FCREWCRD This is our country, the United States of America. It is a democratic union, we are a free and happy people. Often our thoughts take us back to times gone by and we view in retrospect our historic past. We see courageous pilgrims as they lay the founda- tion of freedom and democracy. We see the sons of these pilgrims playing important roles in the drama of those crucial periods in our history, from which our country was destined to emerge in order to take another step forward towards establishing the peace-loving, united nation that it is today. Just as the events of our past are recorded in history books, so are the activities and events of this school year recorded on the pages of the 1955 Colonial. We have endeavored to put forth a book to which, in years to come, you will turn with a feeling of pride and perhaps of nostalgia as you reflect on your sometimes sad, sometimes happy, but always memorable high school days. Our theme portrays the highlights of our historic past. ln so doing, we pay due homage to our glorious American heritage. Here, then is the finished product, the result of a year's efforts, our and now your 1955 Colonial.
