Hot September days . . . returning Techites buzzing with news of summer vacations . . . the picnic atmo- sphere of lunchtime lounging on campus benches . . . the mild hubbub of crowds thronging the tomblike cool- ness of the Arsenal basement to line up at the Book- store . . . these present a picture of Tech at the opening of the school year. The gaiety of the Football Jamboree has hardly sub- sided when plans for the Mardi Gras begin to grow. Techites and their families, returning alumni, and teachers jostle about in the colorful Boys' Gym en- joying an evening of fun. Then follows a busy time-the grim reality of report cards, followed the same day by homecoming. Senior sponsor rooms compete in the construction of floats proclaiming our determination to beat Washington, our football foe of the evening. Pupils take two days off for the Indiana State Teach- ers Association when pupils enjoy seeing teachers go to school. Then, with hardly a breathing space, we celebrate Veterans Day with its downtown parade in which the ROTC cadets and sponsors march in military review. Now the exciting basketball season begins, and loyal Techites turn out to cheer the team to victory. December follows quickly, and the days fly by in hurried preparations for Christmas. Secret plans and club meetings herald the many seasonal activities with the SAO Christmas Dinner highlighting the festive season. The New Year then blows in with a taste of Indiana blizzard. After finals, the semester ends, and students rest from weeks of concentrated study. Then comes the all-school variety show, the Sketch- book, with an enthusiastic performance by all. With the month of April a new trend is started: warmer weather, and the new bright attitudes of stu- dents. The lVlilitary Ball highlights the social calendar for April, and the track and baseball seasons begin. In May trees become green again, flowers blossom, and the beauties of the Tech campus cheer the busy routine as the school year nears a close. Tech juniors revel in the prom. To seniors June means excitement-Vespers, Com- mencement, the Senior Picnic. and, of course, the Senior Prom. June means sadness as Tech days shorten, as seniors say good-bye to the routine they have fol- lowed for four years, good-bye to days they can never share again. But June means new beginnings, too, a challenge to graduates, and anticipation for the seniors of tomorrow looking forward already to the opening of a new school year. Trcadwcll Hall
