FOREWORD In the pages which follow we have attempted to preserve in picture and in print something of Pitt as we have known her this first post-war year. The war was over. V-E and V-J Day were fast becoming memories. We were entering a new era. This era, this first post-war year at Pitt was her chance to make her back-to-normal advances. Gone was the black paint that had darkened the Oakland view from the cathedral windows; the air raid drills with the buckets of sand and their in case of air raid signs; the air corps and the AST's and finally Co. C at Christmas; gone too were the days when the Tuck Shop looked as though this was the University of Pittsburgh for women. Returned now were hundreds of veterans; big time politics, a vets review that gave promise of cap and gown shows to come; formals with favors; crowded Tuck Shops; again a ratio of five men to one woman; spring festival with its pre-war elaborateness; classes on the second and third floors; the marching band at football games; inactive fraternities and organizations; stag lines at the Get Acquainted dances. Pitt was on the road back-to-normal, and with this theme in mind the staff set out to keep alive the memory of Pitt's first back-to-normal year. And so, if in future years a word herein suggests a happy memory or a face recalls a friend; if a scene revives old surroundings or a snapshot brings back a vivid incident of these student days; then this book shall have accomplished its purpose.
