The tower on Keeny! What memories it recalls for each of us. The chiming of the clock calls us to classes, meetings, and social activities. I his familiar sound, somehow unforgetable, sounds the bugle call every morning and even calls curfew. The chiming is one of the many things that will always mean Tech to us. We, the 1955 Lagniappe staff, have endeavored to reflect the life of all the students, emphasizing those things that mean “Tech.” Sincerely hoping that you will look back over your college days with pleasant memories, we have attempted to portray campus life as we have lived it. The staff presents this edition of the Lagniappe, hoping that in years to come, it will rekindle in your memory the many things that meant “ 1 ech to you. We feel sure that the beckoning call from the tower on Keeny and the Alma Mater will always remind you of your pleasant experiences at Lech. “O Tech thy halls so beautiful Thy pleasant walks, thy noble trees, That charmed me in my college days Are ever dear to me.” tents c L A S S E S F E A T U R E s A C T 1 V 1 T 1 E s A T H L E T 1C s G R LU LU s O R G AN I Z AT I ON S R. L. Ropp PRESIDENT a message from the President I Dear Tech Students: As has been my policy in the past in presenting this annual message to you through the medium of the Lagniappe, I wish again to express appreciation for the cordial feeling and kindly attitude exhibited by all of you. Truly, you have demonstrated to the fullest extent that Tech is “The Friendliest College Campus in the South.” Although a feeling of uneasiness still prevails throughout the world and momentous problems both at home and abroad are facing us, we presently can view the future with more confidence than has been our fortune in the last few years. It is our fervent hope and prayer that peace shall continue to reign over all mankind. In many respects this has been a banner year for us at Tech. Among the highlights marking our progress the following may be listed: the largest freshman class in the history of the college, completion of the new infirmary, starting the construction of a new $1,500,000 science building and two new student religious organization centers, good records by our athletic teams and forensic squads, strengthening of the teaching staff, national accreditation of one department, and enrichment of the curricula in various areas. Remembering always that it is a privilege to live in a country like ours and work in harmony, let us pledge ourselves anew to take advantage of every opportunity to prepare ourselves for whatever challenge the years ahead may hold for us. Faithfully yours, R. L. ROPP, President. Sounding a distinct tone, the clock on Keeny calls us to classes in three of the main buildings of the college. Keeny Hall, above, is the administration building. A. E. Phillips Elementary School is at the tipper right, and the engineering building, Bogard Hall, the lower right. HUH Living in Adams Hall, below, the senior girls’ dormitory, is one of the things that under¬ class women anxiously anticipate. Girls entering Tech move in Harper Hall, left. Later they move to Sophomore Hall and then to Aswell Hall, lower right, and finally to Adams. Thatcher Hall, left, and Rob¬ inson Hall, right, are two of the boys’ dormitories. A familiar place to all the stu¬ dents is the Dining Hall, below. Memorial Gymnasium, left, Prescott Memorial Library, below, and Howard Auditorium, right, are three representative buildings of our campus life. As clear notes of Keeny beckon us, we turn to these places for necessary study, play and educational entertainment. i—jjj !■■■ hiSI nir Mf Uni CHEMISTRY BUILDING JOHN B.

FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES Freshman activities at Tech begin on the day the new Techsters arrive. They are welcomed to the campus and then become a part of a w r ell-organized program in which they are taken to teas in the afternoon where they meet the professors, and to parties and dances at night where they meet other freshmen. The Ruston Chamber of Commerce welcomes them to the city of Ruston by holding a jamboree in their honor. After the capping ceremony for girls, all freshmen become full-fledged Tech “pups”. Climaxed by Freshman Week, w r hen they are required to wear costumes to class, the activities make up a never- to-be-forgotten experience. Just like Vogue models. Showing off our kiddie refinery. Look now, Mama. Freshmen enjoying refreshments at Ruston Chamber of Commerce jamboree. Children must play. Tech “movie stars” dressed for class. Latest fashions for the college set.
