Yca Builder Fight' Lheerleadeis 'Nlalilyn Nlclxlew, Phil Stansifer. Billie Youn Linton Smith and Elvira Schrag promote pep at the Homecoming game AGA -PEI Although 1945-46, the first postwar year, saw a rising tide of school spirit, it took this past year of '46-'47 to bring to Hoodtide the pep and school loyalty for which Southwestern is known. Football games and a winning team which strode on to conference championship, a big Homecoming with fa- miliar but long absent faces, a successful parade, a victory over Washburn, and a memorable danceg basketball games we so nearly won, the tremendous ovation given the Pur- ple live as they left the floor with their second win of the season from our ancient rivals, Wichita U. - and with a school holiday for the students, the crowds of students in the halls, at the drug, on the bus - all these contribu- ted to a hue spirit which gaily survived victories and de- feats alike. 1 i 'tt
