MOMENTS OF SUSPENSE: THE HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME Perhaps one of the best places for the display of Color and excitement so often associated with College life is the football stadium. When the waited for moment arrived, crowds poured into the stadium, equipped with blankets, banners, and refreshments. After the crowd settled down in their places, after the warm-ups, came the s-s-s-boomln from the crowd' the ball tumbled into the air to set a tense 3 contest of strategy and power into motion. By half-time, everyone excitedly discussed chances for victory, but as the game got off to another brisk start after the half, Capes chances sunk lower and lower. Finally the Indians had to admit defeat. Yet, the day was a good oneg spirits were still undampenedg and there would always be another year.

A preoccupied college awakened to find that the season had changed and students al- most automatically made the necessary adjustments for their society. Topcoats and furs began to emergef bermuda shorts and sneakers were mailed home or filed carelessly in closets. Basketballs and skates were inspected and made ready, and students, some expectantly, some appre- hensively, looked to the skies for snow.

Forgotten examinations smiled down at a moment's notice, unfinished term projects demanded immediate at- tention. Frantically notes were borrowed, test files were hauntedg and coffee, eyestrain, and frustration kept everyone at high pitch. The end of semesters found the college enveloped in a silence that was born not so much of accomplishment, but of relief. Spring term break came round at last. fm
