V Bells were either worn on the wrist, around the neck or ankle or held in the hand. They ranged from huge ' cow bells to tiny sleigh bells. Sophomores won the spirit stick and victory was in the air. The victory, KCOHUTIUSCI' on page 122 spirit Hg sy,M h s xi T X el Q .V l a A C RX Q- I5 V3.8 'hw' L Q?55'Btr 5 Y 5 x . te.
