206 Iames Pomeroy THE 98 -88 YE RBCOK I DEDICATED T O AMES L. POIVIERDY t certainly wasn't hard for us to choose who to dedicate the 1988 Yearbook to. lt is our privilege to dedicate this year's book to Mr. J.L. Pomeroy. When we came to him with our decision, his first reaction was No, you can't dedicate the yearbook to me, because l'm the advisor. But his reluctance wouldn't change our minds. He certainly deserves the honor. He has worked tirelessly for the students in Photography and has dedicated ten years of his life to the publication of the Sunburst yearbook. Mr. Pomeroy has given many hours and days of his life to his profession and has helped many of his students begin their careers. Not only this, he is V.l.C.A. advisor. This itself could be a full time profession as every year he sacrifices his free time to out of town trips, and after school and weekend projects. All of this couldn't be done unless he really loved his work. Even when things get tough, he never ceases to show a smile and give you one of his special hugs. There will never be another Pom. We love you and we will miss you. Sunburst Yearbook Staff 've been at Eldorado since its beginning. When the school opened it provided a full career. I have seen many students, teachers, and administrators come and go, and just telling about those who contributed to my life would take three pages. l am tremendously proud of the accomplishments of the teachers and students at Eldorado. I have been privileged to teach many fine young people, many of whom I would be proud to have for my own children. As they change, grow, and move on, so must I. I will miss those fine young people: I will miss this place, and particularly, I will miss the wonderful friends I have met here. I will miss the insanity of the Lunch Wild Bunch and their relentless attacks on the world's sacred cows. As I move on, I will always look back at Eldorado as one of the shining experiences of my life. Eldorado, I love you, and you will always be part of my life. James L. Pomeroy
