To The Students: As editors of the DIAL, we are taking an opportunity to announce the 50th anniversary of the yearbook and to explain some of the problems and changes that took place this year. First of all - it's I 973 and what better time for the anniversary of Carbondale Community High School's yearbook - the Dial! Except for a one year break during the war, the DIAL has been faithfully produced for fifty years. Having been involved in the production makes us pretty impressed with that record! The '73 DIAL has a few outstanding features worth mentioning here. The cartoon drawings introducing the four class sections were choosen not only to characterize individually the classes but to recall images from days gone by. Throughout this DIAL reprint of pictures from past DIALS were used to contrast I973 with previous years. The function of a yearbook is to capture the essence ofa school year. In this DIAL we have tried to show the life of CCHS in I 973 by using glimpses of the past as a backdrop. One notable change this year, is the discontinuation of the DIAL dedication. As editors we felt that the dedication had outlived its function as an integral part of the yearbook. There are MANY faculty members who are deserving of recognition for their outstanding achievements in and out of the classroom. The DIAL has recognized only one teacher a year, the teacher being chosen only by a maiority vote of the DIAL editorial and business staffs. For these reasons, we choose to discard the traditional dedication and to simply commend all past and present faculty mem- bers of CCHS. Many factors contributed to the tardiness of the i973 DIAL. It must be pointed out that the advisorship of the DIAL changed hands and the decision of who was to be the advisor was made late in the fall, when the yearbook should have been well underway. Another problem arose with the professional photographer. It is essential that a yearbook receive its photographs on time in order to meet company deadlines. It will suffice to say this did not take place. Very little co-operation and help was given to the editors by the members of the DIAL editorial staff. The staff was unusually small, ineffective, and apathetic, leaving the maiority of the book to be constructed by the editors. However, our thanks and appreciation to the few staff members who did their share and are recognized in the staff listing on the DIAL page in the Organization section of the book! We hope the student body can enioy the I 973 DIAL and perhaps actively support and appreciate the effort put into the DIAL in future years. Sincerely, Wendy Freitag and Linda Stocks, Co-Editors
