ntroducin a Tami Y recor . . AMILY ALBUMS HAVE THEIR PLACE IN EVERY HOME-an added elevation in baby's highchair, a source of embarassment when daughter's boyfriend comes to -call, an aid to reminiscing on a rainy night, a dust catcher in an attic corner. We dug into the archives, we delved into the files to find the pictures which would make the 1945 KEY a true family album. Marking the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of Bowling Green State University on its present site, the twenty-fourth edition of the KEY has been styled to recall, thirty years hence, scenes of the past thirty years, to provoke memories of this college year. The limitations of type are manyg we could little hope to record all the events of the past thirty years or preserve all of the thrills of this year for years to come. The pictures are meant to inspire a host of memories, the copy to be a permanent record, the captions to be reminders of the little things that made this year worth remembering. The Hag flew at half mast for thirty days this spring in tri- bute when the nation mourned the death of President Fmnklln D. Roosevelt, a member in spirit of every family. The class of 1945 had its world turned topsy-turvy before the freshman green wore off, with the declaration of war in 1941. That was the year the juke box in the Nest played We'll Meet Again with sad melancholy. Little was left of traditional campus life for the class as sopho- mores, but it was thrilling and not to be forgotten-that May morning when the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps men crammed their belongings into trunks and donned khaki instead of graduation garb. It was a little difficult as juniors to become accustomed to standing at attention for the striking of colors or having that precious Saturday morning sleep interrupted by the measured cadence of drilling cadets, Shock and jubilance alternately gripped the class as seniors, with the announcement of the president's death and victory in the European theater in May. We tried to cram every chuckle and every tear between the covers of this album, but we've neglected much. We trust memory to fill the vacant places-the spots whereonly you can remember how you felt and why. We wanted to give you something new in the way of yearbooksg we tried the unusual. You may like the KEY this way-you may not. Our hope is that the 1945 KEY, your album for this year, will always be a guide for remembering and never just an attic dust collector.
