f I Fall’s football game is on a field where the Revolution was won. Winter’s sled ride is down a hill where Washington walked. Spring’s kite leaves from redoubts where brave men fought. Summer’s swim is on a beach where Cornwallis stayed as The World Turned Upside Down.” This is our home. The brisk and invigorating Autumn breeze sweeping off the York River and roll- , ing out onto the battlefields was an inspira- tion for people to get out and do those things that pleased them. Even the mood at school refleaed the changes of the salty cold air. 6

School provided an outlet for our activi- ties which were directly connected to the national birthday party. The Mime Troupe performed on Yorktown beach for the local Bicentennial committee bringing fame and publicity our way. The giant flag proved to be as impressive as it was large. It culminated a week of activities which saw Kathy Robins working for the Spirit Dinner, Ronnie Ransome getting last minute plans from Coach Dave Glos- sen, Elizabeth Sim and Kevin Davis chat- ting after another project, Alice Bertram and Steve Hundley helping to build the senior float, Kevin Croke going for another three points, and the inevitable rush to our favorite dellies after the game. 8
