Below—“Von’t you come into the tomb of Bonnie Boyce? She is preparing for her role as Vampirella in the Drama Club’s Tricks and Treats Show. The briskness of the autumn air was refreshing relief from the last balmy days of Indian summer. The breezy winds also nudged the colored leaves off of their branches and sent them dancing like butterflies to the brown carpet below. This same brisk air enlivened Northeastern’s stu- dents and blew them into various ac- tivities. Some became mighty war- riors and played football on Friday nights, while others marched down the field playing shiny instruments. Always Fantastic Fall revived us and made us want to get out and fully en- joy life by being involved. Work Done? Let’s Have Fun!

STUDENT LIFE When one looked at the sun sift- ing through the red and gold autumn leaves, he felt as though he was look- ing through a splendid, stained glass window. It was this wonderful natural beauty of autumn that created a spe- cial atmosphere for students to be- come more contemplative and to find serene peace within themselves. At Northeastern, students were encouraged to observe the natural beauty of their surroundings, for the indulgence in the intrinsic world could be not only as refreshing as fall’s chilly air, but also inspiring and enlightening for the mind.

Those first gym classes for- cibly awaken aches, pains, and a powerful desire for a few minutes rest!

The Autumn, with its leaves like flaming torches of gold burning brightly against a veiled and violet haze, contained perhaps some of the most inspiring moments in human existence. Its beauty ushered in a new school year, and at North- eastern, a beginning when everyone could renew their minds, raise their sights, and become the best versions of themselves. The fall at NHS meant that her students could work, play, start over again together, and mature and grow — then harvest all that they had come to know. Upper right—This Eagle is up a tree!
