Staff Rolls to a Stop b With the completion of the 1970 COR- ONAT the yearbook staff releases a sigh of relief. The tears over lost pages, the anguish of deadlines, and many more of the years emotions are now implanted in a year ' s completed production of the 1970 CORONAT. Putting a yearbook out in- volves many more dedicated people than just the annual staff. Excellent photo- graphers are a necessity for a good year- book. Sincere thanks are extended to Mr. Sammy Gold, Mr. Morris Winkle, Mr. Fritz Herr, Mr. Clyde Bone and Miss Joy Wright for pictures they submitted to us. The CALLER TIMES also con- tributed many pictures to us for our spwrts and activities sections. The L niversity of Texas and Michigan State University sup- plied us with pictures of Burt Hooten and Cecil Pryor. Without the use of Knolle Jersey Farms, Corpus Christi Inter- national Airport (permission given by Mr. John Pinson) , Eastern Airlines (permis- sion received from Mr. Terry Smith), and First Savings Association, our pictures would not have been complete. Body copy serves as a way of tying the pictures in a year book together. Wayne Hankins, a senior creative writing stu- dent, submitted some of our opening copy on page 8. We also would like to express gratitude for the copyright on Leaving on a Jet Plane, granted to us by Cherry Lane Music Co. Our yearbook could not have been published without the excellent supervision which was given by our sp)on- sors Miss Chris Davis, Mr. Rodney Davis, and our representative from Anchor Print- ing Company. Mr. O. M. Montgomery. We thank you all for your cooperation and assistance to us this past year in edit- ing the 1970 CORONAT. 1970 CORONAT annual staff ent, (end) Mimi Lewis, (roof) Nancy Castle- berry, Debbie Newby, and Ann Evans.
