AMPUS For the first time in tive years, men again outnumber women on the Southwestern campus, and this time it is two to one. About fifty per cent of the students are re- turned service men attending school under the provisions of the G.I. Bill. The increase in manpower is felt in many ways: in the revived football program and the resumption of CIAC basketball competition after last year's unoflicial play, in the classes where the great majority of the students are men, and primarily in the social happenings on the hill. The girls did a magnihcent job of carrying the spirit of the Jinx onward through the war years f keeping alive societies and clubs, school loyalty and pep, but they were happy to relinquish a large share of the responsibility to the men as they returned to Southwestern.

Yca Builder Fight' Lheerleadeis 'Nlalilyn Nlclxlew, Phil Stansifer. Billie Youn Linton Smith and Elvira Schrag promote pep at the Homecoming game AGA -PEI Although 1945-46, the first postwar year, saw a rising tide of school spirit, it took this past year of '46-'47 to bring to Hoodtide the pep and school loyalty for which Southwestern is known. Football games and a winning team which strode on to conference championship, a big Homecoming with fa- miliar but long absent faces, a successful parade, a victory over Washburn, and a memorable danceg basketball games we so nearly won, the tremendous ovation given the Pur- ple live as they left the floor with their second win of the season from our ancient rivals, Wichita U. - and with a school holiday for the students, the crowds of students in the halls, at the drug, on the bus - all these contribu- ted to a hue spirit which gaily survived victories and de- feats alike. 1 i 'tt
