To decide to dedicate a copy of the school yearbook to a person takes a lot of consideration by members of the yearbook staff. The dedication recognizes the outstanding character of the reci- pients. lt pays tribute to that per- son's committment to education, to excellence, to achievement. Persons who are recipients of dedications have shown themselves to be loving, caring in- dividuals who have the best in- terests of their students at heart. This year the yearbook staff would like to recognize the efforts of three such individuals. These are people who have given much more of themselves than is required by their contracts of employment. These individuals have dedicated their lives to education. All three recipients of this year's dedication have been educators fora number of years. The students of Mrs. Doris Brown have experienced the pa- tient, understanding manner of this teacher who has been tennis coach at Parkland for many years. ln ad- dition, Mrs. Brown has instructed P.E. classes and, this year, became a iunior English teacher as well. Mr. Rene Barreras has been at Parkland for six years. During that time many JV football players have received valuable football fun- damentals from this coach. He has brought about an increase in the weights and conditioning program while instructing classes in health, P.E., and weights and conditioning. Ms. Carol Allen, principal of Parkland High School assumed that post in January after having serv- ed as assistant principal for two years. Students and teachers soon learned ofthe even-handed fairness of this administrator who was in charge of discipline and student ac- tivities as assistant principal. Ms. Allen worked very diligently to bring about improvements at our school. Under her leadership pain- ting, fixing, and cleaning became a constant reminder that we could take a lot of pride in being Parkland High School Matadors. We are grateful to Mrs. Brown, Mr. Barreras and Ms. Allen for their tireless efforts to help students suc- ceed, and we proudly dedicate the 1987 ARENA to them.

to friends and teachers: we hope we'll meet again, someday... Saying goodbye Suddenly, June had arrived. An- nouncements were out, top students named, the honors assembly was held. Then came graduation rehearsals, the big night, possession of that diploma. Parties, farewells, sad goodbyes to friends bound for college, military service, careers. Seniors stepped out of the pic- ture. but the legacy the class of '87 left behind is this: records to be challenged, goals to be fulfilled, dreams, fun, work, sweat, success! Parkland changes with every graduating class. Each year a new group of juniors takes over the leadership. Freshmen and sophomores move up. MATADOR MANIA sunrives. It is in good hands.
