'76 CLASS ADVISORS The Class of '76 would never really have been a class without the efforts of Ms. Dorothy Adamson and Mr. Ray Fillion, our class advisors. We wish to thank them for their time, work, and caring attitude, as they saw us through to Graduation Day. In all our activities, from sophomore year on, they worked with officers, committees, and behind the scenes, to help us have as full a high school experience as possible. They were always ready to serve our class, and will be long remembered and talked about throughout our lives out in the world of business. Thank you, Ms. Adamson and Mr. Fillion, for helping make our high school years fun, memorable, exciting, wholesome, and great! 5

Mr. Jim White, once a Social Studies teacher at Kaynor, is one of the teachers to whom the 1976 Panther Yearbook is dedicated. He will always be an outstanding part of our memories of Kaynor. To most of us, he was a lot more than a teacher; he was a friend with whom we could openly talk. In his classroom there were few inhibitions and each student had an equal chance to share his own opinion and to express himself. When we found out last September that he would be leaving to teach at Abbott Tech in Danbury, we were all disappointed. We hope that he has many good memories of his last senior class at Kaynor Tech, the Class of ’76. PANTHER yo DEDICATIONS Mr. Rudolf Manacek, General Education Department Head and English teacher, is the other recipient of our Bicentennial Yearbook dedication. He has always been ready to be of service to our class, and he will be long-remembered as our teacher and our friend. The Yearbook Staff particularly appreciated the many times he dismissed us so that we could work on this book. Thank you, Mr. Manacek. 4

JOHN L. ROSSI Director Greetings and congratulations to each of you, members of the Class of '76. One of the most pleasant aspects of my work as Kaynor's school director is the opportunity to say a word to the graduating class. Without belaboring the Bicentennial theme, I can remind you that your class is privileged to be graduating during such an historic year. You need no better reminder of your American heritage - its unforgettable message: ... endowed by their Cre- ator with certain unalienable rights; its unique mixture of individual responsibility and collective concern for the preservation of our neighbors' rights and freedom as well as our own; its defense of the dignity of the common man, of the skilled laborer, as well as of the owners of industry. You can be any one or all of these in your lifetime. Whatever your choice, may you enjoy health, happi- ness, and good American sense along the way. John L. Rossi The Class of '76 leaves many memories at Kay- nor. A fine group of young people, already winners, actively involved citizens, potentially good mechanics, and proven students. When you receive your diploma and say good- bye, it will mark the end of an era. I feel it a privilege to be able to say I saw these young people grow into adulthood. Later, that will change to I knew them when with much pride. Good Luck! John J. Mills 6 JOHN J. MILLS Asst. Director
