Editor's comments
Life is like a yearbook. No one can make it on his own. And this year's Image is no exception.
I recently realized that when I first asked for this job last September, I really didn't have any idea what 1 was getting into. All the same, after a computer crash and numerous deadline crunches, I am proud to have been a part of this year's Image team. The amount of work that goes into making an annual is incredible, and a team it was, so please bear with me as there are many people who deserve recognition.
Throughout the year, Mr. Moore's reminders about what I needed to watch were of immense help to an editor who began the year with almost no experience. Had it not been for the careful eye he kept tossing over my shoulder, a few important details might not have received the attention which they deserved.
Mr. Patterson, as hard as you try, you cannot escape the yearbook. As resident yearbook guru, his knowledge of past years and his willingness to answer any question were invaluable. In addition, I must thank him for some of the incredible photography exhibited in the following pages.
Paul Morton and Jon Hastings spent many long hours in the darkroom, and I thank them for putting up with the insane requests of us lowly editors who always seemed to wait until the last minute. Paul, Jon, and Laurent Madore were the backbone of our photography department and, as any former editor knows, the picture-people have all the power.
Homayoun, Owen, Peter, have fun next year and remember: whatever happens, stay crazy. It's the orJy way to stay sane. Nazmy, Omar, John, Jason, Sean, and the rest of the staff, thanks for hanging in there.
Mr. Benoit and his Computer Applications class can take almost full credit for the grad bios. It's amazing how quickly they came in after we were threatened with bible quotes! Our Josten's representative, Mr. Steve Weeks, was always on hand to ai\swer questions.
I would also like to thank Mr. Guimont and the math department for their help in the computer room, Mr. Badian for the various pictures, Milo for his password, Mathew Aronson for the namestamping, Remy Bhilotra and Richard Durrett for their selfless, on-the-spot help, and Dave Mills for being a wonderful guy and a great role model.
Finally, I owe much to my teachers, family, and friends for putting up with me this past year. AU the stress and hair-pulling was well worth it. Thank you all.

Putting together a yearbook is a gargantuan task that requires teamwork. The 1993 Image 'team' has been captained by our fearless editor, David Alpert, who has remained calm even in the face of ominous deadlines. Thank you, David, for all your hard work.
I would also like to thank my section editors: Paul Morton (photography); Homayoun Saleh and Peter McDougall (sports); John Brownstein (activities); Nazmy Abaskharoun (jvmior school); Owen Rees (faculty and Alpert's assistant); David Bouskill, Jason Schuele, and Jade Youngblood (business); Omar Ahmad (undergrads); Sean McAllister (grads); and Kevin Yu (grade 12). You have made a significant contribution to this year's annual.
My thanks also go out to the 'little' people ~ the trench persons, assistants, and photographers - who played integral roles in the shaping of our yearbook.
Richard Hovey, thank you for your assistance with the junior school section.
I also owe a debt of gratitude to Jack Benoit and his computer applications class, who put in many long hours typing (and dealing with the hassles of) the grad write-ups. Thank you.
And last, but not least, I thank Ron Patterson, my mentor, who spent many hours overseeing the photographers and their darkroom.
