SUMMING IT UP . . . This is the class of ' 55 — in ils headlines, be- hind its headlines, and between the lines. These are the pieces which, when assembled, form the picture of our class. Each of us, however, will put the pieces together in a different way. When our respective pic- tures are formed, they will each reflect a part of our personal experience. The combining of these indi- vidual impressions results in a composite picture of our class. This is our history. Thus, in its maturity, the class of 1955 passes from the pages of the News.
