ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We hope that you will enioy this first edition of the THRILL as much as we have benefited from working on it this year. As you already know, we had a very late start and, as it turned out, that was not the only problem we encountered. Our rush schedule made many compromises necessary, and many times even as we were preparing sections for the publisher we found large gaps in our cover- age. I feel, however, that the THRILL is one of many small steps forward which, when added together, will plainly demonstrate that the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport is one of the most progressive schools in the nation. This is a tribute to both the faculty and the student body and our ability to work so closely together. One look at the long list of Endowments, Sponsors, and Patrons will show that we have many friends outside the school as well. For these reasons I am proud to have been a student here rather than anywhere else. l would like to thank first my little wife, Linda, who has been so patient and understanding during my involvement with the yearbook. Day in and day out she has walked around, over, and sometimes even under the plethora of pictures, layouts and letters which have infiltrated our home, trying without complaint to dust and vacuum whatever areas were left exposed. For her love l am especially grate- ful. Mr. Reggie Graves deserves the credit for making this first yearbook a reality. Without his tremen- dous assistance at the business end, the initial enthusiasm would surely have been lost in the fog of specifications, meetings, phone calls, bids and general red tape that accompanies any enterprise of this nature. Doctor George McCormick, our faculty advisor, was an invaluable asset. Consistently concerned, always ready to listen, and never too busy to discuss at length any problem from large to trivial, he was a true friend. David Carpenter, the assistant editor, was the only one of our staff with previous yearbook experi- ence, and to him we owe many short-cuts and much time saved. Kenny Sehon was in charge of advertising and this was certainly a difficult iob. lt would seem that company executives are even harder to catch in their offices than physicians! For all your time Kenny, thanks. Our secretaries, Debby Murray, Suzanne Sentell, and Amy Prather, worked long hours to type and send out the multiple array of letters involved. The THRILL would not have been possible without their patient assistance. Photography was a particularly ominous iob and our photographers deserve an award for putting up with the difficulties which confronted them. Thanks to Mike Freed, Mac Fitzsimmons, Tommy Carey, Barry Rills, Jeff Janies, Jim Richardson, Bill Haley, and Lenny Kancher for making all the great pictures possible. There were also students in each class who helped select shots of instructors, classmates, and events which were representative of their class during that year. Without Bill Haley, Ken Harrison, Russ Keasler, Brant Casford and David Carpenter the annual would surely have been without rhyme or reason. Danny Wood and Cliff Dopson spent a great deal of time on the history and caricatures and for the fantastic results we are certainly appreciative. Lastly, I appreciate all of the unnamed students and instructors who have expressed an interest in the THRILL this year. We trust that no one will be disappointed, as our guiding principle has been that anything less than excellence would be a misrepresentation. anfmwf
