WE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING OUR THEME w, have tried to edit this volume of The Owl with a good-natured, tongue-in-cheek, modern treatment. The formalities of dedications and editorials have become passe. But we do, here, want to explain the significance of our theme. Polly and Peter represent more than just a publicity stunt. In portraying them, we strike our only serious vein. They personify the real students of the University of Pittsburgh, not necessarily the bookworms nor the heads of activities. Rather they are the normal and average healthily-successful man and woman. They are the sincere and the modest, but not the ideal. Yes, they might cut a class in the springtime to lie on the Cathedral lawn to discuss campus political gossip; they might violate an occasional regulation. But in them we find no traces of the superficial, only the sincere. In these pages we shall find them behind every photograph and paragraph they are the type of student that make us proud to call Pitt our Alma Mater.

R S T DAYS grand knock-about summer on that day in September and Peter Pitt walked up the campus to register for their last year at the University. From then on it was a mad scramble: hearty hand-shakes, smiling tanned faces, beaming professors without that tired look. In the midst of registration we find them together at the desk of a professor-to-be. Not too early to polish a few apples. Early Fall ceremonies such as the Druid Smoker and Lantern Night separated Polly and Peter temporarily. Wc did snap them, though, white shoes and all, at the Screwball Hop which heralded the Fall social season.
