Attendance the first night was acceptable. the second night . . . well. one out of two isn't bad. 1 But they were up against some pretty stiff com- petition. '73 may well be remembered as the year that color television secured its strangle-hold on the nation. Soap operas. game shows. cartoons. crime dramas, situation comedies, talk shows, sports events, movies, re-runs: take your choice. Americans spent so much time in front of the boob tube. Some claimed we were all being controlled by the networks, except teenagers really weren't home long enough to lose themselves in T. lf make-believe. We really didn 't do much that was meaningful.

And so November came to a close. The trees had lost their leaves and there was no snow to hide their nakedness. It was too cold to be outside without a coat, not cold enough to stay homeg too cold to sit in the car. not cold enough to leave it running. So we moved inside and made plans. Snow earlier in the month made some think of sledding. ice skating and snowball fights. Christmas lights going up around town reminded us of the holidays to come, presents to buy and wrap. Grade cards came out for the second time. We tried to forget school. The same classes, the same faces, the same old routine. It was getting boring. And so we moved into December.
