 w- EDITORS’ FOREWORD It takes twelve months of team work to build a yearbook. This effort is quite like a challenging game with inumerable rules, uncertain paths, and a variety of standards and guidelines. All of which are to be met and focused upon - collectively. We the editors of 1987 invite you to move into our gameboard. We invite you to move on with us through the year of 1987. and we ask that you move up to meet our challenge of excellence. So take hold of your pawns, your rooks, your knights, and your queens and let's move out. It’s your move!

There were some notable success: a few victo- ries: the first photos of the infamous sunken Titanic were presented in documentary form by National Geo- graphic; the Americas cup came home: a film about Vietnam.
