S pRlN UP UP IN THE AIR is the water balloon that the Derby Days team must catch in a shirt. I after spring break. The restlessness could be felt throughout the campus. There were many headlines of spring, which proved that summer was on the way. SOCCERFIELD TURNED INTO BEACH. The soccerfield, track and areas next to the dormitories were turned into beaches during the first good week of sunning. Each dorm had it’s own “beach” where students could lay out, while “studying” of course. This would last until the beginning of May, when students would pack into their cars and head to . . . . . . OCEAN CITY. It was the place to be during the month of May. The beaches were not crowded yet, so everyone got their choice as to where they wanted to lay. Some of the shops were open having pre¬ summer sales. However, many 24 General Spring

The Few, The Proud, The Dedicated On January third, a few dedicated students poured into Chester Hall to begin the winter term. Some were trying to get ahead, but many were just trying to catch up or just have enough credits to graduate. For instance, Marcus Harley said that he was taking a course over winter term to try to catch up. However one student, Sue Webb, said that she was taking a medical technology course because it was offered only over winter term. The term was greatly different from regular semester. For one thing, the snack bar was the only food service offered on campus. Those who chose not to eat there had to fend for themselves. For many, this meant a crash cooking course or maybe just cold cereal for a month. These students would spend a gruelling three weeks attending one hour and 45 minute classes every day. JoAnn Waters said that she felt the classes were difficult because of the amount of material covered. Shuna Harmon, however, said, “The classes were easier because there was more time to concentrate on one subject.” Just when they thought it was finally over, it snowed. An extra day would be tacked on to the end of the term, extending it to February third. This meant many students would go home for one day and then come back two days later. “Why should we even go home?” they grumbled. “We’ll just have to turn around and come back in two days.” These dedicated students went home but returned again in two days to start the spring semester, when they began counting the days until summer.

students did not go there to sun, they went there to look for . . . . . . JOBS. Spring began the annual job hunt for many students. Some would stay and work at the beach, while others tried to get office jobs near their homes. Jobs that were just for the summer and were high paying were very difficult to find for most students. Some students however had some really exciting spring jobs chasing derby wearing radio station employees during . . . . . . DERBY DAYS. It was one of the biggest events of spring. Team members chased and captured derby hats and some even managed to find gold discs hidden around campus. The best part though was the skit and beauty contest held in Tawes Gym. Of course the best part of spring was the end of . . . . . . FINALS WEEK. Who wanted to study? No one, but almost everyone did. The summer itch did not help but everyone took their finals very seriously and was glad when they were over because . . . . . . SUMMER WAS HERE, but of course that is another story. £LgET i r 4 THE JOYS OF SPRING. George Rakis, Caroline Haley, and Chris Moore are enjoying the Twin Tower’s picnic.
