Emerson students found many ways in which to enjoy themselves before, during, and after football and basketball games. Before the football games there was the usual wait for buses which provided ample time for socializing. Before basketball games there was the long walk to Memorial Auditorium and the usual scurry for choice seats. A favorite pastime among the senior girls during basketball games was to tally the baskets of a single player. During football season, students either ran to get a good seat on the bus or searched for car keys after the game. During the basketball season, they made the usual rush from Memorial Auditorium to the Fla¬ mingo where pizzas, cokes, and conversation were in order. Of course, the girls who were going steady with a member of the team found themselves a part of the unique Waiting for my Boyfriend Club. Many football and basketball games will come and go, but for each Emersonian, the one most remem¬ bered will be the one in which the most fun was had, before, during and after the game, for that was the time that friends became closest. There will be many fond memories for future Emerson alumnae. Hey, he made another basket! O.K. girls. I ' m leading now! Sports Events Highlight Activities for Many Hurry up, fella ' s.
