THE COMPANY OF MEMORIES Our choice of memories reveals our secret nature. For out of the multitude of the images and echoes of our experiences we select a certain few to remem- her and to cherish — the picture of a happy event, a flower whose fragrance lives on despite its dried petals between the pages of a book, the recollection of a face, of the pressure of a hand, the colors of a sunset, the morning light on mountain snows. The friends may be gone, the scenes far away, the com- panionships beyond recapture — but in moments of recall they all come back to life again. Time ' s chains fall away and we mingle freely again with those who once filled the rooms of fellowship with gay laughter and youthful mo ement. Twice blest are the wholesome days — the joys of the day and the delight of memory. The two are inseparable, for the memory creates anew the day no less that the day created the memory. As the college graduate moves from the campus onto the busy streets of the city, into the fellowshi])s of home and friends, into the days that carry him farther away from youth and school, the memories of Augustana will reappear on the screen of his mind, the echoes of voices heard here will resound in other environments. What these may be depends on what we choose to admit. They will be the index of what we made of campus days and of what campus experiences made us to be. We are known by the company of memories we keep. V dm u y tyL,y -- -YY7

CAMPUS LIFE 8 A Year at Aiigustana 18 Queens CLASSES 22 Seniors 40 Juniors ■14 Sophomores 48 Freshmen ACTIVITIES 51 ' Student Government 58 Amphitheater 59 WAUG 60 Publirations 64 Miisie 67 Speech As long as there have been yearbooks, analogies have been made calling them keys to your college life, storehouses of memories, reflections of the past, and inspirations for the future. What is a yearbook then? It can be all these things or none of them. A yearbook is what you make it. It may be a date bureau for the next few years, or it may hold down some papers on a closet shelf. As you leaf through it on some far distant day, it may bring a flood of nostalgia at the memory of some fraternity informal or walking up from Stu-L ' hand in hand on a sunny autumn afternoon with the smell of football in the air. It may bring laughter as you show your child how oddly people dressed way back in ' fifty-four, or it may even bring a spark of new life to some youthful ideal at the memory of an inspiring chapel talk. Whatever this book may mean to you, we hope it will be a source of pleasure, and that someday you may turn again to its pages and remember that this was Augustana.
