Barren Senior Class History This is the history of the Class of 1955, written today as it will be read tomorrow, a dec- ade from now, or even later in the infinite reaches of time. 1955 A. D. The world has embarked on another year across the ocean of eternity. How- ever, this is nothing new because it has occurred many times during its immeasurable existence. And, similar to previous embarkations, this one is characterized by anticipation. Because ahead lies an age of unimagined intellectual, spiritual, and material progress. We at Gannon College are preparing for graduation and endeavoring to determine our places in society. As we pause in our reflections, we realize what these four memorable years mean to us — lessons, classes, and extra-curricular interests which aided and affected us in many incalculable ways. And with a feeling of indebtedness we recall various professors who have contributed so much to our success along the way. We recollect, also, classmates we know so well and yet may never see again. The past four years pass through our minds as we relive times we thought would never end. As citizens of tomorrow, we submit ourselves to the will of God. We do not know what is ahead, for we are only the Class of '55. Nevertheless, we do know that the future holds a cer- tain challenge for each of us, and we know that someday the world will rest in the hands of our generation .... 17

Senior Class Advisor WE proudly dedicate this portion of our book to Reverend Edward Q. Franz; a faithful expression of our warm regard and respect for him as a distinguished priest, a fine gentleman, and a most valued friend and counsellor. Because of this, we view our departure with a certain sadness — the same sadness one experiences at the loss of a dear friend or an outstanding leader. Father Franz has been both. 16
