F0llEWOBD This book is Iowa State College. In a few short years, the graduates of today and tomorrow will have scattered around the globe, and many of them will carry this i P bound memory with them. Their library will contain this year of college, just as surely as if they mounted Beardshear Hall on their mantlepiece. Graduating seniors of 1956 will be the newest grist for the global mill, and are honored in this book by placement at the front. While graduates of an earlier year debated and compromised among themselves, to modify the shocks inherent in existence, these seniors Q have prepared. This yearbook is designed to grant a moment of reprieve for busy men and women, to evoke a memory of an earlier time and place, A of preparation. 6

We Dedicate This '56 Bomb to James Il. Hilton RESIDENT James H. Hilton knows that a healthy educational institution, with an eye to the future, must plan for growth. The Bomb of l956 is dedicated to prexy Hilton as a tribute to his forceful handling of this neglected problem. Aware of the increasing demands made on the scholastic and social facilities of Iowa State College, Hilton donned seven-league boots and strode off to Iowa's Legislature with a concrete, consistant plan to meet these demands. The results of Hilton's planning and presentation are already evident on the campus. Students are now living in a new dormitory - West Gate. Linden Hall plans have been approved and the dorm is moving toward construction. Staif salary increases have allowed ISC to bid for, and hire, a con- tinuing high quality of educator. But Hilton hasn't stopped with these accomplishments. He has looked to the future, and is preparing to meet the almost doubled enrollment expected by 1970. This is the kind of thinking that builds a college. President Hilton has been here less than three years. We dedicate to the man, his accomplishments, and to his future plans for ISC. 5

ACKNOWLEDGMEN TS The staff of this 1956 Bomb pays tribute to the students and faculty , g whose aid and guidance, and co-operation played a vital role in this publication. The staff also wishes to bow a ' to the freelance photographers who assumed special assignments and carried them out so well! to writers not connected with the staff who volunteered their time and efforts toward the copy in this book. Innovations are hard to achieve, and only through the endless patience of posing groups was the new yearbook format possible.
