The Last Word At this moment, I feel like some adults when they listen to Elvis Presley-All Shook U pf Our yearbook adviser is still muttering to himself and shaking his head while the staff just sits mute and numb. In short, the occupants of the journalism room are in shock because the work on the yearbook is over. But wait, as usual I've done everything backwards for this book had to have a beginning. V The beginning came in the Spring of 1957, when the Foreign Student Exchange Program was originated. Since the class of '58 initiated this program, the theme of Friendship was chosen for the class yearbook. The stafif was picked, clubs were ap- proached about space in the book and by the end of May, all layouts were drawn. Already veiled threats began to filter through about 'fthat slave driver who calls herself an editorf' With the dawn of the new school year, pandemoniurn reigned. Pictures were taken over and over and over and over and Over and Over and OVer and OVEr and OVER -ad nauseum. Potential advertisers were contacted by the staff and the editor dubbed 'cLittle Caesar. Two days after the first deadline, while we were smugly congratulating ourselves for the wonderful copy we had sent in-the bubble burst. Two men entered looking most official and with dignified countenances. Most of the staff thought that these two men were doctors come to lead the editor quietly away but they weren't. These men had arrived complete with black briefcases to inform us that we were missing pictures. So for the rest of the Hrst semester, the stafi' developed picture complexes- always searching for the one picture that wasn't there. By the end of the first semester the yearbook was mostly completed, pictures were still missing and potential advertisers still being contacted. But finally came that fateful day-The Ides of February in this case. The yearbook was completed. With a sigh of relief, we thought we were finished. But not us. We began to worry about what you readers would think of this book. The ending? That is something you will have to write. The staff can only thank everyone who contributed in any way to make this book possible and can only hope that this-the final productfcan commensurate with the effort put forth. It is my earnest wish that this book will be enjoyed by those who read it. But please give me a break. If the names aren't spelled correctly, don't tell me. I want to have time to relax and do something other than write copy. And most of all P-L-E-A-S-E -donft show me any pictures! Sincerely, Elayne Gilbert Editor-in-chief 292
