Show Last Word We were sitting in Pub. Council meeting the other day, and Jan asked Bonnie how she could justify spending so much on a yearbook when so few people are interested in it. How about that? Here we take $1 0,800 from the ASUU apportionment, spend a year of our time putting together a $35,000, 438 page book, and fewer than 3,000 people (if we're lucky) care enough to buy it. In fact we don't even seem important enough for President Fletcher to get mad at us. Most people spend four years on this campus. They grow up here. They meet their wives and husbands here. They train their minds and bodies and learn trades here. For four years they eat and sleep, talk, listen and watch, party and make love here. And this book captures most of these 15,000 lives in pictures. Isn't that enough to justify a yearbook? How many people can boast that they had their picture in the Chronicle? For that matter, how many could even get their picture in the Chronicle? How many people still have their copies of the Chronicle twenty years after they graduate? There are Utonians in this office dating from 1 906. Do you want to know all about a school? Browse through its yearbooks from the past ten years. See what has happened there, what its students have done, how it has grown. Has the past ever come alive for you? Read a yearbook. I mean really read it, don't just look at the pictures. Read the copy, too. And if you ever lived during those four years you were in college, you'll find a yearbook well worth your money and well worth the effort that has gone into it. To the people who care, I dedicate the 1967 Utonian. There are several people who deserve credit for their part in making this book. The first is my brother Jon for getting me into this business two years ago. And thanks to Lee Burnham, editor turned business manager. If it weren't for Lee and his heads, we wouldn't have had all those crazy displays that caught everyone's attention. In other words, thanks to Lee, I didn't have to worry myself about business details. And Brent Rufener for putting up with some of the photography problems. We had things that yearbook photogs seldom worry about. But Brent did some pretty good class photography this year. Wheelwright for all the special care they have given us - to Peggy and Rose and Dr. Wheelwright - to Harold Ecker for his beautiful queen portraits, and thanks to ,_ Dick Harmston Barbara Leavitt Bobbi Allan Robin Anderson Rosalie Asson John Byrd Sheila Carver Carolyn Christiansen Carol Clawson Steve Coulam Sid Crandall Carol Curtis Linda Demars Richard Featherstone George Goebel April Hall Dave Irvine Warren Keuffel Shawn Langdorf Sue Likins Bonnie Lyon Roger Madison Sue McKean Nancy Mills Chris Olson Marsha Overfelt Jim Piper Pat Plowgian Sandra Roberts Leslie Scopes Doug Sneddon Kathy Swan Freddie Van Der Wouden Kathy Vane Cathy Van Harten Ann Wessman Bill Whittaker Terry Wilhelmsen 438 |
