I thought that I there are too many of them to mention by name even if I did. would be tremendously relieved-it seems like this last could spell the names, which Ican't. Adam Wright and Vernon Roberts supplied us with month was spent counting down the days to this My friends with cars-Joan, Steve, Pellit, Bill, Bob, pictures aU year long, and I thank them for all the time moment. But now that it's finally here-all I can say is they put in. It seemed like every time something hap- that I learned a tremendous amount this year- :~~ ~~~; g::~~n~~~~e;:v~: o~~~e~~~~I;!~~ ~~~u~i~~ pened on campus I turned around to go get a knowledge that could not have been gained in a thousands of trips to the printers.

There is one thing I never did learn-why some people up the paper Thursday mornings. Joan was one of the Bill Byrne not only did a great job as News Editor-he work so nard.and so faithfully for Scrimshaw when they original team of those told to "stuff ltv-the folks that also produced quarters week after week so that we could don't get any money, rewards, credit, or recognition. I'd helped me insert the middle page into each .six page play pinball. He also wrote several fine articles, and like to take this last chance to thank some of the people issue. I cannot thank those people enough-especially helped in countless ways with the physical production of who kept Scrimshaw off of the extinction lists this year. people like Mark and Ken and Jim who got roped into it the paper. I'd like to thank Binky Bielefield for all of the typing only because they lived on Bill's floor, and never figured I still believe that the best thing I ever did as editor she has done, especially since we never gave her more out that if they all ganged up and punched him out, they was take on Dave Cleveland as Managing Editor.

Such openess and freedom is who is working to death-but Dave did. He was always the excellent job they did with the advertising, Jim also an essential ingredient for the press, and I'm proud to willing to do his best above and beyond the call of duty-- understands the economics of Scrimshaw (a fact that say that it exists at Western Maryland. and I'm pleased to say that we worked well together all never ceases to impress me) and kept us running in the The countless friends who listened to me when I was year long.
