many other problems she has accumulated, she has riever been too busy to exercise. As Assistant Director to Dr. Keith Atkinson and Dr. Raymond Lewin, she performed countless administrative tasks, shifting many of the burdens of running a school such as ours to her shoulders, in order that Dr. Atkinson and Dr. Lewin might be free to protect the interests of College High from outside influences. Now, as our Director, she has assumed total responsibility for the running and continuance of College High School, and she is performing this difficult chore without the benefit of so able an assistant as her predecessors had. And yet, as inherently important as her administrative work is to College High School, she fills a post which is even more important to its students than the school ' s smooth opera- tion as an educational institution. For Miss Gallagher is not only our Director, but a friend to every student as well. From our first days at CHS she has taken a personal interest m every one of us. We have tried her patience to the limit many times, and forced her to discipline us on occasion; yet she has never allowed these instances to cloud her personal relatiOTi- ships with us. As our Director, her responsibilities and the demands made on her time are great; yet she is never too busy to talk for a minute with any student, be it about a guidance problem, a failing grade, or a pair of lost sneakers. Through the years she has chased us, praised us, criticized us, and advised us, in a continuous attempt to better us as indi- viduals and as a group. In grateful acknowledgement of her efforts and the sacrifices she has made for us, we, the Class of 1966, dedicate this yearbook to Miss Joan E. Gallagher.
