Corps. Then he slammed his jacket down on the stage
and the Corps went wild.”
Chris Torn, head yell leader and a senior agricul
tural development major, said yell practice developed
out of a need to motivate the student body.
“They had had yells before,” Chris Torn said. "They
just decided then to start doing them as an event.”
The yell leaders have told fables at yell practice
since the tradition began.
“They’ve always done fables,” Chris Torn said.
“They’re just stories made up by the yell leaders to
motivate the Twelfth Man.”
Former students and yell leaders say the tradition
has not changed much with the exception of larger
crowds and the addition of a sound system.
Sam Torn, Class of ’70 and a former head yell
leader, said the addition of a sound system has en
hanced yell practice.
"We didn’t have a sound system then (1970s),” Sam
Torn said. “The yell leaders would just yell as loud as
they could.”
Sam Torn said yell leaders do some things differ
ently now than in the past. He said they now use more
energy when leading yells.
“They have gotten a little more flamboyant with
the arm motions,” Sam Torn said. “But they do the
songs exactly the same way we did it.”
Bill Youngkin, Class of ’69 and a former head yell
leader, said he didn’t think yell practice has changed
much, but he notices some difference in the way stu
dents get to Kyle Field.
“Used to be that people followed the band in and
wandered through campus,” Youngkin said. “As you
made your way through campus, you picked up peo
ple on the way.”
Sam Tom said the changes in yell practice have im
proved it.
“The school as a whole is a much higher caliber
than it was in 1970,” Sam Torn said. “Yell practice
is much better now. It’s better organized and the
students are better behaved. It was a rowdy bunch
in 1970.”

Spurs
Continued from Page 3
Another tradition goes hand
in hand with the spurs. If a spur
falls off on the Quadrangle,
called a “blowout,” the freshman
must “wildcat” and run to the
arches of the Quad.
“They’re always falling off,”
Doggett said. “It’s impossible to
get them to stay on.”
Otty Medina, an outfit H-l
member and a freshman bio
medical science major, said this
fits in with Old Army tradition.
“We used to run on the Quad
anyway, so we get in a little sneak
practice there,” Medina said.
Because freshmen are sup
posed to keep their spurs with
them at all times, upperclass
