Snan Song of a Hftirinf Journalist ...
Th» finul editorial should probably

ptnwible far a r'etirinu. amateur journal
i iat to produce If the yJb were done cor
rectly you render* might be expected to
collapae frtmi emotional strain after read
ing it but, »*i the contrary, it ahouM be
relatively italnletw There are juat a few
last words I d like to rap ojA on the type
writer befora signiat; the newsman's tradi
tional "Str.
Find a word at ap|>reciation to those
official of the college who have consis-
1 tently uphold <»ur right to print what we
1 saw fit, treating it in the manner we deem
ed bent The final decision on the pre
sentation of any news was Bill's and mine
If it had not been thus, neither of us would
have waited n«>r assumed the responsi
bilitv of editorship
Thanks also to the profs who accepted
assignments that were late beyond rea
son because we rhooae to put The Butt
deadline ahead of the book deadline.
From you readers we appreciated and
enjoyed you# interest Wc welcomed your
commenta written or sf*oken complimen
tary and otherwise Without them wc
would hive felt we were publishing an
obituary report.
Ami before going arty further I want
td thank the d<*ena of hard working,
grade |**nt sacnficigg men who worked
_ through the year with Bill and me. They
are the ones who. for little or no material
reward worked long hours, took blame
that waan't theirs ff> share, while Bill ami
I took the credit Without them wed
hare been doing well to produce a monthly
injine<graphed news letter
I am deeply indebted to Roland Bing,
manager of student pubhcatione. ami Sid
Wise our assistant manager, for their
counsel, labors and encouragement.
A word of thanks also to some per
son* and agetKie® who, i**rhaf* unknow
ingly helped The Ratt and me through
the vear Among them are count teas oth-
ef editors from whose editorial ideas we
profited: a half-dosen coffee comftanies
whose product made the night hour* eas
ier; the loan agencies of the Student lai- ,
bor Office, Former Students Association. \
and the k*al bank, all of whom cooi«er»- j
ted magnificently; innumerable students
whose csrs I “borrtwred" to drive td town,
for that midnight snack, Ted Cathy and
his crew st the Housing Office for their
cherry wordk during the esrly morning
hour* the men of the AAM Press ff>r their
toiefation of our continual disregard for
h j nes; my roommate for his acceje
tanee of my ty|>ing long ftast midnight
and the dosena of otheril who cannot be
mentioned here because of space limits-
tlMl. j
I want to express my deep gratitude
to any and all people who had any |»art
in my being able to art as co-editor Be
cause of that opportumtv I have profited
immensely, not *o much in a material
sense but in knowledge- knowledge of
AScM of ideas processes, and. most of
all. of people.
Finally. I Want to thank my "partner
in crime," Bill Billingsley Even in this
editorial I have used the "We' which rep.
refwnts Bill and me being handier
With words than 1 am, might be able to
record un pajer the value of osr friendly
association I can only say. after our term
together that 1 wiaild never consider do-
inf it again, even if it were possible un
less he would pitch his tent with mine on
the second floor of Goodwin Hall
1 think it has been a good year We've
d«me the best job of which we were capa
ble For any of our mistakes 1 sincerely
afsiiogtte. *
You are is a better josition than 1 am
to judge our accomplishments
So this is "30.^ It has been a privi
lege to have been allowed to carry my
name at the top of the msathead To Dave
Toslett and Clayton Selph who will in
herit Bill s and my job in the Fall the best
of luck. I am confident they will apnrc-
nate and ment your trust wh< ih has been
mine to share
