Dedication Dan Ephlin entered U of D High in the fall of 1968 as a somewhat typical, joyful, naive freshman. He was well-liked by his Classmates. He did quite well in school, and teachers as well as students were able to share in his exuberance and joy for life. One could easily see him completing his four years at U of D High, moving on, and making people happy in whatever he chose to do. But the agony of a brain tumor slowly removed him from those to whom he was closest, and finally took him away from us altogether in the fall of what would have been his junior year. Dedications have a marked tendency to put peo- ple on a pedestal, almost always undeservedly so. Dan was quite a special person to those who were touched by him. But one tends to remember the de- lightfully normal things about Dan, as opposed to the spectacular: his vain attempts every once and awhile to get angry at someone, only to spoil it all by breaking everyone up with his pseudo-hard guy Boston accent; his extraordinary fear tshared by just about every other freshman Latin studentl of Fr. Tolbert. Dan was there to share his pain with us, to open our eyes to all which we didn,t want to face as happy and sure-footed juniors. And many of us learned, perhaps for the first time, what it really meant to be lonely, and to be alone. We owe whatever feeble thanks we can give a friend who shared all that he had with us. In memo- ry of Dan Ephlin, we dedicate this yearbook, for those who havenit seen, for those whose eyes still remain closed. a Steve Palid Dan Ephlin 1954-1970 n; m - 1 121K. m w: u- ; ..
