There ore many people without whom this book would hove been impossible There ore others without whom it would hove been a heck of a lor easier Although there is o thank you page near rhe bock of this book, from rhe whole staff, we hove several people rhor we would like to thank personally for their otd to us as editors They are Diehard Corrabtoni, our fearless advisor, who staunchly de fended us and our staff from teachers, administrators, students, outsiders, and each other Without him we wouldn’t hove had rhe freedom to moke rhe mistakes we did and to learn from them We 're grateful for oil of rhe rimes he told us we were doing a greatjob, and we would like to apologize for oil of rhe rimes we never told him rhe some Barbara CUnron, for purring up with our pestering and bod jokes, for listening instead of running when we needed a shoulder to cry on, and for being our guidance counselor ond surrogate mother Dr Solenger, who has pur up with a lor from us ond rhe organization, ond who has unerringly renewed our our-of ofere ria food license, a privilege which we only abused frequently Denise Dtoke, who almost singlehandedly typed this ond every other word printed in rhe 1982 ond 1983 yearbooks Susan Garner, who nor only acred as rhe official yearbook conscience, bur also cleaned rhe office, pur rhe epic murals upon its walls, ond gave us money when we needed pizza Catherine Prorr, who did most of Lesley's work this year, argued with us, ond gave us more money for pizza AH of rhe people who did their jobs so well ond so modestly.
