The water actually follows Jay Harper's movement in an unsuccessful try to grabbing an apple. Ty Harrison and Mike Harmon are amused by the failure October may have been the month of Watergate, the midnight massacre, the Arab-Israeli war and the resignation of Spiro Agnew as vice- president, but for AMA it was a rather quiet month overall. Local color was wild, with trees putting ona brilliant display. Pumpkins were about as large as they can get, and fields of corn, stocked in shocks offered proof that traditions still held out in the Shenandoah Valley. News came that Augusta had made the top rating from the past April. Again, it was a Distinguished Military School. October — 15 0 (Sixth Graders)

Rural Augusta County abounds in fields of mature corn in the fall. MUMMY HELP! Swathed in cloth, Mal Livick makes off with a victim. Tom White and the second Mummy, Keith Sterling, picks up a panicked Bill Huegel. Nothing is quite like the night of ghouls and witches. That’s especially true when there are mummies, Draculas, skeletons, and coffins with bodies in them. Officers of ‘‘F”’ company put on a real show for the Lower School men. Each youngster is shown thru the chamber of horrors with a record player going full blast with screams, owls, and moans filling the air. After that introduction to the spirit of the night, bobbing for apples seems rather tame. But there is always cider, ginger snaps, and candy to calm everyone down. October — 17 0 (Seventh Graders)
