When students come to Parkland, there are several people who make pleasant, lasting impres- sions upon them. We choose to honor three of these people in the 1988 ARENA. These individuals give us warmth, friendliness, a good feel- ing when we are around them. They give us a sense that we are important to them, that they truly care about us. Teacher-Coach-Friend Mr. Erwin Bloxdorf has a special rapport with his students. Patient, understanding, willing to take the extra time it takes to make sure his students understand his lesson, Coach Bloxdorf has exhibited again and again that he belongs in the classroom to lead us in studying government, history, our world. Coach Bloxdorf, ateacherfor 24 years, has been a part of the faculty A here forthe last nine years.

She keeps up with the records on hundreds of students each day and still finds the time to be concerned with the lives of students around her. Mrs. Pat Clemens is more than a registrar, she is a person many students call a friend. Perhaps Miss Allen's words say it best: Mrs Clemens is effecient, accurate, helpful, organized, and pleasant, which is good for the kids. l ' bf: L ,- Q i gif!
