1940 State Champs Tigers display outstanding sports First football conference in 1938 A Tech team did the impossible despite a severe handicap: 1940 Tech cagers won the State Champion- ship by a margin of 12 points, at a time when Tech was without physical education facilities. A great story can be made of this team, but one thing must be said: they best exemplified teamwork and good sportsmanship. These traditions were the guiding rule as early as the first sign of sports at Tech. That was in the Spring of ’24 when two senior boys got permission from Mr. Barrows, the director, to start a football team. These traditions remained as every new sport was added, despite the hardships of improving facilities and of traveling distances to practice areas, common right up to 1951 when Tech moved to Sohl Street and got its own physical education plant. 24

Homecoming bonfire warmed the spirits of the Tech Tigers before an important game. A big part of Tech’s tradition is the Prom. A part of education, it includes the realization that formal situations demand special ways to act, talk, and dress. Homecoming activities for Tech began in 1953. Over ninety cars entered the Homecoming parade. Tigers Go, Fight, Win, Tonight! was one of the winning entries. Tradition followed after the parade, when the crowd met in back of Tech for the bonfire. Students always enjoy themselves at the Homecoming Dance following the foot- ball game. Styles and dances to suit the times! 23
