University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Yearbook (Oxford, MS)

Page 4 text:

The purpose of an annual is to keep alive the memories of each year; so that, later in life, one can look through it and recall the happy moments of his college career. It would be impossible to depict each event of this school term, 1956-57, for two reasons: first, so many wonderful things hap- pened that it would take a series of volumes rather than one small one to cover everything; second, for each of these events there were as many ferent emotions and as many different ways to re- member it as there were people present at the event. These two reasons limit the actual number of events mentioned in this annual. The book is designed, however, with an eye to portraying some of the salient points of this school year. As the reader recalls the occasions portrayed here, perhaps he will recall the emotions he ex- perienced at that time; and more important, haps his train of thought will continue its journey through his memories, and he will recall the many pleasant events that we were not able to portray. If this happens the annual will be a success.
