Grimsley High School - Whirligig Yearbook (Greensboro, NC)

A limbo of lethargy engulfs the masses: mid-semester blues The icy chill of winter begins to abate near the beginning of March. All over the campus, tender green buds burst out, heralding the start of the new season. Life at Grimsley begins the slow shift from hibernating in warm buildings to congregating on the sun-drenched grounds Another harbinger of spring, the gym closes its doors to the last bounding basketball, while spring track runners can again be seen sprinting around the stadium track. The atmosphere is par- ticularly poignant for Seniors. This is the last leg of their high school days, and admissions news elates or de- jects college-bound students. The end of the year is at last in sight, but its very proximity makes it seem too far away. The first warm breez- es blow in an infectious yearning to be outside, and teachers find it more and more difficult to keep a class interested in academic matters. A new excitement invades the air-that indefinable essence that is Spring.
