It was very important that escorts be lined up and the sooner the better. The parade was longer, the pep rally was bigger,and the game at- : tracted more fans than ever before. But instead of being the beginning of the end, the sports event was just the start. ting to resemble prom night more and more.

There might have been a few lame backs for those who Cleaned up after the less dignified celebrations of a decade ago, but we'll bet there was a lot lea mental strain "in the good old days." Nothing makes us happier tb&n noting the leadership of local young folks as they leave their home town and enter. into even greater competition.
