the 1955 agromeck Nineteen fifty-five . . . what is it? To the students of North Carolina State College it ' s more than just a year; more than mere passage of time. It ' s a step forward, a step in our progress from being just plain kids to being capable of leading our fellow man and helping to shape and to share the destiny of the world. It ' s been a year of study, fun, worry and responsibility. The world has revolved many times; a great deal has happened —and some of it happened elsewhere than at State College. This edition of AGROMECK is going to tell the story of last year-1954-55. It ' s not going to merely list the events, however. That means nothing; but it ' s going to show the gaiety . . . the study . . . the sadness . . . the companionship of the past year .. . as it affected you individually, State College in particular, and North Carolina and the United States in general. Your AGROMECK represents your mark in your college days. If you remember . . . THAT ' S HOW IT WAS . . . in 1955 at North Carolina State College in Raleigh, North Carolina, U. S. A.
