,. - Y.. THE CATLINEAN Page Five In the Fall the school campus looked among one of the most beautiful in the state. The new trees set out the spring before, together with the older ones, formed a perfect frame for the school building. After the few weeks of late summer were past the campus appeared as bright and colorful as carnival grounds. Most of the trees lost their leaves gradually, excepting the Maiden's Hair trees, which shed their leaves in a day. September saw the school term begin, and after a few interruptions because of the hot weather it really began in earnest. Class elections and the annual elec- tion of the Athletic Board were held in the first week. An initiation, well planned by the Sophomores, welcomed the Freshmen, new students, and new teachers into the school. Quite a number of the Freshman boys were seen practicing on the football field along with the upper classmen. The Homecoming game and dance, along with the preparation for the carni- val, kept all spare time and energy used up during October. The band took to marching, led by a drum majorette and two baton twirlers, while the football team won over Ridgefarm 6 to 0. With the football season closed, the Sopho- more Saps and the Freshman Flops played a grudge battle. The Freshies lost 6 to 12. November 9 was the biggest day in that month. Days of advertising, prac- ticing, and work came to an end in a successful carnival. The basketball team in the new suits bought by the carnival proceeds opened the season with a victory over Potomac. The Juniors worked hard on the annual junior play which was given in December. 4
