This has been an interesting year at Cactus and it has been a thrill helping capture the years' events for you. I would like to thank the staff for all the time they have put into it, especially those who put in .Xextra hours. I would like to thank Mr. Yel- lin for putting up with the inconve- nience we have put him through, and the photo staff for all the help they have been. I would like to thank Mr. Combs, Julie Ramsey, ' and Guy Gruhlke for allowing us'to use their photographs. I would like to thank the teachers of staffers who excused them from class to work on the book and espe- cially our advisor, Miss Osuna. There were many hard times for us, and she stayed in there, put up with our ignorance on yearbook terminol- ogy and still managed to remain sane, somehow. - Most of all, though I would like to thank you, the students at Cactus for it is you who make up the book and I hope you will enjoy it as much as l did putting it together.
