2004-05 Edition

Degree of difficulty:

I have contemplated revising the early editions of The Daughtry Times;however, upon multiple requests of students from that period of time; I have not changed anything. Frequently, I am embarrassed when one sites the earlier editions since they are by no means a reflection of my finest work but instead a mere stepping stone to where we presently are. Inevitably, one will find errors or inconsistencies throughout the collection below. A tactful correction as opposed to a condascending blast of my initial efforts would be greatly appreciated.
