Clemson University - Taps Yearbook (Clemson, SC)

Time passes and the rat enters politics, joins student organizations, pledges the fraternity of his choice, works on publications . . . and begins to see the inside workings of the school. There are those too, that do not take a part in extra-curricular activi- ties but work and make outstanding academic rec- ords, or travel every weekend to the girl back home. Pepsi bottles accumulate, deadlines are met, quarters are obtained from the infirmary on drill day, quizzes are passed and failed, grades go up and go down, dear john letters are read over the Chicago radio stations, Marlboro tops become valuable assets, the twist and slop become favorites at parties, and the yellow shirt joins the weeians as a standard for dress. 27

Miami discovers what the spirit of Clemson can mean as green dragons hit the road for conventions; Columbia too discovers when student legislature takes the toll on class attendance. Assemblies, meet- ings and retreats are popular among students for a relaxed weekend away from the grind. Faces appear — some only once, but many over again — faces at the Carolina Cup , ZTA open house in Gainesville, weddings, the Bastille on Dogwood Lane, and the physics classes. A year, four or maybe six and you are out — one way or another. The line at the drug store on the day that seniors get their rings . . . movinq into the prefab . . . waiting for a pop-quiz . . . these are but a few of the remem- brances — a part of Clemson life that cannot be replaced or repaired. Years will go into the past and Clemson will grow, but it will be hard to picture a college career more enjoyable than th e one the Clemson man ends when Dr. Edwards hands him his sheepskin. 28
