WE SING of a glo rious and illustrious assemblage, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-six. This is the story of courageous maidens, who leaving their native homes behind them, ventured through underground passageways, stream-lined chariots, and bird-like conveyances to a glittering isle surrounded by dark and mysterious boroughs. This is a tale of four long years of wandering and exploring, four years beset with terrifying dangers of many varieties, characterized by bold and exacting ex- ploits, and enhanced by wondrous experiences and unfolding truths. These are heroines of no ordinary stature. They are graced with beauty and charms, and bestowed with all the arts and skills that make them truly womanly. They have been blessed by the God with persistance, persever- ance, eloquence, imagination, and audacity. The extent of their loquacity is known all over the globe. Equally at home in concert halls and art gal- leries, always at ease with test tubes and typewriters, these are adventurers who have dedicated themselves to searching and probing, to bravely strip- ping away vague clouds of imprecision until they have penetrated to the very core, the very essence of what they set out to find.
