Crisp fall haze, crowds, funny faces One beautiful place to go during the golden days of autumn is Warren Woods, the nature per- serve of Warren Central. The beauty of the Woods has been the concern of several in the township be- cause of the vandalism and destruction of trails, stations, and plant and animal life. Not all of it is due to Warren kids. A lot of kids in the community go out and play in the woods, said Mrs. Linda Bayne, science teacher. Outdoor sports, like Warren, I.U. and Purdue football watching, held many- fans into the cold days of early winter, when sweaters were traded for bulky coats and mittens. My feet were numb at one game; I could not feel them because it was so cold, said senior Brian Reno. Bike riding becomes a popular pas- time for many in the fall, with the small, BMX bike gaining more popularity. Sophomore Monty Thompson said, A couple of Christmases ago I got a bike, and I really enjoy it. I don ' t do it seriously, just with some friends around the neighborhood. Whether it was a glimpse out a class- room window toward the oranges and yellows of Warren Woods or smelling the scent of wood burning fires, students hung on to those golden days until the blasts of winter tore them away. mm Enjoying bike riding over the fall break are sopho- Trudging up an incline, senior Mary Low Fazio mores Mike Hime and Steve Watt. capped her final season placing 21st in the State Cross Country meet. 18

Crisp fall haze, crowds, funny faces The hot summer days of July and August turned to the cool fall days fo September and Oc- tober and early November . . . the Gold- en Days of Indiana autumn. It was diffi- cult for students to stay in their classes and at work. Brown County attracted many War- riors with its colored leaves and hills and weiner roasts and hayrides. Halloween came and with it the OEA dance with only a handful of ghosts and goblins attending. I wasn ' t really surprised that not that many people showed up. They didn ' t publicize it enough, said Mylissa Compton. But with Halloween came the fall va- cation. The weather was beautiful and many took to the parks and horseback riding. Others, like Debbie Bradley, went to the Indiana State High School Press Association at Franklin College, where Debbie won an award for her writ- ing. However, not all students had the op- portunity to travel during their vacation. Many sat at home and caught up on their soap operas and favorite TV programs. Still others went shopping at Washing- ton Square or even ventured to Castle- ton Square. Fall vacation used to be called Teach- er ' s Institute break because many meet- ings of the Indiana State Teacher ' s Asso- ciation are held at that time. It seems few teachers take advantage of these meet- ings now. Mrs. Susan Grenda, English teacher, said, I generally always go to the meet- ings. I go according to the speakers, but this year I didn ' t feel the speakers were that outstanding. Cheering on their team and class are members of the junior class at a rowdy pep session during fall sports.
