CONCLUSION Those of you that are fortunate enough to have obtamed a copy of the 51 Carmellan wlll IUIIIICCIISICIN recognlze the wisdom of thx Concluslon I feel there fore that no CXPIHHHIIOII IQ necessary True a few preoccupled ZlI1C3I'Ifl3Xld under classmen may rush back to thelr home rooms thmkmg lt IS the latest IQSUC of the ulll or at least the june 1ssue of Play boy No matter These students bemg too low brow to recene the tremendou benefit from such a publlcatlon wlll lab suffer an mtense ffllgfalfle headache four pages ln and tbl flung the book out the wmdow So that takes care of them Thls leaves a number of student who because of their superlor lntelllgence wlll tal see mstantly the brllllant satlre that ls contained wlthm these covers tbl cur e themselyes soundly for haung been ln the Girls Room or Boys Room when the Carmellan was handed out and lcl howl all the way through By the tlme they wlll have reached thls COHCIUQIOD thelr mmds wlll hate been condltloned to accept such thlngs wlthout questlon They wlll have become one of us And we dont need any explanatlon of a concluslon do we? So the sooner you get It through your kaduglsteen that there won t be any explanatlon the better and that s fmale now' CIIPCSI Carmellan IS Satlre I happen to llke thls theme very much Whv9 Because the end result made me laugh and I am rather fond of laughlng Fortunately many people love to laugh at the same thlngs I do that IS to say we are all completely lnsane So to counteract thls we try to polnt out some of the absurdltles of mankmd through the med1um of satlre In a world where thmgs get a shade r1d1culous at tlmes satlre IS a very lmportant thlng to mental health It lets a llttle of the alr out of people and thmgs who take themselves too serlously and deserve to be brought back down to earth It also brmgs everyone a good healthy laugh 1nto the bafgam The 57 Carmellan IS an example of pure and honest sat1re mlxed ln Wlth the tradltlonal plctorxal hlstory of the past year whlch for many of us IS the last year at Carmel Hrgh Edlted brllhantly by Helen Chrlstensen and drawn hysterlcally by Bob Pearlman Lucy Bly and Llz Woodward the combmed efforts of the entlre yearbook staff cannot be pralsed hlghly enough And even then wlth all the work put lnto lt the Carmellan would never have been posslble wlthout the superb handllng and supervlslon of our yearbook advlsor Mr Colcord We salute you In closlng let us remember that someone once sald Laughter IS the best fI'1CdlClIlC It IS a true fact that a frlend of mme had an acquamtance who fell into poor health and proceeded to declme a llttle each day untll the doctors could do nothlng for hlm Lpon bemg told that the patlent was beyond medlcal help my friend called one day at hls bedside and on a hunch told hun-a very funny joke he had just heard regard mg three wlld anlmals and a man who played the YlOl1l'l ' As he reached the punch lme the pale man opened hls eyes and laughed for the flrst tlme m months Color returned to h1S face and would you bellese lt? wlthm forty elght hours he was dead The laughter had overtaxed hlm Thls shows how much the guy knew who sald laughter IS the best medlclne Ha It seems pomtless to go on because I thmk I have covered the subject adequately and also because we are runnlng out of paper Those wlshlng to read the end of thls concluslon will fmd lt twxth a fme magmfymg glass! on the edge of thls page ln Sanskrlt The body of my message has been put across by now anyhow, whlch IS simply that the yearbook 15 my favorlte pastlme lNext to glrlsl and I hope you have enjoyed the '57 Carmehan as much as I dxd I bolled mme for dmner 'This joke IS available on request H 77 n.
