For days before the event, tension fill- ed the halls, readying the students to witness one of the bitterest rivalries in Hanover’s history.

In a few days, mysterious vandals marked the posters with “respectful” replies (the respect being for the teachers’ age): Faculty Kicks Geritol.” It was not dif- ficult to conclude that National Honor Society’s annual Senior Faculty basket- ball game was quickly approaching.

The faculty (with no coaches coaching, but two on the team) found the seniors a fiesty opponent. The final score was 77-71, the faculty remaining victorious for another year. But the whole feeling of the game was sum- med up in Bob Beck’s last second, full- court shot that went in a moment after the buzzer. The seniors never gave up.
