ON September seventh the lighthearted occupants of Amherst's halls and classrooms once more trickled through the newly polished doorways for another year of higher learning and mental anguish g of good times and new friends. They all recognized the significant Hag at half-mast which lent a note of sobriety never before present on the opening day. After filling out the usual flood of printed forms concerning their private and public lives the students met in assembly and were dismissed early. Everyone appreciated the miraculous lack of classes on the iirst day. After trying on his new classes to see how they'd fit, everyone .set- tled down for the semester or rearranged his schedule until it suited him or until the office decided that he had changed enough. Along with the changing of autumn leaves came the spirited football season. Vivid orange and black banners waved amidst the crowds of Amherstonians who filled the stands to cheer for their Tigers. Ticket sellers ran about recruiting customers, and hot dog sellers drew hungry spectators as if by magic. Losses were cheerfully accepted, and victories were joyfully celebrated. This is football at Amherst. A Thanksgiving turkeys were eaten during the four-day holiday, and students returned to school to climb the rest of the road to Christmas vacation. as ii S XT f? fi .

STUDENT COUNCIL VVITH two delegates from each homeroom and the sup- port of the entire school, the Student Council embarked upon their plans for the year. High goals were reached during spirited VVar Fund and Red Cross drives, and money was also raised for the Paul King Memorial Fund. The always enjoyable movies were again pre- sented by the Council, and a pat.riotic waste vpaper campaign was conducted during the second semester.
