Seasons In The Sun And Rain And Cold And . . . There are advantages as well as dis- advantages to living in the South. Within that geographic area, residents experi- ence all four distinct seasons. They can feel crisp fall days, cold winter days, warm spring days, and hot summer days. Meredith is no exception to the rest of the South. From the early days of fall, Meredith students enjoy the beauty of the turning of the leaves. With a campus abundant with trees, the colors of fall are everywhere! Then wintertime approaches with cold temperatures. This winter brought only a small amount of snow (2-3 inches), but its presence made winter seem more real. Winter did not last long as warm temperatures appeared be- fore Spring Break. The pink blossoms of the azaleas at the Lake assured us that spring was here. As spring days wore on, the sun gave us a warm hint that summer was quickly approaching, and the school year would end very soon. Just as there is beauty in every season at Meredith, there is enjoyment in every season. A brisk autumn walk to check the mail is a must for every student. Although the snowfall this year was not large, stu- dents grabbed trays from the cafeteria and headed down to the Lake for fraying. Spring brought out the joggers who were trying to get ready for bikini weather. Summer definitely began early, in March, as the beaches around Meredith became crowded with many sunbathers. Tennis match spectators enjoy a game and a warm spring day. 4 Opening
