Fall came late to the "Hill," following a long Indian SU1nmer. The beginning of the 1958- 1959 school year was a time for renewal of old friendships and the formation of new ones, as living quarters changed, and a new crop of freshmen arrived. For a short time "Rats" were the center of attention, unsuccessfully attempting to avoid sophomore persecution. Soon unusual antics were undulating from other quarters as Greek letter groups vied for attention. Blazers, football programs and occasional umbrellas were the signs of the season, as the "Hill' appeared in fall hues of orange and brown. The football season was accompanied by a siege of optimism and pep. Social events were climaxed by a cool and brisk Homecom- ing weekend, as returning alumni saw the Terror team bow to its opponent. The loss on HofJa Field was quickly forgotten, however, and Gill Gym that evening was packed with whirling couples. As fall events drew to a close, the Thanks- giving Play, presented by the senior dramatic art students, preceded a mass exodus to the highways heading toward home, sleep, turkey and more sleep.
