4.« .r: : .$-. 4 .-i iV 1 P vX ' Ip ' n:iv heifer dedi( and on a ver, personal level, Big Brother Big Sister; Day. Monsoon Season began and time flew by . . . Songbirds sung in New England, ' ■, wrestling birds went to the MAC ' s, the wa. the female tennis birds did terrifically. All the sports birds came out . . . frisbees, footballs, and , softballs flew ... An occasional bird went swimming in Lake Placida . . . spring was definitely here. I realized how much the weather had changed when I happened to get a glimpse of Wakiki Beach in the dell. All those birds needed was water, a beach, and a few palm trees. I was waiting for the land shark to appear and steal a few of those lovelies . . . Although, that ' s not funny. Our little Ivory Tower was invaded, and many women remember nights they walked in pairs, or grabbed the nearest rooster to escort them back to their nests. The Junior-Senior Dinner Dance was marvelous. I love seeing everyone looking like peacocks! The TGIS Weekend was a huge success . . . everyone who started out on the road rally managed to find their way back to campus . . . excess baggage was sold at the yard sale . . . a bluegrass group played in the Brinser courtyard . . . and Jack Flash was amazing. The year certainly flew by . . . although I ' m sure many of the fledglings wanted a few more hours during finals week. The dormitories were never dark. The poor nestlings were in a state of shock, so much work and no time! A semester ' s worth of knowledge was condensed into one all nighter (or five). Nestlings were cracking under the pressure of being forced to study during Friday and Saturday nights!! But time was running out, and although coffee prices were high, enough coffee was consumed on campus to Ssj KSSfiW ' ■ ' ' pay the wages of all the coffee workers in Brazil! Zombies roamed around campus, waking up enough to throw a frisbee, or to partake of some liquid refreshment after a hard weeks work. time it was . . . until May 4th. The young nestlings returned home to their parent ' s nexts, and the fledglings were preparing to test out their new flying feathers in 4 days. I don ' t know how they did it, but a year ' s worth of socializing was condensed into those four days. Along with a lifetime of worrying, many fledglings had no where to fly after May 8th. The realities of a bleak future, with no nest of their own, or a nest with no worms on the table, began to sink in. Many realized the true test of their wings would not come on May 8th, but many months later. Still, they went through with graduation. They ' ll fly back onto campus as alumni, but regardless of the status of the young birds, all have fond memories . . . Pizza Town at 12:30 ... the machine take-over of the Jay ' s nest . . . talks with a good friend at odd hours . . . the meeting of a nest-mate . . . and the flock they associated with won ' t be forgotten . . . too many met friends that will last many migrations, storms, and the greying (and loosing) of feathers. The Blue Jays that graduated will never forget their home for four years. And the other nestlings . . . they ' ll be back ready for action in the fall of ' 77. After all, one flock flies the coup, and another is ready to take their place. There will be no end to the long line of Blue Jays . . .
