The Highlander - The Bairn magazine - Fall, 1966 of our SENIOR YEAR!

FIELD DAY!, SAT exams, the MUMA Manifesto, college applications, football, term papers, Funsapoppin', and all:  No wonder we all experienced the embryonic (or more advanced) stages of senioritis.  For the time being, all we have for you from that banner semester is this special edition of the November The Bairn magazine from The Highlander, dedicated entirely to FIELD DAY!  We'll be adding the regular fall 1966 weekly editions of The Highlander as we approach, fall 2026.  Keep a lookout for more issues of your favorite read of 1966!

Many thanks to Jim Tripp for archiving this and other items, through the decades, and for forwarding it on for all of us to enjoy!

Red Ants! / Red Ants! / Can't be beat! / Because they have little red feet! /

They're tough, they're industrious, / Beyond that, they're red! /

And they have little red antennas [sic]  / Sticking out of their heads! /

GO RED! / GO WHITE! / RED ANTS! / FIGHT, FIGHT!
