Here he makes one last attempt before going to his homeroom teacher. There was a slight hint of Fall in the air that first September morning, as we approached the school after two glorious months of vacation. It was still summer, but to us the first day of school meant the beginning of a colorful autumn season. We were eager to rejoin our friends and begin another challenging school year. The spirit of football rang through the halls as the date set for the first game of the season grew closer. How could we ever forget those exciting football games and the many times we came home from the game speechless after cheering our team on to victory!

Neither rain nor defeat could keep us from supporting our team to the finish. These, a.nd many more, are autumn memories which we'll long remember.
