FUHEWUIHJ i HE passing of the Depression has witnessed a return to moderation and to an appreciation of quality in living. The moderation of the past few years is now an integral part of our life. This mood is reflected in life at Penn State with emphasis on more formality, a keener appreciation of life and its meaning, as well as a demand for security. This 1937 La Vie attempts to capture these elements of today's student life by presenting a formal picture seen through the eyes of our students. La Vie does this by celebrating its significant fiftieth birthday in today's manner, though our celebration is mellowed by the dignity of the Family Album of the eighteen- nineties. Although the numbering of these volumes is not consistent with the actual years intervening, it conforms to the volume number of the recent books, which was changed by the transition from a Junior Yearbook to a Senior Yearbook. One or two unin- tentional errors in numbering also contribute to this inconsistency. The Staff of the 1937 La Vie has preserved for the Class an accurate record of all that went into the making of its life at Penn State. It presents the fiftieth volume of La Vie to the Class of 1937 with the hope that it pleases both them and those who labored a half century ago to begin the tradition of La Vie.
