d? bp Edward Leo Through the years, the students of Everett High School have dedicated their yearbooks to a member of the faculty, who, to them had been an outstanding fig¬ ure throughout their three years at Everett High. This year we are proud to dedicate our yearbook to a man who has been more than just an outstanding figure to us, Mr. Edward Leo. To the Class of 72 he has shown warmth, understanding, and kind¬ ness. He has portrayed to us the necessity for discipline, which has helped to make the graduating class of 1972 an outstand¬ ing figure in the history of Everett High School. 4 « - a Pi rsa ! 1 i illlli HU Everybody listen to me I ' m your captain, I ' m your captain. 6

Well, I guess I ' ve said a lot of things about how much time I think I ' ve wasted learning stuff like that. I bet you ' re wondering what I would like to learn. I ' d like to learn how to be your friend, you whoever you are, reading this. I ' d like to know how to defeat all the fears that keep me from knowing and trusting you. Whoever you are, I don ' t even know you, but I think you must be a beautiful person. If I ever meet you, and I ' m foolish enough not to like you, it ' s my fault, not yours. It ' s just that I ' m human, and I can ' t make it all the time. I wish I could learn how to make it and be someone ' s friend, more of the time, because friends are what life is for. I guess it seems like I ' m skipping all around, writing this, and getting off the subject. Really, I ' m not. I ' ll agree it ' s probably confusing, but I ' m just think¬ ing about school, and writing what comes to mind. If I were to try to write the perfect paper, I ' d only be able to write about certain things and I might miss something about school we ' ve never seen before. It ' s good sometimes just to let yourself go, and write freely, and don ' t chop out anything because all we chop out is part of us too, and part of everything- so maybe we should look at them once in a while. Maybe there ' s a clue here to what ' s going on in the world. After all, we really do want to know what ' s going on, don ' t we? Isn ' t that what matters? We can ' t follow the rules and find out what the guy before us learned, can we? Don ' t we want to know new things? I like to learn new things, and if I can, why can ' t we share them? Maybe if we found out something new together we could be friends. Greg Tucker 5

Mr. Leo has shown to us, contrary to belief, that students are able to actually talk with members of the faculty. He has advised us, when requested, about our attitudes towards school, our family life, and he has even given ideas to members of the football team. To sum up our feelings for Mr. Leo, let us only say that to this year ' s graduating class of 72 he ' s been ALL RIGHT !.
