The goodfbad, upfdown See! The color! Reds. Whites. Glowing, shining. Warmth and purity. Listen! The sounds! Exuberant, lifted high and loud. Joy and enthusiasm . Touch! The golden sweetness ofa day. Love and life. Smell! Popcorn and hot chocolate. Blending. Salt and cocoa. Taste! Drink deeply of the goodfbad, upfdown student life at Fox. From the first swinging open of doors on and early September day, Fox High has vibrated with the vigorous living and working of its students . After the first confusion, just as the world stopped spinning again, the athletes charged to the front of pupil consciousness. Their hardy appearances and tough play- ing kept all eyes upon them as they fought through the season. From the stands, throughout the year, audiences gave their all. Girls screamed wildly and catapulted into the air at each tactic. Grunts alone shot from male throats whether they knew Fox could do it! or the sentiments were less pleasant. Twirling gaily and shouting above the din, cheerleaders made patterns of color and life. Every team played felt the full sting of Warrior action. None of the games, even those with a losing score for Fox, left Warrior watchers disappointed. Football players fought with a hard, rough spirit, the basketball teams played with whirling, twirling, dribbling, skill. B team football players excelled this year--For them the turnout was as full of anticipation and excitement as for any professional team . Their undefeated season is cause for the pride Fox High feels. The year begins with football ' The girls yell as the season closes Studies endure as the days wear on Sometimes the day is important 40

student life at Fox High. ' - Q. P Cage Ball is a game of team work for physical education, it's social learning, too. Go! Go get 'em Warriors! The gaiety of Carnival Time, of lights, of color, of youth . . . Homecoming, as always, opened with a vibrant yell for victory. Committees formed dissolved, formed again, and somehow, through all the fun, floats were built, curtsies practiced, and the weekend melted away. PTA Carnival time was bright and profitable. Two one-act plays, a talent show, and numerous games netted new athletic equipment. Throughout the year, the candidacies for various coronations resulted in the usual flurries of breathless Can-I-have-a -note-to -get -out -of-class-to -make-posters- thanks. Each season tingled with expectancy as the dance settings drew emotions to new heights. Lace clouds of dresses billowed over the floor and the evenings were punctuated with soft, good laughter. Coronations were dimly -lighted ceremonies as lovely queens bowed and smiled amid applauding crowds. The informal Ha-Ko party theme of Sock Stomp required all attending to wear socks, preferably decorated, and to dance without shoes . Renewed flat scenery, decreased supplies of grease paint, and stage -frightened actors were only some results of the three plays presented in the course of a year. And so it went. All these are but a few of the 1963-64 high points. Oh, there were many more--as many, perhaps, as there were individuals to make them, but these are some of the peaks. 41
