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!

STUDENT LIFE What can be lovlier than a day in springtime? A likely candidate is a springtime twilight. The warmth of the nights, scented by the sweet- ness of newly awakened flowers affect every physical sense and the indescribable inner senses in human awareness. An extra special night in spring was that of the Jr.-Sr. Prom. During the few hours of the prom the atmosphere was especially warmed by the smiles of friendship and romance. The air was sweetened not only by the perfumed and be- flowered belles but also through the unified feelings of mirth and happi- ness. A high school gym transformed into a beautiful ballroom became the perfect container for the many beau- tiful people who entered, and the wonderful memories that they created. The theme of the prom “We May Never Pass This Way Again” was truly fitting because those lovely special moments of happiness on that special night in spring may never be captured again.
