Amazingly, students nearly always won, but then there was always the familiar warning, Now re- member, be careful. Having an active son or daughter meant extra duties for parents. It might be deliver- ing gear-everything from pompons to sweat socks-or heating up dinner for their late ar- river. All this teamwork added up to a year that, though sometimes hectic, proved. both rewarding and memorable for everyone. r E Q I i X
