flllllltarllltll As we prepare to leave Ilion High School and our fleeting Senior year has all but slipped from our grasps, it is time to look back and remember a few of those things that add a special touch to our memories of the Ilion High School beyond the classrooms. It is a time for remembering tradi- tions-the traditions that become so integral a part of every graduating Senior class. HOMECOMING The big weekend in the fall is Homecoming. Student Council, the cheer- leaders, and the entire student body spend weeks of preparation, all for that last home football game. And then it all races past--the boy cheerlead- ers, the noon pep rally of Friday with the crowning of the Queen, the bonfire Friday night and the short sock hop afterwards, the parade to the game and the big Homecoming Dance on Saturday night. It is a time of excitement for everyone, but perhaps more important, it is a chance for alumni to relive a weekend in the spirit of youth. HERKIMER-ILION GAME By far the most important football game every year is the game with Herki- mer. Since its beginnings in 1920, the game has grown to its present stature as an annual classic. Records might as well be thrown to the wind when these two teams meet for the last contest of the gridiron season. Expeditions to capture and recapture mascots and dummies, pep rallies, and the certain secret magic behind this game all fire both teams to a peak. Anything can and does happen, and a victory against Herkimer often makes an otherwise gloomy season a success. CLASS GAMES After the basketball season and sectional competition are over, class unity again appears on the school scene. Preparation starts for class games. The Juniors and Seniors work feverishly on themes and costumes. The underdog Freshman and Junior teams always enter the games hoping for an upset over the Sophs and Seniors. Open houses follow the games, and, win or lose, they are al- ways lively.
