Editor's Notes As I sit here I realize that this year of fun and heartaches is quickly coming to an end. My dream has now become reality. This night marks the end of the 1985 Petit Jean when I go to bed , my bed, at Boggs House , so too goes to bed the Petit Jean. But the year has been preserved for all of us in 1985 prized possession. The 1985 Petit Jean saw many adversities, (staff resignations and destroyed film to name a few) but with the Lord 's help we overcame it all. This marks the end of my ninth and possible last yearbook. I thank God for the opportunity that I have had to work on the Petit Jean for three of those years. I! has enhanced my knowledge about yearbooks. I want to thank my club brothers Danny, Allen and especially Stu! To my other close friends, Denise, James , Jan Coker, Karen , Matt and "The Cabbage Kids" you all have helped me complete the task. To my mother and sister thanks for your understanding when I did not come home for breaks. There is a man and his family that can't be forgotten. To his daughter, Susan thanks "sis" for the encouragement. Mrs. Pryor thanks for all the wonderful snacks. And to the man with refreshing and encouraging words of wisdom at just the right time. Thanks so much you truely have been an inspiration to me. I! truely has been an honor for me to have been an editor of the 1985 Petit Jean. I stop and think of the great company I have now joined; Hazel Raye Willoughby-the first editor (1925), Dr. Joseph E. Pryor-sponsor for 41 years (1937), Dr. Clifton L. Ganus-President of Harding (1943), Bessie Mae Ledbetter Pryor-Dr. Joe's lovely wife (1946), Pat Sutherlin-first editor in a string of 25 All-Americans (1960), Tom Butterbaugh-helped with the cover (1979), Charles Murpheyno longer the late book (1980), Susan Pryor-helped with the cover (1979), Jay Simpson (1983) and Suzanne Johnston (1984)-these two editors I had the honor to work with and they were two of the best teachers anyone could have. As I think back over the long year that I am finishing, I remember the fun times we had up on second floor of the Student Center especially with the Bison staff, Eddie, Liz and Mark. I remember the eight weeks that I slept every night in the Petit Jean Office. Then waking up to find a ticket on my car for parking in a staff slot and I once again had missed Mike Emerson)s class. I remember being asked "How many more to go?" or "When does it all have to be finished?" I have learned so much over the long arduous year. I have learned that to have a sense of humor helps and that I would never trade my work on the Petit Jean this year for anything in the world. The "faithful few" that stuck it out became a family. We laughed together and cried together but most importantly we finished the job that was set before us. We told the Harding story in the best most accurate way we knew how. On May 20 (1985, well ahead of the Bull's prediction) when I leave the "apartment," Petit Jean Office, it will be for the last time as editor. The office will lie vacant until August when its new commander will take over the helm to begin work on the 1986 Petit Jean.!t too will be "the Start of Something New." ilF&. - David D. Wall, Editor
