0l 8 WUI' 1946-a year that crackles with intensity on every side! We begin an era of what we hope will be peace, we graduate a class into a world full of opportunity and challenge, we are forced to face problems of rehabilitation, not only of returned fighting men, but of ourselves, we find, suddenly, that the coming of peace has not ended our problems--rather, forced us' to face new ones. - 1946 brings us promise-wof normal living, cars, gasoline, civilian students, football, refrigerators, butter, unrationed shoes and, eventually, sugar. We sigh a great sigh of relief, we feel free again, we have no more worries, we tell ourselves confidently. We work, we play, we are serious at times, we are foolish at times, we ,laugh and we cry, we gripe and we gloat, because we are humanhbecause we love life. We hope maybe we have caught you when you were unaware of us-maybe in a photograph, maybe in a write-up, for we probably caught the real you, then, Perhaps it was a carefree moment, perhaps it was a sober moment, but it was you, nevertheless. 1946-another year at Central has passed. Whatever it has been, we have tried to portray it to you, not without a note of seriousness, but trying not to lose sight of the flippant something which makes college what it is. 1946-even as this book goes to press, the world awaits tensely the out- come of meetings and decisions which will influence the lives of those who form a part of the same. And we are a part of this world. Page 6
