Editors Appreciation
*'"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
creeps on this petty pace from
day to day to the last syllable
of recorded time."-Wm. Shakespeare, Macbeth
And what of tomorrow and tomorrow? We do not know.
We live from day to day, basing our expectations of tomorrow
on the experiences of the past. It is the purpose
of an annual to record the happenings of each year so that
in the years ahead we may look through these books and
recall the life we lived here at the University. That has
been the task of the Gem staff this year and it is my hope
that when you have looked at this book it will have fulfilled
its purpose for you. There are no unique changes in the
Gem of 1957. The staff has simply strived to give back to
you through pictures and stories the events of this year.
I hope that each person who reads it finds some one thing
that captures a particular memory or pulls at a certain
heart string.
Many people have helped in preparing this book for
publication. If it meets with your approval it is because of
their efforts. Many thanks to the following:
To Myrt Williamson- my girl Friday who has worked
diligently doing well anything that needed to be
done. She takes on the job of the 1958 Editor-in-chief.
To Larene Newberry-the other associate ediror who
worked steadily and efficiently on indexing and other
jobs.
To Jim Gipson, Gordon Gipson, and the rest of the crew
at Caxton Printers in Caldwell for the fine job of
photo-mounting and printing. And thanks to diem
also for all the concessions made to us during the year.
To Paul Evans, Jim's artist, for doing the fine work on
the page layout, art work, and cover design.
To AI Salisbury and crew at Artcraft Engravers in
Seattle for the time spent on making the engravings
for our book.
To Bruce Wendle--who with his photography staff
worked long and hard through missed photo-orders
and camera failures to supply the needed photos.
To Larry Courtney-who as darkroom man is responsible
for the quality of the pictures.
To Roger Groth-who supplied most of the fine pictures
for the opening section.
To Roy Bell, Don Walker, and Rafe Gibb for their
assistance in supplying needed photographs.
To Hutchinson's, Rudy's, and Sterner's, for their portrait
work.
To Rudy for the portraits in the Queen Section and also
for the extra photos with which he supplied us.
To staff heads, Betty Bovey, Sandy Yost, Kay Conrad,
Max Burke, Marge Bradbury, Carolyn Edwards, Bob
Hansen, Jim Glenny, Nancy Norton, Jerry Gneckow,
Dixie Hoflland for the fine work they did on their
sections.
To Gale Mix who always had time to listen to a problem
and a word of encouragement when it was needed.
And to his secretary, Gail Gillespie, who was always
ready to help.
To John B. Hughes, this year's Jason, who co-operated
with us so well in using the darkroom and who always
helped us out when he could.
I have two more personal thank-you's. Maybe these
people didn't turn a hand to help publish the book, but
they were responsible for the morale of the editor. First
to all the guys and gals at 727 Elm and 1038 Blake thanks
for all the moral support, for helping me in a pinch, or
for just drowning my troubles with a cup of coffee. And
last, but by no means least, to Husband Dave who withstood
the constant ringing of the telephone, bad moods
when deadlines were missed, late meals and sometimes no
meals, and many other hardships so that Gem work could
go on, I want to say, thanks, pal. Your wonderful cooperation
did not go unnoticed.
May your tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow bring
you the fulfillment of your dreams. And may this 1957
Gem of the Mountains help you to relive your yesterdays.
