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.

It is seldom that a lonely moment is spent by the Clemson man that desires companionship. The wash buddy at the laundry, the helping hand on the drawing board, the bridge partner, the librarian, and pano- ramic view itself are all companions. It is these people that create within us a thank- fulness for life itself. Charity and helpful- ness are Clemson characteristics. Every man discovers these two in his first few weeks on campus. We have a common goal . . . the betterment of ourselves through the betterment of our college. We use every second of our lives con- tributing, sometimes unconsciously, to the growing personality of Clemson. She is sad when we are blue; she smiles when fortune comes our way. She is the very inspiration that catapults us through the entanglements of college life. 16
