The Fall Season At Hall September—“A September Song”—a rhythm of excited, laughing faces—a new flock of green “freshies”—sophomores feeling and acting a bit more grown-up—juniors, now upperclassmen—seniors wondering if they really are seniors and feeling quite important—the election of class officers—the organization of all the clubs—studies begin in earnest—the end of the month—we gain an extra hour of “shut-eye” as we go off daylight saving time—the year has started off with a “bang”. October—“Falling Leaves”—see the Hall fans excited and yelling hoarsely at football games; St. Bede, La Salle-Peru —the fun at the hops after the games—the first six weeks comes to an end—report cards—we’re right “in the groove”. November— “Harvest Moon”—more hops, more fun, more studies—Dogpatch brought to Hall through the Sadie Hawkins Dance—the tickling senior play “Ramshackle Inn”—the end of the football season, and a third of the year becomes just “Memories”.
