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 '

REGISTRATION . . . meant taking the day off to stand in line and fill out cards in order to put yourself through the agony of an- other semester. You thought up new ways to register early. You hustled back and forth trying to convince your adviser that you really didn ' t need that certain class. You filled out cards until you thought you ' d scream if you saw another one. You had your picture taken for that flatter- ing ID card. And you stood in line, and stood in line. But while you were standing in line you realized that this was only one day of a semester, and that school really was fun. Last but not least was the Bursar ' s desk. But after all it was the end of the lines. 18
