U16 CAIDDUS AHC U16 NATION 1952-5 A yearbook is a book of memories but . . . more often than not . . . only an aid to the memory, for the pictures will bring back a flood of events that can't be recorded in black and white. The limitations of type are many and we can't recreate the inflection in a certain professors voice, the Durfee lounge at ll:59 on a Saturday night or the earnest bull sessions that were so great a part of our college education. The class of 1953 will remember many things. They will remember the small-college atmosphere when a trip from the Science Building to Van Raalte involved saying Hi to twenty people or when the happiness, or grief, of one was shared by many. This was the year that Oh Happy Day was born and died . . . along with something called It's in the Book. This was a coronation year in England, a year of bloodshed in the Far East, a time of hoping that Europe might somehow bring order from a chaotic past. This was the year names like Dulles, McCarthy and Marciano made headlines while a campus that was rather conservative in its politics, settled back happily after the November elections. Some of us reflected on the tremendous heritage that is Hope College's and thought that perhaps we were quite fortunate in our choice of campuses. Perhaps the people who persist in labeling this, our generation, another lost generation would not be quite so emphatic if they could have the privilege of experiencing, as we have, the impact of a century of Christian background.
