George Washington University - Cherry Tree Yearbook (Washington, DC)

Page 9 text:

Editor’s Note Assembling an entire University yearbook in a matter of a few weeks is an enormous undertaking for anyone, regardless of one’s publishing experience or knowledge of journalism. When the Cherry Tree’s present editorial staff took over in the last weeks of Spring semester 1973, sales were at 60, senior pictures at 20, advertising at $0, and support from the community at an all time low. In this short period, it has been our goal to put together a GW annual of original photography, writing and art, which anyone who had been at GW the past year could appreciate. Moreover, while attempting to do this, we have committed ourselves to staying within the budget approved by President Elliott. By early May, our sales were over 350, senior pictures over 250, advertising over $700, and support from the community more widespread than it has been in over two years. The 1973 Cherry Tree owes its existence to the commitments of several individuals. Robin Sherman, managing editor, has tirelessly devoted himself to this difficult task, as has Photography Editor Dick Tabor. Without these two, there could have been no book. Also to be thanked are Professors Phil Robbins and George Henigan for their support, Irene Cavanagh for acting as business manager, the Hatchet and Hatchet Shop for their generosity, Delma Studios for their last minute help, and our publisher’s representative, Coy Harris, for his patience, understanding, and invaluable assistance. It is difficult to understand how such a situation could have developed to the point where it seemed doubtful there would be a 1973 Cherry Tree. The conditions were a direct result of two things: the past method of the editor-in-chief selecting his or her own successor, and the six-month late publication of the 1972 book which gave an incredibly distorted view of GW life. From Lloyd Elliott on down, a substantial number agree a yearbook or annual can be an important contribution to the GW community. If it accurately and honestly reflects life at GW with all its good and bad points, if it does not actively seek to alienate one or several groups within the community, and if responsible people dedicate themselves to publishing with little or no expense to the University, the support is there to make a yearbook feasible and accepted. It is our hope the 1973 Cherry Tree will pave the way for a new tradition of yearbooks at GW. Dick Tabor Carol Goss
