NONNEWAUG HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1985 DEDICATION The class of 1985 dedicates this yearbook to Ms. Tara Rickart and Mrs. Sharon Lavitory, our class advisors. With their tireless efforts they have helped us through four very important years of our lives, here at Nonnewaug High School. A class advisor is not always a pleasant task. But all the duties that our advisors had to do were always done with honest, diligent effort. Their encouragement and devotion was an inspiration to our class. More than mere advisors, they have become our friends. With this dedication, go our sincere thanks. 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 13 15 Board of Education Administration Front row—left to right: Joan Smith.
