the sun worshippers . - - Easter vacation is one anticipated by all. With mid- terms behind us, the sudden need for complete recupera- tion seizes us. Florida beckons the sun-worshippers, while libraries, and quiet places in general, have a strong attraction for seniors. For when classes resume, these weary seniors will be faced with that true test of cumu- lative knowledge-comprehensives. Much preparation, many prayers, and a steady diet of coffee and cigarettes fortify all those concerned. One of the harbingers of spring, the CU Cardinal. re-appears in more familiar surroundings. With the disappearance of the winter snows and the harsh winds of March, the stadium becomes alive once more. The track team is seen going through its paces. The baseball team can be found going over the fine points of Americas favorite pastime. The stands hold the faithful rooters who brave the one nemesis of Washington--rain! A short distance from here, we find the tennis team making full use of the tennis courts, as they prepare for the up-coming Conference matches. With the advent of warm weather, it becomes harder and harder to seriously concentrate on the rigors of academic endeavors. With Great Falls, Rock Creek Park, and Fort Totten so near, it is not at all difficult to find an excuse for a picnic. The social clubs and classes find this type of atmosphere conducive to good fun. But, one need not fear if transportation presents a problem. CU has an answer to that-the Shahan Lawn Society! The last social outburst of the year is conducted under the auspices of the lnter-Club Council, with a semi- formal dance being held at Arlington Towers. The fraternities also get into the mood of things by present- ing their weekends Parties and picnics are in abun- dance at this time. Thus, the active social calendar is closed for the year. and a more perfect ending could not be found. With one side of campus life extinguished, the lamp of learning is still bright. However, its days are also numbered, Everywhere, students can be found with that questioning look on their faces. Can I get it done on time? These are the unspoken words of those last weeks, as the last paper of the year is written. For the seniors, it is the last seminar report to be given. Down at Tempo ll, we find the senior architects burn- ing that midnight oil, as finishing touches are put on their final project-the thesis. To the music student, the senior recital is a sure sign that the year is rapidly drawing to a close. With the entire year being spent in preparation for this recital, the performance signals the fulfillment of another degree requirement. The activity of the underclassmen takes a somewhat lighter note. Plans are being made for summer corre- spondences and get-togethers. Suitcases and trunks are gradually appearing in dormitory hallways. Ominously, finals descend upon the campus, and one by one, the weary students return to their hometowns. By the end of May, the campus exodus is complete, except for the seniors who are awaiting the reception of their cherished sheepskin.
