The Motley Axe of Spring Spring is tough, all right. Gorgeous weather entices the student into a lackadaisical mood and lures him away from his studies. And if the weather weren ' t enough, activities of all kinds divert the student from the books. Student Council election week provides a week of chaos, as candidates resort to any and all inducements to persuade students to cast ballots their way. The annual Spring Formal — last spring at the Racquet Club with the Generics playing — allows us to dance away more study time.
