I personally lacked any artistic way to reproduce the
mind images on paper. So I turned to my sibling,
Jim Ronco
with whose help the idea's progressed until
he formed the design in this book.
When no sports editor could be found, I turned to
my ex-roommate who had excellent credentials and
a desire to work.
Oscar Rodriguez
has been the one
who has been responsible for the sports section. An
award-winning journalist he turned his talents toyear
book and the results are outstanding.
Someone always has to do the small things and un
less they're done, no major endeavor is completed.
Mike Renner
was always available and most willing
to do anything to help the book.
Pat Conova
worked from the first weeks of the year
and in the last deadline days still had the same good
attitude and willingness to do the job and have it done
right.
Rocky Bayiess
returned to USD after a little va
cation, was put immediately to work and added the
professional touch to the darkroom that all great
yearbooks have.
Pat Monte
was put in a position she knew little about
and soon mastered the technique and was the PR
man for the book.
Two photographers not pictured but who played
very important roles in the making of the book were
Mike Chambers
and
Harvy M. Good, Jr.
Mike, when
available, did much work and covered the needed
activities when the 'regulars' couldn't. Harvy got up
out of a "Hong Kong" flu bed to work 12 hours in order
to help complete the book. His yearbook background
rendered him extremely capable of covering Home
coming and his advise to staffers also was extremely
successful.
So to these people who gave so much and received
nothing in return except the feeling of a job well-
done I voice my thanks on behalf of the students and
as their editor. I would also like to add that the year
was an extremely difficult one because other than
these people there was little or no co-operation and
so these people were forced to work inspite of, and
not for the students and the editor.
Personally I can only say that I've always acted in
what I felt the best interest of the students and I feel
that I can point to this book with pride and say with
satisfaction it is the
best
book USD has ever had,
and may ever have.
