In 4963, after moving to Arizona, Mr. Bacon accepted a position at Mesa High, where he advised the year- book for four years. Then, feeling the challenge for adventure, the Bacon family moved to Tehran, Iran, where Dave taught Eng- lish and advised the yearbook at the Tehran-American School. Two years later, the family, consisting of his wife of twenty-six years, Rita, and two daughters, Lin- da and Karen, moved back to Mesa, where, in 4976, Dave received the English Department chairmanship at Mountain View. Mr. Curlett has described Dave as being 'tone of the most valuable department heads on his staff. Even though Mr. Bacon keeps a busy schedule-he teaches at M.C.C. and has published four workbooks and several articles- his wife describes him as being Ha devoted family man. With his family, Mr, Bacon has traveled extensively, including over half of the U.S.. much of Europe, Israel, and Iran. So, it is with great pleasure that we dedicate this book to a man who has been invaluable to our staff- Mr. Dave Bacon, who has himself advised yearbook staffs for eight years. Dedication
