For All Ages This spirit is ageless. Persons aren ' t born with it, but they can be born into it. Children in second or third generation Bulldog families are nurtured with the MSU spirit from the beginning. These kids pick this college team and root for the Bulldogs as enthusiastically as the seasoned fans. Their maroon streak grows bigger and richer as they grow up. A special relationship between the old and the young develops as the aged pass the Bulldog spirit down to the young who carry it on. The alumni are responsible for generating this spirit with their continued sup- port. They pack into campus for home football games in campers and vans. Be- ing responsible for the Creative Arts Complex and stadium expansion, they are the constant renewal and rebirth of the spirit of MSU. ■ Opening

In others, it ' s only a whisper, but it ' s there. It ' s - -f The YMCA Building, which is one of the oldest on campus, now houses the Post Office in its basement. Students flock there between classes in hopes of mail.

Many hours are spent by dormitory residents and greeks stuffing crepe paper into Homecoming signs. Phi Mu ' s Amy Whitmyer and DeDe Hatton put in their required hours of work. Jerome Jones leads his group in ice breakers during orientation. J« found in past traditions and future ac- complishments. It ' s everything that blends in together to define that uni- que feeling, that spirit. It ' s that feeling you sometimes get on campus when you just want to burst with pride. It ' s the electricity, the excitement that mounts before a game as the fans scream during the kickoff. Its matoon, and it runs through each of us because each of us is a part of it. mw Opening — 5
