Lanier, Tradition Go Together Wiking through the corridors of Lanier, one senses a uniqueness about the school that emerges from many decades of existence. This specialness is created by 54 years of pride, commitment, and accomplishment which are clearly evident through the displayed awards in the trophy cases and the worn halls through which thousands of students have trod. This special quality is tradition. Tradition is seen in all phases of Lanier life, from the annual events such as the homecoming assembly, Oracle Day, the breaking of the J.D. spirit chain, and the Carver bonfire, to the continual year-long rivalries between the different school publications, whose staffs take pride in keeping each publication ‘‘the best.” Tradition is even exemplified by the castle-like grandeur and beautiful gothic style of the school itself. However, no matter what role tradition plays in life at Lanier, whether it be in the structure of the building or in the activities that take place within, it is a major one. In fact, Lanier is tradition.
