IT is The period aT The end of The 1953 school senfence, lno pun infendedl and iT is The producT of The school. Being a period iT can afford To look back wiThouT Tripping because iT is The lasT in a long line of sTudenT produced acTiviTies. If aT Times iT laughs aT you don'T Take iT Too seriously. lT's laughing only because There is somefhing To laugh aT. Even if iT is occasionally serious in The Tradifion of all yearbooks, don'T Take iT Too liTerally. IT is only serious because iT mighT be iudged frivolous if iT were any oTher way. And we can'T be iudged frivolous. This book could, if wanTed To, Talk of The greafness of Jordan in glowing adiecfives. BUT iT won'T because iT agrees wiTh The sTaff ThaT These adiecfives are usually TriTe, banal expressions ThaT while being sincere are a Trifle Too mellow. However, boTh The sTaff and The annual ioin me in hoping ThaT you will enioy reading and looking aT The book as we have somefimes enioyed puTTing iT Togefher. Charles DeRiemer Edifor

'lm A dedication . . Being dedicated to an idea is much more difficult than to a man or men or buildings or so on, When it was decided jlilllil ' that this annual was to be To an idea .J ,FWQ it was tried to find some way of expressing that dedication throughout the annual. This yearbook is dedicated to individuality and it is hoped that the yearbook itself is an individual. By individuality it is meant not being dictated to by ideas or feelings, men, policies and concepts. By individuality it is meant finding That you are a person with the capacity and the right to think for yourself, to express yourself, to believe in yourself, This yearbook is meant to cause thinking . . . If on nothing else but the yearbook.
