The Eagle OT ONLY is the Eagle the king of the air, but he has been con- sidered by more than one nation as a fitting emblem of national sovereignty. Our own country stamps its purest gold coin with the likeness of this king of birds and calls the coin itself an Eagle. Such honor is granted because no other bird of the air and no beast of the field was ever so graceful, so swift, or so aggressive: there is no eye so keen, no talon so sharp or powerful. When an Eagle screams, all beasts seek cover, and man himself is awed. An Eagle is also independent and takes no food except that provided by his own power and skill. Further- more, no other was ever so loyal to its kind. An Eagle will die in defense of its nest. The rapid rise of this college from comparative obscurity to a place among the great educational institutions of the State of Texas has not been unlike the rise of an Eagle from the valley to a place on the mountain top. Our faculty, our students, and our alumni will never be satisfied until they see our college resting on the topmost peak of fame. Since February 1, 1922, Eagles, to the supporters of the dear old green and white, has had an additional signihcance. It suggests that esteem and loyalty for school, and of school for team, which is so characteristic of the N. T. S. N. C. The keen eye, the speed and endur- ance, the aggressiveness, the beauty, the strength, and the independence of the Eagle typify similar qualities found in our teams and in our school. EI II

The 66lRep99 Section SCREAM, EAGLES, SCREAM l And such a volume of sound would burst forth from the throats of hundreds of loyal rooters that the roof of the gymnasium would almost be lifted. No team is able to win games without the proper support from the sidelines, and many victories are won by the rooters on the sidelines who are backing the team on the basket ball court. Rooters and yell leader deserve their share of praise in bringing the 1922 T. I. A. A. basket ball championship to the North Texas State Normal College. SCREAM, EAGLES, SCREAM! A Twelve
