. 4 g V S at g u 1970 DEDICATIO Bernice Commeau's charming personality and outstanding devotion has endeared her to David Starr Jordan students. The 1970 Trailblazer staff would like to dedicate this year's book to her as an expression of thanks for her continual interest in our lives. Mrs. Commeau has been a Long Beach booster since 1924 when her family was one .ofthe first three families to ever build a home in Long Beach. Although a Polytechnical High School graduate, Mrs. Commeau has become a B. J. B. QBig Jordan Boosterl since she came here in 1955. Her family also played a part in our school's history when daughter Shari became the only girl student body president of Jordan to hold office. Running the student store efficiently is notenough for Bernice: she can always be found supporting our baseball, basketball and wrestling teams. Generation gaps are non existent as far as she is concerned. She feels, lf I try to understand the young people and their problems: they in return will try to understand me: and we all get along. Happiness is having Bernice Commeau as a friend. Friendships can grow for a lifetime. To growth! Thanks Mrs. Commeau for letting it begin. Thank you, 1970 Trailblazer Staff
