Foreword Growth—a highschooler's kaleidoscope of colorful, spirited ex- perience. Every worthy achievement in the variegated pattern on school life, transforming the daily routine, makes each individual different from the next. Under the many-hued impact of scholastic competition, dramatics, athletics, broadcasts. Catholic Action, stu- dent government, and retreat—every Ladislite is unique, changing and growing with each new situation. Our responses as a student body strikingly portray growth at St. Lad's, rooted in its traditions of two decades ago. Eager, energetic, freshmen are readily absorbed into the high school whirl. Self- confident, though oft bewildered sophomores, soon begin to realize their capabilities and limitations. More experienced, fun- loving juniors face the exciting challenge of goals that the search for knowledge sets before them. The seniors, with a dash of maturity and the underslassmen's buoyancy, rise to full stature to face the indefinite shadows of the future. They have yet to realize that the only real progress is that which involves the progress of self. Aglow with wisdom and grace, they advance that, as masters of themselves, they might lead others on the charted course of life. Lads and Lassies, we seniors hold high the Torch of 1956. It casts light on our talents and ambitions, our expectations and fail- ures, our triumphs and achievements. Herein begins the measure of OUR growth . . Unto every one of us is given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. (Ephesians IV, 7) 2
