1952 IIIIEIHTIIS Hectic moments live and die with time, but fortunately are recalled with joyous remembrance. Had the work on the yearbook gone .with mechanical efficiency, local ,business fought for ad space, all the articles written when axigned, pictures taken and printed with professional delicacy, layouts and a.rt work made with final strokes of creative genius, and had they all been received with the stamp of a romantic sigh, how dull it would have been. You are now tuming the pages of the yearbook, the pictures relive and the words re-drew a part of Oakwood that has passed, but for the staff of the yearbook there is something else beyond the printed page: the work, the problems, the frantic requests, the spark of ideas, the joy of doing, and then finally the finished product. We few, we happy few, with the cooperation of many others and the support of the intangibles of Oakwood, were able to take part in the creative and mechanical process of making the Quercus. Imperfections and improvabilities are realized -- the book stands on its ovsm -- but we hope, in its own way, it does justice to the year that has passed at Oakwood. And our final thanks to the editors and those staff members who devoted so much time, effort and interest for a worthy end. 6
