Dedication • “When I was a lad of fourteen, I thought my old man was the most ignorant person in the world. When I was twenty-one, I was surprised how much he’d learned in seven years.” Mark Twain Over the past four years probably no other single person has had a greater effect on our class than the man to whom we dedicate this yearbook. We can not deny that this person truly holds for us a paternal understanding and affection, for he has shown that he will do anything possible to bring us closer to our high school desires, whether the desire be for a new ring, for a spectacular yearbook, or for a successful prom. Indeed, those of us who have worked closest with him can see a bit of the perfectionist father in his words, action, and concern, and like all children, we become at times restless and angry. Yet he ac- cepts our occasional impatience with a sense of humor and with re- spect— a natural respect which brings him closer to our level. This man looks forward with us, and we think looks up to us too, with genuine admiration for jobs well done. It takes a person like this to show that the gap of two generations is only physical. We the class of nineteen hundred and sixty eight would like this man to realize that, despite our occasional ingratitude and indiffer- ence, we appreciate all that he has done for us. But it is more than just what he has done, for we also recognize the young spirit and inexhaustible drive which is behind his every endeavor. John B. ' No- lan, if you are proud of us for anything we have done, remember that it certainly bears the influence of your great Efforts and desire. The Class of 1968
