74445 ' Prefects de Tristan, Moseley, Tyler, Athletic Council Representative Fairchild and Prefect Hodsoll. The school year 1954-55 has marked many memorable events in the history of Cate, not least of which was the graduation from its ranks of this Senior Class. Eighteen stu- dents are graduated this june to become scholars in the various universities of this coun- try. The school sees their arrivals and departures, the Mesan commemorates them. Here, then, a brief testament to their various talents as individuals and collectively as a class. To trace the history of a class is impossible, as its members vary from year to year . . . some leave, some stay to graduate, some return. A class is a part of a school, and a school is a microcorm of the world. This Senior Class, more than many of its predecessors, was a class of many personalities, from widely varying backgrounds. It was not a completely homogeneous group, but it was a basically unified class. Again different from many of its predecessors, it was not a class which thought itself exclusive of the rest of the school, and it is hoped that their example will become a tradi- tion. Spirit, which reached a low ebb last year, has now, under the leadership of the Senior Class and headmaster, again reached a high point. The cooperation of the entire student body acting as a unit, has greatly contributed to the efficient and smooth running of the school this year. In addition to their attitude, the Seniors have individually and collectively made many specific contributions to the school. The introduction of the Class Presidents form of student government in lieu of a Student Council was the direct contribution of the Pre- fects. An efficient dance committee, dramatics and debating clubs, a quartet fThe Three Preefs and a Poofj, an Athletic Council, and finally the eminent S.O.M. have made other contributions. On the field and court, the Class of '55 has led the school in one of the most successful years in sport the school has seen. Perhaps the greatest task facing the Senior Class this year was the problem of getting to know the new headmaster. To introduce the new head of the school to its life, its customs, and its foibles, to bear with the idiosyncrosies of a new administration are indeed difficult for a class in its last year-a year already with responsibility. The class as a unit readily surmounted this additional responsibility, making the year a pleasant one of all concerned. The year is over now, they are gone. In memory of this class, this book is left. In word and deed the Class of '55 has lived up to the standards and traditions of the school, and, if they remain, the future will make them men.
