King High School - Clarion Yearbook (Tampa, FL)

Dedication is an honor that a teacher will treasure forever. Bestowed by the senior class as a whole, it is a tribute to and a recognition of a faculty member who has greatly contributed to the field of education on the secondary level. Dedication will always live in a teacher’s memory and will prove to be a highlight of his professional career. This year the senior class lovingly dedicates the 21st volume of the Clarion to Mrs. Dorothy McLean. Her 22 years of faithful service to King and its students makes her one of our truly outstanding and deserving faculty members. Born in Cornelia, Georgia, Mrs. McLean studied history and Spanish at Brcnau College, the University of Florida, and the University of Madrid. She has been at King since the doors first opened in 1960 and has taught Spanish 1 through 4. She currently teaches Spanish 2 and 3. Mrs. McLean has sponsored the Junior Civitans for twelve years, the Continental Club for ten years, and the Spanish National Honor Society for fifteen years. In 1977 she was awarded a sobresaliente (outstanding) by her students and last year she received the outstanding state sponsor runner-up award for Junior Civitan. Mrs. McLean is involved in many community, state, and national organizations including Delta Kappa Gamma, a honorary teachers’ organization whose membership is by invitation only, and she is a honorary member of the Temple Terrace Civitan Club. Thank you. Mrs. McLean, for being so special, dedicated, and involved. You will remain in our hearts always. Dedication 17
