Summer skidded to an abrupt end. Mournfully, brief shorts and briefer bathing suits, bright dirndl skirts and gay peasant blouses, that cute summer dress that HE liked and those darling straps we know as shoes were relinquished to mothballs. ln turn, the mothballs relin- quished long sweaters, sharp skirts, bobby sox and flopping loafers essential to the Belles of Battin! Lowly 'Sophs' were distinguished from the worthy upperclass- men by rustling paper bags, frilly little aprons, and painfully bewil- dered expressions. A dusting job was done on inkless pens, pointless pencils and battered books for the first day of school which witnessed the chatter of one thousand three hundred and thirteen girls bubbling over with tales of the summer's escapades. Pink slips, yellow slips, white slips, red slips, green slips, purple slips, plaid slips loops, pardon the slipll bestowed upon each girl a delightful case of writer's cramps. Sched- ules were compared with those of our best friends and when new teachers were introduced for some unknown reason there was a definite surplus of aspiring artists. Halls plastered with campaign signs, heated campaign speeches, and frenzied campaign managers, all of which led to the class election. Lily-white arms were bared for trickling alcohol and THE PATCH! Tragedy struck the Seniors when the juniors captured the volley- ball championship. This year, dear old Chris Columbus discovered America on the wrong day-Saturday! So, we were deprived of an annual day of freedom. Penny banks were robbed to help fill the familiar Red Cross boxes. The dreaded evening, Parents' Night, arrived and the awful truth was revealed to harassed parents by harassed-er teachers. Football, this year's unspoken subject, was the theme of Battin's first all-school dance, the motto of which was- l walk on my feet, tool Falling leaves and falling faces signified the close of the first marking period and the end of autumn. .
