In September we flocked back flaunt- ing our carefully acquired tans. It was different this time. There were old friends to greet, new rooms to decorate, and, strangest of all, new freshmen.

That was the year our toot- ball team had an undefeated season, lremember the two games with Frank- Iin?l and our boys played an important role in its successes.
