e oreworc! wi! infrovluce you fo fke Just what is the Melange? What is a college annual supposed to represent? The answer to this basic question has been expressed thousands of times, not in words, but in the visual form of a year' book. No two have been identical, for every editor has his own interpretation to express. We, the editors of the 1955 Melange, present the story as having a twoffold purpose, that of an annual report, and that of an everlasting reminder of deeper college memories. As an annual report, this volume contains an accurate record of events of the past school year. It will serve you, especially the graduates, as a compact file of classmates, their faces and their activities, of professors, in the classroom and in college life, of organizations, service and fraternal, and of records, academic and athletic. As alumni, your yearbook will be the prime medium for reliving your life at college. The cumulation of all activity occurf ring at Lafayette during the recent year is here before you. However, the memories you will cherish for your alma mater cannot all be accumulated between the covers of an annual report. It is our hope, therefore, that the 1955 Melange will convey to you, both now and Hfty years hence, those intangible, indescribf able, unforgettable reveries of college life. Orientation, its confuf sion-rushing, its indecision-the football weekend, its excitement -the social weekend, its romance-final exam period, its exasperaf tion-graduation, its fulfillment-these can merely be touched by this volume, in the hope that they will invoke more deeper recollecf tion of the countless unmentioned campus incidents. Before you, then, is our twoffold literary production. Both phases of our story are told as one, developed around the three fundamental phases of college life: Curricular, ExtrafCurricular, and Competitive. The ideas we have expressed, tangible and inf tangible, all fall under the academics of the classroom, the activities of the campus, or the athletics of the playing fields. These three areas will pervade your personal interpretation of the l955 Melange.
