.6 i) EDICATION Many individuals contribute to our lives in school. However, we, the Class of 1972, feel that one individual stands out. He not only puts in a full day of teaching music, but also directs the Marching Lynx (both in concerts and parades) and constructs all the stage settings in the evenings and on weekends. For his willingness to help us and for his sacrifice of time, we proudly dedicate the 1972 OLEAN to MR. BRUCE K. BETZ 4
