Amherst College - Olio Yearbook (Amherst, MA)

Graduation marked the exit of a class rich in athletic talent, superior in academic ability, and unusual in its capacity for leadership and mature action. But more subtlely, yet more significantly, Amherst, succumbing to its perennial fate, lost a personality, from the spirited riots of its freshman year to its professional senior show , the class of 1955 contributed to the College a real collective personality, positive in its presence and mourned in its departure. Yes, this was the year 1954-55 at Amherst. The future usefulness of the outlook on life with which it left us would always depend upon the individual. But now each of us is separated from that embryonic undergraduate existence, whether for a few months or for longer. Nevertheless, we are held fast in the knowledge that, however hard we may try, we and it can never be completely divorced. Something of it remains with us, and us with it. So let us reminisce, forgetting the premium we learned to place on newness, on nonchalance, on indifference, and remembering with fondness, perhaps even a touch of nostalgia, times that have passed. Now, unhindered, we can sit back and hum an old tune. H. Irving Grousbeck Robert R. Strand . X, , , , . sl L- Q, des i, wp: ,. -5- ta: TYTQQ 8N 'MQ-. WF
