Dedication On behalf of the entire student body at Pioneer, the Annual Staff takes great pride in dedicating the 1979 TORCH to a man whose care talies him far beyond his assigned duties. Born and raised on a farm in Kentuclcy, he went on to attend the University of Ken- tucky, where he majored in English. After graduation, he remained in his home state to teach, but later went West , and even- tually found himself teaching in California — in the El Rancho Unified School Dis- trict. Soon after, however, he heard Pio- neer calling, and has since then been our school librarian. And what a wonderful person he is! He never misses work, yet he still has time to fully enjoy life. He and his wife Betty share their home with their beautiful Schnauzer, Greta, and five cats, though he is always willing to take in a needy stray. He has a great interest in sports and has ushered several USC football games. Also, he is crazy about crossword puzzles, especially those from the New York Times, and his home-grown roses are said to be simply exquisite For being our devoted librarian, and well, for just sharing his humor and bril- liance, the 1979 TORCH is dedicated to our friend . . .
