DEDICATION David A. Tirrcll arrived at Trinity-Pawling twenty-three years ago. Since that time, he has been as much a part of the school as any man could be. He has seen many classes come and go, and has witnessed the many changes that have taken place over the years. Since his arrival, Mr. Tirrell has been deeply involved in school life. For many years, he taught Latin, Spanish, French and German while also devoting much of his time to the school’s hockey program. Even after retiring as coach, Mr. Tirrell stayed on as the team's most avid rooter, and it is rare when he is not found where the team is playing. In recognition of this unprecedented devotion, the hockey rink bears his name. In addition to his involvement with people presently attending the school, Mr. Tirrell coordinates and organizes all alumni activities. For these reasons, and in thanks for his aid and support, the Senior Class wishes to acknowledge Mr. Tirrell’s devotion yet again with the small token of our yearbook dedication.

DEDICATION David G. Erdmann is one of the more recently arrived teachers at Trinity-Pawling, but in his relatively short time here, he has become one of the most respected faculty members in the school. In the academic field, Mr. Erdmann heads the history department. During the recent evaluation, his department was judged one of the strongest in the school, and Mr. Erdmann's ability for organization and teaching was one of the major reasons for this. He has an uncanny ability to bring an element of interest to even the most obscure subject, as demonstrated by the lively discussions he presides over in class. In athletics, Mr. Erdmann works with J.V. hockey, third team football and tennis. This year he coached his hockey club to a fourteen-and-one record and a league title. This was the second time in three years that his coaching ability brought about a fine season for J.V. hockey. But it is not these achievements that distinguish him to the student body so much as his actions in the dorm. Mr. Erdmann and his wife have a unique ability to make a happy dorm life. Many student's attitude toward life at T-P takes a definite positive turn upon being exposed to a year in Mr. Erdmann’s dorm. He is a faculty member who makes a truthful statement of his opinions, and consequently many students turn to him in a period of trouble or stress. In recognition of these qualities, as well as in thanks for his friendship and support, we, the Senior Class, dedicate this yearbook to David G. Erdmann, a brilliant teacher and a true friend.
