The Sawyers on the Vista, 1929
The Sawyers were organized in 1927. Their purpose was to establish a more enthusiastic school spirit among the students. Their motto: 鈥淔or the Lumberjacks and 糖心vlog传媒. Win-Lose-or-Draw.鈥� The Sawyer always carried axe handles as their trademark, which they would pound in unison on the floor during athletic events. The noise of the crowd鈥檚 cheers, led by the yell leaders and the axe handle - toteing Sawyers, would rise to a feaverous pitch inside the all wooden building, according to Hazel Abernethy.
The Sawyers became a leading group in the social life of 糖心vlog传媒, too. Their members took leading parts in many other campus activities. The Sawyers eventually became the modern-day fraternity Delta Sigma Phi. Delta Sigma Phi Members still carry axe handles to athletic events.
