From the Editor: With the completion of these last few pages, the 1986 Thistle will finally be finished. Nearly a year of hard work has gone into its production, and we hope it shows. This year's issue is a special one; it marks our eightieth annual as well as the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of Andrew Carnegie's birth. Since most students have little idea of what college life was like back then , we have chosen to reproduce some interesting photographs from earlier Thistle yearbooks. When I accepted the position as Editor-in-Chief, I was not aware of the enormous effort it takes to produce a quality yearbook. To improve the quality of this book, we departed from the photo album style of the previous yearbooks by including captions for all of the photos in the book. As a general rule, the photo captions on each page correspond to the photos in order from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Captions turned out to be a major undertaking, but if they help you to remember your years here at Carnegie Mellon, then our efforts will have been well worth it. Additionally, we've attempted to follow current yearbook styles in layout and graphics while maintaining our high standards of yearbook photography. This year's book was made by a mere handful of dedicated staff members. I'd especially like to thank Ben Krokosky for his immense help and enthusiasm throughout the production, Natalie Capone and Sara Rad for their expertise in layout, and Steve King for his all around assistance in addition to the After Class section. Great thanks are also due to the Division Editors, Section Editors and staff members, all of whom are too numerous to list here. Our publisher's representative, John Lopushansky of Inter Collegiate Press, deserves much thanks as well as Paul Bilgore and the folks at Strem-Varden Studios. Dean Cox's advice was truly appreciated as was Mrs. Rudman's assistance. I also wish to give my heartfelt thanks to my family and friends for the support they gave me throughout the year. To recall the life and spirit of your years at Carnegie Mellon has been the sincere purpose of the Editors of this book. If we have failed in our objective, we have no apologies to make, but let me assure you that we have done our best. So, take your Thistle, find a comfortable chair, sit back, relax and remember. Editor-in-Chief, 1986 Thistle. 17 P.S. Congratulations and good luck to the Class of 1986!

 Beta Sigma Rho booth adds to the carnival scene. (19-18) Sue Webb and Chipper Albers have been together since Freshman camp. A stroll down the Cut towards home after the day's classes can be one of the most relaxing feelings around. The improved food at More pizza has drawn many students in as a study break. 16
