rhe Student Body Spirit Adapts for Any Situation Perhaps the spirit of the student body is one of the most time-honored traditions at Georgia Tech. Undaunted by any rigors the school can throw at them, the students strove to do their best no matter what the situation. Even though the football team was floundering on the gridiron, the fans in the student section still screamed as loudly as ever. The freshmen quickly got caught up in the excitement by participating in the traditional Homecoming events such as the freshman cake race and the grueling Mini 500 Tricycle Race. The Tech student quickly adapted himself to any environment or situation. Whether sliding down an icy hill or wallowing in the mud of the tug-o-war pit, he upheld the age old tradition of striving for excellence to the best of his ability.

The spirit of Georgia Tech affects both students and alumni in that there is a strong camaraderie developed through years of com- mon struggle. At graduation we rejoice in the fact that a goal has been attained, a future assured. This spirit does not wilt but rather springs forth again and again. Georgia Tech is not just a name on a diploma, rather it is a symbol of accomplishments. There is a sense of pride that is seen in the student spirit and the annual pilgrimage of the alumni to the North Avenue Trade School in the fall. The ever-faithful return to watch the Homecoming events and reflect upon the past. We never really leave Tech, there is the special memory, the remem- brance that we take along as we seek future goals. The traditions, which have aged and evolved with the passage of time, serve to strengthen those memories. Tradition 13
