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.

VVinter!Study Time . .? Winter. A young man's thoughts turn to love in the spring, football in the fall, and study in the winter? Students return from Christmas vacation with promises of a 4.00. After all, what is there to do when the cold winter winds blow, but study? That idea was soon revised, as the Generals were faced with the tough decision of do we go to the basketball game or the wrestling match? As winter progressed and temperatures went below the zero mark, it meant getting up in the dark and returning home in gray dusk. Lines of stalled cars could be seen and each morn- ing students awoke hoping to hear school had been cancelled for the day. W Semester rolled around and it was time for last minute studying. The test came and went, as tests tend to do, and students were safe until next semester. Girls in semi-summer dresses tried to convince mother nature that spring was here to stay, but she had a mind of her own. As the days began to get longer once again, spirits rose and the Generals were here to stay. ABOVE: As the semester ends, Susan Mos- man makes last minute preparation for 'final exams.
