 . . . For All Seasons Students recovered from the horrors of Halloween in time to cheer the Paladins to their third straight Southern Conference title. Thankful for the victory and real turkey in the dining hall, they headed home to eat more. The lighting of the Yule Log and the reading of the Christmas story by President Johns highlighted their return from Thanksgiving. Iced windshields and cold, crisp winds signaled the coming of winter to students back from the holidays. When it snowed, the brave ventured forth to the 18th hole on skis, and even some on laundry baskets or dining hall trays. As Lisa Lewis, senior from Tullahomo, Tenn, exclaimed. It was d----the torpedoes; full sled ahead! Students discarded their soaked blue jeans to dress up for the rush parties and the Viennese Ball. Girls returned the favor by entertaining the guys of their choices at the Twirp Dance. Spring break arrived, and students loaded up cars to go to Fort. Lauderdale. Daytona, or the EPCOT center in Florida. Tempertures rose in South Carolina, too. and soon fris-bee players and intramural softball teams were swarming Poteat Field. For some, all the activity was too much. Sherman Woodson, senior from West Pelzer, S.C., said, It (springtime) was happening with intramurals and tennis, except my friends kept blowing me away on the courts. For the less energetic, there was always a ready excuse to sun oneself on the dock or at a softball game. Luckily school ended before students were totally distracted from their studies by the sun and fun of spring. And Furman, the school for all seasons, took a well-deserved reprieve before reopening for those lazy, crazy days of summer school ...
