    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is avily hi dependent upon the.quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of tichniquesti is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they ^re spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Imf is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposureand thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the ph otographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the materi <il. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — begi Hning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indiicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat Ijigher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essent al to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • ^Friendship Sloop 1)Ays
    Arthur Griffin ^friendship Sloop 1)ays Arthur Griffin Dedication Shaking heads and irate words mark the difference (in many in- stances) between generations. Much has been said and written by adults about the "rebellious" teenager, and there has been much protest against the older generation from the teenager. However, the Friendship Sloop Society feels it has a unique group of adults and teenagers that recognize each other's prerogative and live together knowing there is something bigger than any one of us. Each year we greet a membership of grown-ups that loves sailing, likes Friendship, and are "gone" Friendship Sloopers, and enjoy it be- cause they do it with their family. What we tend to overlook is the chil- dren. All you have to do is be in Friendship for a regatta and see the young ones of our town wanting to help and be a part of things, and see the children coming in from boats to do their bit. There is a great satis- faction in having a town boy haunt the wharves waiting for VIDA MIA to come up the bay so he can visit with Timmy Brown, and have the Cronin Children pacing the deck until they get the word to go ashore and see their friends. It is common to see a group of children of all ages working on handicap buoys or putting numbers on flags before they go off to have some fun of their own. From all the children connected to our regatta in any way we know there is great hope for the future of our country when they finally take the task from our hands.
