Can this be our Mr. Switzer, or is this dated individual his grandfather? Yup, it's Mr. Switzer starting football season with a bit of ancestral history. The raccoon coat and the dated Ford, so typical of the early days of the All-American sport, once again symbolize its opening days. October, a month of threatening clouds and long shadows, ushered in Cross Country time. The runners were understandably pleased with the failure of the mercury to reach the high numbers, and this was reflected in their nearly perfect record. We're proud of our League Champs, hobgoblins or not. T, lt is rather ironic that Thanksgiving should come during the most tragic month of the year for some of us. lt is then that the first report cards are issued and the purpose of our con- finement is driven home with particular force. Yes, we suddenly realize that summer is over and life is grimly earnest.

7 The band you see here added a touch ot so- phistication to the Christmas dance and pro- vided dreamy, danceable music. As you can probably guess, the Hacienda was so well at- tended that it became necessary to place the ensemble behind the lovely tree, But they didn't mind, it put 'em in a Christmassy mood, they said. Q A gay Christmas spirit prevailed throughout the annual Girls' League Christmas Dance. Being one of the dressier dances of the school year, it was also one of the more popular, giving all a chance to doll up and drift romantically to appropriate seasonal dance music. 3 1 xiii Tree, band, and all are shut off from view by these lovely dancing couples. And if you don't think we had a difficult time getting into the center of this crowd - well, we had to have help to fence off cameraman and equipment for iust two scant minutes. Let's hope for more dances like this one.
