THE GAMES... Thump, thump, thump. Thump, thump, thump, thump. No, not things that go thump in the night, rather, these noises characterized things that went thump in the light. Charging the fuse to Callaway lightning, the drums started pep rallies off with a thump and a roll. The moment these heart- beats started, the big, orange gym- nasium came to life: A stir arose in the bleachers; breath flowed into the lungs of the crowd and cheers flew loose from their mouths; and in came the tuba players who strolled into a march along the gym court ' s floor. The more lively side of Callaway had made its appear- ance. This side included brief demon- strations of gametime perfor- mances. At pleasurable, although infrequent periods, the pep squad and the Chargettes illustrated what they did at the games. Approval of their actions, apparent by even louder shouts, came rapidly. At the rise of a finger, a hushed moment interrupted the scene. During this interval, the football captains addressed a few words to the Chargers. The crowd then re- sumed its cheerfulness and, led by the cheerleaders, cheered away. Rhythmic chants accompanied by stomps and claps slowly built up until the gymnasium roared into a blazing climax. Then, the action fell by degrees into its denoument as the Chargers drifted back to earth and to their classes. Ride ' em horsy. Jimmy Bolls ' s tuba serves as arking place.

Smile, even when it hurts. Chargettes give Charger smiles even while exercising. The deadline dilemma. The annual staff pool their brains as minds get weary in the late hours. If they could see us now. The faculty gives its complete attention during an after-hour meeting. After Hours 23
