-O-f" From The Principal IBy Stanley Kotzen Principal, Lower Cape May Regional High School

What is so rare as a day in October? With the smell of fall in the air the sights and sounds of a high school's athletic fields on a bright autumn afternoon are a sensory treat. Extra-curricular activities are not the reason for the existence of any high school program, but they express clearly an attitued and feeling that youngsters have for their school. If you have the opportunity to stroll across our vast expanse of playing fields any weekday afternoon. you will be encouraged and heartened by the dedication and enthusiasm of this community's youth. Douglas MacArthur. while commandant at West Point, was strongly devoted to athletics for all cadets and believed deeply that " Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that, upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory"' The value of competition and participation jump out at you as you stop and drink in the heady brew of excitement in the air. and the essence of the inscription of MacArthur's words mouhted on a plaque at the Military Academy take on a real meaning. From a vantage point on our fields at Lower Cape May Regional, this is what you will see and hear The Soccer team practice in the most distant part of the field is a blur of color and the sound of a heavy foot clearing the ball

followed by random shouts of "mark him" and "Hustle to the ball". Off to your left football players are thudding into a blocking sled or practicing tackling in the open field, accompanied by the crash of pads and the thump of bodies dropping on the turf. The accompaniment of the drills is the sound of the whistle and sporadic shouts of encouragement. A Girls Field Hockey game is in progress and a constant string of cheers comes from both teams in a verbal chorus of exchanges that seem to be the sound track recording of the athletic ballet of 22 girls running up and down the field chasing the little white ball with their curved sticks. Cross country runners are returning from a sixmile conditioning run and are spread out in extended single file pushing hard to finish with a personal-best time. Off to your right the constant "thurp" of the ball machine anticipates a solid return by the girls of the tennis team. Calls of "out" mix unrhythmically with the sounds of band practice and the synchronized yells of the cheerleaders whose chants drift to the field through open doors from the echo chamber that is our empty gymnasium. The color of a fall after noon and a dropping sun seem nature's way of reminding us at 5 o'clock on these afternoons that there is something uniquely American and vital in these proceedings They are rites of autumn and a I tribute to youth
