V 9 y lid flame-colored forests and c breezes, we suddenly see that ime for us to approach again Mississippi-guarded sanctum ig our a b c's. After a happy Hi-Ho to the many Joes we've possibly forgotten during our summer solace we buy books and just bang around for a time. We see that autumn is again here with our annual retreat, homework headaches, and wistful waits for streetcars. Autumn brings the time of roughin' up the pigskin a bit—the time when gay gals in blue jeans hop in the old jalop and buzz out to the bleachers to lend the support of their feminine finesse to make this first game a smashing Islander victory—when homecoming buttons veritably blare forth their threats to our challengers whose defeat we believe, with the faith of Job, is certain. We'll always remember, too, the fun we had at the Homecoming Dance and dinner at the Red Feather with that best gal. Our autumn, too, is the season of Hallowe'en and of the pumpkin which recalls to us the efforts of our Pilgrim Fathers who led us to observe Thanksgiving with its turkey, cranberries, and all the fixin's. It's the season of the hunter, who, at the crack of dawn, with his trusty bird dog, frightens the haughty mallard as it ducks and splashes about in the echoing retreats of the marsh. With autumn the beginning of the school year, we like to think our freshmen personify it, for, like the autumn sun peering into a country valley of peace and contentment, our freshmen are taking their first look at a high school career of pleasure and achievement.
