j5outI]foestern Pnifrersiig May 3, 1956 On the wide lawned campus here at Southwestern is enacted a drama of youth: of carefree hours spent among friends, of fruitful hours spent in satisfying study, of heartaches, of joys. Here is a pattern for living. When one recalls Southwestern he remembers many things — things which touch the heartstrings and bring forth the reminiscent music of happy moments plucked from cadenzas of serious thought, bouyant friendships, poignant griefs, ever-widening horizons, peace, and rest- ful security. Southwestern is more than all of these, more than the buildings, more than the people — it is a tradition, and an ideal. My dear Fellow Students: Recorded In the SOU ' WESTER of 1956 are the campus scenes, personalities, and events depicting the highlights of the year. Here is a record of student and faculty experiences that will become increasingly significant to you as the years pass. As you turn through these pages, they will recall the many happy and pleasant experiences you en- joyed as a student at Southwestern. Your faculty and I join with the SOU ' WESTER staff in expressing the hope that this year ' s annual will be a reminder of the dreams, hopes, and aspirations during a vital time in your life. We join in ex- pressing the hope for those who are graduating that life may be rich and abundant, and for those yet to graduate that you may have other years of great satisfaction on the campus here at Southwestern. Sincerely yours, WCF.mb William C. Finch THE KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY IOTA CHAPTER 3GORGETOWN. TEXAS May 21, 1956 Dear Faculty and Students: A young persons life lies ahead of him. For this reason perhaps we are less interested in what has been done than what can be done; our affections are aroused less by the traditional than by the experi- mental. When old Father Time has spread his mantle over our college days and has donned new garments, we hope that this 1956 Sou ' Wester will always serve as a reflector of the pood by-pone days. Getting out an annual is no picnic ' .! If we print jokes, folks say we are silly — if we don ' t, they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety — if we don ' t, they say we are too lazy to write. If we stay in the annual off- ice, we ought to be out rustling news, if we are out rustling news, we are not attending to business in the office. The earnest vilsh of my staff is that we have made few mistakes and that you take as much de- light in the 1956 Sou ' Wester as we have had in bring- ing it to you. We hope thst the theme of the annual, the Chapel windows, will serve as an inspiration for you, both today and the days to come. If oniy the shady walks might tell the secrets which their sympathetic ears have heard ; if only the buildings might share the whispered dreams, and the confidence which comes with knowledge. The years will never erase these memories, for they are as indelible as time. As the moonlight comes over the Ad Building, etching in gentle relief the stone towers and ivy covered walls that have seen generation after generation pass by in search of a future. On this our campus is built an institution; on this campus is built a hope — to give each student, outside the realm of degrees and teachers ' certificates, an intangible guidepost for the future.
