ili Word of Explanation
To all of the many faithful
readers and friends of the HIGH
LIFE staff:
In case you have noticed lately
that the senior members of the
staff have been floating aroimd on
cloud nine, its not because the
beach is near at hand, but rather,
they are taking a well needed two-
week rest.
The production worries of HIGH
LIFE have shifted over to the
junior and sophomore members of
the staff for the traditional ex
perimental issue .That issue is in
your hands.
