0I 8LU0l It is the custom to have a foreword, and so, of course, we must have one. It seems superfluous, adding nothing to the honor of anyone, and only unprofitably detaining those who are anxious to get on to more important things, but it is the custom. Yet it is good for more than that. Though indeed it does not increase their honor, it enables us to express our gratitude and appreciation to many for a great number of things. The task of telling our sentiment to the Faculty is more than we can put in a mere Thank you, or in many pages of them. It is the affection that we have for those who took us, a pretty raw set of youths, and made us as much of men as we are. In the knowledge that we realize, somewhat, the things they have done for us, they will read our gratitude. We wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Pedrick for the guidance and assistance he has given us in putting out this annual, as well as the pep talks he gave us at frequent intervals throughout the year when we needed them most. And Mr. Fenton, our senior class advisor, also deserves our appreciation. I personally would like to take this opportunity to thank those mem- bers of the staff who have helped me most in working on this book, and to whom the lion's share of the creuit belongs. This includes Bill Phillips, for writing most of the copy, Duncan MacQueen and Jim Weaver, for keeping us out of the red financially, John O'Dowd, for his able assistance as fellow-collaborator, Bob Watts and Bill O'Rourke fthough not a member of the staffl, for their work in photography, and Pete Schmauss and Roger Davenport, for their contribution of the Daily Grind. As art editor, Pete also executed the drawings displayed on the divider pages and elsewhere throughout the book, where he has brought to life a little known and often forgotten figure who represents life at Stony Brook, the school bear. l hope he will appeal to your aesthetic taste, and that you will enjoy looking back with him at a year at Stony Brook. Finally we want to extend our thanks to the advertisers, without whom it would have been impossible to produce this book. That is all. Pass on. If the book gives you as much pleasure to read as it gave us to write, we will be repaid, and if in the far future it helps keep alive the love and memory of Stony Brook, its mission will have been accomplished. -THE EDITOR
