Catherine the Great, known throughout Russia as the Little Mother, was one of the great martyers for love. Hoping to expand the circumference of her amorous experience, she left the fertile plains of Russia for the largely untested regions of Hanover, New Hampshire. The Indians were disappointing, as usual, and Catherine was advised to get a horse. The Band now forms the north end of a south bound horse.

Searching through antiquity one finds a group of martyrs who had a heavy cross to bear.

Commenting on his team's loss, Coach Matthew stated that the boys were unable to establish a running game.
[Play "Roar Lion Roar", Form French Fry]
However, none of these martyrs can hold a torch to that glowing figure in French history, Joan of Arc. Quick to temper, but slow to burn, Miss Arc never fully realized what was at stake until it was too late. The Band now forms a French Fry.
