Diligent Workers Produce .. Well, what can we say about ourselves? We put together the book you’re reading now and we think it’s great. We worked very hard (most of the time), met the deadlines (most of the time), and got along pretty well (most of the time). Under the able leadership of Editor Sally Thurin, Assistant Editor Margaret Lund, and Advisor Andrew Ostazeski, the .. staff (which numbered 43) made a lot of changes this year, hopefully for the better. For a start, last year’s book was critiqued by experts, and flaws pointed out so that changes could be made. There are sixteen more pages in this book than last year’s, more copy, more candids, a better quality cover, and a drastically reduced faculty section (a frequent suggestion by students), plus many other improvements.

Gifted And Black Black History is more than a story, more than the capture of our black ancestors off the African coast, more than the selling of our bodies like slabs of meat and the beatings and separation of our families. Black History is more than the right to stand next to the white man and the junkies and the whores and their dream to one day be ahead of him. It’s more than being poor and hungry, either hung over or strung out. having to sleep with all seven of your sisters or hiding in the corner when the landlord comes to collect the rent from Ma. Black History is us-how we got to be so beautiful, our ways of having rhythm and bringing forth some of the most inspirational music in the world, the talent of some of our best athletes, and the wisdom of some of our most educated scholars. Black History is us-the coffee-brown colors, glistening with sweat and flavors in the summertime with astonishing joy, the togetherness upon the porch stoop-happy children dancing and hollering-getting high. Black History is us-the harmony of boys on the corner messing around, the court lawyer, and the NBA basketball player. We are black and we are here.

Well, You’re Looking At It. Our diligent workers spent weekends and vacations with 3-R's, layouts, and copy keys, and our hardworking photographers travelled to games, meets, and all over the school in search of great art. (What do you think people were snapping your picture for. Vogue magazine?) So anyway we’d like to sum up our feelings in a little poem: We worked very hard, And did the best we could. So We don’t want to hear about ’em Sorry it doesn’t rhyme, but this job sort of drains the creative juices out of you. Photo number one: Joey Dawis. Photo number two: Sally Thurin, Paula Erickson.
