Meet the Tiger Walk...and John.

Mizzou has a newish tradition (started about 1996) where incoming freshmen walk through the school's historic columns, toward the campus to have some Tiger Stripe ice cream. When students graduate, they walk the other direction through the columns, toward the community, and enjoy a free beer. My last assignment for my staff photo class was to shoot this tradition, which was celebrated by Mizzou's largest freshman class ever. There were so many students that ice cream had to be tossed to the masses (see below). Here are some highlights, plus two photos of my buddy and editor John.
