Fall activities beckon vacationing students Early in September DSF students reluctantly traded beaches, tennis courts, and summer jobs for classrooms, textbooks, and teachers. The football team, already re- acquainted with school because of weeks of practice during the summer, initiated afternoon sessions in preparation for the coming season. Incoming sophomores, bewildered by the first day in a new school, soon became familiar with winding corridors and elusive classrooms. Participation in high school hfe began with the election of junior varsity cheerleaders. Hopeful sophomore girls worked hard to learn cheers and to present them before all the stu- dents for the final selection. Senior Day in the library helped to acquaint ihe upperclassmen with the newest facilities for both re- search and enjoyment. After listening to an explana- tion of the organizatio n of library material, they were free to browse among the tables containing brand new books and suggested ideas for English term papers. In the auditorium, busy yearbook staff members checked for proper attire and smiling faces before send- ing juniors and sophomores backstage. Here, concealed behind the red curtain, a photographer patiently posed hundreds of students as he took individual pictures. With the kickoff of the first football game of the season, the transition from summer to fall was com- plete. Vacations faded into the background, and Rebels embarked on the journey through another school year. SPENDING THEIR STUDY HALL IN THE HUSHED LIBRARY, TWO SENIORS LEAF THROUGH READING MATERIAL.
