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.

Attempt on Papal Life Prince Weds Lady Di Pope John Paul II, after receiving the Papal throne, began conducting audiences with his people. May 13, during one of his audiences, an old Turk raised his semiautomatic pistol and fired at the Pope in his Popemobile. The Pope ' s abdomen and one hand was hit. Although he was not assassinated, he was ad- mitted, discharged, and readmitted to the hospital over a course of a couple months for treatments. Baseball Takes Break June 12, the players of Major League Baseball went on a 50 day strike. The complex issue which the strike developed over was a protest. The players walked out in protest of the club owners ' demand for increased compensation on players they lose to another team as free agents. This walkout caused many people to lose their jobs; with no spectators coming to stadiums to watch baseball, the field attendants, concession and souvenir personnel were no longer required by the stadiums ' management. The awesome pageantry of the marriage of Lady Diana Spencer to Prince Charles exemplified the prestige and elegance of the Royal Family of Britain. In July, the world watched the Royal Cou- ple exchange vows in Sir Christopher Wren ' s St. Paul ' s Cathedral. After the ceremony, the couple preceded to a royal landau which carried the cou- ple through the cheering crowds of touring spectators. 28 Newsline
