. . We Were There. . From unine yeahs and a rah to ue to the X, dy, dxw Purdue has cheered teams during the pigskin and hardwood seasons. lVe've had Big Ten champs and cellar teams, a string of P's on the Old Oaken Bucket, and a long-sought victory over the Irish. VVhen warmer weather rolls around 'cplay ball is the battlecry, and many a bat is splintered on the diamond. lllatmen, tankmen, thinlies-all add a star of their own in the sports sky. Although Isbell, Oliphant and lllurphy may flinch slightly when they scan our season's record, we've passed and shot and tried to do our best. All of this energy might be wasted elsewhere, but not at Purdue. Comes the invincible, which usually does, we,ve played to win. On the other side of the fence the spectators have shivered and roasted, screamed with joy and sighed with disappointment, and set a new high for game attendance. Even though we had a chem test the next day, we went to the game. VVe may not have passed the test, but we gave the team that extra bit of push. VVhen our efforts were not in vain, and the team copped the victory, we turned the campus upside down. Yes, we were there! Another year, but the same Old Oaken Bucket classic-we're still going strong!

I6 Remember the times you stood 011 the corner wait- ing for a bus to go ,cross town, the drenching you got from standing in line to buy a ticket for the show, and the bags of popcorn you ate once you were inside? Yes, we like our Grables and Pecks and have spent our share of 55.6O's at the box office. VVhen the dew is not too heavy, and we're lucky enough to double with Convertible Joe, youill find us at the drive-in. This is life at Purdue, boisterous and solemn, careless and pensive, memorable and forgotten. We may not have made all the Gis we dese1'ved, pledged all the honoraries our mothers hoped we would, dated the queens we wanted to, or laughed at the right jokesg neve1'theless, we got an education. We learned how valuable shoe leather is, we acquired a new alphabet, TGIF g we followed in our parents' footsteps and learned the Charleston, and we Haunted our sparkling pins and rings. Yes, we were busy! lVe worried too. Draft notices became more prevalent and 'fthis is the army seemed too close for comfort. The books became less pertinent and wedding plans were the topics in the coed bull ses- sions. Uniforms became more familiar and rumors flew that the navy would be moving back onto the campus. VVe not only read the Exponent with our morning coffee, but also, eyed the Korean and Kefauver headlines. Term papers and grade reports soon may be just memories to some of us. VVe'll forget that idiotically grinning face on our passports and the midnight bridge games, but we will retain a much more im- portant part of our college life. VVe'll remember the University's contributions in science and engi- neering and its progress in education-these accom- plishments have touched the pages in our books of life and the lives of those who have gone before us. lVe have given four years to the University, and it has given us four vital ones in exchange. VVe may not have accomplished a great deal, but we have added a small share to the tradition and spirit of Purdue.
