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

Student Life As our puzzle is comprised of more than just school work, we spent our time in ways other than behind a desk. Our student life was as important as our school work. Special events broke the monotony of six classes Five days a week. Almost every other week, from Sep- tember to early November, we gathered in the gym for a high spirited pep rally. Homecoming activities were the high- light of October. The zany costumes of spirit week, the antics at the Lion's Roar, the Homecoming victory over Brandon, and the memorable night of the Home- coming dance set the pace for an exciting Sugar Shak. the school play, class elec- tions, Grand Nite, the prom, and gradua- tion soon followed and our thoughts turned to making plans for the next year. What we did. where we went, and what we wore were part of our student life also. Our fashions, fads, and pastimes set us apart from other generations and gave us a look all our own.
