Ather+on Center is indeed the center of cannpus activity, both academic and recreational. In its bookstore students may purchase everything from candy to soap, and thumbtacks to textbooks. The cafe- teria and Campus Club fill Butler stomachs quite satisfactorily. The billiard and table tennis rooms pro- vide active relaxation for some students while others prefer an over-the-coffee-cup chat, or a hand of bridge between classes in the C-Club. Headquarters for extra-curricular activi- ties such as the DRIFT, B.I.S.A., Y.M. and Y.W.C.A., and Newman Club are found oh the third floor, along v Ith lounges and a reception room. A picture of life in the Center is the picture of the life of an average student; and a part of the Butler Picture we won ' t forget.

Besides classes, exams, mid-night study sessions, and regular school activities, there was another side to this PICTURE OF BUTLER, 1952 .. . one composed of little things that make college life a life we will remember. Of national importance to all of us was the death of King George of England and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. The campus coeds, looking for variety, brought forth two new hair styles. For those who still preferred the freedom of very short hair, there was the Poodle Cut; and those who let their tresses grow, turned to the Pony Tail. Fellows and girls alike wore white bucks and argyles, but the campus eds couldn ' t see following suit when the gals appeared in knee socks. Many a feminine student put her faith in the mustard seed charm which dangled from her watch band or bracelet. Butlerites whistled and hummed many current tunes as their popularity rose and faded; but everyone agreed that Johnny Ray ' s Cry was really all right. Love was not forgotten this year either. Practically every corner had its couple, and pinnings and engagements were recorded by the score. 16 ' ' ' i ::: Ge° pS '
