' 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

We grow through abstractions . . . abstractions that depict to us a way of life. The ever-existing problems and wonderful pleasures that make up our everyday life at Clemson can be stated through these minute symbols. The barren oak, the tin tiger, the parking sign, old Tom Clemson; they have become part of us. As we gaze across the ocean of concrete, we can visualize the un- known realms that lie ahead and be thankful for all that we have gained; for all the cherished moments that the past years have bestowed upon us. The heritage of the past century has been passed on to each and every Clemson man . . . to enjoy and to cherish within himself. In Clemson ' s isolation, a new world has been opened to us. Though it appeared to be only a small college in a lazy community, we soon real- ized the tremendous influence that each minute symbol and part can play on our way of thinking, of living. Yes, the way of Clemson.
