.1 1 ... M,- SUMMIT ' Our philosophy here at the Summit has been that no problem is so big or so complex that it can't be run away from. Well, we're tired of running, so tired that we plan on returning those stolen sneakers to the lost and found. While running, we encountered themes, roaches, now you see them, now you don't color negatives, man-eating fil- ing cabinets, overpriced Sicilian pizza, and temperament- al, stubborn editors. Our first major obstacle was the ever elusive yearbook theme. We thought: What is a theme? Is it bigger than a multiple? Does it exist? After consulting a dreamer, brib- ing an optimist, but finally listening to a pessimist, we hired Pultusker. This only gave us more of an incentive to keep on running, leaving behind any trace of a theme. Who could have known that in Pultusker, we were creating a monster who devoured symmetrical and logical layouts and regurgitated them into bizarre designs and shapes, each more puzzling than the next iAfter all, what did we know? We were new at the jobl, Even more puzzling to us was our filing cabinet which bears a strong resemblance to the Bermuda Triangle fWhere have all the color negatives Susan 84 R honda f 'A 1 s X. M . gone?l. We were tired. Searching for some excitement, we came upon some bathing beauties and a things divider. Unfortunately, United Feature Syndicate and Rabbi Heim- owitz did much to stifle our creativity fDoes Charles Schultz know about this? Get me my lawyerll. But we kept on jogging through the land of picas and points and croppers and stampers and registered gothic KNO, we didn't convert.l. Realizing that some of us live on the other side of the universe, Michael tried to compromise our littIe cook in the darkroom. Repenting for his sins, Mikie decided to help Elliot write the Gemmorah which only added to the severity of his sins. Credit must be given to Art and Paul for their copy and U. of P., John Hopkins, and Lafayette '72. We also had friends who had much to offer: Paul and Philip--their wit, Lewis and Stuie--their skills, Susan--her dart board which mysteriously disappeared in Belle Harbor, Bassie-- her candid opinions, Barbara and Victor--their money, Rhonda--her time, Doug--an abundance of patience and the keys to the darkroom, and Ruthy--her entire house. Then, P left a copy of the morning news on our doorstep with the headline: TRUMAN DROPS SUMMIT ON NAGASAKI. We came to an abrupt halt. Good night Shari. Good night Stevie. sim .f-if T' Elliot
