The spring months started slowly because of the increasing Senior slump which seemed to affect students of each class in varying degrees. Suddenly the third quarter had ended, and MUS began racing towards the end of winter, formals, and the annual March of Dimes drive, kept alive by special permission. It was the last month of serious study for most, for the coming months brought many activities. In contrast, to last year, the spring formal was an enormous success; the various other sorority spring formals were of the usual good quality as each succeeding class attended more and more of them. Immediately, the student body was confronted with the traditional confusion of elections. The election of Honor Council President was taken seriously and, as expected, congenial Price Morrison was chosen. For weeks students speculated as to who would be nominated for the Student Council Offices; however, when the long day of conventions finally ended, there were many unexpected nominations. The students were faced with a real choice for the presidency between two extremes-traditional and novel. The two candidates represented a mixture of social and academic interests. The annual spring musical was disappointing to some, the b others; but at any rate it was enjoyable. As the year neared completion, it seemed as though teachers loaded students with as much work as they could. Academically, Juniors had their most important examinations— the SAT, ACT, and ACH of the College Board. The cycle of a senior year was starting over. On May 19, Seniors departed the hallowed halls of MUS for the last lime with reminiscences, expectations, and just a tinge of sentiment. One week later, summer finally arrived, and the 1974 year concluded. SPRING: ELECTIONS GRADUATION, SAT
