w Spring Revelry 3 Revives Wintry t ‘Withered-ness’ w p 5 H 02 Why do we call those warm won- derful months after winter — Spring? Because, the entire action of this season is described by just this verb “to spring.” Not only are beautiful flowers springing their heads over the fresh green blankets of newly grown grass, but human nerves are also springing loose for joy. Trying to endure the imprisonment of the winter months had become the ulti- mate test of nerves for teachers and students. It was no wonder that those first warm days pushed some sort of button that quickly unwound that tightened inner coil, and caused everyone to “spring” forward into vivid expressions of joy. No one minded the winds of March or the showers of April for the prospects of the warmth of freedom in summer protected them from any discomforts. Spring — a time for the new, but not the “blues” means warmth, freedom and happiness for you!

Below—Tammy and Angela steal some of the snow’s beauty for themselves, and remind us of Frosty Friday’s frolickings. Probably the most joyous day of the week at NHS (or for any school for that matter) is the last day — Friday. Everyone, students, and fac- ulty alike, were usually in extreme- ly high spirits rallied with thoughts of wild, but wintry weekends, but on one particular Friday, our emo- tions were sent soaring into the heavens. Why? A miracle occurred in Elizabeth City — It snowed! Those tiny bits of icy lace covered the earth for a few moments, but long enough to cover the decaying vegeta- tion or any ugliness with its fleecy blanket. Through its pure beauty, and its rarity, the snow lifted our hearts and souls on that one Frosty Friday. Left—Have you ever tasted a snowflake? Our panel of connoisseurs decided that snow is more fun to play in than it is to eat. Below—Watch out! That ice is slippery and hard as Mike Dickerson will soon discover. Which will break. Mike or the ice? Left—Burr it is cold outside! This chilly group runs inside as winter with his sharp teeth and icy breath is snapping at their heels. ...ON FRIDAY 19 STUDENT LIFE
