Don't get yourself in such a tizzy, I spelled Rich Perez' name wrong too! It's called a 'typo' ---

The paper was indeed dormant during your senior year (73-74) ---- there were no plans in motion whatsoever to publish Volume XXXII, No 2.
The facts are: I single-handedly took it up on myself to put the EAGLET into production in the Spring of 1974. I literally composed the articles on my mom's electric typewriter, and cut and pasted the issue together at my home, using scissors and elmer's glue. The column lines and dividers were done in pen ink, freehand. Even the front-page masthead was a re-creation of my own design (using clipart of a Phoenix). I then took these rough mockups to the Graphics Shop offset press darkroom, and added some photos and artwork that I found here and there (the classic Dr Proctor was a humorous bit of inspiration -- he says "Eat this Newspaper").

To refresh our collective memories, I have scanned the actual paper and posted the very words I wrote back then.
If you want to now claim that the EAGLET of Spring 1974 was indeed your project because you were the titular "Editor-in-Chief" that's OK by me; like you say, we were/are indeed friends and who am I to sit here and argue 30 years later over it!?
Sorry I spelled your name wrong. No big deal. All I intended at this point was to offer some nostalgic record for everyone's amusement.

I have a question for you, Randi:
Did you think the front-page presentation of Nancy Camreon's nude behind was inappropriate? Or funny?
