“Beat Navy!”
Freshmen won’t lose any time in getting a chance to
voice their school spirit this term with the first football pep
rally of the season scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Friday on the
front lawn of Old Main.
Cheerleaders will lead both frosh
the traditional cheers and songs
that accompany the opening of the
football season. Penn State’s first
game is Saturday with the Naval
Academy
In addition to the old cheers,
three new cheers the winners
of last year's cheer contest, will
be introduced.
Frosh will gel a chance to
practice up on the songs and
cheers by referring to their stu
dent handbooks which contain the
words to most of the traditional
songs and cheers.
Once the football season gets
into full swing, frosh should be
warned that: a) It is not against
the law for ten or more students
to ride on a single car after vic
tories over (1) Army (2) Syracuse
and (3) Pitt; b) Sleep may very
well be disturbed by spontaneous
noisy torchlight parades prior to
one or more of the games men
tioned above; c) Freshmen men
may very well be drafted for
dawn patrol guard duty at the
Nittany Lion statue, defending the
mascot against “painting'’ raids by
fans of opposing football teams.
Organized demonstrations of
school spirit (like pep rallies!
are held throughout the foot
ball season before every game
either in front of Old Main or
on the Heizel Union lawn.
These rallies are organized by
the Block S Club and feature!

PEP RALLIES like this spon
taneous eruption after last year’s
Army game will be a frequent
sight this fall. Whether organ
ized or unorganized, with this
year’s football schedule students
will want to give the Nittany
Lions all the support they can
muster.
GUARDING THE LION from aggressive enemy painters will be
a job designated to some stalwart freshmen this year. In past
years underhanded Picassos have usually managed to sneak by
the shrine’s defenders. Perhaps this year will be different.
