 30 Traditionally, yearbook editors officially interject themselves in only a few places in the annual. I hereby interject myself. At the time of this writing, the yearbook is about to be shipped to the printer. My staff is tired, lam tired, and everyone who knows me is tired of me being tired. Room 101 has of late become a haven for psychotics, paranoids and people who are just plain bananas. I wouldn't, however, want it to be different. Responsibility for the production of this 208 page monstrosity has rested on the students. Mr. Crutch- field has proven to be a member of that rare species of advisors (HANDS OFFUM) that advises but doesn't order. The great majority of the decisions made were made by the students. In particular, me. This type of authority has given me the wonderful opportunity to lose sleep, develop gray hair, and to have my character assasinated by people who didn't like the decisions. Now that the book is through, and I am finishing my fourth Coke for the day, 1 feel a deep sense of gratitude to several people. James Kersey stepped into the chief photographer's job after it was va- cated by another James, who shall remain nameless. Linda Brune was responsible for the ad section and the bookkeeping . Gina Hatfield, Larolin Dillie, Kathleen O'Nale, Linda Garrison, etc. ad nauseum suffered through writing assign- ments that were usually vague and always difficult. Sandy Rennard and Valerie Creston produced many of the cutlines (please, no ob- scene phone calls). Donita Hanson, Sharon Moore, Kathleen O'Nale, and countless others slaved over typewriters for beaucoup many hours. Finally I must thank the ones who I haven't thanked already by name. Anyone in that catego- ry is hereby entitled to fifteen minutes of lavish praise by me at

a time and place of their choosing. I've edited three annuals at this school and have served as a lowly peon on one. In this position I have had intimate contact with scores of teachers and students. I've grown up a lot and I have found out that there are a whole heck of a lot of people in this school who deserve more credit than they get. In my opinion, this school has some of the finest people in the world in- side it's walls, and I'm glad that I've had a chance to get to know them. J.G.M. 207
