Fall is the climax of the year. A tangy c r is pne s s in the air replaces our summer drowsiness with alert vitality. The week days are full of the back-to-school feeling that is all tied up with plaid dresses, school satchels, and apples for the teacher. Getting back in the familiar classroom routine is pleasantly com- fortable for some r ea s on. Fridays are re- served for football games with all their hulla- baloo and spicy excitement, while weekends are one lazy haze with the autumn hill side s turning scarlet and gold and flame before our very eyes. The velvet blackness with its red- gold moon comes more quickly now, and our sweater feels cozy on nippy mornings . There's the hilarious gaiety of the freshmen's uneasi- ness, a school spirit une qualed, a secure, glowing atmosphere like relaxing in the warm sun. From where does all this magic come? We're just guessing, but we think Jack Frost brings it down from the north country.
