It seems that, whenever man has wanted to preserve something, he has recorded it in a book. We are trying to preserve for you the 1956-57 year at Stephen F. Austin State College; thus we give you the ' 57 Stone Fort. We, the staff, hope that in the years to come this annual will bring back the fun- filled memories of a college year. These pages are our meager attempt to preserve for posterity the highlights of one year at S.F.A. This book is what might be termed a transition into a bigger and better annual for your college. Henceforth, the Stone Fort will contain the events from March of one school year to the March of another. This will allow the spring sports and events to be included in the annual. This book attempts to catch the most important moments of last spring in both the sports and social spheres, but we were somewhat handicapped in the picture department. We ask you to keep in mind that we worked with what we had. The putting together of a yearbook is a tedious task. We lost pictures, forgot to get pictures made, put pictures on incorrect pages; we did everything wrong that a person could possibly do. BUT, we redid it, and in good faith we are saying (with bated breath) that we believe that most of our wrongs have been righted. Special thanks go to Mr. Robinson, who never complained of our terrible picture- shooting schedule; to Mr. Gaston, who never became angry at our tardiness in getting things in on time; and to all those wonderful people who kept popping in and out of the office to give us a laugh when we needed one most. The ' 57 Stone Fort was ours. A lot of hard work and a lot of good fun went into its making. Yes, it was ours, but now it is yours. We hope you like it! Betty Ann Yarborough Stone Fort Editor
