al 256 Student Life For four years now I've been writing an editor's note for a Boll Weevil yearbook but | haven’t written one quite this far into the summer. For three years | actually believed that someone read what | painfully wrote. If you are reading this one — thanks. If you're not ... If | were being mannerly | would at this time apologize for | the lateness of the book. But I’m not- | know a lot of work has been put into this 256 pages and by a very few (2 or 3) people. | assume that if more students had been concerned the delivery date would’ve been sooner. So no ‘I’m sorry’s’ or ‘please forgive me’s’ and certainly no ‘it'll be earlier next year’s’, because without a little support from you it won't. However I’m not all bitter — | do have some thank you's to make. Nickie McKeown Owens comes first because she stuck it out up here the longest (until Saturday, July 20th at 6:00 to be exact, at which time she had to go home and make supper for her understanding husband.) Steve Gough also deserves a hand (although sometimes he got a foot). Thanks Steven for all the help and then for all the support. Good luck next year. Now | have a couple of people who weren't even tied in with Student Publications who helped me more than you can imagine. Martha Hawkins of ALumni Affairs always seemed to be more than happy (ecstatic is the word) to help. Jim Edson allowed two of us rookies into his darkroom to print the color pictures in this book. | also want to thank my sister, Joye Divine, who designed the division pages, Jim Brewer who let us use many of his pictures and helped out with copy. The Advance Monticellonian came to our rescue in too many tight spots to be mentioned. Without Rosalee Oster- bur and Paul Sudlow of Sudiow Photography, there wouldn't be a class picture section. Kevin Brown came through when | least expected him to. Little short of all the copy in the book, excepting Rick Owens’ athletics, is due to his diligence. Kevin, come around at 3:00 and I'll thank you. I’m close to the end now, it is 9:33 on a Friday night and the only one left:up here on 2nd floor Sorrells is Teri Olive, my advisor. No words are sufficient for what | feel | need to say to her. Thanks is as close as | can get so, Thanks Teri. My last thank you goes to Becky Flemister who is new in the yearbook trade. She is our secretary and has done an unbelieveably good job this year. All good things must come to an end, or so they say. This is really the end for me as a yearbook editor at UAM. Thanks: for the opportunity and, as always, | hope you enjoy it. Kellye Divine - Editor
