It was the last road trip defeat and the closing event of a fall full of good times, cheer, and song. Tables were soon turned to winter activities and each day saw its share of a blistery Iowe winter. The marching J-Hewks were driven inside along with the end of the football season and its mild fall weather. The band and orchestra com- bined with the choirs to practice feverishly and produce one of the finest Christmas presen- tations ever seen in the Jeff theatre. The actors and actresses of the comedy Auntie Mame produced a well-received fall play in early November. The entire student body had a lot to sing about in the fall of 1978.

avln fug Fr As the school doors opened for another year, unfamiliar students were acquainted and united as J-Hawks with the playing of the fight song. Students and faculty were able to struggle through a strenuous first term and adjust to the closed campus, homeroom registration, and final exams in each class. Winter held its icy breath until almost the last minute. Yet, the winds did blow and the snow did fly, and the weather grew steadily worse. It was the beginning of new individual goals and tasks. Winter athletes were set to the challenging job of following in the footsteps of the successful fall squads. New coaches and techniques accom- panied the teams as they united for a feeling of teamwork and unity each time the fight song was played. 6 Opening Section
