There's nothing like a good bonfire to kindle the fire of enthusiasm for a football victory. And thc Tigers wanted this one. Everyone wanted this one. It was homecoming-It was the night to crown the queen-And, well every one wanted to beat Northeast-period. The rally started un- der the bridge and after several yells the crowd followed the pep band to the practice field where a bonfire to top all bonfires was burning. After introducing the homecoming queen candidates there were talks by the football captains and the coach from the back of a flatbed truck. The rally was a big success even if it did not produce a victory. The final score 13-6, proved to be one of the closest against Northeast all season. Northeast ended the season as recognized State Champions. The day ended with an alumni dance at the High School. Incidentally, a lot of students had to get up Saturday morning and wash signs off downtown store windows. it at 'fs K I.x,1q,

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.
