its phases

people Meeting friends, cheering loudly, sharing the excitement of wanting to win . . . rejoicing together over victory, or jserhaps sharing the disappointments of defeat . . . These are the things which unite us and give us a sense of school spirit. Our Indian, Chief Robertson, pictured above repre- sents the way we all feel ... a desire to be victorious. He is a traditional symbol of our spirit and excitement. But the true reward comes not in a victorious game but rather in the closeness and spirit which are created as a result of this mutual desire to win. Whether or not we win or lose will soon be forgotten, but the fun and excite- ment we shared in reaching that victory or defeat will always be remembered.

The phases of college life are many, mixed and mingled with human emotions, desires and individual goals. SomC ' times there are seemingly endless responsibilities and frus- trations ... an assignment due, a speech to write, a novel to read, the pressure builds . . . But finally, ultimately sue cess is reached ... or perhaps failure. A serious moment, despondent mood, a bitter disappointment . . . but these times pass, and happy, shining faces emerge from the dark corners of struggle and pursuit. All these things go into campus life and are an important part of learning, growing and living. Collected together here are the many, all striv- ing, each in his own way, to success, sharing the pleasures of life and bearing the humiliations of failure and disap- pointment. These are the phases of college life and each represents an important part in the process of maturing.
