EDITOR’S FAREWELL 4 239

It is with great pleasure that I dedicate this volume of the Sequoyah to the student body. There are so many people that I should thank, but I can't name them all in this space. There are. however, some whom I must mention. Mr. Stan Ballenger of Bryn-Alan Studio never failed to help when I started to scream. Marianne Miles and Garry Nesbit were always willing to help complete any unfinished work; and, in general, they worked well beyond the call of duty. Mrs. Amari, though unable to help as much as in past years because of a heavy class load, was still there to provide her much-wanted and needed advice. Mr. Hayes is the recipient of my greatest thanks. I found him to be a very understanding and enjoyable person with whom to work. I simply cannot find words to express my deep gratitude and ■ regard for him. To the general staff members, real thanks must be extended, for they are the people who put the book together hour by hour, day by day, page by page. To several others I must extend my personal thanks: Marsha Flisnick, whose laughter and concern helped to keep me going at the worst of times; Terri Mehlhorn, whose advice, help and interest pulled me from many a dilemma; my teachers who understood the necessity for being out of class to deal with those problems; and my friends who remained my friends even when I was in a continually nasty mood! I hope this book is well received. A lot of hard work, time and money went into its making. May it always remind you of the many happy times you had at HVJ.
