Each season provides its ov n thrills Our most vivid memories come in different forms — visions, sounds, touch, and smells. The atmosphere at sports events is particularly suggestive to all of these. Football is synonymous with Fall. The briskness of the air, the fans ' shouts resounding in the darkness, and the flashy HCHS band marching onto the lighted field — these things add to our memories of football. From the moment v e line up for our basketball tickets to the lost shout of a tourney game, our lives are filled with numerous impressions which make Hoosier Hysteria all the more popular. The close- ness of the air filled with the din of yells is unfor- gettable. Coupled with the aroma of warm popcorn these impressions make our memories of the gomes indelibly complete. Excited seventh graders make ready to voice opinions for their choice of a chomp at a sectional pep session. Eyeing the candy bars wistfully, Steve Schultz finally decides on only a coke. Dick Hawkins waits his turn in line.

Mondays ring a mutual dread in the ears of all students. After the fun of weekends the prospect of five days of school is particularly painful, but in typical teenage fashion we managed to have fun during school too. Our friends add relief to the duldrum of school. Before school at morning and noon, students filled the foyer to talk, to watch noon league, and to goof off. Others mingled in the familiar dog-house. Even during the four minutes between classes we found time to exchange quips and news with our friends or to walk our girl friend to class. Often algebra class becomes much more interesting with the hot-prospect sitting across from you. The people we see and meet at school are our friends outside of school. When weekends roll around again, we rejoin our classmates at record hops, ball games, movies, bowling parties or just riding around. Occasionly weeknights brought social fun too. Decorating the halls at Christmas time and for the tourney proved to be gay as the decorations themselves. Record hops and ti.e dance sponsored by our own Dance Band were the greatest. Club activities, such as the Roman and Hi-Y, Y-Teen banquets were worth all the weeks of planning. As our activities and interests change outside of high school, we shall regret that we can never quite recapture this. important in our life Whoops! What ' s our fine friend doing in the hall? For some reason Keith Moore seems hesitant to have his picture token. As Drinda Cole and Terry Smith begin with the lonely tree, fellow balloon blower, Dick Green, shows his great wind.
