The story of those years is sketched in the six sections of this anniversary Badger . . . but the emphasis is on today . . . for this is a record of your year. First, the residences . . . where you made your first friends and where you spend much of your time . . . Next, the activities which attracted you and provided outlets for your varied interests . . . Then, athletics, which are important to both participant and spectator as an expression of loyalty and spirit . . . The colleges and their administration, the classrooms and the professional groups where you listen, learn, and contribute, are next . . . A Then come the military groups which have become such an important part of our wartime life on the campus . . . And finally, the seniors, who this year complete their college careers but have many memories to take with them . . . All this is the story of 1945 . . . at Wisconsin.

There have been many changes in the last few years-the army and navy moved in, and our men Went to war. But the return to former days is beginning. The men's dormitories are still in the navy, but fraternity houses are be- ginning to come backf' and civilians, including returned servicemen, live in them or in small organ- ized houses around campus. We have more Women's residences this year than ever before. Chadbourne and Barnard came back to the gals after military service? Come along with us as we see pictures of our houses on the following pages. Resid nees 7
