VND PLAYTIME . . Dying-summer hot, early-autumn days when the streets and walks are boiling over with flailing limbs of many persons, and school begins again to rush along the hurdled path to June. Freshman Week takes a tentative, apprehensive step and crescendos toward the Registration Hop when the dancers meet each other for the first time.

June announces heated approach of summer, bringing with it gradua- tion among other things . . . and the Seniors stroll into the sunrise. 23
