79 014 J-H95 l20l LZI2 How anxious we all are for the first game on our own lighted field. The band practices for days getting into its best marching formation, cheer leaders coach the Freshies for entrance into the All-Student Root- ers Clubg Hi-Y boys and Girl Reserves order eatsg blankets are pulled out of moth ballsg and the classes start off with a round of cheers. Ticket takers and policemen are on the job early, too early for some small boys, who are searching for the narrowest point in Dane Creek. Next on the scene are the hog-dog and candy salesmen hustling about to get their stands ready. Soon the band members in their snappy red and white uniforms come stepping across the footbridge. No, they won't mind the cold for those uniforms cover layers of warm underclothing. Now the crowd starts coming across the bridge and through the auto drive. Soon the Ord fans are located on the bleachers and the visitors lined up on the opposite side. The electricians tinker with the lightsj Bud bustles here and there, ever important and watchfulg Wilma, Charlotte, and Harold take their stand in front of the cheering section. The kick-off! The fight is on! The rooters rush first to one end of the field and then to the other, offering expert advice. Tense moments! Cheers! Groans! Now and then time-out gives the spectator a chance to realize his feet are numb. He stamps about a bit, or huddles closer in his blanket and gets ready to 'fhold that line. The half is over and the score is six to nothing in Ord's favor. Let's have a hot-dog and a cup of coffee. No, we can't go now for the band is coming on the field. Such a band! Snap and pep itself, from the director to the uniforms. We mustn't miss it. Now for that hot-dog! All gone? Well, a candy bar will do. Settled just in time. What a game! Ord scored against? No, that can't be! Yes? Never mind! We'll soon break that tie. . Say, are those my feet or cakes of ice? Who cares? Ord must get another touchdown! How much more time? Oh ------ see him go! Boy, a touchdown! A touchdown! Another good game over. Now the grand rush for the footbridge and the parketl cars.

First basketball practice of the season. Ping-pong runs close rival to perpetual motion. Red and White Banquet. We find the football stars can make toasts as well as touchdowns. The debate teams go to St. Paul and persuade all the teams there, except Grand Island's, that State Medicine , is the thing. Girl Reserves revert back to childhood and trim a Xmas tree. Ord demonstrates new basketball rules for Loup Valley visitors. The biggest drawing attraction of the school year-the annual Christmas program. The first day of winter, but who cares about that? It's the first day of Christmas vacation that matters. JANUARY Best wishes for a successful Leap Year! 37 to 19 in St. Paul's favor. Too bad Ord! But you can't keep a good team down. Ord 28, Sargent 24. The Chanticleers are coming right up! The Juniors get in a bunch of 'famateursn to put on their class day program for them. Pop-Eye must have had an extra helping of spinach. He made quite a hit. Sophomore class surely has a fine bunch of babies-but you wouldn't think they would admit it publicly. Doubled the score on Scotia. Must have been the effect of that popular music we enjoyed in convocation. You know- The Music Goes Round and Round? Yes, another game. This is basketball season, in case you haven't heard. Kearney, we did hate to lose that game, but we made you work to win it. A new semester. Here's where I turn over a new leaf. Oh, heck, they're stuck together! Junior High convocation. No babies nor amateurs either. There is real talent in that bunch. This time Ravenna was the loser-the score, 35 to 15. FEBRUARY That Heart Sister of mine keeps me running all over this build- ing, but I don't mind. Arcadia, maybe you can hold us in football, but you surely can't in basketball. Chanticleers brave worst storm of the year to keep an appoint- ment with the Broncos at Hastings, only to be snowed under 41 to 10. Freshmen laugh at the elements from the snug pro- tection of their airport. Broken Bow breaks Ord's spirits-but not beyond repair. Who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin ? It pays to know. Confetti, horns, telegrams, pop, puppets, fortunes, King and Queen of Hearts! Guess what! Such a mess! The morning after the evening before. Mr. Cass stars in ping-pong. He should beat a Freshie. Doctor in Spite of Himself? Thank you, Sterling players, for the entertainment. St. Paul, Loup Valley Tourney Cham- pions in spite of Ord. Thanks, boys, for the free-throw trophy. The Sophomores must be Scotch. They see a double feature.
