 Don’t Get Hurt, Tommy. Chapter II 'I takes a lot of preparation to make a homecoming celebration such as we are used to having at Ripon, a lot more preparation than the casual observer would ever realize. He never sees the stacks of wood and paint and cardboard piled in every basement, paint- smeared students staying up late Homecoming eve to put the last touches on their floats and house decorations, worried committees dashing around to see that final arrangements arc com- plete for that homecoming banquet. But Ripon has never had the reputation of being a poor host to its alumni, which explains why so many of them come back to their old school every year. And when the football team takes the field at the climax of the celebration, the casual observer does not realize the work those fellows have put in to perfect even the simplest-appearing play. Night after night for weeks and months, the freshman and varsity teams battle in sunshine and snowstorm until the most complicated maneuvers come almost as naturally as breathing. Win or lose on Saturday, the team is out on the practice field the next Monday in that constant striving for perfection which does not cease until the last game has been played.
