A boy, a girl, a bicycle built for both... a fire, a picnic, the out of doors and sunlight. .. and over all, the haze of spring. rin In the spring, life takes on a special meaning. It's a time of discovery, a time when the Whole world seems to emerge from a shell and present itself, vibrant and fresh. There's a haze and a glow about everything. Classrooms seem musty, a part of another age. Former pleasures seem dull and tasteless. Nature twits the senses and the out of doors beckons. It's a time for meeting new people, a time for doing things-anything to be active. It's a time for falling in love.

Southern's wandering Spring Festival Midway moved to the Dowdell Halls field across the tracks in '56. Here, Festival co-chairmen Carol Keeney and Bob Dunkel study plans for it. Acacia won first place, Sigma Kappa second in booth competition.

She won the beauty contest in a field of 21 entries. Other Hnalists were Fran Mfillielm, Anita Credi, Karen Campe and Millie Ahner. 4. I didllyt think I had a chance. I was ready to go back and put my clothes on. Surprised Bobbie wails as other finalists crowd around offering congratulations. That's Nancy Bowers, 1955 Miss Southern, approaching with the crown for Bobbie.
