We want to get everyone, especially the freshmen, more spin ted and into tradition.' Yanni continued “Even if its only getting them into the traditions of Geneva Glen, the Convocation and class assemblies. Without traditions, a school becomes sterile and impersonal.

The drive back to tradition may not stop at the revival of the D-Book. said Yanni. There are dozens of other dusty traditions waiting to be pulled out of old yearbooks A victory bell. Senior Fence and new red vest for the chancellor may all be in the offing soon.
