ONLY l79 MORE DAYS. School days! School days! Another short and pleasant summer vacation ended, and classes were resumed September 5. As usual, the first week buzzed with excitement. Seventh graders got their first taste of high school life, still a bit awe stricken with the rush and glamour of it all, while the old timers greeted friends they hadn't seen in months. Probably the greatest activity of all, and we do mean greatest, was in the group which makes up the band. Just four days to get ready for our first gameg rushed like mad to get instruments tuned up, to learn new drills, to keep in step, and to hit a few correct notes. But it was worth it all when our team was victorious over Ferndale. Spirits were low on Sunday, September 10. Some of the boys from our school and others in the National Guard entrained for Camp Atterbury. This called for a send-off parade in which cheerleaders and band members participated. fOuch, those aching feetlj The various clubs were organized and the Senior journalism class published its first issue of the 'Echo on the 15th. We also won our second football game that evening at Berlin's expense. Our win over Portage on the 22nd, the Juniors playing host to the ring salesman on the 29th, and a gridiron victory over Beaverdale on the 30th pretty well rounded out the doings at Richland during the first month of school.
