SIGHTS and SOUNDS 1954-1955 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of b elief, it was the epoch of in- credulity; it was the Spring of hope, it was the Winter of despair; it was the season of light, it ivas the season of darkness; we had everything before us, we had noth- ing before us; we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way. — A Tale of Two Cities THE 1954-1955 scrapbook of sights and sounds re- corded heroism and cowardice, courage and futility, record-breaking feats and complete frustration. The year was an entity out of time, important intrinsically and as a minute part of an age. Its sights were graphic, its sounds were sometimes pleasant, often harsh. Each of us has heard the roar of the ocean in a seashell far removed from any beach. The editors hope that the reader who picks up this scrapbook years from now, will find that in much the same way it will bridge the gap of time and distance from Yale, that years and miles will fade in capturing again the sights, sounds and emotions of a crucial year.
