280 BLINN COLLEGE BRENHAM. TEXAS 77833 Dear Students, Here it is at last! The 1979 BUCCANEER! I hope that looking through these pages of photographs will bring back many memories of friends and experiences, good times and bad, and all the events needed to make this phase of life one of your best. A time that you will always remember and cherish as you grow older. As we go on to other colleges, work, or marriage, we will always be able to look back at this book and realize that we were a part of that system which made up Blinn. This system which includes Dr. W. O. Dietrich to whom I am very grateful. His help and support has brought about the quality yearbook we now have. I hope you enjoy this yearbook and as you look through think of the yearbook staff who helped to finish this book. I hope you go on and show the world what a Blinn student can really do. May God bless you all. Sincerely yours, adm Jeni Wendy Sgrek Co-Editor of l979 BUCCANEER In joining Wendy, I would like to present the l9T9 BUCCANEER. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. W. O. Dietrich for his guidance and kindness to all the staff. I would also like to express a UBIG THANKSH to everyone that worked on the staff. If it is true that Ha picture paints a thousand wordsu, then our yearbook would fill up an entire library of cherished memories. We all, someday, will look back through the l9T9 BUCCANEER and realize that Blinn Junior College was indeed a place of great importance to us. We not only found friends there but hopefully we found ourselves and what our life professions should be. It is nice to know that there were people so faithfully committed, as the Blinn College faculty, who started us off into a life's career. The entire staff and I would like to wish you the very best of everything for the present and future. May God keep you safe always. Sincerely yours, Connie Parker Co-Editor of 1979 BUCCANEER
