SPIRIT FLARES ACROSS CAMPUS As C ougar f orce Hits opponents hard, iiZekf lights up and all cheer iiBig Red,i S pirit is something indefinable. It is just there . . . everywhere . . . all over the campus. Spirit makes college. It is the campus by day and by night. It is the events and activities. It makes ilBig Redl, a distinct campus in a metropolitan area. It offers much that is good; the laughter and warmth of spirit and another touch of fulfillment to college years. ilBig Redil is so many things . . . her spirit is felt and seen in so many places . . . the faces of the campus queens, the graduating seniors, the cheerleaders, the athletic teams. She is the tradition, ever present at the Bonfire, Homecoming, Songfest, and Frontier Fiesta, plus the big weekends . . . all these lend meaning to the living and vital expression, iispiritfl At Big Redli there is so much; the days are filled. Spirit is visualized in the stage-struck freshman, the pledge feverishly seeking to please, the author-to-be of the ligreat American novel? the shy young co-ed who is happiest in that realm that is called college life? As the seed of this university was once planted and nourished with care and grew strong through the years, so the spirit of liBig Redil reached new heights and flour- ished within the student body of the University of Hous- ton in the year of 1956-57. Because of this flare-up of spirit which had lain dormant so long, We of the 1957 HOUSTONIAN staff wish to acknowledge this growing, glowing flame by using as our theme iiSchool Spirit on the iBig Redl Campus?
