Gort Rushmer and Bill Weaks, our photog- ,i lp, raphers, did more work than anyone. .They cut classesnbroke Q dates, and skipped many other things iust to keep up with the 12 Q overloaded assignments that were given them. Even though we gg Q beat them -over the head with a tripod occasionally, we think ff, I they are the best photographers ever.

To make this organized confusion worse, there was an 1 9 I i endless procession of strange characters wandering through the V at office, digging an pictures, and snurling at the pages as they ' E were comp ete . 1 4h . . v I. it has been fun as well as ceaseless work to compile this Q yearbook.
