fcffr Volunteers during the battle of the power plant at the heighth of the flood (Photos by Ted Loder.) DISASTER! I he year 1966-67 will be long remembered by the people of Fairbanks and those students who were on campus during summer of that year. This was the year of disaster. A series of earthquakes, the most violent of which reg- istered 6.7 on the Richter scale, and subsequent aftershocks left the community in a jittery state. Then in August came the flood which spread heartbreak and hardship into practically every family. The college community was relatively fortunate—being on high ground. It served as an oasis for the multitude routed out of their homes by the treacherous waters. This was also a disastrous year for the Denali. Apathy, inexperience, lack of cooperation AND the flood, com- bined to make this book late. We are sorry for the delay, sorry for those of you who may have been left out. Forgive us our omissions for they were not in- tentional. If the book does not meet your expectations, we hope it will at least serve to jog your memory in years hence so that you will recall the year 1966-67.
