Whoever said, A picture is worth a thousand words must have worked in publications! Our photographers are: Gregg Whitesell, David Reid, and Kerry Maher. 206 ,♦ c tjfc - .? VA f i Without Them — Nothing! As the year comes to an end, we have time for reflection on the events that have made us what we are. To those who are leaving, this year will always be special, because it is the last. To those remaining, it may be only one in a series. Yet, each year has its own special qualities, and we have tried to capture most of them for you in this book. We can only hope that our year and your year somehow coincide. 1976 Nocatula Staff: Janey Wilburn Morris, Editor Carol Scheppman, Asst.
