po eeao ict Our first steps faltering, our next taken with mounting assurance, we, the class of 1956, have gradually climbed to the first exalted place on the ladder of learning. With perseverance and determination, we have climbed steadily, round by round, keeping as our goal the attainment of wisdom, knowledge and a philosophy of life. With the realization that our success has been de- pendent upon establishing a firm foothold, we have ascended carefully, not into empty space, but upon the security of each step. The rungs on this lad- der of learning have been each book which has yielded to us the richness of its store. Although the art of reading is apparently becoming almost lost in the rush and bustle of this electronic age which has brought with it the new media of radio, television, and motion pictures, the magic of the printed word has lost none of its power. With the hope that through a revival of this art, we may utilize each rung on the ladder of learning to its fullest advantage, we have chosen BOOKS as the theme of our 1956 TIOT. We earnestly hope that you will forever cherish this product of our labors, and that it will always bring fondest memories of the genuine happiness enjoyed in your three years on the hill! We, the editors, present to you the last book of your carefree youth and the first book of your maturity. For books are more than books; they are the life, The very heart and core of ages past, The reason why men lived and worked and died, The essence and quintessence of their lives.
