the theme this year, tied

together the traditions of USD and its sur–

roundings vividly. The use of this theme

was implemented in every section. The

design was traditional and created by Jed

Davis and J.C. Kennedy. Davis used his

artistic talents to create a unique floral

design which is

apparent

throughout the

book. The opening's use of color and

dominant photos is the result of Layout

Editor Heather Mineo, and Section t:di-

tor's Melissa Thompson and her assistant

Katie Tontz efforts.

schoolyear, but also the close of a

unique chapter In my college years."

" It's difficult to write how It feels not having

put anymore late (all) night of layouts, editing

(writing) copy, and designing. It Is also time for

me to entrust the reigns to a new editor. But,

this book wasn't an Individual effort. It was a

combined effort of

I look back and chuckle

at the stressful situations, the arguments, the

phone calls, even the long-winded meetings.

Now - hopefully, you can understand the for·

mat I used. We've learned teamwork, the ability

of working together as a unit. The executive

board had a business to run, a final product to

market and a commitment to the USD commu–

nity.

So,

when you happen to take a glance

around the office look at the memories we'll all

cherish from the time we spent In college."

"As an editor

can testify that hard-working

and dedicated people are hard to find. So It Is

Important to thank certain members on staff.

To begin with, I would like to again thank

Mike

work

and

dedication. As fraternity brothers, and even

roommates, It has been an eventful year!

Through your commitment this year's

was a great deal easier.

these thoughts:"
