With a war over in Korea hanging over our heads, times have been hectic. Producing the I952 Savitar hasn't always been easy. Yet, after a full year's work in planning, doing research, writing, and tackling the vast number of small tasks that fZ 'W' ,fa it f X' go into the making of a school yearbook-we couldn't help but enjoy it, Not only did we learn a lot about Mizzou, but also we learned to love it even more. Now that it is May, l952, we are pleased to present you with this account of the year's hap- penings at MU. For the nostalgic senior the I952 Sauitar will hold memories of four years. For them especially and for all students, Savitar represents a record of a single important year of progress toward their immediate goal-graduation.

God Sauitar comes toward us on his golden chariot, surveying all creatures. To him are addressed the verses, 'Holiest of All the Veda? May the golden-eyed Sauitar come hither, ' Shining forth he rises from the lap of the dawn, Praised by singers, he, my god, Sauitar, Stepped forth and never missed his place. fied .X S -.
