You showed your pioneering spirit when you decided to put out a different yearbook. This included pictures on both sides of the sheet and more unusual action photographs. When you decided upon this pioneering, little did you dream that during the planning of and execution of the plans for this yearbook that you would have three different sponsors without much opportunity of careful continuous liason between the three. But you have shown determination and ability, as well as much ingenuity, in carrying your original plans to a successful conclusion. As the yean go by you will forget the petty bickerings which always attend group effort. Instead your memories will be embellished with the realizations ofa class project carefully planned and well executed.
