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.

Music building-a ragbag of stripes. strips, and patches of melody Y-ox Musically-inclined students found Grimsleyis Music Department a haven for the cultivation of their varied talents. Mr. Hazelman and his staff instructed the various bands, while Mr. Hill and Miss Force led the chor- al groups to another successful round of performances. This year's March- ing Band showed its proficiency at football half-times and many went on to participate in the basketball sea- sons's Pep Band. Many concerts were on the datebooks of music students. Playing in clinics was one of the activities of the bands, while the Choir and choral groups sang for various church groups and social activities. A new and very successful project launched by the Music Department was the musical production South Pacqfic.
