NOW ' S MY CHANCE, thinks Mr. C as he ottempts to hold onto his donkey and grab the ball from Steve Trefts in the donkey basketball game. TAKING TIME OUT from correcting research papers after school, Mr. C helps Bill Brady understand some obscure meanings in Plato ' s philosophy. ' 67 Triton Dedicated to Pot Costontini DURING A RELAXING game of checkers, Mr. Costontini puzzles over his next move. He and a few Key Club members drove to Lake Tohoe for skiing over Christmas vacation. 18 Through friendship, mutual respect and aca- demic enthusiasm, Mr. Pat Costantini has trans- formed education into an intriguing experience. He not only has stimulated learning through deep understanding of student life gleaned from end- less hours of active participation, he has devel- oped an effective channel of communication be- tween himself and his students. Mr. Costantini ' s personal commitment to learning is evidenced by his total involvement in school life. To benefit his students ' understand- ing of the world situation, Mr. C initiated a course in international relations. As well as teaching five different classes, he sponsored the Class of 1967 and the Key Club. Mr. Costantini has enthusiastically taken part in faculty plays, donkey basketball, school carni- vals and dances and has been a loyal spectator at athletic events. In recognition of this unselfish contribution to the students of Polos Verdes High School, the 1967 Triton is proudly dedicated to Mr. Pot Costantini. A NATION WITH POWER also hos national security, for the world is involved in a Darwinistic struggle for survival, Mr. Pat Costantini explains to his new class in international relations.
