WHAT Foreword We have attempted in the following pages to cover as many memorable events in the school year as time and our own limitations will allow. It always happens somewhere in the creation of a school annual that somebody or something has to be left out in spite of our utmost efforts to put them in. For those who wish, vital statistics too late for publication may be written in on the end papers of the book or elsewhere at the owner's pleasure. The format of the EI Camino this year is in modern style. We have been interested in the success of the simple layouts found in the contemporary picture magazines such as Life. Without the use of ornamental cropping and placement of pictures and copy, these magazines create their popularity by the vivid and imaginative content of their photographs and the pithiness of their captions. These attractive qualities are heightened by the large spread of each picture. Contemporary annuals are also tending towards the symbolic, abstract, and impersonal type of photograph, making use of the photographic essay for strong effects. ln college annuals this approach, of course, is more appreciated. We have imitated these modern trends in this annual to some extent, although we have included much of the conventional which we think is good. Since a yearbook is a picture album, we strove to give the theme: What Makes Loyola, proper balance. If a theme is given too much prominence, the book may lose its purpose: to illustrate people and things at Loyola in 1956. On the other hand, if a theme is lacking, the book loses its unity. We strove to avoid monotony in the pages of faculty and senior portraits by inserting snap shots con- taining human interest. Montage pictures of varsity athletes seemed popular, therefore we put forth the extra effort needed to include them. We used much natural light photography thanks to the skill of our cameramen. We hope that our E! Camino will be enioyed by everyone and that it will provide many pleasant memories in those days when the arm chair replaces the driver's seat and the gear shift becomes a cane.

Foiher Ford, S.J. Presiolenf THE PRES! DENT ,.---, :Ho ' it ii M15 O 145 foyofa Gzfigfi Safco! VIC! Vmiff E..i.l.vaiJ io, Amit, 6, o.i.i,.....u ff of 99-.mdmz My dear Seniors: It has been said that every life is unsatisfactory until its owner has made up his mind what to do with it. This statement is wholly true of man's primary vocation, the knowledge, love and service of God. There is an added satisfaction in having deterwined, in good time, one's secondary vocation, be it doctor or tradesman, lawyer or machinist, etc. This secondary vocation may be a livelihood, or a way of life, but it is not a 'life'. It is a means to an end, man's primary vocation, the glory of God. My dear Seniors, your faculty is deeply interested in you and in your future. Your particular career in life is important to them, surely. what matters most to them, however, is how you will live your lives relative to your eternal life. Through the intercession of the Blessed Mother, your faculty prays that our Lord shower His choicest blessings upon you. It prays that your motto, here, uAd Majorem Dei Gloriamu, will ever be your goal, the sum of your best aspirations and highest purpose, wherever you go, whatever you do. Sircerely in Christ, W Moss of The Holy Spirit begins The school yeor. an
