Dr. Seuss in
Tiger Town!
“Oh the Places
You’ll Go”
Dr. Seuss stepped off the bus, grabbed his bags,
and started smiling upon seeing he was in Tiger
Town.
He loved Bowman Field, Tillman Hall and
thought “This is a paradise that I have found!”
President Barker and the Tiger Cub greeted him
with a big high five,
Knowing it was Friday they gave him an orange
shirt to show his Clemson pride.
They went to lunch at Pot Belly Deli and ordered
their favorite meal.
They talked about their weekend plans and Dr.
Seuss thought, “This can’t be real!”
So many things we will get to see all in one
weekend with a special tour from President Barker.
He said let’s pay the check and start the tour. I
can’t wait any longer!

What Does It Mean To Be a T.I.G.E.R. To You?

“To me, being a Tiger, is about pride.
Taking pride in
everything you do,
whether it’s school,
athletics, or something else, is what
sets you apart from
the crowd. Tigers
take pride in being team leaders,
having integrity,
showing gratitude,
expressing their
education, and
above all showing
respect.”
Paul
Clowes
Men’s Soccer
Being a Tiger means
working together and
always willing to try.
It means being truthful
and honest and good, and
trying never to lie.
Being a Tiger means loving our school and trying
to learn every day.
It means being thankful
and giving our best in
every single way.
Being a Tiger means caring for others and showing respect to your friends.
Being a Tiger is awfully good and I never want it to end!
Women’s Soccer
“As a student-athlete, it is
very important to represent yourself, your team,
and your school in respectful way. The biggest
thing a Clemson Tiger has
is heart and passion, not
only for your sport but for
the “family” you are surrounded by. Among all
great characteristics that a
Clemson Tiger has, the best part of being a student-athlete here is that there is a huge sense of unity. Whether
it is by your teammates, coaches, other athletes or the
community, you know that you will always be backed
up by a great supporting Clemson family.”
Marissa Kump

“Being a Tiger means
the world to me. I
am so proud to wear
purple and orange as I
compete with my team
to victory! Clemson
not only has outstanding athletics, but it is
also a place with fantastic academics. Being
a Tiger makes me fight
even harder in competition and academics. I
am proud to call myself
a Clemson Tiger.”
Teamwork is the first part of being a
T.I.G.E.R!, because when you work together with your friends or teammates, you
can accomplish so much more! If you help
each other out and depend on others, you
are sure to succeed!
After seeing the soccer players win against UNC at the Historic Riggs Field,
Dr. Seuss stormed the field and rushed over to where the players kneeled.
He heard the team talking about that final goal to make the tie-breaking win,
Their captain exclaiming how much of a difference their fans’ screaming had
been.
Just like in “Horton
Hears a Who” when the
whole town must come
together to make a large
enough sound,
The spirit squad and
bleacher- filled fans,
cheered so loudly they
helped the players
through another ACC
round
President Barker gathered all the players together after the game to
be introduced
He said, “Who better
to write a book about
Clemson, who better
than Dr. Seuss?”

and off the volleyball court?
Hannah Brenner

“Teamwork is important to volleyball
because nothing could happen with just one
person. It take a pass, set, and hit to have a successful game! Without one person the team
could not be successful.”
Green eggs (from “Green Eggs and
Ham”) are briefly seen during The
Mayor and his 97 kids’ breakfast during the movie Horton Hears a Who!

Integrity means doing the right thing,

They then hopped on the CAT bus and toured around campus
on this sunny Friday afternoon, President Barker suggested
they go inside and check out the study rooms.
He heard the kids talking about how nervous they were
about what a hard test this will be. One even talked
about cheating on the test so that she wouldn’t get a C.
An older student quickly reminded her that this idea
was up to no good.
He said “you know you shouldn’t” and she nodded her
head because she understood.
Just like in “Cat in the Hat” when the children knew
the cat’s games were up to no good, Dr Seuss said “I am
thoroughly impressed by your athlete’s attitude and always doing what THEY know should.”
What are the names of the children in The Cat in the Hat?
When have you had to show
integrity on the golf course?
Hayden Garrett
Men’s Golf
integrity
“My teammates and I show
by practicing and taking action to get better even when our
coaches are not around.”
“Being a TIGER means more than just winning on
the field, in the gym, or on the course. One of the
most important decisions you can make is whether
or not to show integrity and honesty. Those who
choose to display integrity end up winning in the
game of life”
A text-book editor at a publishing company was concerned about the report and commissioned Ted to write
a book which would appeal to children learning to read,
using only 250 words given to him by the editor.

Dr. Seuss
Hey everyone! My name is Paul Clowes and I play
on the soccer team here at Clemson. I am from
Manchester in England, so I am living a long way
from home but love it in America. In my spare time
I enjoy playing lots of different sports and also really
enjoy reading!
Another book that
I enjoyed reading when I
was younger was BFG by
Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl
was from England and was
a soldier in World War 2 so
I have a lot of respect for
him. His book BFG stands
for Big Friendly Giant and
is about a really mean and
scary looking giant who is
actually really nice, helpful and pleasant to everyone. The message behind
the story is fantastic as it shows us that you can’t
always judge something just by the way it looks. If
a big, angry and mean looking giant can be nice
then I am sure if you have a teacher who seems a
bit scary, they can be a nice person too!
What was the last book you read?
Reading really helps me to
learn about the world around
me and understand more about
myself and other people. It also
helps me have fun as I really
enjoy the story-lines of books.
What was your favorite book growing up?
My favorite series of books are the
Harry Potter books – I find them
so entertaining!! I think my favorite character is Harry because
he is so brave. His bravery and
strength really show how when
you believe in something and are
super courageous then you can do
almost anything in the world. You
don’t always need a wand to do
something amazing!!
You have brains in your head.
you have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.

Landscape Architecture
is the design of outdoor public areas,
landmarks, and structures to achieve
environmental, social-behavioral, or
aesthetic outcomes
“Landscape architecture is the
blend of science and art to create awesome outdoor spaces! I
want to design resorts or theme
parks such as Disney Land.”
Landscape architects
work with designers,
architects, engineers,
real estate agents,
contractors, planners,
and developers
It is important to not only think of yourself,
but to be thankful to everyone around you
and what they do for you! Your parents,
teachers, coaches and friends all help you in
some way to achieve your goals.
Now off to the dining hall for dinner to see what and where the students
get to eat, Dr. Seuss hoped for a big plate of mashed potatoes, corn and a
juicy piece of meat.
Once inside, the mascot and President Barker headed
straight over to the line for exotic foods, Dr. Seuss cringed
and thought, “I don’t want anything weird or spicy, especially that pot with something stewed.”
They reassured him that trying new things is
good and part of growing up,
It also reminds you to be thankful for what you
have
Just like in “Green Eggs and Ham” when Sam
kept offering up his odd little breakfast to his
friend,
We must learn to try new things and be thankful for options because it might be our favorite
in the end.
Who is the main character in
Green Eggs and Ham?
How do you show gratitude
on and off the golf course?
Ashlan Ramsey
Women’s Golf
With any college sport, you are always in the spotlight and being looked up to by others. I feel that
it’s important to really set a good example and
be a role model so that kids who look up to you
have a positive view of the game that you play.
In golf, it’s very important to motivate and push
the younger generations to stick with it so that
the game develops in future years. I looked up to
many players growing up so I hope to give back by
inspiring others.
In 1960, Bennett Cerf, Seuss’ editor, bet
Seuss he couldn’t write a book using
only 50 words. The resulting story was
‘Green Eggs and Ham’ which uses exactly 50 words.

“A 1970 Clemson graduate, Barker was named president in 1999 with
a mandate from the Board of Trustees to lead Clemson into the top
ranks of American universities. At his inaugural address in April
2000, he said: “I am convinced that there is no university in America
stronger than Clemson when we are ‘One Clemson.’
A united Clemson is unstoppable.””
Quote from clemson.edu
After the Tigers went up 27-7 in the
third quarter against Furman in September of 2012, the Clemson mascot
did the traditional pushups to mark
the score. After the 27th push up,
President Barker revealed just how
orange his blood was!
President Barker was a student athlete when
he attended Clemson University. He was a Pole
Vaulter on the Track and Field team.

Clemson Traditions and Fun Facts!
Howard’s Rock- Brought over from Death Valley, California and
named after legendary Clemson coach Frank Howard, the “rock” has been
on top of the hill since 1966! Clemson players rub the rock for good luck
before they run down the hill at every home game.
Clemson-USC Blood Bowl- Every year since 1985, Clemson and the
University of South Carolina have teamed up to donate blood. Even though
USC is a rival, we come together for a great cause. Each pint of blood
donated can save up to 3 lives! Over 285,000 lives have been saved over the
last 28 years.
‘55 Exchange- Who doesn’t love ice cream? Wouldn’t it be awesome to
create your own flavors? That is what the dairy science students at Clemson get to do! These students work in the store located in Hendrix student
union and create and sell their own ice cream flavors. This tradition goes
back to 1920!
Solid Orange- Wear orange every Friday to show your support for
Clemson University and its athletic programs. Solid Orange. It’s about
pride!
Running Down the Hill- It’s the “25 Most Exciting Seconds in College
Football!” This tradition goes back to the days when the players dressed in
Fike Field House and ran over to the stadium. Listen for the band to play,
“Tiger Rag” when you see the players atop the hill.
Tillman Bells- The bells you hear on Clemson’s campus come from the
bell tower in Tillman Hall. The first bell came to Clemson in 1943! On any
given day on campus you might hear a Disney classic or the Harry Potter
theme!
Tiger Rag- Tiger Rag has been the Tigers’ fight song since 1942. The
way you hear it now has been played since 2003. The “band that shakes the
southland” has 15 total ways to play it.
Alma Mater
Where the Blue Ridge yawns it’s greatness,
Where the Tigers play,
Here the sons of dear old Clemson
Reign supreme alway.
CHORUS
Dear old Clemson we will triumph,
And with all our might,
That the Tiger’s roar may echo
O’er the mountain height.
A T.I.G.E.R! always wants to learn more so that
they can prepare themselves for the future!
They walked across Library Bridge and saw tons of students going in and out,
The library was filled with people studying for things he knew nothing about.
There were students studying to be special doctors and others to be environmental engineers,
Others were painting beautiful murals and still others speaking languages ever so clear.
They came up to Vickery
Hall, which is where the
student athletes study and
work,
President Barker showed
him how blessed the athletes
were with Vickery being an
extra perk!
When he asked to see their
papers and projects, everyone had so much they wanted to show,
And Dr Seuss thought to
himself as the students presented their work, “Oh the

Oh the Places You’ll Go... After College
Bryan Narcisse
Harlem Globetrotter Basketball Player
Current Location: Aiken, SC (on staff with Fellowship of Christian Athletes)
Best part of being a professional athlete:
All of the people I got to impact and influence because of my status/position as
a professional athlete.
Hardest part of being a professional athlete: All of the work that goes
into preparing and delivering night-in and night-out.
Did you ever think you would be a professional athlete or was this the
goal all along? Definitely was a goal but as time progressed I didn’t think it
would actually come to fruition but the right opportunities presented themselves and after praying about it, I chose to pursue it.
What advice would you give kids who want to go pro in their sport:
To work hard and know that your life outside of sport is just as important as
your life in it.
Alexa Rand
Volleyball
Current Location: Sweden
Best part of being a professional athlete:
I get to play the sport that I love almost every single day and get paid to do so. I don’t have to worry about the stress of
school and homework either. My job is to play volleyball, travel around Europe, and to stay in shape. Since flying to
Europe to become a professional athlete, I have played volleyball in Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Denmark, and Austria.
Hardest part of being a professional athlete:
The hardest part of being a professional athlete in a different country is the language barrier and being so far away
from my family and friends. The 6 hour time difference between Sweden and Ohio and South Carolina is not ideal
either. I live with two girls from Poland (one speaks English while the other one doesn’t), my head coach is
Polish, and the rest of my teammates are Swedish.
Did you ever think you would be a professional athlete
or was this the goal all along?
I always knew I would play volleyball in college, but I don’t
think that I ever thought I would be a professional athlete. It wasn’t until late in my senior year at Clemson that I
thought about making this a goal of mine. Now that I am a
professional athlete in Sweden, I am so glad that I decided
to take on this challenging experience.
Brianna Rollins
Track and Field
Best part of being a professional athlete:
The best part of being a professional track and field athlete is traveling
across the world competing, meeting new people, and experiencing
new cultures.
Did you ever think you would be a professional athlete or was
this the goal all along?
I’ve always imagined being a professional track and
field athlete since I started running in high school.
It’s something that I enjoy doing and why not make
my “job/career” something I look forward to doing
each and everyday I wake up in the morning.
What advice would you give kids who want to
go pro in their sport:
My advice to kids that are considering going pro is
to stay dedicated to the sport no matter what happens because some things may not go as planned and
it could become discouraging but you must always continue to push on. Do all the necessary
things you need to do for your body to stay healthy; that can consist of getting treatment, ice
tube, eating healthy, and get good rest every single day. Becoming a professional athlete isn’t the easiest thing to do but if you
commit yourself to your sport, stay focused, stay motivated, stay
hungry.
Brianna won The Bowerman award in 2013
which is the highest and most prestigious
award in Track and Field

Future Bank of America Employee
What are you most looking forward to working at Bank
of America?
I am most looking forward to all of the new opportunities that are going to be available to me. I’m excited to start
something new in a brand new city.
How has athletics helped you in college and how will it
help you in your career?
College athletics has really taught me to work as a team.
In finance, teams are crucial to accomplishing projects and
meeting deadlines. I’m lucky to have been on an incredible
team these past four years at Clemson and I know that sense of
teamwork will help me for my future career.
Brianna is the

Respect is the final T.I.G.E.R! quality,
because it is very important to treat each
other fairly!
President Barker brought him to Bowman field to see the great big oak trees
He said “look how big and tall and to think they all started as small seeds.”
That is why it is so important to recycle and never litter
Because how can we expect the world to be better
if we become bitter?
Dr Seuss reminded President Barker of the Lorax and his Truffula
trees
“We must respect the environment
because they provide things that we
need.”
Trees give us shade for our picnics
and air to breathe
And if you have a good bookthey’re a great place to read.
Protecting a beautiful place like
Clemson shouldn’t be hard to do
It is filled with caring people, people just like me and you.
What type of trees grow where
the Lorax lives?
Why should you always
show Respect to others?

The book used to contain the line, “I hear things
are just as bad up in Lake Erie,” but 14 years after
the book was published, the Ohio Sea Grant Program wrote to Seuss and told him how much the
conditions had improved and implored him to
take the line out. Dr. Seuss agreed and said that it
wouldn’t be in future editions.
Dr Seuss packed up his bags and thanked President Barker for his tour
He said he had never scene such beautiful and spirited place ever before!
He took his seat on the bus and while reminiscing, began to smile
Thinking to himself he hadn’t been this excited for a book in awhile.
He thought about the cheers of the fans who were just like the Who’s.
He remembered the gratitude he had after eating such good food.
He could never forget the respect the community had for their beloved trees
He thought about how hard the students studied for academic victories.
But most of all he knew they were smart students, with hard work that shows,
He smiled once again thinking and knowing, “Oh the places they will go”
Can you match the quotes to the books?
