As we -g celebrate Tower ' s 75th anniversai7 and Northwest ' s history, weretleelonthepast o and look forward to °- thc future. We are moving Tower into the future by including an interaetive CD with the yearbook. Continuing the tradition of Tower, we are introducing you to the yearbook ' s future in the contemporary world of multimedia. The CD is a cotnbination of audio and isual media allowing us to capture and represent Northwest in a unique way. By appealing to both the eyes and ears, the CD lets you be readers, viewers and listeners. On the CD, you will ha e the ability to see video clips and still photographs of the events featured. Even if you do not have access lo a computer, you can insert the CD into any standard compact disc player and hear the big events of the year. With the addition of a CD lo the traditional yearbook, it was a challenge to devise a theme thai accurately captured the year. We finally selected Contemporary Traditions as our theme because it best blended the ideas of new technology with the traditional scrapbook of memories. ■• lso, vve e changed the format of the book. In the past, we have had more word-oriented themes like the 1995 book, When you least expect It. and I994 s ■ ' .Something Else Altogether. Instead, for this book, we decided to go with a concept theme. This theme allowed us lo organize the traditional sections differently by dividing the yearbook into two sections: Contemporary and Tradition. Kor the 1996 editorial board, it has been a thrilling year and we are excited to present you with this product. We hope you appreciate it as much as we enjoyed producing it. Contemporary Traditions
