Dedication When faced with the task of selecting a person to whom to dedicate this yearbook, we, the editors, felt that there have been many in- dividuals who have been important parts of our lives; however, there is one who stood out among the rest. This person is Dr. Todd D. Flaherty. Doctor Flaherty is a well-respected individual in our school system. As Principal, he is faced with many decisions and responsibilities which, either directly or indirectly, affect each and every student and faculty member at Narra- gansett Junior-Senior High School. Because this includes a great number of people, one would not expect any one person to be able to recognize each person as an individual. He has proven this to be untrue and has shown his interest to extend far beyond his office. So, in order to thank him for his time and endless effort, we would like to dedicate the 1988 Maritimes Yearbook to Dr. Todd D. Flaherty. 2 Dedication
