Here's to the Class of 1960!

How great to see that the old alma mater has reinstated the Homecoming Parade! Congratulations to all who see that Tradition is the mordant that truly binds us together. The Class of '60 welcomed my Class of '63 with our Freshman beanies and learning the history of UNC from our Student Handbooks. Homecoming marked the day we could remove our beanies and become full on members of the Student Body. The Class of 1960 was, perhaps, the last class to see Totem Teddy in his honored space between Gunter Hall and Bru-Inn. It was the men of that class who dominated
Hi Bridge and were the envy of us Frosh. We looked forward to the day when we could form a gauntlet for the new Freshman women to run.


Simple times.. good memories! Now.. thanks to Solomon Little Owl of the Native American Students Organization for his pledge of support to restore The Bear Totem to the UNC campus. Hopefully some of the Fifty Year Classmates will sign on as well. That you returned to campus for Homecoming is heartening. We need your support! Not money.. just your voices.. It is time to Restore the Bear Totem!!

Go Bears!!
