were doing . . . It ' s you and what was probably your first taste of politics and public service, college variety. Or maybe you gave something to the Compus Chest, or sot in on o 4 o ' clock lecture at the Y. Whatever you were think- ing . . . So we ' ve put as many of you ond your activities in this book as space allowed. Space (a thousand maddening problems in one) has been our biggest worry. There were so many bits of Washingtonio: Our once-lovely campus, this year turned into more than 600 acres of pits and dirt heaps and mud puddles . . . the adminis- tration and the faculty, probably as able as the university ever had . . . the machinery of student government . . . the push behind service organizations . . . the smell of Clark hiall coffee (wish we could hove put that in!) . . . George Bailey making with the Chimes (see page 8) . . . the Queens and Sweet- hearts and Dream Girls . . . Mt. Rainier, on a clear day . . . committee meetings and three-hour lobs . . . arranging aerial views of the campus, so we could show you the changing scene . . . the porcorn wagons . . . the mob at football and basketball gomes (wonderful thing, television) . . . the local bistros, with added glamor this spring . . . the othletes — cheered and cursed . . . card stunts ond pom-poms . . . rainy days and rowing talk . . . the Dorms and Greek Row and the veterons ' halls . . . spring flowers and graduation . . . We had other worries, too — far too many of them to list. But we finished the looking- glass, hlove a look. You ' ll find In these pages nothing that Isn ' t typical of Washington, nothing that does not somehow represent — whether this happens to be your first reading or your fiftieth — the university year 1 948-49. Frankly, we set out to conjure up some memories. The year just ended was woi th remembering. With a fifty-year perspective in our Golden Jubilee edition we hope we ' ve done the memory justice. —The Staff

F. ore v oFcl IN FASHIONING A FINE MIRROR, a man- ufocturer (we imagine) troubles himself with problems of refraction, chemical properties of the glass, the type and quality of the frame, and such. You ' d never guess it, but we ' ve done the same (well — almost) with this yearbook you ' re reading. We ' ve tried to conceive and then publish a TYEE that would reflect this school year with faithful accuracy and with all its many-colored background. We want- ed to catch the wlll-o ' -the-wlsp spirit of the university. Because this is a rather special edition, we ' ve tried to make this the best mirror we could. TYEE 1949, as perhaps you sow on the cover, is the fiftieth recording of the univer- sity ' s modern history. We ' ve dressed up this birthday volume to fit the occasion. But that ' s OS far as it goes. From there on, it ' s oil yours. Let ' s repeat that: this is your TYEE. It ' s not the stoff ' s yearbook, though we ' ve thoroughly enjoyed working on It. Nor Is it the university ' s, though o child of the university. No . . . TYEE belongs to the students — because, you see, it is the stu- dents. It ' s you, whether you ' re from West Seat- tle, Pakistan, or Cowlitz County. Wherever you ' re from . . . It ' s you when you were staring at textbook pages, when you were jammed in the Pavilion for a basketball gome, when you were having a cup of coffee on the Ave. Whatever you
