came to High Point High School just preceded by a few brusque winds, fading sun tans, and a welcome decline in the polio epi- demic. For freshmen and sophomores this season meant the beginning of a new and important adventure. As their memories of summer faded away, thoughts of the new experiences ahead took their place. This anticipation was not wasted, for the fall of '48 was a time filled with activity, hard work, and unforgettable fun. First of all were the accomplishments of that glorious Black Bison football team, Defeated only once in their regular schedule of games, the Bison found themselves runners-up for the Western Conference Championship. Constituting one of the brightest spots in the high school year was the homecoming tilt with Greensboro. From the shortest crepe paper streamer to the actual winning of the game everything was Hjust tops! The band was a very active organi- zation during autumn. Its members were constantly going through for- mations, planning trips, or just giving with a little Hafter hour jazz. With a copy deadline to meet or a few more pictures to paste-up, the brains and hands of the PEMICAN statl members were kept quite busy during the entire fall. Registration of transfer students is an important feature during the first part of September. Ixff-f In rz',qlzl.' Albert Hale, Nancy Earle, and Betty Ann Kepley go over registration problems with Mrs. Doris Teague, other: assistant. Always at work on some new proj- ect, student council workers never seemed to have an idle moment. They always had some extra football badges to sell, some more wget-well cards to send or another assembly to plan. No one will want to forget the ef- ficiency of all the administrative indi- viduals, headed by Mr. Whitlt'y. They, by their guidance and helpfulness, be- came an important part of the every- day life of the students. L This early morning drag T into the building is typical K of fall days just before jack Frost sends them Q in quickly.
