Some students can be spotted at almost any event. It is part of their Holy Cross experienceg their life- style on Mount Saint James. Without them what would sports at Holy Cross be? Yes, these people are essential to our athletic program. We see their excitement, we see smiles and laughterg but most of all most of all we see sup- port, and that is what Holy Cross athletics is thankful for. Upeni

FRESH N FEL AQZWM- ' N t , --kx , .- - -. JT f f T K . .,.. . . . ,. ,, f' . , , .. t is a bright and sunny Sat- urday afternoon. The leaves are changing colors and a touch of the approach- ing winter is in the air. And what is the typical Holy Cross student doing? Heading down to freshman field for a fun- filled day of tailgating. Cars start appearing in the early waking hours. Kegs become visible up and down the field followed by unheeded warn- ings by Security to remove them. As the day progresses, more and more students con- gregate around kegs, music, and friends waiting for kick-off time. Of course, diehard fans start making their way into the stadium. For those students who never used their tickets, there follows that desire to re- main by the keg for just one more beer . Soon these Holy Cross fans find themselves asking what's the score? and decide to remain outside of the stadium until halftime. Probably the best Crusader tailgaters are those who re- main on the field well after the game has ended, helping fel- low students finish that last keg. Another enjoyable day of tailgating comes to an end. Other aspects of Holy Cross tailgating are also evident. One is the distinct difference between Fitton Field and Freshman Field tailgaters. The more serious tailgaters, made up of loyal alumni, tend to spend their day on Fitton Field. Their concerns are quali- ty tailgates with food, decora- tions, grills and more. Howev- er, their greatest concern remains the game. Thus, the tradition of Holy Cross tailgating will continue well into the future, and, may- be someday we, as alumni, will join the serious tailgaters on Fitton Field. - Michelle Brignola A Time For Laughter.
