Aww, the memories. I still remember when the Deke pledges that were staying on my floor sprayed the first floor of of Jenkins down with shampoo and took a toboggan and were belly whooping down the hallway. One of them suckered me into it and I couldn't stop and went flying off the steps into the lobby right when the Hall Director and one of the RAs came out of the J-Mac apartment, I knocked the HD over on top of me and we careemed together across the lobby and down into McFarland. RA and the HDs wife were laughing so hard they left us lay there in misery for like 5 minutes

we did the soap/hallway thing too. Still can't figure out how that was okay but merely running across a rooftop was so bad...

You were outside were people could see you. You could have streaked naked through the inside of J-MAC and no-one would have said a thing:laugh::laugh:.

Wow they put in stalls. They didn't have those when I was there. No doors in the toliet area either, nothing like taking a dump having someone walk by and look at you:o

Kind of suiting considering they were there all the time anyways fixing stuff we kept tearing up and cleaning up our "extra-curricular" activity. Any of you old enough to remember the sling shot we used to fire water balloons from the top floor of McFarland at the front porch of The Hut, was hilarious, some athlete would come out of Hut and they'd be open game:laugh::laugh:. Football players were the best they went and got their own balloons and layed siege to J-Mac.

I was a student recruiter and would tell the legend ending with the bulldog being buried beneath the seal. On one tour, the mother asked, "How could that be? This was a road when I was here." I had to respond by saying that the dog was buried in that spot before the road was built... I felt so stupid and never told the story again.

I went to Tech between fall of '65 and spring of '69 and never heard the legend. So the legend may sound old but for years it wasn't told.

By the way, there was an old women's dorm where Harper is with the same name back in 1962. Also anyone still call the student center the "tonk"? In 65 the quad had more buildings on it. There were two buildings across from Keeney where the bookstore is and one, Lomax Hall, (the roof collapsed in a rain storm) where the library tower is now. I don't believe the two buildings across from Keeney had names. If anyone remembers maybe they post.

Who remembers the old Quonset barracks building which was used as a men's dorm? It was right beside the water tower (which they tore down this summer). The stadium was right there, too.

The only traditions I remember were the bonfire for state fair and homecoming. We had the demon in a casket and burned it. The bon fire was held over near where the soft ball field/soccer fields are or maybe where JAS is. In that general area.

I know it's been discussed in other threads but another good rivalry could add some traditions.

That's the only name I remember, too. If I recall they used one of them for AFROTC before they tore it down. And the dorm for old women was built like a house. I saw it in an old 1962 year book.

I think we called it the Tonk when I was there.
