iving'for EISUFE onger days and warmer nights marked the arrival of our long anticipated spr- ing. Winter had worked overtime, and in turn, limited the number of days we had to psyche ourselves up for the approaching summer. However, on our precious few balmy days, we compensate well for the interminable winter. The halls were a sea of carnival colors. Many students adorned themselves head to toe with OP sunwear. Semi-revealing clothes were com- mon simply because they enhanced the early stages of bronzeness. Spring Fever raged in full force. Teachers, though not so harshly inflicted as students, were not immune to the force. Usually closed windows were raised and the feeling of spring filtered in with the beams of sunlight. Seniors were hit hardest by the rampant fever. For many the rising mercury was accom- panied by falling grades. To the graduates the beginning of spring signaled the end of a way of life. The motions that they had strived to ad- just to were all to be forgotten. Spring meant it was all over, the semester exams, the six o'clock alarms, and unfortunately, many of the friend- ships that had formed. Spring . . . to some it was a beginning and to others it was an end. For a while, it was the way we lived. It ruled what we ate, how we played, and when we slept. We grew into it and we grew out of it like our baby clothes that are secretly stored in a forgotten place. - julie Richards, Seemin ly alone, Scott Toma gophomoreb, takes time to prepare all his equipment which consisted mainly of cleats and a glove, before he faces the long hours of practice.
