Dedication The class of 1986 is proud to dedicate this edition of Tantara to Mr. Clint Burrows for his contributions both within and outside the classroom. As a teacher, he has acted with deep concern for the progression of his students, giving of himself unselfishly to further their knowledge and understanding. Mr. Burrow's per- sonable character has inspired us to expand our intellectual hori- zons, to pursue a higher degree of learning. He truly cares for his students. He brings this same outlook to his role as assistant football coach. Mr. Burrows' ability to relate well to the players and his experience in athletics has greatly contributed to the team's performance throughout the season. He has also been involved in other facets of student life as an advisor. Not only has he provided guidance in this capacity, but companionship and enthusiasm, as well. It has been Mr. Burrows' constant assertion of optimism which has given us the hope to overcome seemingly impassable obstacles. His sacrifices as advisor have helped make possible our many class activities. It is because of his continuing quest for excellence as a teacher and as a person that the class of 1986 chooses to honor him. 16
