ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
For some reason or another each Editor, having completed the work on his book fills one final
page with reflections. I have often suspected that this was merely an expedient for filling a blank
page. Now I am certain of it.
And, so I am told, each Editor begins work on his book with vast plans which degenerate as
work progresses, or more frequently does not progress, into half vast efforts. But then one should
never even attempt to speak for someone else or his work.
These brief, but yet insignificant, comments lead to one central, almost overpowering fact, one
which I find myself unable to stress strongly enough — THE JOB IS DONE!
In the contemplation of this awesome condition it is impossible to avoid the names of the
persons without whose efforts the '59 Lux actually would have preceded the '58 edition. Invaluable
assistance arrived in the person of Jim McWilliams of Jahn and Oilier and The Hurley Company, engravers
and printers of the book respectively. Similar service was rendered by Rick Leana, who
promptly handled all requests from The May Company, the official senior photographer. To Ted
Wahl of Little King Bindery, who did the covers and binding, and to Dean Griffin the particular
thanks of both Jerry Simon and me must be extended for their patience and aid. Only one
other person cannot be omitted. The thanks of everyone who is surprised, pleasantly or otherwise,
at the completion of this book must go to my father whose long hours of work made the '58 Lux
a reality. Many more names could and most likely should be added to those already appearing,
but in the absence of a better excuse let it be sufficient to say that this page will be no longer
blank. The original purpose is hence satisfied.
Let the book now close with only this not too startling and far less original observation:
"What's done is done," and "What's done cannot be undone," but "If
it were done," it would have been "well that it were done quickly!"
