March's changing seasons reflected new activities for Sandia's populace as the end of school loomed ever closer. Swimming and basketball tourneys, baseball games, golf, tennis matches and track meets kept sports fans busy in March. Student Body Council endorsed faculty plans for a scholarship fund in memory of Mrs. Evelyn Civerolo. Homerooms raised money for the fund with proiects ranging from a coffee shop to buying out of class. Local students participating in summer tours, including 60 Sandians, attended a fashion show at Sandia to select ap- propriate wardrobes for their summer tours of Europe. Dramatists kept busy with a class presentation of The Wizard of Oz and rehearsals for the April all-school pro- duction of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk- wood. Plans for summer school were an- nounced, and students began thinking of next year as pre-registration ap- proached. Albuquerque Youth Council sponsored a Teen Arts-Crafts Fair March 27-28. Explosions on Israel-bound planes led to baggage checks by x-ray, stethoscope and simple scrutinizing from top to bot- tom. The Arab terrorist attacks also led to frisking of passengers. Charles DiBona replaced Lieutenant General Lewis B. Hershey, 76, who had stepped down as director of the newly revised Selective Service System. Expo-70 opened in Osaka, Japan, for a 183 day run. The architecturally phenomenal exhibits of 72 countries centered around the theme of progress and harmony. Despite frequent demonstrations, French President Georges Pompidou made his first visit to the United States. Included in his nine day tour were con- ferences with President Nixon and trips to Cape Kennedy, San Francisco, Chi- cago and New York. Avalanches plagued communities in the Alpine nations with Switzerland suf- fering its worst since 1749. North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao troops again attacked Laos, capturing the Plain of Jars and the Moung Soui airstrip. Many Americans worried that as the country's involvement in South Vietnam lessened, involvement in Laos would increase. The eclipse of the century occurred March 7. Path of visibility of the eclipse cut across Mexico and the United States. The next visible solar phenomenon is expected in the year 2024. Recently suspended Detroit Tiger star pitcher Denny McLain and former pitch- ing great Dizzy Dean were among those charged in a nationwide sports gambling scandal. Let It Be emerged as the top song of March. Ever popular Funny Girl returned to city theaters, again attracting large audiences.
