- wi v 4... School opened up pretty much in the usual manner with the seniors looking nonchalant and wise, the juniors trying to imitate them, and the sophomores lost but trying hard not to show it. Right off the seniors and juniors get the breaks with an afternoon off ,while the sophomores take tests. That,s a new twist -tests the first day. Next day everyone lined up and filed into the gym to pay fees. This new way they hit you for money just once- but boy they hit you! Then things begin to happen fast. The Tigers hit Fremont 12-7 . . . Hello day dawned with pink, blue, and yellow tags everywhere. There was a dance in the evening . . . Several students attended a governor's conference in Lincoln . . . Cross Country got started in a three-way meet. Tied GI for second place . . . The first rally was held. Something new-sophomores and jun- iors on the west side, seniors on the east. Why? School's getting too crowded, nearly 900 of us now . . . Tigers wore their new gray, orange and black side-line coats at Fairbury but got pasted 25-0 . . . And on Sept. 20, the annual student council installation was held. The school is in good hands now-full speed ahead. I lil Two events occurring the latter part of August always herald the opening of school. One is the start of football practice, the other the arrival of the foreign exchange student. And while the Tiger hopefuls were sweating it out in the hot sun, Else-Marie Skoien, Mia , was meeting new friends who were to be her classmates. Mia ,came all the way from Hone- foss, Norway, to attend school in Hastings. Dick Bierman, who spent the summer in Bra- band, Denmark, as an AFS student, chats with Mia seated on one of the new benches that dot the walks in the open court. ,, ,T 4 is 1, ,. ' eel! .. 4 .

The football season officially opened on Sep- tember 22, with the traditional breaking through the hoop by the team. It was a Mid-East con- ference tilt in which the Tigers were squeezed out by one point, 7-6. But the Bengals were only wounded and the next week they tore savagely into the North Platte Bulldogs and licked them decisively 32-7, and on their own field. While the Tigers were making news the Tiger Cub was recording it along with other news of inter- est in Tigerland. The first edition hit the home- rooms on October 4, and in most rooms the teacher donated the last five or ten minutes to catching up on school activities and events. Now was a good time to find out who the new teachers were and what they taught. There was Miss Geddes, a com- mercial teacherg and also a man, Mr. Hawes, to take Miss Clark's place . . . The vacancy in the English department was filled by Mr. Lloyd, while the one in Home Economics was taken over by Miss Bren- ing-no fellows, no cooking class for boys . . . And then there were new counselors, Mr. Christensen for the juniors and Mr. Anderson for the sophomores. Remember that world series fever that hits every fall? T'was no different this year. Boys sneaked pocket transitors into class and tried to at least pick up the score. Where the teacher had che fever too, the games were piped in over the inter-com. Also, as the picture clearly shows, television sets were placed in the gym for students with study pe- riods or classes taught by teachers who weakened to- ward the end of the period. You know-if you can't lick ,em, join 'em. Rallies are a ball in H.H.S. Here the football players themselves team up with the cheerleaders to squeeze out a little more noise. Louder!! Louder!! Louder!! This is probably the rally for the Colum- bus game. If so it produced results. Hastings won 19-12 and moved a step nearer to retaining its East Big Ten championship. Next day, Oct. 7, the Har- riers were runners-up in the Mid-East cross country meet in Lincoln.
