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

THE 98 -88 YE RBQCK I DEDICATED T O JACKIE I'IY TT hoosing the woman to dedicate our Yearbook to was a very tough task. We based our decision on how much time and effort the person put into theirjob. That is why we have chosen Ms. Jackie Hyatt. Ms. Hyatt has been a Physical Education teacher and a Cheerleader advisor since the school opened 14 years ago. She is involved with all Cheerleaders, Mascots, and Yell Leaders. All of the time that she spends with her students shows when they perform. Ms. Hyatt has helped with all of the spirit assemblies and without her help there would be total chaos. Promoting our schools spirit seems to be a talent that has been given to this wonderful lady. She enjoys spending time with her students and loves her job teaching here at Eldorado. Ms. Hyatt is a very caring and understanding lady and is always there for the students when they need her. Her support throughout the year is definately needed by all of her students. Ms. Hyatt enjoys everything about herjob and her fellow staff members. We would like to thank her for all that she has done for our school and congratulate her for this honor. Sunburst Yearbook Staff. eciding to teach at Eldorado High School was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have taught at Eldorado since it opened its doors and have never wanted to teach anywhere else. The students at Eldorado are like none other in the district. They are very real and sincere people. As I look back through the years and remember students from years past and look at my students today, I see that the same wonderful qualities still prevail. It is because of these students that my days are happy and I realize fully why I became a teacher. My life is so fulfilled and I am working at a job that I truly love. I am indeed a fortunate person. There are so many people that dislike their jobs and I feel sorry for them. I think about how miserable they must be and then realize how lucky and blessed I am to be around people I enjoy everyday and how much fun and rewarding my job is. Having the yearbook dedicated to me has been the most rewarding honor I have ever received. I am truly thrilled. To all the students, staff, and administration I would like to say thank you for being you and making my days happy and my job a most pleasant and rewarding experience. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Jackie Hyatt jackie Hyatt ' 207
