The Class of 1983 Yearbook, An Idea Whose Time Has Come FINALLY! Yes, friend, here it is. You are, at last, the proud owner of the Kean College 1983 Yearbook, more popularly known as The Yearbook That Almost Wasn ' t. ' ' For many, this book ' s long overdue arrival may seem a fitting ending to a college career that saw you battle administrative red tape, in-person registration, intolerable traffic and parking conditions, and occasional final exams at 3:05 p.m. on Memorial Day. We could dwell on that sort of stuff, but we won ' t. We could also dwell on thoughts of an alleged yearbook editor who gladly accepted a full one-year tuition credit and never turned in a single page layout to the publisher. But we won ' t get into that, either. Instead, try to understand that this book came within hours — minutes — of never-never land. Through the efforts of a small, brave band of graduates, current students, and some old-fashioned administrative pull, some pictures were recovered, missing prints replaced, and renegade former editors were tracked down and dealt with accordingly. And — FINALLY — here is your book. We hope this book is worthy of your efforts at Kean. Now, at least, we won ' t have to reach into the cobwebs of memory to recall old friends of our college days gone by. We need only reach for the bookshelf. 10 George Falkowski n » (3x1, 1)1 2— Preface
