...students in the high school cafeteria would speak excitedly of a hopeful new year and look forward to missing school days in April and May to attend baseball games with their dads. During the winter, looking forward to Sunday football games was one of the few reprieves from the cold, dreary, snowy, and generally depressing weather.
