In our time here we have formed lasting friendships, gained a sense of community, and learned what it truly is to be a Hokie. We have shown our Hokie spirit by embracing and pushing all of our athletic teams to the forefront of the ACC. The Hokie spirit we have for our athletics is only surpassed by the spirit that we have for the Virginia Tech community. Through many different outlets we have served our community and learned about ourselves and in what we believe. With our combined efforts, we have ADEEL KHAN grown closer to fellow students, faculty, and Virginia Tech. In one way or another, by being a part of the Class of 2009, we have all created a legacy and become intertwined with the tradition of Virginia Tech. The longest standing tradition at Virginia Tech, the class ring, is what binds us to our class and to the more than 200,000 living alumni nationwide. The 2009 class ring is your constant reminder of your accomplishment, memories, and pride for your time at Virginia Tech. I encourage you to embrace this Hokie tradition by receiving your class ring at the Ring Dance this coming March. Sincerely, Adeel Khan Class of 2009 President THE WILLIAM C.

    Media interest in Virginia Tech football and Coach Frank Beamer swelled during Tech’s 11-0 regular season in 1999 and the Hokies’ appearance in the Sugar Bowl national championship game. What Is a Hokie? That’s the most often-asked question in Virginia Tech athletics. The answer leads all the way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came the necessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was held by the student body. Senior O.M. Stull won first prize for his “Hokie” yell which still is used today. Later, when asked if “Hokie” had any special meaning, Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell. It soon became a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Tech athletics. The official school colors — Chicago maroon and burnt orange — also were introduced in 1896. They were chosen because they made a “unique combination” not worn elsewhere at the time. Spirit units at Virginia Tech include (clockwise, from top left) the HighTechs dance team; the Hokies’ lovable mascot, the HokieBird; the cheerleading squads; the Marching Virginians band, known as “the Spirit of Tech”; and the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets regimental band, the Highty-Tighties. Tech and Texas A&M are the only two schools in the country with a full-time corps of cadets as part of a larger civilian student body. Media Information The Press Box receive first priority, as well as offerings of a single individual.
