Look around! You see colorful flowers, budding- trees,
whistling birds and sparkling brooks. Everyone knows, of
course, it’s spring!
Spring is beautiful, as al-ways, but this year it is extra
special. Everyone remembers not long ago when the ground
was six inches deep in snow and the mercury fell below zero.
And everyone certainly can’t forget those rainy mornings'
when he would have given anything to have stayed in bed
instead of trudging off to school. When the wind was blowing
right through your coat, how many times did you say to
yourself “Won’t spring ever come?”
Well it’s here, and everyone is beginning to feel it. As
the warm breezes blow in the window, haven’t you found
yourself day-dreaming rather than concentrating on math?
While you should have been doing homework, weren’t you
wondering off down the street thinking of what you will do
in the summer? Or maybe you have developed a case of “I-
don’t-care.” One way or the other it is all called “spring fever.”
What’s the use in having a special time of the year when
everything is bright, if everyone forgets his obligations and
the real lesson s])ring teaches? It’s the awakening, everything
is clean and new, ready to make another start. It should be
the same with everyone of us!
Everyone needs a little spring in his life, but everyone
should use it wisely—not as a letdown in lessons and activities
but as a promise that everything can be just as wonderful as
spring. Let’s all make it so! By Connie Newnam

Can not we keep our campus clean,
Let the town know we’re on the beam?
Even though, tip to now, we have been lax.
And lacked tvhat it takes with polish and wax.
Now’s the time to save our face.
End with much work this one disgrace.
Render your service and help set the pace!
Can not we work for a more pleasant scene?
Along Ferndale, too, we should try to clean.
Many tvho travel along our walks.
Perhaps, may whisper about us and talk.
Unless we get on the ball and work
Since from our duty we must not shirk!

Do You Want To Be Piguant?
These Students Aren't Sure
Piquant means having- a lively
charm so the quality of piquancy
is one that every student would
want to have. However some stu
dents are not so sure they would
like to have it judging- from the
answers they gave to the follow
ing question.
What would you do or say if
somebody told you that you had
piquancy ?
Annette Chamblee: “I would ask
the doctor how long I had to
live.”
Don Rogers: “Slug him!”
Buddy Nash: “Shut up!”
Donna Clement: “Should I be
quarantined ?”
Linda Henry; “I’d go to the rest
room and powder my nose.”
Jane Honeycutt: “I’d call a doctor
and hide from the public.”
Zana Lanier: “I’d try to get a
sun tan so I’d have more color
in my skin.”
Marie Kersey: “I’d call on a
veterinarian.”
Ashley Morris: “I’d tie it to a
string and drag it around to
ward off danger.”
Letters...
. . . to the Editor
Dear Editor,
In our school, I have noticed
in the two years I have been here,
the students place themselves in
‘classes.’ They start with the presi
dent, (no offense to him) and
committee heads, to the students
in detention hall.
Many a time I have heard the
wistful phrase, “I wish I were a
big-shot.”
This gives the impression of I-
am-better-than-you on the part
of the “higher class” and many
an inferiority complex is the re
sult.
If all of us were as one class,
to work together, I know this
would be a happier, more en
joyable school in which to spend
our week days.
In all sincerity,
Linda Samet
Dear Editor,
I would like to say a few words
about teachers helping candidates
in a campaign. In the first place.
I feel that it gives the candidate
an unfair advantage, as teachers
do have a certain power of per
suasion. Secondly, sometimes there
are two candidates in one room,
running for the same office and
the teacher may help one and not
the other. I know that a lot may
be gained by the help of a teacher,
but wouldn’t it be better, if we
left the campaigning to the stu
dent?

‘‘Is there a perfect girl any
where ?”
“No one girl is perfect!”
But ingredients from a few
different girls make up the perfect
recipe.
Use Genna Crater’s pert, brown
eyes and Vickie Burton’s delicate
eyebrows to begin this recipe.
Anita Hauser’s lips and Billie
Choplin’s neat, black hair must
also be there to fill the bill.
The smile that reveals those
gleaming white teeth can only
belong to Linda Cabot, and no
recipe would be at all complete
without the aristocratic nose of
Judy Culp.
Sandy Morris’ lovely complex
ion and Beth Thomas’ beautiful
hands are a must, but without
Kathy Jowett’s pretty clothes you
haven’t completed this recipe. It
must take someone’s intellect,
which could only be Sylvia Sale’s.
The well-known Patsy Peatross
and her wonderful disposition
could not be left out.
The shape of Jane Grimsley’s
face will go well with Kitty
Stronach’s dimples. Dollie Samet’s
athletic ability is a must to the
other ingredients.
This recipe has to look neat,
of course, and Freddie DeLappe has
the requirements.
A dash of Rose Ann Boyles sense
of humor and Ellen Eaves’ voice
is all we need of the seasoning.
When we take Donna Raye
Clemen t’s figure and Peggy
M'iley’s legs we have the final
ingredients for a perfect girl.
If it takes will power to keep from
gobbling up all of this wonderful
recipe. Candy Crawford has it.
(She has been on a diet for four
weeks now.)
