cheered the loudest and showed the best sportsmanship. Shucks,I didn’t catch their decision.Time has come for me to march down that long aisle. Mr. Higgins grabs me and after what seems like an eternity, he reaches the microphone. All is still as the announcement is made. Well, what - do you . know,the . sopho-mores get me this time. As the class president takes a hold of my1'collar, he gives me a little shake. I can talk at last!The afternoon has faded away forever and the cool night air is closing in as all sit in the stands eagerly awaiting the game.Here come the Red Riders running onto the field with determination in each stride. They know if they put forth every ounce of effort and work as a team, victory no doubt will be their reward.Are those the drums I hear? Sure enough. That band really looks sharp marching down the field. All up for the “Star Spangled Banner.” It is wonderful to hear the crowd sing the National Anthem. Sometimes I wish I could sing instead of ring.
