Ladson Editor -In- Chief 196 EDITOR As the 1977 school year ends at Savannah State College, the College by the Sea, we have tried to capture all that is to be kept in mind and put it into this yearbook. We, the staff of the 1977 TIGER, hope that we have succeeded in accomplishing all of the memories that vou would like to keep stored in your minds. My thanks goes to Mr. Gus Howard, Ms. Barbara McFall and the members of my staff who have worked diligently and stuck with this publication to the end. We have faced many trials, but expectantly survived them all. We have enjoyed working together and hope you can appreciate and cherish the finished product. As you turn through the pages of your 1977 TIGER, sit back, relax and continue to support the TIGERS at S.S.C. the College by the Sea. Sincerely, (JwJia.^uju l(j . /aJ^ Stephanie D.
