m Eventually, all good things must come to an end. But that doesn ' t mean that there won ' t be new good things beginning. Summer slips quietly into fall. Before you quite realize it, it ' s time to be back at school. The days of sleeping til 10:00 are over, caught up on the old familiar routines. It ' s not spring time, but the start of a new school season stirs an awakening within you. Back-to-school means a return to the books, but it also heralds the start of the football season. You, along with everyone else, get caught up in the excitement of a rousing game. Frost bites early and deeply this year, wilting the leaves and burnishing the pumpkins. The newly nippy air brings throngs out to watch the action. Every- one moves at a brisk pace anxious for a good seat. The bleachers are well packed long before the teams return to the field. As the game gets under way, the bleacher people become engrossed in the action on the field. Play after play brings the fans to their feet as the cheerleaders repeat the familiar chants: Beat ' em, beat ' em, beat ' em. Go, Fight, Win!! FALL FOOTBALL FRENZY 6 Opening

But as the summer wore on, and friends left for family vacations, you sometimes found yourself at a loss for com- pany. Then the hours passed more slowly and the summer stretched out long before you. It was like a newly awakened cat uncurling itself, getting the kinks out of its back. Long lazy afternoons of soaking up the sun didn ' t seem as wonderful as they did at first. Long hours faded into longer uneventful days. You wondered what you could ever find to do, and who could you find still around to share it with. You even got to thinking of cleaning out your room, or maybe the garage. Gads, was it ever boring!!! After awhile your thoughts even drifted back to school. Funny how enticing that ol ' pile of bricks got to be when you hadn ' t been there for two months. You sort of, kind of a little bit, well maybe, even, wished you were back in school. Then at least, there were friends to hang around with. And there was certainly always something to do! AS THE SUMMER SLOWLY UNCURLS - . . McKX ' - . ,ir ■W V • ' i w fitfy.- . ' I? Opening 5

A lot of talent, a lot of spirit, guts and good coaching have made it an awesome contender. There ' s something about them this year, something intangible yet real. Maybe it ' s their attitude. It ' s special. A confidence and pride, that this is the year that they are going to ' Go For It! ' This year will be like no other. That competitive, ' reach for the stars ' feeling seems pervasive. Everybody ' s got it: teams, coaches, students, staff. This will be known as the Year of the Lion. This Homecoming night is special, too. Fans of other teams, other seasons return to cheer on this year ' s squad. What a joyous racket, too. Old friends exchanging greetings and tales of where they ' ve been . . . It ' s good to be back. ?: 4X , ■ A. Opening 7
