Sunshine on the shoulder. Rick Roever, Scott Bender, and Les Mygrant satisfy their summer longings as they catch a few rays over their lunch period. Beautiful Indiana. Brown County State Park is a popular place for weekend camping trips in the fall because of its colorful hillsides and breathtakmg views. Fair play. The Bluffton Street Fair makes for a week of fun and spending. Norwell students cluster and converse in the fair ' s midway. With autumn came adjustments and com- mitments. It was a time for erasing the irrespon- sibihty of vacation and forgetting the frivolous folly of summer. The time had come once again to work, practice, and study. Fall brought many experiences unique to its season. Students endured their first full month of school, enjoyed the local street fairs, and emptied their pockets of a summer ' s fortune for supplies and fees. To awaken and discover the result of friends ' admiration in the form of toilet paper in trees and soap on windows was common during this season. Crawling out of bed became more difficult as each morning came darker and colder than the last. The urge to remain snuggled under the covers was seemingly unconquerable. Yet, when the day ' s adventiu ' es filled the mind, miss- ing such a day by staying in a warm bed was unthinkable. As the temperature dropped and the sun ' s in- tensity decreased, heavy coats, sweaters, scarves, and mittens came out of storage. The cban.ij ' In temperature was evidenced in the ad- ded eqiripioen! the teams needed when prac- Autumn Adjustments ticing outside. Cross Coimtry runners found stocking caps to be necessary, football players put on long Johns, and tennis players donned sweatsuits. Despite the chill in the air, athletes remained persistent. The cold had little effect on the fans ' atten- dance. Even as the temperatures fell, school spirit outweighed the dread of the cold. Wool blankets, winter coats, and close companions took away the chill or maybe it just made the chilling endurable. As the season brought changes, the changes brought work. Leaves required continual raking to keep ahead of their mess. Wardrobes demanded re-evaluation and expansion to pro- perly protect the body from the elements of autumn. Cars needed winterization to prevent premature deterioration. Even though the fall was mild, the season did a sufficient job of warning that winter was on its way. As winter approached, the prospect of the return of warm sunny days grew dim, and the reality of summer faded to a memory. The lazy days spent at the pool or hangin around were gone forever, or so it seemed.
