Parents and teachers get a chance to demonstrate how to play real basketball in the PTA basket- ball game; a new and more glam- orous Mr. St. Stephens is chosen to replace the old and fast fading last year’s winner; and the students at St. Stephens celebrate Sadie Haw- kins Day by coming dressed as UP Abner and Daisy Mae. An assembly full of stirring music and practical jokes is enjoyed during the day. Later in the evening following Sadie Hawkins Day, a dance is held in the gymnasium. But whether it is the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Mr. St. Stephens pageant, or just the PTA basketball exhibition, Spring brings significant events for everyone. Mr. St. Stephens, Mark Bumgarner, gives all of his admirers a big victory smile. SPRING 29
