Hi ' to the class of 1977: i am deeply moved in learning of your decision to dedicate your yearbook to me. i consider it a great honor, and i sincerely thank you. during our years together here at d.v. c. we have had the opportunity to learn together, to partici- pate in athletics and in other college and related activities together, to socialize together, and to share many thoughts and ideas together, my hope is that for the many of you in the class of 1977 with whom i have been involved, the experience has been as stimulating and as rewarding for you as it has been for me. although the above comments could almost suffice, i feel that the dedication honor gives me some license to philosophize a bit. my wishes for your success and happiness upon graduation go without saying, of these two, success is usually more easily achieved than happiness, happiness is related to your being satisfied with yourseK, not by letting society mold you into a carbon copy of itself, happi- ness through self-satisfaction can be best achieved by knowing that you have done your best in all you do, to accomplish this, you should dev elope all of your abilities to their fullest and then utilize them not only for your own benefit but also for the benefit of your fellow man. again with many thanks and best wishes to you in the future, i am, sincerely yours. robert berthold jr. associate professor, biology cross country coach
