Foreword In one sense, with the opening of the 1954-55 school year a new era began for Harding - an era in which the school is fully accredited and in which a lovely campus and excellent educational fa cilities are a reality. Yet even though the school has progressed until the campus is hardly recognizable to returning alumni and although styles may have changed during the past thirty-one years, life at Harding in many ways has not changed . That long line for lunch; the work and fun that goes with a club banquet; those r,esolutions to study early "this" semester followed weeks later by last minute cramming; hymn sings around the lily pool on a starlit night; class and chapel periods that inspire us to serve others - these things do not ch ange. To keep fresh th e memories of such events, to preserve the faces of fri ends as they are today, to ca tch and hold a small part of life at Harding in the year 1955 - this is the purpose of The Petit Jean. If this goal is achieved, it will be for the Petit Jean staff, as this year h as been for the college and for many of h er students, truly. 2
