Sometimes leafing through old family snapshots can be some sort of self-inflicted torture. Without exception, stuck in somewhere with those happy memories of baby days is at least one picture of a tall-gangly, legs-too-long, hair-too-short thirteen year old with an embarrassed grin. I shudder to remember those painful days of early adolescence, and all the confusion and humiliation I suffer- ed with modern man's form of the puberty rite. The movie "The Summer of *42" recreates those funny and painful experiences Director Robert Mulligan uses a flashback technique to show us the story of three boys and how each goes about discovering his manhood in a unique way. I urge everyone to see this movie. You'll laugh, but you'll remember and you'll rejoice in the superb acting, the beautiful photography and the tender treatmeant of the love scenes. • • * At the Tabernacle this weekend we have Dana Cooper.

With the help of Kent Baldry, I have attempted to observe the impact these men have had on Concordia football over the last four years. Once one has dedicated his life to something for over ten years it is sad to see it come to an end. Winning last Saturday left the team with a feeling of both sadness and contentment for their con- tribution to the Concordia football legacy was complete.
