The students of Sweet Briar Col- lege will testify on behalf of the class of 1957. We have shared their classes, their ideas, and their in- terests in graduate study, research, and teaching. We approve of their academic pursuits and their intellectual ambitions. We have enjoyed their originality, spirit, and organizational ability. We applaud their freshman pro- duction of Gullible ' s Travels, their May Day on a southern plantation, their Briar Patch, of Sweet Briar, Then and Now, and their senior presentation of Grev Flannel Hearts. Versatility and variety are represented by the class of ' 57. They combined tradition, by living in Gray, with in- novation, by living in William Bland Dew. A record group of thirteen studied in Europe during their junior year and brought back stimulating ideas. They were the first senior class to keep cars on campus all year, and we appreciate their mature acceptance of responsibility. This was a gay class. They enjoyed all phases of col- lege life, including Friday night dinners with the Raw- leys, step-singing on the Golden Stairs, coffee on the arcade after breakfast, and THE RING GAME (played frequently) . Once again, the herald calls for silence. The jury an- nounces its decision. The Class of 1957 has been tried and has been found to have successfully completed their college career. We send them into the world with a great deal of confidence and hope for the future, and with not a little sadness, knowing how much we will miss them next year. 27 • » t
