EDITOR’S MESSAGE Since the time when the first creature which became known as man was found on earth, he felt the need to record important events and happenings of his life. Earliest man depicted occurrences in his life by drawing crude pictures on the walls of the caves which he inhabited. As succeeding civilizations and cultures evolved, each developed its own vehicle to record the events of its passage. Pictures came to portray specific words or phrases. Gradually, whole stories were written using these pictures. Man was soon faced with the task of setting up a simpler system which would facilitate the discharge of the pragmatical pursuits of his daily life. His efforts marked the beginning of our alphabet. As progress was made concerning the mechanics of writing, man answered the yearnings of his inner self and set down for himself and future generations the aesthetic values which tempered his everyday life. Since education plays such an important role in the life of each man, it follows that we would want to record this portion of our lives. A school yearbook is one way in which we can accomplish this. In a sense, the yearbook differs little from the pictures drawn by the cavemen. We, also, have tried to show a part of our life story. We have recorded that which is of great interest to us, as students. Inasmuch as the Senior year is the culmination of a student’s high school career, much of the yearbook is devoted to this segment of a student’s life. We have tried to show its serious as well as its humorous side. Sports and other extra-curricular activities account for a large, part of each student's education and are therefore included in our yearbook. We hope that the 1968 edition of the Pirates Log will delight you in a measure equal to the satisfaction we have had in preparing it. Our goal has been to produce a Log which compares favorably with, perhaps even excels, previous editions. Work, the necessary ingredient of all undertakings, could not, in itself, guarantee the successful publication of a yearbook. Financial backing is a must. Although production costs have been rising year after year, we have been able to hold the price of our yearbook at two dollars, thanks to the continued generosity of advertisers who have been with us for years and to the many new friends we have made, especially in Gouverneur and Carthage. Unfortunately, we anticipate that in the near future we may be forced to raise the price modestly, if we are to continue to grow in both size and quality. Allan Bowen, Business Manager
