The past hangs heavily upon us, and we feel the weight with impatience; and yet how grave is the risk of emptiness in casting oft what is behind us.

This will gratify some people and astonish the rest! 182 Harriett Bennett Now, as awareness of how mu ch life is lost ond how little is left becomes even more piercing, I feel also, and ever the more urgent, the desire to restore, and to make a little less impermanent, such of my lost life as I can; as far forward as need be. This is the simplest, most primitive desires which can move a writer. Unknown Susan Hirt What at os!

We trusted you, even it to make us happy was to serve us chocolate eclairs. Short and sweet! 187 188 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR To begin to tell you all the feelings I have now would take up much more than these next two pages. The time and dedication one must have to produce a yearbook is much more than any of you have ever experienced. I ' m sure of that as the help and encouragement I have received has been little or none. I have my friends who give me the time of day and a pat on the back, but those that really helped were few. The hours I received from Sandy, Woo, Kim, Wendy, Margaret, Pam, Barbara, Beatriz and Gina are greatly appreciated, but most important of all, where were the chief figure heads to assist me in 189 making important editorial decisions?? Being editor of the yearbook, I realize now that my faults were not few, as it takes a great deal of perseverance and leadership which I was weak in. It was hard for me to delegate responsibility, however, it is of great importance for the people within the yearbook staff to take their own initiative and volunteer their services freely. I understand now that in order to produce an effective yearbook it is of utmost importance for the staff, as a whole, to display a sense of responsibility and create a compatible working 190 relationship and maintain this working atmosphere. I apologize for my inconvenience to many, and only hope that this yearbook has reached your expectations. I honestly care for the book and hope the love I feel for the school is reflected in the work presented here. Good Luck to those graduates, thanks to my staff and Enjoy.
