Fall!VVhat Has Begun . School started September 3, remember? The cool summer air welcomed some 2,300 Generals, some new, some old. The old veterans returned with mixed feelings, some with promises of diligent study and those who could really care less. Sopho- more Orientation greeted the newcomers, so they wouldn't seem so obvious, but then it never does much good does it? Students barely had time to put their nose to the grindstone when the football team finally made their comeback, compiling 49 points in their first two games and defeating rival Capitol Hill. Spirit ran high and in the halls could be heard a single phrase Who's gonna win this game tonight? lf you answered, We are, no matter your classification, you were A-OK. The Seniors may have had thoughts of living the easy life during this last year, but these evaporated when the heat of college entrance exams was turned on. Activities were not restricted to school, but perhaps more than ever before began to branch out into the community. Generals went to bat for the young generation by collecting over S500 for United Appeal. This year had a choice of not only two maior parties, but when George Wallace and the American Party ioined in, America had a three party ticket for the first time in twenty years. Despite protests, demonstrations, yippies, hippies, dip- pies and so on . . . the U.S. did get a new president, Richard M. Nixon and Fall made a noisy Fourth of July exit. it ABOVE: Fall's short-lived beauty is reflected at W Rogers Park. BELOW: Generals welcome football seas' and a time to show their spirit. 2 l
