Tradition and events We go through the every-day monotony. Among this rushing there comes a time tor planning and participating. Each personality becomes involved. Some may plan while others choose only to participate. The growing enthusiasm of Homecoming draws the most shy student into its over-whelming atmosphere of pride and hopeful victory. The musical talents and ambitions of students are brought forward. Many students further their knowledge of other places and people by attending the annual New York-Washington Tour. As students become seniors they plan the plays and parties which remain a constant reminder of the work and pleasure that went with being Tech seniors. Along the line comes a time for fantasy. Prom brings the atmosphere of high hopes and plans so true for certain youth. Yet all is brought back to reality as we find ourselves in caps and gowns leaving the dream world and entering a world of future plans and stabilized decisions. No longer do we participate in the fun of activities. We must leave them behind. Activities which let us be a part. And the school which will remain a continuous part of our lives.
