Editor; Montgomery, Editor. To the Reader: Yours, is this 1955 BUCCANEER. You may keep it for years as a memory book. It was a busy staff that finished the last few pages of the BUCCANEER and sent them along to the printer. The staff was proud, too, to think that they had put together an annual that would fall into many eager hands, hands whose owners would be the judges of whether or not the 1955 BUCCANEER is a good one. The staff sincerely hopes that this 1955 BUCCANEER will be treasured by its owners. When you open the pages and read through, seeing yourself and your friends in the photographs and recalling the many events of the year, try to think of the staff and advisors who spent their time and effort to make this book possible.
