' 11 Bfj 3, L : ■ c ■ 10 P fi • ; far m Recreation is growth ... a growth of enduring friendships, of everlast- ing memories, of broadening per- sonalities. Whether we spend our free time at the dance, browsing through the Book Store, talking to a favorite girl, or simply taking the pleasant stroll across campus, we develop ourselves to live in the existing social world. It has been said that true education cannot be excavated from a textbook. We know that this is true. With the understanding that facts and con- cepts must be studied from the works of others, we still see the importance of campus life. If we are to take advantage of our many contacts in life, we must reach out and join them. The social life at Clemson is growing through fra- ternities, sororities, professional or- ganizations and service groups. Friendships and comradeship en- joyed during our four years at Clemson will always reign supreme among our most cherished memo- ries. Yes, the college is the people. 12

Togetherness is growth ... a spiritual growth that is evidenced by the anxiety of football games, the excitement of pep rallies, the serenity given to our honored ones, and by the pure emotion- alism displayed at the first note of Tiger Rag, or the mention of death valley. The spirit of Clemson men is known throughout the south. How did it develop? What is the binding force? Is it simply a love of fellow man that the college instills in the students? Yes, it is a love; a love for Clemson and all that goes with it . . . for the athletic teams, the traditions, the joyous times spent together, the trips taken with fellow stu- dents, the professors, the administration. All of these make up the Clemson Spirit. This spirit is the sharing of joy, sorrow, enthusiasm and a common goal . . . the betterment of Clemson.
