With Warmth Dimension has been emphasized in the theme which takes readers through the pages of this book, And dimension has been experienced by the lABACf staff within itself. Compiling an acceptable yearbook was our overall purpose, but working on the stan has been more meaningful than merely putting a book together.

We have tried to incorporate personality A a feeling of warmth in enthusiasm, purpose, and friendship - through a pictorial record ot ABACQ 'I969.. A purpose that we accomplished unknowingly was moving toward maturity by accepting and fulfilling this responsibility. Lasting friendships began as we labored long and hard. Stall members and advisor worked diligently, faithfully, devotedly. lhrough all ot lllis, we got to know each other in a special sort of way M closer than a crowd. lt was a group in which each of us became a vital part, Enthusiasm was constantly in our midst. There were problems, frustration, but never lasting disappointments. A wild joy exerted itself when pages section by section - were completed, meeting a demanding deadline schedule. The TABAC Beauty Revue was a delightful experience within itself. Willing staff members endeavored to produce a memorable occasion tor participants and those who viewed the Miss llomecoining selection. Here, l'd like to thank a dependable staff for their friendship, enthusiasm, and willingness to work toward our purpose. One wouldn't believe that we actually had problems in finding enough work for everybody all the time. Sometimes we ran into difficulties, but a certain type of understanding prevailed . . . making everything alright, An extra special thanks goes to fABAC advisor Mrs. Helen Strickland, who, thank goodness, did get her fingers in the pie. She brought zeal and excitement with her to our very first staff meeting and spread it throughout the staff from then until the final deadline. thanks, Mrs. S. for helping me back into this wonderful world of yearbooks, Your kindness, wit, unbelievable good sense of humor, and understanding were most significant in keeping a staff together and thus producing this yearbook. Grateful acknowledgement goes to our sister publication, lhe Stallion, tor lending and sharing with us . . . pictures, scissors, ideas, advisor . . . friendship! We've attempted to personalize this edition of the IABAC' by portraying the warmth of ABAC as we see it - perhaps making it more meaningful for each of you. Abraham Baldwin College has personality.
