Elephant Walk
Remembering Good Times
Before the last home football game, the seniors gather
for the annual Elephant Walk. They visit all the important historical
locations on campus to remember good times and friends before wandering
off to some secluded spot as if to await the coming of death as old "elephants".
This event is symbolic of the fact that as former students, they will
never again stand as a part of the student portion of the famed Twelfth
Man.
Back in our days on campus this event happened before Final
Review. Since we were the class of '72, our Elephant Walk ocurred 72 days
before Final Review. Typically, we walked in a long line, one-behind another,
holding our arms to our face, our arms symbolizing an elephant's trunk.
