oreword A YEARBOOK should be like an old friend with whom you can sit down and talk about the things you did and the peo- ple you knew at college. Or it can be likened to a series of mirrors, each one reflecting some familiar face or scene. It is sad when a year dies and sadder still that it is so soon forgotten. But the years you have lived on this campus need never suffer such a fate, for we have tried to catch and record in this BLUE AND GOLD the whole procession of days and days that is a year the cigarette line in the Taproom, the Callaghan horn honking much, much too early, the eldritch pageant of the Army-Navy War Show, the marines who forsook our football team for Quantico and Parris Island, the faces of students the afternoon the teletype in Eshleman basement told us that our President was dead. The happy jollity of Froli-Cals and Proms and Brawls and Hops, the hopeless reality of midterms and deadlines and term papers and final exams are here. College is an experi- ence which does not bear forgetting. We hope this book will help you in the remembering of it.
