Sargent, who was a stu- dent of C.H.S. Pondering over its phrases, any- one would find it hard to realize that a boy of his age could have written such a lasting tribute to our school. The Oracle of '55 is the first to have the Alma Mater as its theme. As one reads the annual, he will be aware of how well it lends itself to the scheme of the book.
