Somewhere In Between fter an icy winter, then March Atemperatures in the 90's, and frost on the first day of spring, the weatherman had his doubts about its arrival. But for the clubs and organizations, plans went on for the spring's activities. At the top of the list, the Iunior Class prepared for the upcoming Iunior-Senior Prom with Saturday carwashes, bingo games, and bake sales. The boys' and girls' basket- ball teams competed in a second period Battle of the Sexes. The boys, with a one-arm handicap, managed thirty points to defeat the girls and raised over S200 for the Iunior Class. As the Red Cross Blood Mobile rambled up to Fleming, volunteers rolled up their sleeves and Clubs Sprmg Set me free chant juniors Leslie Dunna- ville, Billie Davis, and Michael Thurman in the Gong Show. They imitated the Supremes. Two arms are better than one as seniors Cathy Crawford and Amy Martin donate stretched out their arms to donate eighty pints on blood donor day. The Red Cross also sponsored a party at the VA Hospital with the Strings Orchestra providing enter- tainment. The Colonel staff offered a chance for talented and untalented people to get in on the act and win S10 prizes by putting on an amateur Gong Show. A slightly different version of the Supremes received a perfect score and captured the title of best act, while Cathy and the Droops ended their act by being gonged off the floor and winning the worst act hands down. At the Latin Banquet, students donned ancient attire and per- formed in one-act skits. Auctioned- off slaves granted their master's every wish by serving food and drink at An Evening on Mount Olympus. With a change in season, students collected all their winter clothes and packed them away to make way for special spring attire. New lace-up sandals, brightly-colored sun dresses, and cut-off jeans edged over the traditional Levis for a new fashion look. A welcome cut-off came in April when city schools let out a week for Easter. Students greased up and baked in the sun, caught up on lost sleep, and visited the local theater to see the Academy Award winning Rocky. But the week seemed all too short when students returned to school with six weeks tests ahead. blood for the Red Cross. 24 Spring Into Aet1on
