After three months of warm weather, sunny days, and happy times during the sum- mer the arrival of Fall presents drastic change. More often than not, the skies seem overcast, the days become shorter, and the trees lose their summer green, becom- ing instead an array of colorful Hues that only Mother Nature can provide. The temperatures drop from the 90 ' s of mid-summer to the 40 ' s and 50 ' s and the gentie breezes become more and more frequent. The whole world seems a dark and dreary place, one that anybody would glad- ly trade for a sunny day. It is not only the weather that changes during Autumn, but also the attitude. The general mood of the times becomes one of depression and sadness, partly because of the condition, partly because of school. But there is also something else. Fall makes people realize that life is not always joyful like sum- mer, but many times resembles Autumn, because there are sad moments and feelings of depression that everyone must face and overcome. Fall is not all bad, though. There is excite- ment in the air because of football. There is awe in everyone ' s hearts as Mother Nature proudly displays what she can do, splashing brilliant colors on everything. There are festive occa- sions to enjoy like Halloween and Thanksgiving. There is more pleasant weather for those who are tired of the dog-day summer. And best of all, there is the thought that Winter (and Christmas, and maybe some snow) are right around the corner. FALL 9
