ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to thank the 1976 Retrospect staff, especially those who came in after graduation to help us complete the book. We would also like to thank Jim Arthur, Charles Adams, and the employees at the Josten ' s American Yearbook Company who deciphered our scribblings. Our thanks also goes to Mrs. Sallach who provided refreshment for the weary workers during our last working days. A special thank you is devoted to Mrs. Rose for her time and encouragement.
