DISCHARGE NOTE Tl-lE publication of a yearbook traditionally entails a multitude of difficulties and obstacles to be overcome. BIOPSY's third annual phoenix-like resurrection from the ashes of what appeared to be final death is no exception to the above axiom. ln fact, the yearly struggles of our publication fora place in the sun are well known and need hardly to be gone into here. Suffice it to say that were it not for the clear realization of the injustice of our plight on the part of two gentlemen, Messrs. Lew Bowman and Churchill Young, editor and business manager, respec- tively, of Cork: ond Curls, BIOPSY would have been forever dead. For it was they who, aware of the impasse which had arisen as a result of the original shackling and entangling agreement upon which BIOPSY was first allowed to be published, consented graciously to discard the old and form a new and more liberal contract between the two publications. BIOPSY,l feel, now has a firmer foot- ing than ever before, lt remains for those in charge in future years to strengthen that footing even more. Money, as always, caused a tremendous amount of concern. The few dollars left from the past two issues was a rather small foundation upon which to build. l-lowever, from the beginning the Nurses Student Government Asso- ciation came to our aid with a liberal donation to the cause. Our sincere thanks and appreciation. ln addition, with the authorization for solicitation of local advertise- ments formerly denied, but now possible because of the new agreement, the business staff under the efficient direction of Jim l-lenney and Baron Elliot did a tremendous amount of work with great success. Without this work BIOPSY could not have gone to press. lt has been satisfying to feel that our yearbook has been not the product of one or two individuals' time and effort, but has been the result of the closely co-operative en- deavor of many. Each has been an important cog in the machine and to all go the credit or blame. It should be the function of the editor merely to guide and to co-ordinate. For a yearbook should be everybody's business and the product of a concerted enterprise. Such l feel has been the case this year. Special thanks should be given to many. The staff listings speak for themselves. To name but a few: To the photog- raphy staff especially, who spent many long hours gather- ing material and even longer hours in the darkroom- many nights until morning, to all who contributed their own photographs, to Miss Gigi McKnight for the clever drawings for the title pages, to Sam Miller, who without benefit of listing on the staff came to our aid in the rushed latter days with much excellent writing, and last but certainly not least to Misses Sally Griffin, Mary Lou l-loward, and Brooks Overton, who not only willingly gave up much of their time to type copy but offered much encouragement and brightened up the long weary hours as only they can do. lf BIOPSY is to continue, and we hope it will, let me wish for the future staffs that they haveithe same unselfish team-like spirit which has characterized our group this year. -The Editor. 0930
