Harrlerte Hardin Editor In chief Editor's Epitaph Thejob is done, the book has gone to press, but the fun and friendship shall linger forever? As I sit by my typewriter, I find myself lost for words. It is hard for 'a person to express himself about a job that he has done. It is sort of tak- ing a full time job, enjoying it immensely, and then leaving it. I have more than enjoyed my editorship of the 1969 Oval. A year of continuous at- tempts for perfection is now over, and I can recall the hours and days of work as only a memory. Capturing significant emotions and experiences has presented itself to be one of the greatest challenges that I have thus encountered, and the success of this trial lies in the readers' opinion of these 212 pages. In the book we created, we tried to capture the essence of the student's life at Fisk University. If we succeeded each individual student, whether he is a secluded scholar or a person well known to the campus popula- tion, will find himself represented somewhere within these pages. The vitality which the Oval Staff began its tasks gradually dwindled as deadlines approached and grades dropped. Yet we steadily sensed the immense responsibility reflecting the composite ofthe Fisk University Oval My utmost thanks to Walter Evans, the yearbook representative, for his long hours of work. For enduring our mistakes, providing the answers to our many problems, giving advice and stimulating morale. - I would like to thank the entire staff for their earnest co-operation and endurance. I would also like to thank my friends who willingly overlooked my often distressed and brusque moods.
