Inspires and Encourages Students On behalf of the Associated Student Body of Pioneer High School, the members of the 1968 TORCH staff respectfully dedicate this yearbook to a teacher who has been a source of inspiration to all who have been given the opportunity to know him. Berkeley, California is his birthplace, and it is there that he went to school and spent his early years. He majored in business in his first few years of college, but later turned to his favorite subject, history. He received a Masters degree from California State College at Berkeley in 1957. He became proficient in Spanish during a tour of duty in South America where he served as a missionary for the Mormon church. As an active member of the church he enjoys working with various youth groups. He derives much enjoyment from such spectator sports as football and rarely misses our school competitions. An outstanding ping-pong player, he challenges all comers when the occasion arises. In 1959 he and his wife Nadine moved to Whittier with their two children. Since coming to Pioneer in 1960 he has taught U.S. History to thousands of students in such a manner that makes the subject live in their imaginations. His favorite expression, and one which he uses frequently in his classes is, 'LHistory is to a nation what memory is to a manf, He is a man who shows a deep concern for human welfare and his nature reflects an interested regard for others, especially his students. His consistent sense of responsibility and devotion to young people sets an excellent example for his fellow teachers and inspires his students to emulate his precepts. It is with great respect and deep gratitude for all that he has given us that the 1968 TORCH is dedicated to. . . Mr. Delbert Rock history classes. 0 Impromptu discussion and question and answer periods help create an at- mosphere of student interest in U.S. A
