Spring brings a blooming of activities Baseball games, flowers, picnics, warm weather — all these help con- tribute to the annual, nation-wide atfliction ot college students and fac- ulty alike — Spring Fever. The weather was just too pretty to spend inside studying; often classes as well as individuals were seen on the grounds soaking up the sun. Like trees and flowers, students needed to thaw out. Springtime was also the time for formals. Nearly every weekend in April and May was filled with ban- quets, parties, dances, and other events planned by the Greek organi- zations. Near the end of school, the long- awaited yearbooks arrived. The out- standing job by last year ' s staff was commended by all on campus, and a final crown of glory came when the well-organized book received an A rating for its content. 17

Local pageant assumes Miss America proportions Under the chairmanship of John Powell and Jane Swift, this year ' s Miss Lambuth Pageant followed a program very similar to that of the Miss America Pageant of which it is now a part. There was also an increase in the scholarship awarded to Miss Lambuth. Prior to actual competition, the girls met the judges at a tea in Wis- dom Parlor where each contestant was interviewed. The night of the pageant, the 18 contestants, repre- senting the different organizations and groups on campus, were judged in three main categories — swimsuit, formal and talent. This year talent ranged from key- board performances to monologues and acrobatics. Following the talent competition, Marsha McDonald, Miss Tennessee 1 972, performed a ballet. At the conclusion of the pageant a new Miss Lambuth, Carolyn Davis, reigned. Her court of four included Darlene Baker, Ibby Seaman, Teh Thomson, and Karen Carter. 18
