Joseph Case High School • Swansea, Massachusetts
It’s Important To Have
Teachers Like Mr. Mulligan
We the Joseph Case High School senior class of
1991, proudly dedicate our class yearbook to
Mr. Craig Mulligan. Mr. Mulligan is one of the
most energetic and involved teachers in our
school system. He was always there for the
student. Never once has he ever refused to
give up his own free time to help a student.
Before we were born Mr. Mulligan had graduat¬
ed from Georgetown University after serving
in the United States Navy. He started teaching
the sons and daughters of Swansea in 1959. His
interest in sports led to a position of assistant
football coach, as well as annual pilgrimages to
Major League Baseball parks across the United
States, participation in triathalons, and the
Boston Marathon.
Mr. Mulligan’s entertaining stories, jokes, and
little witticisms have always made his math
class worth staying awake for. Not only did we
have fun laughing in his class, most of all we
learned. We learned a lot, from Basic Geometry
to Calculus. He has an uncanny knack for bring¬
ing the most difficult concepts down to a level
the students can easily understand. He always
kept our attention—one way or another,
"O.K. troops! Any questions, raise your left
paw. Son!
That’s 20 minutes at the end of day, not my
end of day but your end of day. Holy Bullfrogs!”
What a teacher!
Mr. Mulligan always made an effort to support
all school functions. Many a ball game and Craig Mulligan
many a pancake breakfast has he gone to. Mr.
Mulligan is more than just a teacher; he’s a
friend, who’s willing to help in any way he can.
He has both the class of I99l’s and the faculty’s
endorsement of a man of integrity, a man to
trust.
It’s important to have teachers like Mr. Mulli¬
gan. Some one who cares that much and gives
that much time, has a lasting effect on a stu¬
dent, an effect that stays with him or her for a
lifetime. It’s that type of teacher that gives a
student a background, a strong background.
It’s that type of teacher that will make sure
that the future generations of this country will
live up to their full potential. Thanks for every¬
thing Mr. Mulligan.
