nn nn a ee me ¥ The mysteries of spring unveiled themselves to the mighty movements of baseball, golf, tennis, track and other spring sports. Captured by the pleasure in a hard new bat, a colored tee, a white fuzzy tennis ball or new cleats, our athletes led the way to heights of sportsmanship and glory. Whether playing in intramural athletics or school competition, physical heroes displayed their strength. Future Sam Sneads and Ben Hogans also displayed their talents as did the followers of swimming, track and a variety of other endeavors. Fore! The expansion of an empty diamond awaited the forthcoming spring.

We Played Sunlight filtered down upon the stadium, the crowd cheered, and a perfect football day was in progress . . . what better setting could the sport’s lover ask? Many times, the team garnered the wrong end of the score, but there were other times when happiness reigned over the victorious Sycamores. Quiet enveloped the stadium when the sports scene shifted to the hardwood floor as the basketball season produced the usual “Hoosier Hysteria” among the ardent boosters. Collegian participation in sports didn’t end on the playing field. It’s a long shot! 12

We Worked As if implying that classses don’t require enough effort, many of us spent our “spare time” holding jobs. The college student is known for his demands on parents, for his loafing ways, and for his complete unwillingness to work. We were living examples that this picture was not a true one as many of us worked twenty to forty hours a week at various occupations. Some students worker in the bookstore, others helped in campus offices—typing for profs or acting as gen- eral errand boys. Pushing a rake, guiding a pencil, and running a mimeo machine might not be lucrative positions, but they did have monetary value, and after all, they kept us out of some mischief. Student participation in campus employment was pleasurable. Sputnik had nothing on us!
