i; 5 s ty i { pring Sun Prompts Student Fun As spring rounded the corner of a relatively mild winter, it never stayed permanently until April. A week of sun- shine was followed by a week of blue-gray winter skies. Students donned sweaters in the morning, T-shirts and shorts in the afternoon, and sweaters again at night. JIRA TTP RN pe none Aen te en TT Fran Tome When warm weather did become an everyday occur- rence, campus scenes changed drastically. Students switched from long-sleeved shirts and blouses to T- shirts, shorts, and sundresses. Books were put on the shelf as students ventured outside for a quick game of touch football, baseball, or frisbee. Sorority Hill and the outside of residence halls became crowded with scan- tily-clad students catching the sun’s rays between classes. Sunburns and dark tans emerged almost over- night. Yellow butterflies glided from flower to flower. Squir- rels came out of hiding to play and sun on the quadran- gle lawn. March skies were filled witlt colorful kites. The quadrangle became a place to relax and enjoy a moment with the blooming azaleas, tulips, roses, and daisies amidst the carpet of greenery, rather than just a passageway to class. Sitting under a shady tree lifted the day, and worries were put away for a few moments. In only a few days, Sam's winter had been replaced with new life, beauty and color. A) Spectators enjoy an afternoon of sports and sun. B) A co-ed stretches to make a difficult catch.
