1. Mr. james Lynch attempts to explain logic to his sixth period Honors English class. L nch ends career as Tokay instructor After three decades of teaching, English Department chairman and instructor james Lynch is retiring. I used to say I wasn't going to retire until I dropped dead in the classroom, said Mr. Lynch, who spent 28 years in the district at the old Lodi Union High and Tokay campuses. But now, kids don't respond as they use to. Maybe I'm just burned out, concluded Mr. Lynch. Until 1978, Mr. Lynch commuted twice a week, as he was also a part-time instructor at the University of San Francisco. During his tenure, Mr. Lynch also taught a variety of classes at Tokay, including Spanish. He was a former adviser of the Tokay Press and the Tokay. Looking back on his 30 years of teaching, Mr. Lynch remembers two incidents. As a teacher, Mr. Lynch had 18 of 19 students pass the Advanced,Placement English test for college credits. Three of the group received a five, which was the highest score possible. Another time, a student pushed a stack of 26 textbooks out of a third story window and Mr. Lynch made the student go down to get the books one by one. Although he will not be teaching, Mr. Lynch's life will be kept busy playing golf and working a part-time job at a local cannery ordering and counting cans. I even have a title there, joked Mr. Lynch. I'm superintendent of empty cans! ,-- -ww ...F 'G X X it 5 st. 4,15 Wei taxi john Naranjo Gina Nascimento Wilbert Ng Phong Nguyen Thong Nguyen Mike Noche Chris North Rob North joseph Northcott Michelle Northcraft Debra Novelli jaime Nunez Erin O'Brian Audrey Ogawa Tim O'Haro Nouke Okopedeghe joe Olagaray Steve Olds Kenny Oliver Maria Olmos Mary Orlando Andrea Ortega Chip Ostler Chris Pagala Eddie Palacios Bart Panela Liz Panzarino Rita Patel jane Patterson Helen Paul Mike Paul Steve Pease Donna Pekarek Lisa Pelletier Vince Perez Foreti Pericao Kurt Perkins Anthony Petersen Tim Petersen Brenda Peterson Steve Pettis Liz Phillips Angel Pineda Tom Pinkham Mitch Platt Clifford Powell Bad Powers Carmen Preuss Kevin Price Berni Pritchett Denice Pritchett Mcliinnet Proctor Sarah Proctor Veronica Punla Frank Quijaluo jon Ramirez Chrissy Ramos Diana Ramsy Hadar Raz Steph Reames Mary Redmond Carmen Reiswig Lauri Renhult Sophomores 267
