Changing colors of autumn meant wearing your favorite wool sweater on crisp mornings. It meant the crunch-crunch of leaves under your brown oxfords, chilly football games, the earth-brown leaves — once the colors of the rainbow, and dusk approaching earlier but making night life longer. Autumn meant that sleeping till noon on weekdays was a •‘no-no’’ for another nine months. It meant sighing to think that your skin, once richly bronzed, would again be ghostly pale. For the young-at-heart it meant pumpkins and parties — and, of course, those long streams of damp toilet paper hanging from the trees and shrubs of those lucky enough to get T.P.ed in honor of Halloween. ■ Cool and Crisp 16 Fan

Down to Earth Brings Yearbook Budget Up Down to Earth, the fall play, was sponsored by the Sagamore and directed by Sagamore adviser. Dan Krueger. The play, an original work also by Krueger, was a comedy fantasy about a seventeen-year-old girl, Emily Long, whose grandmother returns five years after her death to liven and at times complicate her granddaughter’s life. As the day for production approached, the cast just couldn't seem to get their act together. Plagued by conflicting schedules and a seeming lack of commitment, some seemed to be in doubt as opening night drew near. “I really wasn't sure how it was going to go at first,” said senior Rod Franks. But as the curtain went up. everything seemed to go off quite well as the play drew numerous and frequent outbursts of laughter from the audience. The cast included: Amy Krueger as young Emily. Amy Ross as Grandma. Damian Burkhalter as Charles Long. Terry Kolesar as Debbie Long. Rod Franks as Rick Long. Margaret Berg as the nurse and Heather. Bob-Nymoen as Grandpa. Lauren Seirup as Emily Long, Paul Kuffel as Steve Duffy. Jenny Dustin as Melanie Peterson. Kate Bell as Miss Rathbone. and Rick Vatsaas as Scott Fletcher. The play was sponsored by the Sagamore Staff in order to raise money to meet the cost of the book. 18 FaB Play
