FOREWORD “To Get The Picture’ To get the picture, one starts with a very versatile, creative too l—-the camera. For many of us, a good camera not only has the flexibility to accept a wide range of interchangeable lenses but is also automatic and simple to use. There are lenses that literally broaden your horizons, while others give you great depth-of-field. Still, other lenses work like a telescope, enabling you to bring distant objects closer. The “camera serves as an excellent symbol for illustrating our efforts to focus on school year 1987- 88 and to compose a picture that covers the highlights. We think the picture presented herein is a product of an amazingly uncluttered viewfinder that gives you a totally unobstructed view of the year that was. In some cases, we have tried to give you the “whole picture. In doing this, we attempted to keep people in the fore— ground and behind the main subject, sharp and clear. At other times, our aim was to bring distant objects or people closer, isolate an individual in a crowd, or shoot beautiful portraits of individuals who make up the college community. In these pictures, we felt it was desirable to keep the background out of focus. To get the picture of the 1987-88 school year has been a fascinating, unusually rewarding experience. It is our hope that as you focus the lens of your internal camera on each page of the 1988 ARCH, the picture you get will be, for you, a sound investment in satisfaction and enjoyment.
