pring Fever Sweeps Campus All! Sweet, sweet spring. No other season Can com- pare with spring. As you look out the window of one of the rooms overlooking the campus. you see the beau- tilul blue sky, dotted ever so slightly with powder-pull clouds. Then, gazing downward, you see the stately Pin Oaks. faintly' tinged with green. Ah. yes! Sweet Springl The smell of the air. so fresh and Clear. Indeed. spring is a wonderful season. So many' things to do. Athletes busy preparing for the track season. Trying to regain the skill and speed lost during the winter months. Most any time during the day. some of these busy stars Can be seen huffing and puffing around the track, some jumping over the hurdles, others still falling over them. There are also javelin and discus throwers ready to show their skill and power to anyone willing to stand and watch. On the baseball diamond there were gathered all the 'arookiesw and old pros practicing various skills. There is pitching. catching. fielding. and hitting going on simultaneously over the entire field. These are the ambitious peopleg they eanit afford to be hit by spring fever. But - as usual, the majority has been bitten by the bug known as spring fever. The as A Twenty Spring is in the air. is v Harris takes the lead.
