SPRING AND MAY DAY What is it about spring that makes a student want to skip classes, and soak up sun rays, play tennis, or go drink cold beverages? What ever it is, that is what makes spring quarter the hardest quarter of the year. The quarter begins with the student approaching the arduous task of registration in one or two ways. Either he signs up for a light load of easy B electives with the thought in mind of increasing his social knowledge, or he signs up for the courses he blew in the fall and winter quarters with the hope of redeeming himself before being dropped from school. But the distractions from studies are at a peak and take their toll, regardless. The climate was definitely the main factor which made the distractions so irresistible as the hot and humid air created unbearable conditions for studying, in the dorms. Refuge from the heat was taken either in the air conditioned library and classroom buildings or over to a friend ' s apartment. If the student chose the latter, he invariably ended up in a bull session around the pool. One distraction of Spring is the May Day weekend. This is a weekend of step singing, May Dance, May Queen and King, parents day, and sports activities. The next couple of pages will show you what happened on that weekend. 27
