Fall 2016 Spirit Trees

A spirit tree isn't something you can choose, as Miranda Priestly would say, "that was selected for you by the people in this very room, from a pile of stuff." This season the captains, Joe and Albert, opened the library by giving everyone their spirit trees as they got on one knee, faced their teammates, and were anointed by the almighty axe.
