FORE ORD Erom the time that a young, inexperienced sophomore enters Lamar to the time that he grad uates, he is consciousof that something extra which is outstanding at his Alma Mater. Perhaps, it is exident in the student body, or in the School pride, or in the fact that other schools consider Lamar the school to beat. At any rate, he endeav ors hard to maintain that prile which has heen won, and swells with pride when he hears that familiar expression, You'd Know lt's Lamar! in refer- ence to some excelling phase of student activity. The school year of 1955-56 has drawn to a close, and with it the activities of its classes, its clubs, and its competitive teams. Proud moments are now but memories. Your Oreudn staff has made its goal to record for you in form as accurate and as acute as possible this record for the year. Long live these golden moments and that institution which housed them so -well Lamar High School!
