- - ■ .•1 I tonic With the Student Cabinet « » sttulvnt lnnhj . . . Planning of a statement for a school annual involves one of two procedures, (a) Observance of the decorous and the conventional and thusly say the same thing over and over again, or (b) Breaking with tradition and being entirely different. I've chosen to do the latter. It is my decision this year to give my viewpoint on two questions that arise from time to time. (1) Why a school annual ? and (2) Is it worth while? The principal purpose of a yearbook is to record in story and picture the highlights of a school year. This book is a printed record to which you students of 1956-57 may refer at any time in the years ahead. The permanent record card in our files is your permanent record of your accomplishments in each subject you have pursued. Reference is made to these records in the Registrar’s office every day in the school year. Your AGAWASIE is a record, primarily, of the extra-curricular activities of one of your years of college life. That is good. You would be surprised to know how often members of the Faculty refer to school annuals of the past to identify former students. And that is good. Now if you have read this far. permit me to make a suggestion. Got signatures in your annual. I am sure you would like to glance at them in the years to come. Flatter all of us on the teaching staff and administrative staff. Make the rounds and get signatures of our faculty members. At the time this is written. I am informed that this year's AGAWASIE will be the best ever. That. too. is good. My sincere appreciation to your Editor. Miss Lee Ann Broin. and to every member of her staff who worked long and hard on the 1956-57 AGAWASIE. My personal good wishes to each and every one of you who were in attendance here this year. Success to those of you who are graduating: and a special invitation to you first year students to return next year. You’ve been a fine gang” and I say again That is Good.” Sincerely, G. W.
