After School Changes Lives Summer Love And Laughter After school, a new world unfolds with the help of a calm spring breeze. Flowing through our small town, the scents of budding flowers and the sights of tranquil birds make our thoughts of schoolwork and its problems soon disappear in exchange for thoughts of love and laughter. Loneliness is not felt away from our schoolfriends. The time we spend enveloped in nature causes us to examine our friendships or just marvel at all nature ' s beauty. When we are with our closest friends, however, we strengthen our love and prove we are not alone. There is always something we could do with those we care about. A friendly game of frisbee, football, or baseball could always skin our knees (and sometimes — hopefully not often — our friendships). If we wanted to get out of our small town, a trip to the lake would offer some change of scenery. Even though we could be guaranteed fun in the sun when we are with our friends, we still need to reserve time for ourselves, and maybe for that special someone in our lives. We could always talk about anything, or (if we don ' t feel like talking) we could stop and take the time to smell the flowers. SCOTT ALBOSTA displays his frisbee talents on a warm spring day. (f.

Spring Begins New Semester . . . Activities Bring Year to Close With the arrival of longer days and warmer temperatures, spring had officially begun. Along with the arrival of spring came the hectic, fun-filled days of second semester. The crazy antics of the slaves on slave day got second semester off to a running start. The slave auction, held in February, put new life into the halls. The slaves were subjected to wearing different clothes, to dancing, to singing, and to just about anything dreamed up by their owners. The powder puff pep rally and game, perhaps the high point of the spring season, brought some definite changes to the halls of Smith. Students were allowed to switch roles for a day. The female students donned football gear; while the male students led cheers, performed dance routines, and twirled batons. The seniors triumphed over the rookie juniors with a score of 25-13. The annual talent show or officially the Fine Arts Review was held in the evening rather than as a paid assembly as in the past. While students may not have appreciated the lack of paid assemblies, the show had a sense of professionalism about it and was a great success. Banquets were prevalent throughout the spring. The purpose of these banquets was to recognize students who had participated in various organizations throughout the year. Clubs held officer elections and began making preparations for the coming year. All these events symbolized the gradual wind-down of the year.
