A final note . . j Melange a mixture of incom- jgruous elements. These words per- jfectly describe the Thunderbird lstaff and this past year itself. We started out fresh with new typewrit- ers, a new staff organization, and hopes to publish the best yearbook ever. Along the way, however, a number of people contributed to the common goal and deserve spe- cial thanks. First of all, I owe a great deal to last year's editor, Nancy Minster. Her inspiration, moral support, and also her ability to listen to all my problems with the book helped to guide me through one of the most frustrating times of my life. Thanks to our representative from J osten's! American Publishing Com- pany, Mr. James Bull, whose ideas, advice, guidance, and, yes, pu11S. were always welcomed contribu- tions. For portraits, candids, and also en- largements of all our color photos, Root Photographers deserves recog- nition for their dedication and hard work. Mr. Mark Chartrand merits our everlasting gratitude for lending us his pictures and also for printing pic- tures for our last minute layouts. We truly appreciate his contributions. When all three of our typewriters were being utilized, the Yearbook Annex provided a place for the overflow of staffers to type. Thanks to Mr. Eric Kennedy for giving us full use of his office and typewriter when we were pressed for time and most importantly, for all of his sup- port throughout the year. Special thanks to George Mur- awski, whose sheer dedication will never be forgotten. I personally don't think we could have finished the underclass section without him! Also his copy writing is worthy of much praise. Our jill-of-all-trades, Lisa Todd, provided us with last minute photos, layouts, and copy which deserve our gratitude. Mrs. Veidre Thomas' expertise in yearbook journalism was an invalu- able asset to the book this year and also last year. Her advice and guid- ance led us through the year with- out too many misconceptions. I just cannot give enough thanks to my Assistant Editors, Mary Al- bum Section Rowe, Shole Mr. Copy Milos, and Laurel The Heavy Wolak. Without them there would be no Thunderbird '81, Mary's persistance in her work proved to be an inestimable asset to .us A the book. Shole's effort in copy was superb. I don't believe he ever had to write a single piece of copy twice! Laurel's willingness to help others and also her ability to play the heavy contributed a great deal to the book. I'm fairly certain that even though there were bad times, Hear No Evil, See No Evil, and Speak No Evil will admit they did have a good time this past year with Have No Fun. Last, but not least, I wish to thank my parents for putting up with me and my yearbook work for the past three years, especially this last one. They were always understanding when I missed dinner or had to be at school at 8:00 on a Saturday morn- ing. I truly appreciate all of their support and encouragement. What can I say to sum up this en- tire year? Even though the staff and the year contained a mixture of in- congruous elements, in the end we managed to blend together to yield this final product, the Thun- derbird '81. I sincerely hope that the readers of this book will enjoy the memories instilled within as much as we, the staff, enjoyed working on it ANGELA SCHROEDER EDITOR'S NOTE 287
