Bound for. . . Reflection ff /\ fter spending two years as edl· tor-In-chief of the Alcala, I find It hard to believe that the 1991 Al· cala Is finished. Page 508 not only represents the end of the 1991 schoolyear, but also the close of a unique chapter In my college years." " It's difficult to write how It feels not having to 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 27. 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." "A question that seemed to be In the minds of many during the beginning of the fall semes· ter was why did you take the position of editor again? I took the position for a second term to use my experiences from the first to Improve the yearbook and many of these Ideas and sug· gestlons were accomplished, such as: the use ofcaptions for all photos (80%), dominant pho– tos, an organized ladder with appropriate sec· tlons, a dedication, a larger senior section, stay· Ing under budget, returning all necessary rev· enue to associated students, maintaining more than seven staff members during the last dead· line, last but certainly not least this colophon. As anyone can see, the staff achieved many of these accomplishments." "As an editor I 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 Davies my assistant for his diligent work and dedication. As fraternity brothers, and even roommates, It has been an eventful year! Through your commitment this year's Alcala was a great deal easier. Also, I would like to thank the patience of my other two roommates (Toby Bost et Rob Affleck) for their understand· Ing of late nlght,s, early mornings et days like the X-mas party. I would also like to thank my parents for their blessing and guidance In some extraordinarily trying times throughout this school year. " "USD Is renowned r, - n. T.S. ~llot, In his poem 'Little 0/ddlng' captured these thoughts:" What we call the beginning Is often the end. And to make an end Is to make a beginning. The end Is where we start from. "We go with our memories, knowledge and self-awareness. These are gifts we all have, things we acquired together here at USD. SO while the future Is ours and the past Is shared, each of us goes forth possessing something belonging to us all." forty-one years.
