eti re men l MR. HAROLD F. HOLMAN Mr. Harold F. Holman has been a ded¬ icated teacher in his three decades of ser¬ vice to Girard. Whenever a student needed help, Mr Holman was there. Whether it was in schoolwork or adjusting to the rigors of Girard life, he was always willing to lend a helping hand or a few words of advice. It is for this that we, the Class of 1969, on behalf of ourselves and all his past and present student, wish him happi¬ ness in his retirement. MR. JOHN M. BENZ Quiet, reserved, but always sincere; this was Mr. Benz. Meeting him in Mari ner and, later, in Bordeaux, was an exper¬ ience that bettered all our lives. His sin¬ cerity was evident in the extra time hr spent to make the tennis team a reality, and in the innumerable other projects he undertook to improve Girard. He will al¬ ways occupy a special place in the hearts of the class. A 3 y

lAJe t)edicate Our (IdooL to MR. PATRICK BROWN His classes were demanding, and he did not gain instant popularity as a reward. However, Mr. Brown always com¬ manded our respect, and usually got it. The number of Girard students who attri¬ bute their college honors to his teaching show that he taught us much about both the demands of the English language and the academic life. We will always be in¬ debted to him for his efforts. MR. BERNARD J. KONOPKA Mr. Bernard Konopka came to Girard during our freshmen year and since that time has helped us with unselfish advice and influenced us to think independently. He proved to have an engaging per¬ sonality and sense of humor which always managed to brighten our dull days. He stressed the importance of individuality, insight, and initiative in our life at Girard. For his devotion to the betterment of us all, we here express our sincere thanks. i 2 y
