With Ibis issue of Ihc Conning Tower yearbook of Plymouth State College, wc of the staff wish to provide for you the students, and our audience in general, an accurate record of the school year that was 1982-1983. Our aim was to be fair, truthful and comprehensive. I believe we have achieved the goal. After your take a quick glance through, after you have located the photos of you and your friends, take a few minutes to take a deep look. Take a few minutes to read this book. There arc 184 pages in this book. When we set out to begin work on the 1983 Conning Tower, wc had 184 blank pages. That is a pretty scarcy thing. Our first obstacle to overcome was to create a new book for you. The 1982 Conning Tower was a huge success, yet wc had to be careful not to make a carbon copy of it with only the names and dates changed. This book has the same idea as the '82. to show your school as it is. as you see it. and also in ways you may not have seen it before, yet the '83 docs this without falling prey to riding on the coat-tails of a past success. I mentioned reading this book, and I'm talking about the writing. Who among us cannot remember the experience of being a freshman. (page 62) or that of being an elementary school student? (page 68) These two stories included in the 1983 Conning Tower arc one person's view, yet arc settings and situations I believe most of us can relate to. Donna Byrne's commentary of plays performed at Silver Mall revive our memories of the triumphs enjoyed there as docs John Garner's round-up on Plymouth State sports. This is our second year using John's lively writing, and I believe the book has never had such a readable, thorough sports section. Aside from the copy, there is the layout. Wc have tried to bring you information in an exciting way. and subtle as it may be. our layout is one of the ways wc do this. As you flip through the Conning Tower, you will notice a modern, up-to-date magazine approach to laying out yearbook pages. Perhaps you would like to compare it to your high school yearbook or an old issue of The Conning Tower. Our layouts help create the sophisticated look a school like Plymouth State deserves to be shown in. Finally there arc the pictures. Large, clean, clear photos arc the forte of this book. Our photographers have done an outstanding job of bringing you 1982-1983 in great photos. This book remembers 1982-1983 as wc saw it. I hope it's how you saw it too. And should you take it off the shelf in 20 years, brush off the dust, leaf through it and find it dated, well, that’s the intention behind it. The look of the Conning Tower is very 1983. the feel is very 1983. in short the book is very 1983. Ketin Danic Editor CONNING TOWER STAFF Advisor ................
