Sixth germ In setting down a history of the Class of 1955, where should the emphasis fall? Is there no one theme to which the entire class adheres? We could say that we are Mr. Hagerman's first and largest graduating class, having been with him through his first four years at Holderness. In- teresting, but not in itself a significant achieve- ment. As all classes do, we could also say that we are the best class to graduate for some time, citing figures and examples to illustrate our point. Statistics show, for example, that through the years the class has quickly taken over the leadership of ,the school until its members now hold eighty-five percent of all responsible posi- tions. Scholastically we have put six percent of the class in The Cum Laude Society, and nearly everyone has been accepted at the college of his choice. Our debating achievements have re- sulted in qualification for the national tourna- ment, to which two of our members go. Or to get to the longer-remembered things we can boast of our spectacultar upset over Proctor, making a successful football season, or the brilliant performance of our ski team coming within half a point of capturing the Interscholas- tics title. Our closer memories involve individ- uals of the class, their amusing habits and strange garb, impossible to list here, but perhaps more significant than anything mentioned. In short, there seems to be no single theme to characterize this class of varied individuals, unless it be excellence in all which they under- took.
