How Western Lives is the theme which seems to dominate the first section of the 1949 Brown and Gold and to make its way in a less obvious manner through the rest of the book. In these first few pages, we h ave attempted to show with pic- tures and cartoons the home life of Western ' s students while they are on campus. We have chosen representative people and representative situations and captured them on film. We have created typical ideas and presented them through fine line sketches. We have attempted to show the habitat of the average student — the dormi- tory, the off-campus house, the barracks, or the trailer camp. We have chosen to feature this side of the student ' s life since we believe that the student is most truly the student when relaxed in his room in an ardent discussion of class work, politics, or football with his closest associates, whether they be the fellows across the hall, the boys from his house, or his wife and child. This 44th annual edition of the Brown and Gold contains pictures and infor- mation from many sides of the student ' s life. His club and societ y affiliations, the athletic events and dances which he attends, and the individuals with whom he comes in contact are represented. We have planned this book so that each part of it might represent some aspect in the life of every student. We hope that in the years to come, the 1949 Brown and Gold will provide a true record of this year at Western. . -.. C- -CC- -CC : :; Shirley Oster, Editor : : : ; ; : ;: : :; 1949 Brown and Gold
